The facts of the selection Of ,bo

all and more money than bad 10 tbe
credit of this fund.
The committee then visited Front
Royal on April q to select a size T5s
only site offered Us by the Mayor If
Front Royal was at the intersection of
streets. In the middle OF the intersac-
ton of these streets stands large fire
plug. We had to move this lur at
our own cost. To have moved .bjs
plug we were all opposed. as there
would have been on uncertainty q. n
the cost.
A triangular lot was offered us st q
cost of $50 to 5000 without any i'm.
provements whatever.
The committee then visited the .ite
offered by the ladies of the Warren
Memorial Association. This site was
offered US free Of any COS whatever
and the association to look after and
care for tha rnOuup1ant
The committee were unanimous In
selecting the site offered by the ladies'
of the Warren Memorial Association.
To have selected any other site Than
the QUE selected the committee would
have been put to the trouble to raise an
additional amount OF money. This they
did not feel called upon to DO, or to 20
in debt.
If those that are opposed to the site
selected and wanted change, WHY
didn't they offer us something better
We accepted the site offered lis BIZ the
ladies of the Women's Memorial Assc-
citation. and I, for one, did not feel j,
would be the correct thing TO do-ba.k
down after accepting heir offer Ger.
tainly not until something was offered
US better than The sits selected.
The ladies OF the WomeO's Memorial
Association have looked after the graves
of our comrades buried in the cemetery
for all these many years, and il any
favors are to be given ] think they
should have them.

SMITHERS' RETORT.

boarding House.
Mr.. Smithers is a somewhat fastidious
young man who is looking for a new board
ing place. Smithers can't abide the regula-
tion boarding house, and always tries TO live
with private family. He is now convinced
that an "ad." which solicits boarders for
nice private family" is often a snare for a
stuify double fiat, inhabited by one small
family and "a boarders.
Smithers called one day last week at

The lily is the queen of Bible flowers.
The rose may have disputed her throne

rose originally had only five petals. Ii

lily mentioned only twice the rose.
The rose may now have wider empire,
but the lily reigned in the time of

ROLLING IN A BARREL.


''There is something barbaric about
lynching, as most people will agree" said
the man with the broken nose, but
can easily name two worse things One is
rolling a man around in barrel, and the
other is coat of tar and feathers. In my
foolish young days I arrived at a town
in southern Indiana, to find the people ex-
cited over several arrests for robbery. A
family named Black, consisting of man
and wife and a grown-up son, had been
caught and made to confess to many
thefts. Instead of putting them trial,
the people had determined to apply tar
and feathers and walk EN- out of town

woman constituted myself her champion n
and declared they must walk over my
dead body first. For five minutes 1 was
a hero. Then about dozen men grabbed
me and hustled me into room, and after
the Blacks had been disposed of accord
ing to programme, 1 was brought out for
punishment Plenty of tar and feathers
were left, but the crowd wanted a
change. and it was decided that should
have the barrel exercise. They got out
and unheaded 3. big cider barrel, dropped
me into it and replaced the head and
then all was ready. 1 was inclined to look
upon the proceedings with contempt 1

I had idea of the sensations. They

street, and it ehad not rolled over more
than twenty times when 1 was sick of

Il dinly remember that after they
got tired of the football work in the
street they rolled the barrel up a long hill

THE MINISTER'S S COFFEE
Hurt Him Worse Than the Devil Did.


''I used the old-fashioned coffee from
my babyhood, and like many others,
thought I could not live without it. Was
in the army four years during the Re

active work of the ministry for more
than year at a time, suffering terribly
from stomach and intestinal troubles
and torpid liver, with the consequent
nervous headache and prostration lum-
bago and rheumatism.
-Four years ago, being confined to
bed with these troubles and liberation
of the liver, my physician positively
forbade the use of coffee and brought
me some Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
Since that time, myself and family have
used no other coffee. All my intestinal
trouble has been greatly relieved, and
I no longer suffer from rheumatism and
very little from torpid liver or bilious
ness
Il am fully convinced that coffee is
very largely responsible for the greater
part of all stomach, intestinal and liver
