Let the people speak for themselves. Praise from those who have been cured is praise indeed, and a comment would be waste of words. This is what Mir H. w. Eldridge, of Cherry Valley, N. Y., writes to the manufacturers of Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's neso medicine, Dr. Kennedy Row, Rondout, N. Y.
 "Gentlensen.:
 "I should like to tell you, in a few words, of the good Cal-cura Solvent, Dr. Kennedy's latest medicine, has accom- plished in my case, one of kidney trouble.
 "Beforo I took Cal-cura Solvent, my urine was of a brick dust color, and there was always sediment of a red- dish tinge. I then procured a bottle of Dr. Kennedy's new medicine, and after giving it a thorough trial l noticed that the sediment gradually disappeared and the urine became clear I have not taken any of the Csl-cura Solvent for a long time, and no sediment has appeared.

ful! Beautiful! Beautifulr', But was the death of Nero beautiful? Was the death of Cleopatra beautiful? Was the death of Thomas Paine beautiful one moment in prayer, the next mo ment blaspheming God, until his rela- tions, in horror, placed their fingers in their ears and ran from his bowling blasphemous agonies?
 The Redemption of John.
 Are you and I ready to become part of Gods beautiful creation? Are we ready to become beautiful in ourselves by becoming beautiful in him? Even the lowest and vilest, saved by his graceeend redeemed by his blood, can become a true part of Christ's beauti- ful life. Many years ago when the yellow fever plague was raging in Memphis, Tenn, rough looking man applied to the city relief committee and said, "I wish to nurse." It was at time when most people who could were fleeing from the stricken and des- plated homes. The death carts seemed to be going everywhere. At first the physician declined the rough mans services, but as he could get no one else to do the work this man was sent to one of the most filthy and danger ous wards of the city. Wherever he went he was messenger of love. He would not tell his name; he said sim ply, Gall me John." Time passed on, and after awhile John, whose name was now famous through the city, sickened and died. While his body was being prepared for an unmarked grave, suddenly upon his arm was found a nvid mark, which proved that John was an ex-convict. John had been one of the most dangerous criminals of all the south. Once he was mur- derer, but now, through the blood of Jesus, he became a ministering angel. Once he was horrible in his depraved malformation. Now he was made beau tiful., by bringing his life in sym metrical touch with Jesus life.
 My friends, will you not let Christ i'll you with his spiritual beauty? Will you not only in the future be spiritu- ally beautiful, but beautiful now in your present life? Will you not be- come transformed as was John, the redeemed nurse, laboring for his Mas ter in plague stricken Memphis?

A .Iucky Thirteen" Stroke,

 During the reign of William III. a sentinel on duty was sentenced to death on the charge of being asleep at his post. This the man denied, and he de- clared that he heard the clock strike thirteen instead of twelve at midnight. The fact was deposed to by several per sons at the trial, and the life of the soldier-named Hatfield-was saved. He died in ITO in Aldersgate, aged 102 yeors

 We find an analogy for mans spir- itual beauty in the painters brush and the. artists easel. According to Samuel Coleridge, the English poet and literary critic, the true definition of beauty" Is multitude in unity" When standing before a great picture like that of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" or Murillo's Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes" or RaphaePs greatest picture, his Sistine "Madon- na," we find that there the many lights and the shadows. the gold and the silver and the green and the vel low and the blue and the saffron and the violet and the purple, all blend in one common purpose. Thousands, per haps tens of thousands of times, Mi chael Angelo, with his brush, may have touched the wall in the Vatican where today Is seen his Last Judgment" But not one of all of those thousands of times when he laid on the paint did he do 50 without having one great idea tn his mind.

ceedings of the convention were not
calculated to unite. inspire and en-
thuse the Democratic masses to the
degree that was absolutely essential to
the production of the indispensable
phenomenon. That it has been Gre
ated since the campaign was formally
opened and will appear in the verdict
of the ballot boxes on November Is
not apparent, in spite of the roseate
visions with which some of the short
range prophets are regaling the over
credulous. If this were fitting time
to point out emediable mistakes 1t
would not be difficult to mention and
comment on a number of happenings
on the Democratic side that should
have been avoided, because their
avoidance would have strengthened
the party. But as what can't be
cured must be endured criticism of
irrevocable errors may well be post
poned.
OF course, the domain of the pos
sibIe, since it embraces all things not
prohibited by any natural law, is quite
wide enough to include a Democratic
victory in the pending campaign.
Only the counting of the votes can en-
tirely Danish doubt There is time
enough for the unexpected to develop
before the voting begins. But taking
the situation as it appears today, we
find the probabilities very strongly
leaning to the Republican side. Pos

A Unique Globe Trotter.

On September 5, 1900, this globe
trotter left Vienna, pushing before
him his wife and 7-year-old daughter
in little carriage He had not
cent in his pocket, that being part
of the contract. He is a good photog-
rapher, and after getting possession of
a camera, he began to sell photo
graphs of himself and his family along
the way. In this manner he earned
enough money to buy food along and
clothes He made the entire circuit
of Europe and found his picture
selling profitable enough to pay for
his passage on the steamship across
the Atlantic.
Seven months ago he landed in New
York city. He found a small White
dog in that metropolis, which is now
a member of the party. From New
York he went to Montreal, quebec,
and then came south through Chicago.
From the latter place he went to st.
Louis, stopping there three weeks to
visit the fair and selling enough pic
lures to put him on Easy Street.

THE PROBABLE RESULT.

The Washington Post, newspaper
Independent in politics and probably
Rs free from political bias as any
paper in the country, has reached the
conclusion that Roosevelt has much
Rhe better chance of election next
Tuesday. The Post says;
Despite persistent professions of
full, firm and abiding confidence on
the part of gentlemen more or less
prominent in the management of the
Democratic campaign, it is impossible
for an impartial observer to find a
cratic victory. 1t seems to the Post
that the most that marty can reason
ably hope for, in view of existing con-
ditions. illuminated by the light of ex-
perience, is so much of progress on
the "sane and safe course as will
render it a really formidable and use
full opposition and thus strengthen it's
chances of future triumphs, culminat-
ing in its restoration to complete con-
troll of the government, a position it
has held for but two of the last forty
six years.
When, in the congressional and
state elections of 1902, the Democracy
met its fifth successive defeat, leaving
little in it's possession except the solid
south, it was painfully evident to all
politicians of that faith that nothing
less potent than a phenomenal land

September. 1906, jtIst about six years
from the time that he started.
The three wheeled cart is a unique
affair. 1t is covered with a regular
buggy top. Its handle is apparently
taken from a baby buggy. Under
meath the scat is an apartment into
which is stored a tent, some sleeping
blankets and food. Hanslian's wife
weighs $50 pounds and his child 65
pounds. The entire weight of his
family and the buggy aggregates a
total of $50 pounds By the terms of
the contract they are not allowed to
employ any method of transportation
while on land other than walking.
Trains must be absolutely tabooed,
and this applies to all three members
of the family.
The appearance of Hanslian is as
strange as that of his cart and it's load.
He wears short knickerbockers and a
heavy green sweater. His face is
tanned and rudy and his shoulders
rounded from walking. But the
muscles protrude from his arms and
the calves of his legs like bumps on a
log. He is confident that he will COM
pIete the $4,000 miles necessary to
visit all the important countries in the
next two years and arrive in Vienna
before the time limit. His wife and
daughter are in good health.
