BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for 3 Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some S years ago
I had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe which left me in COM
pIete state of collapse and / suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, l lost flesh
till l was mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
"Then on the recommendation of
some friends l began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time l was mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi-
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
'I finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed l could not collect my
thoughts ON any subject, and became
almost hermit. After l had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time / discovered that / was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; | began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily; had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime l have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
II feel that owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require powerful re-
building agent, delicious to taste and
always welcome"

regain health, or hold it, is by use

made into some of the many delicious

RAMS HORN BROWNS PHIL
OSOPHY.

The only thing in this world like
boy Is a man.
Unless we take God for our begin
ming we begin wrong.
Some of Gods best gifts are wrapped
up in very common paper.
1t is easier to knock man down
than it is to turn the other cheek.
1t takes all that God and a good
mother can do to make good man.
If we have done nothing, let us be-
gin now We may do something yet.
What does our love for God amount
to if it isn't doing men any good?
In killing snakes it is better TO cut
off an inch of head than foot OF
tail.
Nine men out OF every ten are blind,
and the one who can see may lead
crowd
A dollar fiddle in tune makes bet
ter music than pipe organ out OF
tune.
A tal!ow dip on top or bushel will
do more good than an electric light
under It,
How much good some of us could
do if we didn't wait until tomorrow
to begin.
We would have more REVEALS IL we
had more preaching aimed at the sin
ners or the front seats.
The value. of the service does not
consist in what is done, but in the
state OF heart with which it is done.
When a man says II WILL" some
thing may be done, but when wom~
an says Il will" something has got
to be done

AWFUL ITCHING ON SCALP.

II used the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment for a diseased scalp, dandruff,

the Cuticura Remedies. Once every

Body Is identified

Dillon, Mont.-The body of a man
which was found in a advanced state of
decomposition in the Beaverhead river
about mile north of Dillon, has been
identified by papers found upon it as
that of Thomas Burke, native of
Pennsylvania The latest date on any
of the letters was April last, and i is
thought that the body has been in the
river since the early spring flood. The
papers found upon the body show that
Burke was musician on board the
battleship Oregon when she made her
famous run around the Horn during
the Spanish war.

THE DONNA DEFIES RUSSIA
CALLS ON THE PEOPLE TO RULE
THE COUNTRY.
Parliament Formally Appeals to the
Country and Disperses Under
Threat of Force.

st. Petersburg, July 24.-The great
news is the adoption of an address to
the people by the deputies to parlia-
ment who assembled at Viborg, the
language of which, with its revolu'
tionary demands that the people cease
to furnish money and troops to the
government and repudiate further
loans, afford pretext enough for the
government to lodge its authors in the
fortress if it feels strong enough.
rumor was spread that this course
had been decided upon.
A large crowd gathered at the Fin
land station where the deputies were
expected to arrive, but only few APP
peared and these were not molested
and neither was there popular dem
onstration.
Among the arrivals were President
Mouromtseff and Ivan Petrunkevitch.
The former came on a local train, en-
tirely unattended. He was plainly
downcast and responded to the saluta-
ton of the Associated Press CORE
spondent by the mere raising of his
hat and hurried on to escape an inter
view.
M. Petrunkevitch, filed with the
revolutionary spirit, claimed for the
Constitutional Democrats the credit
for the text of the appeal.
Copies of the appeal to the people
are in the hands of all st. Petersburg
newspapers, but it will scarcely be
printed today, for the reason that a
detachment of police is posted at the
door of every newspaper printing office
in the city, with orders not to permit
any papers to leave the city until au-
thorized by the censor.
Kharkoff, Russia, July 23.-The
news of the dissolution of parliament
has been followed by much rioting in
this city. The excitement was in
creased by the escape of forty pro-
minent politicians who had been
thrown into prison on Saturday night.
Twenty persons were killed and wound
ed in the effort for their recapture.
The mob threw stones at the police
and soldiery and many were wounded.
Kislovdsk, Caucasus, July 23.-The
announcement of the dissolution of the
Russian parliament provoked revolu-
tionary demonstra zion in the streets.

More Mad Dogs.

New Prague, MINI. Several more
mad dogs have been found in this city
and vicinity. A little puppy belong
ing to Joseph I. Topeka did most of
the biting and his head was sent to
the state university for analysis, when
it was found that he had the rabies.
Some of those bitten by rabid ami
mails were unable to bear the expense
of trip to Chicago to take the Pas
teur treatment and so the city council
held special meeting and obtained
special rates from the railroad, and al
so from DIR. Lagorio, for the poor they
assisted financially.

RAIN AND MORE RAIN
WET WEATHER DIsAs-
 TROUs TO cROPS.
In Ten Mfnutes Yesterday Evening One Half of An Inch of Water Fell in Montgomery--Enect On
 River.

l The rain barrel has been turning loose water from the spigot and also I from the bunghoIe and from appear ances has also been suffering from overflow It seems now. however, that the old algebra problem about those
 several pipes ernptying into tank and tho other pipes carrying 1t out of tha tank at designated rate has been solved by cutting off the supply of liquid from the feed pipes.
 Montgomery and in fact all this sec- ton of Alabama have been getting all that was justly coming to them from the clouds. Union Springs has been
 soaked in six inches of rain during the past week. Clanton has had 6 6.27 inches and Montgomery has been treat- ed unwiilingly 10 4.76 inches up to yesterday evening.
 And now have come the showers of yesterday and they have swelied the total at the local station at least. Yes- terday the morning and evening show CTS contributed .6S of an Inch. The downpour in the evening shortly af- ter 6:30 o'clock was responsible for 55 of an inch of this total. and ex- actly half an inch of this fell In ten
 minutes. The gattars were full and
 the sewers had as much water as could
 be accommodated.
 The rains of the past week have had the effect of giving the Alabama river at the Montgomery wharf good heal
 thy rise. Rains of over an Inch have fallen at Fort Deposit and Marion and
 points in the valleys of the Coosa and the Alabama rivers The guage at Montgomery yesterday showed stage of oyer sixteen feet and by the time the record is made this morning
 twenty-foot reading Is expected. Some low1ands in the middle coosa valley have already been inundated
 Unless there is q we'll tempered change these heavy rains will have a very bad effect on the cotton crop. m the sopin.on of those who know. The cotton fielcs have received more than an abundance of moisturs and what the effect will be can not be estimat- ed until after dry weather has set Tn. The immediate effect of the rains has been apparent in most rapid growth of the cotton plants. The fields have a rich appearance and the fruiting has continued on an unusually heavy scale,
 It Is conceded that the most trying period in the development of the cot ton plant will be the next six weeks The plant has already become very sap py and tender and should protracted drought follow the present wet spell the result might be serious damage to the yield. It is true that rains in July are preferable to hot, dry winds. for rains at this time are productive of ar abundance of fruitage. The only fear now Is that one extreme may foi- low another The plants are well pre- pared to sustain considerable damage and yet produce a full yield
 One of the weather men said yester- aaN that 1t would seem that about all inc moisture in the skies has fallen and that the indications are for fairer weather
