THE Pow. ER OF SUGGESTION.

ssThe less man thinks about
himself, and the least medicine he
takes, the better he is off," We
are rather inclined to think that
there is a great deal of truth in the
above remark recently made to us
by member of the medical profess
sion.
To the first half of the proposition
we can heartily assent. How many
people we know who spend much
of their time in recounting list of
their imaginary aches and ills. One
of the easiest ways of insuring "a
good talk" and "a long listen" from
q friend is to ask him how he is feel
ing. Did you ever observe with
what apparent delight he relates to
you all his symptoms even to the
minutest detail?
We need physicians, but we also
need an enlightened public senti-
ment that will induce people to go
to their family doctor, in time, and
tell him all their troubles. Don't
wait until it is too late, and then
expect your physician to do the i'm
possible. An ounce of prevention
even in medicine, is worth pound
of cure.

CIRCUIT RIDERS ESTATE
INVENTORIED BY HIS WIFE.
Cora Harris Says Dead Husband

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. Mrs
Cora Harris, author of The Circuit
Riders Wife, has filed with w. f.
Hunt, clerk of the county court, an
inventory of her late husbands es-
tate that is probably unique in court
records. Her husband, the Rev.
Lundy H. Harris, who was common
ly supposed to be the real Circuit
Rider of the story, killed himself by
taking morphine at Pine Lodge, near
Gainesville, Ca, on September 18.
The county court clerk asked for
an inventory of his estate, and Mrs.
Harris has written a letter stating
that the major part of IL was in
vested in heavenly securities, the
value of which have been variously
declared in this world and highly
taxed by the various churches, but
never realized. She writes of Mr..
Hunt
81 have your card stating that if l
do not furnish an inventory of the
estate of Lundy H. Harris, of which
l was appointed Administrative,
within ten days from the receipt of
this notice you will proceed as the
law directs.
Il did not know that it was my
duty to furnish such an inventory,
and now that you demand it l do
not know how to do it. If the one

not with the intention of showing
an egregious sentimentality that /
say l find it impossible to give you
complete and satisfactory inven-
tory of the estate of Lundy H. Har-
ris. The part that l give is so small
that it is insignificant and mislead-
ing. At the time of his death he had
S2S5 in his purse, SIG in the Union
Bank and Trust Company, of this
city (Nashville), about four hundred
books and the coffin in which he was
buried, which cost about $S5.

Lawyers Lead In Both Chambers,

tor Has Seat.

TOR Has Seat.
Harrisburg, Jan. 9.-Professions
businesses and occupations to the
number of fifty-four are represented
in the present membership of the
General Assembly of Pennsylvania.
Consistent with the lawmaking
qualities of the Legislature, the law
yers head the list in both the House
and Senate in point of numbers. The
House has thirty-nine lawyers, while
in the Senate, out of a total mem
bership of fifty, there are seventeen
members of the bar.
In the House the farmers follow
the lawyers numerically. There are
twenty-three tillers of the Pennsylva-
mia soil in the lower branch, while
the Senators who gain their living
by coaXing products from the field
number but four. The merchants
in the Senate are tie with the farm
ers in point of numbers, there being
four merchant-Senators, while in the
House the merchants number six
teen.
There is only one clerk in the
Senate-that is, a clerk who is a
Senator-while twelve clerks are
now acting as Representatives In
the House there are nine manufac-
turers and in the Senate there are
three.
Ten contractors are in the House,
while there are but two in the SEN
ate. There is tie on bankers, each
branch boasting of two members of
this financial standing. The House
has something on the Senate for in
struction. Six teachers are members
of the House while the Senate
hasn't any.
Both Senate and House are we'll
equipped with physicians The
House has six while the Senate has
two. The House can have it's pre-
scriptions filled, because there are
three druggists occupying desks.
There is tie in coal dealers, each
branch having one member engaged
in this business, while both the Sen
ate and House can boast of a funer-
al director each. The Senate has a
journalist, while the House has a re-
porter. Three lumber dealers are
in the House and three are in the
Senate.
The House has one clergyman,
and the Senate has none, but then
the Senate has one laundryman while
the House hasn't any. Cleanliness is
next to godliness anyhow. The
House ought to get along better than
the Senate because the House has
three managers, while the Senate
only has one.
The House on paper looks to be
more prosperous than the Senate, as
three of the members of the former
are listed as retired" No one is
retired" in the Senate. The Sen
ate has one publisher. The House
can boast of three publishers and
two printers, and in addition has a
bookseller and a bookkeeper.
Mining plays an important part
in the membership of the House
| There are four members listed as
miners, one listed as mining" and
one as superintendent of mines
There are four engineers in the
House but this is discounted by the
fact that there as one consulting en-
gineer in the Senate.

indigestion
Relief in Five Minutes and Perma-

Relief in Five Minutes and Perma-
nent Cure or Money Back.
When G. w. Peil states that he
has a remedy that only costs soc
and is guaranteed to cure any man
or woman who suffers from food
fermentation, or money back, what
are the poor stomach sufferers in
Honesdale and vicinity going to do
about it?
Food fermentation causes belch-
ing, sour stomach, gas eructation,
heartburn and that lump of lead
feeling as you probably know.
The name of this most remark
able stomach prescription is Mo-
MA. Most people call them MILO
MA stomach tablets because they
know that there is no remedy so
good for indigestion or stomach dis
orders. Here is one opinion:
Il have been troubled with indi-
gestion for more than a year. l
bought one box of MI-O-NA and it
cured me. Now l would not be
without box in the house for IS.
1t saves a lot of doctor bills when
you can be cured for so cents
Arthur Sederquest, Nichols St..
Wakefield, Mass.
MI-O-NA stomach tablets cost so
cents a box at G. w. Peils and
druggists everywhere and money
back if they don't cure.

Disciples of Erastatus.
Editor THE CITIZEN:
The defamers and muckrakers are
again at work. Skulking behind
technicalities as usual while they
spread their venom, so there is no
redress. So the cur skulks behind
the fence, while he snaps at your
heels. 1t is said there are disciples
of Erostatus to-day who try to be-
come notorius by destroying some
thing of mark; pulling down or try
ing to pull down some mans high
reputation, poisoning the minds and
hearts of those who come in con-
tact with their emanations, by in
uendos and suggestion, which their
false lips dare not put in words.
They sometimes seek to hide with
a cloak their own blighting example
in the community, vainly. Like
produces like the universe through.
Hatred, envy, malice and revenge
have children which come home to
stay.
Henry w. Beecher aptly said:
Some men speak gold of you, some
silver, some iron, some lead and
some always dirt; for they have a
natural attraction toward that which
is evil, and l think it shows penetra-
tion in them. l will not say that it
is not Christian to make beads of
other mems faults and tell them over
every day; l say it is Internal!
"If you wish to know how the
devil feels, you do know if you are
such a one"
Evil speaking given a little time
brings it's own redress, for it turns
the blood to poison and lips to clay!
