When it brings you no message
OF culture, education, travel or of
opportunities to help others.
When it dwarts, cramps, or in
terfereS with another'S rights; when
it blinds you to the interests of the
man at the other end of the bar
gain.
When there is a dishonest or a
deceitful dollar in your possession;
when your fortune spells the ruin
of widows and orphans, or the
crushing of the opportunities Of
others.
When the hunger for more mon
ey, more land, more houses and
bonds has grown to be your domi-
nant passion.
When it has dwarfed you men,
tally and morally, and robbed you
of the spontaneity and enthusiasm
of youth.
When it has made you a physi-
cal wreck-a victim of "nerves"
and moods.
When it has lowered your stand
ard and made you traitor to all
your highest and noblest impulses.
When it has hardened you to
the needs and sufferings of others,
and made you a scorner of the poor
and.unfortunate.
When you rob those who work
for you of what is justly their due,
and then pose as philanthropist
by contributing a small fraction of
your unjust gains to some charity
or to the endowment of some pub
lie institution.
When the world is not the better
and the richer for your life; when
you have boarded every dollar you
have made, and have refused to

When you have used others as

When in your climb to power

Blood Poison Cured.

I, Anthony Nelson, do testify
that my. leg all the way up TO my
knee was terribly swollen and
black with blood poison. | was
in bed three weeks and could not
sleep night or day, the pain was
so great. I finally used San-Cura
Ointment, which relieved the
pain, drawing out the pus ard
poison and putting the leg in a
sound, healthy condition. I feel
safe in recommending San-Cura
Ointment for any sore or pain.

Oil to PAY the School Teacher.

A new way of paying the school
teacher has been discovered In
Peru, Kan, where almost every
other lot has an Oil well on it..
Some spectators induced the
School board to lease them the
back end of the school lot and a
well was drilled in it. Oil was
struck and the well promises to be
gusher when shot. Wells on adj
joining lots are yielding from $50
to $75 each day, and the School
board expects it's well to yield full
ly as much. As the royalty is
one-eighth the board will have
steady income of Sc or So day,
which will pay the teacher and
meet all the other expenses of the
school, so that it will be unnec-
essary to levy school tax here
after. Hardly had the School
board struck oil" until the
Methodists saw a chance to pay
the preacher in the same way.
They have leased their lots to a
company that will put down a
well within twenty-five feet of the
church. Four miles east of here
there is a small cemetery within
100 feet Of the biggest gushers in
the field, The trustees of the
cemetery have petitioned the
County commissioners to amend
the deed so that an acre Of the
cemetery can be leased for drill
ing purposes. They figure that
they can get an oil well on part
of the property and then improve
the balance of the cemetery until
it is one of the finest in the State.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an.
other for bones. A correct diet
win not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but viii sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
aud makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

The Word dun. -

The word dun" generally sup
posed to be derived from the
French donney, owes its origin,
according to an English publica-
ton of 170S, to one Joe Dun, a
famous bailiff of Lincoln in the
time of Henry VII. Dun is said
to have been so extremely shrewd
in the management of his unpleas-
ant business and so successful in
the collection of debts that his
name became proverbial, and
whenever man refused to pay it
grew into a prevalent custom to
say, "Why don't you Dun him?'

THE PART which Hon. w. J. Bryan
has played in the national democratic
convention must appeal to the good
sense and judgment of the thousands of
democrats who supported him on two
occasions for President of the United
States, and is proof conclusive that their
confidence was not misplaced. He has
shown that he is (what he has always
claimed to be) a good democrat, and has
submitted good-uaturedly to the will of
the majority. His course also shows
that he went to the convention with that
purpose in mind hence the sharpening
of knives on the part of many of his
former supporters was uncalled for and
has not enhanced their importance. Mr..
Bryan entered political lie with certain
principles which became more fixed in
time, and it was almost impossible to in
duce him to face existing conditions or
to realize the fluctuations of the age.
His free silver convictions we're honest
and he believed them to be practical.
They have, however, been controverted
by numbers of both parties, and the
omission Of financial plank by the
convention showed wisdom on the part
of those who constructed the platform.
Martin Luther, impulsive and often
bordering on the abrupt, was difficult of
conviction. He was the champion of a
movement which has oyerspread the
world, but entertained a number of
dogmas and theories which many
of his coadjutors would not adopt. His
relations with others of his own camp
were not always amicable, and we are

was emerging from his morning plunge
in the Hudson river at 500 O'Clock this
morning. In answer to a question II ne
had anything to say he replied no, that
he would reserve anything he had to say
until he wac officially notified OF the
nomination. Judge Parker received
the news of his nomination with the
same GOODNESS that has characterized his
conduct thus far in the campaign. He
did not seem surprised at the news and
he exhibited his usual dignified demeanor.
Rosemont during the night was quiet.
Judge Parker had given instructions
not to be disturbed under any circum-
stances, no matter what happened, and
neither he nor any member of his family
was reused. Secretary McCausland re-
ceived bulletins frequently which he
read to the reporters.

were severely lectured by Judge Scott,

Samuels told of various unpleasant ex-

tie of Gettysburg aud was hit in eight
places, but he would rather face that
charge again than to collect taxes in
Henrico. Judge Scott ordered new lists
to be given the constables, and declared
his purpose to enforce the law to the
letter.
