That good old adage-'oThink twice and

reads the following account OF the ex-
perience Of a Barre citizen Mr. Cum
mings made a public statement on the
subject years ago, and at this time re-
peats hts former testimony with renew
ed emphasis
Geo. L. Cummings, engineer on the
Montpelier & Wells River Railroad resi-
dence % Prospect Street, Barre, says !:
What I stated first In the month OF
February. 1897. about Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at E. A. browns, stop

absolutely true. It was often SO bad
that at times was unable to do my
work, and so severe at night that I was
SO lame and sore could scarcely lie

that were not sufficient to aggravate the
ordinary mortal there was added to 1t
trouble with the Kidney secretions. par

and Doan's Kidney ills cured me Of a
very acute attack. I was only too pleased
to make 1t known. Since that Mrs. Cum
mings has bought Doans kidney Pills
and used them. They certainly brought
her relief, I have more than one friend
who is thankful for the knowledge he

THANKSGIVING.

Thursday tiext is Thanksgiving
Day and all over this great land Of
ours men and womtn will assemble
themselves together id their re-
spective places of worship to offer
up prayer. praise and thanksgiving
to God for his innumerable bless
ings to the children of tileh. Never
has the earth poured forth such an
abundance of grains, fruits and
vegetables as she placed iii the hands
of the farmers Of our land during
the past season. While some ap-
pauling disasters, In which many
lives were lost. have occurred yet
pestilence and famine are unknown.
Thanksgiving as an appointed
holiday Is strictly of American
origin and should be observed by
every American citizen. That
every American citizen has many
things to be thankful for is not
doubted, but often multitude of
blessings Blind dur eyes and we
are unable to see or appreciate any
of them. The good old Pilgrim
Fathers, who established the day,
were not oter-Butdened with the
good things of life and Had time
to. be thankful for the few blessings
they did possess. The thanksgiv-
ing that Is in the Heart cannot be
measured BY worldly possessions.
Plato. the Greek philosopher,
thanked God for three things:
First, that God created him d man,
and not beast: secondly, that he
Was born a Grecian and not bar
barian; thirdly. that he was a
philosopher. But it Plato had lived
In our country in these enlightened
times, NO doubt he would have
thanked God for creating him id
His own image, that he was a citi-
zen Of the United States and that
he lived dt d time when newspapers
and books were cheap and the best
thoughts of the philosophers Of all
ages were within the reach Of all.
Everybody has something to be
thankful for no difference what
their position OF possessions id this
life are. If you are not thankful
examine your life and ascertain the
cause. Perhaps you Have SO many
things to be thankful for that they
have crowded you away from the
Giver and you have lost sight of
Him altogether. Give thanks.

Major George B. McCllan of Greater

New York schoolboy, who after school
was over sold papers III front of the

One afternoon the mayor walked

While Waiting for his change he said
to the boy:
"Well, My little man, how is busi-
ness today?"
The little merchant looked up and
answered, "Oh de Bum."

and finally said;
"Keep at it, my little. man. You
have chance to become the president
some day."

ately:

beautiful Living.

You cannot estimate the value of q
picture by its frame, nor can you judge
life by its surroundings. The finest
gems are not always richly set. The
most beautiful lives are seldom SUR
rounded by evidence of wealth.
1t is in the power of each of us I'd
live beautifully, Some of you, think OF
the drudgety Which seems touf lot; OF
poverty, of threadbare carpets and
turned dresses and hard work, and you
shake your heads over this statement.
Yet it is grandly true.
The beauty of a mans life does not
consist:in his possessing an abundance.

known was passed in poverty ana

ONE thing that the recent cleo
ton demonstrated is that to be
placed in nomination by the Strong
est political party in the state is no
sign that yod will be elected. Dem
ocratic governors were elected in
six or seven strong Republican
states where Roosevelt got big
majorities. 1t seems that the peo-
ple were dissatisfied with the Re
publican nominees and made the
fact known by. scratching their
ballots. This fact should be hailed
with delight by honest people. 1t
demonstrates that the day fot dis
honesty and graft in public Office
IS drawing towards d close. The
people want honest men in, Office
and as soon as the political bosses
realize this fact they will place
honest men in nomination, But q
better way woild be to have pri.
iiiary laws giving the people q
chance to nominate the candidate
and cut the political machines Out
altogether.

He says: The party has tried

1t Is not enough for man to build a
ship so that it looks beautiful as it
stands on the stocks. What though a
man build his vessel sd trim and grace

comes to be launched, she is not fit for
the sea, ii she cannot stand stormy
weather, If she Is . slow sailer and q
poor carrier, II she Is liable to founder
on the voyage? A ship, however
comely she may be, is not good for
anything unless she tan battle with

All her fine lines and grace and beauty
are of no account if she fails there. II

Answered the Call.

The proprietor of a farm on the bank
of the Mohawk river, owned several
horses, one of which was blind. Dumb
Animals tells the following story,
showing the sympathy of the lower
animals:
The horses frequently resort to the
islands in the river for pasturage.
They ford the stream at a point near
the dwelling, and the blind mare usual
ly follows the others. During a recent
freshet the horses attempted to re-
turn, while Mr.. Pepper, anxious as to
the result, stood watching them from
the north shore. Two horses. and colts
had entered the stream; then their
blind companion followed.
In a few minutes all We're struggling
against the rapid current, and, failing
to make any Roadway, the leaders
sought the large island, while the blind
beast became separated from them and
drifted considerable distance below
until she gained a foothold.
Then, discovering the loss of her
mates and realizing her helpless condi-
ton, she gave a plaintive whnny. One
of the animals, upor hearing it, re-en-
tered the stream, and swimming to its
unfortunate companion, touched it
with the nose and directed it toward
the island, which both reached in
safety.
