to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Ca

to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a constitu-

she shall lie in better place than this
and have her own headstone." Not that
| it mattered to Nancy.
We couldn't help laughing when we
found that the dear old thing had made

had left Jay all of her furniture and the
apparatus with which she had made her
hygienc face powder, and she had be-
queathed me her quaint old clothes and a
recipe. The recipe was contained in Il
letter. 1t said:
My Dearest Friend-I shall be dead when you
take this in your hand, and so shall not mind
having you laugh at The recipe which in
close was given me by dying woman, and now
a dying woman gives it to YOU. She told me that
she had had dream that this little formula
would bring mighty fortune to some one, but
she felt that the fortune not for me, but for
the to whom l should give it. For
nights l have dreamed that in your hands it
would become great instrument of healing and
bring you wealth beyond your dreams of riches
The prescription is for cleansing medicine
which will reach all the secretons of the system.
l enjon you by my love not to delay in your
manufacture of this thing. For all the happiness
you have brought into my life shall remain your
debtor beyond the grave. NANCY McMAHAN.
Jay was touched and amused, but from
the first moment l believed in the thing
l pawned my violin and got money with
which to make Il quantity of the med
icine. and | tried it on Nora Brandon
and Nora Brandon's protesting rela-
tives. l had the delight of knowing that
dull, aching heads became clear, that
heavy eyes grew bright, that dropping
spirits regained their tone and lost appe-
tites returned.
Then, in spite of my husbands pro-
teStation. l went in search of man with
money to invest. and l found one-a
young Irishman with Il patrimony and no
vocation. He was one of those singularly
alert young men who develop from his
race after two generations of America,
and he believed in advertising with
fanatical intensity. He caused packages
of ''McMahan's Tea" to be thrown at
nearly every door in the city.
''In short time said he, 1--WE shall
see that at least a package is left semi
annually at every door in the United
States"
1t may seem curious. but returns began
to come in almost Immediately. 1t seem
ed like sort of commercial miracle. In
short time Jay deserted his electrical
experiments. We needed him for an
overseer. having more people to manage
than we could 70 without his as
SiStance.
You know what has followed You
know that of all the great villas that pay
tribute to the loveliness of the Califor-
MAN climate there is none larger or
more beautiful than ours.
You know that in memory of dear Nan
cy McMahan 100 orphan children live
here in Il home on our ranch at our OK
pense and have the best instruction we
can procure for them. We are. indeed,
rich beyond orr dreams of wealth, as
Nancy prophesied. And we do not find
our wealth a burden. What we cannot
well invest or use we give away. If we
lose, we are not distressed.

l don't know why Jay and | were so

enough for TWO. He was an electrician

We We're happy-vc!y. Every morning
we congratulated each other on being
alive. We ate our breakfast of coffee
and toast merrily. taking turns in the
reading aloud from some book from the
public lbrary-our only paper was a
week. -and after that we worked until

went out to nearby boarding place to
dine.
sundays we went to the most beautiful
church in the city, and we were devoutly
thankful for many great blessings. But
we were poor, 1t is difficult to exag-
gerate our poverty. We used to sit be-
fore the dismal steam radiator with dear
old Nancy McMahan and wonder how
anybody could be so poor who was not
Mahan, like ourselves, subjected from
Mrs. Nora Brandon. She had room at
the end of the hall, and she compounded
a hygienic face powder which she sold
from door to door.
Nancy was altogether the most inter-
esting person we had ever met. She had
green eyes, so clear and luminous that it
seemed almost possible to see through
them. Her forehead was high and I'M
shaded by curlS of any sort. Indeed her
pale hair was brushed back relentlessly
from her brow. Her mouth was large
and kindly, her complexion white and
waXlike. She had been born in an or
phan asylum and her life had been one
of the stranGest vicissitudes. Her ad-
ventures were n never ending source of
delight, and to hear her tell them was
our one great entertainment. She had
heart that ached to love, and, not finding
anything better at hand, she consented to
love us.
We returned it in kind and got into the
way of sharing everything with Nancy.
We hardly enjoyed our own jokes till she
had given them the approval of her
laughter. She knew our hopes and eX-
pectations. and in our happy seltishness
we overlooked the fact that she had nei-

; DEACON NATHAN NEWTON !

