AN HONEST NAME

An Illinois Statesman Tells q Good
Story-knew His Fathers Son Would
Not Lie.
The Honorable Alva Merrill Of Chilli
Gothic, member for the Twenty-fourth
District State Of Illinois House Of Rep
resentatives, tells an interesting story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill gave
a testimonial stating that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured his rheumatism. This
with Mr.. Merrill's portrait were pub
lished In thousands Of papers all over
the United States. Z
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter were
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and several
other members. After a time one Of
them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothey
This attracted the attention OF an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr..
Merrill, and as Don MS he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and sex.
tending his hand, said:
You are Alva Merrill and you saved
my life. I was most dead with Lum-
bago and in an advertisement l saw
your picture and your recommendation
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew your
father and I knew his son would not
lie, and therefore I decided to try the
Pills.
Il am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and ! have been waiting this oppor-
tunity to thank you personally, for had
1 not seen your recommendation I
might never have been led to use this
remedy. but thanks to God, through
y Jour ioncst name and the honest medi-
cine which sou 80 heartily recommend
ed, I am still alive.
Il have been watching you since you
got on the train ut Springfield and
thought | recognized your face as the
one had see In the advertisement.
and as Q Q as this gentleman called
you by name, I knew you were the man
| had to thank"

New Orleans Times-Democrat: An
interesting story OF the saurian family
is told by. of Alglers' Oldest citi-,,
zens, Mitchell j. Barrett, who ha spent
much OF his life in adventure on the
high seas and in travelling In q business
way along the gulf shores. He relates
that hen a boy, living IN the banks
OF thu st; Johns river. It was custom
ary for the boys in the, n~eighborhood
to go in swimming every day.
Alligators were very numerous, but
It was a seldom occurrence that a white
person was. molested by them. MT.
Barrett says that he cannot recall an
instance where q white perAon or boy
was ever killed by one Onsthe other
yenteured into the st. Johns where
these water pests held forth. It is said
that q negro never risks his life where
an alligator lives.
Mr.. Barrett says that on one occa-
sion. while he and several OF his COM
rades were in bathing, q negro boy,
well known to the party, came by,
shufied of his clothes and Owed In
with b others. He had been In but
few minutes, when he suddenly disap-
peared without the slightest apparent
strmggle. An alligator caught him In
the middle. and took him under wa
!ter without giving him time to even
warn the others.
He tells OF q similar incident on the
Sabine river. another paradise for the
alligator. He states that while he. two
friefds ana q 8 were crossing the
river In q small boat9it ran against q

An Explanation.

In commenting upon Daniel
Knapp ms being adjudged bank
rupt, the Pueblo Chieftain among
other things has this to say:
Some time ago Mr.. Knapp pur.
chased stocks of goods from the
petitioners on accounts aggregatiug
about 81, 100. Subsequently he
gave chattle mortgage to H. S
Andrews of Florence upon the
stock of goods and fixtures for
about $1,000"
This is n mistake, or an error by
the Chieftain's reporter or the
man he got the news from as he
did not get it from the court pro-
ceedings, as the records show 5000
and not $1,000 If the Chieftain
wants to publish news let it state
facts. H. S ANDREWS.

Flowers have a way of advertising
that is quite as effective as the dis
play type and cuts used by merchants.
The scientists tell us that there is
constant struggle in nature for the
propagation of species, so that the fit
test may survive, and out Of this has
grown the advertising that the flowers
do.
1t is necessary that the pollen of one
flower be carried to another to pro
duce civilizations, and natures agents
for this work are the honey loving
insects. In taking the honey from
blossom they get their feet, and legs
coated with pollen and thus carry it
from one blossom to another. With
out this fertilization many species
would soon die out and become extinct.
To save themselves and to perpet-
uate their kind the flowers must have
the services of the insects, and they
have been advertising for them from
the earliest ages. The first adver-
tisements were very plain and unpre-
tending, set, as we might say. in small
type anu Sollu, DuI thlS simplicity ulu
not suit the bountiful and ambitious
designs of nature and she gave colors
and sweet odors to the flowers that
they might offer more attractions to
the insects, and thus make their visits
more frequent Then there grew up
rivalry among the flowers to see
which could attract the most insects,
and blossoms became larger, colors
brighter and odors sweeter.
Thus it is that the flowers advertise.
for, while it is true that their beauty
and fragrance are intended in part to
give US pleasure, it is equally true that
these characteristics were designed pri-
marily to help the flowers in their
struggle for propagation and survival.

Every one will recall the Aesopic
story of the lion and the mouse; how
the life of the mighty monarch was
saved by the small creature whom he
once had spared, says George s Hill
man in the Atlantic. To our recogni-
ton in this story of a truth universal
in its human application is due, al
most entirely, our interest in the
mouse and the lion. In our eyes they
are not mouse and a lion. but two
men teaching the lessons that the
mighty shall be humbled. that nothing
is too insignificant to be of some SER
vice. and that it is good to cast bread
upon the waters. We do not stop to
consider whether lion understands
the mouse language. or whether a
mouse is given to gratitude They are
merely convenient forms essentially
human, and they show animal char
acteristics only very secondarily,
when at all. In the Indian tales
where animals figure as chief charac.
tiers, the method is the same. though
there is often the added purpose of
doctrinal instruction. feasible because
of the Buddhistic belief in the trans
migration of mems souls into the
bodies of beasts. The Bible shows a
similar use; and perhaps in all litera-
ture there is not a nobler instance of
the introduction of animals TO teach
ethical truth than is to be found in the
parable OF TIE lost sheep
