The TIME MASTERS.

The Chicago Journal finds that over
80 per cent Of the reading done in Chica-
90 is of the lightest, silliest form of
fiction: ssThe books of real worth &C
cumulate dust on the shelves. The
condition is true elsewhere. For years
the boy has been subject to criticism
because of the yellow backed novel, but
he doesn't do one-tenth as much read
ing as his sister, and the silly, romantic
stuff she reads is as harmful to the girl
as the yellow backed novel is to the
boy" The Journal adds:
"When Abraham Lincoln lay stretch
ed out on the floor of his fathers log
cabin, reading slowly and painfully by
the Pickering light of pine knot blaze.
he was not reading novels. Ii Ellhu
Burritt, the learned blacksmith had
devoted his few spare moments to read
ing novels he would not have mastered
eighteen languages while earning his
living at the forge. Watt would not
have taught himself chemistry and me-
chanics nor have learned German whild
he was working at his trade if he ha
given his time to fiction. Stephenson
inventor of the locomotive steam engine'
taught himself arithmetic and mensura-
ton while working as an engineman,
during the night shifts, but suppose he
had been reading novelssin his odd mo
ments?
The list of men who have achieved
wealth or fame by employing their
minds could be indefinitely extended.
This is the only way to rise in this
worldly improving the mind. First
man must teach himself how to think
and then he must read for information
that be may profit by all the thoughts
that have come already into the world.
1t would not pay to spend time con
ceiving and being delivered of thoughts
another man has thought beforehand
and made common property; and 1t IS
impossible to avoid that if you do not
read.
"By reading fiction, except in moder-
alton, for relief, is cheating yourself out
of the most precious of your posses
Sions-time."

not necessary to say that the prayer

with a tempest of ''amens."

GIVEN IVORY BATON.
Ban dmaster A. Il. koundy Receives Tokel
of Appreciation from Members of Band.

Ban dmaster A. Il. koundy Receives Token
of Appreciation from Members of Band.
Bandmaster A. B. Roundy, who has
otficiated under the direction of the
Metropolitan park commission at Re-
we're beach during the season now
drawing to close, was made the reel
pient of handsome ivory baton by the
members of the band last evening.
The occasion chosen was that OF the
last concert of the season, which was
we'll rendered and was enjoyed by
thousands Of those who have learned
that these concerts are among the best
things that are at this great popular
resort.
The band was ready to play the Sec
ond number on the program, the
Overture of William Tell" and band
master Roundy raised his baton only
to find that there was no response.
This was the signal for Edward F.
Tracey, who had been selected by the
members of the band, to step forward
in front of bandmaster Roundy.
MI. Tracey said that during the sea-
son the multitudes that had daily Wis
tied the beach had shown their warm
appreciation of Mr.. Roundys efforts to
furnish the public with good music. At
this time the members of the band
wished to show their appreciation of
the able, kind and impartial manner in
which be had discharged his duties and
conducted the band and in token of this
the speaker said he had been deputed
by the band to present Mr.. Roundy
with the baton with hope that it
might mark the tempo of many sue
cessful seasons in the future.
The presentation was such complete
surprise that it took Mr.. Roundy mo-
ment to rally. He then said that he
fully appreciated the good work done
by the band, to which much of the
credit for the success of the season was
due. He closed by expressing his warm
est thanks for the token of good will
that had been presented to him.
The baton, which is of ivory, is gold
mounted and suitably inscribed, while
the gold ierrule at the larger end bears
the letter r in old English script. 1t is
one of the handsomest things of the
kind ever seen in this city or vicinity.
The large audience present attested
it's pleasure at the gift by warm ap-
plause, which also served so show the
high appreciation in which bandmaster
Roundy and his associates are held.
Mr.. Tracey, who made the presenta-
ton speech, has taken a great deal of
interest in the matter of music in the
public parks and has much cause for
qualification with the success that has
attended the movement during the pres
ent season at Revere, Nantasket and
Globe Sept. 10th.

MhNY SUDDEN DEATHS
From Poisonous Rheumatism.
The Disease Has Its Dangers Should Be
Taken in Time.

Rheumatism has long been regarded as trouble
which, while it might be painful, was not neces-
sarlly dangerous. Very few persons, it was
thought, ever died from Rheumatism. Recent
investigation among scientists has proved, how
ever. the utter fallacy of such belief. Three
fourths to seven-eighths of the sudden deaths,
heart failures etc, are due primarily to neglected
rheumatism. The Rheumatic Acid Poison is al
lowed to stay in the system until suddenly one
day it grips the muscles of the heart and all is
oyer.
Rheumatism is durable if the proper treatment
is used. Lnments, plasters and all local appli
cations may relieve the pain for short time, but
no one ever heard of their permanently curing
case of rheumatism. The only way to cure Rheu-
matlsm is the Uric o way. Neutralize the Rheu-
matte acid and drive 1t from the system. That Is
what Uric-O does. No matter what is the kind or
character, Of the Rheumatism; it is all caused by
the same Rheumatic poison. LumbagO, Muscular
or Articular Rheumatism yields at once to- Uric ..
The store of r: H. Moody is the home of Uric-O
