SPLENDID SUGGESTION.

Dear Sir:-I am enclosing you
herewith clipping from the Mont
gomery Evening Journal of the
fourth, which you will note has ref
erence to a new idea that I am advo-
eating which has for it's purpose the
permanent relief Of widows and or
phans of this community
| am satisfied that you will agree
with me that this is capital
scheme. [ believe that [ will sue
coed in getting some of our property
owners interested in the proposition.
If some of these fanatics who are
raising hue and cry about the suf-
fering Celestials would turn their at
tention to some such scheme as this.
they would bless themselves and pos
terity and their names would ever be
cherished by all real Christian men
and women.
tell you, Mr.. Watson, Home Mis-
sions'' is the battle-cry; let us nail it
to the masthead of our endeavors and
tight for the idea with all our ran
somed powers and never let up in
season nor out of season; never Law
our armor down as long as there is a
suffering widow and a hungry child
between the two oceans.
The brave and noble fight which
you are making against these fanatics
is something that every true patriot
ought to be proud of. Your articles
are a positive inspiration, and I feel
that such a pen as yours WELD
ed in defense of home missions will
be the most potent factor to create
the right line of thought in the minds
of the people, and to destroy the Tro-
jan horse of foreign mission iniquity.
What do you think of the PROPOSE
ton, Mr.. Watson, to build neat little
cottages for the poor?
I believe that it is a most whole
some idea, and will endeavor to get
our capitalists interested in the
scheme.
Wishing you an ever-increasing
measure Of success in the magnificent
work in which you are engaged, and
assuring you of my great respect and
admiration, I am,
Most sincerely,
L. A. ODOM,
Captain Salvation Army.

In the window of a little book
store in Eighth Avenue, New York,
was recently heaped a great pile of
Bibles, marked very low-never be-
fore were Bibles offered at such
bargain and above them all, in big
letters, was the inscription:
"Satan trembles when he sees
Bibles sold as low as these"

PROBABLY

There is not a reader of The Jeffer-
sOnian who is suffering from a Kid
ney, Bladder Or Uric Acid Ailment
but what would like to get away
from costly, heartbreaking failure,
the grinding misery of it all and find
remedy which when fixed and
ready to take would cost no large
sum, be entirely harmless, would
not taste very bad and withal per-
fectly dependable in most cases.
So, Mr.. Publisher, l will ask you
to tell every such reader Oman or
woman) that If they will at once
send their full and plain address to
me I will without charge of any ma
ture be glad to direct them to the
remedy l so successfully used in my
own case and right in my own home.

PUT BLAME ON FATHER TIME.
Heroic Endeavor of Mule Trader to
5quirm Out of Tight Hole.

Mr.. Justice Brewer of the United
States supreme court, in lecturing be-
fore his law class at the George
Washington university some years ago,
had occasion to illustrate an argument
regarding the flight of time, and the
story he told in illustration was
rather better than the usual "darky"
skit.
Il knew of a case once said the
justice, where two darkies snapped
mules. One of them was an old hand
at the business, and in making the
trade he represented his mule to be
seven years old. This was in Febru-
airy, and the new posse3sor of the mule
had not had it long when he discov-
cred that he had been materially
cheated, on the point of the mules
age, at least. But the victim did not
manage to find the man who had vic
timized him until well along into
the month of June. Having found
him, however, he at once accused his
opponen. of making rascally misreIA
reservations to him regarding the trus{
age of the mule in question.
You say said the former pro-
prietor of the mule, dat when you got
de mule in February dat he was seben
year old-huh? An now it's June an
you low he's twelb year old?'
dol was the angry response.
The trickster rolled his eyes and
shook his kinky head. Ma soul, mani:
he groaned, Time sho do fly!'"
