SENTENCE SERMONS. 1 9 holy tone does not make the heavenly tone. Straining after applause is pool training for it. A nation dies as soon as it ceases to get new ideals. Cowardice often walks under the name of conscience. There is no salvation so long as there is self-satisfaction. No man can escape the collection by calculating how much the other man is putting in.—Chicago Tribune West African Betrothals. In some parts of West Africa the girls have long engagements. On the day of their birth they are betrothed to a baby boy a trifle older than them selves, and at the age of 20 they are married. The girls know of no other way of getting a husband, and so they are quite happy and satisfied. As wives they are patterns of obedience, and the marriages usually turn out successes. To Avoid Wet Feet. When taking long tramps with my husband I often suffered from wet feet* until I discovered the folo!wring articles of wearing apparel: “I bought oil silk and of this made leggings, which I wore inside of my shoes. The wrater could then splash oyer my rub bers with no ill effects. The leggings do not impede walking, nor do they injure the feet as do rubber boots.— Good Housekeeping. Socialism in German City. There is carried on by the German municipality of Freiburg a pawnshop, an insurance business, a theater, sev eral restaurants and a newspaper, as W’ell as the schools. A seat can be procured at the opera in that city for nine cent and supper afterward for six cents. The authorities also own a cemetery, in which the citizens can be interred cheaply. All She Wanted.

Although India has exhaustless de posits in the salt mines of the Punjab, 1,582.784 tons of salt were imported in 1906-7. Good Definition. A gentleman is born with the nec essity of thinking of others before he does of himself.—Florida Times Union. New York City’s Railways. On a real busy day the New York railways take in one and one-half mil lion nickels. The Devil and the Idler. Turkish proverb: The devil tempts all other men, but idle men tempt the devil. France is responsible for the game of billiards. Devigne invented it in 1572. Love knows no law, unless we ex cept the mother-in-law. Omaha Directory TELEGRAPHY Do you want to learn it ?

Boston.—Here is an antique chair made of oak which was used in the time of Charles II. A historical writer upon ancient furniture says: “The work' of Grinling Gibbons, the master woodcarver, 1668 to 1685, consisted of foliage, birds and cherubs’ heads.” In this chair will be seen the cher ubs supporting the crown of England, at the top. The “stretcher,” which in earlier days was of use to keep the feet raised from a wet or drafty floor, Chair 250 Years Old Still in Good Condition. is elaborately carved, and has the crown on the center. The chair is over 250 years old, and has been a direct descendant in the Henderson family through all these years, and the children of six genera tions have had the honor of sitting in it. The chair is as sound as when first made. It is put together with wooden pegs and not a crack or crevice can be found in it, although it had been used as a common chair by the grandpar ents of the present owner. The chair is now owned by Mrs. George W. Neal of Malden, Mass. MOTANIC BAD INDIAN NO MORE. Cayuce Chief Becomes a Christian— Makes Dramatic Confession. Spokane, Wash.—Motanic, bad In dian, terror of the Umatilla reserva tion southwest of Spokane and leader of pagan customs among the Cavuse braves, has embraced the Christian re ligion, and, as a consequence, there is rejoicing among the faithful in the Tutilla Presbyterian mission. The con version of the chieftain was the dra matic climax to the ordination of Rev. Edward Conner, a full-blooded Cayuse, as minister of the gospel a few days ago. Following the singing of the Cayuse version of “Washed in the Blood of the Lamb,” in which braves and f > ON£T TEUTONIC squaws joined heartily, Motanic, dressed in barbaric splendor arose from bis seat and, facing the congre gation, declared his intention to live a better life. He vowed he would abandon the pagan customs, bid good by forever to the feathered headdress and the red and orange paint, to par ticipate no more in the festal parades nor partake of the white man's fire water. He would not steal, gamble or cheat his fellow man or brother. Mo tanic had become a Christian. It was a fitting close to the ordination of Con ner. At the conclusion of the services which made Conner a full-fledged min ister of the gospel there was stillness. Motanic walked to the front of the al- ! tar. Tears streamed down his weath er-bronzed cheeks and his big frame shook with sobs. He looked neither to the right nor to the left. Motanic con fessed his sins to the world and swore allegiance to a new king. Suddenly a glad note burst from the throat of a little brown woman In the corner. It was the signal for a spontaneous outburst of song from the Indian congregation. Then his faith ful squaw went home with the chief. DEAR LITTLE CHAP. Bob—Say, ma, were men very scarce when you married pa, or did you just feel sorry for him? DOCTOR SAID “USE CUTICURA” In Bad Case of Eczema on Child— Disease Had Reached a Fearful State—His Order Resulted in Complete Cure. “When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly ail of my bead. