Three Things to Ascertain.
There was a time when ministers
used commonly to consider the sub
jects for their sermons under three
heads. A famous user of redundant
pronouns, taking for text, “The devil

he is; secondly, why the devil he go
eth about; and, thirdly and lastly,
what the devil is he roaring at"
Coating for Gilt Frames.
For gilt frames which are not quite

ly wiped over occasionally with a
clean moist sponge, this being al
lowed to dry of itself.

THE SECRET OF YOUTH
De Soto looked for the secret ol
youth In a spring of gushing, life
giving waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. Al
chemists and sages (thousands of
them), have spent their lives in quest
for it, but it is only found by those
happy people who can digest and as
similate the right food which keeps
the physical body perfect that peace
and comfort are the sure results.
A remarkable man of 94 says: “For
many long years I suffered more or
less with chronic costiveness and
painful Indigestion. This condition
made life a great burden to me, as
you may well imagine.
“Two years ago I began to use
Grape Nuts as food, and am thankful
that I did. It has been a blessing to
me in every way. I first noticed that
it had restored my digestion. This
was a great gain but was nothing tc
compare in importance with the fact
that in a short time my bowels were
restored to free and normal action.
"The cure seemed to be complete;
for two years I have had none of the
old trouble. I use the Grape-Nuts
food every morning for breakfast and
frequently eat nothing else. The use
has made me comfortable and happy
and although I will be 94 years old
next fall, I have become strong and
supple again, erect in figure and can
walk with anybody and enjoy it.”

NewTFassenger Traffic Manager far
the Santa Fe Road.
1 ' - .. I I
William J. Black, who has just been
promoted by the Santa Fe railroad to
be passenger traffic manager of the
entire system, with headquarters in
Chicago, was born Oct 3, 1864, in
St. Louis, and has been in the rail
way service since 1879, beginning as
an office boy with the Vandalia at the
age of 15 years. He retained his first
position five years, when he became
rate clerk in the passenger depart
ment of the Missouri Pacific. In
March, 1886, he was given a similar
position by the Santa Fe. He was
promoted to chief clerk in the passen
ger department in April, 1887, and
to assistant general passenger agent
Jan. 1, 1892. He has been general
passenger agent, with headquarters
at Topeka, Kan., since Feb. 1, 1897.
A Sermon in it.
In the following paragraph, from a
story by Gouverneur Morris, in the
Reader magazine, there is a whole
sermon: “Edward,” said my grand
father, “never undertake to patronize
God. If you feel that you do not u *
derstand Him keep it to yourself. It is
enough to know that you were dust,
and He made a man of you; that you
grow wear at length and He gives
you sleep!”—Ttlantic Constitution.
MANY KNOW THIS—DO YOU?
The following very interesting conver
sation between Mr. White, banker, and
Mr. Walter Wellman, retired, two promi-,
nent citizens of the town, was recently
overheard:
**I never buy patent medicine,'* said
Mr. White. “When I feel the need of
medical assistance I cell our physician.
I don’t believe in taking a lot of stuff
that I know nothing about. I know, how
ever, that a great many do use it, and
apparently with good results, but I am
for getting a doctor every time.”
“Your circumstances render this possi
ble.” replied Mr. Wellman, “but the ma
jority of people must consider the ex
pense. My experience is that some pat
ent medicines frequently cure when the
doctor’s skill is baffled. Take, for in
stance an affliction; say like constipation
and stomach trouble. Did you ever hear
of your family physician curing a case
like that? If constipated, he gives you a
physic; but a physic cannot cure consti
pation. and he will tell you so. It is a
temporary relief and before long you need
more physic or pills. The doctor charges
you $2 every time you call on him and
you have to pay 50c or 75c to have his
prescription filled. Pretty soon you have
the ‘Pill’ or ‘Physic’ habit and your doc
tor has a steady customer. You cannot
read the doctor’s prescriptions. You know
no more about what he gives you than
you do about the ingredients of a patent
medicine. No reliable company will put
a lot of money into a patent medicine
unless they are convinced that it will do
all that is claimed for it. Usually it is
the prescription or some specialist who
has devoted his life to the study of a
certain disease and has mastered it.
I mention constipation and stomach
trouble because I suffered from that af
fliction for years. It is the beginning of
nearly all disease. Once it gets a grip
on you. it is serious, stubborn and hard
to overcome. 1 never knew a case that
was cured by an ordinary practicing phy
sician. but I do know of a number of
bad cases that were permanently cured
by medy called Mull’s Grape Tonic.
I I used it in my family with satis
factory results. It cured me. and I know
a great many more persons it has cured.
It costs 50 cents for a small or $1.00 for
a large bottle. I don’t know exactly all
that is in it. but I do know it cures con
stipation and stomach trouble and that is
more than my family doctor could do for
me.
I was first attracted to the remedy by
the company’s offer to give the first bot
tle free to any one who would write to
them giving their druggist’s name. I am
thankful for the benefit it has given and
advise every sufferer from constipation
to write to the Mull's Grape Tonic Co.. 148
4th Ave., Rock Island, 111., giving them
their druggist’s address, so that they can
procure a bottle free of expense.”

