Two Sides to Life.

Horace Greely once said: 1T is
strange how close men read the pap
ers. We never say anything men don't
like, but we soon hear of it. If we
happen to say good thing we never
hear of that; nobody seems to notice
it. We pay some man hundred puff,
greatness-never thinks it does him
any good But if we say something
that he does not like, or something
that he imagines reflects on his chara-
ter, then our evils are charged against
us, but we never apparently get any
credit for the good we do. Exchange.

Our Gunboats Built 10 Japan.

The United States government has
ordered six gunboats to be built in ia
pan for coast protection in the Philip
pines. The receipt of an order of this
kind is the best evidence of the won-
derful progress made by the Japanese
in the last half century. The best evil
dence of the progress made by Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters during that time
is found in the unequalled record OF
cures back of it. Hundreds of peop'e,
including many prominent physicians.
have voluntarily testified that the Bit
ters have cured them of stomach, liver
and kidney complaints when other
medicines had failed. You will there

A child of Mrs. George r. Benson,

bath, stepped back against hot stove
which burned him 81 gerely. The child
was in great agony and his mother
could do nothing to pacify him. Re-
membering that she had bottle of
Chamberlain Pain Balm in the house,
she thought she would try it. In less
than half an hour after applying it
che child was quiet and asleep, and in
less than two weeks was well. Mrs.

Physical Courage.

Physical courage in BATTLE" said an
old veteran, lis simply this: Your
sense Of duty or your sense of shame
is SO strong that you can't run away.
All this talk about men liking the roar
Of battle is nine-tenths rubbish. No
body likes to be killed or wounded
and nothing is more natural than for a
man to get out of the way of bullet
If he can do so without too serious a
loss of his own self respect or of that
OF his neighbors.
Il never knew but one man who
seemed as If he really relished fight
ing, and that was General Reynolds,
who precipitated the battle Gettys-
burg and lost his life in so doing. 1t
was just like him to bring on an en-
gagement. Reynolds was always key
ed up very high in action. He wou d
shout and encourage his men and
plunge recklessly forward in a high
state of exaltation, as. IL he were en-
crossed with some very exciting game
which he enjoyed playing. Other gen.
erals | have observed were cool, col
lected and impassive in action, but
somehow none Of them impressed me
as having the same stomach for fight
ing as Reynolds. ."-Philade. .phia Leog-

Conditions of Weather.

The conditions which led to the cold
stormy weather of yesterday and to-
day have been gradually developing
since the 10th inst, from a wind and
rain storm which fell rapidly near the
Canadian border during Sunday after
noon and night, and the storm extend
ed quickly eastward. Heavy rain and
snow fell along the Pacific Coast north
of Eureka, and eastward to Montana.
From Monday until Tuesday the storm
area extended southwark, and the bar
ometer fell rapidly at this station,
reaching the low figure 29.45 inches
at 10 p. M, more than half an inch
below the normal, causing the wind to
rise to velocity of AZ miles an hour.
But light fall of snow occurred at
this station as only the southern edge
Of the storm reached us. An area of
high pressure has been moving from
the south since Tuesday night into
the trough of low pressure to the
north of us. The passage CT this high
over this section has caused the pres
ent cold snap, as all along its path it
has drawn down the cold air of the
upper regions to the earth's surface.
The barometer is still rising slowly
here, but is now nearly normal, so that
during the next "a hours no decided
changes in the weather need be ex-
pected.

Death Ruler of All Things
Death sits upon his CHASTITY throne,
the actual ruler of all things, and life
be but Wanting nothing. If this be
all there is to human lives, then the
universe is either a horrible blunder
or malcontent design where man is
given such a sublime thought and di-
vine feeling. only to be tossed into the
scrap pile of the universe and treated
as worthless rubbish. But then there
is that wonderful hope, the resurrec-
ton of Christ from the dead as the
first fruits of them that slept and
that by His incarnation he translated
Gods thoughts and feelings towards
US into human language, so that
every man could read in his own ma
tive tOnguefVhat Gods thoughts were
concerning, and what destiny was be-
fore him. Let us thank God for the
present life with all its trials and
sorrows and for that future life that
lies beyond the river. Let us all so
live that when the roll is called up
yonder wei be there. "
