The association has only done what

is that intemperance makes the

that a man of Incorporate habits is

than a man of good aud clean

another instance of the general
sentiment. The Incorporate man
by his indulgencies excludes him

A Missouri paper tells this mean
one. A farmer kept a blind mare
in a pasture where there was an
open well from which the water
was drawn with a rope and bucket
The old mare wore a big cowbell
to keep the farmer apprized of her
whereabouts. One day when water
ing the mare the bucket fell into
the we'll. There was no way to re-
cover it but to climb down the
curbiig, which the farmer proceed
ed to do, first driving the mare to a
far corner Of the pasture to keep
her from falling in on top of him.
A neighbor VINO saw the proceed.
ing waited until the farmer dis
appeared down the we'll aud then
taking the bell off the mares neck
approached the well gently ringing
it. The farmer hearing the bell
commenced to scramble for the
top, shouting "Whoa, Nance i"
at every scramble and expecting
the old blind critter to tumble in
on him every second. The fellow
with the bell kicked a little dirt
down on the farmer, and his yells
to old Nance could have been heard
a mile. He finally reached the
top where he discoyered the joker
and then the iight began.

Lines on The Death of a Child.
WRITTEN FOR THE MESSAGE.

lin memory of Ray Moss who was killed in the cyclone at Spy
ahoma May TO- 1905 Family well remembered in Mexico vicn
Twas glorious May morning,
All the land was bright and fair
With its myrads of flowers,
Fragrance hoated everywhere.
While the air filled with music
From the wild birds sil'vry lay
OH they dreamed not of the sorrow
That would close that happy day
In the mist of peace and comfort,
In the home they loved so dear,
Not whisper came to warn them
or the danger drawing near
On it came like great monster
With its scorchng, seehing breath,
Telling all within its pathway,
Bringing ruin, pain and death
1t was DER, that night of horror
And another morn had come
From a distant field of duty
Tommie came; but, ah, the hOme
Home no longer desolaon
Met him. All was swept away.
Gazing on his wounded loved ones,
Fearfuly he asked for Ray.
Ray, all, yesl Where was the brotherG
Was it death, that cold still formH
Were the dear lips closed forever
BY the fury of that storm2
No. the gate of HeaYon had open'd
Suddenly and let him in;
In that world Of joy and sunshine,
Free from storms, from and sin
Father, mother, sister, brothers,
Would that could say or do
Something to aay your sorrow
Something that would comfort YOU
But the true and only Soace,
That in grief like yours is given,
Cometh from the Book of Promise
Issues from the fount of Heaven.
When the new home is erected
When the famy's gather there
They will miss his sunny presence
In the sacred hour of prayer
Morning and and night they'll miss him,
And will call his in vain,
They will listen for the footsteps
That will never come again.
Tomme says, 1T seems strange that
was left and he must go,
He, so bright, good, so noble,
Everybody loved him So"
Ray ready, Jesus knew it,
And across the Jasper Sea-
He is waiting for his loved ones
What meeting there will be-

WHY We RECOMMEND ORRIKE
TO CURE DRUNKENNESS.

In taking the agency for Orrine, the
liquor habit cure, we thoroughly salts
fled ourselves that 1t was an article Of
genuine merit, and that the company
which is located i'm Washington, ID. c.,
deals squarely and lives up strictly to the
guarantee. IF the cure is not made the
money will be refunded"
Since selling Orrine numerous cases
have come to our knowledge that have
been cured of the horrible liquor habit
by this meritorious article, which
strengthens the nervous system and de-
stroys the craving for whiskey. beer or
other alcoholic stimulants. Orrine is pre-
pared In two forms. No should be
given TO cure the patient without his
knowledge. Ii can be put into coffee or
food, as 1t is tasteless, colorless and odor-
less.
We think that when the excessive
drinker is approached properly he will be
willing to be cured If he consents, pur-
chase Orrine No. 2, which Is put up in
pill form. Either form sells at 81 per
package Step into our store and receive
full information regarding Orrine, the
remedy that really cures the liquor habit
II you will write to the Orrine Company
Inc, Washington, ID. c.. they will send
you free a book on Drunkenness" In a
plain paper wrapper,
We have great confidence that Orrine
cures the drink habit, and highly recon-
mend 1t to you.
