All, well, l should have wealth as great
AS any king who sits in state,
So rich the treasures there would be
In half my ships now out at sea-
If just one ship have at sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All, we'll, the storm cloud then might
frown,
For If the others all went down,
So rich, so proud, so glad I'd be,
If that one ship came home to me.
Oh, skies be calm, oh, winds blow
free,
Blow all my ships safehome to me;
But if thou sendest home a wreck,
To never more come sailing back,
Send any, all that skim the sea,
But send my love ship home to me.

he Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY had ITS HOME
! MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
\ltters, Laxative and tonics, were to be
fot2d in almost every house, COM
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the
family doctor. Such remedies as
picra, which w.s aloes and quassia,
dissolved in apple brandy. Some
times a hop tonic, made of whiskey,
hops and bitter barks. A score or
more of popular, homemade remedies
were thus compounded, the formulate
for which were passed along from
house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, Old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,
manufacture it on large scale, adj
vertise it mainly through almanacs
for the home, and thus it would be-
come used over a large area. LAT
TERLY THE SEHOLD
REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A
MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one Of these
old-tirne remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania,
before it was offered to the public for
sale. DR.. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scribed it for his neighbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established a manu-
factory and furnished it to the
general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs,
colds, sore throat, bronchitis and
catarrhal disease generally.
OF FAMILIES HAVE
LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA
and its value in the treatment Of
these ailments. They have learned
to trust and believe in DR.. Hartman's
judgment, and to rely on his remedy,
Peruna.

What is legal tender?"
The query came from man who had
become involved in q dispute over an
account The matter was to be settled
in court and the mans lawyer told him
formally to offer the creditor the
amount due "in legal tender
When he went to make the proffer he
began to have doubts of just what legal
tender was and he was half ashamed
to ask his lawyer. His banker should
know and his banker he asked. The
banker thought a moment, then be
said:
Now, really, that's technical ques-
ton and l haven't the answer right at
! the end Of my tongue. But just a
minute and I'll get it for YOU"
He touched an electric buzzer and a

the cashier. Then to his visitor: Hell

the cashier.

You think Good gracious alive,

memorize it,"
Smith went to look II up. In the
meantime the cashier found among
some books copy of the national bank
act of 1896.
Here it is" he said. He read par
agraph which defined legal tender as
follows:
"Gold coin is legal tender for its
nominal value when not below the limit
of tolerance in weight; when below
that limit it Is legal tender in proper
ton to its weight; standard silver dol
lars and treasury notes of 1890 are le-
gal tender for all debts. public and pri-
vate, except where otherwise expressly
stipulated in the contract: subsidiary
silver is legal tender to the extent Of
SO, minor coins TO the extent of %
cents and United States notes for all
debts, public and private. except duties
on imports and interest on the public
debt.
Gold certificates. silver certificates
and national bank notes are nonlegal
tender money. Both kinds of certifi-
Gates. however, are receivable for all
public dues except duties on imports
and may be paid out for all public dues
except interest on the public debt"

Three brothers-John, William and
Henry Nock-all well to do. live in
Dayie County. n. c. Near the Mock
home lives the family of Jacob De
pass and the chief ornament Of this
family was Miss Nellie Depass, says
the New York Herald.
Each one of the Mock boys was in
love with Miss Nellie and had told
her so many times, v0wing his life
would be utterly worthless unless the
beauty would become his wife.
Miss Nellie decided that she wcald
have a wedding. and she told each one
OF the brothers to get ready as though
he were to be the favored one. and
the two who failed to get her could be
the best men and wait on their more
fortunate brother.
One night Miss Nellie walked into
the parlor in her finest costume and an
nounced that she had decided to let
the brothers draw straws TO see which
she would marry. She said she would
manipulate the straws, as she was
"disinterested."
When the straws were laid on the
center table to be inspected it was
found that the youngest brother had
drawn the shortest straw. Immediate
ly Miss Nellie took his arm, aSd the
bridesmaids and their attendants ar
ranged themselves in front of the fam
lily minister, who was there for the
occasion. In five minutes Miss Nellie
was Mrs Henry Mock.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH

This Woman Took Or. Williams Fink

TICS oGGn VeGtl Ever since.
How many women--and men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable TO check How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and

to which most of US are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in tho
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, n. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
''For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so /

soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never

The great value of DR. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.

are taking does not cure you, write for

Profit in Wheat.

Cheap wheat leaves a larger profit
for the farmer than was received half a
century ago with wheat at double the
price OF the present day. The value
of an article is its price compared 20

a section of land about five miles from
the town of Saltcoats- i moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year | broke 90 acres, which | crop
ped in 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905, with an acreage Of
160 acres, | had "a bushels wheat AMI
80 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906,
with 175 acres under crop, 1 had %
bushels wheat and IS bushels OF oats
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that l am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, | have had to work
hard. but don't mind that when get
such a good return for ny labor.
To any one thinking about coming to
this country / can truthfully say that
if they are prepared to work and not
