MAKES OVER THE BONES.
Chicago Clinical Profess
sors Claim They Can
Prolong Life.
They Give Hypodermlc Injections of
Lymphatic Fluid of Animals.
Particularly Goats.

Chicago, May 16.-A discovery which
it is claimed solves the problem of cir
cumventing old age has just been made
public by Profs. Joseph r. Awley and
Alexander G. Wiener, of the Chicago
Clinical School. The return to youth,
it is asserted, is produced by hypo-
dermic injections of the lymphatic fluid
of animals, particularly young goats.
The discovery was made year ago,
and subsequent secret demonstrations
of its efficacy are asserted.
The general theory of the discovery
is that if the mineral deposits which
accumulate in the bones in the process
of life can be replaced with the '1ife
cells'' contained in the Emphatic
glands of goats, deterioration of the
bones will be prevented and elasticity
and youth will be retained in the sys-
tenn much longer.
The apostles of the discovery do not
claim that man or woman thus charg-
ed with goats 'life cells" will live
forever, but they say life will be pro-
longed, perhaps doubled.

BETTER POLITICS.

Politics has only one aim that is worth
the bother of moment, and that is the
improvement of the moral and social
condition of the people. Whatever
material interests are sought resolve
themselves at last into question of the
happiness of homes, and this matter
can be advanced only by integrity,
sobriety, intelligence and good will.
And wherever you see little schem-
ing politician doling out money, prom
ises or beer, and inflaming few blind
adherents with his own selfish ends,
you may put him down as an enemy to
society. This is the sort of politics the
people should crush. 1t is not low per-
sonal triumphs that men should seek,
but great moral triumphs that make
the people truer and better. Is this
best for the public good? Is this man
calculated to help on the cause of the
people? Decent, manly, upright poll
tics is patriotism; the other kind is
treason. No home, no business, no
right purpose is benefited by politics
smelling of whisky, tainted with
Doodle, or soaked with prejudice. Our
politics should get on the high levels,
above bossism, Doodle or faction, into
the clear atmosphere of duty, where
education, public spirit, the peoples
good, and the fear of God have full
influence. Here is where the public
welfare should be sought, and where all
friends of truth and progress should be
found.-Ironton Register.

OBITUARY.

Nathan Baker Smith was born April
20, 1922, in Morgan county, Ohio.
When about 20 years of age he went to
Allen county, where on May 3, 1916, he
was united in marriage with Lettitia
Stevenson. To them were born six
children, four sons and two daughters.
One son, alone, survives him. From
Allen county he returned to Morgan
county, thence to Franklin county. In
1857, he came to North Greenfield,
Logan county, where he resided until
his death. After the death of his wife,
August 20, 1887, his life was sad and
lonely, until the coming few months
ago of a beloved niece, who made his
remaining days as pleasant and COM
Portable as could be for one suffering as
he was. He passed quietly and peace
fully away on the evening of May 16,
1899, aged II years and 26 days.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. MATTE
SPENCER.

Mrs. Matte Spencer, nee Woods, was
born Aug. 6, 1865, and died May 5, 1899,
aged 80 years, 8 months and 20 days.
She was the widow of Mr.. James
Spencer, who was killed two years ago
the 5th of last December, by being run
over by load of baled hay.
Her death was caused by that fatal
disease, consumption. Although her
sufferings were long and severe, she
bore them with patience and christian
faith.
She was a christian woman and pre-
pared and ready to answer to her
Savior's call. She was a member OF
the Presbyterian church, having joined
it several years ago.
She leaves a son, mother, brothers,
one sister and a large number of friends
to mourn her loss; but their loss is her
eternal gain.
Her funeral was preached by her
minister, Rev. Elcock, at Belle Center,
on Sabbath. She was laid to rest in
Fair View cemetery.

THE INFINITE.

o. Thou, whose presence doth abound,
Through endless space all motions guide,
Unchanged Thou art as years go round.
Thou God, there is no God beside.
Thy dwelling place none can explore,
Nor comprehend the mystery
That wells the being we adore,
Though sought through all eternity.
Philosophers may strive in vain
To count the stars which thou hast made,
And human thought will yet remain
In darkness still without Thy aid.
Being OF beings Thou alone
Dost dwell within eternal light,
Exalted high upon thy throne,
Thou rulest all things by thy might.
From nothingness thou didst create
Variety in every form,
The heavens, the earth, all animate,
Unite thy greatness to adorn.
Thy chains the universe surround,
Upheld by Thee inspired with breath,
The beginning with the end hast bound
And wisely mingled life with death.
Millions Of orbs light up the sky,
wandering tnfOuSh lnnnlee space,
Cease not their motions as they fly,
Obey the mandate of Thy voice,
What then am 1 compared to Thee,
Though measured by sublimest thought?
Against thy greatness, helplessness,
Against infinity but naught.
Naught, but live with hope inspired,
That may find my rest in Thee,
In mercy find my fond desire,
1 am, o God, and Thou must be.

