WOODEN SWEARING

\ New York newspaper is com
piling an informal dictionary Of
what it calls DIAGONAL oaths. This
means swearing IN which deacons

1t is odd, when one comes to
think Of It, that this kind of
swearing seems to be peculiar to
America. The Engushman either
swears good, round oaths or he
confines himself to classical eiaeu-

a certain expression of face, It has
all the force Of the more emphatic

added. 1t IS as If some inner self,
untouched by the irritation of
temper, sat apart and Knocked at
the speaker. The implication Is
that the situation demands some
sort of language, and it Is not
worth wasting profanity on, there

the propieties satisfied. One can

THEY ARE NOT LOST
By RICHARD METCALF.

The look, of sympathy, the gentle word,
Spoken so low that only angels heard;
The secret act Of pure .self-saerifce,
Unseen by men, but marked by angels eyes
These are not lost.
The happy dreams that gladdened all our youth.
WbeI dreams had less of self and more of truth;
The childhoods faith, so tranquil and 50 sweet,
Which sat Ike Mary at the Masters feet
These are not lest
The kindly plan devised for others good,
So seldom guessed, 50 little understood,
The quiet, steadfast love that strove to win
Some wanderer from the ways Of sin
These are not lost
Not lost, Lord for IN Thy city bright
Our eyes shall see the past by clearer light,
And things long hidden from our. gaze below
Thou wilt reveal and shall surely know
These are not lost.

NOTHING LIKE
Paine'sC Celery
Compound.
FOR CLEANSING AND PURIFY
ING THE BLOOD.
1t Removes the Germs of
Disease, Invigorates
and Rejuvenates.

Thousands Of men and women who
have neglected the work Of physi-
steal regeneration in the summer
months, are now carrying a burden
of disease. In the majority Of cases,
impure and poisoned blood and a
sluggish circulation are the direct
causes Of suffering and misery. Are
you, dear reader, one Of the unhappy
victims? If so, the life steam must be
made pure, the health-wrecking laxity
Of the blood vessels must be corrected,
thenerves and tissues must be nourish-
ed. Paine's Celery Compound is the
medicine that physicians recommend
for the increase Of pure blood in the
arteries, and for ~arousing the purify
ing organs to cast off the impurities
that give rise to disease. Mr.. Jas. Il.
Hudson, Spring Ridge, La, was a
terrible sufferer from impure blood; he
tells how he banished his troubles:
From some cause my blood became
impure and resulted in boils and
pimples. AT one time l suffered from
q boils. No one can imagine what l
suffered. l tried sulphur, sarsaparillas
and other remedies, butnor relief came.
MI. Sebastian, a merchant whom |
used to clerk for, handed me one Of
your circulars and insisted that l
should use Paine's Celery Compound.
After using two or three bottles the
boils were not so numerous nor as
large. After using the fifth bottle, !
was entirely cured, and have been my
self ever since.n

STORIES OF THE R E
Mexico People r Talking About it
on Every Corner.

1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public; but you can't keep 1t
up very long. They are sure to find
you out; every time a man is fooled
another skeptic is made. Skepticism
is allowable when reading in a home
newspaper about some. incident
occurring in San Francisco or Iowa
but the circumstances are entirely
different when it refers to some one
right here at home, friends and neigh
bors, people you know, whom you can
see and with whom you can talk 1t
over. This is the kind of evidence at
the back of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Home statements by home people and
the astonishing local work they have
been doing has caused more talk
among our citizens than the doings OF
any other modern wonder. Read the
following.
Mr.. j. e. Blattner, who deals IN
poultry and eggs on north Jefferson
street says: "Doan's Kidney. Pills
have been used by members of my
family, and in each and every case they
brought undoubted benefit. l will not
have. the slightest hesitation in advis.
ing any of my friends and acquaint-
onces If they are at all annoyed with
