EARNEST ADVICE

However painful, however stub
born your rheumatism may be, even
if the diseases Of long standing and
many remedies have failed, do not
despair, but give DR.. Williams
Pink Pills trial The rheumatic
poison is in the blood and it deties
any treatment that does not build
up and purify the blood. Rubbing
something on your skin will not
drive it out. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills attack the disease at it's root,
in the blood, and rheumatism
cured in this way stays cured.
Mr.. Charles z. Montgomery, Of
Packer, Conn, who cured him
self of rheumatism with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills tells his expert
ence, as follows: CATER my dis
charge from the army in 1898, l
suffered terribly from rheumatic
pains and numbness. Attimes the
numbness was very bad and greatly
alarmed me. The rheumatic pains
were in the joints of my left arm
and leg and invariably followed a

dication of the rheumatism. My
left foot was swollen and sore, so
much so, that could not lace my
shoe sometimes. At times | was
practically helpless for two or three
weeks. The pains in my arm and
leg were sharp and cutting. / tried
all known medicines and saw little
if any benefit from their treatment.
I finally ordered box of DR.. Will
Iiams' Pink Pills and che second
box showed great benefit. A few
more boxes were all that were
needed to make me entirely we'll. "

friends had sent him from Verdun, to
the 1narechal des logis, to hunt the
wild rabbits which swarm upon the
ramparts. The marechal was a capital
old fellow, with mania for what he

the proposal. 1t was said of him that,
sooner than come home with an emp

way of game, and eat them too!

when the time came they would not
pass the gates without us, and the
marechal, rather than lose the sport
upon which he had set his heart, al

made the most of our opportunity
and by kicking up the grass and wan

it would mean scaling a wall, climb

No Reason Why Anyone Should Suf-
fer With Such a Disheartening
Experience.

No case of contagious blood poison Is
ever cured until the last particle OF the
virus has been removed from the circula-
ton. The least faint left in the blood
will, sooner or later, cause a fresh out
break of the trouble, with all it's hideous
and destructive symptoms of liberated
mouth and throat, copper coloFed
splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers,
etc. No other medicine so surely cures
contagious blood poison as S. S. S. It
goes down into the blood and steadily
and surely drives out every particle OF
the infection. 1t absolutely and perfectly
purifies the blood, and leaves this vital
fluid as fresh, rich and healthy as it was
before the destructive virus of contagious
blood poison entered the circulation.
s. S. S. quickly takes effect on the BLOOD
and gradually the symptoms disappear,
the health is improved, the skin cleared
of all spots, sores and other blemishes,
the hair stops coming out, the mouth ana
throat heal and when S. S. S. has
cleansed the system of the poison no
trace of the disease is left. S. S. s.
cures contagious blood poison because 1t
is the greatest of all blood purifiers,
tested and proven in hundreds and hun
dreds of cases all over the country.
You will find S. S. S. for sale in all
drug stores at 81. 90 per bottle. Write to

Eyerybody's Doing 1t.

What! A bootblack found in New
York with seven shares of Standard
Oil stock, worth $4,000, bought and
paid for out of his humble earnings!
Get out the gallows at once and hang
him as high as Hannah. And this boot
black says that anyone can do it. He
used to shine the shoes of the Rock
efellers in the Standard Oil building.
HE came to the conclusion that if old
John d. Rockefeller could put his
money in Standard Oil stock it would
be a good investment for bootblack.
So he purchased share after share as
fast as his savings accumulated and
thus made himself partner of the
Rockefellers. When the bootblack
put his shares in court as security for
a friend the truth leaked out. But
the bootblack is right. Any one can
buy Standard Oil stock and get the
same dividends that Mr.. Rockefeller
does. All the shareholders are part
ners and all are assured of square
deal. The same might be said with
reference to the other so-called trusts
in this country. Any one can buy
shares of the Steel Corporation, or
the so-called Sugar Trust or any 9TH
er Industrial or railway money-mak-
ing corporation. Everyone can buy
these shares at the same price, and
can thank Wall street for making a
market where they can be bought.
There is plenty of humbug in the out
cry against the bloated stockholders
of the great corporations. There new
er was time when SO many investors
of small means were stockholders in
great corporations and sharers in all
their profits.-Leslie's Weekly.

