Managing A Wife

on GLOW to Manage wife" The
following was awarded the prize:
" Manager What is that? Does
it mean to control? We manage a
horse. We use our superior human
intellect to control and guide his
superior physical strength so as to
obtain the best results. But a wife
is not horse. Where two persons
are well married, the wife is superior
to her husband in as many respects
as he is superior to her in others.
If happiness is to be the result of
the union the first business of the
husband is to manage himself so S
to keep himself always his wife's
respectful friend, always her tender
lover, always her equal partner,
always her superior protector. This
will necessarily stimulate the wife
20 be always an admiring friend,
ways an affectionate sweetheart,
always thrifty housewife, alwaS S

react upon the husband that his love
for his wife will grow so as to make
it easy for the husband, with all
his faults, to bear with the infrm
tiles of his zone and only wife"

Prompt People

Don't live single hour without
doing exactly what is to be done in
it, and going straight through it
from beginning to end. Work,
play, study, whatever it is, take
hold at once aud finish it up
squarely; then to the next thing,
without letting any moments drop
between. 1t is wonderful to see
how many hours these prompt peo-
pie contrive to make of day; it is
as if they picked up the moments
that the dwadlers lost. And if yon
find yourself where you have so
many things pressing upon you that
you hardly know how to begin, let
US tell you secret; Take hold of
the very first one that comes to hand,
and you will find the rest all fall in-
to file, and follow after, like a
company of well drilled soldiers;
and though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in squad, 1t
is easily vanquished if you can
bring it into line,

CURES CATARRH
Dr.. ". {. Hami Will Furnish the Medicine
free 10 Every Case Where They fall
IL Cure Catarrh

Neglect or pessimism we believe
is the q eatest enemy the public have
to contend with when applied to
the loss or recovery of health.
Practically every case of consump
tion might have been cured if hope
had been maintained and proper
treatment had been resorted to at
the first symptom of the disease.
Until the advanced stage is reached,
consumption is durable. Catarrh is
!, responsible, we believe, for every
case of consumption. 1t is about
Catarrb we want to talk to you to
day, incidentally consumption, since
the two are so closely allied.
We have medicine made from
the prescription of one of the most
successful catarrh specialists known.
This medicine has a record of 98
per cent of cures, and we believe it
Is positively without an equal. We
are so satisfied that we are right,
that we will supply the medicine
free in every instance where it is
used according to directions for a
reasonable length of time and fails
to cure and give satisfaction in every
particular We want everyone in
Pocahontas to try this medicine at
AonS ~isk. There are no conditions or
lity attached to our offer. We
Nde user under no obligation to
us whatever.
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is a
catarrh remedy that goes direct to
the seat Of trouble. 1t is carria1 by

Foxes Sealps and Salvation.

Some years ago at a session Of the
legislature of Kentucky an effort to
repeal the law offering bounty on
foxes scalps was made, but was de-
feated by the appeal of member
from mountainous and sparsely set
tied region. "Do the gentlemen want
to deprive my constituents and me Of
the benefits of hearing the gospel
preached?' he demanded, with indig-
nation In his tone and overspreading
his rugged countenance. I'VE are all
Methodists up my way, and our
preachers won't come without we can
give 'em chickens, know. We can't
raise chickens unless the foxes are
killed by somebody. that's sure, and
there amt anybody that can afford to
spend their time hunting foxes and get
nothing to pay for 1t. So, gentlemen,
IL YOU repeal this law you'll be de-
priving my constituents of the benefit
of hearing the gospel preached; that's
the way IL looks to me!' The law
was not repealed at that session.-Ar-
gonaut
