Our I's and....
....Other Eyes.
Our I'a ore Just as strong as
they were fifty years ago, when
we have cause to use them.
Itut we have less ami less cause
to praise ourselves, since others
do the praising, and we nre
more than willing for you to we
us through other eyes. This
is how we look, to S. V. Hoyce,
wholesale and retail druggist,
I Hi huh, Minn, who after a
quarter of a ceutury of obser
vation writes:
"I have sold Aycr's Parsapa
rilla for more thau 25 years,
both at wholesale ami retail,
and have never heard anything
hut words of praise from my
customers; not a single com
plaint has ever reached inc. I
l.jlieve Aycr's Parsaptuilla to
he the best blood purifier, that
has been introduced to the gen
eral public." This, fiom a
mau who has sold thousands of
duetis of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
is strong testimony. Lut it
only echoes popular sentiment
the world over, which lias,
"Nothing but w ords of praise
for Ayer's Snrsaparilla."

TALMAGE ON MATRIMONY.
I'vciy, iVrsim, Ik Sas. Has an
Siiih;rdn the Wurlj.
All'initj
The Ki'V. T. Io Witt Talmafie has not
at all been afrabl to express his views uu
marriage an J all that pertaiu.s Id that
relation. A uuuiber nt' l'r. Taliuao's
senuuns on matrimonial subjects have
been put between tmers by ). l,iiui
Klepseb of the Christian Herald under
the title of" Wed. ntt Kiny."
The lirst suljeet dlseussed is the choice
of a wile. r. Talintte sajs ;
" l..eiieless is any man in our time
who make lifelong alliance wit h one
who, because of her disposition, or hered
ity, or liahiis, or intellectual vanity, nt
moral Iwisiilieati.m, may be said In be of
'!'- I'hili.tines. 't he world, he declares,
"never owned such opulence of won anl
character, or fUcli splendor nf woniaiiU
iiianmrs, or muliinnlinous instances nl
wilely, iiintlierly, daiiuhti rly or sisierh
devotion as it owns today. Woman is
not only man's cipial, but III ulleelional
and religious tialure, which is the best
part of us, she is T"i per cent his su
perior." l'r. Taiuiae lurther scores man and
defines woman by addiUf; that at the rate
woman is advancim; in superiority "the
majority of men will have dilliulty in
ti u ii 1 ii '; in the opposite sex enough igno
rance to make appropriate consort." It-'
declares that "auiid all ihe iitiparalh li d
magnificence of womanhood the man is
iuexeusablc who mimics a fool."
Tli liist micstiuti that I)r. Talmae
urofN upon a man who would choose a
wile is divine direction in that operation
"Witness," says he. "a thousand hells on
earth kindled by unworthy wives,
termagants that scold like a March north

' Especially is devout supplication
needed because of the fact that society is
so full of artificialities; that men ure de
ceived as to whom they ore marrying,
and no one but (he Lord knows. Aftel

unsophisticated man to decipher the

aci urate judgment of who it is to whom
he oflets hand and heart'' This is what
makes so ninny recreant husbands. They
make an honorable matriaoe com met. bin
ihe ooods di livered are so dill'irenl from
the sample by which the) baiaiucd
I'bey were simpiy swindled, and the)

l'r. T.ilmiigc insists that "there is in ah
ihe world si-me one who was made foi
7011 as certain!) as Kve was made loi
Adam. All sens of mistakes occur, be
cause F.ve was made out of a rib Irom

ties to one that you will select the wron
rib." '
('oiisicjuently l'r. Taliuaf;i argues that
man should be both praycrlul aud cau
lioiis before enteritu; on the connubial
slate, and, above at', "let not a iiiesliou
of this imp irlauce be settled by the ecb
bratid matchmakers H onl-hino in almost
every community, l'epeiid upon your
own judgment, divinely illuuiiuatcd. Itut
player about this will amount tu nothing
unVss you pray soou enouudi."
The doctor is seiious when lie says:
"Wait until you are lascinated and the
I -1 1 1 1 1 1 1 u 1 ii of your soul is disturbed b)
a magneiic and cXijuisite opalescence, and
then you will answer your owu prayers,
aud you wiil mistake your owu infatua

t lie woman ot a man s choice must
Dot be a scoffer at religious things. A
man shouldn't make a mistake aud uiakt
a choice by the eye instead id' by divine
wisdom. "As lar as I cau anahz.u it'
concludes the doctor, "sine rity and

I was seated in I rout of the hotel tulk

There was a drummer near me who was
the best Vcnlrilcuuist I bad ever seen
The rest of the company knew of his

to liuve a little fun mil of me. I heard
voice from tile third story saying:

Hipcntaucc is not merely
little
twinge of remorse uver sotu? wrong thing.
It is not simply a gush of tears st the
recollection of some wickedness. It is
not mere shame at being found out in
,
ill-
some meanness, or unclesnness, or
honesty. Ii is the revolution of the
whole life. Sins wept over iuut be for
saken forever. Repentance is a chanu'e
ol heart, a turning of ihe face just ihe
oilier way. Il is well for us tu make
diligent iplest to be sore lhat we slwivs
abandon the wrong doing which we di
ploic, lhat we turn away Irom the sin
which wr confess.
A good many people get only half ihe
gospel. They talk a great deal shout
believing, but very little shout repenting.

