One of the traditional stories of the
town of Fairfield, Conn, recounts a
wild dash from the pulpit made by a
worthy and beloved pastor of the Epis
Copal flock, DR.. Labaree.
1t was on Sunday more than a
hundred years ago. The service had
been read, the prayers said, the hymns
sung, and the parson began his ser.
mon. As he proceeded his gestures be
came very energetic. He brought his
right hand down with great force
Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit
stairs at a bound. dashed out the
church door and ran toward the pond
a short distance away,
The congregation followed in Devil
dered pursuit, and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into tbs
water until it came to his neck Their
turning round, he faced his astonisheG
audience and said:
dearly beloved brethren, l am not
crazy, as no doubt many of you think
but yesterday at the drug store

knew the suffering the acid would
cause when it penetrated my clothing
and rushed for the water to save my
self pain"
He drew several pieces of glass from
his pocket in witness of the tale. Ther
he dismissed the company and hurried

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the diSsem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotcheS,
pimples, eruptions, Scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawlng or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliOuSneSS, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accom- panying indi-
gestiOn, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.

inal of Robinson Crusoe No need to
go into the familiar story of his adven-
lures, nor TO question how closely the
novelist adheres to fact in what IS I'M
doubtedly the most fascinating story of
adventure ever written.
The narrow ridge where Selkirk
watched is now called The Saddle. be-
cause at either end of it a big rocky
hummock rises like pommel. Boys and
girls of two or four generations ago
will recall very readily those lines of
Cowper on the life of Alexander Sell
kirk, beginning as follows:

My right there is none to dispute;
From the center all round to the sea,
| am lord of the fowl and the brute
0 solitude where are the charms
That sages have seen in thy face?
Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.
On one of these rocky hummocks
there had been placed Il large tablet
with inscriptions commemorative Alex
ander Selkirk's long and lonely stay. 1t
was placed there in 1868 by the officers
of the British ship Topaze and reads
as follows:

While many Omaha people having rel

others are still without word. Mr.. and
Mrs. E. NJ. Clark, 1924 Grand avenue, are
among the latter. Mr.. Clark has three
