Only a little shrivelled seed It might be flower or grass o weed; Only a box of earth on the edg Of a narrow, dust window ledge Only a few scant summer showers Only a few dear shining hours; That was all. Yet God could maki Out of these for a sick child' sake, A blossom wonder as fair ani sweet As ever broke at an angel's feet. Only a life of barren pain Wet with sorrowful tears foi rain; Warmed sometimes by a wonder. ing gleam Of joy that seemed but a happy dream. A life as common and brown and bare As the box of earth in the win dow there; Yet it bore at least the precious bloom Of a perfect soul in a narrow room Pure as the snowy leaves that fold Over the flower's heart of gold. -Henry Van Dyke. Just What Eveay One Should Do. Mr. J. T. Barber, of Irwinville, Ga., atways keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy at hand ready for instant use. Attacks of colie, cholera morbus and diarrhoea comes on so suddenly that there is no time to hunt a doctor or go to a store for medicine. Mr. - Barber says: "I have tried Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoa Remedy which is one of the best medicines I ever saw. I keep a bottle of it in my room as I have had several attacks of colic and it has proved to be the best medicine I ever used." For sale by Obear Drug Co. One liundred Years Ago. Here are a few facts which show how much more convenient life is to-day than in "the gor'd old days" about which we hear. Not until February of 1812 did the people of Kentucky know that Madison was elected Presi :lent in the previous November. In 1884 one of the leading rail coads of the United States printed :m itstime table. "The locomo tive will leave the depot every lay at 10 o'clock, if the weather is fair."

In England], some centuries ige, if an ordinary workman, vithout permission, moved from me parish to another, in search >f work or better wages, he was >randed with a hot iron. When Benjamin Franklin first ~hought of starting a newspaper n Philadelphia, many of his riends advised against it, because here was a paper published in Boston. Some of then doubted hat the country would be able o support two newspapers. One hundred years ago, the astest land travel in the world vas on the Great North Road in England, after it had been put in ts best condition. There the fork mail-coach tore along at he rate of ninety miles a day, .nd many persons predicted livine vengeance on such unseem y haste. When Benjamin Franklin first ook the coach from Philadelphi a o New York he spent four days~ *n the journey. He tells us that s the old driver jogged along, he pout his time knitting stockings. 'wo stage coaches and eight orses sufficed for all the comn ierce that was carried on between 'hiladelphia and New York, and 2 the winter the journey accupied week.

It is a medicine, not a cheap food or condition powder. Though put up in coarser form than Thedford's Black-Draught, rernowned for the cure of the digestion troubles of persons, it has the same qualities of invigorating digestion, stirring up the torpid liver and loosening the constipated bowels for all stock and poultry. It is carefully pre pared and its action is so healthful that stock grow and thrive with an .occasional dose in their food. It I.. cures hog cholera and makes hogs grow fat. It cures chicken cholera and roup and makes hens lay. It cures constipation, distemper and colds in howses, murrain in cattle, W and makes a draught animal do more work for the food consumed. y( It gives animals and fowls of all ai kinds new life. Every farmer and h~ raiser should certainly give it a trial. It costs 25c. a can and saves ten times its price in profit. s Prrrsanle, Kas., March 25,1904. g I have been using your Black-Draught stock and Poultry Medicine on my flC stock for some time.

"I have a son that had brain fever when two years old, followed by fits of the worst type. and he vw pronounced. incurable. I spent hundreds of dollars for him, without relief.
