HIS SPECIAL LIFE WORK IS TO GIVE AID TO CHILDREN - Distinction ol tbe Rev. Jacob Huntslnger.

Hagerstown, Ind., Oct. 26. If any other man has ever lived who has devoted his life to Just tho same purpose that Rev. Jacob Huntsinger has his name is not generally known. Rev. Huntsinger in all his travels has never met another whose soo business was to show friendliness to children. Nothing else has ever inspired this remarkable man and from early manhood he has consistently worked at his chosen calling. For he certainly claims to have an occupation at which he is always engaged and from which he has never asked to be released. His "Calling" Is visiting children and helping them in all ways. He is not a fclum worker but finds his field wherever he meets a child. He says he finds the children of the rich quite as much In need of his suggestions as those in the lower walks of life. The minister has no pulpit and yet he is welcome In any church to preach and expound his theories. He never received a salary from any constituted church or organized society, and yet he is never without money and tho means of subsistence. The story of his life is a cheerful one and one that inspires all who will consider it. Jacob Huntsinger is of small stature, but he possesses a personal quality which Is greater than physical force. He was born near this town eventy-one years ago. Before - he reached his majority he resolved to work with children. He required no special training and no college ever received him as a student. Love for his work supplied every rule and has kept him actively at work down to the present day. When he first startled out there was little to encourage him, for his advances were not so welcome where he was well known. But as he persevered and Bpread his field of action Into adjoining communities there went with him an influence that was quickly felt. He followed the scriptural admonition and went with' out scrip or purse and asked no wages of those whom he served. But he never has hungered and never went shelterless to bed. Throughout his life he believes he has been specially and providentially cared for and his demeanor is as one who is abundantly supplied with every requirement. It was his early rule to go afoot on his journeys of love. His reason for doing so is characteristic and reveals the devotion he has for his work. In walking about the pleasant roads and lanes of the country he frequently meet a child or a number of children with whom he talks and becomes acquainted. Many thousands of children have thus met this evangelist and received the simple instruction and inspiring talk which he always imparts. For more than fifty years this devoted man has walked about the country intent on his life work. Half a doz9n states know him as any community may know its oldest doctor. He is better known in indiana, possibly, than in any other state, but Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois have been visited by him In every section. No Fixed Rule. How does he work? He has no plan, no method, he works by no rule, neither can he explain how he will proceed to get into the confidence of the next child he meets. But he is a3 certain to gain that confidence as he is to meet the child. Every child possesses an individual characteristic, according to this philosopher of childhood, and

Contagious Blood Poison SAFELY and PERMANENTLY CURED This disease, which causes such terrible results, the virus of which is so powerful that if allowed to run will destroy the strongest constitution and transmit to its posterity for generations the seed3 of this loathsome disorder. Its fir3t stage usually is a small sore or ulcer, which sometimes spreads, or disappears, and if not checked at this time rapidly goes into the secondary stage, evidenced by falling hair, copper-colored spots, and ulcers on tongue and in throat. If permitted to run its course, decay of the bones and a complete wreck of the entire body marks the third and last stage of this devouring monster. S. V. C. will check the ravages of this disease at any stage by striking at the very root of the evil; driving to the surface, and passing off through natural courses, every vestige of the poison, and at the same time its fine tonic effect increases the appetite, strengthens and rebuilds the entire system, and gradually, but surely, every symptom of the disease disappears; every atom of the poison driven out, never to return, and thus a perfect cure is made.

S. V. C. is composed of the purest specific herbs and roots; contains no mineral or harmful substances, and may be taken by the most delicate and enfeebled. If you are suffering with Contagious Blood Poison, take S. V. C. without delay.

and without charge, aid with advice all who write. The cures which Dr. Simpson's Vegetable Compound has made of seemingly hopeless cases is truly wonderful and are attested by hundreds of signed testimonials.

needs to be encouraged and drawn out in some special manner. No two are ever exactly alike and for this reason he deprecates the present system of education, which herds children and requires them to master the same tasks throughout their school life. The influence of this man over children is marked always. He has no difficulty in getting them to leave off play and talk with him. He seems to anticipate what they desire for his questions seem to win answers that express full confidence. His pockets are never empty of presents suitable for children. Cards, pictures, toys, books and a hundred other small articles fairly leap from his pockets whenever he meets a group of children. He is never caught unprepared and were he to meet a hundred children he would probably find something for every one of them. Every Sunday school superintendent

