The Road to Ruin.

Politics has been the ruin of thou

of men ready and willing to go to
Congress or to hold other office. I'm
fortunately, it is Necessary to have few

The subject of this sketch was born
near Jamestown, in Green county,
Ohio, March 8, 1886 He was born
and reared on farm. In his early
life his opportunities were very poor,
hence, his education was sadly neg
lected. When he reached young man
hood, in fact before he was out of his
teens, he married, and at once he
began to educate himself BY the
time he had reached his twenty fifth
year he developed considerable talent,
especially as a logician and orator.
About this time he was ordained to
the ministry of the Christian church,
which position he filed for twenty five
years. During his ministry he de-
veloped into one of the ablest contro-
versalists in the whole country. He
has debated with the worlds ablest
pulpit orators and several of the
strongest men in United States Con-
gress. DR.. Browder has been d con-
slant student nearly his entire life and
it may he truthfully said of him that
he is a purely self-made man, though
he has attended several schools and
colleges and has taken two or three
post-graduating courses. The Doctor
graduated with honors from the Ameri
can School of Osteopathy, and has beer
a warm friend of DR.. A. r. Still tht

Now, my brother, the fact in this

founder Of Osteopathy, for many years
Dr. Browder under serious difficulties
established Osteopathy in Salt Lake
City, Utah, where he was engaged in
a good practice when chosen Presi-
dent Of the Tennessee College Of Oste-
opathy He is most Likely the ablest
defender of the new Science now in
the practice. Not that he knows more
Of the Science than some others, but
on account of his knowledge of the
languages and his logical acumen. DR..
Browder is journalist of considerable
experience and author of several works.
The doctor record in the treatment
of goiter enlargement of the thyroid
gland, and Asthma, has made him
famous in the intermountain west.
He has never failed in a single case
of Asthma and only in one case Of
goiter, since he has been in the prac-
tice The goiter case he failed to cure
was of forty years standing and hardened
by iodine over quarter of century
before he took the case. He is by bott
education and previous experience
eminently qualified to inauguratt
the Osteopathic lectureship by which
we propose to popularize Osteopathy
and the Tennessee College of Oste
opthy in the Southern States.

severe case of Kidney Disease in this
county. Mr.. Byron o. Leslie, OF
Northport, has for years been a vic.
i'm of Kidney derangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse 4and
as the disease advanced he became
very respondent, often wondering if
he would have to endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found a remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about it lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months of continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his an
nouncement of this has caused pro-
found sensation among the physi-
clans and the people who knew of his
apparently. hopeless condition.

ANOTHER FORM OF BRACE.

brace post is put on the inside of the
angle or an anchor rod or cable on the
outside. Both these methods have the
disadvantage Of being inconvenient
because in the way, and The s6rst-is, to
say the least, very unsatisfactory as
regards rendering the fence more
stable.
Where a slight angle of this kind is
unfortunately met with, it is better
plan to set two large and durable
posts at each angle, about three or
four feet apart. Brace each of these
posts on its lower line of resistance
by putting a heavy brace from its
top to the foot of the next post, which
should also be a large and firmly im-
bedded one. Between the two posts
which are thus braced and set nearest
to each other, let the fence wires be
left slack so as to allow these posts
to be Independent of each other in re-
spect to line of resistance, as shown
in Fig. q. While q fence inrwhich
an angle Of this nature occurs cannot
be made as stable as a perfectly
straight one, it will be much more
satisfactory than if zbraced. in the

in the season considerable divergence

acreage and yield, and estimatesssof
production ranged from about 90

however, the range has been mar

Eunanimity that the crop will amount
to between 22,ooo,Oo0 and 2e.5oo, 900

Tall larkspur is sometimes erro-
neously called aconite. 1t is simple
stemmed perennial, four to seven feet
high. The numerous flowers are of q
pale-blue color and are arranged in
long, slender, terminal racemes. The
seed capsules are three lobed and
smooth, the seeds black. This species
of larkspur is easily distinguished
from the purple larkspur by the great
difference in the shape of their leaves
and the color of their flowers. The
tall larkspur has the flowers consider
ably smaller than those of the purple
larkspur and arranged in long, close
