SHORT TALKS BY
L. T. COOPER.
CHRONIC CRANKS.
MK. J. K. SMOCK.
We all have met people who are con
tinually kicking. Life seems a terrible
thing to them. They
seldom smile.
Something dreadful
is going to happen,
nothing is ever just
right, and they
worry and fret and
complain from
morning till night.
Their trouble
seems to he just a
had disposition hut
this is seldom so.
In most cases there
is one of two things
the matter with
them; cither their
nerves or their digestion is responsible.
Both come from the same thing—stomach
trouble. A man or woman whose nerves
are tied in knots is bound to be mighty
poor company. The same thing ia true if
what they eat don’t digest properly. No
wonder they grumble, I don't blame them.
I have seen Cooper’s New Discovery
change the whole disposition of people in
• month's time simply by getting their
stomach in shape again. Even the ex
pression on their faces was altogether
different. The worried, tired, fretful look
changed to a peaceful happy expression,
and the lines of care disappeared altogether.
Many people tell me about this in letters.
They seem to think it a miracle. Itis’at.
It’s just the stomach working again.
Here s a case of this kind:
“I suffered with my stomach for thirteen
years. Nothing I ate seemed to digest. I
also had chronic constipation, and was
tired, dull, irritable and despondent all
the time. I found it difficult to attend to
my duties as traction agent at this place.'’
“Six different doctors treated me and
all gave different opinions.”
“I began taking Cooper’s New Discov
ery, and to my surprise it helped me from
the first. I have gained ten pounds in
three weeks and am feeling fine. My
work now is a pleasure, where before it
was drudgery.” J. R. Smock, Cicero,
Indiana.

Los Angelos. Cal., June 30.—In this
•ernion, appropriate to the nation's
1)irthday. tin* preacher recalls the
events that have contributed to our
country’s great ness and traces the Di
vine hand guiding its destinies. The
text is Psalm Ixxvii, 11. “Surely I will
remember thy wonders of old.”
During the coming week we celebrate
our birth as a mition. Our topic this
morning, therefore, should be patriotic.
The text 1 have clKisen invites us to
reminiscence, and the reminiscence
need not bo limitod to our own lives.
Like our famous writer, Edward Ever
ett Hale, our thoughts may well in
elude “The Memories of a Hundred
Years.” That lionk deals, for the
most part, with the youthful history of
this nation. When 1 think of the Rev
olutioiiary war and the signing of the
] teolarat ion of Independence and the
forming of the constitution of the Unit
ed States and the political supremacy
of Washington's government. I always
think of our government as a new
born baby in its swaddling clothes.
Hut when I think of the government of
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe and
the great causes which led up to our
civil war I think of the boyhood and
young manhood of our country. It is
about this development of our govern
ment that I would like to speak today.
Such a theme should offer us a wide
scope for a national sermon.
As I read that interesting book the
fact which forced itself upon me was
that in the beginning of the last cen
tury the complete unification of the
United States government had not
been established. Ur. Hale well said:
“(tn the 1st of January. ISbl. the
United States was a belt on tin* Atlan
tic seaboard of thirteen poor and weak
communities, occupying territory which
hardly ran back more titan l."»0 miles
from the ocean. They bad united
themselves, hui they did not know that
they were a nation. Even the states
men of tliat day would have written.
*The United States an* ready’ or ‘are
prepared.’ while an oliicer of ours to
day would say. ‘The United States is
ready’ or ‘is prepared.'” In other
words, though the constitutional con
vention which formed the original
thirteen colonies into a federation had
assembled in IJs?. yet up to tin* latter
part of John Adams’ administration
the different states still thought the
central goven ment was of minor ini
portance and that tin* state legislatures
had more power than the national con
gress.
I kia*w tills fact was true of the be
ginning of George Washington's ad
ministration. but I did not think it was
so clear down through John Adams’
term. When the first president was
Inaugurated in New York city, it was
almost impossible for him to get strong
men to take positions under the United
States government. In the United
States government today tin* most im
portant position next to the presidency
Is that of chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States. Yet John
Jay. the first chief justice of the United
States supreme court, resigned his seat
In order to be a candidate for governor
of New York. In which contest he
failed. Washington had the hardest
work to obtain projier men for his cab
inet. John Marshall, who afterward
became tin* great chief Justice of the
United Staves supreme court, refused
the position of attorney general, pre
ferring to remain a memtier of the Vir
ginla state senate.
