The Speer Wine Company.
Passaic N. J.,

have their vineyards stocked of the
same grape, the only vim eyard of
the kind in this country, the vines
were imported and planted here
over forty years ago. The Specr
Port wine and Burgundy arc now
regarded the finest in the world,
their rich, full body and high
character is unexcelled. In
valids, weakly persons, especially
females, and the aged are made
strong and vigorous by its use, as
a medicinal wine it has no equal;
as family wine it has no super
ior. First class physicians all over
the country, here and in Europe,
who have tried them recommend
them as the best.
A close study by physicians on
the effect of different brands of
wines on the system convinces
them of the superiority of the Speer
Passaic wines for their patients.

SHORT SERMONS.

For it's exercise or manifestation

Better very little real faith straight
from the heart than vast amount OF
vague belief.-Rev. D. &. Garrett
A secret OF blessedness In work Is
the conviction that We are doing the
work that God wishes us to do.-Rev.
R. J. Kent.
The Bible exhorts us to that patient
continuance in we'll doing that is nec'
essary to the building OF Christ-like
character.-Rev. J. r. Shannon.
Progress is not blind, and now, more
than ever, the evolution of the race
should be guided by intelligent fore
sieht.-Rev. G. D. Smith.
With the right conception OF mans
being here, not for happiness but for
worthiness, suffering itself Is an ange'
in disguise.-Rev. Ira Billman.
All human law is based on the con
viction that the punishment should 1T

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

There Is always compensation. Our
angels go out that our archangels may
come in.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable.
1t is poor wit who lives by borrow
ing the words, decisions, mein, inven-
tons and actions of others.
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over the valuable parts of man, and
fix our attentions on his infirmities.
Virtue Will catch as we'll as vice by
contact; and the public stock of hon.
est, manly principle will daily accumu-
late.
A greater value should be set on
having received instructive and useful
lessons than of possessing great store
of wealth; for the latter is transitory
good, the former is durable.
There Is scarcely a generalization
for one sex which does not apply equal
ly to the other, so perfectly alike IN
nature are men and women. The dif'
ference ie only in circumstances.

Supplles In PhillDnlnes.


Handling rapidly large quantities Of
supplies is, therefore, a very important
part of military duties. A steady pro-
cession Of government transports hur-
ry across the Pacific loaded with neces.
stiles for the troops. When the sun
plies reach Manila, they must be hurs
ried over the island of Luzon. ManH
men are required for this work, buo
men cannot be spared from the firing
lines or garrison duty. Besides, the
handling Of supplies is not very digni-
ded or pleasant work for the American
soldier. The Chinese coolies have
therefore been employed for this labor,
and very hard working and useful
little fellows they are, too. Stripped
to the scantiest attire possible, they
put their shoulders to heavy bundles
and, busy as ants, make up in numbers
what they lack In size.
