SERMONS IN SENTENCES.

Character is never put on; it grows
out.
Spirituality is a poor refuge from mo-
Taiity.
Love always wins, because it is not
afraid to lose.
All gain and no pain would make life
a sad affair
The only people who count are those
who can be counted on
The door of truth cannot be opened
with the key Of prejudice.
There is something wrong in a man
when his religion is the poorest thing
about him.-Chicago Tribune.

Won BueIoW Is Threatened.

Berlin.-The determination of the
Socialists to secure direct universal
suffrage, combined with their indig-
nant protest against Chancellor Won
Buelow's declaration refusing their de-
mand, gave rise Sunday Of an unusual
scene and monster popular demon
stration, accompanied by disorders in
the streets of the Prussian capital, in
which 10000 organized Socialists par
ticipated, while 10000 sympathizers
from time to time actively joined in
the manifestations. One of the most
remarkable features of this uprising
was the number of women who engag-
ed in the demonstrations and they ap-
peared more earnest in their activities
than the men.

OPERATORS DUPE PRESIDENT
It is lnsinuated That Spfaks Was
Catspaw for Mine Owners in War
fare Against Union.

Washington.-Pres Roosevelt
has determined to withdraw the feder-
al troops from Goldfeld, New, shortly
after the legislature begins it's special
session Tuesday. This intention was
made known at the White House Sun
day, when the report of the special
investigation commission was made
public, together with letter from the
president to Governor Sparks, dated
January 4.
The president says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the governor can show
that the statements of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors
request for troops, nor were his speci-
fic statements established to any such
extent as to justify his use of these
statements for the purpose of getting
federal troops"
it concludes with this recommends
ton:
But we must also firmly believe
that upon the assembling of the leg
islature, or within a few days there
after, the troops should be removed,
regardless of any request for their re-
tention that may be made by either
the legislature or the governor of Ne
vada, it being essential that the state
of Nevada shall understand this situa-
ton completely, shall recognize the
fact that there will. at that date, be
thrown upon it, and it alone, the pri-
mary responsibility of keeping order,
and that, recognizing this responsible
ity, it may take such action as is the
duty of the state and as will be suffi-
cient in the premises"

RAILROAD MAN

A man running On railroad has to
be in good condition all the time or he

A clear head is necessary to run a
locomotive or conduct a train. Even
a railroad mans appetite and diges-
ton are matters Of Importance, as the
clear brain and steady hand result
from the healthy appetite followed by
the proper digestion of food.
For the past five years, writes a
railroader, 81 have been constantly
troubled with Indigestion. Every doc
tor l consulted seemed to want to
starye me to death. First was diet
ed on warm water and toast until L

would let me eat, the indigestion
would be right back again.
"Only temporary relief came from

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in lrlshman's Mind Az
ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: every time I settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets sheep
killed, l think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned. Well, we'll, he commented.
4 knew it hit us pretty hard, but
didn't suppose it knocked US three
miles from the track"

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for Woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study Of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, Of SIS NC St.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration TO nealJn
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
EFor twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what [ suffered and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkhams advice re-
stored health ana strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham'S Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