As an illustration of the low esti
mate placed on positions in the Unit
ed States government hi the !>eglnnina
of the lust century we find De Witt
Clinton, a United States senator from
New York in isul, resigning ids posl
tion in Hie United States senate in or
dor to become tin* mayor of New York
city, ('an you dream of anything that
would be more incomprehensible to
tin* statesmen of the pri**i*nt day? The
idea our early statesmen had of the
union of tin* states seems to have been
that of a bond but little closer than an
alliance such as might bind two friend
ly European countries. But as they
cann* to realize tlmt the union was one
! pie have now learned that the United
1 States is a nation.
Another fact which forcibly struck
me in Dr. Hale’s autobiography was
; the immense amount of unoccupied
land which the United States govern
ment possessed which had not then
beeu explored and which the leading
statesmen dtd not i*xpe<\ to utilize for
i a century at least to co ne. They took
possession of this Ian 1 not liecause
they wanted It, but because they were
afraid somebody else might want it.
and then there would be two nations
upon the American shores instead of
one. Not even the prime movers in
tiie I/ouisiana purchase had any true
conception of the great national bar
gain.
“So little did Livingston know what
he was d'ling." writes Dr. Hale, “that
in tin* letter in which hi* announced to
ITo-iideiit Jefferson Napoleon's amaz
ing offer and his own conclusion of the
great purchase tie says. ‘I have told
them that we should not send an emi
grant across the Mississippi in Kmi
years’” So little did the government
know of the region it had purchased
that President Jefferson, a short time
after T/iuistana had been ceded to our
government, had to send out the Clark
and Lewis expedition to find out what
kind nf a region it was and whether
tin* people could live there at all. And
one of the chief reasons, wrote Dr.
Halo, why the New England states op
posed the Louisiana purchase was lie-
cause their own population was so
meager and they were afraid Unit this
new region of the far west might draw
some of tlieir people away and leave
, Hie farms of tin* New England valleys
untilled. In other words, what T wish
to snow is that the great west, which
came Into our possession during the
earlier part of tin* last century, was not
only undesired land, but that God
forced it upon an unwilling people In
order to work out the destiny which
he had for it to do. The American
people as a nation have had greatness
thrust upon them. While God was
laying the foundation of this future
greatness in its great landed territo
ries the American people, from Presi
dent Jefferson down, were almost
unanimous in their vehement protest.
The Guidance of Providence.
If it wen* not for the fact that 1 be
lieve the Lord God of the hosts of
Moses and Joshua is guiding this ua
tio%, l would say Unit tiie acquisition
of our great territories was nothing
hut a long scries of haphazard luck.
The way we bec.-nne possessed of Lou
isiana w as as undcsianed and unsought
as is our present possession of the
Philippines. When the Spanish Anicr
ican war broke out. most people hud
never heard of Hie Philippine Islands.
Admiral Dewey, with his fleet, was
ordered from ('hinese harbors. Where
could he go except to Manila’.' Then,
after we took Manila, we were in the
[Misition of Abraham Lincoln's hunter
holding on to the tail of a running
bear. Ib* was afraid to bold on and
equally afraid to lot go. Most of us
today do not want the Philippines.
The American army otlieors and navy
officers do not want them. But how-
can we unload tin* burden? God has
thrust them on us. and for the present
we must keep them. So God in the
beginning of tin* last century thrust
the great Louisiana territory upon us.
! Our forefathers did not want the h.ud.
and yet they were afraid to refuse it.
Such was the condition of the Ameri
can people during the occupancy of the
White House by President Thomas
| Jefferson.
But with their wonderful background
of unlimited, unexplored laud, about
' which tin* people knew but little and
cared less. Dr. Hale introduces us
to two men who were so to aid in the
national development as to render this
great heritage of territory a national
necessity. These two American patri
ots were not warriors. Neither had
ever unsheathed a sword. They were
not wizards of the pen, like Washing
ton Irving "r like James Fouimore
Coojier. who did for the Indian wig
wam what the romantic Sir Walter
Scott did for the Scottish moors. They
were not silver tongued orators, like
Harrison Gray <>Hs or Pinckney or Wil
liam Wirt. They were simple meehan
les and inventors. They were humble
men, tmt they were social revolution
ists. The name of the one hero was
Robert 1’ultoii, that of the other Eli
Whitney. They each presented a price
less gift. Ou<* gave to America the
steamboat, tin* other tin* cotton gin.
