JAMIE WASTED NO TIME.
Youthful Philocopher Had Carefully
Thought Out Situation.
It was Jamie’s bath night. He had
several each week and he hated them
all. On this particular night, once
started, he soaked and splashed in the
tub for a full half hour, then his
mother haled him forth. He came out
of the room in his pajamas with his
face all streaked and dirty as it was
when he went in.
"Mercy!" cried his mother. "I
thought you took a bath."
“So I did!" answered Jamie scorn-
fully. "A bully one!"
"But your face is black!" said his
mother.
“Oh!” Jamie smiled understand-
ingly. "My face is all right. I have
to wash that in the morning, bath or
no bath. You don’t s’pose I’m going
to waste time bathing my face! I
always begin just below my ears and
work down on my arms and legs; but
I always leave my face and hands
those ends I‘tend to in the morning!"

Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
—Boy Tortured by Poison Oak—■
Both Cured by Cuticura.
“Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent phy-
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al-
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physician’s prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cu-
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
“In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty-
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies; and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

THE BREAKING PLOW.
I am the plow that turns the sod
That has lain for a thousand years;
Where the prairie’s wind-tossed flow-
ers nod
And the wolf her wild cub rears.
I come, and in my wakes, like rain.
Is scattered with golden seed; -
I change the leagues of lonely plain
To fruitful gardens and fields of grain
For men and their hungry breed.
I greet the earth in its rosy morn,
I am first to stir the soil,
I bring the glory of wheat and corn
For the crowning of those who toil;
I am civilization’s seal and sign.
Yea, I am the mighty pen
That writes the sod with a pledge di-
vine,
A promise to pay with bread and
wine
For the sweat of honest men.
I am the end of things that were.
And the birth of things to be.
My coming makes the earth to stir
With a new and strange decree;
After it slumbers, deep and long,
I waken the drowsy sod.
And sow my furrow with lifts of song
To gladden the hearts of the mighty
throng.
Slow feeling the way to God.
A" thousand summers the prairie rose
Has gladdened the hermit bee,
A thousand winters the drifting snows
Have whitened the grassy sea.
Before me curls the wavering smoke
of the Indian’s smoldering fire.
Behind me rise—was it God who
spoke?.

cation of the following little story,
whose source we are unable to trace.
At any rate it is a warm little clipping
and we recommend it to every man,
woman and child that ever had or
expects to have a home:
A young fellow who had got into
the habit of spending all his evenings
away from home was brought to his
senses in the following way:
One afternoon his father came to
him and asked him if he had an en-
gagement for the evening. The young
man had not.
"Well, I’d like to have you go some-
where with me."
The young man himself tells what
happened.
"All right," I said, "Where shall
I meet you?"
"He suggested the Columbia Hotel
at half-past seven; and I was there.
When he appeared, he said he want-
ed me to call with him on a lady.
‘One I knew quite well when I was
a young man," he explained.
"We went out and started straight
for home.
" ‘She is staying at our house,’ he
said.
"I thought it strange that he should
have made the appointment for the
Columbia under the circumstances,
but I said nothing.
"Well, we went in, and I was intro-
duced with all due formality to my
mother and sister.
"The situation struck me as funny,
and I started to laugh, but the laugh

to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on a rapid increase.

. the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay lowers their moral stan-
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to se. ve as their
legitimate prey.
MOTHERHOOD
The first requisite of a good
mother is good health, and the ex-
perience of maternity should not be
approached without careful physical
preparation, as a woman who is in
good physical condition transmits to
her children the blessings of a good
constitution.
Not Entire.
The aeronaut, after painfully ex-
tricating himself from the wrecked
balloon, limped to the nearest farm-
house.
"Madam," he said to the woman
who answered his knock, "can you ac-
commodate with a night’s lodging a
balloonist who has come to grief ?"
“I’d be glad to," she hesitated, "but
you are an entire stranger to—"
"Not an entire one," he interrupted,
with some acerbity. "For I have left
my left ear, three teeth, and certain
portions of my nose back there with
the ruined car."
For Twenty Years.
Other chill remedies have sprung up,
flourished for a brief season, then
passed away—even from memory-
but for twenty years Cheatham’s Chill
Tonic has been in the field of action.
The reason is simple. It has the merit
It actually cures chills and fever, while
the majority of others merely promise

any one case.

smiled. My mother and sister shook
hands with me, and my mother said
she remembered me as a boy, but
hadn’t seen much of me lately. Then
she invited me to be seated.
"It wasn’t a bit funny then, al-

It is well to remember that the
Union does not propose to take the
duties and cares of life off the shoul-
ders of anybody. No, not at all. It
does propose to see to it that for
these cares and responsibilities and
for the labor of his hand- and brain
that the farmers of this country gets
full pay—an honest dollar for
the stuff that he has to sell, and a
dollars worth of value for the dollar
he spends, and all the imps of dark-
ness can not stop it on this mission.
Of course in a free country like this
a man has some right to pick out the
sort of a fool he wants to be, but it

Physicians Recommend Castoria
ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
U ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria, is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi-
lates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor 01.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey 8.
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say: Our duty, how-
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. 10
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled 50.

Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent."
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the felds but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher’s." .
Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: ‘As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Case
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas-
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse-
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: ‘Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi-
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex-
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints. Any physi-
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom-
mendation of Castoria."
