Some people act like tonic or an
invigorating and refreshing breeze.
They make us feel like new beings.
Under the inspiration of their pres
ence we can say and do things which
it would be impossible for us to say
and do under different conditions.
One stimulates my thought, quickens
my faculties. sharpens my intellect,
while another dampens my enthusi-
asm, closes the door of expansion, and
chills me to the very center of my be-
ing. There emanates from him an at
mosphere which paTalyzes thought,
dwarfs expression.

Warsaw a Milk Town.

The town of Warsaw may be called
the milk producers Eden, although
the milk consumers Eden it certainly
is not. There is probably nowhere
such milk town as this. Res
taurants are little frequented. On the
other hand, the public frequent the
various diaries in great numbers in
order to chat with friends or read the
newspapers, to the accompaniment of
a black or white coffee or glass of
cold or warm milk.

Pe.ru.na for Colds and Catarrh.
The following interesting letter gives
one young woman's experience with
Peruna.
Miss Rose Gerbing, popular society
woman of Crown Point, Ind, writes:
Recently l took long drive in the
country, and being too thinly clad
caught bad cold which settled on my
lungs, and which could not seem to

Gerbing.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used airy length of time without ac-
quiring drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t Is perma-
nent in its effect
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
a multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any drugs of mar
cotic nature.

afterward explained that he was afraid
to carry 1t In his hand. for fear he
might become insensible and lose 1t.
They then wandered from the camp
and finally, all but Saidu lay down In
the shade Of high mound to die.
Saidu struggled on the whole day, but
must have become delirious, for he re-
membered nothing till he regained con-
sciousness for time by stumbling into
a pool Of water On coming to again
he found himself being carried on a
mans back to Chakansur. He had
been discovered by some villagers, and,
as In the case Of the three guides, his
life was saved with difficulty.
The Afghan authorities sent out
search parties with water, and even
tually recovered the bodies OF Mohi-
nd d-din and the three subsurveyors, to-
gether with the camp kit. The bodies
were reverently inferred by the At
ghans at the shrine Of Amiran, place
of peculiar sanctity as Amiran is said
to have been a first cousin Of the
prophet. Mohi-ud- -din's death, although
brought on perhaps by too venturesome
a disregard Of danger, was conspic-
uous instance Of the devotion met with
in the native ranks of the Indian sur
vey department, and 1t is gratifying
to learn that a fitting reward has been
accorded to the faithful Saldu.-Lon-
don Times.

The Past and the Future.

You may not know a great deal
about what the future of an individual
or corporation will be but If you have
any faith In any promises that your
neighbor or a corporation may make
you is 1t not based on your knowledge
of that neighbor's or corporations past
record for honest, clean, dealing with
yourself and others? Is there any way
tc Judge the future except by the past?
While there are in the neighborhood
of 100 life insurance companies doing,
or trying to do, business In the United
States today on the old line, legal re-
serve plan there Is not one that has
as long and clean a record for fair,
honest dealing with every policy hold
er as has the Mutual Benefit, and al
though old in years 1t Is the youngest
of all the companies when 1t comes TO
modern methods. 1t adheres to Its
original principle Of doing business,
because the management has always
kept In sight the fact that business
principles are the same today as before
the flood-they never change. No COM
pany has ever yet been competitor
of the Mutual Benefit In the matter OF
low cost for gilt edge Life Insurance.
A careful investigation will convince
you Of this fact. Don't insure In
company that has no past-and clean
one at that. The future OF a company
without a past may be very short
not long enough to be able to hand a
check for the face Of your policy to
your widow and orphans. Scores OF
! legal reserve companies have died
young, but not one has ever yet died
after reaching the age Of 80 years. The
Mutual Benefit was go years old last
January. Look before you leap. The
| other fellow will urge you not to look,
but always bear in mind that 1t Is pos
sibly his interest and not yours that
he Is looking after.

MAN AND GOD.
(From "The Essay on Man." by Ale
ander Pope.)

(From "The Essay on Man." by Alex
ander Pope)
Heav'n from all creatures hides the
Book Of Fate
All but the page prescrib'd, their pres
ent state;
what spirits know,
Or who could suffer being here below?
The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-
Had he thy reason would he skip and
play?
Pleas'd to the last, he crops the flow'ry
And licks the hand just rais'd to shed
his blood.
o blindness to the future, kindly giv'n
That each may fill the circle marked
by Heav'n;
Who sees with equal eye, as God Of all,
A hero perish or a sparrow fall;
Atoms or systems into ruin hurpd,
And now a bubble burst and now a
world.
Hope humbly, then. with trembling
pinions soar;
Wait the great teacher Death and God
adore,
What future bliss He gives not thee to
But gives that Hope to be thy blessing
now.
Hope springs eternal in the human
breast
Man never is, but always to be blest;
The soul. uneasy and confined from
home,
Rests and expatiates In a life to come.
Lo! the poor Indian whose untutord
mind
Sees God in clouds and hears Him in
the wind;
His soul. proud Science never taught
to stray .....- -.
Far as the solar walk or Milky Way:
Yet simple Nature to his hope has giv'a
Behind the cloud-topp'd hill a humb-
ler heav'n-
Some safer world in depth of woods
embraced,
Some happier island in the wat'ry
waste.
Where slaves once more their native
land behold,
No fiends torment nor Christians thirst
for gold.
To be content his natural desire;
He asks no angels wing, no seraph's
fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky
His faithful dog shall bear him COM
pany.
Go, wiser thou! and in thy scale OF
sense
Weigh thy opinion against Provi-
dence-
Call imperfectlon what thou fanciest
such;
Say, here he gives too little. there too
much;
Destroy all creatures for any sport or
lust;
Yet cry. If Mans unhappy. Gods un-
just!
If man alone engross not Heav'n's
high care,
Alone made perfect here immortal
Snatch from His hand the balance OF
the rod;
Rejudge His justice-be the god OF
God!
In Pride-unreasoning Pride-our err
ror lies:
All quit their sphere and rush into the
skies;
Pride still is aiming at the blest
abodes-
Men would be angels; angels would be
gods.
Aspiring to be gods, the angels fell;
Aspiring to be angels, men rebel;
And who but wishes to revert the laws
Or Order sins against tn Eternal
Cause.