CHAUTAUQUA FOR DECoISAH.
ARRANGEMENTS Practically Complet-
ed for Home Assembly Here July
9th to August Sd.

Last evening a number of the
business men interested in provid-
ing wholesome entertainment for
the people during the hot summer
months, held meeting at the x. P.
hall and discussed the proposed
chautauqua or home assembly, for
DEBORAH, the dates of which, If held,
will be July 9th to August Sd. MIR.
Turner, the gentleman who was
here promoting the assembly, and
who is in charge of it, offers very
interesting program of eight days
entertainment, which is something
different than the ordinary chautau-
qua. 1t includes daily concerts by
Maupin"s celebrated band, lectures
by various well known speakers, "a
domestic science course, a band of
indians, the Hiawathas, a herd of
trained ponies, dogs, ETC., cartoonists,
and other special features not found
in the regular chautauqua courses.
We believe that the course offered
here will appeal to our people, and
that an assembly of this character
properly managed would be a success
The committee will take the matter
up further with Mr.. Turner and an
nouncements will be made as the
time approaches.

Rows And Farming

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
boys of Cedar Rapids seem to take
readily to scientific farming as it has
been carried on, on the site OF the
future Grant school house, in the
southwestern part of the city. The
school board wisely selected an eight
acre tract for this school and while
the grounds are not otherwise used
an experimental farm has been car
ried on in which many children nave
participated, the girls as well as the
boys. Some of the boys have become
so enamoured of scientific cultivation
of the soil that they have taken
small tracts adjoining and will carry
on operations that promise to yleld
them good incomes during their vaca-
tons. A boy who will cultivate five
acres of land as land can be cultivat-
ed will be devoting his time to use
full education and it will be an edu-
cation with an income attached. We
learn that some of the boys as re-
suit of their training on this piece OF
land want to become tillers of the
soil in fact as well as in theory.
This little experiment shows what
can be done along agricultural edu-
cation. There is nothing more fas-
cinating to boys and girls than the
growing of things. To plant and to
watch garden and to convert it's
proceeds into money is in itself some
thing of an education for any boy,
an education in gardening.

prevented by the quick action and
bravery of Engineer Ludwig and

THE CHILD HEART.


The child heart is so strange a little
thing
When grown up hearts throb, it goes
scampering
Behind the wall, nor dares peer
out at all!
1t is the veriest mouse
That hides in any house
So wild a little thing is any child
heart
Child-heart-mild heart!
Ho! my little wild heart!
Come up here to me out of the dark.
Or let me come to you!
So lorn at times the child-heart
needs must be,
With never one maturer heart for
friend
And comrade, whose tear-ripened
sympathy
And love might lend it comfort to
the end
Whose yearning aches and stings
Over poor little things
Were pitiful as ever any Child
heart.
Child-heart, mild heart!
Ho, my little wild heart!
Come up here to me out O. the dark,
Or let me come to you!
Times, too, the little Child-heart
must be glad,
Being SO young, nor knowing, as
we know,
The fact from fantasy, the good from
bad,
The joy from woe, the-all that
hurts us so!
What wonder then that thus
1t hides away from us
So weak little thing is any Child
heart.
Child-heart, mild heart!
Ho, my little wild heart!
Come up here to me out O. the dark,
Or let me come to you!
Nay, my little Child-heart, you have
never need
To fear us-we are weaker far
than you
IT'S we who should be fearful-we
indeed
Should hide us, too, as darkly as
you do
Safe as yourself, withdrawn,
Hearing the world roar on
Too willful, woeful, awful for the
childish heart,
Child-heart, mild heart!
Ho, my little wild heart!
Come up here to me out O. the dark,
Or let me come TO you,
james Whitcomb Riley.