With those two gifts these* two gen
iuses revolutionized tin* map of the
new world.
Before tlie>e two men came upon
the* seem* tie* history of the American
.
for mutual strength and protection tin
importance of the central federation people was mainly tin* history of many |

assumed greater proportions. And so
my brothers, as we thank God today i
that the United States government has
grown into a eolieMve unity we should
not lie bitter or harsh in our criticism
of those statesmen who in ISO! still
believed that the single commonwealth
was supreme. John Calhoun’s ad
rvocacy of state sovereignty was tho
natural sequence of the thought, which
was almost universally prevalent when
Thomas Jetl'erson beeiijne president,
that the United States was a confed
eracy of seventeen coumtonwealtbs
rather than a single government of
which Hu* different states were only
integral parts.
The State Sovereignty Idea.
So universal was the idea of state,
sovereignty in Washington's time that
when the first president made his fa
mous tom* of the New England states j
the governor of Massachusetts at first]
refused to tail upon George Washing J
ton when he came to Boston. He prae j

great extent, existed independently of i
every other locality. The men for the
most part dressed in homespun. The*
women darned their children’s stock
lugs, wove their own garments and
made their own rag carpets. No man i
could make money off tin* communities j
in other parts <>f the land, because the
cost of transportagon would eat up all
the profits. "The reader of today |
hardly remembers,” writes Dr. Hale,,
“that then* were times when the mar
ket cost of a bushel of corn was spent
when It had to Ik* carried forty miles.
As late as 1K3II I heard the jest which}
ridiculed an emigrant from Massa
chusetts by saying that be left his 1
home a year before to go west with u
Jug of molasses to use in trade and |
that he returned,at the end of the year;
of adventure, having made enough In
bargaining to pay him for the Jug.”
When fls* man of one state had to |
carry his goods to another state by ;
wagon and horse, the cost of transpor-;
tatlun obliterated all the profit, and;
thus communities in tike tieginning of |
the last century lived almost entirely
Independent of each otlter.
Fulton’s Invention.
But one day Robert Pulton lifted hi*
magic wand Then the “chu-chu-ebn”
of the steamboat was heard. Then the
Mississippi and tin* Ohio and the Hud
son and all the great rivers of our
country became blackened with smoke.
Then the emigrants of tl t* east went
west. Then the merchandise and the
foodstuffs were carried from one part
of the land to the other. Then Eli
Whitney lifted his magic wand, and
the southern planters carried their
great bales of cotton down to the
wharfs. There they were loaded upon
Robert Fulton's steamboats and car
rled to the New England factories.
Thus, as if by magic, the industries of
one part of our country damped hands
with those of other parts of our coun
try. and our great forests were cut
dowu, and villages and towns and
cities sprang up. Thus the two
mightiest nation builders of the lie-
ginning of the last century were not
two statesmen, but two inventors, who
made It possible for the Industries of
our country to be deveIo|H*d and our
lands to be covered with the tmsy hives
of human life.
Thus I want you In this great notion
al holiday to realize that the greatest
men of our nation are not the soldiers,
though who dare speak one word
against tin* men of the sword and of
the gun, who won us our national lib
erties and protected us when we were
in danger? They are not the states
men. although the pens of Livingston
and of Adams and of Jay have drawn
for us the map of this western repule
lic But they are the heroes of civil
life. They an* the farmers and the
manufacturers. They are the builders
of onr great railway systems, and the
educators In our schools of technology,
and the developers of the brain and the
moral stamina. They are the men.
like I’ulton and Whitney, who teach us
how to live and how to make the most
of onr life. And yet. strum** to say.
while Robert Uulton and Eli Whitney
in America were revolutionizing the
map of the new world James Monroe,
the American secretary of state, sneer-
itvgly said to the French minister:
“People in Europe suppose ns to be
merchants, occupied exclusively with
pepper ami ginger. They are much de
ceived, and 1 hope we slmll prove it.
