The Wife as a Conscience.

1ou may think you had a conscience
and believed in God, but what is a con-
science to a wife? Wise men of yore
erected statues of their deities and con-
sciOusly performed their part in life
before those marble eyes. A god
watched them at the board and stood
by their bedside in the morning when
they woke, and all about their ancient
cities, where they bought and sold or
where they piped and wrestled, there
would stand some symbol of the things
that are outside of man. These were
lessons, delivered in the quiet dialect
or art, which told their story faithfully,
but gently. 1t is the same lesson, if
you will-but how harrowingly taught
when the woman you respect shall
weep from your unkindness or blush
with shame at your misconduct. To
marry is to domesticate the recording
angel. Once you are married, there is
nothing left for you, not even suicide
but to be good.-R. L. Stevenson.

Stout Hearted Demetrius.

/ remember also TO have heard this
spirited saying of that stoutest hearted
OF men, DemetriuS. I'VE immortal
gods" said he, "the only complaint
which l have to make of you is that
you did not make your will known to
me earlier, for then l would sooner
have gone into that state of life to
which / now have been called. Do you
wish to take my children? 1t was for
you that l brought them up. Do you
wish to take some part Of my body?
Take it, 1t is no great thing that l am
Offering you. l shall soon have done
with the whole of it. Do you wish for
my life? Why should l hesitate to re-
turn to you what you gave me? What
ever you ask you shall receive with my
good will. Nay, would rather give it
than be forced to hand it over to you.
What need had you to take away what
you did? You might have received it
from me. Yet, even as it is, you can
not take anything from me, because
you cannot rob a man unless he re-
sts.'-Seneca.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's work.

as They Look. Cause and
Remedy.
ManyIpeople in Barton, both men
and women, who believe themselves
to be in perfect health, are often in
the greatestd anger.
The most common cause of i'll health
is indigestion, with myriad of symp-
toms such as headache, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pains in the
back and side, distress after eating,
etc.
In the last, few years the success
Of physicians everywhere with Miro
ma stomach tablets has made them
known far and wide as the &C.
knowledged specific for the treat
ment of stomach diseases. They
strengthen the digestive organs SO
that in a few days the stomach is in
such shape that it takes care itself of
all the food that is eaten without pain
or distress.
Fred D. Pierce gives an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your
money will be refunded unless Miro
ma cures. He takes the whole risk
and the remedy will not cost you a
penny unless it cures you.

In the winter OF 1903 there was much
anxiety at Washington lest Burnside
should be captured at Knoxville. One
day a report came to the White House
that there was heavy firing in the di-
rection OF the latter city. Lincoln, who
had been waiting during long hours
for some news, now expressed his sat
isfaction and when asked why he
found any comfort in his meager mes
sage answered: a neighbOr Of mine
in Menard county named Sally Ward
had a large family Of children. When
ever she heard one of them yelling in
some out Of the way place she would
say, Thank the Lord. there's one Of
my young ones not dead YETI" So
long as there was firing in the direction
Of Knoxville Burnside was not cap
tured.

The Best Fertilizer for SeedipZ
Down,


Farmers who are looking for FIRST
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was
devised by the Director of the Yer
mont Experiment Station at BurIiug-
ton and published in Bulletin No. 116
of the station. The amounts named
are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 800 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, so to 70 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are
all recognized as valuable fertilizing
agents but with the exception of
Ashes they have heretofore been diff
fcult to obtain in the markets of
Vermont. This condition is now
changed and all the materials of this
formula-except the Ashes, which the
farmer can usually furnish himself
can be purchased of Carroll s. Page,
Hyde Park, VT, who will be pleased
to make quotations on application.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid
Phosphate he sells are the purest that
can be bought and his Raw Ground
Bone is guaranteed to be absolutely
pure and the best the market affords.
The Bone which he offers is simply
the finer particles that are sifted out
Of the coarser GRADUATED Bone that
goes into the manufacture of his
Pages Perfected Poultry Food. It
should not be confounGed with the
Bone ordinarily offered by the trade
| as that has usually been steamed or
| treated with acids. 1t will be usually
| found that practically all the nitro
| genous elements have been removed
to make glue, thus taking away
the most valuable part of the bone.
If you are interested in the matter of
Summer or Fall seeding or of Fertili
zers for any purpose, write him for
information and prices, mentioning
| this paper.
