More Courtship
After Marriage.

Some men EN- to consider their
marriage certificate as q sort of
fully paid up policy of happiness.
They act as if the courtship days
were those of paying premium Of
compliment. oheerfulnees, consid-
GRAFTON and ohivalry. and that mar
riage outs of all these premiums
of lover like attention. The only
way to get an absolutely guaranteed
insurance on matrimony is to keep
paying the premiums. Many first-
class matrimonial policies lapse
just beoause of these suspended
payments.
There is a tendency to assume
that this love is known and reoog-
nized, SO why speak of itP This
is dangerous taking for granted of
what should be made real, pulsinR
and vital in thought, word and deed.
There is little danger of oYertelling
this story; it is often the wine of
life and Inspiration to one hunger
ing and !hirsting for the little ten.
dernessss of affeotion. There are
moro people on this great, big, roll
ing earth hungering for sweetness.
tenderness and words of appreoia-
ton, genial confidence and gener.
GUS affection than are starving for
bread. With husband and wife
these delicate messages of affection
cost so little-sometimes only
thought but it is the thought that
is all.
Continued courtship after mar
riage preserves the lover in the
husband and the sweetheart in the
wife. But oourtship is not solitaire;
like quarrel. it requires two to
make it SUCCESS. 1t is not the
wife alone who needs the gracious
sweetness of concentrated oomrade-
ship. for husbands who are built
on the right lines have the same
hunger for the loving kindness and
kindly loving.
Cour ship is a vessel of promise
that is often wrecked on the shoals
of matrimony. Oourtship means
two mates without captain; mar.
riage sometimes becomes two cap.

Campaign Contributions From the
Trusts.
(Fairmont Times J

When Judge Parker in 1904, as
Presidential candidate, made the
public statement that insurance
companies were contributing the
policy holders money to the Re.
publican campaign fund the oficere
of the different companies, and
Theodore Roosevelt. as his oppos
ing candidate, ridiculed the idea
and called for proof. Shortly after
the accusation the noted insurance
investigation began and the out.
come has revealed conclusive proof
that Judge Parker was correct in
his statement.
That the success of the Repub-
lican party in recent campaigns
has been brought about by funds

in exchange for favoritism in pub
lie legislation, no one longer ques-
tions That every trust protected
industry uses it's influence toward
the election of the Republican
ticket is now generally conceded.
No sane man will contend that it
is done for sentiment only. Peo-

tic institutions are not engaged in
the business of producing senti.

The Best Guaranty OF Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
upon upon its IS wrapper % ali ali the n insredIents dIesS
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DIR. Pierce'S Family Medi-
cines IN q class all by themselves. They
cannot be claSSed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them TO
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..

great stomach tonic. liver iuvigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
sFavorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine. of proper
strength, is better solvent and prcSery-
ative OF the medicinal principles reSid-
ing in our Indigenous, or native, medi.
cinal plants than IS alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valua BILE medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent

Neither of the above medicines con
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from n
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to nse and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-Secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the COM

the strongest kind of an endorsement

Obituary.

Nancy Susan Eads, was born
in Point Pleasant, Mason county,
West Virginia, Oct. II, 1888, and
died at her in Louisiana, Mo-, of
apoplexy, Sept. 18th, at 1:3O a. m.
Deceased was the youngest of 8
children of James and Lucy
(Abston) Eads, and was the last
member of her fathers family.
At Is years of age she made pro-
fession of religion at a revival
conducted by the Rev. George
Staten of the United Brethren
faith and united with that church
living a conistanJ member until
she came to Missouri in '76.
September, 1856, deceased was
united in marriage to John Steele
of her native state, To this union
two children were born, Lucy A.,
wife of s. ID. Fisher, of Armada,
and Lurilla E, wife of John 2.
Wood, of Louisiana.
Deceased was left a widow at
the age OF %, her husband dying
April 10, 1882. The following
year she was again united in mar,
riage to Jonathan ii. Rif1e, to
this union 4 children were born,
namely, James T. Rifle, Mrs. j.
Wesley Ogden and Mrs. Fremont
Tobb, all residents of Louisina.
One daughter, Mary F. preceded
her to the spirit land Aug. 18,
1881. Deceased with her family
came to Mo-, Oct. 18, 1875, and
located near Cyrene, but becom-
ing dissatisfied they returned to
their home in Va, living there a
short while she and her family
removed to Mo-, and has since
lived principally in Louisiana.
Not finding the church of her
choice in that city, deceased unit
ed with the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. She was left a
widow the second time in July,
1873. From that time deceased
made her home with her son in
Louisiana. Her christian life de-
voted to her Saviour reached over
a period of SIS or 56 years. Who
can estimate the value such SER
vice?
She did all In her power to be
instrumental in leading her loved
ones to Christ, and while we are
bowed down with grief and sor-
row of our great loss, we grieve
not as those without hope, for we
know that our loss is her eternal
gain. Often times have we heard
her say that she was ready and
waiting for the Lord to call her
home. We know that our moth
er is with the redeemed on high,
and the memory of her unselfish
love and devotion will be cherish
ed by her children while
we are permitted to live and may
we SO live that we will
meet our dear mother in land
where there will be no more part
ing. She passed away without a
struggle, just as if falling to sleep,
but her awakening will be on
high. The toll worn hands were
folded, the patient feet were stop
ped, the loving eyes were closed,
and the tenderest heart on earth
ceased to beat, when the grave
closed over our mother.
Farewell,
