7 was a mellow day for such SER
mon. The year was fulfilling all
the promises made in early spring.
In the woods there was a blaze OF
red, the ripe juices OF autumn, and
iu the air there was that melancholy
sweetness that makes man think, that
makes him look upon his neighbor as
his brother. On a bench not far from
the pulpit old Linn Jucklin sat, deter
mined TO surrender himself to the in
duences Of the sermon. During the
week just ended human nature had not
been over strong IN him He told one
man that the only truth about him
was the truth that he was a liar, had
swapped horses with a chicken ped
dler and was glad now that he had
not succeeded IN overtaking him
afterward; he had trapped a few
quails out Of season, but had sent the
most Of them to the sick-had done
few other things not strictly in line,
such as halting for a few moments at
a livery stable to see two dogs fight
but now as he sat ready to listen to
the word he knew that down in his
heart he hated no man.
The old minister arose and gave out
the hymn, militant verses written by
some ancient fighter, and then looked
with q scowl at the empty benches
at the rear end OF the room. Old
Dock Hency cleared his throat and
settled himself down and Sister Buck

all over the country there Is a dispo-
sition to put out the Old preachers
and to take in the young onss7 1t is
because the young men are more
liberal. They are not so set in creed
and therefore they are kinder
hearted"
"Jucklin. It Is not for you to talk
like this. You would have me tried
for heresy."
Brother. where one man Is tried
for heresy, twenty are dropped for
narrowness. Put that in your pipe
and smoke II a while"
II don't smoke, sir"
But you would have everybody-else
smoke. Did you see that little girl
clinging to her mother? It will take a
long time to get that awful picture
out OF her mind. And may be by the
time that one is wiped out you'll be
ready with another one, and when she
grows UP and glances about her in the
light of pure truth she will look back
and pity your ignorance"

devil is waiting for

But he is waiting for one in par

A sure Protection.

are being published of how diseases
have been cured and lives saved by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there Is q
family in this place who use this rem
edy MS protection against the con ing
on of diseases and with excellent re-.
suits.
7 Mr.. w. A. Moffet says: 1--WE have no
very serious illness or complaint for
we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom Of sickness and they soon,
put us right. If we have touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are not
right, we take few Dodd's Kidney
Pills and the symptoms are soon all
gone. .
"My brother had Diabetes and tho
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. l got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago, he has lived through
all the winters and springs since and
is still living. Dodd's Kidney Pills are

The duke of Maine, as all the world
knows. disavowed his wife's act In
treating with Spain, and thus saved
his own dainty carcass from sharing
her captivity in the bastille. But both
he and madame were imprisoned until

apology to Orleans.
Madame dc Chartrain was sent to q
provincial fortress, and bore her in
carceration with great fortitude WIN

at Sceaux during the regency. and

Philip of Orleans possessed some of
the virtues, of a great man, and many
of good man. but these he kept ever
locked within his own bosom. His
mother, the rigid and austere madame,

Though good fairies have gifted my

While the mother was unpacking an

got hold of bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the foor and his
feared he would not live, for he could
not eat ordinary foods. The mother
says in telling Of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him, as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk,
and that was no better for him. His
grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts
and am thankful adopted the food.
FOR he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get feshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he Is
entirely we'll.
Il took him to Matamoras on visit,
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape Nuts and l would
have to explain how he came to call
for 1t, as it was his main food.

Towns in Trees and Cities in Caves and
Crafere

Tit-Bits: 1t is mistake to suppose that
the whole of the 1,50O,000.000 of the earth's
Inhabitants live upon the surface of the
world. They do not. Some of them dwell
beneath 1t. The people of Tupuselel have
no need to travel far when they want to
take a salt water bath. The town is built
on piles. which have been driven into a
submerged coral reef situated far out In
the Torres straits to the south of New
Guinea. Opposite this extraordinary set
Element, on the mainland, Is another VIII
lage that is perched high in the air among
the gigantic palm trees with which the
coast is fringed. The object of both COM
munities In choosing these curious sites
for their dwellings is identical. They de-
sire to assure themselves against being
surprised by their numerous enemies, and
especially they seek safety from the
prowling Dyak head hunters.
People afflicted with diseases not infre-
quently develop strange fads as regardn
the choice of their abiding places Net
long since, for instance. number of con-
sumptives agreed together to dwell with
in the dismal depths of the mammoth
cave, Kentucky. In pursuance of this ex-
traordinary project. building materials
were actually carried into the cave at
considerable troubls and expense, and a
tiny subterranean village spring by de-
xress into existence. When it was COM

