have just landed at Riga and have
been rushed to the front south of that
city to meet onslaughts of German

A hearing in this matter had been
set in Judge Coles court for October

Of the Finest Attributes Of

Great as Washington was, yet In
his breast brightly burned the light Of
humility. One of the favorite pao-
sages of Washington's farewell mes
sage reads as follows:
Though In reviewing the incidents
Of my administration, am uncon-
scious of intentional error, am, new.
ertheless. too sensible Of my defects,
not to think II probable that I may
have committed many errors. What
ever they may be. feryently beseech
the Almighty to avert or mitigate the
evil to which they may tend. shall
also carry with me the hope that my
country will never cease to view them
with indulgence and that after 45
years OF my life dedicated to Its serv-
ice with an upright zeal, the faults of
Incompetent abilities will be consigned
to oblivion. AS myself soon must be to
the mansions Of rest"

a remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where II could be bought at small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, 30 that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name Of
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names Of Or. Pierce and his medicines
