The Deacon's Sermon.

Say, my young lady friend, | notic-
ed that you took occasion to ridicule
that old lady who just passed you
on the street, says the Deacon. 1t
gave you a lot OF pleasure, have no
doubt, but let me tell you something
about her. She is old and wrinkled
and bent now. But once she could
skin you q block for good looks
She. was married to q man she loved
and had q happy home for years
Three children came to bless them
One night the husband was brought
home dead. When grief had spent
its self she faced the world penniless,
with three little ones to feed. She
toiled with the needle and over the
tub. She kept the wolf from the
door, but you see at what physical
cost. Through the long hot days
and far into the night she worked
on. Amid her lsbors she found time
to teach the children good and
wholesome truths-to be honest and
square and look every man in the
eye. The children are now grown
and the mother lives with them. Her
eyes are growing dim with the sweet
consciousness that not one OF her
children ever brought the blush Of
shame to her cheeks. When you get
old and can face the world and hold
up such blessed fruits OF your labor
you will not have to concern your.
sell about the world to come.

The late Colonel Norman W. Bing.

brought to Christ, and for the bene-
ct Of the ignorant in theology, con-
verts we're invited to PROFOUND any
questions touching their newly-iound
faith. Agreeably there arose "a
brand snatched from the burning, -
who requested the pastor to explain
TO him, and reconcile, the conflicting
doctrines ofiree moral agency and
predestination, both tenets OF the
church.
The pastor took "the full count, "
and q hush fell upon the congrega-

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close contne-
ment to home, Office or factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
In q natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, in fact In every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return TO IL certain
others. 1t Is necessary TO prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what Is necessary TO make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians OF this
country before the advent OF the whites
which later came TO the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the cure
OF obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to he safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there is Black Cherrybark,
The medicinal principles residing In these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined In just the
right proportions, as In DR., Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and<all the tissues feel the
fav ,rable effect Of this sovereign remedy
a ,hough somBT hysicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value Of the
ahovc mentioned plants, yet few have
uss1 pure glyce-ine aS a solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients In varying amounts,
uith alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery Is a
scientific preparation compounded OF the
glyccric extracts Of the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains nc
alcohol or harmful habit.forming drugs.

In the Old Country.

London, England, July 16. 1905.
EDITOR TINES. We travelled
through Scotland staying aiew days
each at Edinburgh and Melrose.
At Melrose visited the home Of Sir
Walter Scott, called Abbotsiord, and
his tomb at Dryurgh Abbey. Scot
land is besutiiul country and In.
habited by thrifty and very intelli.
gent peoplN.
Two days at Warwick, England.
From here our party we're driven In
Tallaho coaches to Kenilworth and
Stratiord on Avon and visited the
home of Shakespeare, the Church Of
the Holy Trinity, that contains his
tomb and the hous. that he went to
school In. These and other buildings
pertaining to Shakespeare belong to
the British Government and are
carefully guarded and preserved for
future generations.
Now in London, where we stay q
week, and then to Paris. England
has rich soil and is beautiful to look
at, but the people are In classes. We
visited the House OF Parliament.
Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Pal
ace and many other places Of inter.
est, among them the Kings Stables "
containing two hundred OF the finest
thorough bred horses the world can
furnish, used by the royal family In
riding and driving. The gold and
silver mounted harness with the
hundred or more various kinds OF
wheeled vehicles was a sight oisplen-
dor will long recollect.
Twill close by saying the further !

MRS. MARSHALL
SUFFERED WITH
SYSTEMIC CATARRH.
PE.RU-NA SAVED htR

Mrs. Viola Marshall, l1l7 East Jack
con street, Springfield, ILL.,, writes:
"Two months ago when ! sought
your advice, and you told me that J
was suffering from systemic cstarrh,
had gotten so bad that l could not
bear the Jolt of walking and had to lie
down most of the time.
"I began taking your Peruna and now
feel like a new woman.
81 can walk just as far rs l please
without feeling any fatigue and have
taken only three bottles Of Peruns.
"I shall never cease praising Peruna,
nor thanking DR.. Hartman for his kind
advice"
Systemic catsrrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always un-
derstood, and therefore not correctly
treated.
What is needed is an internal catarrh
remedy which exerts o healing effect
on the mucous membranes of the entire
body.
Such Q remedy is Peruns. The SIN
cere letters of those who have sxpe
rienced its benefits In such cases art
evidence of its medicinal value.

A Shifting Landmark.

In the first years of navigation on
western waters, says the author Of
early Steamboat Navigation on the
Missouri River" pilots were forced to
use all sorts of signals and marks to
decide their courses. One had Gus
tom of running certain crossing If he
came to it at night by the aid Of
dog. The animal belonged to family
living in house at the foot Of the
crossing directly in the course Of the
bend. Whenever boat was coming
this dog ran out to the bank, always
in exactly the same place. which was
in line with the channel. and barked
his loudest The pilot ran toward the
sound Of the barking with the utmost
confidence. Unhappily the dog one
night took notion to change his stand
and barked little higher up. The
next morning the boat was a hopeless
wreck ON sand bar, into which the
pilot had run at fun speed. =

Our Lead Pencils.

Many boy is made happy these
days by present Of half dozen pen
ellis with his name printed thereon in
gold letters. Perhaps the name lead
pencir' will last through all time and
eternity. The original pencil was really
made Of lead. and on the rough paper
Of the time made clearly discernible
mark. Germany led in its manufac-
ture. Our earliest importations were
much sought after, and none could be
bought with other money. than gold
coin. A common ''lead" pencil was al
most worth it's weight in gold, and a
man who got supply had to be well
recommended. When q New York mer-
chant advertised the arrival OF con-
signment of lead pencils the rush to
buy was pellmell. This seems incredi-
BILE to us young ROSTERS, who can buy
dozen pencils today for 10 cents

"a champagne dinner once cost st.

'sThe Union Pacific aid bill was up for
consideration in congress in the early
sixties. It fixed St. Joseph as the
eastern terminus of the road. While
the bill was under consideration q ban
quet was held at St Joseph. 1t was
attended by many Of the leading men
Of the town. After they had filled up
on champagne question arose as to
which flag should float from the city
hall. The Confederate flag was finally
decided on. and in the morning the
stars and stripes were hauled down
and the stars and bars hoisted. The
news reached Washington that very
day. while the Union Pacific bill was
still under consideration. Senator
Pomeroy moved that the name st. Jo-
seph, Mo-. be stricken from the bill
and Omaha. Neb.. be substituted. The
amendment carried and st. Joseph
