THING THAT PUZZLED BILLY
Was Sure Elevator Moved, but Prog
ress Was Not Apparent to
His Eyes.

Billy was a quaint old darkey who
had come to the city for the first
time. One day his employer sent him
with note to a man whose ONCE was
on an upped floor Of a skyscraper,
where every floor of the building was
arranged and finished like the flrst
one. Billy was directed by the eleva-
tor boy to ented the ''lift." and he
would then show him to the office he
wanted. 1t was Billy's first expert
ence In an elevator. and he did not
rightly understand the nature or pur-
pose OF 1t. On his return he describ-
ed some of his experiences to his en-
ployer.

ORIGIN OF A SONG
History Of "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale"
Touching Little Ditty Composed by
an Iowa Physician Fifty Years
Ago Has Since Been Sung
Around the World.

Des Moines. Iowa.-Not so very
long ago the writer attended a great
religious convention. There were
thousands of people in attendance
There were great speeches and great
singing. The influence of this great
meeting was so inspiring that hum
dreds of men marched the streets with
banners bearing appropriate notices.
Nearly every convention has favor
lite song. The favorite song at this
convention was, THE Little Brown
Church in the Vale" and it was sung
with an enthusiasm that would make
any one want to come to the church
in the wildwood or anywhere else
where church might be located.
The town Of Bradford. Iowa. has to
do with the history of the song. The
homes in this little village. as. easter
ners would call 1t. are of the New Eng
land type and shelter class Of people
who stand for moral. intellectual and
religious development.
In 1859 or 1860-er thereabouts-
the good people of Bradford resolved
to build a church where they might
worship God and teach their children
the importance Of Christian living and
Christian service. The times were
close and the people were poor; but.
being masters of circumstances and
not their abject slaves" they con-
quered the hard times and their pow
erty by donations Of stone. lumber.
hardware. paint. and labor. The Con-
gregational Church Building Society
came forward with a generous dona-
ton Of money. and the little brown
church was ready for dedication with
out debt.
A little to the south of Bradford
lies the little town of Fredericksburg

Incident overIooked.

A New Englad farmer. noted for
his uncontrolled temper. became con-
verted, according to the st. Louis Re
public.
A month later he was holding forth
to number Of friends and relatives
gathered at the Thanksgiving dinner
table on the subject of his religious
principles, his entire change of char
acter and his kind and forbearing dis
position.
Finally growing enthusiastic in his
description, he called on his wife to
uphold his assertions.
Jane" he shouted, you haven't
had an unkind word or deed from me

WAS NOT THE WHOLE THING
Sweet Girl In Error When She Imao-
ined Herself Sole Empress Of
"His" Heart.

She imagined his room with her
photograph smiling down at him from
over the mantel, while another OF her
photos looked demurely at him from
a leather case on the dressing table.
She could see him often standing In
front Of her mirrored likeness and ma
king vows of constancy and fidelity.
She knew he would rather part with
anything he had than those Iikenesses.
But they had quarreled and she felt
she must ask him to return her photo
graphs, and she wrote him accord
ingly.
When she received his reply she
nearly tainted. Here is what the
wretch wrote:
Dear Mabel: / would like awfully
much to return your photos, but, hon
estly, you girls all dress and pose so
much alike for the camera, that
can't tell any two of you apart. II
you like, Will send you over 300 or
400 photos that l have Of miscellane-
Gus girls, and you can pick yours out.
Hoping this will be satisfactory, am.
sincerely. etc., etc"-Royal Magazine.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale on, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, 1t just seemed as
though could tear the skin all of.
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off. and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
ried me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
| was so afraid l would have to give
up my employment.
MY doctor said he didn't think it
would amount to anything. But it kept
getting worse. One day saw a piece
in one of the papers about lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint.
ment and was cured. / decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before had used one cake of Cuti-
cura Ointment. I am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
/ was cured, and did not have to lose
day from work. / have had no re-
turn of the skin trouble" (Signed)

LIFE SAVED BY
FRIENDS ADVICE

About three years ago I suffered with
appendicitis and after having an operation
performed it left me with severe case
of kidney trouble. was doctored by sew
eral physicians and getting no relief took
the advice of a friend and procured a bot
tie of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. After
taking the contents of the first bottle felt
greatly relieved and decided to continue it.
After using the contents of three more dol
lar bottles, experienced a complete cure.
cannot recommend DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root too highly to anyone suffer-
ing from kidney or bladder trouble.

house one day and ASKED for mug of
beer in great hurry. stating that he
was so dry that he thought he could

II he would drink it at one draught.

his lips, he should have it for nothing.

The landlord then drew a gallon of
ale. and slyly slipping a red herring
into the measure, handed it to Pat
who eagerly raised it to his mouth
and drank away until the measure was
almost perpendicular. The publican's
eyes followed the motion in astonish-

best years of his life to his profession.
DR.. Pitts was quite a noted man
and had a large and increasing prac-
tice. His round of calls included
Bradford. He was well acquainted
with her people and took lively in
terest in everything that pertained
to their welfare. He heartily seconded
their efforts in building the little
church. DR.. Pitts was also a man Of
musical and literary turn of mind.
Just prior to the dedication of the
church he was inspired to write q
song to be used on dedication day. He
said. speaking of his songs, II call
them inspirations, as they came to
me with force. and had to write them
out"
The name Of the song may not have
been less inspired. The little church
Is surrounded by large. stately trees
whose overhanging branches have
sheltered both 1t and its worshippers
from the hot rays of the summers sun
and the cold blasts Of the winters
wind. And as he thought Of this little
sanctuary surrounded by these great
giants Of the forest whom God planted
there. as II to protect His chosen ones
from harm. he penned this title, THE
Little Brown Church in the Vale" to
his song and wrote:
There's a church in the valley by the
wildwood.
No livelier place in the dale:
No spot 10 so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vaie.
How sweet on q bright Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh. come to the church In the vale.
There. close by the church in the valley.
Lies one that I loved so well;
She sleeps. sweetly sleeps. meath the VIII
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
There. close by the side of that loved
Meath the tree where the wild flowers
bloom.
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
shall rest by her side In the tomb.
CHORUS.
oh. come. come, come, come,
Come to the church in the wildwood.
Oh, come to the church in the vale:
No spot Is SO dear to my childhood
As the little brown church In the vale.
This little bit Of history will correct
wrong impression that 'The I.iffla
Brown Church in the Vale" is only
child OF the imagination. and to as
sure all that 1t is "a sure enough
church" and can be seen by any one
who win make pilgrimage to Brad
ford. The Little Brown Church" still
remains as a monument to the enter
prise and devotion Of the pioneer
Christians of the vicinity OF Brad
ford.

"At that time was healthy and en-

course of time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto

my stomach became SO deranged that

Finally began to suspect that cof-
fee was the cause Of my troubles. ex-
