The earl Of Aberdeen, lord lieuten-

hanging. is one Of the mildest-man-
nered and NEST kindly of men.
He takes a great interest in agricul-
ture, and one evening, while taking
a walk in country district, he paused
to watch laboring man at work in
his little garden.
Leaning over the fence, his lord
ship asked: is this good soil?"
Aye" sad the laborer dryly.
Several other questions were an.

laborer digging busily all the time.
Finally. Lord Aberdeen asked: What

Temptation Forms Character.

No man knows how good or how
bad he is until he Is sorely tried. 1t
is the fire that develops the beauty.
The gun, the bridge, the ship-these
are all put to the test, not otherwise
Is 1t with man. Temptation lends
strength to the soul that resists, and
takes power from the soul that yields.
Every time we gain a victory we add
to the sum total of our manhood.
Character comes by temptation. 1t is
the secret Of virtue. Temptation
takes innocence and turns 1t into vir.
tue. Virtue is innocence under fire.

Eats Freely But

fiUe Promptly Corrected
q Bad INDIGESTION,

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures Of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate, care should be taken In the
matter Of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
short walk after the heavy meal of
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than DR..
caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest Of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form combination for the
relief of dyspepsia or Indigestion that
is unsurpassed.
Its action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles SO
that they can again do their work nat
urally without outside aid, and when
that happy moment comes all medl-
cine can be dispensed with. 1t is the
best remedy obtainable for any dis

RECEIVER OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Mr.. Walker w. Wick of New Jersey,
general receiver of the Dominican Gus
toms for Uncle Sam, has just rem
dered the sixth annual report of the
receivership. A summary Of the re-
port shows that big business at the
Dominican capital showed some trepi-
dation when President Wilson brought
about a change of administration of
custom affairs in Santo Domingo
They feared the new broom might
sweep too clean.
As the new receivership administra-
tion gradually unfolded its purpose,
however, there was natural sub
sidence of concern within business cir
cles, and now the conclusion is in all
realms of Dominican financial and
commercial circles. that the right
kind OF sweeping has a salutary effect

William Stout, aged SO years
on the 18th Of January last, died
at ] o'clock Monday morning, at
bic home in Decaturville. after
but q short illness--just FIVE
weeks after his beloved wife,
Rozetta, had passed away after
long and painful illness.
Mr.. Stout was rather a remArk
able man. He was Born in
THAT fair old land of Scotland
far away, "and when but a lad
came to America, landing at
Boston, Massachusetts, where he
met Curry Pettigrew, the pion,
eer Decatur county, Tenn, mer-
chant, who was there on his an
nual trip for the purchase Of
merchandise. Mr.. Stout either
came to Tennessee with Mr.. Pet.
tigrew or came soon after his
return from Boston, and for sew.
eral years worked for and was
associated with him 10 business
in Decatur county. Mr.. Stout
was a man of wide reading and
rather liberal views for a Scotch.
man--but he was as firm as
adamant on anything that ap-
pealed to his convictions. He
was q Democrat, an advocate Of
temperance. q Methodist in faith
but liberal toward all, and was a
member Of the Masonic fratern.
ity, with the honors of which
his remains were laid to rest in
Decaturyille cemetery on Mon
day afternoon. He was our
friend for thirty.three years
and We regretted exceedingly
that it was impossible for us to
attend his funeral, which occur.
red on the first Monday.
Mr.. Stout lost his first wife,
who was the mother Of all his
surviving children, perhaps near
~ forty years ago and thirty.fve
years ago or more he was mar.
ried to Miss Rozetta Rains, who
bore him one child, who died in
infancy. Mrs. Rozetta died some
FIVE weeks before Mr.. Stout's
death as stated above.
Mr.. Stout is survived by thee
sons. Will, Johu and Tom, all Of
Decatur county, Mrs. j. A.
England of Decaturville, and
Mrs. Sam Fl. Williams, Of Dyers-
burg. One son. George. died in
young manhood, one daughter at
tender age. and Laura, who mar.
ried l.. T. Smith, passed away
about three years ago. As stat.
ed above. Mr. Stout was buried
with Masonic honors. As a last
word we can say that he was the
brightest, the most, intelligent
man We ever saw at his great
age. But a little while before
his death, or the last illness Of
his wife, be was active, able to
walk a quarter Of o. mile to town
every day, his eyesight was good
and his hearing acute. He loved
his friends and We are proud to-
have been counted among them.
