RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 1902

Hicks for September.

Warm weather generally will most likely prevail at the opening of the month, with falling barometer, growing humidity and other storm indications spreading eastward from west and southwest. On and touching the 2nd and 4th no one should be surprised by storms of rain, wind and thunder. The chances are that frosts will occur northward about the 4th to the 7th.

The elements will reaot into storm conditions of more or less energy, progressing from west to east about the 7th and 9th. The regular storm period central on the 13th will almost certainly bring on a state of stormy weather that will continue in a general way into the reactionary storm days centering about the 17th and 18ch. One of the danger periods for September, especially in localities exposed to equinoctial storms, will be about the 17th, 18th and 19th. Watch all indications at this time,, and do not be surprised by very cool nights and frost, as soon as the low barometric area and storms move out of the way.

The last regular storm period for September is central on the 24th extending over the 22nd to the 27th. Another series of very decided equinoctial storms is both possible and probable at this time. The month closes in a reactionary storm disturbance, excited by the passage of the Moon over the equator on the 30th. On that date and into October Ist, autumnal thunder storms will touch many localities.

CANCER CURED BY BLOOD BALM.

AH Skin and Blood Diseases Cured. Mrs. M. L. Adams, Fredonia, Ala., took Botanic Blood Balm which effectually cured au eating cancer of the nose and face. The sores healed op J perfectly. Many doctors had given up her case as hopeless. Hundreds of cases of cancer, eating sores, supperating swellings, etc., have been cured by Blood Balm. Among others, Mrs. B. M. Guerney, Warrior Stand, Ala. Her nose and lip were raw as beef, with offensive discharge from the eating sore. Doctors advised catting, bat it failed. Blood Balm healed the sores, and Mrs. Guerney is as well as ®ver. Botanic Blood Balm also cures eczema, itching humors, scabs and scales, bone pains, ulcers, offensive pimples, blood poison, carbuncles, scrofula, risings and bumps on the skin and all blood troubles. Druggists, fl per large bottle. Sample of Botanic Blood Balm free and prepaid by writing Blood Balm Co., Atlanta Ga. Describe trouble and special medical advice sent in sealed letter. It Is certainly worth while investigating such a remarkable remedy, as Blood Balm cures the most awfhl, worst and most deep-seated blood diseases. For sale and free sample in Rensselaer by A. F. Long.

Take Care of the Stomach. The man or woman whose digestion is perfect and whose stomach performs its every funotion is never sick. Kodol cleanses, purifies and sweetens the stomach and cures positively and permanently all stomaoh troubles, indigestion and dyspepsia. It is the wonderful reconstructive tonic that is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by conveying to their bodies all of the nourishment in the food they Rat. Rev. J. H. Holladay, of Holladay, Miss., writes: Kodol has cured me. I consider it the best remedy I ever used for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. I was given up by physicians. Kodol saved my life. Take it after meals. A. F. Long,

Our Man About Town,

The following was heard near the depot last Sunday. First sport—“ See, here, old man, that fish-basket is ten times too big. We’ll never catch it full in the world.” Second sport—- “ That’s to carry the bottles in. I’ve got the fish basket in my pocket.” *.*

“Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly. “I’ve found a nice secluded spot where no one ventures nigh. The way into my parlor is on a public street, but the threshold never more of late is pressed by human feet. A stock of goods is kept within the building where I dwell; the merchant sits behind his desk to keep them guarded well; I spin my web across the room and o’er the dusty wares; I rest in perfect safety undisturbed by anxious cares; for not a single customer comes in his store and buys—the reason Is he never thongbt it paid to advertise. V

The approach of the annual school opening reminds ns that even our edu cation has its side which is coated over with a superficial polish that is usually laid aside when the owners desire to enter into active life. You go into the school and are so well pleased with the correct intonation, the precision, the grammatical construction, the exactness of statement in the language used by the pupils in their recitations. You compliment the teachers and pat the pupils on the head and your opinion of the schools goes up to about 95 or 98 per cent. Then as you walk down street after school hours toward the post offloe you hear two young gentlemen who are prize pupils, conversing across the length of a block, loudly discussing the examinations through which they passed triumphantly: “Hello, ol* Swipes!” “Hey, Bill!” “Soy, whatcher gettin rithemtic ’n jogerfy ?”

“Nine’y-one an’ nine’y-flve—anni didn’ terspect togit morn forty at th’ closest. Soy, d’jew passin grammar?” “Betcher socks sidid; got nine’ythree, anni ony made two mistakes sin hist’ry anni got a hundred in readin' an* pronouncin’, all right t” “Sodi. Blobbs flunked tho’ ”. “Yass anni nodewoodtoo, furry alus looked in th’ book. Oommout taster supper navßome fun.” “Can’t cossi gotto goto meetin’ with mu’muther. See?” *** Faint heart never won fair lady; and being politic and strategic in love counts for more than protestations of affection, according to a tale that is told about a local gallant. The other eve he called upon the only girl and being desperate on account of her heartless coquetry he ohanged his tactics thnsly: “This makes the seventh time I’ve asked you to eat chop suey with me for life,” he said after popping the inquiry and receiving a soft but cool refusal. ’’lndeed,” replied she, carelessly, “I am no hand at statistics.” “Yes, it is seven times.” Figures are stupid.” “I think that quite often enough to propose to one girl.” “Do you?” She asked this with some show of interest. “Yes; I’ll never offer to make you a present of a marriage license again.” “Never?” “Nope. I’ll give some other girl a chanoe.” “Who?” “Do you think you have a right to ask?” “Well, perhaps not; but we have been good

