PEOPLE SHOULD TRY
THIS MIXTURE n, "
Home Made Remedy Which Acts
Promptly on, the Kidneys
and Bladder

Cut this out and put In some safe
place. for 1t is valuable and worth
more than anything else in the world
IL you should have an attack OF
rheumatism or bladder trouble or any
arrangement of the kidneys whatever.
The prescription is Simple, and can
be made up by anyone at home. The
ingredients can be had at any good
prescription pharmacy and all that is
necessary is to shake them well-in a
bottle.
Here it is: Fluid extract dandelion.
one-half ounce: compound Ilareon.
one ounce; compound syrup sarsa-
parilla. three ounces.
Take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime. A few doses is said
to relieYe almost any case of bladder
trouble. frequent urination, pain and
scalding weakness and backache. pain
above the Kidneys. etc. 1t is now
claimed to be the method of cur
ing chronic rheumatism, because OF
it's direct and positive action upon the
eliminative tissues of the kidneys. It
cleanses these sponge-like organs and
gives them life and power to stft and
strai ntile poisonous waste matter and
uric acid from the blood relieving the
worst forms of rheumatism and kid
ney and bladder troubles. The ex-
tract dandelion acts upon the stomach
and liver and is used also extensively
for relieving constipation and indiges-
ton. Compound sarspaarilla cleans
and enriches the blood.
A weil-known local druggist is au-
thority that this prescription is safe
to use at any time.

The Hearst,s opnortnnitr.

What man. woman or child is
there. who reads these few lines:
Three hundred widows and about a
thousand fatherless children-such,
besides the awful taking on OF many
hardworking bread winner is the
appalling result of the catastrophe at
Monongah. This is the net result of
the observations OF Bishop Donahue,
made during an all day stay at the
scene"-can appreciate the situation
at Monongah too much?
The woman who has never expert
enced widowhood can scarcely know,
in fact, would not know the fears for
the future in this life of woman
left with dependent family without
means Of support. Indeed, happy
families with plenty never know.
They can not. 1t is impossible for
them to realize the drudgery, the
sacrifices, the care that the widow
has under such conditions. A double
duty devolves upon her. She. must
be mother and she must be bread
Garner. Not only must the house
hold be taken care of by her but she
must also provide shelter, clothing,
education and all for the children.
Scarcely man is there who would
not shrink from such a task, and
why should a woman be expected to
accomplish such an undertaking?
Fate sometimes cruelty devolves it,
on woman to have this terrible lot
in life. but, perhaps, it will not al
ways be so. Certainly, the time in
American brotherhood Is passing be-
yond that stage. and the love for
mankind in American hearts is
above the misery point of keeping
all we have and doing nothing for
our fellows, unfortunate not from
their own acts but from fate that
they themselves did not bring about.
God forbid that there should he any
such.
This is no time for prejudice, no
time for class hatred. no time to ar
que that others ought to come TO
the rescue and relief. The only
thing to do now is to follow the
Golden rule. The Telegram offers
the opportunity, and yet it matters
not to it what medium or avenue is
used in reaching the suffering.
Those who are in distress Them
selves ought not to contribute, as
the widows mite. though an exam
pie, need not Ike given, for that sort
of charity works hardship materi-
ally, though in the end it has its
richest blessings. 1t is to those who
have plenty that this appeal should
he most effective. And yet none
should give who cannot cheerfully
do so.
Clarksburg has ever done well in
such intances and it is the general
belief that the record will keep up.
This city was the first to start the
fund of relief and the Telegram
knows Clarksburg will be as open
hearted and sympathetic in the pres
ent case as in past ones. and that
suffering humanity at Monongah
will receive generous attention
from this city. But all should re-
member that now is the time to
give.

RIDING as A PAsTIME.

