by far the more exasperating. Some
patience can be exercised in the case oil
the shame faced party who shuiiies INTO an
office and begs that his name be eliminated
from the report of some riotous proceed
ings lest his mother-in.law's composure be
disturbed thereby. He appears to be
filed with solicitude for that estimaple
lady and anxious to secure at all costs her
continued peace of mind. Such thoughl-
fulness and care for another's happiness is
too amiable trait to go unrewarded' ana
it is great temptation occasionally to take
his unselfsh request into consideration
But when housekeeping parsonage IN
commanding tone of voice orders that no
items, no matter how inoffensive, In which
his name appears shall be published IN a
paper, it sometimes seems as though said
parsonage was taking himself little too
seriously, especially if he has no reason 10
bring forward in support OF his command
except the absurd within that she hates to
see his name in print" Such feeling Is
unnatural and indicates an amount OF van
ity way above normal The healthy
minded citizen is not painfully aVerse to
having his doings chronicled along with
those of other people, and the sight OF his
honest name in print causes no sudden
rise in temperature or serious disarrange-
ment of the nervous system. Beng OF
kindly nature and well-disposed toward all
the world, he is willing, like the candidate
ing politician, to leave himself in the hands
of his friends with no fear of their striving
to pierce the bubble of his self-conceit by
maliciously-worded item. Consequently
if paragraph concerning him happens to
appear, he does not give it microscopic
examination and then insist upon knowing
from Just what source the information was
obtained, lest some Of his affectionate
neighbors may be trying to get even with
him.

the following letter to DR.. Hartman re-

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world,
Your mothers and grandmothers never
thought of using anything else for Indiges,,
ton or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regulate the
action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull AID bad with
h headaches and other scbes. You only need
d few doses of Greene's August Flower, IN
liquid form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you. Sam

The shy, retiring individuals who hate to
re their names in print form certain per
cent of every community and can be di-
vided into at least two classes-those who
can not reasonably expect anything cred
liable to be said of them, and those who
hold their own personalities in such high
esteem that they simply can not bear to
see their august cognomens in connection
with trivial affairs, or matters of less than
national Importance. The latter class is

The Brooklyn Eagle is credited with at
tempting to start movement to pay Sun
day school teachers salary as well as the
minister and members Of the choir. Ii the
laborer is worthy of his hire, the Sunday
school teacher certainly deserves a tar
recompense for the amount of time and
effort expended in striving to interest and
instruct a row of squirming youngsters
who think they are doing her favor when
they consent to become members OF her
class and permit her to turn the day OF rest
into day of toll for their especial benefit.
They expect her to pay them, rather, for
suffering her to instruct them free of charge,
by Christmas and Easter presents and an
occasional party during the year, land if she
fails to come up to their expectations they
bring her to reason by staying away from
her class for longer or shorter time.
However. this is not altogether a CONNER
cial age, and the average Sunday school
teacher would feel amply repaid if once in
a while her self-denial and .painstaking
work were gratefully recognized by the
parents if not by the children.