PREACHER A DIVER AND ROPE-WAliKER
One of the most extraordinary
preachers that ever came out of the
South is the Rev. "the Mountain
Evangelist,’’ says a Parkersburg. W.
Va., dispatch. At present Mr. James
Joseph Tecumseh Copen, known as
Copen, is exhorting in Wirt county,
and he selects for his meeting places
the most rugged part of vhe country
he can find. His pulpit is a derrick
perch’d upon a rock, as high as pos
sible above his audience—usually at
a height of about fifty feet—and from
Diving Point of Sermon.
(his elevated position he shouts his
sermons through an immense mega
phone, specially made for him, to the
listening crowds beneath.
As an additional attraction for peo
ple to gather at his revivals the
preacher makes high dives from a
springboard seventy or eighty feet
high, or walks a tight rope stretched
from his airy pulpit to a convenient
anchorage. Sometimes this rope is
run across a river, if there happens
to be one bandy; if not, a canyon an
swers the purpose just as well.
It must not be supposed that the
Rev. J. J. T. Copen is a “reformed”
acrobat or circus performer. He is a
mountaineer pure and simple, and in
his boyhood devoted himself to ath
letics, including high diving and tight
rope walking. The feats of his young
er days he repeats for a twofold pur
pose—to draw a crowd and- lo illus
trate his sermons in showing how the
sinner plunges into evil ways and
how “the wicked stand in slippery
places.”
The last place selected by this spec
tacular preacher for his combined
“show” and revival was the historic
“Devil’s Teatable,” near this city. His
audience gathered on the banks of
the. Little Kanawha river, across
which the preacher walked on a tight
rope and into which he plunged from
a springboard seventy feet above the
river surface. From the top of the
“teatable” he bellowed forth his ser
mon to the crowd below. So wide
spread was the interest in the pecu
liar religious service that special
trains were run to accommodate the
crowds.
When asked why he had chosen
such an elevated place from which to
speak, he said that the Bible suggest
ed it, and he was merely complying
with the teaching of the Scripture in
Rev. J. J. T. Copen, the Mountain
Evangelist.
doing everything he has done and in
tends to do.
J “The faithful who are delegated by
i the higher power to teach the Gospel
will be served as Elijah was served,”
said the hoary headed but vigorous
mountaineer. “When the time comes
for me to go I shall be removed from
earth in much the same way that
Elijah was taken. It may not be in
a chariot of fire, but the means of re
moval will be equally adequate.”
The Rev. Mr. Copen is the found
er of a new sect for which he has not
yet found a name, nor is his creed
* 11
Preaching Through Megaphone.
Quite clear. He says it is an improve
ment over the Baptist faith. As yet
he has but a few followers, but is
hopeful.
‘‘Many people say I am crazy,” said
he, ‘‘but I am not. It does not nec
essarily follow that because I believe
in a creed which differs somewhat
from all denominational creeds I have
ever heard of that I am of crippled
mind. I believe in the reincarnation
of souls. I have lived for thousands
and thousands of years, and so have
you and everybody else. When I get
to thinking I can see myself with Na
poleon, and while I cannot quite
make out my position at the time, I
was a high official in some court hun
dreds of years ago.”
DEMANDS MADE ON DIPLOMATS
American Representatives Asked to
Do Queer Things.
Andrew White, for so long our rep
resentative at St. Petersburg, tells in
his biography of the many strange re
quests made of him. Perhaps the
quaintest was a letter from a town
in the middle west which reached
him when he was at Berlin. The let
ter was accompanied by a package of
cheap cotton cloth in squares, and
made the modest request that he have
the emperor and Prince Bismarck di
vide them up and place on each their
signatures.
It was explained that there was a
church fair to be held in the town
and it was desired to place on sale a
number of patchwork quilts contain
ing the signatures of the rules of
Europe, as well as the leading Amer
icans. Packets, it was explained, had
been sent to the other embassies, and
it was expected that the quilts would
prove quite a profitable article of sale.
The incident is more than matched
by the experience of our minister to
France, who received a note remind
ing him that he was in Paris as the
representative of the American people.
As the writer felt that she had the
right to share his time with the rest
of her countrymen, she requested that
he try to match a sample of ribbon
which she could not duplicate at the
local store and which the shopkeeper
had declared to be of French manu
facture.
Hardships of Farming.
Little Dick has been thinking for
some time that he would like to be a
farmer when he grows up. The other
evening he toddled to his father's side
on the veranda and asked:
“What do I have to do in the even
ing when I bes a farmer?”
“Why,” said his father, “you have
to sit on the porch of your farmhouse,
like this, with your feet up on the
rail.”
Dick watched his father put his feet
up and tried to do the same with his
very short and fat little legs. The
rail was so high that he had to sit
nearly on the back of his head in or
der to get his feet up, and before
many moments he slipped down and
landed on the veranda floor with a
bump.
He got up and rubbed himself. Then
he said:
“Maybe I don’t want to be a farmer
after all. I might change my mind
and be something else.”