1 he visitor in Washington from the
sweetpotuto dunes of New Jersey was
trying the cable and electric eats around
the city, accompanied by a war depart

ago in the mosipiilo state.
"Yes, yes," be remarked as be came

that's what he done, for the train got to

ibe family of the poorly pail pastor of
country church, says the Omaha
World-Herald. It was winter and the
pastor was in financial straights. A
number of his flock decided to meet at
bis bouse and offer prayers lor the speedy
recovery of the sick ones and fur matc-
al blessings upon the pastor s family.
While one of the deacons was offering a
rvent prayer for blessings upon the
istor's household there was a loud
km
ick at the door. When the door was
pened a stout tanner boy was seen,
wrapped up comfortably.
"What do vim want, boy .' askedone
of I he elders.
"I've brought pa's prayers," replied
the boy.
"Urought pas prayers? What do

SHE GOT THE CALF.
It Was Ity A White l.i. In Bible Class Hit
She Wun 1 he I'rize.
"Speaking of experiences," said a
young matron iu Brooklyn at an after
noon lea, "I can tell a ipieeronc. When
I went from New York to Virginia to
leach a public school in a small crossroads
town, I found the people very religious
and sincere, while, I am afraid, I was
neither. I went to church, though, hi
cause everybody was expected to go.
One of the regular attendants was a sort
oi nait lawyer, null larmer, who wiih no
more religiously inclined than I was, and
we became linn Irietids through our
mutual sense ol humor, The one church
was presided over by a worthy
worlhy couple. By that I mean that
the pastor, the Kev. Mr. Carter, preached
while ihe Hev Mrs Carter did evangelical
world in teaching the Bible class. She
ml an air of omuiscieucu that was
delightful, but it irritated my farmer
wyer fiiend. So one day he came lo
me and said.
" 'I'll give you a calf if you will take
down the Kev. Mrs. Carter.'
"What can you menu? I said. 'I'm
not a wrestler.
' "Never mind,' be said; 'just join our
unday school class and take her down.'
" Wed, I joined the class. The lesson
for the day was the account of the walking
of the three men in the fiery furnace. We
were treated lo a long lecture by our
teacher on the beauties of the triumph
of faith, and as she stopped fur want of
breath my larmer friend, who sat behind
me, gave me a nudge und said:
" 'Now s your tune; take her down.
"I braced up aud said:
" 'But, Mrs. Carter, haven't youTitard
the latest scientific teaching about Ibat
occurrence? Haven't you heard that it
is uow believed those three men wore
complete suits of asbestus?
"It was not likely lhat the good wo
man had ever beard of the substance,
but she was not lo be caught uapping. So
she replied:
" 'Why er yes, I thiuk so.'
"The lesson was brought to a sudden
close. The next Sunday we knew thai
the latest teaching of science had been
earnestly discussed by the pastor and his
wife, for the Hev. Mr. Carter proceeded
to preach a sermon an hour lung on the
sinfulness of modern science. I got the

LOST HIS INCOGNITO.
Statesman VnMd Without His
Ctilerd I'ricnJ.
Like royalty, a statesman came to town
last week incog, writes a Washington cor
respondent of the New Y'ork Tribuuo.
He is regarded as the natural prey of
newspaper men, bis name occurs frequent
ly iu the daily c iliiinns, but he wished to
transact some private aud important busi
ness, aud rcaliziug lhat to keep it private
it must not be kuowu that be was iu
town, he went to a hotel iu (he suburbs
and registered uuder an assumed name.
Alter he had registered (let bis uaiue
be Mr. Scott), he went out under the
irees to enjoy his incognito, but it was
only fora lew brief moments, for a colored
porter came up and said:
"How d'ye do, Mr. Scoti?"
"Who in the devil told you my name
was Scott?'' asked that worthy.
"Why, Mister Scntl, 1 knows yo like
yo waz my baby. Ain't I dun worked
d r yo out at yo fact'y in Injianny? This
niggar dun had too many of you fifty
cents lo lorgtl yo name, Mister )otl:
" lhat s all light, said eott, lakmg a
crisp green bill out of bis pocket, "bul
Sam, I've got some very important busi
ness on band aud I don't want anyone to
know I'm here. So you lake this, carry
up my valise to my room, and don't you
ty a word about my name beiug !scott.
"Hight you are, sail," and Sam was
iff "Here vo," said he to the clerk in
the office. ' (live me Mr. Scott's things
dar."
Mr. Scott's things arc not here," said
p clerk. "These coats and lhat vali-e
belong to Mr. Van Dusen."
"Peed they don t boss. Dose dar
things belong lo Mr. Scott, from out in
Iniiannv, bes white man this Diggai
r knnwed, but he dun tell inc he have
some very important busincs on hand an'
he don't want no one !er know 'bout it so
be dun writ some higbflulin' name on de
ik.bul belie Mr Scott all right."
In an hour Mr. Scott was interrupted
by a reporter's card, and in (bo papers
next morning there was-a column aud a
half about him and bis presence in town.
Ho was also the subject ot a leading
editorial, and no oue dares to mention
inco'.'niio in bis presence. As lor Sam,
it's dollars to d Helmuts il begets any
more of Mr. Scull's filly cents '
S ienee has a great deal to say lib ill
the survival of the fittest, but the liosei
proposes to save the uutit Slandrrd.