In the old colonial days, our grand
parents especially in the South, were
devoted to riding, perhaps from me-
cessity, but however that may be, the
fact remains that they were for the
most part good riders and spent much
time in the saddle. Today one sell
dom meets rider in the country, ex-
cept an occasional one from some
near by town,
1t certainly seems as though the
mad rush for money had extended to
our agricultural class. The farmer
of the Goth century has literally no
time for anything but work, and it is
doubtful whether he is one bit better
off, as far as getting any of the plea
sures out of life goes, than he was in
the old days when he had time for
riding, visiting, cornhusking, parties,
etc.
In order to enjoy riding, it isn't
necessary to have horse that can't
be used for any other purpose. On
the other hand, it is painful to have
to ride work horse or slow, stupid
beast with no spirit. For real, pure
pleasure in riding, there is nothing to
excel the southern sadoler, and, con-
trary to the general impression, they
are also fine roadsters, and do not
show their saddle gaits in harness.
There are two kinds of saddlers, one
a stylish, high-headed, spirited ami
NAL, popular in cities and for park
riding, where show is desired the
other level, smooth going, fast road
horse, admirably adapted to both bus
mess and pleasure. 1t is of the latter
wish to speak, for while the south
ern saddler is to my way of thinking
king of all saddlers, it takes long
purse to buy him whereas good,
all-round horse will, with the proper
handling, makes an excellent saddler
as we'll as good carriage horse.
There is no better general-purpose
horse than the Hackney. Such
horse is worth having, and will carry
his owner for many delightful ride,
besides looking smart in the family
carriage.
To try to compare the destinations
of riding with those of driving would
be like comparing bicycling with au-
tomobiling. What appears to the
lover of riding is that not only can he
set out for ride at moments no.
tice, but he can go off on little side
paths where it would be impossible to
drive. Then there is always the ir-
resistible temptation to jump on your
horse and ride over to your neighbor
for a few moments chat, especially in
winter, when you know that he is in
need of run.
What sensation of keen delight
comes to one on mounting a spirited
horse, especially if the rider and mount
are in sympathy, for clever horse
will almost anticipate his masters
thought and enjoy a gailop as much
as his rider! 1t may be truly said
that man is known by the horse he
keeps also that health and riding
are synonymous. In the old days, If
we were out of tune, the doctor i'm
mediately suggested riding, and the
wise man who followed his advice was
sure to find his spirits and digestion
much improved by the prescription.
Today there is no better exercise for
both men and women, and many

ing in the city could have had them

provide good horse or two for the
youngsters to ride.-EdUGrd K.

from being SO frequently immersed in
hot soapy water. After doing rough,
coarse work which has begrimed the
hands, before attempting to wash
them, rub in the pores little vase
line or oil to loosen the dirt. Then
wash them in hot water and pure
soap, using a hand scrubbing brush.
Lather them we'll and remove every
particle of CRIME from about the
nails. Turn out the soapy water and
rinse them in tepid water and, lastly,
in cold, SO that they will not be made
too tender.
A bit of borax added to the rinse
water, just enough to make it feel
slippery, aids in softening and whiten-
ing the hands. Hard water is very
harsh and drying on the skin and
boiled, distilled or soft rain water
should be used when obtainable.
After thoroughly rinsing the hands,
dry them carefully upon soft towel.
Press the finger tips separately be-
tween the folds of the towel to give
them a tapering shape.
As further precaution against
chapping in cold weather a little al
mond meal should be rubbed upon
them while wet or a little corn meal.
Before washing the hands all stains
should be removed by mild acid,
such as lemon juice. slice ofraw to-
mato or diluted vinegar. 1t is claim
ed that the hands may be quickly
whitened by rubbing them well for
three nights in succession with sweet
almond oil aud then busting over
them as much fine chalk as they
will retain. The secret of soft, white
hands is not idleness, nor complete
immunity from household tasks, but
thoroughly washing, frequent oily
inunctions and careful drying.-S. S.

FAMOUS OLD CHURCH.

In Twenty-ninth street, New York,
and only a few PAGES distant from
Fifth avenue, stands low, rambling,
picturesque brown structure that has
the appearance of modest chapel to
which various additions have been
built from time to time. Between
this building and the street is we'll
shaded lawn, and there is scarcely a
day in the year on which the twitter-
ing of birds among the boughs OF the
big trees does not attract the attention
of passers- by. There is sort of rural
atmosphere about the quaint church
and its yard that seems so singularly
out of place in the heart of big city
that strangers invariably glance Curl
ously at the board on which are in
scribed the hours of service and the
name "Church of the Transhgura-
tion."
To most strangers this means moth
ing more than the name of any church.
But were some friend to aod: "It is
also known as the Little Church
Round the Corner" a new light
would dawn on the strangers mind,
and he would know that he was
standing before one of the most cele-
brated church edi6ces in the United
States-a church supported largely
by the members of the theatrical pro-
fession-a church that has been
known for many romantic wedding
ceremonies and from which hundreds
of dead actors and actresses have been
borne to the grave.
The manner in which this church
came by the name by which it is now
popularity known is as follows
In 1870 the veteran actor. George
Holland, died in New York, and
Mrs. Hollands sister desired the
funeral to be held at her own church
"a fashionable place Of worship in
Fifth avenue. Joseph Jefferson, as
an old friend of the family, went to
the minister with one of Holland S
Young sons. Mr.. Jefferson told the
rector that his friend was an actor,
and the rector replied that under
the circumstances he should have to
decline holding the services at the
chnrch.
The boy was in tears. Mr.. Jetter-
son was too indignant to say word,
but as he and the boy. LETT the room
he asked if there was any other church
from which his friend might be buried.
The rector replied there was a little
church around the corner where 1t
might be done.
Mr.. Jefferson said "Then if this
be so, God bless the little church
around the corner. '"-.Scyab Book.

WHY THEY WERE CHOSEN.


