A.tonished Great Pianist.

A collection of anecdotes of musical
celebrities just published at Leipsic
contains this one under the head of
Anton Rubinstein. When the great
pianist was making his tour of the
United States he sat one day in a
railroad train looking out upon the
scenery. Suddenly a man sitting
across the aisle spat over Rubinstein's
head out of the open window. The
master drew back and gazed in aston
ishment and anger at the vulgar Amer
lean, who smiled and said, soothingly:
Don't worry; | know my distance

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia Z. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection Of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. 1tmeans
that there is nothing about the bus
mess which is not "open and above
board"
1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continue
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write2
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being BEN
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own
sake, be taught confidence, forshealso
might just as we'll regain her health.

NO CHANCE TO BUNko HIM.
City Youngster Too Well Aware Of the
Wiles of Grafters.

The baseball evangelist, the elo-
quent Billy Sunday, said during the
revival services at Sharon, Pa:
Keep good company. Nothing does
the young more harm than bad So
ciety. Only yesterday farmer told
me about youngster of six or seven,
little country weeker, who had as
suspicious and mistrustful heart as
some old miser or crook.
This boy was sent by charity So
ciety to spend a week at the farmers.
The farmer set out to meet him, but
was late. He ran into him halfway
to the farm, trudging along the white
road. a big burlap bag of luggage on
his little bony shoulder.
THE farmer held out his hands for
the burlap bag.

Who Wants Reform

Is there anything in favor of any
kind of reform in the Republican
platform? Anything about any
kind of reform in Taft's speech of
acceptance?
If the Republican party intends
to reform anything, why didn't it
hint at some kind of reform in its
platform? If it wants reform, why
did it make platform at Chicago
that suits the trusts and monopo-
lists that don't want any reform?
If the trusts, the corporations and
the monOpolists are satisfied with
Taft, why should The People be
satisfied with Taft? Does anyone
suppose that Taft is going to be a
president for The People and for
the trusts at the same timer
Can any man sit in the White
House and serve The People by do
ing what they want done, and at
the same time serve the trusts by
doing what they want him to do?
If Taft is going to fight the bat
tie of The People against the trusts,
why are the trusts for Taft, and
why are trust kings putting up
campaign contributions for Taft
and Sherman?
The trusts are not for any kind
of reform. They are satisfied. The
People want reform. But the trusts
are for Taft and Sherman. Jeffer-
son City Democrat.

Sept. 9th W. c. r. u. meeting.
Hostess, Mrs. Hugh Stevens.
One dear Junior Superintendent
of i. 7. L. work says she cannot
take a vacation during the hot
summer when the liquor men are
reaping their richest harvest with
their ice-cold- beer and dangerous
so called soft drinks. She says the
reason that inteSest seems to wane
and attendance decrease in the L.
T. L. during the hot months is be-
cause boys and girls do not like to
leave the bright airy out of doors
to spend an hour in a hot church,
so she is having the meetings on
the shady side of her lawn. Not
only her Cwn L. T. L., but other
children leave their play to see
what that crowd" is doing over on
Mrs. M lawn. Mrs. M has
laid by a few dollars of her
tenth" to buy lemons and sugar
for a cool, refreshing drink on the
hot days. She says, "A few free
drinks invested in the boys and
lgirls will prove as profitable
to the W. C. 7. u. as they would to
the saloon keepers"
1t has, long been known that the
W. c. 7. U. keeps a faithful mis-
sionary at Ellis Island, N. Y, Miss
Orr, who receives the emigrants
and gives them so much help.
The record of the daily doings is as
interesting as a novel Some of
the strangers who pass in through
that gate must consider her q fairy
/ god mother. for she gives them so
much help.

Another illustration Of the fact
that the grounds occupied by the

bonding school teachers, our public
schools is and was a highly proper
one. e

open In a few days and yet, last
Friday Prof Cecil MCGEE, professor
Of mathematics, tenderned his res
ienation to accept one at ChyeRns,
Wyo.,
1t is true that a great deal Of
consideration is due school teach
ers, but the schools are for the
children, not the teachers, the
school buildings at great cost are
erected for the children, not the
teachers and the people are taxed
for the children, not the teachers
and and for a teacher to jump the
game just before the opening Of or
during a school term, is not a light
matter.