CASE DIAGNOSED AT ONcE.-One OF
Americans greatest physicians was
called to the bedside of grand dame
of distinguished name and many mil
lions, who Is a leader Of American So
ciety, says the Chicago Chronicle But
now the grand dame groaned and
grunted in her silken bed like any
washerwoman. The physician exam
ined her carefully. Then he said:
you must get up every morning al
o'clock, take for breakfast cup oi
weak tea and two pieces of dry toast
From 8 to IL exercise, either walking
or sweeping or busting. At noon lunch
on a slice Of cold meat, filtered water
and stale bread. Don't sleep In the
afternoon, exercise again. For dinner
take nothing but little meat, a vege-
table and toast. No sweets, no wines
no social dissipation Of any kind"
The eyes Of the grand dame flashed
fire as she said.
But, doctor, do you comprehend my
position? Do you know who l ann"
Perfectly, madam" answered the
physician. You are an old woman
with a sour stomach"

Self-Abasement.

A writer, telling THE Story Of Penn
sylvania," quotes the following anec-
dote concerning General Ogle, soldier
of much personal bravery and ability,
who won his spurs in the days OF An
drew Jackson, but whose education,
like that of many other pioneers OF the
western world, was not Of the highest
order. ..."
Ogie, when submitting a letter for
approval by the Pennsylvania legisla-
ture, which he had adressed on their
behalf to the president, General An
drew Jackson, was interrupted by a
dapper little fellow from Pennsylvania
thus:
Pardon me, general, do not wish
to presume to make a suggestion to SO
distinguished gentleman as yourself
but I cannot refrain from saying that
II Is customary in the east, and may
say in almost all the civilized countries
of Europe, to write with q capital T
instead OF a small T. in using this per-
sonaE pronoun in epistolary cores
pondenee."
General Ogle drew down his heavy
brows. piercing the dandy with fierce
shaft OF scorn that shot from his eye.
Sir" said he, beginning with hiss
and ending with a roar, when / write
to such a man as General Andrew
Jackson, Democratic president Of the
United States, abase myself abase
myself sir; 1 use as small an T. as
can put on paper. But, sir, II l should
ever get to such low pitch as to have
to write to such a whipper-snapper as
yourself I'd use an t. SIR, that would
fill two pages of foolscap.

A CASE OF PRoNoUNs.-Tommy Null
igan Of the seventh grade was absent
from the classroom for an entire day
says the Philadelphia Enquirer. II
would appear that he had played tru-
ant, for unknown to Tommy his teach
er had spied him trudging homewarc
with pockets bulging suspiciously wher
she too was homeward bound that af-
ternoon.
But Tommy brought a note OF ex-
cuse the next morning which of course
would prove that he had been detain-
ed at home legitimately. The writing
was hardly that Of a feminine hano
and the note appeared to have beer
written laboriously with much blotting
furthermore. the penmanship semed tc
be strangely familiar to his teacher
The note read as follows:
Dear teacher: Please excus Tony
for not comeing to school yestiddy, he
cudnot come l tore my pants.-Mrs

UNAPPRECIATED CoURAGE,-m the
Tennessee mountains lived little hun
ter named Hiram Gates. Although
small In size, Hiram was noted for his
bravery for miles around In that Sec
ton Of the country, where courage was
a common asset Once while hunting
he tracked a bear to a small cave
Now, a man hasn't one chance in
million fighting a bear in close quar-
ters, but this fact didn't deter Hiram
for a minute. Throwing down his gun
he put his knife between his teeth and
crawled into the dark hole after the
animal.
BY the greatest Of good fortune ne
succeeded in killing it, for the reason
that the cave was so small that the
bear couldn't turn around to defend
himself. Otherwise there probably
would have been a different story.
Hiram skinned the bear and ther
went home, where he explained the
manner Of the killing to his father
The old man listened quietly until the
tale came to an end and then, in high
pitch, quavering voice, said:
well, Hiram, like a brave man as
we'll as anybody, but you're an internal
fool!"

HE WAS A NORTHERN MANA man
from the north who recently visited
Washington became possessed of the
desire to visit Mount Vernon. Board
ing the electric train that runs from
the capital to the home of Washington
via Alexandria, the visitor had com
fortably ensconced himself in one OF
the rear seats of a compartment, when
the conductor raped him on the
shoulder, saying, Excuse me, but this
compartment is for colored men,"
This was the northerner's first ex-
perience in a Jim Crow" car. why
said he. surprised, "the seats forward
are all occupied"

CURED OF PEA SoUP.-The following
was frequently told by Capt. Martin
Burns of Bangor, Me, as one on him:
The captain was very fond of split
pea soup, and before leaving port he
always put in a good sized stock of
split peas. On this occasion. however,
his negro steward got whole peas, and
so the soup that the captain called for
on the first day was thrown away,
The next day pea soup was again
served. and this time the captain, af-
ter having eaten a hearty meal, said to
his steward: Steward, that's the kind
of soup l like; we'u have some more
Just like 1t tomorrow"
"Fo de Lawd's sake. cap'n." exclaim-
ed the steward, ma jaws am so tired
chewing dem whole peas dat All just
can't chew no mo-"
The captain never asked for pea
soup again.
