all things according to their true yalue'

sons Of men: 1.-THE fear of the Lord

not incompatible. If we estimate all
things according to their true value, we
can not fail to put God foremost in our
thoughts, because by reason of what He
Is and what He does. He is and ought
to be more to us than any other being or
substance. The fear of the Lord-that is
pre-eminently wisdom because it places
the highest value upon that which is
highest and best in the universe Rut
not less is 1t wisdom to place just valu-
alton upon other things which in the
course of life invite our attention. Saws
one of the old Puritan divines CDR Isaac
Barrows): Wisdom instructs us to ex-
anime, compare, and rightly value the OBJ
1ects that court our affections and chaI-
lenge our care; and thereby regulates
orr passions and moderates our endeay-
ors, begetting a pleasant serenity and
peaceahle tranquility of mind This
serenity and tranquility of mind tends to
iengthen life, just as worry and frettins
tend to shorten it; so that 1t is no mere
figure of speech to say of wisdom;
Length of days is in her right hand,
and in her left, riches and honor Her
ways are ways of pleasantness and all
her paths are peace"

DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Ex-
aminer of U. S. Treasury Department,
graduate of Columbia College, and who
served three years at West Point, has
the following to say of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from your
wonderful remedy. One short month has
brought forth vast change and now
consider myself well man after months
of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna
will cure you."
Catarrh is a systemic disease, cur
able only by systemic treatment. A
remedy that cures catarrh must aim
directly at the depressed nerve centers.
This is what Peruna does. Peruna
Immediately invigorates the nerve
centers which give vitality to the mu-
cous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanent
ly cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated. Peruna is not a guess nor an
experimental is an absolute scient1-
fic certainty. Peruna has no substi-
tutes-no rivals. Insist on having Pc
runa.
A free book written by DR.. Hartman,
on the subject of catarrh in its different
phases and stages, will be sent free

MADE HIM BEAT A RETREAT.

Incident in the Career of Noted
Literary Clergyman.
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, whose
"Recollections Of Missionary in the
Great Vest has been so favorably re-
ceived, has overlooked one incident in
his career that at the time made him
the mosttalked-of man in Denver. 1t
occurred decade or more ago, before
MI. Brady's literary efforts had made
his name SO generally known as it is
at present. He was then the rector Of
one OF Denver's fashionable churches.
Certain of the young ladies Of his con-
gregation, in the interest of raising
funds for some pious purpose, hit upon
the plan of presenting a comic opera.
The exigencies Of it's presentation ne
cessitated most noticeable shortening
of the skirts of the ladies Of the chorus.
Their devotion to the cause enabled
them to bear up under that ordealand
for some of them it was an ordeal in
more senses than one-and after elab-
crate preparations and rehearsals in
Vulnerable the piece was produced in
one of the local theaters. Rev. Mr..
BradH was there, Of course. But he
had hardly settled himself in his seat
after the curtain arose before the young
ladies Of his congregations Sunday
school teachers and choir singers and
what notified before his astonished
gaze in garb that lef as little to the
imagination in certain respects as the
display in a Sosier's show window.
The now Spular writer stayed long
enough only to reassure himself as to
the correctness of his vision and then
stalked gramdly out of the place.
The uproar that followed-the ladies
belonged to Denver's most exclusive
set-threatened for time to disrupt
the church and filed the newspapers
fer days with frantic headlines. But
Rev. Mr.. Brady stood by his guns and
neither threats nor vituperation ever
made him retreat from the position he
had assumed in the face Of that hosiery
display.

Survived the Battles

Among the multitude Of heroic men
in the civil war, few survivors Of
those perilous adventures, extraordi-
nary labors, privations and trials in
cidental to army life, have not felt
the ill-effect of those days Of service.

canoe, Ind, an old soldier of the 73d
Indiana Regiment, in speaking of his
experience says: "For several months
about one year and half ago, no.
ticed after getting up in the morning
an annoying stiffness in my left arm
and leg. After had walked around
some, this did not bother me. But
last May I attempted to get out of
bed one morning and found something
was unusually wrong with me. 1t was
after considerable effort that I sue
ceeded in getting out Of bed, but
fell to the floor as son as I attempted
to stand. I managed to get up and
walk across the room but fell again,
this time unconscious.
"My folks were away from home at
the time and as soon as I recovered
sufficiently I went and consulted a
physician. He told me that had had
stroke of paralysis.
"The only medicine he gave me was
a bottle of linament to rub on the
parts affected. I received no benefit
whatever from this, and became DIS
couraged. The doctor told me that
nothing would help me and that
would soon have another stroke and
probably die from the effect.
"Soon after this I read of Mr..
Shepard, grain dealer at Indianap-
oils, who had stroke of paralysis
completely losing control of himself
from his hips down, and how he had
received great benefit from five or six
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. I decided to try these
pills and after taking the first box
felt greatly benefited.

boxes since then and I have been i'm
proving steadily and now have almost
perfect use of my arm and leg. When
began taking these pills had almost
lost the use of my entire left side; one
corner of my mouth was drawn down
and my left arm had become almost
two inches smaller than it's former size
but these deformities have now en-
tirely disappeared.
"I have also been troubled with pal
laiion of the heart but am now en-
tirely cured of the ailment. I know OF
many others who have received great
benefit from these pills. My general
health is better today than it has been
for years, and I ascribe this all to DR..

I can. recommend their great merit

He Was slow.

Lincoln used to be fond of telling a
story Of a lawyer in a western town
who desired the nomination for county
judge. On the morning preceding the
evening OH which the county conven-
ton was to meet he applied to the liv-
cry stable keeper in his village for a
horse and buggy in which to drive to
the county town, 16 miles distant,
where the convention was to be held.
"Give me the best and the fastest
horse you have, Sam," said he, $50 that
I will have time to go around and see
the boys before the convention comes
in"
The liveryman, however, was sup
porting a rival candidate and gave the
lawyer horse that outwardly appear
ed perfect, but which broke down en-
tirely before half the journey was COM
pleted, SO that when the candidate ar
rived the convention had adjourned
and his rival had been nominated.
On his return to the stable late the
following afternoon, knowing that it
was useless to resent the trick played
upon him, he said to the owner: "Lool
here, Smith, you must be training this
horse for the New York market. You
expect to sell him to an undertaken for
a hearse horse, don't you? Well, it's
time wasted. l know from his gait
that you have spent days training him
to pull 9 hearse, but he'll prove dead
failure. Why, he's SO slow he couldn't
get a corpse to the cemetery in time for