1t was conceivable to Nathan Newton
that man could bear the still, small voice
of his Creator whispering within his
| heart; but he had never been able to
believe that his Creator could hear the
| still, small voice of man. SO when he
prayed-and he prayed much-he shouted
with great shoutings. There had been
times in the days of his youth when he
had led the camp meetings and had roar
ed in his pious orgy till the solemn hymn
of the pines and the oratorio of the lake
seemed inadequate to drown his voice.
In the course of time the deacon's only
child, Thomas, grew to mans estate,
and, taking to himself a wife, moved to
certain great city. The deacon, who
was a widOwer, moped about his desolate
home for a time and then settled up his
business, sold his town house, led his last
prayer meeting amid a lachrymose con-
gregation, and the church was left. with
out its chief pillar.
The first Sunday after arriving in the
city the family attended church. The
hymn which opened the service was one
with which Nathan Newton was ac
quainted, and he Joined in it vociferously,
creating part of his own which follow
ed the treble score an octave below the
written notes. 1t was harmonious, but
startling, and the color deepened in the
cheeks of Thomas wife.
In the prayer the deacon took the keen
est interest, regretting only the made
quacy of the suppliant's voice-for it
never occurred to him that anything save
vocal defect could cause such temper
ate meditation In one who was making
an appeal to Divinity. With an i'm
pulse born of pure friendliness he be-
came unusually emphatic in his vocal EN-
coura cement.
GLORY! Glory! Amen! Halleluliah.'
These CALCULATIONS rang out above the
heads of the scandalized audience. But
the silent disapproval of the multitude
did not touch the consciousness of the
one who was communing with the Most
High.
That afternoon two of the leading gen
tlemen of the church dropped in ON the
NewtonS in n casual way.
rs Deacon Newton going to remain
long with your they asked of Thomas.
"He is going to remain with me till the
day of his death. 1 hope and believe"
said Thomas stoutly. The gentlemen
hemmed and hawcd.
''He has the old fashioned earnestness
and demonstration" one of them remark
ed. Thomas saw his wfe's face turn
scarlet, but he was loyal to the old man.
whom he rcvercd.
Father is like the rest of u.s." he re-
piled. He wOrships according to his
own ideas. | suppose he thinks that is
one of the privileges of the American cit
izen.'
The gentlemen left. but three weeks
later, after the fcrvent old leader had
made the walls of the church resonant at
prayer meeting and class meeting and
Sunday service, committee waited upon

him.
They preferred their request respect
fully, but they were firm in their demand
that he conform to the custom and sit
silent in meeting. The old deacon arose
and faced his visitors. his rugged counte-
nance filled with righteous anger.
| Il have long made my song and wor-
SHIPPED with Il loud noise" he said. 81
| have cried ont in the days of my trou-
bic, and l have been heard; and in the
days of my joy l have not forgotten my
salutation. Shall | keep silence in
the presence of him who is my strong
tower? Nay; in my youth l did not de-
sert him. and in my old age l shall not
! hold my voice"
! But the committee was firm.
1T grieves us, Deacon Newton" said
! their spokesman, but so many of our
congregation have complained to us that
unless you comply with our request and
| keep silent in service it will be our I'M
happy duty to request that you do not
| worship with u.s.
The old man stared hard at the wall
for a moment. He, the old and tried
servant, turned from the house of his
Master, Big tears came to his eyes, but
he held them there and would not let
them fall. A serious and lofty dignity
enveloped him. He held out his hand to
his visitors one by one.
Brethren he said gently, 81 bid you
good day"
They went, rejoicing to be through
with their unwelcome task.
The next morning Thomas found his
father packing his belongings into an old
fashioned trunk.
'What does this mean?" he inquired.
"There's many noises in the town,
son Tommy said he, Exchanging and
a-clamoring all the day and half the
night, and nobody complains-not for the
footing nor the rumbling nor the roar.
For its all by way of serving Mammon,
you know. But for one voice a-shout-
ing for him who made us all they enter
protest. Thomas. They are offended.
1t hurts their nerves. For lions sake i
will not hold my peace-so / must CO."
But where, dear father?"
I've a cabin in the pine grove back of
the farm, Tommy, that the lessee amt

long ago and gave praise with all our
strength. The trees shout out their
praises, too, around about that spot, and
the waters. they roar of the goodness of
him who Embossed them from the bowels
of the earth. Now, don't you try to stop
me. Tommy. What l am doing is for
your happiness too"
! So the church of many proprieties
heard no more the shoutings and groan-
ings of Deacon Nathan Newton.-Chica-
go Tribune.
