have had a weak spot somewhere"
The fact is, almost everybody has
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots.
If your stomach or your liver won't do
its proper work, if your body fails to
get its full nourishment from the food
You eat, and your brain loses part OF the
sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
your frame and muscular your limbs may
be, you will give out; disease will find the
weak spot, and nature will give way.

for the house. while the deacon, mystified
and angered, clambered up the perpendlc-

The morning meal in the little farm house
was not as comforting as usual. partic-
ularly for the farmer and his wife. 1t
might have been noticed that the deacon
fingered long and fervently over the thanks
which he invariably offered up from his
board. 1t might have been noticed also
that appended to those fervent thanks was
an earnest supplication that Divine Provi-
dence in its all-seeing wisdom might not
Judge harshly the weakness of his erring
children, all of which was lost on Joel, in
asmuoh as it was well known to be part
of the deacons religious philosophy to re-
gard all earthly beings weak and sinful
in the eyes of the Lord. AS for the deacon,
he was surprised to note that Joers appe-
tite seemed even better than usual;
The meal finished, Mrs. Birdsell arose.
and from force of habit began to clear

natural and at ease although in spite of
himself there was threatening ring in his
voice, "supposin you walk down to the

Joel had picked up his hat and had

"All right, then: must be somethn' ter

detected q stern look on his brothers face
and sensibly concluded that argument was
a waste of time.
Then the deacon did not wait to make
further reply, but started out of the house,
motioning for his brother to follow him.

Uruguay's New National Bank

which will have the right to issue bank

pay its notes in gold or silver at its own
discretion. and the president and directors

This bank will in all probability reduce
Uruguay to a silver basis, for any such
financial institution under a South Ameri-

quality of jack taken from there not

ton regarding the output, | tried
very hard to obtain the status of
the mining property and operations
there, but could not do 50 so gave it
up.
"a man can stand better chance,
in my opinion, in that region, to
make money mining when the rail
roads have built in than in any 9th
er mining region known. 1t is un-

have to sink shaft 200 or 800 feet
