Vol. XXXVII.—No. 48.—Whole No. 1926 The Preacher and the Billionaire. “ I charge,” said a Boston preacher last Sunday, ‘‘that a billionaire disturbs the economic equality of the cit'zetis of our country.” Leaving out of acccunt the fact probably there la not a billionaire on this continent, one may ask whether a millionaire, and a hundred thousandaire and a ten-thousandaire and a walking del egate may not also “ disturb the economic equality” of our citizens. This Boston clergyman also said that while we believe “ that Tom, Dick and Harry, here in Am erica. are king*.” vet “ let Tom. Dick and Anderson, a prominent society woman of Jacksonville, Fla., daughter O of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. “ D e a r M r s . P i n k h a m : — There are but few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. “ I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma nent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up the entire system. Your medicine has been tried and found true, hence I fully endorse it.” — M r s . R A. A n d e r s o n , 225 Washington St., Jack sonville, Fla. Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says: “ D e a r M r s . P i n k h a m : — I feel it my duty to write and tell you the good I have received from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound. “ I have been a great sufferer with female trouble, trying different doctors and medicines with no benefit. Two years ago I went under an operation, and it left me in a very weak condition. I had stomach trouble, backache, headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find yours is the only medicine that reaches such troubles, and would cheerfully rec ommend Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable , y. , Compound to all suffering women.” When women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak ness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at once by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy and normal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass, as thousands do. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.

All my chillen has splendid names—the best 1 could find. An* I was thinkin’ if 1 had another baby what would I name it. If it’s a boy, I’ll name him Romney. I like Rom ney: it sounds tine. But If it’s a girl I hasn’t decided between Maud an’ Irene.” ‘‘Yes, your children have fine names, Mary Ann. Where did you find them?” “ Found ’em nil in novels, Miss Clare. When I was a girl dowu there on the •• WB HAD A REAL NICE CHRIS’MUS TREE.\ old plantation in Virginia, my missus— Miss Clayton—she had all the novels I guess that ever was printed, an* I read all of ’em that had purty paper covers printed in red an’ blue an’ yaller. Hasn’t you noticed that a novel ain’t real good unless it has a heap of color on the cover? Them plain covered novels deals too much with po’ folks. Laws, I don’t have no occasion to read about po* folks. I sees enough of them. What’s the name of this here English novel writer the white folks talk so much about?” “George Eliot?” I ventured. “No, not him. It’s somethin’ like Dickson or Dickerson.” “Dickens?” I said. “Yes, that’s the name. Now, I tried to read one of Mr. Dickens’ novels, an’ he started off with a po’ boy livin’ with a blacksmith. That was enough for me. I don’t want to read about paupers an’ blacksmiths. \Why I cun see a blacksmith right down the street here in this village, an’ the po’house back of Tarrytown is jes’ filled with paupers. “I wants to read about rich folks an’ lords an’ ladies an’ princes, livin’ in style; about how the Prince Mortimer rides up to the castle on his gayly com- parisoned horse an’ carries off the Lady Grenadine, an’ how the ole lord follers ’em with a hunderd men in armor, an’ how Prince Mortimer gets away an’ has the laugh on his father-in-law; about the grand balls an’ maskerades; about people who uses fine words an’ men that’s always bowin’ an’ scrapin’ befo’ the ladies an* fightin’ over ’em an’ worshipin’ ’em; about fine ladies in fine clothes, with nothin’ to bother ’em but a whole lot of men makin’ love to ’em. “Yes, 1 learned a heap from them novels. Prom ’em I named my oldest boy Uolaml, an* the next Rupert, an’ the last one Aubrey. An* then 1 named the girls Claudia an’ Lucille an’ Rosa lind an’ Geraldine. Them names do sound grand, don’t they? “To tell you the truth. Miss Clare, 1 do like things fine an’ grand. I ain’t got no patience with common things. If I was white an’ rich, I’d put on mo’ style than ’most any white woman in New York, I reckon. I wouldn’t be afraid to wear di’monds in the day time, an* lots of ’em, an’ feathers an’ luce an’ furs. An’ I’d carry my head high an’ throw out my chest an' try to look distinguished, I tell you.” And Mary Ann did draw her tall fig ure “to its full height,” us they say in the novels, ns she walked from the stove to the Ironing table with spar kling eyes and a distinguished air, laughing merrily and thereby showing a mouth full of fine teeth. I had known that Mary Ann, a mu latto with a nice figure and comely fea tures, was good looking, hut I had not realized her possibilities in the way of style before. “ My lovin’ grand things don’t coino so much from the novels I’ve read as from my ’mngination. I don’t suppose if I was white I could have mo’ ’mugl- nation than I lias. “You see, In any ’maglnatlon I can be jes’ as rich an’ tine an* white—why, I can be Jes* as white as white folks, Miss Clare, an’ pretty an’ young. “An’ then nil the good times I have In my 'mngination! 1 don’t have the trou ble that goes with really havin’ things. I build great, big, splendid houses, pal aces an’ castles, an’ then I jes’ let ’em go an’ don't bother about repairin’ ’em or payin' taxes. When I wants anoth er house, I jes’ build It out of my mind. We promptly obtain U. 8. and Foreign PATENTS Send model, sketch or plot© o l Invention fox patentability.

