Ransnn's Plaster Ia PAINS MaSiar.)

For coughs and colds Benson's Porous
Plasters are an incomparably better rem
edy than any other-external or internal.
Their medicinal properties enter the skin
and 90 straight to the seat Of the disease.
They relieve and cure a ''seated" cold
without disturbing the system Or upsetting
the stomach. Cough mixtures often nau-
seate. Benson's Plasters are medicinal in
the highest degree, and quickest to act.
Placed on the chest or back or on both
ct once in serious cases, the good effect is
feltimmediately. The congestion yields, the
cough abates and the breathing improves.
Lung or bronchial affections or kidney
disease, are cured with the least possible
suffering and loss of time.
Benson's Plasters are immeasurably su-
perior to Belladonna, Strengthening, Cap
sicum or any other combination in plaster
form. They are also preferable to ONT
ments, liniments and salves.
Benson's Plasters have received ffty,f0e
highest Awards over all competitors; and
more than 5000 physicians and druggists
have declared them to be one of the few
trustworthy household remedies. For sale
by all druggists, or we will prepay postage
on any number ordered in the United
States on receipt of 25c. each.
Be sure you get the genuine. Accept no
imitation or substitute.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
walking with God implies talking
with God. You would not call a man
your companion if you never spoke to
him. That is a good old phrase, Our
walk and conversation
when two walk together, one is al
ways the leader, the other the follower.
There is no walking with God if you
want to choose the way"
Getting near to Christ is not all on our
own side; as we draw near to him, he
also draws near to us. He is even more
willing to receive us than we are to come
unto him, and all are heartily welcome
with him.
SELECTIONS.
If through the communication of the
Holy Spirit the life of Christ is constant
ly impaired to us, that life will prevail in
us.
In proportion to the closeness of our
abiding in him will be the completeness
of our deliverance from sinning.-A. J..
Gordon, D. D.
To be public representative of Christ
ianity is a mockery and hypocrisy unless
it is accompanied with growing faith in
Jesus and fellowship with him. Those
who teach must not only have learned,
but they must 60 on learning. The
power of public testimony depends on
intimacy with Jesus in secret.
We sometimes forget that true near
ness to God is moral and spiritual
nearness There were those in
the time of Christ who were near him,
but were not helped by him. "The null.
titude throng thee, and press thee, and
sayest thou, Who touched me?" said
Peter once; but only one poor woman
was near in her sense of need.
Spiritual distances are not thus meas
ured.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Holy Ghost, with light divine.
Take time to be holy
AS lives the flower within the seed.
Blessed Saviour, ever nearer.
Nearer, my God, to thee.
o love to talk with Jesus.

Here and There.

A Northerner who recently visited West
ern Florida reports that the negroes of
that section of the state are unani-
nous in their opposition to it's proposed
annexation to Alabama. They say that
they do not like the climate of Alabama,
which they believe to be unhealthful, and
they seem to believe that if Western Flor
ida should be annexed to the state which
it borders marked change of climate
would ensue.
The following letter, written by a
woman in Kansas, has been received by
the Philadelphia Police Department.
"Chief Police, will you see the woman
whose name is in the inclosed advertise
ment, will settle with her for $500. She

move hair from the face. sent her one

she will give you $500 will take it and

"lt was dry season in China" writes
a Peking correspondent of the Chicago
Times Herald "The viceroy, Earl III
Hung Chang, was calling on the Ameri-
can minister, Mr. Conger, and he spoke
of the weather. Yes, said Mr.. Conger,
it seems to be dry everywhere. 1t is dry
in my country, too. read in one of our
newspapers the other day that in many
places in the West the people are praying
for rain What said the earl, do your
people pray to their God for rain?' oh,
yes, said the minister, they often pray
for rain And does their God send it
when they pray for it" asked the earl.
Yes, sometimes their prayers are an
swered, and sometimes they are not
All the same like Chinese joss, hey p said

Augustus B. Wylde, in his Modern
Abyssinia," describes an interesting Gus
tom observed at YeUu, by which a long
engagement is brought to a happy end
ing The betrothed pair go secretly to
the outskirts of village. The man
hides himself, and the girl shrieks. The
first man who comes to her rescue is
speared by her sweetheart. The couple
may then go home and be married, for
moral sentiment demands that every
bridegroom should have killed his man.

Move Made to Get other Government
Lands Opened to Settlers.
Iawton. 1. T., Aug. "a movement
has been started here by the homeseek-
ers who lost to have the government
open up the land which was set aside in
the Lawton district before the opening.
At q meeting Of 100 or more Of them it
was decided to petition the interior de-
partment at once to take such action.
This land embraces, OBJ, 800 acres or
about 1880 quarter sections The land
was held in reserve, it is believed, be-
cause the government anticipated the
cattlemen who had all OF the Kiowa-
Commanche country leased for pastures
would not be able TO find pastures IN
Texas or other cattle grazing sections
readily. If the cattlemen can round up
their cattle and get them to the govern
ment reservations this fall. the homo
seekers argue they can find pastures
some where else by next spring. The
homeseekers are willing to buy the land
outright from the governments.
