A Hint to Church Membera.
And, my dear Christian friends, this
plea to roll the financial distress of
your life upon Christ brings up n very
pertinent lesson which ought to be
practiced by all our churches. Do Won
know why the average Christian
church is having such hard work IN
get along financially? At the end of
the year few rich men have to nut
their hands in their pockets and make
up the heavy deficit 1t is because
these churches in looking after the
temporal life OF their members instead
OF the spiritual are not doing their
duty. The best way 70 get q full
church treasury Is not. as some people
suppose. to have n bazaar. or an oyster
supper. or an evenings entertainment
OF Mrs Jarley's waxworks, or a con-
cert. The true way to get full
church treasury Is to have full pray
er meeting. If the rich men OF
church. the leading men officially,
would set the right example to the av-
erage church members and come to the
weekday meetings and take Sunday
school class and practice prayer 10
public as well as in private then there
would be no difficulty In meeting the
financial obligations OF the boards OF
trustees. II we. the members OF
church. honestly and faithfully do the
work OF our church In spiritual way
God will see to II that we shall be able
to easily carry its financial burdens In
q temporal way.

M1II1oNA1RE,s poor STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and In
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine like
Green's August Flower. which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over IS years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus
creating appetite and insuring perfect
digestion. It tones and vitalizes the en-
tire system and makes life worth living,
no matter what your station. Trial bot

Japson was about 50 years Of age, and
had been working IN the shops until q
lew weeks ago, when his health became
shattered and he was compelled to sub
NIT to medical treatment. He was not
serious enough to be kept In the hospital
and was permitted to sleep in his own
cell and during the day WAS allowed to
walk about the courtyard for exercise
His condition grew worse Of late, and
he never had much to say to anyone. He
.would sit around brooding over his trou-
Aies and was In serious state Of de-
spondency. It is thought by the au-
thorities that he became demented from
worry, which caused him to commit the
deed.
The manner IN which he tok his life
was by hanging himself to the cell bars
with sheet. He evidently climbed up
the side of the cell until he reached the
ceiling, then tied the sheet that was APP
pended to his neck to the top bars Of
the cell, then let go of the side and
swung about to the center OF the cell.
His feet were some distance from the
floor when found.
Japson had only served one year of his
sentence and his strange actions since
his confinement caused many to wonder
"a to his sanity. The remains viii likely
be shipped to his former home for burial.
