THE CHRISTIAN.

To be a Christian we must think of
the other man, offer our sociability and
make the world a happier place to live
in, be open eyed to see the needs of
men and be a reformer on their be-
half; think for others, do for others
even to the degree of doing when it
costs sweat and blood. That is what
Washington and Lincoln, Garrison and
Wendell Phillips. did. The great and
the good in all other realms outside
of religion have been those who have
thought and wrought for other men.

It is not mere knowledge that saves

modelled after the great pattern, Jesus

a character that is fashioned by doing

TOOK A STRAW VOTE,
interesting Experiment in a Restaur-
ant.

An advertising agent representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on recent western trip, was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no.
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's s
Dyspepsia Tablets. AS he himself
was regular user Of the tablets. he
began speculating as to how many of
the other travelling men in the dining
room were also friends of the popular
remedy for indigestion.
He says: | counted twenty-tilree men
at the tables and in the hotel office I
took the trouble to interview them and
Was surprised to learn that nine Of the
tWentv-three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal.
one OF them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road, but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from indigestion, but he continued
their use, especially while travelling, on
because like all travelling men he was
often obliged to eat what he could get
and not always what he wanted.
Another. who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate meal with
out taking a Stuart's Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear of a
s.eepless night or any other trouble.
StiIl another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus ing
pressure on heart and lungs, shortness
of breath and distress in chest, which
he no longer experienced since using
the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach ana acidity. He had formerly
used common soda to relieve the
trouble. but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken the digestive Or
Gar.s, nothing restores the stomach to a
healthy. wholesome condition so ef-
fectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin, diastase
which every weak stomach lacks. as
we'll as nux. hydrastin and yellow
parilla, and can be safely relied on as
radical cure for every form Of moor
digestion. So.- by druggists every

Airs. III. Wrigh

Mrs. Pinlsham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by q
arrangement of the female organism
and which. while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinar. indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not on V acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound aftcr every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years | suffered with dyspepsia
which so degeneIated my entire system that
was unable to attend 10 my daily duties
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in INV
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. ] was adj
vised to give Lydia T.. Pinllhaln'S Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic and III q
few days began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. NY recovery was rapid. and in
ommended it to many suffering Women"
No other medicine III the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fled endorsement. or has such record of
cures of female troubles. as has lydia

The Democratic Caucus.

City Opera house, Saturday night to
choose their candidate for mayor, with
the result that DR.. f. l.. Jones was
chosen. The program was very simple
and carried out quickly and promptly.
Hon. c. +. Johnson. although he had
had no intentions of representing the
party as their leader in the campaign,
was nevertheless looked upon as a pos
sIbIe candidate. DR.. Jones. on the other
hand. had had no reason to expect his
nomination before the caucus had be-
gun to assemble and was equally as
enthusiastic for the nomination of Mr..
Johnson as any of the rest of the lat

tee. with Dennis f. Bowman, Esq,
chairman, selected the name of DR.. f.
l.. Jones. and their choice was con-
frmed by the unanimous vote of the
