America Located -111 Yearn Aro.
America was discovered In 1492, 411
years ago. To her keeping tho Creator
has entrusted a groat continent. Her
children have come from all countries.
Our country embraces tho hopes, thn
ambitions, the drcamlngs of humanity.
To its daring In tho faco of progress,
to its Bufferings at tho shrlno of liberty,
there seems to bo no limit, and yet
prosperity, order, poaco spreads over
its vast area their sheltered wings.
Irrigation and Ponnlntloii.
Naturo seems to havo intended that
the densest agricultural population in
tho world should live In tho United

ters are available for Irrigating. Wo
may bo suro that whon tho time
comes for tho Amoricnn people to take
sdvnntago of these Immense natural
resources they will not bo slow to do
bo.

while the other went through the various

In the midst of the ceremony Mr. Bell's
nose began to Itch with that nmddcnjng
per&it-tcncy calculated to drive to insanity
or the grave if not relieved. Involuntarily
hifl right hand began to lower itself to the
beat of troubles.
"Hands up there!" called the man be

His hand shot buck into placo, hut in a

The following essay by a youthful
boarding school boy throws quite u new
ami interesting light on church digni

men bishuns rectors nnd curats. tne
bishups tell the rectors to work and tho
curats have to do it. Curat is a thin
married man but when he is a rector he
gets fuller and can precch longer sermons
and becums a good man, we should all
ways rispect a 'curat because sum day he
may bccuui a rector and we must nllways

Mocre, Notary Public, nnd have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con
lirming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr.

Dr. Limes is particularly emphatic in
his statement, nnd there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fnct that Dodd's Kidney Pills, nnd noth
ing else, saved the little boy.
lie was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. lie was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind wns bndly nf
fected. In their sworn statement, Mr. nnd Mrs.
MeBridc say:
"The very day we began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven of
these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than
n week he ceased having them enfrely."
The case has caused a great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state

Bure that I could not survive tho ordeal,
and so I told him that I would not un
dergo it. Tho following week I read,
an advertisement in the paper of your

iiroved after taking two bottles,, so I
cept taking it for ten weeks, and at tho
