SELF-DEPENDENCE.

Many an unwise parent works
hard, and lives sparingly all his
life in order to leave enough to give
his children a start in the world,
as it is called. Setting a young
man afloat with money left him
by relatives, is like tying a blad-
der under the arms of one who can
not swim; ten chances to one he
will lose the bladder and go to the
bottom. Teach him to swim and
he will not need the bladder.
Give your child a good education.
See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subservient to the
laws which govern man, and you
will have given what will be of
more value than the wealth of the
Indies. You have given him a
start which no misfortune can de-
prive him of. The earlier you
teach him to depend upon his own
resources and the blessings of God,
the better.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1907-08-23

Good wives are better conserv-
ators of the public peace and NOR
atty than policemen, prison
statutes, and all the terrors of the
law. Let a man be thus home
anchored, and have an interest
in a house and lot, and except he
is radically bad, he becomes a
self appointed guardian of the
peace and of public morals.

Did you ever realize that moth
ing on earth can smile but a
human being. Gems may flash
reflected light, but what is a dia-
mond flash? A face that cannot
smile is like a bud that cannot
blossom, and dies upon the stalk.
Laughter is day and sobriety is
night. and a smile is the twilight
that hovers gently between both,
and more bewitching than either.

opELL oBEYED HIS FATHER.
Emphatic Message That Broke Up
Conference of Politicians.

Four years ago, when ex-Gov. Odell,
of New York, was coming up for re-
nomination at the convention in Sara
toga, there was plan to put man on
the ticket with him for lieutenant gov
ernor to whom Odell objected strongly.
The governors father, SO years old,
a deacon in the church and very strict
in religious matters, was in Saratoga.
There was conference at one OF
the hotel cottages that lasted until
late in the morning. The other lead
ers were trying to force Odell to take
the obnoxious man.
About two o'clock Odelps father,
who had heard what was going on,
stalked angrily over to the cottage and
raped on the door. Frank Platt, son
of Senator Plat, came to the door.
"Well?" said Plat sharply.
II want to see my son." demanded
Odell.
The governor came to the door.
What is it, father?" he asked.
"Ben," said the old deacon, "tell
them to so to -"
Yes, father" replied the governor
obediently, and he went back and did
just Saturday Evening Post.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED DoMINoEs
Origin Of Game That Is Popular the
World Over.

With regard to the game Of DOM
inoes there is very interesting
story connected with its origin. 1t
runs thus: There were two monks
who had been committed to the pen
atty Of long seclusion and were con-
demned to keep absolute silence. To
relieve the monotony they played a
game by showing each other small
fiat stones marked with black dots.
By MISUNDERSTOOD arrangement,
the monk whose hand was used at
first informed the other player by
repeating in an undertone the first
line of the vesper hymn, "Cantate
Domino" (Sing unto the Lord. In
time the monks completed the set of
stones and formulated the rules of
the game, so that by the time they
were free to come out from their pun
ishment they had found the game so
interesting that on teaching it to the
other members of the monastery it
became favorite and lawful pastime.
1t soon became popular all through
Italy and from there extended to the
whole world. The first line of the ves-
per hymn which the monks had used
as a signal was reduced to the word
domino, and the name has stuck to the
game ever since.

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA.
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 Of an Increase In Cana.
da's immigration In 1906.

The progress Of new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase Of railroad mileage in
its transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
of railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of a trans
continental route for many years to
come, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles of railroad traversed
the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end of 1906,
some 5000 miles Of completed railroad
has been added, making total of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces of Canada.
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities of the country is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 a mile for construc-
ton, the sum OF 500, 100000 will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living is mod
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition
al railway building means the opening
of new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; a largely
increased output Of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection of elevators and
the growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for the progress of national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
of free homesteads, so extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else
where.
It was stated on the floor Of the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would see the bulk OF
the population of Canada residing
west of the Great Lakes, and II the
work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by the Canadian states
man may be easily fulfilled inside of
the time stated. During the present
year no less than 189, 064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west,
of whom 57,796 were Americans who
have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with it. Certainly,
our neighbor north of the 10th parallel
is making great record, and deserves
the success that appears to be coming
it's way.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

/
No better practical proof that coffee
Is a drug can be required than to note
how the nerves become unstrung in
women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
cafeine. Ask your doctor.
An Ia. woman tells the old story
thus:
Il had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, nervous
ness and dizziness. In the morning
upon rising I used to belch up sour
fluid regularly.
Often / got so nervous and miser-
able would cry without the least rea-
son, and 1 noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
After using Postum a while, I OBJ
served the headaches left me and soon
the helching of sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). I feel de-
cidedly different now, and I am con-
WINGED that it is because I stopped
coffee and began to use Postum. can
see better now, my eyes are stronger.
"A friend of mine did not like
Postum but when told her to make it
like it said on the package, she liked
it all right" Name given by Postum

Prominent on Lecture Platform.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American
who talks to the public for pay. From
an authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinian's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from $3.50 to $500 lee
ture and he is constantly in demand.
His season is not confined to the sum-
merry Chautauqua course and he fills
nearly as many dates in the winter
as at any other time of the year. In
the last four years it is said that he
has laid aside over 100000 from his
lecture receipts. Henry Watterson
perhaps comes next in the matter of
earnings on the platform. Champ
Clark, of Missouri, ranks high as a
popular favorite and makes about
twice as much as lecturer as his con-
gressional salary.

Keen Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem.
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

No Advance in Wisdom.

Mark Twain tells how four years
ago he was invited by the University
Of Missouri to go out there and receive
the degree of LII. D. At the same time
he visited Hannibal, his boyhood
home. Just as he was about to leave,
being accompanied to the station by a
crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, school
fellow, came ur-white headed, but
still boy. He shook hands with his
friend of many a year and nodding
toward the crowd said: People of
this town arc the same blamed fools
they always were, amt they, Sam?"