is delighted when Jacob Huntsinger, the Children's Friend, comes to town. His coming is usually unheralded but his presence is never long unknown, for children everywhere carry the news and Sunday schools receive him gladly. Many years ago he was licensed to preach and not many Sundays have passed since then that he has not preached somewhere, but he does not claim the ministry as his profession, rather disclaiming it and proudly stating his business to be the "Children's Friend." Yet Active And Youthful. Ministers and public functionaries practically everywhere in the states named have expressed appreciation for his work. There are thousands of men and women whose hair is iiow grey and step growing feeble who daily remember with thankfulness the influence of "Little" Jacob Huntsinger. There are few houses in this section which do not contain treasured presents from this man bestowed in childhood. And these presents are now treasured keepsakes and valued for their association. Until within the last three years Jacob Huntsinger has kept his permanent residence at Hagerstown, but since then he has continued to return to Huntington, Ind., where he is comfortably located when not on the road at his work. Notwithstanding his as3. seventy-one, he is active and youthful in appearance. His small size suggests the thought that childhood has remained with this lover of children, and his quick, impulsive actions bear out the notion. Rev. Huntsinger estimates that in the fifty years and mnre that ho has followed his life work he has walked no less than fifty thousand miles, more than twice around the earth. In all those journeys his feet never carried him into an unwelcome place nor did he ever receive an unkind greeting. He hopes to continue his work yet many years. The Waning Honeymoon.

SUCCESSOR TO EVANS MATTER0F INTEREST He Will Go on the Retired List In 1908.

IS SPERRY OR HEMPHILL. Washington, D. C, Oct. 23. As t ) who will succeed Rear Admiral Evans in command of the battleship fleet when that officer leaves rctive service next August, there is a difference of opinion. The three officers upon whom the command might be expected to fall under ordinary circumstancesRear Admirals James H. Dayton, Chas. M. Thomas, and William H. Emorywill follow Rear Admiral Evans into retirement very soon. The two former go upon the retired list on October 1st and 25th. lfK8, respectively anl the latter on December 17th, ltxiS. For this reason neither may be chosen. The choice of Rear A.dmiral Evans's successor for the command seems to lie between Rear Admiral Charles f?. Sperry now at The Hague, and who. it is understood, will command one division of the Atlantic fleet in all probability, and Rear Admiral Joseph N. Hemphill. Rear Admiral Sperry retires in September, 1!x0, and Rear Admiral Hemphill in June, 1!M'). CEYLON TO INDIANA BY RAIL A NEW PROJECT Sanction of such a plan Is Being Sought. London, Oct. 2(i. Efforts are being made to secure the sanction of the project of connecting Ceylon to India by r. railroad across Adams Bridge and the shallow bodies of water lying between Rameswaram and Tallaimannar at the northern end of the island. The South Indian Railway company are bringingtheir line to the extreme point of the small island of Rameswaram, so that only a small gap of water will intervene between the termini of the Indiana and Ceylon railways. OUTPUT LARGELY REDUCED Copper Mines in Bolivia Follow American Plan. New York, Oct. 2C. Following the policy of the American copper companies, word comes that the Cerro de Pasoo copper mines, in Bolivia. Sou'.h America, have reduced output to 75 per cc-rt of the normal. The mines have been turning o"t at the rate of 24,tHJO.OO pounds a year. A large amount of the copper from these mines is shipped to the United States. L' runic on Smoking.

London Saturday Review. The last friend of Byron, the poet, has just died at Darlinghurst, New South Wales. She was Mrs. Cathreine Crummer, the widow of a Waterloo veteran, and was ninety-eight years of age. Mrs. Mary McClusky, a middle-aged woman, living in this city, was suffering from a welldeveloped case of contagious blood poison and was treated for the same by two or more regular physicians for more than a year. Ulceration ofthe face and arms bad taken place, her eyesight was nearly gone, she became entirely helpless, and ber physicians gaTe uptbecase. Being without means, she became a county charge and was removed to the poor house, 'where ahe was treated by the regular doctor of that institution from the la?t of July until April 16th, when be abandoned the case and pronounced it hopeless. At this time. when all the features bad assumed the most aggravated form, Dr. A.B. Simpson. of this city, took ber case, by permission and at the request of the Coun ty Commissioners. The wonderful result was that she returned to Richmond in forty days. so much restored as to be able to do ber work, en joying quite good general health. To nse her own language. I now enjoy good health, and my cure is all owing to Dr.Simpaon'a wonderful medicine." Tbe undersigned.

Fashion Notes...

Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion editor of the Woman's Home Companion, cables the following fashion note to the readers of the November issue: "Paquin's newest skirt is the greatest novelty I have sen In Paris. It is tight fitting and very narrow, showing the outline of the form below, the hips. This is in direct contrast to the plaited and gathered skirts which have been worn for several seasons. In effect the new Paquin model suggests the old-time serpentine skirt. "I find that quite the latest idea in street costumes is to have the skirt and coat of different materials. Sometimes one garment is ol a plain fabric and the other a self-tone stripe. In some of the most beautiful costumes which I have seen, the coats have been of luster cloth and the long trailing skirts of chiffon velvet. "The full-length sleeves in severe styles prevail in the tailored coats. The three-quarter sleeve is by far the most popular length at present for general wear. There are, however, some odd-looking, very long, mousquetaire sleeves which reach well over the hand. Indeed, some extend as far as the knuckles. They have only slight fulness on the shoulder and fit the arm closely. "At Callot Soeurs I saw some beautiful three-quarter sleves of velvet and silk lengthened to seven-eights by dainty, transparent under sleeves of lace and net. "Among the colors that are favored by the leading couturieres I find purple in every shade, serise and navy blue. Mustard is also a fashionable color, and a new green called 'petrol.' " The Winter's Muffs. Muffs are exceedingly graceful in design this year, and while flat effects are still seen, the round muff is gradually asserting Itself not the actual small, round, old-fashioned muff, of course, but rather a compromise between this model and the later flat style. One such muff is a partly rounded affair made of ermine, and trimmed with jnink, two entire bodies being used. These bodies start under the heads, curve upward and then take opposite directions, pointing downward, ending gracefully in tiny tails. Set the Right Value on Trifles. "I have two word3 of counsel and suggestion that I think worth your School of Mines at Columbia Has Opened Them. New York, Oct. 26 Announcements have just been made by the School of Mines at Columbia that courses in ar-j chitecture are open to women, especially to the graduate students. So !-een has been the interest on the chansre. that the department finds it self hampered for room to accommodate those women who are anxious to share the instruction. Courses in architecture have long been open to women at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but this is a fairly radical departure at the university on the Heights. CONGRESS CALL FOR 1908 International Geographical Body Will Meet Them. New York, Oct. 26. The ninth international Geographical congress has been called to meet in Geneva from July 27 to August C next year. In connection with this meeting there will be ten excursions under leadership of prominent scholars. The Geographical society of Geneva, which has just issued this preliminary announcement, will publish the final program in January, 1908. The number of participants in this scientific excursion, be limited. ADS ON POSTAGE STAMPS Norwegian Postal Authorities Have Plan Up. Christianit, Oct. 20 The Norwegian postal authorities have under consideration an application for permission to print advertisements on the back of postage stamps. It is proposed to devote the proceeds to the erection and maintenance of a sanatarium for consumptives. According to the authors of "Queer Things About Persia," cruelty is common there. The executioner cuts throats in public square, and the spectacle excites little interest. Criminals are sometimes crucified and sometimes walled up alive. Women, for certain offenses, are cast headlong from a tower. Ahe Persian is a gentleman of surpassing courtesy and politeness, but, say these writers: "The same man who drops rose petals under your feet in order to make them avoid the hardness of the road will not hesitate to make you suffer the most cruel tortures. He delights in the murmur of the rivulet in the moonshine, but the sound of blood flowing from an open wound has also for him its fascination. The singing of the nightingale fihs him with rapture in the night, but he quivers with pleasure at the cry of pain from a victim." Skating In the good old times was accomplished on the shin bones of animals, bound to the feet after the manner of tl steel appliances of today.

