"Almost six or seven weeks ago I became paralyzed all at once with rheumatism , " writes Mrs. Louis Me- Key , 013 Seventh street , Oakland , Cal. "It struck me In the back and extend ed from the hip of my right leg down to my foot. The attack was so severe that I could not move in bed nnd was afraid that I should be a cripple for life. ' "About 12 years ago I received a sample bottle of your Liniment but never had occasion to use it , as I have always been well , but some thing told mo that Sloan's Liniment would help me , so I tried 'it. After the second application _ I could get up out of bed , nnd in three days could walk , and now feel well and entirely free from pain. "My friends were very much sur- ITrlsed at my rapid recovery and I was only too glad to tell them that Sloan's Liniment was the only med icine I used. " An Indignant Editor. Last Saturday evening after sowing two patches on our Sunday trousers and cleaning and pressing , them wo hung them out to dry. An hour later wo found that they had been stolen. This will explain why wo were not In < > ur accustomed place in church on Sunday. The human being who will deliberately steal a pair of ttqusers from the editor of a weekly paper , and knowing that they are his only pair for church-going , deserves a worse fate than'otfrj indignation will allow us to mention.

John Joseph is"a member of the minority and u loyal follower of John Sharp Williams , hence ho is in his clement in those closing days of the ses sion , when John Sharp Is milking campaign mate rial for the Democracy. John JosephJs gindtmlly , but surely , working his way to leadership on tho'Democratic side. While Congressman Do Armond of Missouri is the man upon whom will descend the mantle of John Shaip Williams when the latter goes to take the senate scat to which the Mississippi Domocrals olcclod him last fall , the Democracy will want ono or two others to bear the brunt of bnttlo on Ihe floor. Fitzgerald appears to bo sure of being ono of those. Fitzgerald was born In Trolleydodgorvlllo March 10 , 1872. After a course In Brooklyn public schools ho went to Man hattan college , giaduatlng with the degree of bachelor of arts. Then ho studied law In the Now York law school ) and was admitted to the Now York bar when 21. It wasn't long before ho became Interested in Brooklyn poli tics. Ho was a delegate to Iho nntlorial Democratic convention in Kansas City In 1000 , when W. J. Bryan was nominated for the second time. Ho was then a representative in congress , having been elected from the Seventh Now York dlstilct to the Fifty-sixth congress in 1898 , when only 20 years of ago. Ho was re-elected to the Fllty-sevcnth , Fifty-eighth , Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth congi esses by big majorities. AMEER OF AFGHANISTAN Hnblbullah Khan , nmeer of Afghanistan , "Do- loved of Qed , " "Lamp of the Congregation , " "Light of the Faith , " and "SeekOr After God's Help , " is waging an ofllclal war against Biitlsh India. He has not declared war yet , but ho has allowed 20,000 of his soldiers to invade India and attack the fiontler guards. The first losult of tills indiscreet act will probably bo the withdrawal of the subsidy of $000,000 n year ho has been drawing fiom the British government ; the second end a sound thrashing and the third may bo the withdrawal of the titlct "Your Majesty , " con ferred upon him by King Edward when the ameer visited India lately. He was invited to India in the hope that the sight of an Asiatic nation of 300,000,000 people prospering and peaceable under British rule would reduce his bumptiousness , for ho had begun to entertain the Idea that his capital , Kabul , was the center of the universe. The sight of the riches of India seems only to have stirred up his cupidity and the predatory instincts of his robber ancestors. ' The ameer is an autocratic ruler and has an army of 50,000 mon. Tills by no means accounts for his full fighting force , for every man of the 1,000,000 population is a born fighter and goes about armed at all times , ready to defend his own life and take that of his neighbor if a good opportunity offers. The Kentucky mountaineers could learn much from the Afghans. The ameer is not a. bad ruler , as Orientals go. lie has a total