The immense majority of our citizens
do not belong to this class, and we are
controlled as much as you Europeans
Ity principles of honor and dignity. I
never knew what trade was, and the
president is as much a stranger to it
as I.” Do you wonder that Edward
Everett Hale repudiated the slur upon
the indirect results of the life work of
Fulton and Whitney? And. my friends,
shall we who know how much honest
labor has Iwtd to do with making this
nation what it Is—are we today to de
spise Hu* calloused hand of the laborer
and the honest toiler in the nation’s
industries?
What Defeated Adams.
Another impressive truth emphasized
by our author which many of us pro
fess to know, but which most of us
need reminding <>f, is how little things
inevitably decide the policies of tiie
men who control the destinies of the
nation. As the failing of a stone may
change the course of a running brook,
insignificant tilings may change the
course of our lives, and they do con
tinually change them. Dr. Hale tells
us that one of the great causes of John
Quincy Adams’ defeat for the presi
dency was Hie fact that he had intro
duced a billiard table Into the White
House. Many things less than a bil
liard table have decided the careers of
the world’s greatest men.
Study the life of Abraham Lincoln.
H<Sw many little things decided that
career! Take him, for instance, when
he was a little boy of eleven years of
age, falling Into a deep jkioI In the
creek and nearly drowning and only
saved by the presence of mind of a
boyhood companion not as large as
himself, who extended a stick to him
and pulled him out when he was about
to go down for the last time, or take
that other most remarkable incident of
Lincoln's life, when, after his defeat
for re-election to congress in 184CL he
turned his face homeward without a
dollar in his pocket. Ills law practice
was gone. His political |)osltlon was
gone. Evertbing seemed to be against
him. At this critical moment Presb
dent Janes K. Polk offered him the
governsldp of the territory of Orogem
Supposing he had accepted that posi
tion, as he nearly did. what would
have happened to us as a nation?
When tin* ehil war broke out, would
Lincoln have been standing in Edward
Dickinson Baker’s shoes as tiie Unite 1
States senator from Oregon? Might
not William II. Seward or S. P. Chase
have been delivering the inaugural ad
dress as president of the United States
in VSbl? Had the great forensic foe of
Douglas been removed from the stra
tegic battleground of Illinois, what
would have been the outcome of our
civil strife? These are mighty ques
ttons, and yet these are nil dependen'
upon the “yes" or “no” which Abra
ham Lincoln gave to President James
K. Polk in IMP In reference to the
governorship of the far away Oregon
territory.
And then as l delve into the aut
biogr ijihv.-H r. collect ions of Dr. Hah
and into the life stories of other Amer
leans I earn >t but read strange sign*
of the times a> I loiter by the tomb
stone» of sum* of the nation’s many

ach. biliousness and kindred derange
ments of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Resides curing ail the above distressing
ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery”
is a specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether of the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy if its use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of tiie Nasal passages, it is well,
while taking the "Golden Medical Dis
covery” for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times a day with Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatmant generally cures the wor»t
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron
chial. throat and lung affections, except con
sumption in its advanced stagt;*, tiie “Golden
Medical Discovery” is a most efficient rem
edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on
coughs caused iiy Irritation and conge.stion of
the bronchial mucous membranes. Tbe* Dis
covery ” is not so good for acute cough* aris
ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex
pected to cure consumption in its advanced
■tages—no medicine will do that—but for ^11
the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, If neg
lected, or badly treated, lead tip to consump
tion. it Is the best medicine that can be taken.

Woman In the Pulpit.
“Christian England,” says Anna I’lot-
thow In a Berlin paper, “has follow’ed
the example of America and has estab
lished a woman as the minister of a
church. St. Paul’s admonition did not
stand in the way of the Unitarian peo
pie of Leicester when they chose tbe
Rev. Gertrude von Fetzold as a spirit
ual leader and teacher.” In describing
the woman preat’her the writer says:
“She is youug and slender, of aristo
cratic bearing, whose unusual loveli
ness immediately fascinates those who
meet her. Several years ago she of
ficiated at the funeral of her father.
Captain von Petzold, with the consent
of the Berlin church authorities, al
though the nobility pronounced tbe
proceeding highly improper. She has
many friends among the Berlin clergy,
who are all billing to allow her to
preach a sermon In any church, bat
her desire to be allowed to conduct a
regular church service has not been
gratified, and It Is doubtful whether the
consistory will ever consent, but her
work is breaking the way for women’s
work in the church in Germany.”
