Would Have Killed
Cur Son.
DIR. Miles AntisPain Pills
Saved Him.

1--WE began to use DR.. Miles Nerve and
Liver Pills six years ago. My wife had liver
trouble and neighbor gave her some OF
your liver pills to try, after which we bought
a bottle of them and my wife used them un-
til cured. Since then have used them and
l must say that have never used any pills
that gave me the satisfaction these have.
We also use DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills with
greatest satisfaction. Three years ago our
son Harry had inhammatory rheumatism.
He had suffered so much that believe if we
had not given him DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills
which relieved him almost instantly he would
have died. am always glad OF the oppor-
tunity for praising DIR. Miles Remedies. -

IL was afflicted with neuralgia for years
and never found any permanent relief till
began using DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They are a sure cure for headache and neu-
Talgic pains. Only this morning / recon-
mended them to friend with a severe head
ache and in half hour he came into the
store smiling. The headache was gone. We
use them in the family and find them excel
lent for the women folks. This high altitude
makes them very nervous. Grandma says l

Geo. D. ellison, of Chicago,
agent for debt collecting firm,
happened into Centralia a short
time since and began to work his
trade, but was soon put under ar
rest for not having license from
the city to do so within its limits.
After the law had been looked up
on the subject he was released.
He then began suit against the
city for S., 900 damages for false
arrest and Imprisonment.
He was not imprisoned, we under
stand, and it seems to us that the
gentleman is clinging to a very
small straw.

Information which reached MIR.
Folk in st. Louis "A few days ago
from a source that is usually relia-
bic, says Daniel j. Kelly is draw.
ing salary of 81 800 a month in
Canada. The letter says Kelley
has a salary of ST., 200 a year and
the inference is that he is satisfied
with it. The work of staying in
Canada would not he hard for
some, but it is irksOme for Kelley.
The salary is the same as that Of
fered John A. Lee at Kansas City,
but Lee was to get it only as long
as the statute of limitations should
run on the cases he had told about.
These facts establish the price of
exile. 1t takes 81 900 a month to
keep a man away from his country
and he does not always accept
that. The way this latter infOrma-
ton comes suggests a possibility
that Kelley may be making some
of his talk about coming back to
Missouri for the benefit of the
NewYork millionaires who evident
ly want him to stay away.

Can Nervous Diseases
Be Caused by
Eye Strain?

The literature of medicine goes to
prove concluslvely that a duration of
life is materially shortened by nervous
debility and the diseases which it entails
Any factor, therefore, in their causation
ought not to be overlooked. In the view
that Eye-strain is frequent cause Of
functional nervous arrangements proves
to be the correct one beyond the posi-
billty of doubt or cavil, it is not diff
cult to see that hope OF marked relief
or Of ultimate recovery is practically ex-
tended to many hopeless sufferers upon
whom drugs have cXerted little or no
benefit.
A few of the troubles which result
directly from neglect in this particular
are Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia,
Insanity and Nervous Prostratlon. If

sic. David, in mind, was going
over S. G. Fosters words
The morn Of life is past.
And evening comes at last.
1t brings to me the dream Of a once happy
day,
OF merry forms I've seen
Upon the village green,
Sporting with my old dog Tray.
Old dog Trays ever faithful,
Grief cannot drive him way:
He's gentle. he is kind;
I'll never, never find
A better friend than old dog Tray.
The forms / called my own
Have vanished one by one:
The lov'd ones, the dear ones, have all
passed away;
Their happy smiles have flown:
Their gentle voices gone:
I've nothing left but old dog Tray.
Old dog Trays ever faithful,
Grief cannot drive him away;
He's gentle, he is kind:
I'll never, never find
A better friend than old dog Tray.
When thoughts recall the past
His eyes are on me cast:
know that lie feels what my breaking
heart would say,
Although he cannot speak,
I'll vainly, vainly seek
A better friend than old dog Tray.
4 4 Fafe nj
Grief cannot drive him away;
He's gentle. he is kind:
I'll never, never find
A better friend than old dog Tray.
He rode on in pensive mood, re-
calling the faithfulness of the low
err animals, especially the dog.
What kind and loving Creator
to be so full of love as to impart it
to every living being. Surely GOD
Is Love.
The first President David took
much interest in was Fillmore,
from 1850 to 1858. His father
took great interest in all political
questions and David was always
wanting to know something about
great men. AS he had inherited
Wing proclivities from his father,
he was disappointed when Frank
lin Pierce was elected, And
when that old bachelor, Buchanan,
was elected, it was just awful. But
"Times change aud we with them. "
CHURCH HISTORY. LESSON 3.
M. NJ. Modisett was pastor of

than an average. Bro. M. was
somewhat controversial in his
preaching. He wrote small bOOl
on baptism and frequently wrote
for the Baptist papers. He after
ward married unhappily and would
sing, Take the name of Jesus

on woe, that was indescrible. H
