tion to the fact that home merchants

with the farmers in this section would
warrant each in sending a substantial
check. Did they do it? Talk about
the marble heart. Why, they we're not
considerate enough to address even a
reply. Yet they will continue to do
business 10 this country and may find
many who are willing to patronize them
at just as great a margin OF profit,
freight added, as is charged by home
dealers who contribute literally in dona-
tions and taxes for the improvement of

the arrival of the new cup challenger,
Shamrock Ill, which the English people
expect will lift the cup this year. While

building for years she also holds the su-
premacy in medicine. Take Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as an example. No
other country in the world has been able
to produce medicine so good TO restore
the appetite, build up the run down sys-
TEN in the spring or to cure nausea, in
digestion, fatulency, dyspepsia, consti-

fever and ague. 1t is therefore deserving
of trial. Be sure to get the genuine

There is saying that Love viii

in Kansas CITY, and when several days
passed and he failed to put in an APP

house asked about him.

railroad hospital, you know"

A LAST RESORT.
Pure Food Should he tho Frat,


When the human machine goes wrong
it's ten to one that the trouble began
with the stomach and can therefore be
removed by the use of proper food. A
lady we'll known in Bristol, Ontario

had curing her only child by the use OF
scientific food MY little daughter, the
only child and for that reason doubly
dear, inherited nervous dyspepsia. Wa

grown so bad the whole family waa
aroused we tried Grape-Nuts.

perhaps, because he did not own the
road. on the contrary, he paid S1,5OC
for a special train and started in pur
suit. Thus we may note the difference
between George and Mrs. Vanderbilt
between a business man and society
woman. And yet Georges business
was most pressing; he had n dinner
engagement in New York and feared
the fish would spoil before he arrived.
Here again we may learn lesson In
the punctilious observance of appoint
ments. What is a mere matter of 81.

at stipulated hour? Some Of us there
may be who would cut out dinners for
six months in consideration Of such n

This editorial Is builded about a
baby. 1t was not laughing, crow
ing baby. 1t cried. A wan woman
"mothered 1t" and 1t still cried. All
night, as the train rolled on, thai pierc!
ing, nerve-ra cking wall filed the car,
and people who had paid good money
for chance to sleep were very angry
and wondered why that fool woman
didn't leave her baby at home" In
the morning two men, who had slept
little, assembled in the smoking apart
ment and said harsh things, that they
didn't really mean, about baby and
baby's mother. All but one, fine old
man who said his name was Heffel-
finger, who told this story: when the
OWL war was on great many veter-
ans were marching along Grants mill
tary road near Petersburg. An Off
GERS wife sat in window with a
baby in her arms. An old soldier went
to the window and said, Madam, may,
hold that baby a minuteY She,
handed the child to him and the soldier
begun to cry. He hadn't seen a razor
in six months, and he carefully kissed
the back of the child's neck. Another
soldier and another, wanted to hold
the baby for an instant Then shout
went up, baby babyr and men
running by hundreds, and they were
crying God bless you, how they were
crying! And an officer was compelled
to order the men back, and to take
baby to its mother. l was there. I,
cried, and to this day I'm proud that
the hardships of war do not, can not
take from the human heart that love
for children that is the divinest pas
sion man knows. The crying of the,
baby last night didn't worry me. /
didn't let it. l never do. / was the
only sorry for the mother, and be-
cause the child was ailing." The,
grouchiest man In the lot said not a
word, but he reached over impulsively
and grasped the hand of the man who
cried on Grants military road. The
man who keeps love fresh in his heart.
who puts bit of philosophy into his
daily life, doesn't suffer annoyance
when he is travelling. He doesn't let
things worry him. And the other kind
of men, who fret and growl and
grumble, might read the baby story,
and be sorry for the things that can
not be helped when we travel.
