upon the fact that half baked partisan,

with democrats, could not fail TO come
out OF the ordeal full fledged and

Later onI hope to know that William
Mckinley is again the choice of the
American people. l don't know who
my opponent is to be, but when the

meet any man the enemy can send out,
although l do not claim to be an orator.
Republicans should send for political
literature, if not sufficiently familiar
with public affairs.
There is no doubt the democrats will
attempt to make much out of Porto
Rico, free silver, anti expansion, etc..
but they will never go back TO power
unless they get something better than
these cries. During the days of "a,
20 and '96 under democratic rule, |
lost fortune, made by honest effort.
Every honest business man felt the de-
probation of property and financial de-
preston in those years. Since that
time | am glad to say have got back
what l lost, and do not want to 90
back to the days of disaster. And do
not think the country does.''
"rhe blood is the life." Science has
never gone beyond that simple statement of
scripture. But it has Illuminated that
statement and given 1t meaning ever
broadening with the increasing breadth of
knowledge. When the blood is bad" or i'm
pure 1t Is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also clouded,
the mind and judgment are affected, and
many an evil deed or impure thought may
be directly traced to the impurity of the
blood. No one can be we'll balanced in
mind and body whose blood is impure No
one can have wholesome and pure life I'M
less the blood is pure. Foul blood can be
made pure by the use of Dr. Pierce's Col
den Medical Discovery. When the blood is
pure, body and brain are alike healthy and
life becomes daily happiness.

SCOTTISH CHRISTMAS.
Festival Not So Popular as In Some
Countries.

Festival Not So Popular as In Some
Countries.
In Scotland they wish one another "A
merry Christmas" like the rest of
Christendom. and exchange gifts, but
the festival of the Nativity has not
been popular among the Scottish peo-
pie. at least since the reformation says
the Chicago Record. 1t Is only in re-
cent years that Christmas has begun to
be regarded as holiday to be observed
with religious and social rites. The
winter festivities In Scotland in the
olden time consumed fully six weeks
before the sun entered Capricorn and
turned again with light giving power
in its apparent course.
The advent of the winter was mark
ed by the Halloween celebration This
was for many years one of the most
distinctive and widely observed of
Scottish festivals. especially among the
rural residents, who practiced with
great fidelity divers supersttious rites
associated with it. But the picturesque
side of the festival Is now thing of
the past The Yule festival, remnant
of the old pagan rites paid to the great
Scandinavian god Thor, is now repre-
scented by the Christmas roast turkey
and plum pudding. which have found
their way from the south across the
border and during the Christmas fort
night much charming hospitality Is
dispensed in house and hall. A happy
spirit is abroad. and rich and poor are
more or less affected by it.
