STORY e.r A SONG.
Circumstances Under Which. the
HThree Ejebersv Was Written

circumstances Under Which. the
"Three Fishers" Was Written.
Charles Kingsley wrote the Three
Fishers" as a result of the many sad
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror in particular lived in
his memory, a day as he described it,
when the old bay lay darkened with
the gray columns of the water spouts,
stalking across the waves before the
northern gale; and the tiny herring
boats fleeing from their nets right for
the breakers, hoping more mercy
even from those iron walls of rock
than from the pitiless bowling waste
Of spray behind them; and that merry
beach beside the town covered with
shrieking women and old men, casting
themselves on the pebbles, in fruit
less agonies of prayer as corpse after
corpse swept up at the feet of wife
and child, till in one case alone q
single dawn saw upward of sixty
widows and orphans weeping over
those who had gone out the night be-
fore in the fullness of strength and
courage" These scenes lived ever
in his mind
But the Three Fishers" was writ
ten as a result of one of the strangest
incidents in the stormy career of the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preached
q sermon in London church on "The
Message of the Church to the Labor
ing Man" AT it's close the vicar rose
and denounced him. Bishop Bloomfield
forbade Kingsley to preach again in
his diocese, until, having read the
sermon and seen it's author, he with
drew the edict. The same night upon
which he delivered his discourse
Kingsley went to his home weary.
There had nearly been riot in the
church. Sick at heart, he retired to
his study. When he reappeared he
handed to his family his immortal
song; "as though it were the out
come of it ALL" as his wife said.

HIe WAY TO oUTWIT THE DEVIL
Preachers Opinion on Prepared and
Extemporaneous Sermons.


Apropos of the question of the
best way to prepare sermon Rev
G. Campbell Morgan, the great Eng
lish evangelist, is credited with hav
ing told the following story to class
of Bible students at the Mccormick
Seminary:
IAN aspiring young curate once ask
ed an old preacher if it were better to
write out sermon or to preach eX
temporaneously. The venerable clergy
man, who was noted for his rambling
discourses, replied: My son, never
write out your sermon, for the devil
will be sure to look over your shoulder
and get warning beforehand. Now
when | preach the devil himself could
not tell what | am going to say"
This remark was almost as sophisti
Gated as that of the old darby DR.
Thomas used to tell about, who was
asked to explain the difference be
tween a preacher and an exhorter.
"a preacher" said the son of Ham
has to stick to his text, but the ex
horter can branch.

l AM TIRED.
Everybody is Tired - Spring
Weather Does It-Every One
Should Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa-
tons, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss
of sleep. Peruna meets every indica-
ton and proves itself to be perfectly
adapted to all their varied pecu|iari-
ties. Peruna invigorates the system,
rejuvenates the feelings, restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold Of winter quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken.
Thousands are daily testifying to it's
priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 West 18th
street, Des Moines, Ia, writes: Il am
happy to give my endorsement for
your valuable medicine, Peruna, as
consider it valuable medicine to take
when the system is run down from
overwork. About two years ago l felt
that must take long rest as had
been unable to work for over month
and could not regain my strength. |
could not sleep at night and was in
very nervous, high strung, condition
decided to try what Peruna would do
to build up my strength, and am
pleased to say that I began to improve
very shortly, and in less than two
months l was able to take up my
work, and felt better than | have for
years. | take it now twice a year and
find that it keeps me in perfect
health" Mrs. Kassatt was for over
ten years the manager of plant fur
nishing ladies' wear and employing
hundreds of women.

Miss Bertha M. Rush, 5435 Kincarde
street, Pittsburg, Pa, Superintendent
Junior Society of Methodist Protestant
Church and leading Soprano of the
choir, writes: words cannot describe
my thankfulness to you for Peruna. I
was sufferer from systemic catarrh
for years and was in very much rum
down condition. l was extremely ner-
vous and had the most foolish fears
over nothing. l was thin and ema-
ciated.
my physician advised me to leave
this climate, but as it was not con-
venient to do so at this time, I took
the advice of a friend to use bottle
of Peruna. I took it faithfully and
when the first bottle was gone | felt
so much better that bought six more
and took them faithfully, after which
looked like a new woman.
II gained in flesh, my appetite re-
turned and all my old symptoms had
disappeared. am more than thank
full to Peruna"-Miss Bertha M. Rush.

The Worlds Fair.

In making your arrangements for
the Worlds Fair at st. Louis this
summer, if you consider convenience
and saving of time, you will take the
Wabash Railroad as it runs by and
stops at it's Station at the entrance of
the Fair Grounds; thus saving sew,
eral miles run and return, and the in.
evitable jam at he big Union Station.
BY all means consider the advantages
OF the Wabash.

Tired, Nervous Women.

There are thousands Of them every

do them untold benefit. AS tonic

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
viii open April both and close
Dec. list, seven months, which is a
month longer than the period Of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago in 1898, owing to the fact
that the weather at st. Louis during
October and November being pecu-
liarly pleasant, 1t being the Indian
Summer of the Middle States. In
order to appreciate the immensity OF
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition il
should be noted that the area Of the
exposition grounds is 1,24O acres as
against the Worlds Fair at Chicago
638 acres; the Buffalo Pan-American
800 acres and the last Paris Exposi-
tion 1856 acres. In other words the
area of the grounds of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition is nearly equal
to the combined area Of the Chicago,
Buffalo and Paris exposltions. The
approximate cost Of the exposition is
fifty million dollars. All the nations
of the world will have elaborate
exhibits. The midway" will be
mile long and cost over IS, 900, 600.
Arrangements are being perfected for
through car line to aud from st.
Louis via Erie Railroad to Marion,
o., and the Big Four route to st,
Louis during the continuance Of the
worlds fair at rates as low, if not
lower, than any other first-class line.
