ReconciIed.

A young husband and wife were
walking, n summer evening,
through a country churchyard, and
they were attracted by two little
graves, side by side, on which were
laid wreaths and crosses of fresh
flowers. The date of the little ones
death was seen by the headstone,
some years back. The names were
those of two children, only two and
three years old, and underneath were
the words, "Thy will be DONE"
"How dreadfully sad" said the
young husband.
eff our baby were to die I could
never say that" said theeyoung wife,
pointing to the text.
"Let us hope you will not be tried"
said the young husband.
But when they returned home that
night they found the baby ailing, and
before very long, a little grave-such
a little grave!-had to be dug for it,
too.
For a time the poor mothers heart
rebelled terribly. She mourned as
one who had no hope, and on the
tombstone of her little one she had
inscribed the words: II am bereaved
of my children, I am bereaved."
Later on, through years Of trial
and suffering, God led her to a better
mind; and when, a woman old in sJr.
row and years, she visited the grave
where her child and husband were both
lying, size resolved u lave tnat mur.
muring inscription altered, and in.
stead of it was written, where the
treasure is, the heart is also;" and
beneath again, the text which once
she thought she could not say, "Thj
will be done."-Home Herald.

-Boston's Stump"

sBoston's stump" is the local name
OF the tower OF the parish church Of
st. Botolph, in Boston, England,
which was damaged by lightning, not
long ago. The church dates from
the fourteenth century, and its tow
e., 272 feet high, is the tallest but
one among the parish churches Of
England. It has 365 steps, one for
each day Of the year. and the church
has seven DOCS. f1fty-two windows
and twelve pillars, for the days in
the week and the Weeky and months
in the year. For the twenty1four
hours in the day there are twenty
sour steps in the porch by which the
library is reached. Two flights OF
sixty steps lead to the roof, n for
the seconds, the other for the min
utes: and the tower is in four stories

Sincerity is Not Enough.

Here is a man who is sowing what
appears to be black ashes. A friend
accosts him, saying: What have
you got in your bag?" He learns
hat it is the bulls Of buckwheat-
the chaf Of old wheat; and he says:
What are you sowing chaf for?"
Why" the man replies, II have the
impression that if a man is only
faithful and sincere. it makes no
difference what he sows."
Does it not make a difference?
Suppose a man should sow couch
grass, thinking he was going to get
timothy hay; would he? Suppose a
ma should set out crab-apple-trees
in his orchard, and think he was
going to get fall pippins; would he?
Suppose a man should SOW that most
detestable of all detestable seeds, the
Canadian thistle, and say it was
wheat: would any amount of botani-
cal sincerity on the part Of this fool
secure to him a harvest Of anything
better than the seed sown? If he
sowed chaf, he would not ever
reap chat. IT he .sowed weeds, he
would reap weeds. For what q
man sows" in natural husbandry,
that shall he reap.'-Henry Ward
Beecher.

A Gentle Hint.

Senator Fulton at his annual Ore
gon salmon dinner in Washington,
told a tipping story.
In Astoria" he sai1, there used TO
be an old fisherman who brought me
the first Of every month a present of
a. splendid salmon from his master. !
always gave the old fisherman a tip.
But one morning / was very busy
and when the old maj brought the
fish I thanked him hurriedly, and for
getting bis tip bent over my desk
again. He hesitated a moment, then
cleared his throat and said:
Senator, would ye be so kind as
to put it in writin' that We didn't give
me no tip this time, or my wife'll
think I've went and spent It on rum

THE MILK.

Experiments ~canclusively prove that
milking in a stable where the cir

wiping the udder with a damp cloth
and scalding the utensils with live

reduce the bacterial content of the

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
p~roverb1al buying OF q pig in a
poke" Mixtures In which chalk,
ground rock, etc, predominated were
marked and sold al Pure White
Lead" the deception not being APP
parent until the paint and the paint
Ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned
to expose it easily.
National Lead Company. the larg-
est makers Of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the Injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Duteh-Roy Painter, !"
and put this trade mark. as a guar
anty OF purity, on every package of
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the ruri-
ty and genufneness Of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished a
blow-pipe free to every oEe who
would write them for it. This ac-
ton was in itself a guaranty Of the
purity Of National Lead Company's
White Lead.
As the result Of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame II he is defrauded. Fer

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 .. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world q remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muf, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
/ can tell what I suffered, and at times ]
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and strength. It 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

BISHOP OPENS OFFICE. pr. WlIliamc Will Advise Men on Civil nnd Spiritual Affairs.

Detroit, Mich, Jan, 4-Bishop Charles D. Williams. of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, has opened Q down town office.
 The churchman is not interested in ecclesiastical duties alone and his of- flee has already become the gathering place of men who seek to consult with pr. Williams on matters of civic tm- port.
 why should not churchmen take as big an interest in public affairs as anybody else?" asks the bishop. T be- Iieve the man who is an advocate of one kind of righteousness ought with equal energy to seek all other forms of righteousness, civic, political, muni- cipal, corporate. as well as spiritual and moral.
 Partisan politics" he continued, "are the curse of municipal elections. erhe only place for parties in city af- fairs is in isanship-paradoxi- cal as that may sound. It takes patience to gain any public good, and there must be bonest, able and ag- gressive leadership to win over the obstacles that are sure to be thrown in the way by opposing private capi- tai.
 T believe in municipal ownership. It, is conducting for the people and by the people what Is essentially their own"

NO MORE TONG WARS
COUNSEL IS HELD AND AN AGREE
 MENT RAECHED.
More Than Fifty Persons Have Been Killed And More Than Double
 That Number Wounded About Slave Girl.

San Francisco, Cal. Jan, 4-The bloodiest of tong wars that this coun- try has seen. which originated seven years ago over a Chinese girl and in which more than fifty persons have been killed and more than double that number wounded was declared off at a meeting of the various tongs held yesterday, at the rooms of the six com panies in this city.
 The trouble started over the sale Of Wanien. . slave girl. to Lui-Ng. a member of the Ping-Kuntong by An Wong. member of the Hop Sing Tong. Lui-Ng paid s3.100 for Wan Len. but An Wong declared that this was not full payment As Nuf-Ng refused to pay more. war was declared between the Ping Kun Tong and the Hop Sings.
 The first fight was in Clay street and resulted in seven being killed and ten wounded and since that time the fighting has been continued. Lately the Hop-Sing's. in their desire to get back the money alleged to be due their Tong. held up a fan Tan Game at Los bers of the Bo Ons, a totally different and inoffensive Tong. were shot by the Hop-Sing's. with the result that the fight became general and every Tong was implicated.
 Seeing that the war was liable to spread too far, the presidents of the company's called a meeting last Thurs day to settle 1t and the upshot of 1t was that Lui-Ng was awarded the girl and the Hop-Sing's declared to be in the wrong. A jury of the See-Yupa seven years ago rendered a similar verdict.
