pulmonary tuberculosis respond to treat

eases of the heart the positions are re-

THE OLD FAITH.

THUS saith the Lord: Stand We In the
ways and see. and look for the old paths.
where is the good way, and walk therein,
hno We shall find rest for your souls. -
Jeremiah GIG
AS man who is travel weary, as man
who is travel worn,
VINO carries anew the calling loads he over
the road has borne,
Who carries anew each burden when count
Ing them DER alone,
Whlle trudSing his way through bog and
fen and stumbling on brui:slns stone.
VAS man who is travel weary remembers
the first fair way
30 man goes back to the simple faith that
was all his own one day.
The simple faith he cherished; the faith in
the grass and Sky,
The faith that he held in innocence with
never a doubling ''Why?'-
When valley and hill and forest and every
thing that is
Was wondrously rich with a breathing
truth, and all of that truth was his:
When twilight and dawn were peaceful,
and his were the dreaming stars
Nhe faith that he held unconsciously ere
ever his soul had scars.
AS man who is travel weary, he stands
on lonely height,
And longingly looks at the stretching way
that ends in the fading light,
And yearns for the pleasant pathways as
once he sought out their end
The faith that he held in an honest hold as
one does faithful friend
He turns to the unforgotten, the years
when he wrought no wrong,
And seeks for the faith that once was
his-ail simple and sweet and strong.

Carl Schurz Answers a Critic.

The campaign of 1904 has brought
cut many bright things, but it has
probably brought forth nothing
that will be appreciated more
than hte reply made by Carl
Schurz to a Connecticut bank
or who sent Schurz an insulting letter.
The letter and reply will be found be-
low. The Republican readers of The
C9mntoncr can pause in their rejoicing
long enough to peruse this correspond
cnce, and the Democrats and Popu-
lists may find in it some little relief
from the unfavorable returns which
were so frequent as to become mon
otonous:

Dear Sir: Your printed letter is at
hand. Conditions here seem very unsat-
isfactory to you, 1 wonder you do not
return to your native land. That
think is the best way for those who
do not like the views of the rulers of
this country-the voters.

Miles Lewis Peck, ESQ.,
Dear Sir: 1 thank you for your
communication of October &c. have
received similar letters in the course
of almost every political campaign,
but they were uniformly anonymous.
Yours is the first one of which the
author was proud enough to sign it
with his name. This deserves recog-
milton, and entities it to an answer.
Your demand that l should leave
this country OH account Of my political
disagreement with Mr.. Miles Lewis
Peck is unkind. I have lived in this
country over SO years, and as, to
judge from your letter, you are still
young, it may be that I was one of
those voters, of whom you speak as
the rulers of this country" before
you were born. l have become at
tached to it. During that half century

and war, not to your satisfaction, per-
haps, but as best l could. And now
to be turned out Of it because l do
not agree politically with Mr.. Miles
Lewis Peck. of Bristol, Ct, is little
short of cruel.
But the rule you lay down is also
unreasonable. In Justice you will have
to apply it. as we'll as to me, to all
other persons in the same predicament.
You will then, supposing you to be in
the majority, send all those who differ
from YOU politically. out Of the coun-
try-the foreign born to their native
lands, and the native born to the
homes of their ancestors. But it is
probable may say certain-that the
remaining majority would also divide
into parties. You being always Of the
majority party. would then, according
to Your rule. read the new MINORITY
party out of the country. Now YOU will
see that this operation. many times re-
peated. might at last leave Mr. Miles
Lewis Peck. of Bristol, CT, on the
ground, lonesome and forlorn, in DESC
late self-appreciation.
But it may also happen to you to
find yourself sometime accidentally in
the minority of the voters, and then.

1 place Of seeking m opportunity to whisper his love to Miss Laura, sat apart and glowered.
 | During supper Mir. Holly not only burst the shell of shyness which had formerly enveloped him, sbut cast the fragments to the four winds. Witti- cisms and anecdotes fairly flowed from his lips and Miss Crook laughed delightedly at them. Captain Dun- ham morosely ate bread and butter | and glowered. When the meal was ended Miss Crook absented herself on some do- mestic call and Mir. Holly took a chair on the veranda. Captain Dun- ham, eyeing him from the room, not ed that he was caressing something with his fingers and apparently rais- ing something at times to his lips. I Had Miss Laura given him n lock of her hair? A jealous pang twisted his heart and. stepping softly to the win | dow, by the aid of a shaft of lamp | light, beheld Mir. Holly stroking af- fectionately rabbits foot. The cap- tain's heart dropped in his bosom like a plummet. This was the cause of Holly's confidence. This explained the sudden evolution from shyness to bold ness. He had a rabbits foot.

 Sleep was a stranger to Captain Durham that night. He tossed and tumbIed the dainty bed in vain search for forgetfulness. He arose and in his stockings stepped out on the porch, which ran across the front of the second story. There was the bright nzf Nf Ir,k ha ( I.n night breeze freshening its wings at the river and pertaining them with the odor of sweet flowers as 1t passed touched his cheek. but he noticed 1t not. Defeat rankled at his heart From the open window before which he paused came the sound of healthy slumber. It was Holly's room; no wonder he slept, with a rabbits foot presaging good luck for him. The moon sent a beam directly Into the window and 1t rested on the bureau and on this bureau, by the light of this moon. Captain Durham saw the rabbits foot lying. Who dare say he is proof against temptation? Will a soul encased in triple steel of right eousness be impenetrable when great want and opportunity come together!
 Captain Dunham softly stepped in- side the room, picked up the foot and stole back to his bed.
 It was with bouyant step that Cap. tain Durham trod the earth the next morning. Before he had walked as far as the gateway a small negro con fronted him. De mate of de schooner tole me to give you dis sah. He fine 1t on de cabin flo, sah"
 Captain Durham opened the pack age. It was the missing rabbits foot If he had been a little farther from the house he would have shouted ir his glee, IS 1t was he whistled and gave the boy half dollar.