Andrew Carnegie was recently
asked: What influenced you most
in the selection of your lieutenants IN
the steel industry?'
Apparently trivial incidents.
Watched young men with whom
came in contact, and wherever | ran
across one who, all unconsciously,
by some small action or word uttered
in ordinary conversation, made me
feel like be had the qualities demand
ed in my business. 1 gave him chance
to prove that he really had them"
And how many of these men are
millionaires! Passing Charles Schwab,
H. c. Frick, Thomas Lynch and
other more prominent ones, take the
case of A. R. Peacock as typical.
About twelve years ago Mr.. Pea
cock was a salesman for New York
decoration house. At that time Mr..
Carnegie wanted some decorating
done in his Fifth avenue house, and
Peacock was sent to him. Carnegie
was so pleased with the salesman
that, Just as Mr.. Peacock was leav-
ing, he said. apropos of nothing that
had gone before:
young man, you will be rich some
day." Mr.. Peacock laughed.
"Mr. Carnegie, he answered, ''if
l thought so I'd be willing to give
the man who helped me to riches a
liberal discount"
Mr.. Carnegie's reply all but took
away the hearers breath.
''I'll take you at your word. Go
to your employers, resign at once, and
come with me.
Mr.. Peacock did as he was bid !;
and judging by results, he gave Mr..
Carnegie liberal discount in work,
for his fortune is conservatively esti-
mated at $40, 900. 900.
Andrew M. Moreland, formerly
secretary of the Carnegie. Steel. Com
pany,, owes his present financial posi-
ton to his ability to send and receive
telegraph messages with lightning
like rapidity and unerring accuracy.
When he was auditor of the Com
pany Mr.. Moreland was summoned to
New York to consult with his COM
mercial master. At dinner Mr.. Car
negie set wine before his guest.
"No, thank you I don't drink,
said Mr.. Moreland.
Later on Mr.. Carnegie brought out
the cigars.
"No, thank you I don't smoke, .
said Mr.. Moreland.
Still later in the evening Mr.. Car
negie proposed a game of cards.
mo, thank you; I don't play
cards" said Mr.. Moreland.
Mr.. Carnegie looked at his guest.
"Tell me why you don't do any OF
these things" ne said.
"You've kept me working too hard
all these years. l had no time to
learn,' was the reply.
Mr.. Carnegie thought moment.
Andy he said, "I'm going
to give you three months vacation.
Now for heavens sake go off some
where and learn to do something be
side work. ."-Mew York Sun.

FIVE MINUTES SERMON.


The Word Of God is like the seed.
1t has a principle of life. It is
planted in the mind of the hearer.
1t is heard makes an impression
which appears small, perhaps is rout-
ed and driven out for the time; but
it has power it grows aud expands
it influences our lives produces a
line of conduct suitable to its impor-
tance is calculated to rule and gov
ern our whole lives, turning US away
from evil and towards good. until it
is mighty power which rules and
conquers all adverse influences.
What is it that gives this mighty
life and power to the Word of God?
1t is its own importance. Every
creature seeks its own good. The
Creator has implanted in us this in
stinct. We see it in the plants seek
ing the moisture of the earth, and in
the animals in search of food and
shelter. But this good is only for
the moment it passes away because
they have nc reason, only an instinct.
We all seek what we consider our
good not merely the pleasure of the
moment, but more permanent good.
We look to the future and often neg
lect the present.
The farmer tolls to raise his crops.
The knowledge of the times aud sea-
sons and modes of farming is a seed
in his mind which grows and deter
mines his actions.
So for the merchant. The ways of
trade, buying and selling in all the
details, and the importance of attend
ing to them, is principal of action
with him. / may say in all the af-
fairs of human life, the end in view,
the securing a competence, the max
ing OF a fortune, is seed which ex-
pands and grows into mighty tree.
We see this every day-people alb
sorbed and taken up with the thought
of worldly prosperity.
But alas all this our own right
reason tells us is a delusion and a
snare. When we think about it NE
are obliged to say to ourselves, all
this is bound to come to an end.
Sooner than we think it will be all
over. All worldly grandeur and all
worldly pleasure have short limits.
All / have to look for, if make these
things my end, is bitter disappoint
ment. Do we not see examples of it
every day? The rich with their
millions grow old and decrepit, and
go off like the clouds which pass over
the sky.
But when the seed is sown, it must
be cultivated and taken care of. If
the soil is dry, it must be watered if
it is hard, it must be loosened and
broken up; and after it has taken
root it must be watched, stirred up,
and the weeds which would choke it
must be pulled out.
So the Word of God made known
to us must be cared for. We must
make it the business of our lives to
cultivate it. Our Lord described how
this good seed is neglected and per-
ishes. He says some of the seed fell
on a rock, and presently withered
away. Others by the wayside and
were trampled down or devoured by
the birds. Other portions were chok-
ed by the weeds or cares of this life.
Now, we must not deceive our
selves by this comparison and excuse
ourselves for our own neglect, saying
that we could not nelpit. Each one,
no doubt, has his particular difficult
ties to overcome, and must make es-
pecial efforts to correct his faults but
he can do this if he will, and God is
always ready to help him.
