The Absence of It.

If there is any troth in the saying that happiness Is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoyment of it can only be found In heaven. But far as the physical is concerned, it its within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is i made up of greater or less degrees of physical suffering. The minor achesand ' pains which afflict mankind are easy to ! teach and as easily. cured. There are . none fin the whole category, which, if ! taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the 'nerves, | the bones, the muscles and Joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacobs CHI is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to I cure promptly in a frue remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known happiness for years till they i used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don’t use it.

Refused to Wait.

He had just explained to her that he could not possibly defer the marriage for longer than three months, and that If she would not consent it were better to break off things at once than later. She had listened sadly, wondering. She did not see why he refused to wait longer for her—she had asked but a year—and then she consented to the limit. “Do you know, darling, what I would have done if you had not consented?” he asked. She looked quietly into his eyes. He could see she had been hurt. Her lips parted, but she not a word. “Why, I would have waited," he said. Then all was well.—New York Times.

A Distinguished Missionary.

Washington, Ind., Sept. 23.—There Is at present living at 106 E. 15th street in this city a most remarkable man. He is Rev. C., H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, Ind., a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the West. The great exposure and the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopeless. Dodd’s Kidney Pills were recommended, and as a last resort he .tried them. He was completely cured, and restored to good health and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the physicians.

PRESIDENT M’KINLEY’S LAST SPEECH

Address Delivered at the Pan-American Exposition on the Day Before He Was Assassinated. The Speech Will Live in History, as It Outlines a New National Policy with Respect to Foreign Relations.

President Milburn, Director General Buchanan, Commissioners, Ladies and Gentlemen—l am glad to be again in the city of Buffalo and exchange greetings with her people, to whose generous hospitality I am not a stranger and with whose good will I have been repeatedly and signally honored. To-day I have additional satisfaction in meeting and giving welcome to the foreign representatives assembled here, whose presence and participation in this exposition have contributed in so marked a degree to its interest and success. To the commissioners of the Dominion of-Canada and the British colonies, the French colonies and South America and the commissioners of Cuba and Porto Rico, who share with us in this undertaking, we give the hand of fellowship and felicitate with them upon the triumphs of art, science, education and manufacture which the old has bequeathed to the new century. Expositions are the timekeepers of progress. They record the world’s advancement. They stimulate the energy, enterprise and intellect of the people and quicken human genius. They go into the home. They broaden and brighten the daily life of the people. They open mighty storehouses of information to the student. Every exposition, great or small, has helped to some onward step. Comparison of ideas is always educational and aS such instructs the brain and hand of man. Friendly rivalry follows, which is the spur to industrial improvement, the inspiration to useful invention and to high endeavor in all departments of human activity. It exacts a study of the wants, comforts and even the whims of the people n-nd recognizes the efficacy of high quality and new prices to win their favor. The quest for trade is an incentive to men of business to devise, invent, improve and economize in cost of production. Business life, whether among ourselves or with other peoples, is ever a sharp strugglb for success. It will be none the less so in the future. W ithout competition we would be clinging to the clumsy and antiquated processes of farming and manufacture and the methods of business of long ago, and the twentieth would be no further advanced than' the eighteenth century. But though commercial competitors are commercial enemies, we must not be. Prosrrexs in the Fast. The Pan-American Exposition has done its work thoroughly, presenting in its exhibits evidences of the highest skill and Illustrating the" progress of the human family in the western hemisphere. This portion of the earth has no cause for humiliation for the part it has performed in the march of civilization. It has not accomplished everything; far from it. It has simply done its best, and without vanity or boastfulness and recognizing the manifest achievements of others it invites the friendly rivalry of all the powers in the peaceful pursuits of trade and commerce and will co-operate with all in advancing the highest and best interests of humanity. The wisdom and energy of all the nations, are none too great for the world’s work. The success of art, set., ence, industry and invention is an international asset and glory. After all, how near one to the other is every part of the world! Modern inventions have brought into close relation widely separated peoples and made them better acquainted. Geographic and political divisions will continue to exist, but distances have been effaced. Swift ships and fast trains are becoming cosmopolitan. They invade fields which a few years ago were impenetrable. The world’s products are exchanged as never before, and with increasing transportation facilities come increasing knowledge and larger trade. Prices are fixed with mathematic precision by supply and demand. The world’s selling prices are regulated by market and crop reports. We travel greater distances in a shorter space of time and with more ease than was ever dreamed of by the fathers. Isolation is no longer possible or desirable. The same important news is read, though in different languages, the same day in all Christendom. The telegraph keeps us advised of what is occurring everywhere, and the press loreshadows with more or less accuracy the plans and purposes of the nations. Market prices of products and of securities are hourly known in every commercial mart, and the investments of the people extend beyond their own national boundaries into the remotest parts of the earth. Vast transactions are conducted and international exchanges are made by the tick of the - cable. Every event of interest is immediately bulletined. The quick gathering and transmission of news, like rapid transit, are of recent origin and are only made possible by the genius of the inventor and the courage of the investor. It took a special messenger of the government, with every facility known at the time for rapid travel nineteen days to go from the city of Washington to New Orleans with a message to Gen. Jackson that the war with England had ceased and a treaty of peace had been signed. How different now! We reached Gen. Miles in Porto Rico by cable, and he was able through the military telegraph to stop his army on the firing line with the message that the United States and Spain had signed a protocol suspending hostilities. We knew almost instantly of the first shots fired at Santiago, and the subsequent surrender of the Spanish forces Was known at Washington within less than an hour of its consummation. The first ship of Cervera’s fleet had hardly emerged from that historic harbor when the fact was flashed to our capital, and the swift destruction that followed was announced immediately through the wonderful medium of telegraphy. So accus-

