supreme love for God controlling life?
Do you live every day as If it might be
the last you would have to live?"
James started. Was Mr.. Hardy out
of his mind? He had never heard him
talk like this before. The idea Of Mr..
Hardy caring about his religious char
acter in the event of his becoming a
son-in-law was an idea too remote for
occurrence. He could see, however,
that some very powerful change had
taken place in Mr.. Hardy's usual de-
meanor. His words also produced a
strong effect upon the young man. He
was like thousands Of young men
temperate, honest, industrious, free
from vices, strictly moral, but without
any decided religious faith.
"Am q Christian?" he asked him
self, echoing Mr.. Hardy's question.
No; he could not say that he was. He
had never said so to any one. He had,
in fact, never been confronted with the
question before. So he replied to Mr..
Hardy:
"No, sir; don't think l am what
would be called a Christian. AS for iv-
ing as if every day were to be my last
do you think that is possible, sir?"
Mr.. Hardy did not answer. He walk
ed along thoughtfully. In the course Of
the conversation they had reached the
corner where the young man turned
down to his office, and the two paused.
81 want to have another talk with
you," Mr.. Hardy said. To-day is Tues
day; say tomorrow evening. l want to
see your father also, and Mr.. Hardy
was on the point Of saying that he
wanted to ask the elder Caxton's for
giveness. but for some reason he stop
ped without doing so.
James exclaimed eagerly as Mr.. Har-
dy turned to go:
"Then you don't forbid my entertain
ing some hope Of your good will In the
matter Of my love for Clara?" He low
cred his voice and spoke very strongly.
"You don't forget your own youth and
the way In which you yourself began
your homer"
Mr.. Hardy answered never a word
to this appeal, but looked into the
young mans face with a gaze he did
not forget all day, then wrung his hand
and turned on his heel abruptly and
walked rapidly down the street.
James looked after him as he disap-
peared among the crowds Of people 60
ing to their business, and then turned
to his own tasks. But something In
him gave him hope. Another something
appealed all day to his inner nature,
and he could not shake off the impress
sion Of Mr.. Hardy's question, "Are you
q Christian?" And even when he went
home at night that question pursued
him more strenuously than any other
and would not give him peace.

RAsPBERRIEs AND TURNIPs. -Rasp.
berry is so called on account of its leaf,
which is covered with numerous small
prickles, resembling the edge of a file,
or rasp. 1 have eaten it in its nativity
on the summit of the mountains of the
Caribbean islands, where its size is
enormous and its flavor undiscovered.
The wild berry is tasteless, but under
cultivation becomes the most valued
of all the species of rubus. Turnips
come from India. The name is from
"turn" and "nep," words of ancient
origin meaning something. The to-
mato was known up to 1880 as a
"love APPLE" and regarded with sus-
picion. 1t originated in Spanish South
America, and, being introduced into
Italy from Morocco, was named
"pome del mori''-Moor's apple. The
French called it "pomme d'amour."-

Death of an Ancient Darkey.

Orangeburg Patriot: The Oldest
inhabitant of Orangeburg county, and
probably the oldest in the slate, died
last Wednesday night week ago at
his home near Branchville. He was
an old colored man named Sibe Joyner.
He was born in 1884, one year after
the treaty was signed recognizing
American independence, and was l5
years old when Washington died, and
is the only person in this country, so
far as we know, who has lived during
every presidential administration of
the American Republic. He lacked
but a few months of living in three
distinct centuries. The old man al
ways voted the Democratic ticket, and
was respected by his neighbors. He
was married several times and it is
said that he left torty.seven children
surviving him and legion of grand
and great-grandchildren. The above
facts were furnished by a gentleman
who lived near the old man.

A POPULAR NalsTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
md Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
Indigestion or in its chronic form. dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that il is
50 common many people neglect taking
proper treatment for what they consider
tTifiing stomach trouble, when. as a matter
of fact. indigestion lays the foundation for
many incura BILE diseases. No person with
a vigorous. healthy stomach will faH
victim TO consumption. Many kidney dis
cases and heart troubles date their begin
ming from poor digestion; thin. nervous
people are really so because their stomschs
are out OF gear; weary. ianguid, faded
out women owe their condition TO imper-
feet digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afhieted with weak digestion it is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be
cure Tor dyspepsia, as we'll as score OF
other troubles, when in fact as DR.. Wer-
thier says. there is but one genuine dys-
pepsia cure which is perfectly safe and
reliable. and moreover, this remedy is not
a patent medicine, but il is a scientific
combination OF pure pepsin free from
animal n2tter), vegetable essences. fruit
salts, and bisInuth. II is sold by drug
gists under name OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. No eNtraYagant claims are made
for them, but for indigestion or any stom-
ach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are far ahead Of any r.smedy yet diseov-
cred. They act on the food eaten, DO
dieting rs necessary, simply eat all the
y doiesOme food you want and these tab
.ets viii digest IT. A cure results, be
cause all the stomach needs is a ;est,
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by
doing the work Of digestion.

A SCHOOL FOR ACRoBATs.

training OF men who impern their lives

questions when he told where he lad

out injuring himself. Most Of the circus
acrObats and not a few Of the rough and
tumble comedians Of the stage who have
graduated from the ring. were reared aud

who get the knack OF the acrObatic feats
and these work in constant rivaly, each
trying TO excel the other.
