. * ?: ' . -: " ? " ^20000*0 TOMORROW. g T7"1NG H ASSAM, well-belov ^ J-^- ed was wont to say, & When aught went wrong or any labor failed, "Tomorrow friends will be anoth er day!" And in that faith he slept and so prevailed. Long live this proverb? While the world shall roll, Tomorrow's fresh shall rise from out the night And new-baptize the indomitable soul With courage for its never ending fight. No one, I say, is conquered till he yields; And yield he need not while, like mist from glass, God wipes the stain of life's old battlefields From every moyiing that he brings to pass. New day, new hope, new courage! Let this be, O soul, thy cheerful creed. What's yesterday, With all its shards and wrack and grief, to thee? ? Forget it then-here lies the victor's way. 2 -Selected. .? oooooo? e o ooo ooo? oooooooooo Judge Lindsay's Temperance Declaration. It is only within recent years that I have determined to be a total ab stainer, because I think it best for my physical and moral health, and because I wish to set a good exam ple to others. I believe that every boy and girl should be taught to avoid liquor in any form, as he would be taught to avoid poison in any form. The consumption of liquor, no matter in how small a quantity, when ta ken in the form of beer, wine, or whisky, etc., is simply another form of slowly poisoning the body. I wish every boy in America would keep the pledge to refrain from intoxicating liquor of any j kind or character as a beverage; to do all in his power to end thc drink habit of tho liquor traffic; and to abstain from the use of tobacco in any form. I have been in the Juvenile Court ten years, and in that time I have had to deal with thousaneTs and thousands of boys who have dis graced themselves and their parents, and who have brought sorrow and misery into their lives; and I do not know of any one habit that is more responsible for the troubles of these boys than the vile cigaret j habit. JKO pure-minded, honest, manly, brave, gentle boy will smoke cigarets. Ben B. Lindsey. Condemn! Eradicate! Exter minate! Bishop W. F. Mallalieu. These are three strong words, but none too strong when applied to the liquor traffic. The strangest thing in all the world is that Chris tendom does not rise en masse, and do all that the three words signify. The supreme enemy of the work ing man is the liquor traffic. It robs him of his hard-earned wages, and gives him nothing in return. When the leaders of the labor un ions open their eye to the facts in the case, they will find that the grasping avarice of the worst com binations is not to be compared with the injury'wrought upon labor by the malignant liquor traffic. It may well be conceded that the time is not far distant when organized labor will demaud the condemna tion, the eradication, the extermina tion of the liquor traffic; and may God speed the day. Again, tf .is abominable traffic is the enemy of the home. There is enough of wretchedness and sorrow incident to L worlel where none are exempt from hardship, suffering, pain and death, but the misery brought into millions of homes as the result of drink is the suprem est misery that crushes and breaks weary hearts and turns these homes into gloomy, grief-filled, hopeless caves of death. Then, again, the liquor traffic is the most persistent and deadly en emy of the church of the living God. It is the mission of the Church and of Christianity to alle viate human woes, to improve the condition of life, to elevate the hu man race, to enrich mankind, with all good,to open before the poorest, the weakest, the most forlorn and sinful, the doors of immortal hope. Who is there so utterly blind and insensible a? not to see and know that the liquor trailic increases and embitters Luman woes. Drink is the source c f the most aggravated woes that afflict humanity. If it were not for drink, half the woes of earth woulel be done away with. Surely, it is the grandest work of the church to lay hold of those who wander from the paths of righteous ness, and lead them back to virtue and peace. Or better than this, in the very beginning of responsible child- i hood, to hold them with the hand of love, and guide their feet in the way of holiness and save them from the folly of sin. But, alas, and alas, the saloon, the liquor trailic is the foe of all this! It is. the liquor traffic that ruins more precious lives, and turns more men and women away from the path of life unto the path of death, than any other ?genoy. Why not exterminate this outrageous business? Why not sweep it from the face of the earth? Why not rise in the name of our God and make an end to this som ce of destruction?-Pittsburg Christian Advocate. Storm insurance, tornado, dwell ings 20 cents per ?100. E. J. Norris, Agt.

As Mother Reached the Top Step. A woman with eight youngsters boarded a Putney 'bus, which was already comfortably filled. The conductor became a trifle impatient because it took the fami ly so long to get aboard and as the mother finally reached the top step the 'bus began to move, the con ductor asked with the suspicion of a smile: "Are these all your children, madam, or is it a picnic?" "They are all my children," re torted the woman with a grim smile; "but I can tell you it's no picnic." A Dreadful Sight. To II J Barnum, of Freeville, N. Y., was the fever sore that had plagued his life for years in spite of many remedies he tried. At last he used Bucklen's Arnica Salve and wrote: "lt has entirely healed with scarcely a scar left."

