Modern School VS. Old School.

Of course, whatever may be estab-
lished with reference to the intel
lectual product of the old schools of
former days, a door will still be open
for those who mourn the decline of
morals and the disappearance of ''old-
fashioned honesty from the land
Just now we are right in the midst of
lamentations of this sort. Those who
incline to optimism have newspapers
and frenzied magazines thrust before
their eyes to be converted by reports
of Investigations into various forms
of graft" We are told that men oc-
cupying positions of trust and honor
have been found wanting in the virtues
which are the very root of manli-
ness and righteousness. All these
things are true, alas! But are they
the products of the modern school?
Look at the men at whom an indig-
nant public is pointing the finger of
scorn. Their hair is white, their
eyes have long lost the brightness Of
youth, their step is lettering; they
were trained in the thorough"
schools of the past, where the school
masters word was law, where
'Iickin' and larnin' went hand-in-
hand, where the three RS were the
supreme anxiety. The investigators
of these men who have brought dis
grace upon this country-they are the
products of the modern school.
Philadelphia was redeemed from po-
litical slavery by the young men of
the city. Almost everywhere the war
fare upon graft has had its begin
ming in the ranks of young men, most
of them graduated from college within
the last ten or twelve years. These
young men had ideals and could not

A FINE SIGHT.

There are pretty bits Of landscape
That enrapture all who see.
There's the mountain and the river
And the old majestic tree;
There are cool and shady corners,
Where the sunlight filters through,
But the dollar Of our daddies
Makes the most attractive view.
There are large and ancient pictures
At which connoisseurs throw fits,
There are others quite as pretty
That you buy for just two bits;
There are photographs of ladies
Who amuse US in the plays,
But the dollar of the daddies
Has them all skinned forty ways
There are pretty girls in plenty,
Blond, brunette and extra pale;
Likewise many handsome babies,
If their mothers tell the tale;
There are scattered through the coun
try
Here and there some nobby gents,
But the dollar of the daddies
Makes them look like thirty cents.
Yes; we bow to King Mazuma
AS he sits upon his throne,
For, while others may have merit,
He is in class alone;
Others may have fair proportions,
But they do not win the prize,
But the dollar of the daddies
Is a sight that rests the eyes.

WOnnan'S Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life Is to
DO childleSs. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment in the eyes
Of such childless couple when they rest
on the children Of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means Of
restoring health and fruitfulneSs to many
. barren woman, to the great JOY of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, y. Y, over which
Dr.. Pierce of the vFavorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
lI1udluuldOlUn anu Q0-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the "Favorite Prescription"
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on MGteTiG NedicG of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Fayorite Prescription Is
made will bear the most careful exam
nation.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.