lack of re spect for human life , and his punishments are sometimes what wo would consider exqcsslve. The Btory told by Rudyard Kipling of the nervous sen try who rushed into the ameer's presence and announced that the Russians were coming' illustrates this trail. The ameer ordered him into a tree to watch for them and posted guard below to keep him there. When unable to hold out any longer he dropped upon the bayonets below. REAL RULER OF IRELAND' Cardinal Michael Logue , archbishop of Ar magh and primate of all li eland , the man who is regarded by all , even the British govprninnnt , as the "real ruler of Ireland , " quite appropriately took a leading part in the centennial celebration of the archdiocese of New Yoilc. Not only is he a fellow- countryman of the majority of the people of the diocese , but ho is the direct ecclesiastical descend ant of St. Patrick , who was the flist bishop of Armagh ; the Armagh cathedral , like that of New York , is named after that saint , and Armagh is Archbishop Farley's home county. Caidinal Logue Is possessed of the truest soit of patriotism , a patilotlsm that urged him in the first speech ho over delivered in America for this is his first visit to this country to urge ills hear ers never to forget , the old sod , but not to allow their love for their native laud of their fathers to render them less devoted citizens of the land of their adoption , where no man could say that ho had not a chance to get on in the world. It was Cardinal Logue to whom the British government owes the defeat of its half-way home rule measure. John 13. Redmond had undoi taken to have it adopted by the national convention. The opposition of Timothy Healy , William O'Brien and other politicians would have had little weight , for the people knew the antipathy that exists between the two factions , had It not been for the pronouncement of Cardinal Logue that the bill was utterly un satisfactory and that any politician who endeavored to secure its acceptance by the convention would incur the grave suspicion that lie was endeavoring to deceive his countrymen in the interests of the ministry. The archbishop of Dublin and the bishops of Klldaie and Limerick Joined in the cardinal's denunciation and the measure was killed. Caullnal Logue was created a cardinal In 1893 when IIP succeeded the late primate , whose coadjutor he had been. He Is a stern disciplinarian , as some of his clergy know , and will tolerate no shirking of duty. SON TO RIVAL KING EDWARD Mrs. Bradley Mai tin Is In the llmollglit once moie , not as giving a ball that cost moro than any other ball ever given in America , or as man aging mamma marrying her daughter to a foreign earl , but as the mother of the director-general of New York society , the man who lias extended its bounds to include 2,000 of the elite instead of the original 400 Frederick Townsend Martin , better known among his Intimates as "Bachelor" Martin , ho being a single man. The passing of Waid McAllister and the panic left Now York society demoralized , and it was Bachelor Martin who pulled it through the past season. Now he is going to England to plan enter tainments for his sister , the countess of Craven , to devise novelties to give a fillip to the jaded appetites of English society. It is no light under taking to go into exclusive English society in the role of professional entertainer , so much different are their tastes from outs , but this young man goes without any qualms whatever , for ho has supreme confidence in hlnifaelf. He has tact , oilglnallty and determination , and a total lack of self-conscious ness , and does not fear to rival that prince of the art of entertaining King Edward himself. Mr. Mai tin has been the Ward McAllister for the three great functions of the year tlio theatricals * in which Mrs. George Gould , Mrs. Frances Pruyu and Kyrle Belle\vplayed the characters , the function which Mr. Martin terms the "Gould Tea ; " the reception to the Duchess d'Uies , and the tea at which Mrs. Elinor Glyn , Bllllo Burke nnd Bishop Potter figured prominently. Mr. Martin doesn't go in for a town house , for lie believes that In the future , because of the growth of society , the hotels must serve in a largo measure the purposes of private homes.