A nervous-looking man walked into a grocery with his baby on one arm and a kerosene can on the oth er, placed the can on the counter and said, "Sit there a moment, dear."

We carry a full line of reapers for the McCormick, Osborn, Cham pion and Deering mowers.-Stewart & Kernaghan. * JOB'S UNDERSTUDY Moffatt, armed with a mirror, stood by the bedroom window examining a red elevation which had appeared on bis neck, just below his right ear. Hs .was so engrossed that he did not hear the door open, and he Btarted as his wife, close to his el bow, exclaimed, "Franklin! An other?" He nodded gloomily, laying down the glass and picking up his brushes. "Well, I know exactly what to do this time." Her voice, though not .without sympathy, exhaled business like satisfaction. "I talked it over with Uncle Balley when he was here yesterday, and he said he knew all about Job's comforters-that's what he called them. He say? all you have to do ls to take a pound of shot and cook it in a quart of milk and drink the milk, and you'll never have another. He's tried it three times." "Not if I know myself, ni get good and worse before I take that dose. 1 think I'd better consult a doctor." "Oh, no! Try the simple home remedies first. Bring home*8ome shot this evening." Deaf to wifely exhortation, Moffatt persisted In his high-headed atti tude until he started off for his day's work. At about three o|clock, how ever, he appeared at home with a chastened look on his face and a pound of shot in his pocket "There's a new one starting on the other side of my neck," he confessed. 'Go ahead and boll up the shot if you want to, and then let's fix some bread and milk poultices. *I've heard of them all my life." When he had gulped down the shot flavored milk and was lying on the couch, decorated with poultices, a kind hearted neighbor ran la. "Oh, *I know all ab?.ut itt" she told him, after inquiring into his ali ment. "I had 43-one after the other! Nothing helped me-nothing." "Mattie," Moffatt demanded next morning, "do I look like your idea of Job?" "No, nor act like lt, either." But she was sorry as soon as she had said it "There's another of these things coming under my chin," be an nounced. "There'll be a whole moun tain range of tbam on my neck, from ear to ear. I can't go to the office." "Poor Franklin!" She soothed him with a subtle tinge of elation in her tone. "I've something new to try an ointment that Cousin Sally told me about I've had the druggist put lt up. It smells dreadfully, dear, but she says If you rub it In faithfully, always with an upward motion, ifs a certain cure. I'll rub some In before breakfast" "For pity's sake!" cried? Grandma Worthington, when she walked In. the morning after, and found Moffatt still staying at home with his tribula tions. "Don't fuss around with oint ments, children! No nae paying oat money to druggists for a thing: like this. Dont you know what to** do? Take the shells of three eggs and mash them to a powder, then Swal low one of them every morning for three days running. Outwardly scoffing, but secretly hoping. Moffatt began to eat egg shells. Three days passed, and the only result of the treatment was that a new and angry peak had added it self to the chain which threatened to encircle his neck. "Franklin," said his wife, then, al most timidly, "Mollie has been talk ing to me all day about something that hev?r falls, If a person only has the grit to try it She knows per sonally of twenty-nine cases that lt has cured, but I haven't said any thing because I was afraid you'd re fuse." "What Is lt?" growled Job's under study, peering grimly from above a widely bandaged neck. She hesitated. "Suppose you try It without*knowing what it is? It may go down easier." "Bring lt on!" was the desperate order. Hastening to the kitchen, Mrs. Moffatt produced the remedy, al ready prepared on the chance that he might be induced to try lt It con sisted of a piece of yello-r washing soap, melted and mixed with an onion which had previously been bolled to a pulp. "Mollie," said Mrs. Moffatt re proachfully, when her laundress came back to iron next day, "why didn't you tell'me that medicine was an emetic?" "Wha's that, Mis' Moffatt? You done tried it Emetic F Suddenly a look of mingled horror and glee over spread the black face. "Don' go fob to tell me be swalluhed it!" "Certainly! Aa much as you could get on a 25-cent piece. That's what you said." "Oh, massy!" Mollie sank into a chair and tried to look solemn. "Oh, masy! That was to ruf awn, don' you know? Laws! Whah'a Mistah Moffatt now?" Sh 3 peered about as if she ex pected to see him stretched' under the kitchen table. "He has gone to the doctor." Mrs. Moffitt's tone waa stern. Again that gleeful horror convulsed Mollie's face, which she covered with her apron. "Don't worry, honey; he?l get well," she declared, tumultuously, through folds of gingham. ' "Doctahs noh nuffln cayn't prevent lt Any body 'at can' eat that dose an* Ure froo lt-he'll get well!" For Rent: One large comforta ble room in my home on Main street. Apply to Mrs. A. A. Woodson.
