III you can not reach liar through
his conscience, you can perhaps reach
him through his hide, and 1 wish it
were possible for me to scourge every
person, man, woman and child, who
exaggerates the truth by work, look
or action" said Rev. E. E. Barclay, Of
st. Louis, in his sermon on "Are All
men Liars?" Mr.: Barclay divided liars
into three general classes; those who
eyade an issue, those who exaggerate
the truth, and those who lie mali
ciously. "Of the three, the last
named is the most despicable," he
continued. ga malicious liar has no
place in Heaven and is doomed and
damned here. In the class of malicious
liars is found the gossiping liar. He
is coward at heart and the trouble
he causes is far reaching. They go
about Whispering. and preface each
malignant falsehood with low-toned,
Don't tell any one / told you,' that ia
sure indication of their character.
The making of liar is often done in
childhood. A child with a vivid inn
agination makes frst-class liar, and
if called one often, will grow to be-
lieve that he is, and the tendency to
exaggerate theftruth will develop as
he grows older. School teachers can
be blamed for having made many
liars. This is done through the bad
habit, which, unfortunately, is preva-
lent, of believing that every child is
liar and will lie on all occasions. In
these days, when the teacher has even
more to do with bringing up child
than it's parents, this disposition is
having a marked effect upon the
truthfulness of the coming genera
ton"

Iowa Invasion of Missouri.

Nearly every county in northern
and central Missouri has been SUBJ
jected to what is called "the Iowa in
vasion." The deals for Missouri land
were made last summer and fall, and
the new settlers are now taking pos
session. Every passenger train from
the north brings Iowans to Missouri.
Some come in colonies on freight
trains, with their household goods
and farming tools. The new settlers
explain that land in Iowa has ad-
vanced so in price recently that they
found it profitable to sell their farms
there and buy in Missouri.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDIcINE.
Mr. ALFRED BROWN,
Promlneut and Popular Citizen. Says;
"Aitsr the Use Of PaIne's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best Of Healih."


"Aitsr the Use Of PaIne's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best Of Hsalfh."
The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
Of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that II had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands Of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women Of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompaT-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
On OF the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, Of
OConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off bis or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
II proves, too, that the great medicine main.
tains more fully than ever before its unrvaled
place in the estimation Of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says;-
viii mankiuneSS and

that one of them, at least, would understand

pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use Of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, / am now in the best Of

Even the desperate efforts of

not inspire the confidence of the

We must not lose sight OF the
question of good roads. however, but
keep it constantly before US until We
get our roads throughout the parish
in thorough repair aud perfectly
drained. There is a maxim in vogue
among European statesmen BY which
