will be developed and the cherac-

be strengthened; that love of the
beautiful will be impaired which
will last through life, and manifest
itself in the homes which these
pupils shall build in future years.
The Youth Companion believes
that this work of adorning the
grounds of rural school houses is
one which will exercise an impor-
tsnt and lasting influence for the
good of the national life.
From almost every rural school
have gone forth into the world
neh and women who have won
success in life. We are very sure
that many Of these, if they were
made acquainted with your plans,
would be glad to share with the
pupils of to-day in the honor and

Easter Offerings.

There is nothing 80 touches the
hearts of the suffering than that
they are remembered on festival
days. On such occasions those
who are stricken down by illness
and unable to participate in the
joys with their more fortunate
brethren, recognize in a friendly
visit or an act of kindness a gift
more precious than brilliants, for
it stimulates them with joy and a
feeling of happiness beyond the
burst of song.
On Easter Sunday, their esteem
ed and helpful friend, Rev. G.
Turner, with his usual loyalty, de-
votion and Christian spirit OF
doing good when and where the
opportunity presents itself, visited

the patients a most bountiful sup

cakes of various kinds.

Youths Companion.
Rural school houses frequently
stand, small and weather-beaten,

five or fifty years ago, although
they have a flag above them now,
which was not there when the men
of to-day were children.
How familiar the grounds about

The Fargo papers contribute
some very interesting gossip to
history in the case of Captain Sigs-

the captain was reading over some

his wife had given him ten months
before to mail-and just then came

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
any thing else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at I. H.
