Illness, and perhaps even my Iife."
Mrs. q. Edw. Peterson.
- The grip, be the case mild or stub
born, is always loaded with serious
and sad consequences. In its first
stage, it is only cold or cough; in
its progressive stage, pains in the
lungs, racking cough, weakness, loss
of flesh, sh0rtness Of breath and
loss of sleep have made themselves
known; in its critical stage, pneu-
monia and consumption have been
developed; and in its closing stage,
all hope Of a cure is lost in death.

An Appeal to the Sheriff.

When Senator Joe Blackburn was a
struggling young lawyer, as all really
great statesmen must have been at
some stage in their career, he was
called upon to defend a negro charged
with murder. Mr.. Blackburn did the
best he could-made an impassioned
address to the jury and all that sort Of
thing-but the defendant was SEN
fenced to pay the extreme penalty.
Mr. Blackburn was then taking his
nrst dip into politics, running for some
small local office. He had hard time
getting people to attend the meetings
at which he was advertised to speak.
and luck generally appeared to be
against him. Well, hanging day came
and the doomed man was told that he
would have fifteen minutes In which
to say his last words. Mr.. Blackburn
accompanied the man TO the scaffold,
and as his eyes wandered over the
several hundred of his fellow citizens
who had come to witness the spec.
tacle-more than he could ever hope
to attract by his own eloquence-his
brain was lit up by fash Of genius.
He had a few hurried words with his
client. In which he painted the waste
Of words II would be for the unfortun-
ate man to talk at such time and
impressed upon him what godsend
the opportunity to make a speech
would be to him, Blackburn. The
negro somewhat reluctantly agreed to
let him go ahead Thereupon, much
to the surprise Of the auditors, Mr.
Blackburn launched into an effort on
the issues Of the hour. He was pro-
ceedng to his own entire satisfaction
when he felt a tugglng at his coat
tails. Glancing around he encounter

Lest They Catch Cold.

An incident of the royal visit to
Chatsworth is worthy of permanent
record. The Kink was given as a
guard of honor at Rowsley Station
fifty men of the volunteer battalions
of Derbyshre. His Majesty inspected
the rank and file in company with the
Duke of Devonshire, and, after com
pleting the circle round the men, the
King delivered short address, which
all could plainly hear. His Majesty
congratulated the men on their smart
appearance, and said he was specially
pleased to see that a number of them
had done service for their King and
country in the recent war In South
Africa. Then, turning to the officer
commanding, the King asked II the
men had overcoats. The reply was In
the affirmative. with the additional re-
mark that they were not wearing them
because 1t WAS thought they would
look smarter. His Majesty's reply
was, Give an order for the men to
have their overcoats at once. don't
want them to catch cold" The air
was very raw, chilly and damp at the
time.-London Times.

Il want each of you to think Of some

to be like the particular one you are
thinking about, and make the same

low was sitting perfectly still, appa'

the rest. The teacher, observing him

Buy at Home.

One Of the big mail order houses
recently sent us their catalogues.
We don't know why they did.
Probably because they send them to
everybody, and we are somebody
after fashion. A business man
came in to get our prices OH a Job
OF 500 note heads, and laid a price
list from printing firm in Norwalk,
Ohio. to show us how cheap he
could get them there. He could
save 35 cents OH the order, pay rs
cents express, and be ten cents
ahead OF the game, but what an in
terior grade of paper, and decidedly
cheap work. We had just told him
that probably he needed that ten
cents, and he had better send away
Tor his work, when his eyes rested
on the catalogue from Cut & Cash
uin, OF Chicago. so, that is where
you get your goods is il?" he asked.
We'll, it does seem to me that
people in this town ought to pat
ronize home merchants. We pay
taxes, rents and insurance here,
and help to build up the town, and
., Is dissouraging to have people
right here under our nose send
away for goods. Well, I'd like to
give you this order. but of course,
II you can't meet the prices from
elsewhere III have to send it where
can get it the cheapest This
mail order business is making hard
times for us all" And the funny
part of it is, that that man did not
see the inconsistency of his position.
Rather than buy goods from a
merchant in another line, in the
same town he sends to mail order
house himself for what he does not
carry i'll stock, and claims a deal
er's discount. Ifhe saves up a few
hundred dollars he buys lots in
North Orange, Buffalo, with it, and
when that land boom falls through
he is man and talks poverty and
growls about people sending their
money away. The fact is that
everybody ought to trade at
home, and invest their money at
home, and this applies to the mer-
chant just as much as it does to the
armer.-DHSh0re Re1iew.

YER BA MATE.
The Parasuayan Substitute for Tea
and Coffee.

ana COIIee.
What tea is to the Englishman and
coffee to the American, yerba mate is
to the native of Paraguay. lerba mate
is an infusion of the dried and pow
dored leaves of the species of holly
tree that grows in Paraguay, and for
centuries it has been the national bov-
erage OF the countries of South Amer
ica, while in Paraguay and Argentina
it forms the sole stimulant of the
working classes. 1t is usually drunk
as a very hot infusion through metal
tube, but it can be taken as we take
our tea or coffee, with milk and sugar.
Most people, however, acquire the
native habit and prefer to drink it
without admiXture. So prepared it is
very bitter, but those who drink it
soon learn to consider it an agree
able and palatable beverage, Some
natives drink it as an infusion made
with cold water, and it is then known
by the name of "terere." The working
classes especially favor "terere." The
the stimulating and sustaining fleets
Workmen carry the drink with them
wherever they go, and from time to
time take sips of it, and seem as a
result to be infused with a degree of
energy not usually credited to the
South American. Woodcutters will
start work at daybreak, and go on
seemingly without fatigue until the
midday meal, five or six hours later;
and this midday meal is the first solid
food eaten so long as they can get
mate
Those who have investigated the
properties of mate say that the inyig-
Grating and sustaining powers are diff
ferent in character from those of
either tea, coffee or cocoa Taken as
a stimulant for night or for prolonged
brain work, II is said to convey an
energy and a sensation of lightness
that make duty real pleasure. The
peculiar feature of such a result is
that analysis shows nothing in the
drink to account for II. The percent
age of caffeine and the amount Of vola-
tile oil are very much less than that
contained in tea and coffee, and none
of the unpleasant effects that follow
the excessive use of either of the lat
ter beverages seem to attend the i'm
moderate use of mate. In rare in
stances very nervous individuals and
those suffering from nervous prostra-
tion find their symptoms aggravated
