STORY OF
FATHER JOHNS
An interesting Bit Of History From
Lowell, Mass.

In 1s4S, Rev. Father John O'Bren, a
noble man, came ITO Lowell, Mass. to do
the Masters work IN St. patrick's parish.
He built schools, churches and hospitals
for .he sick and lived a life devoted Ia
his church and The spiritual and material
weil-being Of his people-wa:ch, in his
spiritual and charitable nature and lib
erality Of mind, included all mankind.
Besides his duties Of church and ad-
iniaistraion, he was ever visiting the
afflicted, cheering and encouraging the
unfortunate. No matter what the weather
IN winters storm or summers heat
Father john, as he was fondly known to
his people, made his daily calls. His cares
and burdens greatly Increased and in
1854 his duties began to wear him down.
lie was attacked with a serious cold
which. developing into a stubborn cough
and afflcsion of the lungs, caused the
greatest alarm for the health of the be-
loved clergyman
Medical skill seemed unable to stay the
progress of the disease. Finally an emin.
ent specialist was consulted. The doctor
who had been called because of his high
standing and eminence in his profession
gave Father John a prescription TO cure
the cold and remove the lung trouble. as
well as to build up and strengthen the
body
! The clergyman began to improve al
once. and the cough soon disappeared
He continued to take the medlci;s-. and
II corrected his digestion, its food ele-
ments nourished his whole system. made
new tissue and gave vital power ito the
blood and nerves. His people rejoiced
when he declared that he had been made
as well and strong as ever; and his won.
derful recovery was the one thing talked
Of for he was loved and admired by all
regardless Of race. creed or class.
Father John recommended the medi.
cine to his parlshioners and friends. and
thousands were made well and stronr
by taking it. In getting this prescription
lthey always called for Father Johns
Medicine" and so It was named by the
people, and advertised, all with the an.
proval and sanction OF Reverend Father
lOBrien, because he knew Of It's merit and
desired that all who were aillng might
benefit by its power to cure. The faith OF
the people i'm this valuable prescription
grew because of the lasting character OF
its benefits, a faith that was added 70 by
the fact that many Lowell physicians pre-
seribed it. Il is endorsed on every hand
by clergymen. doctors. lawyers. and by al
classes. BY this word-of-mouth recon-.
mendation Father Johns Medicine ha:
become a family medicine IN counties.
homes, until now after fifty years of sue.
cess Il is known TO every man, woman
and child for miles around.
This old-fashioned wholesome remedy
Is unequalled as a body builder and tonic
1t restores health and strength to all rur
down systems. Its gentle laxative effec
Strengthens the stomach and corrects the
digestion. 1t drives out all impurities. Il
is a food medicine and contains only pur,
lnourishment. 1t is the best medicine evei

NO HARD TIMES.

The hard times which have been pre-
dicted have failed to arrive. and there
is nothing to Justify the somewhat
prevalent opinion that they are immi-
nent There were smash-ups few
months ago due to over-inhation. but
nothing disastrous has occurred TO le-
Ultimate enterprises. The concerns
centered IN New York. the financial
center, are now paying their annual
dividends and the aggregate disburse-
ments covering 1908 are much greater
than those of the previous year.
The steel market used to be the test
but 1t is no longer so. There has been
a shrinkage in steel securities. but it
has not affected the stocks of other
concerns. The earnings of most legisi-
mate enterprises are greater than at
any past time, and as a matter Of fact,
the outlook is most encouraging.
Another Indication Of the general
confidence is the abundance OF money
offered, and the tendency to hoard
which precedes panic is entirely alb
sent. There is plenty Of money In the
West. and in the South. and the dis
bursement OF the annual dividends OF
many companies viii augment the
available supply. Reports from every
section indicate constantly increasing
deposits in the savings banks. an ex-
tension Of life insurance and all other
investments. Consequently. the poll

It's nice to know Of food that not

A woman says: Il have taken enough
medicine in my time to furnish a drug

for the nealth I now enjoy, on suitable

"Of these my main dependence is

myself the first thing in the morning
with about four teaspoonfuls of Grape

to myself.

ouR MEANING Is PLAIN.

