On u certain coniim'iifeiiiontoucusiuu
nt a college.) lie i.f the gi.. dilates of
tlio siilii'Hi wa a youth whoo theme
was thu "Nobility of Lab.11." Tim
young fellow, null the asMstaneu of
several books ami published volumes
of essays, hud gotten up uspuech which
wus coneeeded by ni'tirly every body to

whoowncd n 400 tu-iu farm and who

oration, because ho win not inncli up

tho impression that the j-uing fil u.vs
who spoke mean l whut limy said.
"Aha," bu said to himself as liu rubbed
his palms together with a feeling of in
ward satisfaction. "So this education
business hasn't spoilt thu boy, after all.
He is jist red hut to get back to work
on thu farm. I kin see that from that
slouch."
The next day the boy went home with
his parent, hut instead of getting up at
4 o'clock in thu morning u ml bringing
in thu plow horses, as liiu old mm ex
peeled, thu boy lay a bud until 8 o'clock
and then loafud around in his store
clothes all day. The next morning In;
struck thu old man for enough money
to pay his expenses to a ball game that
was to come oil' in a town about lily
miles n'.vuy.
When a week had passed away and
thu boy showed no signs ;of gulling
down to business, his ancestor called
him into a private council and remark
ed, "My sop, you may have meant that
oration of yours about thu nobility of
labor and thu neessity for toil as a joke,
but your ancestor is not that kind of a
humorist and unless you gel on a pair
of overalls nud get a move ou your
self tomorrow morning early, yen will
find that the appropriation for grub,
so far as you arc concerned, is exhaust
ud."
Moral Generally spunking, the man
who talks most about thu nobility of
labor is most willing to let somebody
else do the work.

man got up from his seat and started
for tho door. As ho glanced back at a
bahlhcaded firmer who sat next to him
he said that it seemed to him if his feet
smnlled that way hu would either take
a bath or call in it physician. This re
mark was heardby the haldhradcdman
who immediately started to organln a

During the heat of a political cam
paign u great "rally" was to bu held at
a certain town. Tho opposition feared
that unloss something could bo done to
break up that meeting it would.be good
bye John with them at election. Pit na
wero discusssd and rejected. Due large
and husky man with a neck on him like
a Texas bull who was noted as a scrap
per,,wauted to organize a gang who
would raid thu meeting and kunk
dowu and drag out until it was broktft
up. Another proposed to turn loose a
few steam engines near the hall in
which the meeting was to be held, so
that there would be so much noiso that
the speakers could not bu heard. When
ererybody else hud hud their say a
small mail arose and said: "All iheiu
uluns are futile. Tnuy will do fur moru
harm ihuu good. They will create it
prejudice against us ami injuru our
cause. Turn this thing over to 1110 and
if that meeting does nut prove to bu a
failure I will agree to dine on my sum
liter hat." The crowd pressed thu mini
tov bis plan but hu refused to give it a
way. Finally, as they could not agree
on anything else it wad proposed to let
thu small, mild mannered mau try his
plan.
When tho meeting of tho opposition
was called to order the bull was crowd

There is more Catarrh in this section

put together, and until tho Inst few
years was supposed to bo incurable.
For a grout many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly tailing to euro with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to bo a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hull's Cat

Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is tho
only constitutional euro on tho market.
It is taken internally in doses from to
drops to a toaspoonful. It acts direct
