A. W. Atwood in the February American Magazine, “the young men who graduated from college ten or fifteen years ago and began work at fifteen dollars a week did not dabble in the speculative excesses that marked the opening of the century. But today these same men are the generation now in the business saddle. Above all, they do not know what it is ' to lose fortunes in the market, for there have ben no large stock markets for years. Ask any broker whether the old fellows, the ones who hung around in 1901, are back again." - - —— ■ ' o—— DR. BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK Acts as a Living Antiseptic In the Stomach and Intestines. San-Yak prevents self poisoning, that serious illness from which so many persons of sedentary habits and advanced age suffer. San-Yak prevents clogging of the colon and caecum; hence its great value in destroying germs from undigested animal food which are a factor in the true cause'of poisonous decompositions of the bowels, causing appendicitis, rheumatism, typhoid, dysentery and arterio sclerosis or hardened arteries. Heart trouble is developed through self poisoning from the kidneys and bowels. To maintain health all such poisoning must be checked, and you can do so with the use of SanYak. Take San-Yak; it is the greatest medicine yet known for man, woman or child. SI.OO per bottle. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, Decatur, Ind. DEMOCRAT WANT ADS 1 PAY BIG

BEECHER—FATHER AND SON Strong Bond of Affection and Sympathy That Existed Between the Two. How fitting where the energy and enthusiasm of unwearied youth invite from the ripened experience of maturer men the benediction of their influence! One of my friends was present many years ago in Plymouth cliuroh, Brooklyn, when this occurred It was in the days when Lyman Beecher had come to make his home with his Illustrious son, and every Sunday he was in the pastor’s pew enjoying tho services in that great sanctuary. One morning Henry Ward Beechor was unfolding some aspect of the new theology as he had come to hold it, when suddenly up stood Lyman Beecher, saying, “Henry, may 1 say a word just there?" Beecher paused in his sermon and with a look of filial affection at once responded, “Certainly* father, say on!” Then pyman Beecher turned to the congre gation and said: SHenry puts it this way. But it is not that way—it if this way"—and he proceeded to state ■ the truth as he saw it. Henry Ward Beecher stood listening to his father with an expression on his face which blessed the listening, wondering con gregation more than many a sermon And when Lyman Beecher had concluded, he paid a lovely tribute to his father’s Influence upon his own life and then resumed his sermon where he had been interrupted. — From Charles ft. Brown’s Bible Class in the Congregatidnalist. BEST SEEN FROM A DISTANCE Little Animal’s Fur Is Valuable, but His Acquaintance Is Not Thing to Be Desired. Considered from a safe distance, the subject of this sketch is a very interesting animal. The closer you get to him, the more interesting he becomes. Knowledge of his habits and appearance is more or less uncommon, for the reason, perhaps, that those persons best acquainted with him don’t like to talk about him. He’s very interesting, nevertheless. He is called the skunk. He’s strictly an American animal, although no national songs have been written about him. He isn’t a fighter, and yet he cotfld whip a Hon, if a lion ever attacked him. His weapon of defense is an offensive odor which a natural history writer of former days described “like a fox, but ten times stronger.” Usually he sleeps by day and prowls about by night. His fur is a blackish brown with yellow stripes down his back, and he has a bushy tail. The skunk’s fur is valuable, and recently “skunk farms” have been established to propagate them for commercial purposes. In spite of his powerful weapon of | defense, the skunk is clean in his[ habits, and his worst damage is to the farmer's poultry yard, which he visits to steal both eggs and chickens. Tho animal is about the size of a. cat. But woe unto him who mistakes him for a cat! With the Solid Clans. One essential fact about northern , Albanian clans is that they have remained exactly as they were when the Norman Crusaders landed on their j coasts from southern Italy and rode I along the ruinous Roman road that I still leads to Constantinople. Their snows and their poverty, their I strange tongue and their habits of rapine, have been the amber that has preserved the prehistoric fly. If a novelist or a historian wished to plunge himself into the atmosphere of the Dark Ages at some period after the barbarian invasion and bdfore the full recovery of the power of the church he could not do better than spend a year among the Mirdites or the Malessori. They profess jt)Xt such a nominal Catholicism as irigned in Europe before the superstitions of the primitive north had been partly dissolved in baptismal water. They hold their faith with the same partisan intensity which made Arians or Catholics of Goths and Vandals before they were Christians. The one social fact in their lives is the solidarity of the clan. Not Meant for the Public. Two Scotch sailors retiring from the sea purchased a small pub in a country town. The plac« was painted inside and out, being closed up for tho purpose. The villagers, after a few days, gathered outside the place, and one of them knocked at the door. A window above opened, and one of the former sailors inquired the Season for the gathering outside. “We want to know when you are going to open up,” wds the reply. “Open up?” retorted the man at tho window. “We bought this place for ourselves!” And the window closed with a bang.—London Tit-Bits. Royalty Fond of Strong Drink. /“Cobblers and tinkers are your true ale drinkers,” yet “Merry goe downe,” so called “for its slides downe merrily," has not lacked for royal patronage. Queen Elizabeth pronounced ale “an excellent wash" and "likes it so strong.” Lord Burleigh writes: “There 18 no man able to drink it.” And Catherine—the worst and the wisest — nad no small partiality for the brew of Burton, which even in her day was imported in great quantities into Russia
