soon he was taken in as a member of
the firm. Age and hard knocks and
brushes with the business world de-
vel0ped In him marked business acu-
men. He forged to the front as a
financier and public spirited citizen.
As years passed he prospered. Early
and late he was ever looking after his
vast business interests. There were
times that he longed to be again in
the small home town. Often in his
youth he dreamed of some day being
chairman of the village board. Only
once since parting from the old home
had he returned, and then to find the
town Just the same only little more
deapidated, and in the weed-over-
grown kirkyard the neglected graves
ut his coed parents.
Strenuous business life and assid-
ious attention to the accumulation of
capital without vacation, caused him
to suffer from what the doctors pro-
nounced neurasthenia. and advised
total rest from mental effort. The man
had labored too diligently in amass-
ing money. Residence in quiet place
all commercial worries. The Great
Merchant sold his vast interests to a
combine, and after careful thought,
concluded that he would seek rest and
a renewal OF health in the town where
he at one time attended the little red
schoolhouse, and where in childish i'm
agination he would be powerful and
famous by becoming chairman of the
village board, Accordingly he retired
from the city, purchased the old home
stead where he was reared and picked
potatoes, and also built a residence
and became a Great Factor in the
town. Time had made few changes in
the landscape. Buildings and streets
were the same, only showing the raw
ages of decay. The old stores were in
possession of the descendants of the
owners who conducted them when he
was boy. They were not doing the
business that they should. One great
innovation was the town had a rail
road. All about was suggestive of
peace. 1t was an ideal place for
man who desired to pass his declining
days in contemplation of the here
after. There. life was much like unto
death. There was fresh air in abund-
ance. All of nature lavishly spent Its
beauty over the country and the town,
and even the weeds on the streets

there were 600 farmers in the neigh
borhood. Each farmer surely spent
$50 a month somewhere for supplies
This meant a total of $30, 600 month
$3.50 900 a year Then the few hun
dred people in the town would add
other thousands to the volume of busi-
ness. Why not build a great store and
supply the wants of the people? He
would spend some money and build
up the town. He bought half block
on which three OF the stores stood.
He erected large brick building, and
soon he had installed in it great stocks
of goods. Other merchants in the
town shook their heads. The Public
Spirited Man was certainly crazy.

town had passed away. Streets were
lined with the teams and the wagons
of the farmers. A new elevator for
grain had been started. The railroad
placed a new switch in the yard to ac.
commodate the increased business.
The son of the old town blacksmith
reopened the old shop closed for years
because of no trade. New life was
rapidly being injected into the place.
There was an election. A lot of
newcomers selected the Public Spir-
tied Citizen for chairman OF the town
board. He was elected. In six months
the streets were paved. an electric
lighting plant was in operation. along
with water works. The Great Store

he did them. News OF the activity of

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases An
Shrinking and VIII Disappear.

c. F. Gautier, French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the oases are
perceptbly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in a relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now. and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation flourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
AS the climate OF the region has un>
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands OF years. he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that 1t is due to the con-
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed Of the Atlas mountains.-N. 7.

A TOWN WAS EFFECTED.
A STORY WITH A MORAL
One paoltc Spirited Citizen Who
Reailzed the Big Possibilities and
Cultivated the Field to Ad-
vantage.

once upon time there was a Man,
who III his youth was reared upon a
farm located near Small Town of
Great Promise. Two weeks in each
year "hen he was not saving wood,
feedine the stock or picking potatoes.
he was allowed to attend the little red
schooihouse in the town By hard la
DOR during the day. and persistently
reading few old books which were
heirloom in his family. and each week
aosorblnE the intelligence contained
in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time
he could mark down his age at 1s
years, had accumulated sufficient
knowledge TO run away from home.
he wandered 10 large city and there
his great II SECULAR power assisted to
gain for himself a position as Chief
Scrubher in large store. He had not
acquired the cigarette habit, and his
faithfnlness to his scrubbing brush,
and his unwillingness to know all
about his employers business, soon at
tracted the attention of the Old Man.
and at the end of a year he was pro-
NOTED to Head Rustler in the shipping
department at the large salary of eight
dollars a week.
His disregard for scooting when the
closing time came. and his total lack
of sweIled head so pleased the Old
Man that from time to time the ambi-
tious youth was advanced until at the
end of six years he was drawing the
biggest salary paid by the house. and

WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by DELI
cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood.
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. j. G. Havey, of 95 Willow ST.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: Il was sick for a
number of years from general debility
and Indigestion. was never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were SO
shattered that the least excitement un-
fitted me for any serious work. My
sleep was restless on account of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for a month
OR two. My sight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be q blur constantly before my
eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do SO
completely exhausted me.
II was finally forced to give up
position l had held for twenty-eight
years. AIter Trying several meulclneS
without help, read of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and gave them trial. They
made me feel SO much better and so
much stronger that started in business

ness and cheerfully recommend DIR. Will

and blood tonic"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have long
been recognized as an excellent tonic
remedy in cases of indigestion and gen.
eral debility, where the stomach and
other organs OF the body are weakened
and disordered simply through lack Of
proper nourishment. They have also
been especially successful in curing
anamia, rheumatism, after effects OF the
grip and fevers.
