A Financial Parable.

Just before the collection was taken up one Sunday morning negr0 clergy man announced that certain brother had forgotten to lock the door of his chicken house the night before, and, as . result, in the morning he found that most of the fowls had disappeared. 'I qoan'' want to be pussonal, bredr'n," he added, "but hab my s'picions as to who stole dem chickens. I also hab reason fo' b'lievin' dat if am right ip dose s'picions dat pusson won't put any money in de plate which will now be passed around"
 The result was a fine collection. Not single member of the congregation feigned sleep After 1t was counted the old parson came forward.
 Now, bredr'n," he said, "I doan' want your dinners to be spoilt by won. derin where dat brudder lives who doan' lock his chickens up at night. Dat brudder doan' exist, nah friends. He was a parable gotten up fo' pur- pose of finances

The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas- tie. One of its two towers was used for torture, the other served as a prison. The castle also contained a museum of horrors until 1t was pur- chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, iD whose possession these rel ics now lie. One of these was the chair of torture. It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes. To 1t the victim was tightly bound, and in a short time discomfort began to manifest itself and in time became unbeatable. During its continuance the torture was increased in several ways by means of wedges being pass ed between the legs and screws being applied to the thumbs until they be- gan to bleed

Spoiled His Taste.

"A friend of mine," said Montana man, "is defending . damage suit for being party to making a man take the liquor cure without his consent. This man had been on a protracted spree of several weeks, and his busi- ness was going to the dogs. My friend thought 1t would be kindly thing to send him to sanitarium for treat ment. He did so, and the man was given the cure for the whisky habit. When he was discharged from the sanitarium the fiHst thing he did was to go to q saloon. He called for whis- ky. He tasted it, but did not fancy the flavor of 1t, He set his distaste of it down to the cure he had been given by my friends orders and imme- diately began suit for $5O,OO0 dam- ages. He says in his complaint that he had highly cultivated and dis criminating taste for whisky, which had taken years to develop, and that
 was spoiled by the cure. 1 do not know how my friend will come out, but he is not helping any more down and outs without first obtaining their consent. ."-New York Journal.

A Detectives Capture.

Mr. Silas Morgan. the well-known detective of Losansport, Ind. says: 1 1t is always a pleasure to acknowl- edge and to stand by a good thing, and have reason to do so regard ing yonr remedy. for my wife was
 in very serious state, tortured with rheumat sm. searched everywhere in my travels for remedies and spent a large amount of money upon spec ialists. and treatments of various kinds. without success. In the mean time my wife was getting worse her fingers were drawn up like hooks-and had given up hope of ob- i tainins cure. While in Peru, Ind, about two years ago, heard of cures that had been made by the Canadian Remedy, which Mr. Jos. NJ. Bergman had introduced to the citi- Izens. After Investigating thoroughly I became convinced that Wright's Rheumatic Remedy was something worth trying, and took a bottle home with me. The result was great surprise to my wife, myself and our friends. II did the work and did it quickly Removed the pain. swelling and aches of years Only one boz tie was used. After years of wretched suffering, my wife is we'll and enjoy ing good health. free from all the miserable symptoms of the past I have gladly told many sufferers from rheumatism and kidney trouble about your remedy, and know of many in- stances where surprising cures have taken place. My advice is, don't give up the case until you have tried the Canadian Cure. "Wrights Rheumatic Remedy" SIIAAS MORGAN.

LAW WILL STAND, SAYS TAFT
President Thinks Little of Attacks on
New Corporation Tax.

Beverly. Mass, Aug. 10. Reports
from Washington and New York that
the constitutionality Of the new corpo-
ration tax is to be tested just as soon
as an effort is made to collect it have
not disturbed the president, as he told
Il number of callers at the Taft cot
tage. The tests and the protests, the
president declared, We're all anticipat-
ed, and no threats of the corporation
lawyers now cause him any alarm.
Mr.. Taft, who is the father of the
corporation tax idea, is thoroughly con-
vinced that the tax will stand any
test that may he applied to it, Attor-
ney General Wickersham and Senator
Root collaborated on the corporation
tax provision of the tariff bill, and the
measure rs enacted, they believe, will
survive any attempt to nullify it.
Mr.. Taft said that the test cases
were but natural and that no unusual
or new system of taxation ever had
been submitted to without some sort
of fight,
