A MPARISON.

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sis
ter of our own Grover, has come to
the front as vigorous and aggressive
suffragette. 1t will be remembered
that when Mr.. Cleveland, as a bache-
Tor, first took possession of the white
house, this lady was installed as its
mistress. Her reign was short, and
not particularly brilliant She per-
sister. evn at that time, in wearing
her hair cut short; and no doubt the
principles which are now full blown
were in the bud. At all events, Miss
Cleveland rasped social sensibilities;
and her brother, with the wisdom
which always distinguished him, ex-
cused her from the duties of mistress
of the white house, and put in her
place the admirable lady who to this
day represents the best and highest
type of American womanhood, and
who did so much to make the Cleve-

Circulation Double That of Any

If THOU ART A CHRISTIAN.

If thou art Christian in deed and
thought,
Loving thy neighbor as Jesus taught,
Living all days in the sight of heaven
And not one only out of seven,
Sharing thy wealth with the suffer
ing poor,
Helping all sorrow that Hope can
cure,
Making religion a truth in the heart,
And not a cloak to be worn in the
mart,
Or in high cathedrals and chapels
and fanes,
Where priests are traders and count
the gains,
All Gods angels will say "well
done!"
Whenever thy mortal race is run.
White and forgiven,
Thoult enter heaven.
And pass unchallenged, the golden
gate,
Where welcoming spirits watch
and wait
To hail thy coming with sweet ac-
cord
To the holy city of God the Lord,
If Peace is thy prompter, and Love
is thy guide,
And white-robed charity walks by thy
side;
If thou tellest the truth without oath
to bind,
Doing thy duty to all mankind
Raising the lowly, cheering the sad,
Finding some goodness cen in the
bad,
And owning with sadness, if badness
there be,
There might have been badness in
thine and thee,
If conscience, the warder that keeps
the whole,
Had utterd no voice to thy slumber-
ing soul
All Gods angels will say well
done!"
whenever thy mortal race is run.
White and forgiven,
Thoul't enter heaven.
And pass unchallenged, the golden

Where welcoming spirits watch

To hail thy coming with sweet ac.

WHY THE REFORM?

The reform of life insurance admin
istration was mainly aimed to sepa-
rate it from Wall street finance and
financiers. Ryan was tolerated in get
ting control of the Equitable stock
because he was the alternative of the
insatiate Hartman. He also passed
it over to a trusteeship, including Gro
yer Cleveland, which was looked upon
as full guarantee of honest manage
ment. The transfer of the stock to
j. P. Morgan, as announced, may mean
no i'll to the policyholders or the life
insurance system, but it looks like a
reversion to the old state of a foot
ball of "frenzied finance" -Vicksburg
Herald.

That man is a non-essential, is a
common belief "If he dies, some
body else can take his place." is a
generally accepted statement; but it
Is not true. The really successful
man has his place to fill, and no one
else can fill it quite so WELL There
are always other men willing to take
his place, but can they do it? Are
they ready in the sense of prepared
ness? When Stonewall Jackson fell,
there was no man to take his place
When an assassin's bullet spilled the
life-blood of Edward w. Carmack,
there fell man so far above his fell
lows that no man has yet been found
in Tennessee to measure to his stat
ure; no man so great terror to evil
doors; no man so great a power for
general good. When Walter Ken
nedy died he left vacant place on
the editorial page of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal which is vacant
still; when his life went out, the light
and sparkle of his page faded and
died away, and it's lack-luster is like
pail of mourning for his sad de-
mise. 1t is not true that a full-grown
man is in any sense a non-essential.
He is the most essential force in all
this world. There are men living
now who, when they are gone, will
leave a vacant chair that never can
be filled. there is only one Henry
Watterson living, When he lays down
his pen and goes away into that far
country from which no traveller has
yet returned, he will leave behind
vacant chair that nevermore will be
fled. A man who does his work bet
ter than any other man can do it fills
a place that no other man can fill.
And there are thousands of such men.
some In church, some in state, some in
the private and humble walks of life:
some in the home. They are not al
ways appreciated most while they are
living; but they are missed when they
are gone. Somehow" you often hear
IL said, things have not gone just
right since he has gone" Every man
mas his little niche to fill, and when
ne mis- 1t right he is Gods essential
for that place.

is a lean and hungry Cassius; he

Mr.. Taft, good, amiable man that
he is, is the sorry creature of environ
ment. He has the purpose to do
right, but not the backbone to make
his purpose good. He loves his coun-
try, but he fears his enemies. He
would serve his people if he might,
but he will serve his masters if he
must.

while the most that was expected of
him was to speak in generalities, he
was a star performer of great merit;

in the balance and found wanting

is no peace. He will try to please,
and fail. He will be damned if he
does and damned if he don't" His
sun will set behind a rosy cloud of
promises unfulfilled He will fail to
score. Not because he is bad man,
but because he is not leader of men.

In every little town cotton would have

Pellet fef 0yspepsia-If the
Remedy Fails It Costs
Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the peo-
pie that Indigestion and Dyspepsia can
be permanently relieved and that Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets will bring about
this result, we will furnish the medi-
cine absolutely free if it fails to give
satisfaction to any one using it.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientifis skill used in de-
vising their formula as well as to
the care exercised in their manufac-
ture, whereby the well-known prop
critics of Bismuth-Subnitrate and Pep
sin have been combined with Car
minatives and other agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized
by the entire medical profession as
invaluable in the treatment of indi-
gestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep.
STA Tablets is prepared by a process
which develops it's greatest efficiency.
Pepsin supplies to the digestive ap-
paratus one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, and with
out it the digestion and assimilation
of food are impossible.
The carminatives possess properties
which aid in relieving the disturb
ances and pain caused by undigested
food. This perfect combination of
these ingredients makes a remedy in
valuable for the complete relief of in
digestion and dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that we
urge you to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
