Deserved success always com-
mands the respect and admiration
of the people. The man, tne ma-
chine, the medicine doing greater
and better things than others can
do, wins fame and popularity. A
thing which proves over and over
again its power to do that which
it promises to do is sure of the
abiding confidence of mankind.
An article which stands out in the
full light of great success, unap-
proached by all competition, is
permanently fixed in the minds of
men as honest and reliable.
Look at the magnificent success
of that sterling preparation,
Hood's Sarsaparilla. Think rf
the great number of rivals that
have appeared during the twenty
years that Hood's Sarsaparilla has
been before the public. Scores
of them had taken a name similar
in sound; others have been ad-
vertised by copying the headlines
and other distinctive features of
the advertising of Hood's Sarsa-
parilla. Some have come up as
new discoveries, perfectly sure to
cure every possible ailment, while
others have made the fact of their
great age the basis of their claim
for popular favor. In all this ^d
vertising, however, one point is
clearly seen. Whatever the prep-
aration may be, whether old or
new, it has been advertised re
cently as a medicine for the blood.
Not long ago the market was
flooded with "compounds," "ner-
vines" and "sleep producers,"
but since the great success of
Hood's Sarsapaiilla in curing
many forms of disease by making
pure blood, these same prepara-
tions have claimed to purify the
blood like the One 'irue Blood
Purifier, Hood's Sarsaparilla,
which is also the true nerve tonic,
because it feeds the weakened aud
exhausted nerves upon pure, rich,
nourishing blood.
And what is the logical conclu-
sion to be drawn from these well
known facts? Can it be said that
Hood's Sarsaparilla is only cneof
many similar preparations, adver-
tised merely to sell, without re-
gard to absolute merit as a medi-
dncf Just look at the facts. .
FiftA there is tfoe great Lab-ir*-.^
lory Hotjd's Sarsapitrilla, lo-
Lowell, Mass., and form-
ing one of the most extensive busi-
ness enterprises of the city. It is
a building which contains ever
three acres of floor space, and it
is the largest structure in the
world, devoted exclusively to the
business of a proprietary medi-
cine. What does this fact mean t
It means that the business of mak-
ing and selling Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla is of immense propoitions.
Next there are the cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla. These cures
have been spread before the world
year after year; they are known to
be true, genuine, unimpeachabie
facts. They are numbered by the
thousand. Every mail briilgs in
these wonderful reports of
cures bv Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla. Letters are also being
received from time to time,
from people who were cured
many years ago and now t hey
write to say the cure is permanent
that when once the offending
impurities which caused their suf-
fering have been driven from the
blood by Hood's Sarsaparilla,
there is no return of the disease
No other has such a record of
cures as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Third, look at the advertising
of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It does
not deceive the people. It tells
what Hood's Sarsaparilla has
done and what it will do. Hood's
Sarsaparilla has no mysterious,
instantaneous, miraculous effect,
ft is a scientific preparation, com
pounded by experienced pharma-
cists, for exae'ly the purpose for
which it is advertised, aud f
which it has proved wonder-
fully successful, namely, to puri-
fy, enrich and vitalize the blood
This, in short, is the true reason
for the great cures by Hood's
Sarsaparilla. The blood is the
life. Therefore, life, health and
happiness depend upon the con
dition of the blood.
had come to their rescue. That
dishonor is shared by Great Bri-
tain, Russia, Germany and Ans
tria, and is deeply disgraceful to
all four.
For there is no dipute that the
Cretans by an overwhelming ma-
jority desire to belong to Greece,
to which, indeed, they belong
natnrally by geographical position
as well as bv race and religion.
Why should Europe interfere to
prevent the Cretans from having
their own way in their own affairs!
What relation has this rising to
the general eastern question, in
which each power has its own
separate and selfish interest, and
in which the inaction of Europe in
the face of the atrocities of Turkey
results from the mutual jealousies
by which these interests are made
to neutralize each other aud give
aid and comfort to the great
assassin! But why should Crete
not be suffered to work out her
own destiny! 8he is not even au
ancient Turkish possession, for in
1830 the same powers which are
now interfering to keep the lslau 1
under Turkish role took it from
Turkey and gave it to Egypt, and
it remained for a decade under
Egyptian control. How can the
"balance of power" possibly be
affected through the aggrandize-
ment of little Greece by a popula-
tion of 300,000 which really be
longs to her?
It it is true that Turkey might
make war to regain Crete, if it
were taken from her by Greece
alone. Then would come the
danger of a general war, if it
came at all, and at that point the
powers might properly interfere
to prevent Turkey from invading
either Crete or Greece. What
possible claim has the Turk upou
the consideration of the powers
that they should not intervene to
prevent him from regaining a
possession which he had alienated
by his iuisgovernment? What
claim has he that should impel
them to interfere in his behalf and
to fasten his yoke upon a people
who, if they were left to them-
selves, would throw it off?
Iu fact, by this wanton inter-
ference to suppress a righteous
movement the governments of Eu-
rope have put themselves on their
defense before the peoples of Eu-
rope. It will be interesting
to see what sort of defense
they are able to make
lor themselves. It is indeed
given out that the powers "have
f.r 1 1 [mm- mi {iiu|mjlu»i iu
touomy to Crete." But why