Aguinaldo and his associates had left
for Hongkong, and the former con-
tinued on to Singapore, where Spanish
agents tried pretty hard to get hold OF
him. Even before the war with America
broke out it seems that he had decided
to revive the insurrectiOn, Spain's
violation of the agreement absolving
him. On the oath of April Aguinaldo
met the Hon. E. Spencer Pratt, United
States consul general, in the presence
of Messrs. Howard w. Bray, Agui
naldo's private secretary; j. Leyba,
Col. M. Il. del Pinar and DIR. Marceline
Santos.
In this interview A guinaldo described
the causes and incidents of the last re-
bellion, and, in case of war, explained
the nature of the cooperation he could
give, while he promised to maintain
order and to conduct the war on civil
lied principles. He declared his ability
to establish a responsible government
on liberal principles, and that he would
be willing to accept for Luzon the same
terms as the United States intend Civ
ing to Cuba.
Consul Pratt communicated by tele-
graph with Admiral Dewey, at whose
request Aguinaldo left Singapore for
Hongkong on April 26. Since then
Aguinaldo has done some fighting; he
has given evidence of pluck and ability
and thus far he has kept his agreement.
He has certainly great influence and a
host of followers among the Philip
pines.
There is nothing in this to show that
Aguinaldo betrayed his people, but
everything to show that he looked out
for their best interests, and when they
were betrayed, returned to take up
their cause again. 1t is to be deplored
that he was led into making war against
the United States, but he should not be
traduced for that which he was never
guilty of, but should be held in esteem
for his desire to free his people.

AFTER A SHOWER.

A sudden burst of sunshine; 7
A spray Of dazzling drops,
With every light breeze sweeping
The heavy-leaved tree-tops;
And robin perks his head
Up from the beaten clover
And shows his breast Of red,
Piping: Its over, overr' q
Out of the sodden grasses sE
The timid crickets peep;
From white tents of the lilies
The clumsy bees outcreep. -
Grasshoppers rustic by,
Mid smoky hay-ricks skipping;
And wrangling cat-birds cry:
'Oh, dear! oh, dear! we're drippingP'
The vines along the roadside
In green disorder trail;
And harki Bob White is calling
From yonder zigzag rail.
In wavering groups of gold
Wee butterflies are shining;
And fleecy clouds uprolled NJ
Show earth their silver lining.
The dragon-f1y Is summing
His jeweled wings again;
Sl1y-dap pied, white and azure,
The brook laughs down the plain;
And yellow brides pipe
Atop of the thistle-hower;

What a lovely. lovely showerr'

at puts me In mind of when was q
boy" he said to Mrs. Davenport. "Ire-
member how sweetly and softly the
sound used to come to me, blown from
the gray old meeting house In wind
modulated melody across the fragrant
meadows. I can smell the new-mownl
hay almost when I hear 1t. / wish,
though, there were few meadows In;
between here to kind of take OF the
rough edges"
Later on he wished for an interven-
ing continent, and at last remon-
strated with the pastor. II told him.
he said, shat his bell was obsolete
a remnant of barbaric custom-of an
sge when people measured time by
unreliable tallow candles Of varying
thicknesses and sun dials and houfs
glasses-inexcusable in this latter day
of Waterbury watches and nickef
alarm clocks. He seemed almost per-
suaded, but with lamentable lack Of
judgment 1 added something about
people not needing bells to let them
know that a theatrical performance
was due, and then he froze. He said
not addicted to the higher criticism
or to instituting comparisons between
Divine service and vaudeville, and he
gave me some advice which suppose
I needed, but which didn't want"
Then Davenport sought out a suburb
where the boom had expired, and bur
dock, tall grass and sunfowers ran
riot between long lines of rusted street
lamps and pushed their way through
the zigzag crevices in the cement side
walk. The real estate agent, who sat
in the shade of his little sign-covere6
Office, said there was no church, but q
man like Davenport-a hustler-could
soon get one, for there were several
members of his denomination scattered
about the place, and there was not .
dog within half mile.
! Davenport was convinced Of the
truth of the latter assertion, for there
was no house with the exception OF
Phernetton's and the one that he
thought of renting. So he moved into
the orange villa with the scrollwork
cornices, and for a week It seemed
as though he had found the haven Of
rest his tired tympanum craved. Then
Phernetton began to play the horn.
Phernetton began feebly at first.
Then he gathered strength and reson-
snce and distinction of notes and ulta-
mately arranged the notes into REQ
ognizable tune, or rather part Of a tune

than two bars in any one air. By that

A French naturalist says that if the

poisons that could be manufactured for
