path of duty. Our homes and our fam.
lilies first, then do all we can in our
power for others. Making an effort to
bring the homes Of the present and the
coming generations nearer and nearer
perfection.
This labor Of love depends upon both
parents and each may have an especial
part to perform. A great many nice
things are written about woman max.
ing paradise of any place, and no
doubt the pen picture is more attrac-
tive than the object described. If the
husband provides the house with neces-
sary furnishings, he has done much
toward making the housekeeping sue
cess, and in D1ost cases the houseke keep-
ing instead Of being great burden will
be performed with pleasure.
There are many lines to study upon
this subject and no doubt the one lead
ing to self-government and correcting
ones own faults will do much more
toward keeping the home in order than
to be over thoughtful in correcting the
faults of others. This extract from the
Rev. Lyman Abbott applies to this
point: "If every wife who is trying to
cure her husband, and every husband
who is trying to cure his wife, would
stop the operation, and all the husbands
and wives would devote their energies
to curing themselves the homes would
be great deal happier than they are
to-day. read not long since of a
woman who had spent ten years in try
Ing to cure her husband of throwing his
hat and coat down Just anywhere
when he entered the home. He retort-
ed that he had spent the same length
Of time in trying to cure his wife Of the
habit of coming to the breakfast table
with her hair in crimpiug pins"
So much disorder is caused in the
housekeeping by this continued fault
finding. 1t touches every member in
the home and many heartache would
be avoided
.'If you knew that to- morrow,
Was bringing you sorrow.
The6loss OF the mother. the child or the wife,
You would make today sweet
With the fullness complete
OF the love that Is besti this troublesome life.
No word OF swift anger,
| No fault finding changer
Would break the peace of your happy estate,
Each heart you would bless
With q tender caress,
oh friend take the warning. ere yet It's to late.
| To-day with its dover,
OF moment and hour
Is here in your hands, but last day must dawn
| Make every day glad.
For you'll wish that you had
When the tale IS told and the last day is done.''

We take pleasure in announcing to
the public that we will hold colt show
ut Frank Matthew's barn on the above
date. The show will be for foals of 1900
sired by Red Prince, 1924. Three cash
premiums will be given as follows:
First $1,000, Second $500, and
Third $500.
Premiums will be awarded by three
CO mpetent and uninterested judges. To
al interested in good horses and espec-
tally parties owning Red Prince colts we
extend pressing invitation to attend

Who have scrofula taints in their

This disease, which frequently appears
in children, is greatly to be dreaded.
1t is most likely to affect the glands of
the neck, which become enlarged, eruI-
tions appear on the head and face, and
tile eyes are frequently affected. Upon
its first appearance, perhaps in slight

The Vampire Bat.

South America, especially Venezuela
Is the home of the vampire bat, that
horrible animal whose blood sucking
propeEsities are SO well known. In
Venezuela the vampire when caught is
often made the subject of an expert
ment that is as curious as it is cruel
though in connection with such loath-
some animal as this giant bat the cruel
ty is rather naturally lost sight of by
the people who have to suffer from its
ravages.
The vampire is captured in q thick
cloth. 1t is then taken out, and through
its two extended wings nails are driv-
en-, securing the animal to a door or a
wooden paling. A cigarette is then
lighted and placed in the bats mouth.
At once the animals eyes shine
strangely, and it begins to pun the
smoke in and out with frenzied gasps,
its actions being exactly those of the
most hardened smoker, keeping firm
hold of the cigarette tile while between
its sharp, deadly teeth. When the Gig
arctic Is nearly finished, blow orf>the
head puts an end to the animals ex-
istence.
The extraordinary part of the expert
ment lies in the fact that the bat does
not at once reject the cigarette, as he is
OF course at liberty to do. There are
many who affirm that the bat really
does enjoy the tobacco. The probabili-
ty Is that the animal is SO maddened
by fear and pain that he puffs away
unreasoningly and fiercely, his instinct
telling him that in the properties of the
tobacco lies oblivion.

AT Linton. Ind, Saturday the
miners in fifteen different mines
refused TO GO to work because
Bryan was scheduled to speak there
that day and they wished to hear
him. It was raining when his
train reached there, but he spoke
to 10. 900 people who stood in the
rain to hear the democratic leader
Equal enthusiasm was displayed at
the thirteen other places where he
spoke during the day. ALI this
enthusiasm is not meaningless, and
it does not mean that the people
are TO vote against the man whom
they are SO anxious to hear. Bryan
and Stevenson are growing in pop
niarity every day with the great
mass Of the people.

i WORD or CAUTION.

The Old saying that man, Who l.
naked can't give away his shirt, = Il only
another way of saying that you can't
give what you haven't got The fziau
can't give free medical advice, - on any
other kind Of medical advice who hasn't
got medical education and certificate
to the fact in the form of q diploma
And in this particular a woman has no
more privilege than a man. She can't
give medical advice without medical edu-
cation and medical knowledge.
The offer of free medical advice made
by DIR. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invaiids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N ", has been initiated
by so many, who without any medical
qualifications claim to give medical
advice" that word of caution is neces-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not ply
sician- If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors sc
that you may recognize them. II they
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is, just as
much difference in doctors as in artists
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these artists" gener-
ally paint copies of the works of great
artists like Millet. There was only one
MiIlet
There is only one Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, such as DR.. Pierce
presides over. Thousands of women
come or write to DIR. Pierce who. have
found no help at the hands Of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit DR.. Pierce. by letter, free. Such con-
situations are absolutely private. Each
and each answer is sent in a plain en-
velope, bearing no printing upon it.
In this way offensive questions and
repulsive examinations may be avoided.
