A Story Of HerOism.

The awards of the Carnegie hero
fund have brought out at least one
story that is good reading. Rufus K.
Combs, of Midway, KY, was awarded
a silver medal and 1900 for saving
the life of Richard Godson, a bitter
rival and political enemy. Godson
had entered a vault to test a gas-mak-
ing apparatus and was overcome by
the fumes. Friends and relatives were
afraid to enter the vault. When he
declared his intention OF going in
Combs was pulled back and told that
Godson was dead, and that he would
surely lose his own life II he attempted
to recover the body. "There may be
some life in him." declared Combs, az
he pulled away and entered the vault.
He carried his enemy to the door OF
the vault and then fell unconscious.
Both men recovered and are now the
stanchest friends. Asked why he had
risked his own life for his most bite,
enemy, Combs replied: "Because
love a fighter who fights fair, ant
Godson always did that"

The prices this week have been very

Worry and Fear Removed.

It is not religion, but the lack OF
it that makes people unhappy. Yet
how strangely and how widely the
opposite view prevails. There are
many who think of religion not only
as CALLING drudgery, but as the
surest source of moroseness, melan-
cholynan unhappiness Of life. Their
idea is that religion Is system OF
suffering to which many people are
willing to submit here in order that
they may not suffer hereafter-that
religions only happiness is in the
future, it's rewards after death. In
stead, the real fact is THAT religion is
a thing of present JOY and ever con-
tinuing blessedness. It is the glad
dest, happiest thing in all this world.
"Her ways are ways of pleasantness
and all her paths are peace"
It is religion that gives us the
bright things in life and sin the dark
things, and not vice versa. Religion
goes down to the deepest springs o.
our mental and spiritual well-being.
1t brings untold measures OF peace
and JOY. 1t takes the sting out OF
the past and it takes the worry out
Of the present. 1t takes the fear out
of the future.-The Rev. G.. B. +.

A Well.Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most fe-

day is Brandreth's Pills-a blood purifier
and laxative. Being purely vegetable they
can be used by old or young with perfect
safety and while other remedies require
increased doses and .fnaAys cease acting
altogether, with Brandreth' .. Pills the same
dose always has the same effect, no matter
how long they are taken. One or two pills
taken each night for a while is the best
thing known for any one troubled with
constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from an impure state OF