tomed are we to safe and easy communication with distant lands that its temporary Interruption even in ordinary times results in loss and inconvenence. . We sfcall never forget the days of anxious waiting and awful suspense when no information was permitted to be sent from Pekin and the diplomatic representatives of the nations in China, cut off from all communication inside the outside of the walled capital, were surrounded by an angry and misguided mob that threatened their lives, nor the joy that thrilled the world when a single message from the government of the United States brought through our minister the first news of the safety of the besieged diplomats. At the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury there was not a mile of steam railroad on the globe. Now there are enough miles to make its circuit many times. Then there was not a line of electric telegraph. Now we have a vast mileage traversing all lands and all seas. God and man have linked the nations together. No nation can longer be indifferent to any other, and as we are brought more and more in touch with each other the less occasion is there for misunderstandings and the stronger the disposition when we have differences to adjust them in the court of arbitration, which is the noblest forum for the settlement of international disputes. Unexampled Prosperity. My fellow citizens, trade statistics indicate that this country is in a state of unexampled prosperity. The figures are almost appalling. They show that we are utilizing our fields and forests and mines and that we are furnishing profitable employment to the millions of workingmen throughout the United States, bringing comfort and happiness to their

“Our real eminence rests In the victories of peace, not those of war.” “Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more.” “We must have more ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by Americans.” “We must build the Isthmian canal. ” “The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed.” “The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce Is the pressing problem.” “Our earnest prayer is that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to all our neighbors and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of earth.” —william McKinley.

homes and making it possible to lay by savings for old age and disability. That all the people are participating in this great prosperity is seen in every American community and shown by the enormous and unprecedented deposits in our savings banks. Our duty is the care and security of these deposits, and their safe investment demands the highest integrity and the best business capacity of those iu charge of these depositories of the people's earnings. We have a vast and intricate business, built up through years of toil and struggle, in which every part of the country has its stake, which will not permit of either neglect or of undue selfishness. No narrow, sordid policy will subserve It. The greatest skill and wisdom on the part ot the manufacturers and producers will be required to hold and increase it. Our industrial enterprises which have grown to such great proportions affect the homes and occupations of the people and the welfare of the country. Our capacity to produce has developed so enormously and our products have so multiplied that the problem of more markets requires our urgent and immediate attention. Only a broad and enlightened policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. In these times of marvelous business energy and gain we ought to be looking to the future, strengthenng the weak places in our industrial and commercial systems that we may be ready for any storm or strain. By sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home production we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. A system which provides a mutual exchange of commodities

