just as Job was the Patient Man.

the Senate one day when his nose

of his desk and broke into a great

as If nothing had happened. After
he had tried all the glasses he reached
down casually for one of the larger
pieces of his own broken lenses. held
II to the pupil OF his eye, and finished
reading some fine print. At no stage
of the proceedings did he skip IA
single note.

FACTS AND FICTION.

Experiences of Prescott citizens are
 Easily Proven to be Facts.
 The most superficial investigation will prove that the following statement from a resident of Prescott is true Read it and compare evidence from Prescott people with testimony of strangers living so far away you cannot investigate the facts of the case. Many more citizens of Prescott endorse Doan's Kidney Pills.
 W. NJ Weeks, blacksmith. Prescott, Ark, says: About year ago l had to stop work for time, owing to weak kidneys. My back pained me and on stooping to shoe horses l had sharp pains across my loins. Often my ank- les became swollen and the flesh under my eyes. The kidneys acted irregular ly and the kidney secretions were scan ty. 1 couldn't sleep well at night and 1 was very nervous. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me and got supply at Hesterly's Drug Store, 1 soon got relief and after using about box of Doan's Kidney Pills was able to do my work without pain in my back. My kidneys are in good shape now.

EuLOGY ON DOG WINS PRAlST

Representative Barnhart of Indiana demanded the other day that the house Congressional Re cord be pruned of random arti- cles on subjects outside proceed ings. Representative Langley called attention to the fact that in the last congress he obtained unanimous consent that Mir. Barnhart's S eulogy on dog be in- serted in the Congressional Re cord.
 Langley wanted to know if the Indiana member regarded that as extraneous matter.
 Il do, retorted MT. Barnhart, but inasmuch as 1 was new on my job then and it was my dog and he was dead, 1 didn't have the heart to object"
 'I had forgotten whether it was your dog, replied MT. Lang ley, "or whether the dog was dead; but I regarded it as a splendid piece of English, and l thought it would improve the re- cord.

Very many men attain Q wide reputation within the male circle of their acquaintance of being

Viewed from mere ly the selfish standpoint a young man cannot afford to be known as good fellow. aSsthe term is commonly understood, much less to be one.

IN MFMORIAM.

IN reading the announcement Of the
death Of MIR. Nehemiah H Swift. late
of Skowhegan, and with whom | was
personally acquainted, my mind went
back to the years OF 05-6. when in tn
midst of strenuous missionary effort
in the upper Somerset valley, | first
came TO know Mr.. Swift Those were
the days when the automobile, the
Somerset eXtention. and even The tele-
hone. We're little thought Of. and those
communities and people were reached
by the less rapid transit At that time
Mr.. Swift was familiar character in
that section of country. engaged as he
was in the dry and fancy goods bust.
ness. he piled his trade from SkoR he
Ean 10 the Canada line, and il is safe
10 say that there were very few homes
from one end of this route to the 9th
er, IN which Mr. Swift did not find a
cordial greeting. He was ALWAYS
social, courteous and kind and had
the faculty of making himself agree
able. and eontented under I'll cirenm-
stances. The people looked forward
to the coming of Mr. Swift and he
rarely failed them knowing that very
largely they depended upon him for
their supply of dry and fancy goods.
The writer is reminded also. that
Mr.. Swift was interested in other
things aside from his own line Of
business He seemed deeply con
cerned with the evidence of improve
ment both of the communities and il
the life Of the people. The writer re-
members with gratitude the many
words of encouragement and the glad
note Of appreciation. in reference II
the Work which at that time was being
done at the Forks and Carratunk. Not
only did he speak the word of cheer.
but emphasized it by a more substaH-
tial contribution to the financial end
of the work.
1t is indeed worth while 10 look
back over the past, and recall those
personalities. who in the desire not
only TO be blessed but to be a blessing
have passed along the word of good
cheer to the extent that when they
are gone from us we feel sense of
loss and miss their kind words and
loving ministery.
Such a life as this. l regard Mr.
Swifts TO have been, as | knew him
and | feel that of him. as of many an
other, we may safely say, He has
ceased from his labors. but his works
do follow him
