A TEMPERANCE WORKER.
Says Pe-ru-na is a Valuable Nerve and
Blood Remedy.

7T1SS BESSIE FARliKLL, 1011 Third
■IV-*- Ave., Brooklyu, N. Y., is Presi
dent of the Young People’s Christian
Temperance Association. She writes:
“Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve
and blood remedy, calculated to build
up the broken-down health of worn-out
women. I have found by personal ex
perience that it acts as a wonderful re
storer of lost strength, assisting the
stomach to assimilate and digest the
food, and building up worn-out tissues.
In my work I have had oeeasion to
Teeommend it freely, especially to
women.
“I know of nothing which is better to
build up the strength of a young mother,
In fact all the ailments peculiar to
women, so I am pleased to give it my
hearty endorsement.”
Dr. Hartman has prescribed Peruna
for many thousand women, and he
never fails to receive a multitude of
letters like the altove, thanking him
for the wonderful benefits received.

BOOK OF REMEMBERANCE
•> Ti c “Book of Rememberanee'' ii
Heaven
Contains record of all that we do;
Be our deeds of good or of evil,
Whether they are many or few.
Which will outnumber the other.
On the pages so fair at the start?
Will thi‘ records of our good deeds In
canceled,
And the bad ones command greate
part?
Oh! ’tis very solemn to think of.
That as we jounev through life hen
1h‘1o\v,
Our doings are accounted Heaven.
In the “Book of Remembrance;'' ant
we know
That the angel recorder is truthful
As he writes of our motives and acts
That he will notswerve a hair's breadth
From the stern, remorst less,cold fact
Yes, that book will contain the wholt
story,
As told by that angel of God,
As he watches carefully o’er us.
While we travel where others have
trod;
i>e uiuipauiwa} e er strewn with sweet
flowers
That spring- from the God that we do,
X)r whether, in sin or in sorrow,
We mingle our tears with the dew.
Oh! which will you have it, my brothers.
Shall fair pages be devoted to you:
-Or the pages all blotted and blackened
With records of foul deeds that are
true?
Oh! which shall itl*for you, my sisters.
When life's stormy season is o'er?
Will you choose now to fill the pages
With records of deeds that are pure'
Think not that the angel will waver
In the duty God has set him to do:
No matter how dark be your record,
He will faithfully carry it through.
All through the' Hook of Remembrance
Taking step by step of earth's strife
Till you go to the courtoom of “ou
Father”
To be judged from the ‘‘record o
life!” W. B. Hutchinson.

BROWN SCRAPS
In by-gone days, when newspapers
were like angel visits, “few and far
between,” it was needful for candi
dates to get out and hunt lip the voters
and let them know who they were, and
the office they were seeking to obtain.
But in these days, when the printed
sheet visits alike the mansions of the
rich and the humble dwellings of the
poor, and spreads before one and all
the news of the country at largs. it is
only needful for said canidate to put
his mouth to this paper-phone and yell
“Hello” a few times and they will hear
him—or hear from him—or hear of
him from “Dan to Bersheabba.”
As the cause that made the custom
of house to house visits needful has
passed away, let the custom go with
it. Why go all over the country to
tell the people something they already
know? I see no need for it, unless a
candidate has a little private mud
slinging he wishes to engage in—some
thing bad to tell on his opponent that
he dare not put in cold print, or some
little self-praise he wishes to give out
secretly that his spirit of modesty or
regard for truth will not allow him to
give out publicly, knowing that “self
praise is half scandal.”
Iam free to admit that many good
men keep up this old custom, doubtless
thinking it needful to do so because
others do. But the question comes,
Is it needful? I, for one. think not.
But it may be argued that the people
expect it. Perhaps they do, but do
they desire it? 1 think not. Some
may think it needful in order for the
candidate
To shake them in
And snake them in
And “fake” them ip
And rake them in
And take them in
And so they use it in order to
Creep them in
And reap them in
And sweep them in
And heap them in
And keep them in

man. but I have lon>; since found out
that the man who is very intimate on
short acquantence is oftiines found to
lie very short on intimate acquantence.
And so to know a man you must look
beyond the root of his tongue to find
i him»out. Ask his friends about his
virtues and ask his enemies about his
faults, add them and divide by tw<
and you will get near his true status
Don't judge a man by what he tells
you he intends to do: judge him In
what he has already done for the say
■ ing is very true, “Its a hard thing to
do to learn an old dog new tricks.”
* If he sucked eLrgs on yesterday, he
| may suck them tomorrow, so if you
I put him with your hens, you'll do so
, t) your sorrow.
The time has been when the smooth
politician could start out with a few
[ gallons of whiskey, a lot of vulgar
yarns, accompanied with a big laugh
and hearty hand shake and rive votes
, like boards, but thank the Lord that
time has passed away.
It is a very little man that will sell
his vote for a hand shake or a yarn
or a dram of bust-head whiskey.
By selling votes
For such a bubble
Has been the cause
Of lots of trouble
For don’t you know
That it is so
If not 1 here will tell you
That he who’ll try
Your vote to buy
Will turn around andsellyou.

MAN’S LIFE OF WOE
A man’s life is full of crosses and
temptations. He come into the world
without his consent and goes out
against his will, and the trip between
the two is exceedingly roekey. The
rule of contraries is one of the im
portant features of his trip. When lie
is little the big girls kiss him, and
when he is big the little girls kiss him.
If lie raises a big famiiy he is a poor
man: if he raises a small check he is
a thief. If he is a poor man he is a
bad manager: if he is a rich man he is
dishonest. If he is in politics he is
for pie. and if he out of politics you
can’t place him and he aint no good
for anything or for the country. If he
don't give to charity he is stingy: and
if he does, its for show. If he dies
young there is a great future before
him: if he lives to be old he has missed
his calling.
Don’t quarrel with others about not
helping the farmers when you are not
trying to help yourself. Some farmers
do a lot of howling and no work, lie
cause they are too poor, they think, to
do anything else hut howl. The man
with manhood and plenty of grit and
energy in his makeup need never ask
others to give him roorrf. About all
this man needs is to put his natural
talent to work with a vim and the
world will give him plenty of room.
Why all this talk about organizing
the farmers of today, when our grand
daddies and great granddaddies lived
better than we do without any organi
zation among themselves? Because
our granddaddies produced almost
everything they needed to eat and wear
upon their own farms, with the excep
tion of a few necesaries of life, which,
for these small items, wasn’t hard to
get out of their surplus cotton and
other crops and stock. But now we
fool cotton-growers have for these
many years been trying t<S get rich
buying all these things at the other
fellows’ prices and paying for them
with our cotton, also at the other fel
lows price, so you can see plainly that
we are compelled to organize,
In conclusion 1 would like to ask
any intelligent thinking man why the
farmers haven’t a perfect right to or
ganize? Sam Cruris.
