COUNTRY BORN AND CITY BRED

The Combination That M a !v e Successful tea. A great deal is said about many men who have come to piomincme being country I orn; that they first opened their eyes to the light of day in some country place; that their early tri ining was received on a farm; that to-day, in any of our large cities, the leaders in finance and trade are men who come from the farms; that our statesmen, those who have the most to do with stttling the affairs of nations and government? are of country birth, says the Pittsburg News. Muh so claimed is true. Yet the way the claims are rut forward it would give one the impression that to be born in the city was to commence life handicapped: that the boy would fail in his contest with Irs country brother. The fact is many leaders in all the departments of life never knew what it was to live outside of c-i t y walls. There is one phase of th s question rarely considered, and that is that to attain the prominent places they have filled these men needed the training of both town and city. Very few of those held up to our attention continued to dwell in the country. When maturer years came they sought other places of abode. Prominent men who have always lived in country places are few. Country born, they ne ded the polish of town and city to succeed. Their open air life laid the foundations of the physical health and enabled them to bear the burdens they eft er ward and to carry. A quiet life gave them tim? to consider the problems that afterward they helped to solve, but they needed the wider outlook, the help cf urban contact, to wipe out the defects and force the development that made them great. The iron ore is found in Ihn rugged mountain, but it needs the refining processes of mills and of many hands before it comes cut glittering steel. In the remote Klondike gold in found, but it must be taken to the smelting works and mints of civilization to be fashioned into the ware or made into the coin tha' men want. Rarely do men attain distinction without coming under the stimulating Influences of town and citv life. WHERE WILL IT END? SilcnX Struggle Over a Woru-Out Coin. A merry war of a unique sort is in progress between the cashier of a Wal- ' nut street cigar store and one of the ! store s customers, says the Kansas City ; Times. The cashier has a constituj tional objection to defaced or more than ordinarily worn silver coins. About two weeks ago the customer came in for a quarter's worth of cigars, in payment for which he laid down a 25-cent piece that required careful examination to discover its identity, so smooth had it become from much handling. The cashier could not well refuse the coin, for the man was too good a customer, and it did not seem best to make any kick about it. The very next day, however, an opportunity came to get even on the deal. The customer came in for some more cigars and this time presented a dollar bil! in payment. He got the worn quarter back in his change. He noticed it. but said nothing, and an hour or so later the cashier got the same worn piece back in exchange for some more cigars. He gritted his teeth, but took the coin. The next day mere was another interchange, and almost immediately afterward it was agpJn returned. The cashier has the quarter now. and it seems "s if the war will only be determined when the piece of silver becomes so worn that either of the contestants would have good reason to refuse it. Meanwhile, the war goes on. and each one of the several hundred customers of the place daily inquire, "Who has it?" SERMONS ON THE WALL. In a back street in St. Louis stands a little frame house of one story that attracts more attention from the pasfffas2 B THE GOSPEL HOUSE, er-bf than does the finest residence on the street. The magnet that draws all eyes IS an array of scriptural texts in large black letters, posted on the side of the building facing the street, so that ' he who runs may read." One reading: "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans iii., 23. This has the place of prominence, be ing nearest the roof. Close under it end plastered between the windows are several other striking quotations from the Bible. These texts are for the edification of the passer-by. For the caller at the house the scripture is set forth in pretty gilt-edged frames that hang in every possible corner of the walls, which give th1 p'.ace more the appearance of a Sunday school room than of a bedchamber.

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA. From the Republican. Soranton. Pa. The primary caue of dyspepsia is lack of vitality ;the sbesncs of nerve force ; the loss of the life-sustainingeleuientsof the blood. No organ can properly perform its function when the source of nutriment fails. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation cea-es. unnatural gaes are generated ; the entire System responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished bv the ease of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickorv St.. Scranton. Pa. In telling his story. Mr. Vandyke says : 'Five years ago "I was afflicted with a

trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I had "no appetite, conld not enjoy myself at any time, ami especially was the trouble pevere'when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what the ailment was, but it became steadily worse and 1 was in constant misery. "I called in mv family physician, and he diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. He prescribed for 'ne and I had the prescription filled. I In Misery. took nearly all of the medicine, but still the trouble became worse, and I felt that my condition was hopeless. I tried several remedies recommended by my friends but without benefit. After I had been suffering several months, Thomas Campbell, also a resident of tbit citv. urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. ''He finally persuaded me to buy a box and I began to use the pills according to directions. Before I haa taken the second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes. I considered myself restored to health. The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure dvspepsia by restoring to the blood the requisite constituents of life, by renewing the nerve force and enabling the stomach to promptly and properly assimilate the fooa. These pills are a specific for all diseases having their origination in impoverished blood or disordered nerves. Tney contain every element requisite to general nutrition, to restore strength to the weak, good health to the ailing. At the Play.

Deafness Cannot Fie Cured by local applications as thoy cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one

; way to cure deafness, and that is by eonstii tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an innameu condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When ihis tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or Imperfect bearIns;, and wh n It i entirely closed deafness is the result, ami unless the inflammation can be taken out ami this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine eases out of ten are caused bv catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

FIBE0ID TCM0R C0.VQCEKED. Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound Strong S'.ata ment from Mrs. B. A. Lombard.

.One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy. Fibroid Tumor. The irj-owth of these tumors is bo sly that, frequently their presence is not sus

pected until they are faff advanced. So-called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive menstruation accompanied by unusual pain extending from the ovaries down the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, don't wait for time to confirm your fears and go through the horrors of a hospital

operation; secure Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice free of all charge if you will write her about yourself. Your letter will be seen by women only, and you need have no hesitation about being perfectly frank. Read what Mrs. B. A. Lombard, Box 71, Westdale, Mass., says: 'I have reason to think that I would not be here now if it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound. It cured me of a fibroid tumor in my womb. Doctors could do nothing forme, and the' could not cure me at the hospital. I will tell you about it. I had been in my usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period came on I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but it did me no good. He said the flow must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of my trouble. Upon examination he found there was a fibroid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time a lady called cn me and recommended Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound; said she owed her life to it. I said I would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. 1 still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found everything all right. The tumor had passed away, and that dull ache was gone." "IRONING MADE EASY."
