THE VILLAGE DEACON.


The greatest proof in the world
that poets are born and not made is
the manuscript they turn in to the
printer.
Take 1t from me: Mighty few
men are as bold and incorporating
in their own homes as they are down
town.
The recall may be all right, but
what we really need ID a measure
10 keep grandstanders from getting
out on the stump and shouting, Il
stand for the people,"
The greatest trouble l have in my
reform work is that the people Will
mot take advice. They are always
loaded and insist on giving me about
nineteen yards Of 1t.

OF thinking that 1t would bust up

also told the brethren on numerous
occasions that II they did certain
thing in lodge, 1t would end the
lodge. But again was disappointed.
The certain thing was done and the
lodge not only continued tc exist but
actually flourished in spite Of my
prophecy. All of us bank too much
ON the little Il" in our system. BY
using It freely we can make a noun
tain out Of molehill any old foy.
That same "1'' appears mighty big to
us, but when the other fellows get
busy they shoot 1t SO full Of holes
IN two minutes that 1t sinks like a
chunk Of lead. So that's another
worry we ought to forget. The church
and the party and the lodge will go
on ip spite OF us.

corded to them the same privileges
we have arrogated to ouTselvesI
Have we made It a practice to stretch
forth our hand to give them pull
instead Of a shove? Have we tried
to let the other fellows always get
half a loaf While we we're gobbling
up a whole one? Have we always
kept the vicious and jealous traits In
our makeup under control and turn
ed a deaf ear to the idle gossiper
and character destroyer? II we have
done these things our friends are

Old Man Blowloud is a great but
tinsky. The other day was talking
confidentially on a matter of business
with a couple of friends when he
stepped up and began to take 1t all
In. We looked at him sharply, but
1t never phased Old Blowloud. He
noticed the lull in our talk and said,
Just go right ahead, gentlemen. Pay
no attention to me-" Some day the
doctors will pick UP what is left of
Old Blowloud and put It in an ambu-
lance and take 1t to the hospital.

Some people are SO thrifty that
they refuse to give anything to the
churches on the theory that they can
do their own praying.

There are lots of ways to waste
time foollshly, but singing campaign
songs has all other schemes beaten
country block.
once knew a fellow who in the
flower Of his manhood had a good
business started and bright prospects
for the future. But he got interested
in politics and soon came to the con-
clusion that unless he got into the
game the country was a goner. lie
began to neglect his business to go
out and battle for freedom. He would
trust his most important transactions
to hired help in order to have more
time to swing his battle ak. His ousl-
ness began to droop and fade away,
and in little while he had no BUSH
ness. But he was posted He
could talk on everything that ever
came up in the realmn of politics.
He abused and vilified people because
they didn't see things as he did. He
called men who had been his friends
and nelghbors grafters and yeggmen
because they would not join him in
his silly crusades, His eyes took
on a wild look and people began to
shun him. His credit was no good
at the banks, at the stores or any
place else. He hammered away in
a harness way for a few years and
finally got an office. The populace
triumphantly elected him president
of the down and out club. That's
what will become of you II you waste
all your time trying to save the coun-
try.
A friend takes me to task and
tells me l would feel better II II
would think all men honest instead of
imagining that most men are crook
ed. l used to try that scheme and
will admit for arguments sake that
! did feel better, but 1t kept me broke
all the time.
The next thing congress will have
to do will be to enact law to sup
press weather prophets. They are
getting SO numerous they are inter-
fering with honest work and threaten
to take the country.

They are curable in great majority OF
all cases
Let MS cite typical case-that Of
Mr.. r. + Nitsckke, of 1916 Spaight
street, Madison, Wis. There had been
eight physicians on this case and il
got so extreme that he finally had ono
Of the last symptoms, namely. failing
sight. In January. 1907, the doc
tors admitted that nothing further
could be done, and they sent him to
Eureka Springs, Ark He continued TO
get worse, the dropsy finally reaching
the stomach, heart and lungs, At one
time tests showed albumen as high as
75 per cent.
He learned of Fulton S Renal Com.
und and began 10 lake it July Sd
Dropsy began slowly 10 decline and the
albumen dropped TO forty. then to
twenty. then to ten, and finally to two
per cent in May, 1908.
The patient is now back to his EN-.
ployment and is devoting his full time
to his business.
Patients desiring to know more of
this treatment can get full literature
by writing TO the John j. Fulton com.
pany. 2l2 First street, San Francisco,