is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing were possible, it would not be best for ns or for those with whom we deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor. Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of . our wonderful industrial development under the domestic policy noW firmly established. What we produce beyond our domestic consumption must have vent abroad. The excess must be relieved through a foreign outlet, and we should sell everywhere we can and buy wherever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the timesi measures of retaliation are not. If, perchance, some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue or to encourage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad? Then, too, we have inadequate steamship service. New lines of steamers have already been put in commission between the Pacific coast ports of the United States and those of the western coasts of Mexico and Central and South America. These should be followed up with direct steamship lines between the eastern coast of the United States and South American ports. Ono of the needs of the times is direct commercial lines from our vast fields of production to the fields of consumption that we have but barely touched. Next in advantage to having the thing to sell is to have the convenience to carry it to the buyer. We must encourage our merchant marine. We must have more ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by American's. These will not only be profitable ia a commercial sense; they will be messengers of peace and amity wherever they go. We must build the isthmian canal, which wit. unite the two oceans and give a straight line of water communication with the western coasts of Central and South America and Mexico. The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed. A Fraternity of Republic*. In the furtherance of these objects of national interest and concern you are performing an important part. This exposition would have touched the heart of

that American statesman whose mind was ever alert and thought ever constant for a larger commerce and a truer fraternity of the republics of the new world. His broad American spirit is felt and manifested here. He needs no identification to an assemblage of Americans anywhere, for the name of Blaine is inseparably associated with the Pan-Ameri-can movement, which finds his practical and substantial expression and which we all hope will be firmly advanced by the Pan-American congress that assemoles this autumn in the capital of Mexico. The good work will go on. It cannot be stopped. These buildings will disappear; this creation of art and beauty and industry will perish from sight, but their Influence will remain to Make it live beyond its too short living With praises and thanksgiving. Who can tell the new thoughts that have been awakened, the ambitions fired and the high achievements that will be wrought through this exposition? Gentlemen, let us ever remember that our Interest is Inr"concord, not conflict, and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war. We hope that all who are represented here may be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the world’s good and that out of this city may come not only greater commerce and trade for ns all. bqt, more essential than these, relations of mutual respect, confidence and friendship which will deepen and endure. Our earnest prayer ia that God will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to all our neighbors and like blessings to all the peoples and powers of earth.

Only a Memory.

It was at a friendly little dinner that one of the speakers asked what had become of the old-fashioned boy—the boy who looked like his father when his father carried the sort of pomposity which was like the divinity that hedged a king in the time when klnghood was in its break of day, the boy wlu> wore a hat which threatened to come down over his ears, the boy whose trousers were made over from his father’s by his mother or aunt or grandmother, the boy whose hair had a cowlick in it before and. was sheared off the same length behind, the boy who walked with both hands in the pockets of his trousers, the boy who wore boots run down at the heels, the boy who never wore knickerbockers or a roundabout coat, the boy whose chirography was shaped by the gymnastics of his tongue, the boy who believed his father was the greatest man In the world and that he could have been president If .he had wanted to be, the boy who was his mother’s man when the man was away from home? And all agreed that he had disappeared from the face of the land and was now only a memory.

An Incomplete House.

We run wild over the furnishings of a bouse; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and music, and always forget or neglect -the most important requisite. Something there should be always on the shelf to provide against sudden casualties or attacks of pain. Such come Mkea thief in the night; a sprain,strain, sudden backache, toothache or neuralgic attack. There Is nothing easier to get than a bottle of Bt. Jacobs Oil, and nothing surer to cure quickly any form of pain. The house Is incomplete without it. Complete it with a good supply.
