For the Stomach Heart and Kidneys * Dr. Shoop’s Restorative Is a Causa Cure —not a Symptom Cure. It Is * common mistake to take artificial digeaters for stomach troubles—or (heart stimulant* for weak heart—or so-called kidney remedies for diseased kidneys. These organs do not act separ ately or of their own accord—they have no control over themselves—and not once in 800 time* is the sickness the fault of the organ. It is th* fault of the-nerves which control the organ—and only through these a nerves can stomach, kidney lor heart dis-«ft.orders be cured. Dr. Shoop, of Racine.^Bh.Wisconsin, learned early in his medical ex perienee that these inside nervesthe power nerves - t h athrough them oniv was it sibletocureindigestion. burn, belching. in.sonmia. bilck 11 vhe : heart weak- ftnesses and Bright's dis-'lhdaiMUMH’iW' ease and all of the kid-n<->s. For all oiWL’fUMW these ailments are not separatesicknesses and arene: I ; h-.i t 'I'!:, are merely symptoms of nerve weakness. and when are restored the symptoms and theNlßslckness disapi>ear. The remedy which Dr.vShoop prescribed for these ailing nerves is known ae Dr. Shoop s Restorative. It relieves the pain and distress of kidney, stomach and heart troubles quicker even than those medicines designed simply to give temporary relief. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative can now be had of druggists everywhere. For sal* and recommended by A. F. LONG.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Quoth the Haven. Many stories are told about the raven, a bird which really seems to have reasoning powers. .One story relates how a raven got a young hare for dinner. It pounced upon the little animal, but the mother hare drove it away. Then the raven slowly retreated, pretending to be afraid, until it decoyed the hare a considerable distance, whereupon it rose in the air, flew back swiftly and bore away the young hare. A similar plan was adopted by some ravens that wished to steal food from a dog. They teased him until he grew so angry that he chased them, and then the artful birds turned sharply around, easily reached the dish before him and carried bff the choicer bits in triumph. As to the raven's power of speech, the impression is that it can talk if it will, but it Is not loquacious and does not like to show off. like a parrot. But when it does speak it is very apt to use its words more appropriately than a parrot does. A Child'* Sermon. On one occasion Harry and Eddie, two little brothers, toqk it into their heads to have church. As Harry was the older of the two, he said, “I’ll be the preacher and preach you a sermon." “Well,” said- Eddie, “and I’ll be the people.” And so Harry began by announcing his text. “My brethren, my text today is ‘Be kind.’/-There are some little texts In the Bible for little children, and this is one of them. “Firstly.—Be kind to father. Don’t bother him when he’s busy. Don’t make a noise when his head aches. Father has to w<*k hard and earn money. “Secondly.—Be kind to mother. Don’t make her tell you several times to do the same thing. My brethren, we ought to mind right off. “Thirdly.—Be kind to Mary. She is small and lame and can’t talk plain. “Finally, my brethren, be kind to the cat. Amen!”—Brooklyn Eagle.

The Flying Thimble. Have a thimble which easily fits your forefinger. Show the thimble on the forefinger of your right hand and lay the finger with thimble on the palm of your left, which you theu clone. Now withdraw the finger minus the thimble. The company will naturally imagine that It is in the left baud, but on opening it they are astonished to see it empty. The secret Is that you do not place the thimble In the left hand at all, but In the act of laying the forefinger of the right hand on the left you quickly bend the finger aud leave the thimble secrete# lietween the ball of your thumb and the root of the forefinger, only placing the bare finger in the left This you Instantly close aud then withdraw the forefinger. You can eventually produce the thimble from your pocket or show It again on the tip of the forefinger by a reverse movement. ’ No National Holiday. We have no "national” holidays, not even the Fourth at July. Of course that holiday, like several others, is national In the sense that it 1b observed all over the country, but not in the sense that it has been made a holiday by an act of congress. Congress has no right to pass an act making a legal holiday In the states; that power is vested In the state legislatures. Congress may make a holiday In the District of Columbia and at all posts and in all buildings that belong to the government, but to make a holiday legal Ln any state there must be an act of the legislature to that effect. Even Thanksgiving day is not a national holiday; the president merely recommends that it be observed. There are a few states In which the day is not a legal holiday.—Chicago News. Not* It Down. We all have bright friends whose opinions are Valuable to us In regard to our reading. They seldom recommend books that are not well worth while, and yet at times we forget ths

book* recommended by ffieae helpful readers just when we might be able to find them. Thia item la a reminder to write down such recommendations‘<rf good books to read at the time when they are made. Keep a little list of books to read, and then when selecting for a vacation, a birthday gift or the holidays you will not be at a loss.—St. Nicholas. .< Game For Little People. A good game from the kindergarten leads to accuracy and discrimination In the use of the senses. Several objects are grouped on a table; a child Is blindfolded; one object is removed; the child tells which is gone. Coaundrama. Why did the scarlet runner run? Because the dog rose. When did the baker bake? When the loafer loafed. -Why did the coal scuttle? Because the tongs were snappy.

Marching; Son*. Bring the comb and play upon it. Marching here we come! WUlle cocks his highland bonnet; Johnnie beats the drum. Mary Jane commands the party, Peter leads the rear; Feet in time, alert and hearty. Each a grenadier! ; All In the most martial manner Marching double quick, While the napkin like a banner Waves upon a stick. Here’s enough of fame and pillage; Great commander Jane! Now that we’ve been raunil the vll- ■ lage, Let’s go home again. —Robert Louis Stevenson.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

will have opportunity, on Dec. 18 next, to take charge of the management of the two institutions. One of the most notable members of the committee is Cardinal Gibbons, primate of the Roman Catholic church in America. The fact that Cardinal Gibbons joined the committee is regarded in itself as the strongest i Feasible evidence of the importance he attaches to the matter at issue—the safety of the savings of the 1.10U.b00 policy holders. James Cardinal Gibbons was born in Baltimore iu 1834. He became bishop coadjutor of Baltimore in 1877 and succeeded to the see in the same year. He was nominated to be cardinal and Invested iu the princely insignia iu 1880 and since then has been the head of the Roman Catholic church in the United States.

Smart Shopirirl Rebaked. Because a woman wears a last season’s bonnet and a shirt waist suit of washable material It does not argue that she does not know good lace when she sees it. A shopgirl in a Washington store learned this lesson a few days ago when she tried to palm off some roughly finished brussels on .Mrs. John B. Henderson of Boundary Castle, lately known to fame for having inundated the gutters of the Capital City with costly wine.’ Mrs. Henderson Is plain in her raiment, and when she ordered brussels point the girl looked supercilious and got some <><ld pieces, which she said were marked down and might answer her purpose. “Have you nothing better?” asked Mrs. Henderson. "Oh, yes,” answered the girl, "but I thought this was about as fine as you could afford.” Then and there Mrs. Henderson gave the lecture on the impropriety of judging by appearances, and after buying yards of the finest lace in the store she asked the salesgirl to come to her home and see her collection of Inces.—New York Press. Standard Oil Rebatinic Suite. In the criminal suits to be brought by the government against the Standard OU company for engaging In rebating several of Uncle Sam’s ablest prosecutors will be called upon to show their skill.

HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, then the editor, then the liberal advertiser—which was all good. The next day ft snowed and He created the man who does not believe in advertising; another who does not take the home paper—and then He rested. And then the devil got into the moulding room and created the men who took a paper for several years and fails to pay for it. Alter he had completed that sorry job and having a few lumps left, he created the excuse of a man who settles his subscription by informing the postmaster to mark his paper refused. —Angola Herald.