STORY UY THE "HIGHWAY AND UYWAY" PREAClinU l * * , by tl.o Autliul , W.B.KJiou ) Scripture Authority 2 Klnga G:2t- : 7:120. : * SERMONETTE. Self-help lends to God-help. The limit of human endeavor marks the borderland of God's power. Wo must do before v/e can discover what God has done. Many a soul la famishing In Ig norance of the plenty which God has provided just outside the closed gate of the will. Realization of a desperate condition Is the first step in the direction of deliverance. Tflo one cast out by men may become the messenger of God. The depth of human med Is often God's recruiting ground , The discovered good thing may become a curse unless It Is shared with others suffering a like need. God can make the food of the enemy feed his famished chil dren. God can turn the famine Into a feast every time. Samaria turned the lepers out to die , and the lepers returned with a message of life. Evil was returned with good. , God's blessings arc best en joyed when passed along. Dearers of good tidings al ways find" doubting hearts to question the truth of their re ports. The doubting heart Is always 5 ready with Its plausible theory as to why It should not believe. The doubting heart misses many a blessing at God's hands. It was a simple test which the servants of the king suggested to prove whether the message , of the lepers was true. It was "just "let us send and ceo. " This Is the appeal of the Psalm ist when he cries to the doubtIng - Ing heart : . "Oh taste and see . " Jesus' In- that the Lord Is good. - I vltatlon to the first Inquiring i disciples was : "Come and see. " < : When Nathaniel doubted that the Messiah had come out of . ! ; Nazareth , Philip responded with the simple test : "Come and see. " The woman who met Jesus at the well cried to her fellow townsmen of Sychar : "Come and see , " and this Is the simplest , the quickest and the surest way of proving that Jesus has delivered the soul be sieged by oln and has spread n feast for those who hear the glad tidings and "Come and THE STORY. WAS during the BleRo of Samaria IT by the mighty Ben-IIailrid , king of Syria. For long , long months the city had been shut within Its strong walls nnd the famine was pressing- sere upon the people. The scant supply of provisions grew less nnd less and finally those who had not gold and silver to buy at exorbitant prices were unable longer to obtain food , BO that many died. Awful was the suffering of the people ple , and dark and terrible were the deeds which the people crazed by hun ger were led to commit. It was no uncommon thing to hear of the eating of human flesh , the stronger prevail ing over the weak and taking life that the life of the other might bo sustained. Such was the condition in the city of Syria , whore the king of Israel dwelt. And without the walls of the city wore four lepers suffering from the scarcity of food , but missing the aw ful Bights and Bounds which those within the walls had to endure. Now It had bean that during the earlj months of the siege the friends ol these leprous outcasts remembered them and cast food down * to them from the walls. Those food supplies which they hud carefully stored and used as sparingly as possible wore finally exhausted , and then they realized as never before that they were face to face with death. They know the > could not look for further help from their brethren in the city of Samaria and they understood equally well thai the enemy encamped all around the city would not listen to their cry for bread. ' Thus In their misery they sat wait Ing for death , and while waiting thoj talked over their helpless condition. "Surely wo have fallen upon ovl days , " exclaimed one , dolefully. "Yea , as though our condition was not miserable enough there must be added this that wo perish with him ger , " responded a second , drawing Ills ragged mantle about his emaclatec form. And then he added with on ah of utter hopelessness : "I3ntvh > should wo deslrs to live ? Is not on leprosy but a living death , oven now ? ' "Starvation Is but a quicker road to the grave , " gilrnly assented a third. "True , and wo nro well on our wn > to the valley of dry bones , " spoke up the fourth , and by way of emphasis he extended his arm which was mote skin and hones , the white spots of leprosy - rosy making It the more ghmtly , A deep and long silon/e followed thla round of comment from tlio four forlorn outcasts. From their place without the walls the citoB and groaua nnd curses fiom within could bo faint ly heard , and occasionally a flgmo could bo seen passing along the top of the lamparttt of the city far above them. Far out across the valley could bo BOOH the tents of the Syrians glis tening \\hllo in the last rays of the afternoon sun. Long months they had been thuro , until the sight had be come" monotonous and uninteresting , ami to-day , as on other days , these