friends.” “I don’t mind telling you.” "So you really have another girl In view?” “I really have, and I have made up my mind. As I said, seven times Is my limit. If the next one refhses me seven times I’ll pass on to another.” “Only seven times?” murmured she. “That’s all.” “And my successor is—?” “Widow .” The girl gave a little start, and said, “You won’t have to propose to her more than once.” He made no reply and there was an awkward pause whioh she broke, “I may as well offer you congratulations at onoe.” ‘Thanks.’’ He rose to go. “You are going to her—now?” “Without a moment’s delay. Good night.” “Good night—oh,—er—say—” “Well?” “I believe you said that seven times was quite enough to propose to one girl ?” But, now—er—lf the eighth proposal—were to have a—different—er—result would you still—would you—?” He didn’t go to the widow but in a second was as snag as a bug in a rug. V In Jasper oounty when women get tired of life and see old-maid-hood staring them in the face they do not take the veil but the “Popular Education” and “Teacher’s Methods.” As a result they become foster mammas of young Americans for a dollar or so a day, and teach their troublesome oharge to read, write, spell, honor mother, and defend his flag. For six to nine months they spend their best time and thought iu crowded, 111 ventilated school rooms and try to look pleasant through the provoking, worrisome hours of toil. Sometimes they get tired but never mention it. In the summers they rest and study and people say, “What a snap to be a teacher.” About now they go to institute and have their ideas polished up for a week or so. Sometimes they have beaux and flirt just to keep In practioe and revive their ancient girlish conquests. Teachers do not as a rule take the proper way to escape the convent oi the school room. They should get out on the streets at night, laugh loudly, and make goo-goo eyes and oyster lips at the young men—this is the accepted style of girls who marry early. In a few weeks these teachers will be at their annual Job of head polishing. God bless them and give them a good round year; and preserve for them the respect of their pupils.

W Discusses 1 Sundry / and ) Other Matters.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow Into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. We dislike a person who is too cheer* fhl just as much as one who is too grouchy. There is no use in being stingy and trying to keep it to yourself, for everybody finds it out. We wouldn’t like to be a doctor, because if a patient gets well folks say he would have got well anyway. All professions are overcrowded, but people think there is room at the top and that their children will be at the top. Preachers at a strange church al* ways give liberally when the contribution box is passed. That is to set a good example. We do not really care it folks do agree with us when there is nothing in it. No woman can cut the leaves of a magazine properly.

Every day we wonder If we have offended some one, and undoubtedly we have. Only a few people oan mow a lawn so It will look deoent. Lots of men like to brag that they know nothing except their own business, when the truth is they do not even know that yery well. Being “purse proud” is the worst disease we ever heard of. It is astonishing on what small provocation some people get the big head. Some people’s only recommendation is that they do as they agree to. But others haven’t even that. When girls get so thick that they dress alike we watch out for the fhr to begin to fly. Doing as he agrees to always brings a man a lot of oredlt. Honesty never gets out of repute. If a fight wins out, it is astonishing how many are willing to father it. An old man is fired up every time he hears a band, just like a war horse is at the sound of battle. You have no idea how many staid old men belonged to brass bands in their youthful days. How would you like to be a soloist in a good brass band?

Whatever you do, avoid going crazy on just one idea. We have never yet seen a great financier with his name parted in the middle. J. Pierpont Morgan may put this in his pipe and smoke it. No man ever starts in business with the good wishes of his rivals. You need not put on airs if you live in a country town, because everybody knows your income. We are told that if a man remaine all his life a common laborer it is because he was not good for anything else, but what would become of the country if everybody was too wise to work at common labor?

Beware of the Knife. No profession has anvanced more rapidly of late than surgery, but It should not be used except where absolutely necessary. In cases of piles for example, it is seldom needed. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures quickly and permanently. Unequalled for cuts, burns, bruises, wounds, skin diseases. Accept no counterfeits. “I was so troubled with bleeding piles that I lost much blood and strength,” says J. O. Phillips, Paris, 111. “DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cured me in a short time.” Soothes and heals. A. F. Long.

The Firnt Thing the Doctor Doeo Is to ask bow yonr bowels have been and then prescribe a laxative. He knows that most all diseases come from constipation, whioh dogs the liver and fills np the system with filth and poison. Take Bailey’s Laxative Tablets, core your constipation and your other troubles will vanish. 10c size-20 tablets- 25c size-80 tablets. Chocolate coated. Lakeside Med. Co. Chicago. Sold by A. F. Long.