Cruel Jest on Proud Papa.
A young man employed in a Market
street office, who recently became pos
sessor of a fine baby, the first in his
family, has been made the victim of a
cruel jest, and it is causing a few
silver strands to appear in his raven
locks.
Upon learning of the happy event in
the young man's household a wag at
the office promptly inserted an ad in
the paper offering a fine, healthy baby
for adoption, and giving the office
’phone number for the convenience of
applicants. The number of ’phone
calls by parties seeking information
about the baby has been great, and
every time an inquirer calls up the
proud father is sent to answer.
It is in vain he protests that his
offspring is not to be given away. The
callers pester him with queries about
the baby’s sex, weight, color of hair
and eyes; whether it has dimples, and
sentimental females invariably ask if
it can say “goo, goo." One inquirer
offered to adopt the youngster for $100
to boot, and this was not the only mer
cenary proffer made.—Philadelphia

SAW BARGAIN IN NEW LIGHT
George Washington’s Judgment of It
Would Have Been Rapid.
I had talked with the farmer in the
seat with me for a quarter of an hour
about crops and the weather wben he
switched off the subject by saying:
“I think I made a rather good bar
gain uptown to-day.”
“In what?”
“My wife wanted a pair of shoes,
and I remembered seeing a lot of sec
ond-hand ones when I was in town
last. So I went up town and for a
dollar i got a pair just exactly as good
as if I had paid $2 for a pair at home.
It’s business to save a dollar when
ever you can, ain’t it?”
“Of course. Had you any other er
rand uptown?”
“Nope; I just went for the shoes."
“What's the fare up and back?”
“A dollar ten.”
“And you’ve lost about a day?”
“About a day.”
I said nothing further, and after
about ten minutes had passed, during
which time the farmer seemed to be
doing some thinking, he all at once
turned and said:
“Say them shoes cost me 10 cents
more than a new pair would right at
home!”
“Exactly.”
“And you had it figured out ten
minutes ago?”
“Yes.”

Make Housewives of Girls.
Farmers’ daughters are educated in

vegetables, and butter and cheese
making. The* results have been so sat

add instruction in nursing, cooking for
the sick, mending and sewing. The
teachers, who are graduates of the
schools of housework and have passed
government examinations, carry with
them an outfit of a cooking stove and
the various utensils for cooking and
ironing. The classes are held in the
