A Conductor on the Illinois Central Railroad Had to Give Up His Po* sition—It is a Sad Story We
Publish That Crawfordsville People May Profit by Mr. Beebe's Experience.
This is the btory of an ux-conductor, Mr. W. R. Ueobe, age '57 years, who has now a prosperous grocery business iu Centraiia, iii. Here is what he ^ays: 1 was for twenty years conductor on the Illinois Centrul railroad. The movement and jolting of the cars injured my back and kidneys. Five years ago I was compelled to give up a a good position as conductor on account of my condition. My kidneys were so bud I would have to get. up as often as a dozen times in one night to urinate, and it was attended sometimes with pain the discharge was always excessive. I had a severe pain in my head and at times it would ache so bad I could not rest, but would walk the floor and hold, sometimes hot and sometimes cold applications to it. My back was so lame that in arising from a chair I would have to have help and then could only get up a part of the way at a time It would often take from three to ten minutes to straighten up and then always very painful. My feet and hands were always very cold winter and summer they would feel warm sometimes to others, but to me they were always cold- My feet and ankles would often swell: sometimes so bad I could not wear my shoes. My eyesight was very poor and I had to have three pairs of glasses for different distances and purposes DuriDg all these years I was doctoring with this doctor and then another, but was getting worse instead of better. I also took several kinds of patent medicine, but nothing did me any good. I read about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and got a box of them and took one after each meal for a few days and then took two after each meal. I began gradually to get better: I do not have to get up now the pain in my back is abont all gone and my feet have quit swelling and my eyesight is better. They are curing me as fast as I could exoect them to and I am satisfied that I will be well in a week or so. I have only been taking them about three weeks."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are vellow tablets (not pills) and cure kidney ailments and nervousness, etc. They are for sale by all first-class druggists and at Geo. Steele's drug store at 50 cents a box. John Morrow & Co Chemists, Springfield, Ohio.

PRIEST TO JOIN K. OF P.
First Catholic Clergyman to Kntor a Secret Society.
A Chicago despatch says: "For the first time in the history of American secret societies a fully ordained priest of the Roman Catholic church is about to be initiated a member of one of these orders. He is the Rev. F. J. Walsh, one of the assistants connected with St. Viucent de Paul's church, at Webster and Sheffield avenues, of which the Rev. F. J. Weldon is th
pftfitor"The fi^.-.Father VValsh's name was presented on!night for election as a metfibar Ot Priuce Edward lodge No. 42, Knights Pythias, and was favorably passed on.
Father Walsh will not becciffle a member, however, until certain formalities and obstacles have been passed, although it is understood these are Blight. It is not believed Archbishop Feehan will object to his subordinate's entry into Pythian ranks Two or three weeks or even more are expected to elapse before the initiation is completed. "This action on the part of Father Walsh is understood not to have been taken without much consideration of the subject. In fact, it is said the papal decree of 1895 forbidding Roman Catholics from joining certain secret societies has been raised and that positive news of this will bo announced shortly after Archbishop Ireland's visit to Rome. Father Walsh and Archbishop Ireland are personal friends., and it is reported in Pythian circles that Archbishop Ireland has knowledge of Father Walsh's action. The Pythian ranks, as well BS those of other secret societies, include many representatives of the Roman Catholic laity who think the time has come for the cburcli in America to give full cognizance of their right to become identified with these organizitions."

