Her Sentiments.

1t is related of a clergyman who was
the father of charming and beauti-
full daughter that one day while pre-
pairing his Sunday sermon he was sud-
denly called away from his desk on a
mission of mercy. The sentence at
which he left off was this: Il never see
4 young man of splendid physique and
the promise of a glorious manhood al
most realized but my heart is filled
with rapture and delight"
His daughter, happening to enter the
study, saw the sermon and read the
words. Sitting down. she wrote under
meath, my sentiments. papa, exact

A Series of Failures.

A coroner's jury in Ireland delivered
the following verdict on the sudden
death of n merchant who had recently
failed in business:
I'VE, the jury, find from the new doc
tors statement that the deceased came
to his death from heart failure super
induced by business failure, which was
caused by speculation failure, which
was the result of failure to see far
enough ahead"

The Word Bible.

The word Bible furnishes n striking
instance of words rise from very
low to high estate. To the bulk of
English speaking folk it now means
the book of books. In Chaucer'S day
it meant any book whatever or scroll
to speak by the card lest equivocation
undo us. Tracing the word Bible
straight home. we find it as bublos, but
another name for the papyrus reed Of
Egypt.-NationaI Review.

To THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT:
1 am receiving so many inquiries
relative to the textbook situation,
that 1 deem it my duty to offer the
following suggestions to superintend-
ents and patrons OF the schools:
The readers, Biographies and ply
siologies are tied up by reason of the
restraining order Of the probate Judge
of Shawnee county. The hearing has
been set for September l. However,
many of the schools of the state begin
the first week of September. Under
the circumstances, patrons can use
the old books that they have on hand.
in reading, geography. and physiol-
ogy, because it is not safe to buy new
texts in these subjects, either of the
displaced ones or of the newly
adopted ones, until the question in
volved has been settled by the courts.
1t is neither expedient nor safe to buy
books OF the series adopted five years
ago, except the arithmetics and ad-
vanced grammar, which were re-
adopted, for, should the courts hold
that the newly adopted texts in read
ing, geography and physiology are
legally adopted, every purchase made
of the old series of these texts would
be an additional expense to the peo-
pie.
trust it will not be necessary to
postpone the opening of the schools
because OF this difficulty to secure
textbooks. 1t is earnestly hoped
that the issue at question will be
solved at the very earliest moment,
in order that the school work of the
state may not be jeopardixed.
Very respectfully,
FRANK NELSON,
State Supt. Public Instruction.

much annoyance to every one con-

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contains Mercury.

AS mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly de-
rive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, o., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. 1t
