THE BRAVERY OF WOMAN

Was grandly shown by Mrs. John
Dowling of Butler, Pa, in a three
years struggle with a malignant
stomach trouble that caused dis
tressing attacks of nausea and in
digestion. All remedies failed to
relieve her until ske tried Electric
Bitters. After taking it two
months, she wrote: 81 am now
wholly cured and can eat anything.
1t is truly a grand tonic for the
whole system, as I gained in weight
and feel much stronger since using
it." 1t aids digestion, cures dys-
pepsia, improves appetite, gives
new life. Only soc. Guaranteed

Senator Chaupcey NJ. Depew re-
Gently declared: "Twenty-five
years ago 1 knew every man,
woman and child in Peekskill. 1t
has been my study to mark boys
who started in every grade of life
to see what has become of them.
1t is remarkable that every one of
those who drank is dead; not one
living of my own age. Barring a
few WHO were taken off by sickness,
every one that proved a wreck and
wrecked his family did it from rum,
and no other cause. Of those who
were church going people, steady
and industrious, every single one
of them, without an exception,
owns the house in which he lives. "

Guards, does not know how to sur

Christmas of 1900.

The year has rolled around, too swift
ly 1t may be but surely, and the last
Christmas of this century is upon US
with its good cheer, the merry greeting
of friends and the observance of time
honored custom, the gathering of fami-
lies aud the exchange OF gifts. Year by
year the custom becomes stronger and
more generally observed until now 1t
would seem all Christendom in some
form, in church or in the home, publicly
or privately observe the birthday OF
Christ, the Savior of the world.
The pleasing fiction of "Santa Clans
or "Cris Crngle" comes close to reality
with the little ones and is means of Joy
and gladness in thousands of households
In many countries. The day is pre- en-
inently children's day and untoward
events and unfavorable circumstances
are generally, for the time, forgotten
in the happiness of the occasion.
Grim poverty. and want, however.
stalk athwart the pathway to enjoy
ment OF too many households, and some
have not the wherewithal TO tittingly
observe the day. 1t is hard to be happy
under such conditions and the prosper
Gus should bear in mind the fact that it
is blessed to give as well as to receive.
The sick and unfortunate are always
with us and genuine gladness comes to
the hearts of those who minister 10 them.
A merry Christmas TO all.

many ard honored by all who knew him.

one of the charter members of the

home and in the neighborhood in which
he lived. During his failing years he
WAS most tenderly and lovingly cared

Maine Congressman are in the front of
the fight for an apportionment bill that
shall give Maine its present number OF
congressman. Hopkins, the chairman of
the census committee of the House, has
offered bill which keeps the number of
members in that body at its present
number, fixing the population for each
member at something over 200, 900.
This would cause loss of one each to
Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska,
Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and n
gain of one each TO Louisiana, Minnesota,
New Jersey, New York and Wes'
Virginia two, Texas. Mr.. Burleigh OF
this district has presented bill which
provides for an increase of the number
of congressman to 3S7, thereby retaining
the present number of members of the
House from this and some other states
and increasing the number in others.
These bills were both referred to the COM
mittee on census of which Mr.. Burleigh
is a member and there the fight
came up first. Senator Hale is also n
member Of the census committee. Our
congressman can hook up strong team,
will put up big fight, and,' we trust,
will win.
