Happy Mrs. Brown. God, in His infinite
mercy, has been peculiarly partial to her,-ac-
cording to her and the priest.
Blindness has fallen on maid and matron.
child and adult, the prince and the pauper. the
white and the black; and millions have gone
through long, dismal years-as generations
came and went-wlth never a sight of the
heavens or the earth, of the face of man or
the panorama of nature. Blind children have
rolled s!ghtless balls up to mothers yearning
eyes; blind mothers have longed in vain to see
the offspring they held in their arms The
blind beggar on the streets, the blind man Of
the country home, the blind throngs in the
asylums,-the world has been full of them.
and out Of the soul of every one Of them, I'M
p1tylng fate wrung the lament of the blind
poet who dreamed of Paradise Lost and sang
that song of deepest woe:
II am 6zi7ad".
And only to think that every one of these
unfortunates might have been touched with
the arm-bOne of Anne, and been made to re-
Jolce as Mrs. Brown says she does, upon the
miraculous restoration of her sight.
The church has had Annes arm-bone all
along,-or says so, at any rate. It's miraculous
virtue must have been in it, from the very be-
ginning. If it will restore sight to blind Mis-
tress Brown, why not to blind Mrs. Smith, and
to everybody else who is blind?
Surely it did not wait 900 years for Mrs.
Brown. Surely 1t will not leave off after
curing Mrs. Brown Such partially would
be scandalous.
Let us keep .Anne's arm-bone busy. If any
one can tell us where the rest of her bones are,
we must go after them. IF her arm-bone is so
miraculous in its power, what may we not ex-
pect from her skull, or her shoulderblade, or
her thigh-bone, or her spinal column?
+bo of
excitement about this matter. IF Mrs
Browns eyesight was restored by touch of
Anne's arm-bone, there is no reason in the
world why Senator Gore should not be blessed
in the same way; no reason why blindness
cannot be banished from the world, the asy-
lums emptied, and hallelujah of ecstatic Joy,
breaking from the lips of those who were blind
but whose curse has been lifted, should not
glrdle the earth in one radiant circle of graft
tude and bliss

For no other reason in Gods world than
that the national bankers have influence
enough to maintain their own system of spe-
clal privilege and money monopoly.
They won't allow the Government to issue
paper money excepting through themselves, as
middle-men, because the direct issue of money
to the cities or the people would lessen ma
tional bank profits and power.

raised In case the common council

Forty Good Reasons.

r. II. Dedrick, 9Th Kan. Cav, Mitch
ell, Ind, says that he has 40 good rea-
sons why Congress should pass the ex-
prisoners of war pension bill. He SAYS
that most of them are like the case OF
his comrade Jesse Barton, who died
about three weeks ago. Comrade Bar
ton was a neighbor of Comrade Ded-
rick, who says that it would be hard to
find a more noble and generous man
but he died in poverty and the State
buried him. He relates of Comrade
Barton that while he was bearing alcft
the battle flag Of his regiment, amid a
storm of lead, he was struck by a burst
ing shell. which crushed three of his
ribs, and he fell helpless to the ground
The Union forces were pushed back,
and Comrade Barton was taken prs
oner He was very badly wounded, but
was cast into rebel prison and kept
there eight months, coming out a liv-
ing skeleton. Despite all this, he was
never able to get more than $l2 per
month pension. Comrade Dedrick saws
that he suffered 10 months in the rebel
stockade, and never since that time has
he been free from dreadful pain He
is quite sure that he could present hun
dreds of just such cases, which he be-
lieves are good reasons why the ex-
prisoners of war bill should be passed

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DIR. BlOsser, who.
for over thirty-lve years. has been treat
ing catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
II is not spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any Of these.
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped
up feeling that all catarrh sufferers
have. 1t heals the diseased mucous
membranes and arrests the foul dis
charge, so that you will not be con-
stantly blowing your nose and splitting,
and at the same time 1t does not poison
the system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DIR.
j. w. Blosser. 320 Walton street, ATTAIN
ia, Ga, and he will send you by return
mail enough of the medicine to satisfy
you that 1t is all he claims for 1t as a
remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma, bron-
chitis, colds and all catarrhal complica-
tons. He will also send you free an
illustrated booklet. Write him imme-
tdiatey.

an allusion made to our Last Mans

a more elaborate account of that or
ganizatiOn.
In 1885 a few of the comrades of

and organized what we called~then the
Co. B Veteran Association of the 1st

Maj. Shepard, President; VIM. NJ. May,
Vice President; Adam Marty, Secre-
tary; Sam Bloomer, Treasurer, and
those officers have held their offices
ever since. We organized with / 3 men,
bers. Not one died that year. This
was increased to % from the company,
scattered all over the United States
now. from Mississippi to the State of
Washington. OF these IL have died in
| the meantime. leaving 16 alive at pres
ent. l consider it one of the most
unique clubs of old soldiers in the Unit
ed States.
We have a banquet and meeting the
21st of July every year, and meet each
other from all over the State. some
coming hundreds Of miles to attend. -
In 1886 bottle of wine was pre-
sented to us by the father of one of our
members, Mr.. Louis Hospes, which is
always on our banquet table, about
which we gather. Every man has his
number and place, and if a member
dies his chair is reversed and draped
in black, with his name on the drapery
in his usual place and number. The
bottle of wine is to be drank by the
last man left, which gave it the name
now known as the Last Mans BAN
quet," and it will be sorrowful affair
| for the last man.