four lorfCfs let their oyoti wander out In that direction , bccnuso they luul nothing hotter to do. Smoko. could bo aeon curling up laz ily fiom the multitude of camp fires , bringing n suggestion of food nnd the evening meal. A wistful look came Into the face of ono of the lep ers , nn ho modltnttvoly enld : "Thoro is no lnclc ot food with the Syrians. " "Thou art foolish lit the thought , " came the sharp rebuke from the man sitting next him , "for dead mon need 10 food. " "Well , wo can dlo but onro. Hotter o polish In the effort to got food thane o Idly sit still until wo peilah , " wna ho rotoit. "Yes , and soon wo shall ho so weak vo shall bo unnblo to move , even hough wo want to , " spoke up another , encouragingly , nnd ho struggled to Us feet. "Why should wo sit" here mill wo dlo ? Como , let us go out o the host of the Syrians. If they save us allvo we shall live ; and If hey kill us , wo shall but dlo. " Saying which , ho started off with mcortnln wtops toward the distant camp. By this time the evening shadows wore beginning to fall and by the time they had reached the outskirts of the Syrian camp darkness had come. A strange alienee brooded In ho air , but sojntont were the lepers n creeping in unnoticed that they lid not become conscious of the ominous sllonco until they had stumbled over some garments lying upon the giouml nnd fell headlong Into the very nldst of ono of the tents. In fear and .icmbllng they lay quiet whoio they uul fallen , expecting to bo killed any minute for their abiupt entrance , but ns the moments wont by and nothing inpponod , they became conscious of : ho stillness which filled all the camp. Not a Hound could bo hoard save Uio noise of their lapld btctUhlng , nnd at last they grow bold to rlao and inves- tlgato the tent Into which they had so unexpectedly stumbled. Food and gaiments were scattered nhout In the utmost confusion , as they could toll , even In the darkness. "And thla tent Is empty , lee , " shout ed one of the other lepers , who hud tottered farther on. Then followed a hurried investiga tion , the lepers as they wont from tent to tent gathering up articles of value , and at last exhausted with their efforts they Bat down to oat moro leisurely , for In their astonishment they at first had only oaten a few mouthfuls as they wont. "Wo do not well , " suddenly ex claimed ono of the lopoi-B , "for this Is a clay of good things , and wo hold our peace. It' wo tarry till the morning light , aonio mischief will como upon us ; como now therefore , lot us re turn and carry the good tidings to the city. " That had boon a wonderful day In Sanmiia. Wonderful , for the hungry had been fed ns though from the very hand of God. All day long the people had streamed forth to the camp of the SyilaiiB , and spoiled the tents there so that everybody had an abun dance nnd to spare. Then with the coming of the evening' came the bugle call for the closing of the gates of the city. The few last stiagglora have como In nnd the gate keeper has begun - gun the task of shutting the ponder ous Iron dors , when ho notes a llttlo group of mon standing at Homo dis tance outside the gate and looking wist fully within. Ho beckons them to come , and there comes the answering cry : "Unclean ! Unclean ! " "What ! " cried some one from wltli- In the gate , "are the lopes who brought deliverance to the city to bo shut out ? " Again the cry sounds forth : "Unclean ! Unclean ! " It waB at that moment that a figure was Been to press tlnough the gate , and us the people noted his long hair and coaise lobe they whispered : "It Is the piophet. " f With nipld atrldos the prophet pro- cccdod stialght to the gioup of four lepers , not heeding the cry of "Un clean ! Unclean ! " And that night when the gates of Samaria closed they shut within , not without , the four lepers who had so nobly served the city In Its sore need. Saloon Town Reformed. "Wo'vo got a town on our road the boys call 'Hell. ' If you want a real hard thing to try out .the Y. M , C. A. on , put ! ( . theio. " This was the. remark made ten years ago by a railroad pres ident to an International Y. M. C. A. secretary , who had urged that this organization could better the condi tions of living and the service on the road. "That anils us , " said the sec- rotary. The company put up ? 1,500 for an equipment , and the citizens $2,500. At the end of a month saloon men piotested that the new organization tion- was ruining their business , Ono of them , who had the biggest paying corner saloon In town , said lila month ly receipts had fallen off from over $3,000 to $700 , and ho or the associa tion hud to quit. Now a handsome Episcopal church occupies his corner. A brakeman who came back to the town after an absence of two years , hunted for his former associates In their accustomed seats in the saloon and found them in the Y. M. C. A. building.
