up:

Hoch expressed great surprise at the
hnding Of the jury, and declared that
the jurors did not take timel to con-
slider the evidence.
The evidence was all circumstancial, .
he said, and my life was guessed away
by the jury, which did not give sufficient
consideration to the testimony offered.

better chance. But there is no use in

Save IL Your Paint Bills

BY using Weir's Bavarlan White
Lead, the most durable and therefore
the most economical lead or paint
made. 1t has zinc in it. The zinc
gives the paint beautiful gloss and
prevents the lead from destroying the
LINsEED OIL WHICH is THE LIFE OF
ALL PAINT. "Pure Lead" by itself
will eat and destroy the linseed oil,
thus causing the paint to become
porous or open and dust off. Weir's
Bavarian White Lead is better and
cheaper than mixed paints because
one-half of every gallon of mixed
paint is linseed oil for which you pay
81. 80 per gallon and get an old, stale,
unsound linseed oil. Buy fresh oil
from your dealers barrel at its true
value, 4 IL gallons linseed oil and
100 pounds of Weir's Lead will make
6 12 gallons best paint ready to use,
that will cost you no more than other
standard brands of lead and much
less than mixed paint and will last
twice as long as either. Write d. T.

When Uncle Wesley Prayed.

Ire felt a strange, wondcrous power

when'ere he knelt TO pray.

In full redemption glorious plan
When Uncle Wesley prayed.
Redeeming grace aud dying love
On Cavalry displayed,
A risen Lord. an open grave,
When Uucle Wesley prayed.
God the Judge, upon His throne,
The Saints in White arrayed
With songs, shouts in thunder tones,
Seemed near Us as he prayed.
And souls bowed down by sin and
guilt,
In penitencc we're swayed
And made 70 plead the blood once
split,
When Uncle Wesley prayed.
A holy hush fell on the throug,
Earth's sorrows fed away
Aud In the heart arose a song,
When Uncle Wesley prayed.
He used no vain or glittering word
Nor fastering speech in prayer,
But plead the merits Of bis Lord
And God came very near.
The Holy Ghost our hearts would
melt
When'ere he offered prayer,
The jos Of Heaven by all was felt
For Heaven was everywhere.
On wings Of faith our souls would
rise
And see those now arrayed
In robes Of victory through the skies,
When Uncle Wesley prayed.

days

His wonderous prayers have turned

Who walks in Christ, the way,

The Popitive Life.

The only effective way Of repelllnS
the advances Of error and evil in the
soul, is to possess q real positive life.
The Apostle Jude gives us the golden
secret of this effectiveness when he
says, But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith,
and praying in the Holy Ghost, keep
yourselves in the love Of God"
The whole point Of this exhortation
is gained when the context is studied.
The evil men and seducers, who a
"crept in unaWares," and were like
hidden rocks" (R. W in the Church,
proved their wickedness by making
separations, being sensual, and having
not the Spirit. The way to meet these
men, says the Apostle, and to guard
ones self against them, is to keep
in tine love of God, as in a fortress, or
an atmosphere. While abiding there,
it is impossible for error or evil to
touch the soul.
This positive note is especially need
ed today, when the most %insidious at
tempts are being made to ruin the
faith, especially of the young. When
once a Christian can be induced to
leave his true atmosphere, and to deal
with the foe in his own strength, he is
doomed to be vanquished, But If he
keeps in the love Of God, he remains
where no shaft Of evil or error a
touch lim.-London Christian.

The Surprises of Life.

The surprise of life always comes in
finding how we have missed the things
that have lain nearest to us; how We
have gone far away to seek that which
was close by our side all the time.
Men who live best and longest are apt
to come, as the result of their living, to
the conviction that life is not only rich.
en- but simpler than it seemed to them
at first. Men go to vast labor seeking
after peace and happiness. It seems
to them as if it were far away from
them, as if they must go through vast
and strange regions to get it. They
must pile up wealth, they must see
every possible danger OF mishap guard
ed against, before they can have peace.
Upon how many old men has it come
with 4 strange surprise that peace
should come to rich Or poor only with
contentment, and that they might as
well have been content at the very end
of. life! They have made a long jour.
ncy for their treasure, and when at last
they stoop to pick it up, 10! it is shin
ing close beside the footprint which
they left when they set out to travel
in o circle.-Phillips Brooks.

Mrs. lima Potts

Frequent backache and distressing
pains, accompanied by offensive dis
charges and generally by irregular
and'scanty m~enstruation indicate a dis.
placement or nerve degeneration OF
the womb and surrounding organs.
The question that troubles women
is how can a woman who has some fe-
male trouble bear healthy children?
Mrs. Anna Potts, Of $40 Park Avenue,
Hot Springs, Ark, writes:
My Dear Mrs. Pinkham:- ..,
"During the early part Of my married life I
wa delicate in health both my husband and
; I were very anxious for a child. to bless our
home, but / had two miscarriages, and could
not carry @ child to maturity. a neighbor
who had been cured by Lydia E.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound advised me to try It.. l
did so and soon felt that l was growing
stronger, my headaches and backaches lett
me, I bad no more b~earing-down pains, and
felt like a new woman. Within a year l
became the mother of q strong, healthy
child, the joy Of our home. Lydia E. Pink
hau's Vegetable Compound is certainly a
splendid remedy, and I wish every. woman
who wants to become q mother would uylt."
Actual sterility in woman is very
rare. If any woman thinks she is ster-
lie, let her try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and write to Mrs.
Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. Her advice is
free to expectant or would-be mothers.
