New Century Ideals.

To weigh the material in the scales of
the personal, and measure life by the
standard of love; to prize health as con-
tagious happiness, wealth as potential
service, reputation as latent influence,
learning for the light it canshed, power
for the help it can give. station for the
good it can do; to choose in each case
what is best on the whole and accept
,cheerfully incidental evils involved to
put my whole self into all that / do,
and indulge no single desire at the ex-
ipense of my self as whole; to crowd
out fear by devotion to duty, and see
present and future as one; to treat
Others as 1 would be treated, and my
self as would my best friend; to lend
no oil to the foolish, but let my light
shine freely for ALL to make no gain by
anothers loss, and buy no pleasure with
another's gain; to harbor no thought of
another which 1 would be unwilling
that other should know; to say nothing
unkind TO amuse myself, and nothing
false to please others; to take no pride
in weaker mems failings, and bear no
malice toward those who do wrong; to
pity the selfish no less than the poor,
the proud as much as the outcast, and
the cruel even more than the oppressed;
to worship God in all that is good and
true and beautiful; to serve Christ
wherever sad heart can be made hap
Ply or a wrong will set right; and to
recognize Gods coming kingdom in
every institution and person that helps
men to love one another. William De-
Witt Hyde.

0,yugv Medicine,

Up In n little Vermont town they tell
story of an old nurse. She was the
kind of an old nurse to be found In
small towns, who comes, after much
urging, to tend a case and who has
many Sairey Camp pccuiiarities.
Miss Sally, as she was called, was
induced to come to the house of the
sick woman and take charge. She
moved in-cob pipe, batch Of starched
aprons, knitting and all.
After the good creature had seen the
case through she said to the doctor,
doc, kin take my tolli"
whats that, SallyT" asked the visit
ing physician who had come from the
capital city and was amused and lit
tie irrltated by the old woman's ways.
81 mean the medicine" said the
nurse complacently.
1.-THE mediciner' exclaimed the doc
tor. "What on earth do you want with
the mediclne?"
No fifth wheel to wagon was ever
more redundant than left over -medi-
cines.
81 puts it in me Jug" replied the old
woman slowly, land then gives it out
occasionally when there amt no doctor
nigh"
The visiting physician roared with
laughter, but sobered down when the
story Of old Sally's "jug" medicine
was explained to him. That there were
not more victims to her unique meth
DDS of cure was a mystery.-New York

Standards of Measurement.

The foot" is named from the
length of that member in full grown
man. Some say that it was called so
from the length of the foot of Il GER
tain English king, but it is believed
to have been a standard of measure
ment among the ancient Egyptians.
The cubit is from the Latin cubitus,
an elbow. and is/the distance from the
elbow to the end of the middle finger.
Fathom is from the Aryan, fat, to
extend. and '-denotes the distance from
tip to tip Of the fingers when the
arms of an average sized man are fully
extended.

Autidyspepsin Diet.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease In America II the peo-
pie of the country would adopt a plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Gout Is unknown among
Swedcs and Norweglans and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations Of the
young people of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen. Norway, says. Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen In Sweden.
Knackbrode. or hard bread, is the
standard article of food. 1t is made of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
In the bread, and 1t Is rolled into thin
waters, which are. baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals Il day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only OH state
occasions"

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame on the cook if they begin the
Christmas Dinner with little appetite
and end it with distress or nausea. 1t
may not be fair for any to do that-let
us hope so for the sake of the cook The
disease dyspepsia indicates bad
stomach, that is weak stomach, rather
than a bad cook, and for weak stom-
ach. there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla 1t gives the stom-
ach vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite, and makes eating the
pleasure it should be.

The Guiding Star.


Shadows close and darken round us,
Life is weary, time is long;
Through the beating storms of winter,
Pause and listen to our song;
We are watchers on the mountains,
Lonely, gazing near and far,
Watching for the promised glory,
Waiting for the Guiding Star.
Whence,shall come the light to cheer us?
Whittier shall we wend our way2
Summers latest rose is faded,
Gone the last faint flush of day;
Who shall tell us where to labor,
Strive in peace or strive in war?
Come, O herald of Salvationl
Come and lead us, Guiding Start
Rising thro' the clear blue ether
In the azure depths of night;
Shining with holy lustre,
Large and pure and calmand bright;
Lo the star, the star of morning,
Thro' the blue depths seen afar!
Feast thine eyes upUn its splendor,
Gaze upon the Guiding Star!
Still it moves. it journeys onward,
Over hill, and rock, and glen;
Rise and follow Rise and follow
Waiting women, watching menl
Onward, swift asrushing rivers,
Scale the crag and leap the scar,
Falter not, brave heart, and faint not,
Follow fast the Guiding Star!
Ye that seek a kingly grandeur,
Onward still, we cannot stay,
Ye that boundless wealth would gather,
Turn, and seek an easier way;
But, o loving hearts and faithful,
Following Jesus fast and far,
Pause and see, DER yonder village
Rests at last the Guiding Star.
Haste thee to that humble manger
Lowly kneel, and meekly pray,
Till the blessing of the Saviour
Makes thy darkness light as day.
While on angels wings descending,
Love unlocks the golden bar,
Touched and quickened into being,
Rise and thank the Guiding Star!
Heaven sheds her rays about us,
Life is noble, truth is long;
Thro' the beating storms of winter,
Pause and listen to our song:
We are toilers in the conflict,
Straining, struggling, near and fsr
Christmas-tide brings Christmas tidings
We have found the Guiding Star.

Diamonds Under water.

An imitation diamond is never SO
brilliant as a genuine stone. If your
eye is not experienced enough to de-
tect the difference, very simple test
is to place the stone under water. The

sparkles even under water and is dis
tinctly visible. When possible, place a
genuine stone beside the possible imi-
tation under water and the contrast
will be apparent to the least expert

Captured a Bride.

L. McHaney, our well known citi- zen, who went toIllinois last Sunday night, returned last night. He did not come home alone, neither did he come with the conductor. But he brought with him life partner. We are not much surprised, as Fate had visited Illinois a little too often of late. So this morning the story came out on him. He was married to Miss Jennie Steele, a well-known and much admired lady of Owden, Ill.,, the home of the bride, on last Tues- day night. They came home on last nights Cotton Belt passenger and went out to the McHaney home.

THE JUDGES DENIAL.

Judge F. G. Taylor is in the city today Hug with friends. He was pleasant caller at the Soliphone office and stated that there was mistake in the editorial in the Soliphone yesterday to the effect that he refused to give Mir Parrish second instruc- tions in Clay if Parrish would give him second instructions in Craighead.
 The Judge exhibited sworn statement made by himself to the effect that he pro- posed to Foster Brown on the floor of the convention that he would secure second instructions for Mir. Parrish in Clay if Mr.. Parrish woald accord him the same in Craighead.
 The editorial in question was based upon what we considered to be reliable infor- nation, and the editor disclaims having any personal knowledge concerning the matter.
 We regard both MT. Parrish and Judge Taylor as being men of unquestionable veracity, and we arc satisfied that neither of them would Intentionally misrepresent the matter.
 While the Soliphone, for personal req sons, has made a hard fight for Mir. Par rish, we deem it due Judge Taylor that his denial of the point at issue should be published.
