ADVANTAGES OF Madness

The truth Is, l fear, that madness
las a great advantage over sanity
3anity Is always careless. Madness /:
always careful. There is great dea;
Of falsehood In the notion that truth
must necessarily prevail. There is this
falsehood to start with-that If a man
has got the truth he is generally happy.
And if he IS happy he is generally
lazy. The incessant activity, the exag-
gerated intelligence, generally belong
to those who are little wrong and
just q little right. The whole advan-
taga Of those who think that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, says Gilbert j.
Chesterton, writing in the Illustrated
London News, lies simply in the fact
that they care whether Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage
Of those who do not think it lies in the
fact that they do not care about it.
The sane man who is sane enough to
see that Shakespeare wrote Shake.
speare is the man who is sane enough
not to worry whether he did or not.

The Crafty Brother.

A man had two sons The elder wa.
virtuous and dutiful, the younger wick
ed and crafty. When the father wa.
about to die. he called them before hin,
and said: II have only two things OF
value-my herd Of camels and my
blessing. How shall I allot themT'
"Give to me-" said the younger son
THY blessing, for 1t may reform me
The camels should be sure to sell and
squander the money"
The elder. Disgusting his JOY, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and pious mind. 1t wa.
SO arranged, and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold, my brother
has defrauded me of my lawful her
!tage. lie is so bad that our father, as
Is well known, denied him his blessing
Is 1t likely that he gave him the cam
els?"
So the elder brother was compelled
to give up the herd and was soundly
bastinadoed for his rapacity.

They Wouldn't Salute.

Black Jack Perciyal, who was ma.
val captain in the old days, once
brought cargo Of Spanish jacks home
In man-of-war. He was in Spanish
waters when the Jacks were given to
the United States by Spain and was
ordered to bring them out in his ship
It made him angry. but he got the
beasts aboard and sailed for New York
When he came through the Narrows
the guns had been rolled back, and out
Of every port there stuck a jacks head
Thus decked out and without q salute,
he came to his anchorage. The admiral
commanding sent posthaste to de
mand why Captain Percival had mol

Of apparatus, the body works better

DRAWING Room.

A curious and regrettable revival Of
the word draw" in the sense of with
draw" occurs in drawing ROOM" Hero
the original meaning of the word is
lost because Of its lamentable pronun-
citation by. the uneducated. Nobody,
hearing it mentioned as "droying
room" at Its best or as "droring room"
at its worst" would suspect 1t of being
a room to which to withdraw for relax
alton. Most words Of the kind, though.
have no better claim to our admiration
and many have worse one to our
sense Of language. "Parlor" is an ugly
growth from the old monasterial "par-
loir," or room where speaking was al.
lowed, and "boudoir," that early Victo-
rlan expression Of gentility, began by
being a room to sulk in. Sitting ROOM
Is a strange instance Of the confusion
Of cause and effect and so is living
ROOM" We come back to drawing
room" as to honest words, at least

1t Was All Rjqht.

They had evidently been quarreling
before entering the Suffer street car at
the ferry.
II would thank you, Mr.. Johnson, not
to sit by me-" she said Jelly.
ooh, Lucy, I'll never go with he'
again-never, never, deariev'
Gradually the harsh tones melted to
soft, endearing phrases. The car had
become very crowded. II stopped at
Van Ness.
The conductor, wedging among pas
sengers midway Of the aisle, could not
see the rear steps. With his hand on
the bell cord, he suddenly yelled:
"HoM- is it back there now?'
Its all right. We've made up again.
lmpulsively responded the young man

4 BLESSING To
MANY PEOPLE
May Mean Less Sickness
and Misery Here When
Known by the People of
This City.
OLD FOLKS TAKE IT
Simple Home Made Remedy and How
to Prepare 1t for Kidneys, Bladder
and Rheumatism-DOes Much Good
and Many Here Relieved.

This is simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t is
intended to check the many cases of
rheumatism, kidney and bladder trou-
BILE which have made so many cripples
and invalids and weaklings of some of
our brightest and strongest people.
The druggists here have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will
have no trouble to obtain them. The
prescription is as follows: Fluid EX-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce, and Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in bot
tie. The dose is one teaspoonful after
each meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments, even in severe
hospital cases, prove this simple mix
ture the remedy for rheumatism, be-
cause of. it's positive action upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys. 1t
compels these most vital organs to
filter from the blood and system the
waste impurities and uric acid which
are the cause Of rheumatism. 1t
cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them
and removes quickly such symptoms
as backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful,
scalding and discolored urine. 1t acts
as a powerful stimulant to the entire
kidney and bladder structure, puts
new life into them, and invigorates
the entire tract.
All the ingredients, states a we'll
known local druggist. are of vegetable
extraction, making it safe and harm
less prescription at any time.
Those who suffer and are accus-
toned to purchase bottle of patent
medicine should not let little incon
venience interfere with making this
up.

have its own provincial board of mis-