That's a good deal easier an’ cheaper than takin’ care of the old ones.” And Mary Ann laughed us she mois tened lier finger and tried the heat of the iron. “None of my horses ever 1 ms the colic or goes lame.” she continued, “an’ no body lias any finer ones. You jes’ ought to see me sailin’ in my ’maglnation through Fifth avenoo behind my pranc in’ steeds, while people stop to lock at me an' say, ‘I wonder who that gor geous an’ lovely creaehure is.’ “An’ then the trnvelin*! While I’m wnshin' an’ ironin' here in this ole laundry I jes’ soar off to Saratogy an’ Newport an* England an’ Paris an’ Asia an* Afriky. Well, no, I don’t go much to Afriky. It ain’t stylish enough for mo. But I go to the north pole hot days jes’ to cool off. I don’t find no difficulty in reaehiu’ the pole. I’ve climbed that pole many a time in my ’maglnation.” Ami Mary Ann again laughed merri ly over the pleasant pictures which she had drawn. “Did I ever tell you about the fun we had las* Chris’mus, Miss Clare? 1 didn’t? Well, I must tell you about that. “You see, we was kind of po* last Chvis’mus. Your folks lmd done gone to the city, an* I hadn’t no extra work, an* the chillen all needed winter clothes, an* we had only 45 cents left for Chris'mus, an* Peter he said that we couldn’t affo'd no Chris’mus tree, but I said; ‘Go ’way, Peter. I’m goin’ to have a Chvis’mus tree.’ So I went out in the village the night before Chris’mus an’ found a po’ little runty tree that nobody wouldn’t buy, an’ 1 got it for 3 cents, an’ I fixed it up with a lot of little baubles that your mom- mer had given me, an’ we had a real nice Chris'mus tree. “A h ’ then I said: ‘Now, chillen, we ain’t got very much for Chris’mus— that is, not much acchually— an’ so we must draw on our minds for wliat we need. Now, just foller my lead, an’ we’ll have the greatest Chris’mus that ever any family ever had with only 45 cents.’ “I’d bought some stick candy an’ a little cheap present for each one, an’ then I brought out a package of old letters my sister had writ to me from home in Virginia. “ ‘Now, chillen,’ I said, ‘I want you to understand that all through this Chris’mus I’m a queen, an’ poppy he’s a king, an* you’re all princes an* prin cesses, an’ that we’re to have every thing to eat an’ drink an’ wear an’ look at that the mind can think of.* “They all sent up a whoop an’ seem ed mightily tickled, an’ Roland, he says: ‘Mommer, you’re to be Queen Mary Ann, an’ poppy he’s to be King Peter—no,’ says he, ’poppy’s to be Pe ter the Great. I’ve just been reatUn’ about Peter the Great at school.’ “Then I takes up the bundle of let ters, an’ I says, ‘We must first read the congratulations of the season from our friends.’ The first letter I read was from Queen Victoria—that was before the queen died, you know—to Queen Mary Ann, callin’ me her dear cousin an’ honored friend an’ telliii’ me that she had sent me a diamond necklace worth $ 700,000 as a testimonial of her undyin* love an* affection. “An’ then the Prince of Wales wrote to King Peter the Great, sendin’ him valuable presents, includin’ some ele phants an’ tigers.

The Tribune reports an interesting case of grammar, that of a girl 14 years of age who recently made announcement by let ter cf her success in a model school. The Tribune says; “ In font studies she is marked 100, and in only one as low as 96. In grammar she hai attained perfection, being marked 100, while in civics she stands at 98, in physics at 97, in physio logy at 99, in algebra at 98 and in liter atus e at 96. In the same letter she tells of some recent incidents. ‘There has been two boats ashore. * * * Papa took sister and I with him so we could see the boats.’ ‘Grammar, 100 ’ So reads her school report, prepared by a teacher who doubtless takes great pride in so clev er a scholar.” The Tribune says “ fudge,” but there is need of more serious consideration. It is apparent that the girl learned grammar by rote and made faultless recitations without any idea of practical application to writing or speech. Again, there is not now in use an English grammar that gives any certain rule by which a pupil may de cide whether she is writing correctly or not. There has not been a grammar woithy the name since the excellent text books of Goold Brown disappeared. Brown might have been too elaborate in his great- work, bnt his definitions and rules have never been surpassed. But no grammar can be iof much use when it is merely learned by rote to be re peated in a parrot way. Too many pupils learn grammar as a task and get their forms of expression from their compan ions in the street or on the playground. So, incorrect English is the rule. The young girl at the model school is not an exception. She committed hergrammer to memory for marks while ehespoke and wrote in the jargon of her associates.— Rochester Democrat. daki no P owder STA K E S H O M E B A K I N G E A S Y , A N D H O M E B A K E D PO O D S U P E R I O R TO T H E B A K E R ’ S. “ Cakes, muffins, etc., in which Cleveland’s Baking Powder is used will keep better.” MARION h a r l a n d .

