Another great discovery has
been made, and that, too, by a
woman in this country. e'Dis-
ease fastened it's clutches upon
her and for seven years she with
stood it's severest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
three months she coughed inces-
sanity, and could not sleep. She
finally discovered a way to recov-
cry by purchasing of us bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, and was SO much
relieved on taking first dose that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.'

Chrysanthemum and Pansy

"Some people are like chrysan-
themums," remarked Farmer
John, as he and his old wife sat
at the breakfast table. The old
lady lifted her snowy head and
asked, softly, CHOW so, John?"
"Well, the chrysanthenum
comes through the ground early
in the spring, makes a vigorous
growth through the summer,
puts forth a profusion of solid,
compact buds in August, and
never blooms till the frost comes.
They're disappointing, you know.
You are always expecting them
to burst into gorgeous flower,
but they hang on week after
week, seeming no nearer perfec-
ton, till some night a blighting
frost comes, and, 10! the shell
tered branches are a blaze of
beauty-too late to give the en-
joyment they have promised.
"Job Knowles is a chrysanthe-
mum. Why, when he first joined
the church, thirty years ago, l
thought he would grow and flour
ish spiritually and be pleasure
and delight to every Christian,
and an inspiration and uplift to
those outside the ark of safety.
But he lived along year after
year, keeping only enough of
Christ In his life to show that he
really was his follower, yet never
once blooming out into flower un-
til the frosts of adversely came
and the sudden death of his only
child stirred the stagnant life
blood in his beng, and his life
burst into the full flower of a
faith that had laid dormant for
lack Of exercise all these years.
But Job can only gladden. the
world such a short time, for his
head is white with the SHOWS of
many winters.
"Now, I would rather be
pansy, myself" continued Farm
er John, glancing through the
dinnipg-room window at a bed of
hardy green leaves creeping
sturdiIy over the frozen ground.
''They give satisfaction all the
time, you see. They push out
their first sturdy blossoms before
the frost has left the ground, and
they are a blaze of color till the
ground freezes again next fall;
and you remember, Ruthie, how
often you and l have gathered be-
lated blossoms from under the
snow.
,"Now, there is Widow Lee,
Ruth. She reminds me of the
pansies. No sort of weather
makes any difference with her.
She blooms right along through
bright days and through dark,
through fair weather and through
storm. There is no mistaking
her intentions. She is a Chris
tian, and her life blossoms out In
all the beautiful Christian graces,
gladdening every one who knows
her. The sorrowful and the af-
filcted go to her for comfort, and
the glad happy go to her for SYM
pathy, and her rich nature salts
fies all and blesses all. Yes; l
would like to be a pansy."
"And that is just what you
truly are, Farmer JOHN" said
the old wife across the breakfast
table-"a great golden hearted,
fragrant, winter blooming pan
