REPRESENTS

Health and strength carry as
through dangers and make us safe in
the presence of peril. A perfectly
strong man with rich, pure blood, has
nothing to fear from germs. He may
breathe in the bacilli of consumption
with imp,snity. If there is weak
spot whore the germs may find an
entrance TO the tissues, then the trouble
begins. Disease germs propagate with
lightning-like rapidity. Once in
in the blood, the only way to get
rid Of them is to kin them. This is
what DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is for. 1t parifies the blood.
That means that it kills the germs, but
that is only part of what II does. 1t
assists digestion by stimulating the
secretion of digestive fluids, so promot-
Tag assimilation and nutrition; purifies
and enriches the blood and so supplies
the tissues with the food they need. IL
builds up strong, healthy flesh and
puts the whole body into a disease
resisting state.

Fatal Curiosity Of Monkeys-6one Tiny
Spoons-A Tragedy In Eivo
Acta

In capturing monkeys, IL Is said that
curiosity is the thing that makes them
an easy prey. Nearly all Of the-monkeys
that we see in this country come from
Gornona, a little village situated a short
distance from the Panama railroad.
The inhabitants Of this distxict ae
mostly native negroes. for few white
men could bear the climate The whole
region is marshy and cove1ed with trop-
ical vegetation. At night there arises
thick vapor laden with fever, which
hangs over the woods Hike a cloud
This region Of woods, Is the paradise
of the monkeys, says the Philadelphia
Times. They travel in troops. led by an
older monkey. When the people receive
information that the travelling monkey
troops" are near the village, they go to
the woods in crowds to catch them.
Their plan is very simple. They cut
hole in cocoanut large enough for a
monkey paw to enter. The nut is then
followed ont. and piece Of sugar is
placed in it. A piece Of string Is then
fastened to it, and 1t lie placed In the
road OF the approaching monkeys.
1t is well known that monkeys are
very inluisitive. When they see the
cocoanut in the grass they hurry to ex-
anime it Il does not take them long to
find out that the inner part contains a
piece Of sugar. One Of the boldest and
greediest sticks paw into the nut to
get the sugar. and graspe IL as firmly as
he can. But his fist is so large that be
cannot draw It out Of the hole again
with the sugar. to which be holds fast.
cost what it may.
The natives nov pub the string until
nut and monkey arrive in the vicinity
Of their ambuscade. In the meantime.
the other monkeys wonder what is the
matter with their comrade. They hurry
to see where he Is being puiled to with
his paw in the cocoanut. They crowd
around him chattering and gesticulat-
ing. and the natives. who have large
net ready. cast II over them. and before
they know It all are prisoners. They are
sold to the employees Of the Panama
railroad and reach the North American
markets through commercial dealers.

Breckenridge.
FELLOW STUDENTs:-Y You. no doubt
along with us, feel that in the recent
sudden death of Prof. Brec ienridge
you have lost true and valued friend.
You remember the kindly interest
be took in you, not only while in his
school, but after you ceased to be an
attendant there; also, how earnestly he
labored to aid you to become more in
telligent men and women; you doubt
less remember with a more kindly
feeling and higher appreciation the
deep concera he took in reaching your
inner life, and arousing within your
hearts the noble aspirations for higher
and better things.
You, perhaps, feel, as you reflect up.
on the events of your school days, that
the laudable ambition he awakened in
you to reach higher plane, morally
as well as intellectually, has, in a
great measure, enabled you to become
what you are.
A number Of his pupils who were
present at his funeral, prompted by a
desire to manifest in some appropriate
and tangible manner their esteem for
him, and their appreciation of his
work, met at the DEBORAH Institute in
the evening to discuss ways and
means of raising fund to erect suit
able monument in commentator OF
his work.
In order that the thought thus ex-
pressed might be carried into action, it
was deemed advisable to entrust the
work to an executive committee, and
accordingly the committee of seven,
composed Of those whose names appear
below, was selected.
We have chosen to reach you by is
suing an open letter informing you of
this movement, and offering you an
opportunity to contribute to this fund.
We trust that you will take a per-
sonal interest in this matter, and, in
addition to a prompt remittance, as
sist us in calling the attention of other
DEBORAH Institute students to this
movement, and when possible, by
sending us the names and addresses of
former students residing in your vici-
nifty.
Thanking you in advance for q
prompt reply and your remittance, we

vate car. which the Admiral has had at
his disposal since he left New York last
Tuesday, and which was attached to the
rear Of the express. Three times the
Admiral came out on the platform, but
there was no speech-mating or hand
shaking. Owing TO the belaied condition
OF the train few people along the route
gathered TO greet him.
The party waited quarter Of an hour
here for the Admrals carriage. and
when he passed through the crowd I'm

cheering. which the Admiral acknow-
lodged by lifting his hat. lie was driven

gagements for the next few days, and
expects to give himself complete rest.
So far. he has fixed no date for the Al
l lanta reception.
