just 26 years ago the eth of last
March, DR.. Lewis graduated from one
of the best Medical Colleges in this
country. Since that time he has had
much experience in the treatment
of coughs and colds, and he has found
nothing that equals the preparation
which we are putting up under the
name of "Dr. Lewis Cough Cure y
Formerly he charged so cents for the
prescription and then you had to pay
a like sum to have the druggist fill
it. Now you can get it for % and
so cents and save the physicians
charges. It's clear saving of half.
We sell Watches, Clocks, Silverware
and Jewellery Of the highest quality
at the lowest prices. Anyway costs
you nothing to come in and look.
We keep nice French China in a
large variety Of patterns. Always buy
staple goods and shun trash.

The Mistakes of the Past Year.

The preachers tell us that every
good Christian should have his per-
iods of self-examination, when he
sits down alone and has session with
himself, regards himself as another
person whose conduct must be criti-
cised not unkindly but honestly,
taking into account all the circum-
stances and all the various motives
that may have influenced him to GER
tain things. He should determine
whether he is really a thinking, self
governing man, or whether he is
swayed by outside influences, the
creature of circumstances; and II the
latter, he should brace up and live a
decent, Christian life.
Just SO every farmer sometimes
during the years, and these beginning
days of winter are as good as any,
should have period of self-examina-
tion, look back over his operations
Of the last year, see wherin he has
failed, see whether the failure comes
from his own mistakes, or whether
they are inevitable, as some failures
are. II they came through his own
lack of foresight or knowledge, then
he should not worry over them lit is
seldom that time can be more un.
profitably spent than in crying over
spilled milky, but take measures tc
avoid similar ones in the future.
Did he lose corn crop from failure
to prepare proper seed bed, OF
through selecting the wrong kind OF
seed, or seed that lacked terminating
qualities: Did he have poor stand
because he did not coordinate hi:
brains, his seed, and his planter
Did he fail through lack of proper
cultivation; or did his failure come
because OF hail storms or cloud burst.
or some other act Of Providence i'm
possible to foresee?
Has he poor lot Of calves thi!
year because he bought cheap and
nasty bull year ago under the i'm
preston that he could not afford tt
buy good one? Has he allowed con
tagious abortion TO spread among hi,
cattle?

The Year lDO5.

passed into history and the record
| for 1906 has commenced. The tre-
mendous events Of the year just closed
include the ending of the most
StupendouS war OF our times, the rise
Of Japan to the position Of great
power, an equal ally with Great
Britain in matchless collation. for
the policing of the seas: the disap-
pearance of Korea as nation: the
, fall of autocracy in Russia and the
opening Of a struggle between the
classes and the masses which may yet
divide with the French revolution
the horror and the admiration of the
world. Norway has thrown off its
connection with Sweden and set up
business as an individual kingdom;
France has finally and completed
divorced church and state: thruout
Europe there has been perceptible
strengthening of the bonds OF con-
stitutionalism. No land except Tur-
key finds itself in the same condition
in which it began the year. There is
no evidence of change Of policy or OF
the mode of thinking in that land of
faith without practice, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
Our own country has witnessed
some remarkable developments. The
Russo j apanese war thrust America
into the position of practically the
only possible arbiter between the con-
tending forces. With splendid sue
cess President Roosevelt enacted the
difficult role American destiny as
signed him, and without treaty or
alliance the United States became at
once the advisor and the friend of all
the so-called great powers of Europe
and Asia
While this evolution was coming to
it's climax the people Of their country
were cleaning house preparatory to
acting we'll it's part before the nations
of the earth. Without any question
the most moral elevation Of senti-
ment America has experienced since
the civil war found expression in the
elections of last November. The
trend which had been given to the
thought of the people by a few moral
leaders was logically made active in
the voting. Politics forgotten and
party lost sight of the issue OF moral
regeneration took possession, OF the
people, in some parts OF the country
with frenzy, in Others with a sober,
silent earnestness, but everywhere
with determination to make an end
of graft politics and to return the
government to the puposes for which
it was designed-the promotion OF the
general welfare. The sodden politics
Of twenty years was swept out OF the
great cities and the states which had
been most submissive TO the boss
lash were the most emphatic in their
rejection of the system.
The wave of reform found many
politicians of the old school utterly
unprepared. The blast was upon
them before they could shorten sail,
but even had they been warned no
measures born of skill could have
availed. The storm was too master
full for temporizing opposition.
The outlook for the future politics
of the country has been magnificently
cleared by the typhoon of November.
The year has not brought to America
a battle of bullets as it has to Russia
but it brought battle no less signi-
ficant

Palma Anderson Concert.

