was removing the small table to the
dining room.
"Did your" asked Philip, because he
could not think Of anything wiser to

ply. He was so silent after saying this
one word that Philip did what he new
er was In the habit Of doing. He al
ways shrank back sensitively from
asking for an opinion Of his preaching
from any one except his wife. But now
he could not help saying:
"What did you think Of it?
ut was one Of the best sermons l
ever heard. But somehow 1t did not
sound sincere"
"Whatw exclaimed Philip almost an
grily. If there was one thing he felt
sure about. it was the sincerity OF his
preaching. Then he checked his feel
ing as he thought how foolish 1t would
be to get angry at passing tramp
who was probably little out OF bis
mind. Yet the mans remark had
strange power over him. He tried to
shake It off as he looked harder at
him. The man looked over at Philip
and repeated gravely. shaking his head.

Mrs. Strong came back into the room.
and Philip motioned her to sit down
iear him while he said. And what
makes you think was not sincere"
"You said the age in which we lived
demanded that people live In far SIM

"Yes, that Is what | said. | believe
1t, too" replied Philip. clasping his
hands over his knee and gazing at his
singular guest with earnestness. The
mans thick white hair glistened In the
open freight like spun glass.

approve Of people spending money for
flowers, food and dress on those who

"Your idea. Just so. And yet we
have had here in this little lunch, or,
as you called it. bite Of something.
three different kinds Of meat. two kinds
Of bread. hothouse grapes and the rich
est kind of milk"
The man said all this in the quietest,
calmest manner possible. and Philip
stared at him, more assured than ever
that he was little crazy. Mrs. Strong
looked amused and said. You seemed
to enjoy the lunch pretty we'll" THE
man had eaten with a zest that was

Philip started as If he had suddenly

words which he had not before heard
in them.

slight laugh.
The man looked straight at PhiliI
and replied slowly, Yes. for the time:

A sudden silence fell on the group ol
three in the parlor Of the parsonage

Errff.h-Mnde Mummy Cloth.

Sir william Bailey, head Of the well
known Albion works; at Stafford, told g
good story the other day. A certain
Manchester merchant saw mummy in
Egypt and brought away, a portion OF
the mummy cloth. This was handed to
a buyer of a large Manchester ware
house. who was asked If he could tell
where IT was woven. After examining
it carefully with his glass, he said he
thought he could put his finger on the
mill where it was produced if he could
borrow the piece for a few days. After
wards he reported that it was mads.

THE APRICOT CUTTERS.

Fruit Valley.

Striking Seems I'm q California
Fruit Valley.
There is an upland valley In California
where at certain season of the year the
bare ground is golden as far as the eye
can sea blaze of yellow and tawny col
or like that of vast field of peoples.
But this yellow carpet is composed not
of flowers, but of apricots drying The
valley, which is so high in the mountains
and so bare that almost no dew falls
there, is the focus of the apricot harvest
ers for a score of miles about. For all
but a few weeks during the year the
place is lonely and quiet. Then of sud-
den a small army invades tia polyglot
crew of laborers, Mexicans, Swedes, Chi
nese A village of tents and huts springs
up. Flat cars run all day up and down
the mountain, bringing the ripe apricots.
And these are slid on trays into the long
sheds where the people stand at work
men, women and children, each with
tag bearing a number about the neck,
and a sharp knife in the hand A single
turn of this knife by a practical hand
halves the apricot and drop the stone on
the ground, while the fruit falls into
second tray When this is filed it is slid
out into the open, checked of to the
workman's credit and set on the ground
to help fill up another of the endless rows.
z If it is hot out there where the indigo
sky burns in fierce rivalry Of color with
the spreading orange, it is hotter IN the
sheds, and the smell of the apricots and
of the piles of stones is overpowefing.
The workpeople wear as few clothes as
allowed; their necks are bare and their
sleeves rolled to the shoulder. The white,
thick muscled arm of Scandinavian la
borer moves in unison with the thin,
swarthy, hairy arm of the Mexican next
him; next is an arm shrunk 10 yellow

Of government, Mr.. Bryan would give

AN OLD ADAGE

ID UNS like this: Marry in haste and
ICrepent at your leisure" Now gen
tie reader" it Is not my purpose to
write homily on the subject of mat
rimony, but to apply the above quoted
adage to Life Insurance. I will not at
tempt to convince you Of the value OF
life insurance, but will take it for
granted that you are sensible, busi-
ness man and have already been con-
vinced. I will make the broad and dog
matte statement that three out Of four
who have insured their lives do not
know what kind of a contract they
have or what the conditions set forth in
their policies are. / know dozens OF
men for instance, who thought they
had policies guaranteed to be paid up
in 20 years, who now know that they
have only ordinary life contracts-con-
tracts on which they must pay as long
as they live. This condition is due to
the fact that the agent who wrote their
applications sold them one thing and
delivered another. The Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Co., would discharge an
agent guilty of such deception. 1t is an
honorable company and guards its rep
utation with Jealous care. 1t is, with
out exception, the most economically
managed company in the world. 1t
writes the plainest, simplest, most cas-
lily understood contracts of any COM
pany, and pays dividends, and larger
ones than any other company, annual
ly. I can prove all the above claims
and will take. pleasure in doing so If
you are interested. You will certainly
repent if you take life insurance in
some other company than the Mutual
Benefit, provided you afterwards learn
what it had to offer.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh.

THE QUESTION
is SETTLED.

THE question as to which Is the
l. BEST turning polw in the world, has
long since been settled by the farmers
in favor Of the genuine OLIVER. The
manufacturers Of all other plows have
also concurred. They have shown this
in two ways. First: BY trying to imi-
tate the Oliver; and second, by claim
ing that theirs is "just as good" Not
withstanding the fact that there are
not less than twenty other concerns
that claim to manufacture chilled
plows, 80 per cent. Of all the chilled
plows sold in the world are OLIVERS.
Is further comment necessary? We
carry the GENUINE in stock. We also
carry a full line Of GENUINE OLIVER
repairs. Some other dealers In this
section carry so-called Oliver repairs.
The goods are bogus, and as rule,
will not fit, and positively will not wear
like the genuine. The price Of the gen.
nine has recentlv heen reduced
