Speak the Good Word.

II ain'tthe thinking how grateful we are
For the kindness Of friends to come
to bless
Our sorrow or loss
Meath the weight of the cross:
it is telling our gratefulncss.
1t isn't the love that they have in
their hearts,
And neglect or forget to reveal,
That brightens the lives
OF husbands and wives;
1t is telling the love tibet they feel
1t isn't the thinking of good to man
kind.
That comes as a cooling drink.
To the furnishing ones
OF earth's daughters and sons:
II is telling the good that we think.
1t isn't the music, asleep inthe strings
OF the Lutte, thatentrances the ear,
And brings to the breast
The spirit of rest;
II is only the music we hear.
1t isn't the lilies we hide from the
world.
For the roses we keep as our own.
That are strewn at our feet.
BY the angels we meet.
On our wav TO the Great White
Throne.
1t isn't the silence ofhope unexpressed
It's the words OF good cheer that we
speak,
To the triumph through strife.
FOR the great things of life
That hea rtens and strenthens the weak.

Colored Population Growing

COlOred Population Growing.
1t is well to notice the fact
that freedom is not checking
the growth of our negro popu-
lation, as so many imagined it
would. The death rate of the
negroes in the cities, where
they defy every rule of santa
ton, is enormous; but it is we'll
to remember that high death
rate does not necessarily mean
that race is falling off. Rus.
STA has the highest death rate
of any country in Europe, yet
is increasing the lmost rapidly,
for the birth rate of the9uatives
is high, as is the case with near
ly all people who have not &C.
cumulated much wealth. There
are twice as many Legroes in
this country as when Lincoln
set them free; that is, the race
problem is twice as difficult to
day as it was then.-New Or,

The catarrhal poison is in the

causing deafness by closing the
Eustachian tubes, and after a time
causing catarrh of the stomach or
serious throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure ca!arrh
must be an internal remedy which
will cleanse the blood from catar-
rhal poison and remove the fever
and congestion from the mucous
membrane.
The best and most modern rem
edies for this purpose are antisep-
tics scientifically known as Euca-
lyptol, Guaiacol, Sanguinaria and
Hydrastin, and while each of these
have been successfully used separ-
ately, yet 1t has been difficult to
get them all combined in one pal
atable, convenient and efficient
form.
The manufacturers of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, have succeeded admirably in
accomplishing this result. They
are large, pleasant tasting lozenges,
to be dissolved in the mouth, thus
reaching every part of the mucous
membrane of the throat and finally
the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, opiate or other injurious
drug whatever and are equally
beneficial for little children and
adults.
Mr.. C. r. Rembrandt, of Roch-
ester n. Y, says: Il know of few
people who have suffered as much
as | from Catarrh of the head,
throat and stomach. | used sprays,
inhalers and powders for months

them daily until | now consider

Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for com
plete treatment and for conven-
fence, safety and prompt results
they are undoubtedly the long
looked for eatarrh cure.
