The Commoner.
A PICTURE OP BROTHERHOOD
Colonel Henry Watterson, tho
brilliant editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, lends the eloquence
of his speech and tho beauty of his
diction to whatever subject has the
fortune to enlist his mind. He spoko
recently at a church dedication on
"Christianity Versus Theology," and
his discourse was' one calculated to
give tho soul flight.
The Journal is pleased to find the
address of the Louisville editor trans
ferred to the columns of Mr. Bryan's
Commoner; and thus it sees these
warriors of the democratic faith sit
ting together in sweet communion at
the feet of tho lowly and now exalted
Nazarene. This is not saying that
these leaders of thought, these
mighty orators of the land, are in
full agreement in words, but tho pic
ture is of strong men appearing to
gether in the faith of the Christ life
and service. It is a picture worthy
of contemplation and -of admiration,
illustrating how easily men may ap
pear as brothers, with their bicker
ings as temptations of tho devil
placed behind them, when their
thought is apart from passion and
apart from the mischief of sus
picion as to what one or the other is
driving at in the way of partisan or
other worldly advantage.
The note of discord is lost in the
larger, sweeter note of harmony; and
thus wo find these brothers, with
hands together, chanting in unison
the words of Watterson, saying: "In
my personal experience of many
lands I have not found that the
grandeur and beauty wrought by the
hand of man have obscured from
me the radiance of the Christ, or the
glory of the heavens. I have not
found that storied urn, or animated
bust has ever diverted my attention
from the wondrous tale of the fisher
men, or that piles of marble and
alabaster encircling the altar, in
stead of the earlier archways of na
ture above it, have come between
me and the worship of God."
And when we come to this, with
the same voice leading, the hand of
Bryan la not withdrawn: I would
think twice before trusting tho
wisest and best of men with absolute
power; but I would trust never any
body of men never any sanhedrim,
consistory, church congress, or party
convention with absolute power.
Honest men are often led to do, or
to assent, in association, to what
they would disdain upon their con
science and responsibility as in
dividuals. En masse ettremism al
ways prevails and extremism is al
ways wrong. It is the more wrong
and the more dangerous becauBe it is
rarely wanting for genial and con
vincing argument to plausible sophis
tries, furnishing congenial and con
vincing argument to the mind of the
unthinking for whatever it has to
propose."
But, to be sure, Colonel Watter
son was not talking, nor much think
ing, of political faction or of the
ambitions of men in tho great world
of sin and of strife. And thus to the
end of the eloquent chapter we find
the two brothers close together, hand
in hand, before the Throne of Grace.

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple Safe, "Reliable Way, and it
Costs Nothing to Try.
Those who suffer from catarrh
know its miseries. There Is no need
of this suffering; You can get rid of
it by a simple, safe, inexpensive,
home treatment discovered by Dr.
Blosser, who, for over thirty-six
years, has-been treating catarrh suc
cessfully. '
His treatment is unlike any other.
It is not a spray, douche, salve!
cream, or inhaler, but is a more
direct and thorough treatment than
any of these. It cleans out the head,
nose, throat and lungs so that you
can again breathe freely and sleep
without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. It heals
the diseased mucous membranes and
arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing
your nose and spitting, and at the
same time it does not poison the
system and ruin the stomach, as
internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to
Dr. J. W. Blosser, 144 Walton
Street, Atlanta, Ga., and he will
send you by return mail enough of
the medicine to satisfy you that it
is all he claims for it as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches,
catarrhal deafness, asthma, bronchi
tis, colds and all catarrhal complica
tions. He will also send you free an
illustrated booklet. Write him immediately

A SALIY FROM THE MOTORMAN
A Washington street car was get
ting under way when two woinen,
rushing from opposite sides of tho
car to greet each other, met right in
tho middle of the car track and in
front of tho car. There tho two
stopped and began to talk. Tho car
stopped, too, but tho women did not
appear to realize that it was there.
Certain of tho passengers, whoso
heads were immediately thrust out
of the windows to ascertain what
tho trouble was, began to make
sarcastic remarks, but tho two
women heeded them not.
Finally tho motorman showed that
he had a saving sense of humor.
Leaning over tho dashboard he in
quired, in the gentlest of tones:
"Pardon me, ladies, but shall I got
you a couple of chairs?" Lippin-cott's.

SHOCKED THE SUPERINTENDENT
Ho entered the superintendent's
office in a kind of bashful, well-I-got-no-business-hcre
sort of manner and
quietly asked the busy man if the
superintendent was in.
"I am he," replied that official
without raising his eyes from tho
desk "what do you want?"
"One of your trains killed my dog
a few days ago and I thought I would
stop in and "
"Well, he had no business on our
tracks; you should have kept him
tied."
"Yes, I know," meekly responded
tho caller, "but I didn't and he got
on the track and was killed, and I
thought you ought to "
"But we won't! We don't pay for
killing dogs on this road."
"Who said anything about pay?"
replied the ex-dog owner. "I'd been
trying for a month to get some one
to drown that measly cur, and as tho
railroad has killed him for mo, I
thought you ought to be paid for the
Job. Here's $2." Railroad Employe.