COURSES

FOR THE WOMEN

consideration," Fays Margaret E. Sangster. "The first is, be careful lest you underrate little things. In the scheme of life as it affects the well being of the homj nothing is trifling. The pretty stock that sets off the dainty toilet, the trim belt and the modish buckle, the becoming method of arranging the hair, the neat gloves and shoes that are eccessories of a girl's costume, are of more value in setting off her beautv than are ilch stuffs and gowns in the, height of the fashion. Following out this idea, the tact that sets people at ease, the unobtrusive helpfullness, the readiness to divert a fretful ehi!l or comfort a disappointed one. may appear trifling, but they reveal character and are indicative of sincerity and nobility in womanhood. Do not imderstimate little things anywhere. "The second word is. think twice before gaging anything merely by its financial return. Thousands of girls not in actual need are making the mistake of fancying that the earning of money 13 the most desirable thing the period has to offer. Relieve mt, it is often the least rewarding thing in which a girl car. engage. The daughter at home on whom is laid no obligation to earn her own bread should feel herself in no way inferior to her friend whose duty it is to tako her place among the paid laborers of the world." Dress to Suit Your Position. "Dress to suit your position," is a word of a'.v' Kiv-t. by Mr3. Anna Steese Richardson. "If you work in a dirty office, such as a printing concern, a who;efa!e grocery or a hardware shop, wear skirts that clear the ground by at least three inches; but if you are employed in the private office which has been well furnished and nicely carpeted, wear longer skirts, not trains, but cut to escape the ground. Your employer will want you, like the furniture and pictures, to dress his office harmoniously. Wear tailored shirt waists and black or Oxford gray tailored sk'rts. If you prefer black silk waists, never fall to soften these with fine linen or lawn collars and cuffs and white or black ties. Avoid garish colors. Be dignified in your dress az well as your manner. Do not consider that money spent on office clothes is waisted. It wi".l bring you better returns than money spent on party frocks or feather-trimmed hats."

MEMORIAL HALL Cornerstone Will Be Laid in November. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 2 Work has been started on Memorial hall, the cornerstone of which will be laid late in November. "When completed this building will daubtless be the most beautiful structure on the campus. In a large entrance hall are to be placed the memorial tablets, commemorating the patriotism of Michigan students who served in the various American wars. A Quaint Scotch Wedding Custom. A qtiaint wedding custom still prevails in many of the little country toAvns and mining villages in Scotland. When a wedding is held the contracting parties-fmake their guests pay In full for the eating, drinking and dancing facilities which are usually provided on such occasions. The practice still seems to survive even in Glasgow. A correspondent observed a notice posted up in the Cowcaddens, a low class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing the public that a soldier would shortly enter into the ionds of ' wedlock and that twopence would be charged for admission to the ceremony and an additional sixpence imposed for attendance at the wedding feast. The practice seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but sixpence certainly seems moderate enough for a marriage supper. Westminster Gazette. Tho Reader Who Skips. A good work of fiction, whether In prose or In verse we are here speaking only of good works is a work of art and can be rightly enjoyed only by entering into sympathy with the artist's mind and accepting his work according to his Intention. In a perfect poem the place of every word, In a perfect novel the place, if not of every word, of every episode and of every paragraph. Is important, and the reader who skips throws away the pleasure he has meant to derive from the harmony of composition. In which very possibly the beauty of the whole may chiefly consist, and despises the best part of the artist's labor. He might as well go to see a good play and then willfully miss every alternate scene. Exchange. Atmospheric Temperature. The temperature of the atmosphere cools on an average about 1 degree for every 300 feet that we ascend or warms at the same rate as we descend. The mean temperature at the north pole is 0 and at the equator between 80 and 00 degrees. We can. therefore, get into a temperature 1 degree colder for every seventy or eighty miles that we travel north and in a temperature 1 degree warmer for every seventy or eighty miles that we travel south. Hard Work For a Bald Head. I believe I have done about everything there is to do to make a living at one time or another," said the red cheeked man. who Is also bald. "You can't Imagine what I did once. Ran a parlor for restoring hair. Funny, wasn't It? I had to keep my hat on the whole time. Had to quit running It finally because keeping my hat on constantly night and day like that was making me balder than ever." Little Edna What is "leisure," mamma?

In order to make this commercial information bureau a complete success American manufacturers and exporters are urged to send to the American consulate, their catalogues and the following information, which will be carefully filed and indexed: Namo and address; code address and codes used; export discounts and terms of payment; references; nature of goods; list of branch es or agents in South Africa or London, and whether business can be done direct or only through agents; also catalogues, prices current, discount sheets, circulars, small photographs, etc. Why a Swelling Follows a Blow. The swelling which follows from a blow is nature's effort to protect the part from further injury and to keep it at rest while repair is going on. What actually takes place at the seat of Injury is not even now quite understood. The Injury to the smaller blood vessels interferes with the flow of blood through them, and the white corpuscles, with part of the serum, the watering part of the blood, escape Into the surrounding tissues. At the same time tho blood vessels In the neighborhood dilate, and the Increased flow of blood with the thoroughfare obstructed increases the swelling. It Is probable that the white corpuscles of the blood pass into the tissues to assist in the repair, as bees or ants assemble at an InJury to their storehouse, but with this difference that the substance of the corpuscles Is probably converted Into the tissue of repair. From one point of view tbe human body is only one gigantic colony of Individuals and tbe swelling that follows injury but the rush of these to repair the breach.