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and w^sthen advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies which I did and I was en tirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can gafely say that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich., Oct. 20. 1907.” OBJECT LESSON FOR CHILDREN. Mayor Was Quick to See and Impress Good Point. It was five minutes before noon. The mayor and the state superintend end had spent an hour talking to the children in an Ohio school, and just before the stroke of the gong the chairman of the local school commit tee was called upon to follow them. ‘■Children," he said, pointing toward the window, "as you go out from the school in about two minutes you will see a gang of men who arc now shovel ing cinders into a railway train. They are earning $35 a month. * "Beside them is a timekeeper earn ing $55. "At the head of the train is an en gineer getting $100, and over him is a superintendent getting two hun dred. • “What is the difference between those men? Education. Get all you can of it."—Youth's Companion. THEN IT LOOKED ABOUT RiGHT. Coal Dealer Understood When Told What Load Represented. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in one of the last addresses that he made to his Sunday school class before abandon ing it, said of carefulness in business: “Too many business men are care ful on one side, their own side, only. Thus a coal dealer whom I used to know shouted one afternoon to an em ploye who was driving out of the yard: ‘“Hold on there. Jim! That coal can’t have been weighed It looks a trifle large for a ton to me.’ “Jim shouted back: “ "This ain’t a ton, boss. It's two ton.’ “ ‘Oh, all right,’ said the dealer, in a modified tone. ‘Beg your pardon; go ahead.’ ” FOUND A WAY To Be Clear of the Coffee Troubles. “Husband and myself both had the coffee habit and finally his stomach and kidneys gor. in such a bad condi tion that he was compelled to give up a good position that he had held for years. He was too sick to work. His skin was yellow, and I hardly think there was an organ in his body that was not affected. “I told him I felt sure his sickness was due to coffee and after some dis cussion he decided to give it up. “It was a struggle because of thq powerful habit. One day we heard about Postum and concluded to try it, and then it was easy to leave off coffee. “His fearful headaches grew less frequent, his complexion began to clear, kidneys grew better until at last he was a new man altogether, as a result of leaving off coffee and tak ing up Postum. Then I bfegan to drink it, too. “Although I was never as bad off as my husband, I was always very I nervous and never at any time very J strong, only weighing 35 lbs. before j I began to use Postum. Now I weigh 115 lbs. and can do as much work as I anyone my size, I think. “Many do not use Postum because i they have not taken the trouble to ! make it right. I have successfully S fooled a great many persons who have i drunk it at my table. They would j remark. ‘You must buy a high grade j of coffee.’ One young man who clerked in a grocery store was very enthusias- j tic about my ‘coffee.’ When I tola him what it was, he said,‘why I’ve sold Postum for four years but I had no idea it was like this. Think I’ll drink Postum hereafter.’ ” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well viile,” in pkgs. “There’s a Reason.’’ VIRGINIA MERCHANT RID OF A VERY BIG GRAVEL STONE. Another Remarkable Cure of Seriou3 Kidney Trouble. C. L. Wood, a prominent merchant of Fentress, Norfolk Co., Va., was suf -, fering some months ago with frequent at tacks of hard pain in the back, kidneys and bladder and the kidney secretions were irregularly ^ scanty or profuse. Medical treatment - rtn i&r iaueu to cure him. “At last,” says Mr. Wood, “I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills, and before one box was gone, I went through four days of intense pain, finally passing a stone, one-half by five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter. I haven’t had a sign of kidney trouble since.” Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
