 God hath made of one blood all na- tions of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.-Paul on Mars Hill.
 We have abolished slavery from civilized countries, the owning of man by men. The next great step that the world can take is to abolish war, the killing of man by man.-Andrew Car negie.
 My first wish is to see the whole world at peace, and the inhabitants of 1t as one band of brothers, striving which should most contribute to the happiness of manltind.-George Wash lngton.

 There will be the full complement of backs broken in two, of arms twist ed wholly off, of men impaled upor their bayonets, of legs smashed uI like bits of firewood. of heads sliced open like apples, of cther heads crunched into soft jelly by the iror hoofs of horses, of faces trampled out of all likeness to anything human This is what skulks behind splen did charge. This is what follows, al matter of course, when our fellows ride at them in style and cut then up famously.-Charles Dickens.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Paris Citizen

The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is
for the public good is an act of kind
ness that should be appreciated. The
following statement given by a resi-
dent of Paris adds one more to the
many cases of home endorsement
which are being published about
Kidney Pills. Read it.
George McCandless, butcher; Paris,
KY, says: Sometime ago I had occa-
sion to use a kidney remedy. I had
backaches and disordered kidneys.
The way Doan's Kidney Pills stopped
the trouble proved their merit"
Mr.. McCandless is only one of many
Paris people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-If your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mr.. Nc
Candless had-theremedy backed by

Woman will insist that her husband

to be some bear.
Of course thing of beauty may be
joy forever, but that is no excuse

nearly always gives up riding horse
