sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu-
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not worthless imi-
tatlon of it or substitute for it.
Aplaster is the best form of external rem
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of

Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-

good as" Benson's. They are vastly in
ferior.-No other plaster is as good as

In competition with the best-known

Russia,s Advance on ida.

Mr.. John Kimberly Mumford has writ
ten in the May Worlds Work an authori-
tative and interesting account OF Russian
political methods, particularly as shown
by the gradual assimilation of Persia
and the stru ggle for Manchuria. Strik-
ing pictures illustrate the text, and a
map shows Russia's rapid encircling of
India.
"Peacefulv," says Mr.. Mumford,
"bland y, but relentlessly and with the
Biblicau wisdom of the serpent, by skill
full utilization OF the native elements, as
we'll as by the introduction ofnew forces,
Russian leaven is being distributed
throughout the entire Persian loaf. The
murmuring of the vanquished in the
countries the Russian has overcome is
never wholly stilled; the prophecy of
revolt is continuous, but the Cossack is
sedative OF wondrous efficacy. The
Russian known the peoples he holds
sway over. He conciliates native agen-
cies at every step. He assures men of
the friendship of Russia. He annihi
lates memories; he weans peoples from
regrets. He plays upon their vanity
until it is transmitted into loyalty; he
gratis upon his already conglomerate
speech something of the language of the
conquered, and the next generation
speaks with the tongue of Moscow. In
brief, he finds barbarism, and moving,
leaves a Russian. That is what he will
ultimately do in all OF Persia. The Rus
sian believes in his mission. That he
aspires to the possession of all Asia there
There are great obstacles in his path; he
removes them. He has one way in Man
churia, another in Iran. But he is build
ing warships as fast as he is taking up
land in Asia. He anchors them now in
Port Arthur; next in Bushire and Bender
Abbas. How soon will the searchlights
of his cruisers sweep the harbors of Cal
cutta and Bombay ?"

A Revolutionary Hero's Bones.

The discovery of the bones of General
Nathaniel Greene and those of his son,
George Washington Greene, in an old
vault in colonial cemetery, Savannah
has excited whispered interest. General
Greene was buried in 1856, and until the
discovery made by the searching party
recently his place of burial had been a
mystery. The search at this late day
was inspired by the Rhode Island So
ciety OF the Cincinnati, of which General
Greene was the first president. Colonel
Asa Bird Gardiner came to Savannah
from New York, representing the society,
and engaged the services of local COM
mittee to assist in the search for the
body.
There were many who looked upon the
expedition as quixotic in charac err The
Savannah city council in years gone by
had appointed two committees to search
for the bones OF the great general of the
revolution, but nothing had been found.
Colonel Gardner was sure, however, that
General Greene had been buried in a
tomb known as the Jones vault, and
after searching elsewhere he turned his
attention to that. He was rewarded by
finding a coffin plate upon which he
could trace the word Greene" and some
Continental buttons. General Greenes
skull was of unusual size, and this was
well preserved. His hands were incased
in silk gloves that were still intact when
found. The bones of his son, who was
drowned in the Savannah river, were
found by his side. The few remaining
bones have been placed in separate boxes
and deposited in safety deposit vault
for such disposition as may be arranged
later. They will probably be buried
under the Nathaniel Greene monument,
in Savannah. There is not a person in
Savannah who has investigated the sub
ject who doubts the genuineness of the |
relics found by Colonel Gardner and the
members of the local committee who as.
sisted him in the search. The members
of the committee were all men of the
highest integrity. Additional evidences
of genuineness has come to light since the
discovery. William Harden, librarian of
the Georgia Historical Sotiety and
county official, has been greatly interest.
ed in the researches made by Colonel
Gardner. He was member of the COM
mittee which conducted the search.
After Colonel Gardner left the city he
continued the search for records of the
grave in which the bones were found
Mr.. Harden has supplied all the informa-
ton necessary to prove to an unbiased
mind that the bones of General Greene
have been found. The tomb was bricked
up by the city in 1896, when colonial
cemetery was made a park.

LESSON. THOUGHTS.
BE sure you're right, then go ahead"
Decision, energy and perseverance mean
strength,-ior good or for evil, as the de-
cislon is for right or wrong.
AS the athlete stretches every power to
reach the goal, turning neither to the
right hand nor to the left, so the true
Christian character forgetting those
things which are behind and reaching
forth to those things which are before"
presses toward the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus"
SELECTIONS.
Live for something! Have a purpose!
And that purpose keep in view;
Drifting like a helmlesS vessel
Thou canst ne'er to self be true.
Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean,
If some star had been their guide
Might have now been riding safely,
But they drifted with the tide.
Alexander, being asked how he had
conquered the world, replied, "By not
delaying"
The man of decided character cannot
bear to sit still among unexcuted de-
cisions and uninterrupted projects. We
wait to hear OF his achievements, and we
are confident we shall not wait long. 1t
must have cost Caesar many anxious
hours of deliberation before be decided to
pass the Rubicon; but it is probable he
suffered but few to elapse between the
decision and the execution.
To character and success, two things,
contradictory as they may seem, must
go together-humble dependence and
manly independence-humble dependence
on God, and manly reliance on self.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Stand up! Stand up for sus.
Standing by urpose true,
True hearted whole. hearted.
Onward, Christian soldiers
Trusting in the Lord, thy God.
No matter what the world may say.

The War in South Africa.

A London newspaper correspondent in
discussing the South African situation
from an British standpoint says: While
no military expert ventures to mention
any date when the military operations
will cease in South Africa, meagre dis
patches describing the surrender OF
burghers in small bands, and the capture
of cattle and ammunition, are accepted
as evidence that the Beers cannot offer
an effective resistance, and that they are
weary ofinglorious skulking. The sug-
gestion made by the military journals
that the Beers remaining in the field
should be treated as brigands rather
than belligerents revives the idea current
eight months ago, when Lord Roberts
was censured for making war upon the
guerllas in too amiable spirit. Lord
Kitchener was expected to stamp out
the opposition with ruthless and wanton
energy, and did nothing of the sort
Equally futile is the expectation that he
will suppress brigandage with an iron
hand. and not allow to the Beers credit
for making war in the only practical
way open to them.

End of Desperate Career.

Thomas E. Ketchum, alias "Black Joe"
for many years the most notorious des-
perado of the southwest. was hanged at
Clayton, N. NJ, Friday. The velocity
of the fall was so great that Ketchum's
head was completely severed from the
body. The execution was guarded by
1000 cowboys and miners heavily arm
ed as report was current that an at
tempted rescue was planned. Kitchum
is credited with having killed several men
during his career, but the crime for
which he was executed was an attempt
ed train robbery near Folsom, N. M, in
August 1899. On the day of his death
he wrote letter to President Mckinley,
requesting him to pardon three men who
are serving terms in the penitentiary for
robbing the mails. The letter states that
these men are innocent and names those
actually concerned in the robbery.
