Cancerot1s :55:::: :5 ::::; :;:5 $$:: Ulcers

look like ordinary sores and are usually treated as such, some simple saive, wash or powder being used in the hope of dry ing them up and stopping the discharge; but while the place may temporarily scab over, it again infames and testers, be- coming as bad or worse than ever. After awhile the deadly poison begins to eat into the surrounding flesh and the sore spreads with frightfu1 rapidity. Then the sharp shooting pains, which distinguish the cancerous from the common ulcer, are felt, and the unfortunate patient is brought face to face with the most dread ed of all maladies, a cancerous ulcer.
 Whenever an ulcer of any kind Is slow in healing it should be closely watched, particularly if there is an inherited pre- disposition to cancer. Often times ma lignant, stubborn ulcer starts from boil, wart, mole, bruise, blister or pimple, tor when the blood is tainted and the germs and seeds of cancer are implanted in the system, you cannot tell when nor where the deadly poison is going to break out;

NEWSPAPER PROVERBS.

S. w. Gillian, the funny man of
the Baltimore Ame,ican and secretary
of the recently organized Association
of Newspaper Versifers and Humor-
lists, has coined the following proverbs
out of twenty years experience:
The chap who tries hardest to work
a newspaper for special favors is the
one who never spends cent with it
and is not even a subscriber.
The one who demands the highest
excellence in Typography, subject
matter and quantity of contents does
the least to help the cause along.
The man who kicks the most about
the inaccuracy of newspapers in gen
eral is the one who does least to assist
in getting the facts accurately when
he has an opportunity to do so.
The man who has it in for news
papers in general has had the bitter
truth told about him once by some
unusully frank reporter and has big
sore spot.
The man who brings in the long
est obituary of the late deceased was
not a model husband always.
The woman who declares it's none
of the public's business and she
won't talk, so there" always winds
up by giving the reporter rafting
good story so fast that he can't take
it down in shorthand.
The man who begs that his name
be left out of the list of drunks fol
fear it will hurt his mothers feelings
never considered that good lady's
sensibilities before in his life.
The men who spend the most money
with the paper kick the least.
If you expect man to find com
pliment about himself, you must pu
it on the front page in boldface tpye
If you put in a one-line roast il
nonpareil between two patent medi
cine ads on the steenth page, he'll
find it and come hunting the mai
who writ the piece.

AMERICAN NERVES.

A German physician who once
came to this country to practice was
soon so bewildered by various ner-
vous ailments he came in contact
with that he punched them all to-
gether, and called it Americanitis.
1t is commonly said that Americans
overwork their brains and bodies.
1t would be truer to say they misuse
their bodies. If they run to catch a
train if they start out for faithful
exercise even if they lie down to
sleep, they throw so much wasteful
energy into these acts that they actu-
ally impede the muscles. This is
pre-eminently true of American wo-
men, and of American women OF
leisure, at that. Generally a work
ing woman learns some economy OF
energy because she realizes that she
cannot go on by waste.
In the matter of lying down tc
rest, how rarely you see a woman
who lies supine like a child, who al.
lows the bed to take the responsible
ty of holding her up. Instead she
holds on to the bed, she grips the
pillow, draws up her knees, tightly
clenches her teeth. In her busy
brain she goes over and over agair
the little round of her day, or she
tastes in anticipation the troubles o.
tomorrow.

AN APOLOGY.

Some years ago there was an old
Judge on the bench in Berks county,
whose decisions, in consequence of
numerous reversals, did not always
command universal respect. One day,
in a case in which he was sitting, one
of the lawyers lost patience at his in
ability to see things in certain light,
and in the heat of the moment re-
marked that the intellect of the court
was so dark a flash of lightning could
not penetrate it. For this contempt
the judge showed a disposition to be
very severe with the offender, and it
was only after much persuasion by
friends of the latter that he yielded
and decided to accept public apollo
gy. The following day the lawyer,
accordingly, appeared before his hon
or and made amends by saying: 81
regret very much that I said the in
tellect of the court was so very dark
lightning could not penetrate it. !
guess it could. 1t is a very penetra-
ting thing"

One of the greatest stump speak
ers of that day in the West was Col.
Nat. c. Claiborne. He was one of
the swayers l have been telling you
about.
Whenever Nat was to speak a
platform was erected on the outside
OF the building that contained the
biggest saloon in town. A punch
bowl as big as a washtub would be
tllled and showed up to the window
where it was handy.
Nat stood where he could reach
back and get dipperful whenever he
began to sway. 1t was the custom
OF the times. But then you can have
oratory oftener than we had it, lust
as you can have wit whenever YOU
want it.-W. y Sun.

I CAN NOT SING THE OLD SONGS.
l can not sing the old songs

can not sing the old songs
sung long years ago,
For heart and voice would fail me
And foolish tears would flow;
For bygone hours come DER my heart
With each familiar strain
l can not sing the old songs
Or dream those dreams again:
can not sing the old songs
Or dream those dreams again.
1 can not sing the old songs;
Their charm is sad and deep:
Their melodies would waken
Old sorrows from their sleep.
And though all unforgotten still
And sadly sweet they be,

They are too dear to me;
can not sing the old songs.
They are too dear to me.

Of golden dreams departed
And years of weary pain:

Have set my spirit free,

For all eternity,
My voice may know the old songs
For all eternftv

WHAT TO TEACH THE BOYS.

A philosopher has said that true
education of boys is to "teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men,"
I. To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had
better not know how to read, and be
true and genuine in action, rather
than be learned in all sciences and in
all languages, and be at the same
time false in heart and counterfeit in
life. Above all things, teach the
boys that truth is more than riches,
power or possessions.
2. To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and body.
z. To be unselfsh. To care for
the feelings and comforts of others.
To be generous, noble and manly.
This will include genuine reverence
for the aged and for things sacred.
d. To be self-reliant and self-help-
full, even from childhood. To be in
dustrious always, and self-supporting
at the earliest possible age. Teach
| them that all honest work is honora-
BILE; that an idle life of dependence
on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these
things, when he has made these ideas
part of him-however poor or how
ever richie has learned the most
important things he ought to know.
THEY SAT together by the sad sea
waves.