NI:W YEAR "AND THE IV ILL
[Copyrighted. 1899.]
This is the time for good resolutions. It is much the custom to sneer at these and to manifest somewhat of contempt for them, which, indeed, is not without cause, seeing how often our resolves are broken and how well paved with them is the road to perdition. But, for all that, the will plays a high part in the drama of our days. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished by a resolve. The will is an imperial fragment of God. It is the sole miracleworker left to us in these times of prose and figures. It alone can do what can not be done, and has a kind of reactionary power to raise a man above the limit of what he has always considered hi£ ability.
To be effective a resolution must contain something to be done at once. A resolve that is to begin running at some future date is worthless. All difficult tasks would become easy if we would simply do thc-m now and not attempt to do them tomorrow. The way to quit drinking is to quit. It is a needless burden to the soul, and one almost beyond strength, for the drunkard to resist tomorrow's cups, but it is not so hard simply to decline today's. The secret, therefore, of success in resolves, is to avoid thinking of the future. For it is the imagination of struggles to come that enervates us. The will of man is omnipotent, but only so in the present tense when we endeavor to include weeks or months in our determination, then the prospect overwhelms 14s and fails back upon and wrecks the present. 7. '-j-v''-'.' -v
Whatever one ought to do one can do. It is a subtle but strong proof of the divine goodness of things, to perceive that the right is never impossible. Sometimes we say: "I know I should do so, but I cannot but that is never true we are deceived, deceived by ourselves, and self-deception is the most blinding deceptio.. of all. Ability is not the measure cf duty, but duty is the measure of ability. When a thing is right and our co. .science lays it upon us to do it, then if we set about it, naturally and as a matter of course, we gain the strength to perform as we perform. Nature wastes no strength she does not give us thews for tomorrow's burden because we do not need them until tomorrow.
Our Savior illustrated the law of human ability in the fashion of His miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes. He did not break them and heap them up into a great pile and say: "See! I have provided you bread and fish enough fur all these months." This might have been a way to feed the many as lully as the way He took but it would have been barren of the most delicate lesson which the incident bears for the thoughful mind, a lesson beautifully brought out in one of Bushnea's writings. On the contrary, He commanded: "Give ye them to tat laying this injunction upon His helpers when they manifestly were unable to obey. It was an order to do an impossibility. And the power to do His command came upon them only as they began to do it. As they set about feeding the people with their meager supply they found their ability to give, to come to them only as they did give.
This is the law of all human accomplishment, that we become able to do only as we do. We learn to swim only fc_y swimming. The student of music takes pp some difficult piece trying it for the first few times, he finds it full of technical difliculties apparently insurmountable day after day he labors .upon it, seeming to make no progress arid then some morning, again attempting its rehearsal, he is surprised to find that the skill to render it with precision and feeling has, in some strange way, descended upon his shoulders as a mantle he does not know how he learned, but as lie persistently tried, behold! the power crept up upon him from behind. So we have the proverb that "Practice makes perfect," which, being analyzed, means that in attempting bravely the impossible we gain the ability to do it.
It is this peculiar faculty of expansive strength, of limitless accomplishment, that designates man as the son of God, differing from all other creatures. There is a bound'fixed for all other animals which they never can pass, no, nor their progeny after them, even as the sands stay the sea. The beavers build the same kind of dams now that they built in the rivers of Eden the swallows have never to this day improved upon the pattern of the nests they made under the eaves of Noah's ark and the bees construct their cells and combs of honey now precisely from the same design upon the trestle board which they used in Hymettus all he work of these instructive creatures is perfect, but not progressive. The son of the man, however, begins where his father left oft', proceeding thus by generations ever onward. Mankind goes ever forward, needing no less than eternity in which to reach any perfect work. All other animals go round and round, as a wheel, each generation covering the same ground. They are animate machinery men are animate spirits.
No one should be dismayed of any resolution because it seems hard. If it is but right, it is possible. For it is the glory of man that he alone can do the impossible. Only doers of impossibilities are great. There are many who can do the possible, hew the wood, draw the water, keep the books, run the errand3, answer the door bell, copy the letters, and all such liuman-me-chanical duties. But the grand prizes are for him who does what cannot be done. We say of such a one: "He has the touch of genius." The ancients held him to be a kind of divinity, and were not far from the truth. We become akin to God when we rise beyond our strength.

All the miracles of Holy writ have been matched by the steady progress of those divine animals to whom the Christ said: "And greater works than these of Mine shall ye do." All the airy potencies of the genii in the Thousand and One Nights of Scheherazade r.re no stranger than the daily feats of commerce and manufacture in these days when we have ceased wonder.

And what is true in the province of physical and mental performance is none the less true in the realm of the real and spiritual life of men. The will can do all things. 'Tis an Alexander or a Charlemange. Let it but quiets assume its thrnnp n.ml

and all the meaner faculties may grumble but they dare not disobey. If one has a bad habit that enslaves him, he has only to quit and he quits let him not think of the morrow, nor the stretch of weary days beyond, but only now NOT do it. Now is the only enemy he is compelled to fight. He must dodge and evade, with Fabian skill, the struggles of the next clay for as soon as next day becomes this day it is easily conquered.
The will is even grander than we commonly suppose. It is the father also of passion and all feeling. Passion is like water and follows the line of least resistance. The will can draw a course for it and train it to run as it chooses even as children with a siick lead a little rivulet from a pool as they desire. Daily thus marking the way for passion to flow, the will provides it so that when the torrents ef feeling are unloosed they, too, rush as a mighty river along the indicated b.-d, and do not overflow and devastate. All passion is true, helpful, enriching, when the will has labored faithfully at its dykes and embankments. Without the supremacy of will, passion is not passion—it is simple beastliness. Many people call themselves passionate when they are simply filthy. A man without a will cannot contain a grand passion.
Feeling need not be cold because it feels the hand of the will always upon the reins. On the contrary, we admire fine horses when they are driven by a skillful and firm master, ewn more than when they are running away and ruining themselves and their driver. So the sweetness and fullness of life depend as much upon self-mastery as upon inward enthusiasm. Regularly attending church and saying our prayers, even when we have no feeling, is digging deep trenches in which floods of feeling will flow, "when the times of refreshing shall come." To be loyal in thought, word and deed, by sheer power of will, is to build great reservoirs wherein love shall be held when the windows of heaven shall be opened.
There is no sense so sweet as mastery. Love is sweet, and worth all the tribute poets and novelists have paid to it but loyal love has a divine sweetness, while love unmastered is at best but a refined animality. To indulge an appetite for alcohol, or for gambling, is sweet but to feel the force of this desire and to know that we are even greater than it. tivs is far sweeter. The will is the king. His subjects, in obedience to him, have a wider liberty than any painted savages that roam in the wild forests of the soul.
