that the other fellow knew his own

II those amphibians did not always
get the coins they generally did. They
could see them perfectly In that amaz-

seals. Some Of the divers were mere
chlldren-poor, lean creatures who
stood up In their boats and shouted
and impiored and swung their arms in
wild invitation to us to fling our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very

pennies. Perhaps they could only dis.

Rheumatism Cannot be Cured
Unless Uric.O is Used.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical re-
garding the claims of almost any remedy
advertised as cure for Rheumatism and
one can scarcely blame him for being so.
All the plasters and liniments combined
never actually cured case of Rheuma-
tism. They may relieve 1t In one quarter
but it is sure to break out. somewhere
else. The only true way to cure Rheu-
matism Is to drive 1t from the system,
for rs long as the Uric and Rheumatic
Acid remains In the blood, one is never
entirely free from the trouble. Uric-O
seeks out the Rheumatic poison In the
blood, muscles and kidneys, renders 1t
inert and harmless and drives It out of
the system. It Is composed of perfect
antidotes for the rheumatic acid poison
in the system, and the secret of its won
derful success lies In the fact that 1t Is
designed to cure Rheumatism only.

Judr. 0rosscup,s Path.


Judge Peter 8. Qrosscup, Of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court OF Appeals, CON
tributed an impressive article TO tho
December number Of The North Ameri-
can Review entitled ''God, Man and I'm.
mortality" The article IL In effect TO
ply to the article by the late Governor,
b. q. CHAM erlsin, entitled 'Some Con-
illusions of q Free Thinker" which ap-
peared In q recent number of the Review.
Judge Grosscup contends that material
istic theories Of the universe, such ca
Haeckel's, being mere deductions from
facts scientifically ascertained, have no
more claim to be regarded Is scientific
than q spiritual theory of the universe
deduced from facts which are also scien-
tiilcally asoertained. That the material
resources and forces Of the world were
placed In the world by q designing in
telligence, he thinks, Is almost convinc-
ingly suggested by the fact that these
resources and forces are of no practical
value except to man, and that man has
been endowed with the ability to dis.
cover and use them for his advantage.
Judge Grosscup concludes:
~ have excluded from this paper every
consideration based on Revelation or
Faith. have dealt with the subject az
II there were no Inspired Word-as II
the world knew nothing of Son of Man
who at the same time was Son CT God.
Bnt do not wish it to be understood
that this Jesus of Nazareth is not to me
sufficient foundation on which to rest,
in abiding security, my belief In the
world to come. When l turn over In
thought the words some great man ut
tered to his contemporaries Cromwell,
a Washington, or a Lincoln-and then
reflect what those words and that man
subsequently accomplished, new belief
attaches to their truth and wisdom.
mind the word given to us by this Jesus
of Nazareth. He was born of parents
who, but for Him, would have lived and
died a mere carpenter and his wife. He
never set foot outside province Of the
Roman Empire, that, in its day, was as
little taken notice of, by the rest of the
world, as is one of the small islands of
the Philippine Archipelago. And he
passed out of this life unmentioned in
any writing of His time, for the mention
by Josephus is probably an interpola-
ton. But His Life and His Word have
divided the world into two; everything
that has come after Him is His; every
thing that shall come after US increas-
ingly His. More than all the other
forces of civilization, more than the
combined lives of the worlds great men,
His Life and His Word have remade the
world. Why should not I, turning back,
as often do, with a new faith to the
words of the worlds great men who
have done great things, turn back to the
Life and the Words of Him, who not
only has done great things, but has re-
made the world, with an abiding faith
in their inspired truth?"