The bhame of Europe.
The bombardment on Sunday of
the Greek forces at Canea to pre-
vent them from beating the
Turks was a disgrace to Europe.
It was an outrage upon civiliza-
tion perpretrated in the name of
civilization. The "concert of the
powers" which has shown itself
impotent to protect the Armenian
victims of the Turk from protect-
ing themselves by throwing off
his yoke. All the powers are di-
rectly implicated in this outrage,
excepting France, and France is
as tally committed to it as a mat-
ter of policy. It is no doubt
merely by
p1 iu n
Crete." But
should they stop there? Autono
my means self-rule, and the self-
rule the Cretans desire is anuc^
ation to Greece. Why should they
not be allowed to have their own
way? As we have said, noboay
can pretend that it is because
Greece, with Crete added, would
be so much more formidable than
Greece aloue as to menace the bal
ance of power and the peace of
Europe But if they have de-
termined to grant autonomy to
Crete, why should they not make
that announcement together with
the announcement that they will
not permit separate action on the
part of Greece? By doing so th
would avoid the belief that they
are now forcing upon Greeks and
Cretans that "Europe" is power
less to right wrongs, but it is the
irresistible and unscrupulous ally
of injustice and oppression.—New
York Times.

It is the fii8t time in our lives
that Brown and I have arrived at
an agreement to be cheerful al-
ways and everywhere.
We have been a great comfort
to each other since we came to
this agreement, and are growing
fat under the experiment. If we
go to a funeral we go a smiling,
we return in high glee and laugh
ourselves nearly to death when
our folks call us old fools for gig-
gling so much, but we know what
it costs to always be solemn, and
truthful and sincere, and we are
determined to keep right along
giggling and praising and sing-
r
j
'Just let the wide world wag as it
will/-
We'll be gay aud. happy still;
Gay and happy, .
Gay a Lid happy,
We'll be gay and happy still.'-
Experience has taught us that
they will call us fools no matter
iow we do, and besides, expe-
rience has taught that man cannot
judge as to what he grieve over or
augh at. I want to tell a little
story as illustrative of this, and
also impiess that kindness is most
sure to have its reward.
We took a spell of riding on the
electric cars, and away out on one
of the lines, where briars are thick
and the place lonely, our car sud-
denly came to a standstill, and we
all wondered why we should stay
at such a place. Before we had
time to wonder long we saw our
motorman scooting over a little
ways toward a poor old horse that
had been turned out to die. The
motorman had with him a bucket
of oats and bran, and he put it
at old horse's mouth *»nd ran back
to his duties.
"Thomas Hood," was the name
that the conductor gave >*hen
asked as to who the motorman
might be.
"Thomas Hood, Thomas Hood,
Thomas Hood," mused a digni-
fied old gentleman, whom we had
all recognized as a stranger in our
section.
We saw the old gentleman's eye
follow the motorman's return to
foragers dashed upon them and a
hard litt'e skirmish ensued.
The yankees were routed and
left their dead and wounded npon
the field. Among those was this
old gentleman of the street car,
and it came Thomis Hood's time
to show a kindo«ss I think
he did his part generously, judg-
ing from the feelings of the two
when they met after so many
years.
I have heard that the old gentle-
man is a very rich northern capi-
talist, and that Thomas will no
longer lead the life of a motorman.
Brown smiles an'1 I smile as we
contemplate the feelings of this
poor motorman at being raised
above want and above the hard
life of running a street car, and,
knowing that it was his little kind
act to the poor old horse that
made him known, we are trying
mighty hard to be kind to every-
body and everything.
And we laugh accordingly.

aud offered his hand, and I never
saw eyes look kindlier into eyes
when they saw that there was no
mistake and the recognition com-
plete.
I will have to take you away
back in the sixties to explain this
meeting. This motorman—Thorn
as Hood—was a very small boy in
the year 1864. He had seen his
little home down in Clayton coun-
ty stripped of everything by the
foragiug parties of the armies.
Every horse had been taken to
pull the army wagons; the cattle
had been driven away, the hogs
killed and even the chickens were
shot and cooked by either one side
or the other.
One little pet calf was all that
had been left upon a once pros-
perous place, and Thomas, in love
for this pet, had spent many a
sleepless night and many a rest-
less day. But for the boy the
calf would have long been gone,
and they spent the most of their
time together. Thomas always
kept a plowllne on the calf and
when he heard that soldiers were
in the settlement he was not long
in getting over the hills and into
th^ woods. His people were
trained—all people were trained
in those days—and when Thomas
would hear the cry: "Soldiers!
Soldiers!" he flew to his calf and
they ran over the hill together.
Many times Thomas and his
calf escaped in this way, but the
fatal time came. Once they were
not quick enough and the yankee
fo.ssgers saw them just before ar-
riving at the top of the hill, and
t 1 .it dread word:
"Halt! Halt! Halt!" sound-
ed oat load and fast.
Thomas heard the command but
he did not obey. He only rapped
the calf with the rope and pushed
the harder. Quicker than it has
taken to tell it a yankee soldier
had raised his gun, a quick flash
came and the calf lay dead upon
the ground with the boy standing
over him.
This settled everything with
Thomas; his pet had been slain
atd he made no further effort to
escape. He stood above the calf
with tears streaming when the
soldiers came up. The scene was
pathetic, it touched every sol-
dier's heart, but the old gentle-
man of the street car was the one
to offer consolation to the bo;.
"We will pay you in gold for
your calf," said this old gentle-
man as he rnn his hand down in
his pocket.
"I want none of your gold,"
said Thomas, looking up sadly.
"Bnt," continued the boy, "he
was my pet; I raised him myself,
and I do hope you won't ikin him
and take him away.
"Rot for the world," mid the
man of the street car, "and not
for the world," echoed his com-
panions.