One of the most delightful concerts
ever given in Canton took place last
Friday evening in the presence OF a
large and an appreciative audience Of
music lovers. Miss Anderson always
an excellent pianist, showed Won
derful progress after her study abroad
and now with her-studies and work
in Stanley Hall, she comes back to us
a finished and perfect master Of the
keyboard, whose playing Friday even
ing was marvel of execution. She
won the heartiest appreciation from
all and responded to the enthusiastic
applause that greeted each number.
Her modesty and simplicity on the
platform is one of her sweetest
charms. She is wholly without stage
effect and acknowledges artistic COM
pliments with smile that Is delight
full and natural. She has won high
rank in the musical world and she
has thus won honor through hard and
continuous study at home and abroad,
She loves music-its her ambition.
Miss Anderson was anticipating the
pleasure of joint concert with Miss
Olivia Dahl, but this pleasure was
denied her through the sickness OF
the famous singer.
Miss Helen Patterson, noted
vioIinist OF Sioux Falls, and teacher
in All Saints, assisted Miss Anderson
In the program, and Miss Patterson
won the hearts of the audience by
her marvellous violin work. She came
in for full measure of the hearty
appreciation of that critical audience

MARCH,.

The hills lye painting in the MONDAY sum-
But frozen lie beneath the midnight blast,
Now southern breezes gently toss the boughs,
Now clouds of snow and seet gofying past
The mellow morning gilds the dormant mead
And wakes the brooks to melody again, So
The east winds, white and swift. shut off
their song,
And scatter myriad jewels in her train
And yet, old March, go buster as you will,
And strive to cheat us with your chang
ing moods.
Already April waits to take your place
And bring the fern and cowslip to the woods.
And So faint heart remember in the storms
That it was ever thus, through all the years,
That storms must come before we joy in calms
And brighter blossoms grow from April's
tears.-/hHa Butler B070man.

THE WOODS IN MARCH.

The woods are still sleeping,
But grass is a-peeping
Out from under the snow;
The swallows are coming,
The bees are a-humming,
The sap has begun to flow.
The buds that were hidden
In brown coats are hidden
To break and let the world know;
The Ice King is quaking
And springtme is breaking
For sap has begun to flow. IT

INDIA GOOD MOTOR FIELD
Time Ripe for introduction Of Ameri
can MISUNDERSTANDING in
Western AustraIia-StraW-
Hat Making.

BOMBAY.
India is rapidly taking leading
place in the exploitation of the motor
industry in foreign lands. 1t is worth
the careful attention and thorough in
vestigation of American manufactur-
ers who are seeking to enlarge their
markets. The present time is an I'M
usually good one for them to find out
what the peculiar and special needs
Of the country are and what their
competitors are doing to capture and
hold the increasingly valuable trade.
Reliability trials are to be held at
Mysore, in southern India, during the
Christmas holidays. These will be
followed by a general motor exhibit
ton at Calcutta from January Fl to
January 80, at which all the leading
European manufacturers will be rep
resented.
The value of the trade is seen from
the official statement that the motor
cars, motorcycles, and cycles i'm
ported during the last fiscal year
amounted to approximately 100000,
of which one-half was through the
port of Bombay, the supply mart of
western India. Accessories, which
are classified under different headings,
add to this total, while fuel and lubri-
eating oils have had largely increased
become popularized.
One cause of the popularity of the
motor in India is the number and
| the extent of good roads, some OF
them hundreds of miles in length, A
perfect highway runs from Bombay
to Delhi, 900 miles, over which the
| trials were made in 1904.
From Peshawar, farther north at
the frontier of Afghanistan, fine
road extends all the way to Calcutta
a distance of 1900 miles. These and
| similar roads are known as the grand
| trunks. and were built and maintained
as military highways before the ad
vent of the railways. They are KEEP
in a perfect state of repair
| The high-class and high-priced cars
which in any country must be con
sidered as Injuries have found thei
best customers among the native
rulers, whose example has been fol
lowed by the rich Parsee merchants
and financiers of Bombay, and in ;
modest degree by some of the Officials
of the Indian government. Gradual.
the use of motors has spread unit
they have ceased to be looked upol
as Injuries, and are now regarded a
necessities by growing number o
persons who are able to invest from
$1,000 up to $4,000 in a motor vehicle
At first 1t was found necessary to EN-
ploy European chauffeurs, and thi
is still done by the owners of the fin
est machines, but it is now possfbl
to obtain competent native chauffeur
at very moderate wages.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are a Specific for Dangerous
PHYSICAL Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing i'll the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful-
ness caused by inability TIC stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
,overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri.
ton due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally loss of
appetite and coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula M. Metzger, stenographer,
living at II Mill street, Watertown, w,

debility. 'It was caused by overstudy, y