Down through the meadows we come to the playground of the poet Shelley, where the old mill still stands, its grinding stones propped against its sides, quietly registering the flight of time. Swans glide to and fro upon the pond or rest upon its edge. Black and white rabbits scurry across the wood ed paths. Fantailed pigeons disport upon the lawn. In the tall grass tiny fawns feign sleep, while furtively watching with half closed eye, and everywhere the mischievous emu stalks about in conscious pride of his importance in this strange land. Being a special aversion of the game- keeper’s, this bird takes apparent de light in annoying him in every way. Prying about until he finds a choice nest of pheasant’s eggs, he dispatches the dainty morsels instantly, thereby destroying the hopes of both keeper and hen. Every effort to break him of this pernicious habit has been unsuc cessful. Once the keeper resolved upon a plan which he thought would with out doubt prove effectual. Having hard boiled a number of eggs, I10 car ried them in steaming hot water to the field and placed them before the ever ready emu. Much to his surprise, the dished seemed to appeal strongly to the voracious appetite of the bird, for In a twinkling they were gone, a seem ing look of wonder accompanying his grateful appreciation of this unusual attention.—Century Magazine. P r o f a n i t y In E u r o p e . The most ordinary conversation in Spain is rarely carried on without oaths being interpolated, and invocations of saints and expressions which border on swearing are common even on the lips of ladies. Spanish workmen do not un derstand an order unless it is delivered to them with a strong garnishing of profanity; masters swear at their serv ants, ladies at their children, school masters at their scholars and officers at their men. It must be remembered that all over the continent profanity is more common than in England. In Germany even it is not uncommon to hear school masters swear at the boys, a state of things unheard of and impossible here, while both in France and Italy oaths are taken ns a matter of course and applied equally to man and beast. At the same time it should be remembered that most continental “cuss words” are not taken so seriously ns ours.— London Answers. A H u m o r i s t o n M a r r i a g e . Marriage, if not carried to excess, is a wise provision mul sacred obligation. Marry your opposite ns far as possible, especially as regards sex. You will nev er regret it. If possible, marry above your station. Both of you should do this; it is sure to advance your race. Do not marry n foreigner unless highly recommended by those in whom you have perfect confidence or unless you want to very much indeed. Do not en courage long engagements. It Is better to get weary of each other at your lei sure after marriage than to do it be forehand. Courtship, however, is a most delightful industry and should not be rashly broken in upon by marriage. Some people seem to be admirably fit ted for suitors, but fail in other occu pations. This is very fortunate indeed. No suitor can be sure of a permnnenl situation. The supply greatly exceeds the demand. W a i t e d T w e n t y Y e a r n F o p a S o l u t i o n .

Further, the Boston preacher says; “ The billionaire has the tight to deprive yon of going to work.” That seems rather obscure, but there is another party who assumes the right to deprive men of the privilege of working, and he is not a billionaire, though he would like to be one. That party was in evidence in the coal region last summer and fall. “ They take the billionaire,” says the preacher, “ and make a Sunday-school teacher of him.” Well, that is better than turning him into a sour, snarling, sensational and blatant pulpit damagogue .—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

An amusing story is told of Robert Buchanan, the author, who, like many another well known literary man, had a hard struggle at the beginning of his career. lie lmd just published one of his early novels when one day he found himself the possessor of a fine appetite, hut without any money in his pocket at the moment to get a meal. He thought of ways and means for some time and finally hit upon an idea. He went to the office of liis publish er and asked for three copies of his new novel, directing that the cost should be placed to his account. Armed with the fresh, nicely bound volumes, he immediate^' sought out the nearest secondhand bookseller and disposed of the copies for as much as they would bring. “I remember I enjoyed that dinner tremendously,” he said. “It proved to my entire satisfaction that even the humblest author could live by his books!” Ayres.

Taking all the different schools of med icine, including those called irregulars, the Christian Scientists, Magnetic Healers, Os teopaths have failed to give us any surety of perfect diagnosis and treatment of disease. They make lamentable failures as yet, showing their knowledge very imper fect and not to be relied upon. We still have heart disease, sugar diabetes, Bright's disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism, paralysis and all other various ills that seem to baffle the skill of the phys ician to rightly name the disease or perform a cure. First, we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are the result of long years of toil and research, and that deep down in human life the loftiest truths are born.