As on interpreter Of plain English
the wilmington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Record is not a pro-
nounced success. Were he a teacher
of theology he would draw from the
Scriptures Il stranger creed than that
of Dowieism or Mormonism. Here is
a paragraph:
1t is now believed that the Regular
Republicans have practically nban-
doned their fight against J. Edward
Addicks The exposures in the suit
brought by Receiver George Wharton
Pepper against Mr.. Addicks is mnde a
pretext for this action. The organ Of
the Regular Republicans, the Evening
journal. controlled, 1t is presumed, by
Colonel du Point, this evening print
ed an editorial announcing that Ad-
dicks is out Of the political situation
hore.
1t is not our policy to be mysterious
conceallng our meaning in a mass Of
verbiage. In the light OF contempo-
rary happenings we think Il is incon-
ceivable that any considerable number
of our citizens can follow leader
whom they have followed, and there
no longer oppears to sbe any induce
ment for him to conduct a campaign
which for n number OF reasons would
prove barren in the end. We choose
10 regord that leader, az far as politics
is concerned. as dead, and as no longer
worthy of discussion, save as a histori-
cal character. such as Richard Croker
or Boss Tweed. Should he come to
life. the Evening Journal will know
how 60 deal with him; and in parenthe-
ses-we shall watch for signs of re-
suscitation.
Our second proposition is that when
the time comes when the element OF
discord shall be eliminated. or II II
has TO come and that shall be evident
TO ALL it viii be better to meet the sit
uation with judgment and not to ex-
ercise the faculty of memory unduly
f1eprisais don't amount to much. After
civil war a few leaders Of the van
quished are hanged and the rank and
file restored to citizenship. Thus our
editorial contained a prophesy and a
warning. It explains our principle,
A fight for decency should be strenuous
and unrelenting. but when It is won
there is no place in our philosophy FOR
revenge.

wHAr Ir cosrs no LIVE.

Occasionally somebody sits down
and figures out how we should eat
what we should pay for rent and 9TH
er expenses, and wherewithal we
should be clothed. Sometimes these
articles are interesting but sometimes
they contain absurdities, and usually
they fail,o provide for expenses that
are extraordinary.
Yet we suspect that were the heads
Of families to do little more book
keeping and to determine to make the
accounts balance at the end Of the
year. there would be fewer embarrass-
ments and greater provision for rainy
days and unforeseen contingencies.
1t Is generally understood that the
rent should not exceed one-hfth of the
entire income. That Is. il the salary is
500 a month. the rent should not ex-
ceed $50; II 1t $3.50 a month the rent
may be $50. OF course the prudent
man by using good Judgment may cut
this item considerably.
Then comes the table. Here Is Il
chance for taste, ingenuity and econo-
my; but in many a household it means
extravaganza and waste. II is usu-
ally set down at about two-ffths OF
the income, or double that Of the rent
The American people eat too much and
OF rich and expensive foods: the result
is too often dyspepsia and a depleted
pocketbook.
Another fifth may go for clothing.
and usually this viii be found suffi-
cient. unless the family is large or the
endency TO indulge In fnery and dis
play is too great. SO there is left one
hfth for extraordinary expenses. These
cannot be reckoned with any degree OF
accuracy There are the demands OF
education and OF the church. There
may be life insurance or some invest
ment calling for regular payments.
Then come books. papers and amuse-
ments. These items win easily cover
the other fifth, and there is nothing
left for sickness or for sudden
emergency should the income cease.
This is about the way the income of
the average family is expended.
But occasionally there is a family
that cuts a little on each Of these
items; the rent is a dollar or two less
per month than the traditional one
nn.h; the table costs a dollar less than
the average, and ingenuity and care
make the allowance for clothes &c
farther. The result is a monthly saw
ing and in the course Of time a neat
little nest-egg. The extreme Of PEN
uriousness should be avoided. but were
each family to make careful estimates
and see that these cover expenses man,
would be saved from worry and want

The next morning was the Same.
Dorothy sat motionless, looking in the
eyes Of the by this time besotted youth
lovelier than ever. As a matter Of fact.
the lack of her morning coffee had given
the girl a headache, while the lack OF
other food made her savage and mis-
cradle.
At last came a crisis Just as the
waiter passed through with his Last
call for breakfast in the dining carr
the train stopped, not at a station. but
out in a field. After ten minutes had
crept by without sign of movement.
Howard. who had been waiting for
breakfast as he had waited for dinner,
went out to investigate. Soon he came
back and went straight up TO Dorothy
with determination in his eyes. Il beg
your pardon" he said. with a compo-
sure that astonished himself. but we
have been stopped by a wreck across
the track and will be delayed at least
six hours. They are going to cut Off
the diner and send it back as soon as
breakfast is over If you want any
thing to eat you had better get it now,

Six hours longer. The teafs came
into Dorothy's eyes. and her lids quiv-
cred pathetically. How could she bear
it? Thank YOU" she said as bravely
as she could "Thank you. But I'm
not hungry"
Not hungry. Howard stared at her
incredulously. To his certain knowl-
edge she had eaten nothing for twen-
ty-four hours. Not hungry The thing
was preposterous. He glanced at her
white cheeks. then with sudden suspi-
cion at her pocketbook. 81 haven't had
breakfast myself yet" he said. Wont
you take pity on me and be my guest?
/ can't bear to eat alone"
For an instant the girl gazed at him
while a mist swan before her eyes.
'Thank you so much" she said num-
bly,. IL lost all my money over

bride refiectively. "Just TO think" he
said softly, "if l hadn't spoken TO you