But, as might have been foreseen, the
profound silence and eternal darkness of
the place exerted upon the unfortunate
Inhabitants a deleterious effect which far
outweighed any benefit derived from the
undoubtedly pure, dry air and equable
temperature Some Of the invalids died,
others gave up the experiment in disgust;
and the houses so strangely and laborious-
| ly built are now given over to tramps, out
laws and other similar chance sojourners.
Better luck has attended the little col
ony of people similarly afflicted, who, a
few years back, settled within the land

hot natural baths at varying tempera-

ground, too, is kept at constantly

within. And. lastly, food Of all kinds is
plantiful and varied, and includes such
curious and unusual delicacies as sea ele-

FAIR IN TROUBLE
Unable to Furnish Satisfactory Bono
to City Of St. Louis, II Faces

crisis.
st. Louis Mo-, May 12.-"The Worlds
fair management is unable to furnish
bend such as the city requires fol
the restoration of Forest park"
This is the statement made to May
or Wells by Franklin 1Terriss, counsel
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company, In an interview With the
city's executive which Judge Ferrlss
had requested at the time the second
bond was submitted but which, like
the first. was not approved by the
mayor.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Mayor Wells said:
After practically unremitting efforts
to obtain satisfactory bond from the
exposition company for more than {,
admission to me on the opening OF
the Worlds fair.
Nations of Earth Invited.
To this we have invited the nations
of the earth, as we'll as The governors
of the several states of our own coun-
try. They stood without the gates
waiting anxiously for them to open.
Is there any one in ST. Louis in
sane enough or so dead to the city's
ecutive, to close the gates of the ex-
position through injunction proceeds
ings in the courts?
Some believe, understand, that
such course would have been legal
and authorized by the ordinance grant
ing the use of Forest park for exposi-
ton purposes. Notwithstanding this,
do not believe that any citizen with
the best interests of st. Louis at heart
would want to see such action, taken
considering the irreparable loss to the
city which would doubtless follow.
Council Committee Considers.
LAS to what steps will be taken in
the future 1 am unable to say until
hear from the committee on ways and
means in the council, to which the
matter has been referred.
II am fully aware that the ordinance
provides that no machinery shall be
removed from the site until this bond
has been furnished, but again l repeat
that l am unable TO say anything as
to the future, at least until hear from
the council committee"
From this 1t might be inferred that
the city, through its legal department.,
would take action against the property
of the exposition and also exhibits at
the closing of the fair.

The brain does not tire; intellectual
work does not hurt under normal con-
ditions. It Is eyestrain that causes all
the brain flag which the newspapers
have been exploring of late. Spencer,
learned this lesson and escaped the
tragedy of Nietzsche and Carlyle by
debating his writings. getting others to.
do his research work for him, and by
being willing to go without vast realms
Of accurate knowledge. Parkman was,
driven to similar expedients. But all!
the rest groaned and suffered even
while they wrote little notes and postalI
cards instead of letters to their best
friends.
The result in suffering was incalcul-
able and horrible. There are biograph-i
les of these people which do not allude'
to 1t; physicians and medical editors
have been known who smiled ironically
Mt the 'exaggeration" of vivid imagi-
nations" and there are numberlessi
fools who think they are excused from
all sympathy with a Carlyle or q
Nietzsche. They do not know that the
misery of the pain OF one attack Of
nausea or sick headache has not been
equaled except in some medieval or
oriental torture chamber. When for
some profound reason the dominant
and Oldest instinct of the organism
that for food and nutrition-is violent-
~ reversed 1t should be plain even to
the stupidest mind that the deepest
wrong exists and that the very springs
of life are being drained. Add to this
another symptom almost equally ter
rible, intense pain in the brain. the or
gan controlling both character and life
processes, and what disease could be
more desperate? How many Of our
patients had sick headache 1t is Inn
possible to tell. owing to the disclina-
ton, especially in letters and biog-
raphies. to speak of vomiting. Probably
most of them did suffer from 1t more or
less.
