The principal and best reason
why a visit should be made to

The president of one of our great
est universities has said "To the
bright student the exposition is
worth a thousand college lee
lures" The opportunity of a
lifetime is afforded in which to
acquire, by few days sojourn
at the fair, an education which
could not otherwise be received.
The Worlds fair grounds cover
over 10000 acres, being more than
twice as large as that of the
Worlds Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
Only a few weeks remain in
which to take advantage of this
great opportunity. Every day
from now until the close of the
fair is a Especial" day. The WA
BASH is selling daily excursion

duced rates; $12 st. Louis and re-
turn, on sale daily, except Fridays

A. B. SMITH,
Candidate for County Commits,
sioner, a Noble Man.

Alfred B. Smith of SanchO, Pro
hibition and Democratic candi-
date for County Commissioner of
Tyler county, first saw Tie light
Of day near his present home at
Sancho, October 10, 1861, and is,
therefore, past Al years of age.
He is a son of Isaac, Smith, who
is still living, and who has al
ways been considered one Of the
very best citizens Of the county
and the son has evidently inner
tied the good qualities of char
acter possessed by his father.
Mr.. Smith is honest, frugal and
prosperous. He has been a mem
Der of the NJ. f. church for %
years, and nearly all of that
time has held an office position
in the church to which he be-
longs. He has been married %
years, and is the father of eight
children.
He has manifested much wis
dom IL conducting his own bus
mess affairs and in his dealings
with the public, he is admired
for his honesty and his fair and
reasonable views upon all pub
lie questions of interest to the
people of our county.
No one doubts Alfred Smith s
honesty and should he be elected
to the office to which he has
been nominated by the Prohibi-
ton and Democratic parties. He
will not be led around by any
bosses, cliques or gang of politi-
clans, but will serve all the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Smith is also a prominent
member of the K. of P. lodge.
You might ask any man who
knows Mr.. Smith, though they
differ from him politically, what
they think of him as a man, and
the answer would be that his
character and qualifications for
the office for which he is a can
didate, are worthy of the respect
and admiration of any citizen OF
the county.

looked at the body hard and went up

If she could render any assistance.

HOW HE WON THE BOYS
a Little Story That Will Encourage
and Help the Teacher Of
Restless Boys.

A young man, fresh from a rural
town in the east. was asked to teach
large class of boys in a mission
school in one of the worst districts in
great western city. He was Jealous
In the Masters work and not unaware
OF the difficulties in the duty confront
ing him. But he had been boy him
self and not so long ago, either, and
this. he fancied, was fairly good equip
ment for the task, as it was.
But he began to fear that the species
before him was peculiar-that never
had he encountered anything similar
or having aught in common with speci-
mems of the genus boy whose habitat
is the slums OF a large city. There
was point of contact, however.
The young man, inexperienced and
unframed, with visions of an orderly.
quiet Bible school far away rising be-
fore him and blurring nearer things.
had within his breast a divine spark
OF sympathy, says Amy Hardcastle
Pattison, in Baptist Union. and with
this glowing, he began the lesson
which was about the call of Simon
and Andrew.
After a good-natured parrying OF
such questions as Mister, did Peter
wear gold spectickles?" and did An
drew have pritty, red whiskers?"
(trust street gamin for discovering
ones small vanitiesD, the attention
was arrested by a reference to the ac-
count of a fishing excursion OF ex-
President Clevelands that had been
exploited in the papers the week be-
fore. Following this were personal
experiences-wide and varied-and
discussions as to the best bait, the
kind of day to go a-fishin', ETC., etc.
From these the transition to the sea
of Galilee was easy and thence to the
wonderful words that came from the
lips of Him who, walking on its shore,
said: Follow Me and I will make
you fishers of men,"

THIS CAT WAS SKEPTICAL.
It Refused to Believe That Desdemona
and Other Stage Characters
Were Dead.

The theater cat is always protruding
its presence on the stage when it is least
wanted, but the feline which keeps
Chase's theater free of rats, says the Uti-
ca Observer, has particularly erronne-
Gus idea of the eternal fitness of things.
1t was when the stock company was
playing "Othello" that the cat rendered
itself conspicuous, and therefore great
ly disliked by its friends and actors.
Desdemona was dead, and all the other
characters were dead that could con-
veniently die, and were stretched on the
stage in various post norton attitudes.

her way upon the stage
She paused at the first PROSTATE body

CHRIST AND COMMON TASKS
The Latter May BE Dignified and Clio
rified Under the Touch and
Presence of the Master.

Doubtless there are thousands of
consecrated and jealous Christians
who, compelled to expend their chief
life-force upon plain tasks in humble
spheres, are inclined to regret that
their place or calling is not more
friendly TO spiritual development
Here is, for instance, spiritually as
piring young man who is troubled be-
cause his daily work, though innocent
IN itself, serves as a constant drag
upon his spiritual nature instead of
an encouragement to his spiritual
progress. How much easier it would
be to be Christian, he has thought,
II he might be employed in writing ed
itorials for a religious magazine. or
teaching in a college, or preaching the
Gospel, instead of endlessly adding up
columns of figures. Here again is a
large-spirited woman who feels that
her life might become vastly more
helpful to the cause of her Master IL
she could escape the drudgery of
household cares, and become a lecturer
or authoress-follow some line that
looEs especially friendly to moral ex-
pansion and some spiritual fruitful
ness.
But, says Rev. George Francis
Greene, d. D., in the N. Y Observer,
two things may be said. First of all,
these occupations that look most
friendly to the growth of the soul have
their own peculiar temptations to spir-
itual depression; they are not always
In themselves as helpful to spiritual
progress as they seem. And in the next
place, the main question for a servant
or Christ is not what our work is but
the spirit in which we do it. 1t Is quite
as easy for the worker to redeem his
work as it is for the work to glorify
the worker. Because there were saints
"of Caesars household" there was a
breath Of the fragrance of Heaven
about the very throne of Nero Tent
making in the hands of St Paul be-
comes an employment fit for a king.
The garments created by Dorcas look
as though stitched with threads OF
gold. Watching a flock of sheep be-
comes as sweet a work as the vocation
OF him who has the gift of tongues,
when angels sing to the shepherds from
the clouds.
