General Harrison's "Authority."

At the little hamlet of Richland, near
Rushville, lives the Rev. Nathan Nc
Dill, an interesting old Presbyterian
minister, who was pastor OF the u. L.
church there for 40 years. He loves
to tell jokes Of his college days and
is fond of relating the following, which
happened when General Harrison and
he were at Miami:
The occasion was joint meeting OF
the literary societies Of Miami and a
female seminary near by. Harrison
read an essay in which he mischiev-
ously used the expression, 1--WE pitch
in" At the close of the programme
the president Of the college arose. Aft
er making several remarks he offered
few good natured criticisms, among
which was one directed to Harrison.
1T is customary" said he, with side
long glance at the youth, when using
any classic quotation to give our au-
thority for the same" Harrison as
quick as a fash arose, pointed to his
roommate, McNutt, white headed
boyish looking fellow, near by, and
with all seriousness said, There's my
authority
The narrator Of this does not tell us
what then happened, but we may
imagine that the president of Miami
being unable to say more, took his seat
and waited for the laughter to subside

Dom pnuI,s Locomotives.

Twelve months ago the Dickson
Manufacturing company received an
order from the South African Repub-
lie for five locomotives which the Beers
had decided to add TO their war equip
ments. The five locomotives were
completed and boxed for shipment
when orders were received TO postpone
shipment until further orders. The
engines are now lying idle in Scranton
while the Beers are in need of locomo-
tives for their armored trains. 1t was
thought evidently when the order was
given that trouble might be met. and
directions were given when the en-
gines were completed TO take them TO
pieces and place the various parts in
boxes. which were to be addressed to a
firm in Durham, Natal Durham, how

The engines are constructed specially
for use on an armored train and are
modelled on the same lines as the loco

constructed that by placing bags OF
sand along the platforms on the sides

tected. They are compact and built

Of filtering the blood. And this means
that the foul impurities which would

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is the
Occasio,, IF Much ANXIETY TO All.


Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is a source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward TO baby's coming gives way to an
understandable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have TO be endured.
Women should hail with delight
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour OF
childbirth. "Mother's Friend"-is a
scientific liniment--and il used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety TO both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
uarative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman il not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience OF
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life--the approach
and elimination Of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise
for it gave them help and hope II
their most trying hour and wher
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend" The
little book, "Before Baby is Born,
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest ant
benefit to all expectant mothers, ant
