PRACTICAL FAITH.
(lazing at the Vhinn ot His Faith.
I'p in the Catskill Mountains
there lived a mountaineer who be
lieved thin he hud been called to
preach the gospel, He got a li
cense, but he could gel no church
lo pffiieh in. Indeed, ihere was
no church within m.iny miles of
w here he lived,
I'm a while Dominie Joe, as he
w,a billed, preached in the school
house, but as he was always say
ing, what he wanted was "real
proper house of worship." Du
ring week days he was a hard
working fanner wiih meagre re
smitces; and whenever he spoke
of a church to his hard working
neighbors they would shake their
heads as if they thought him a little
queer.
But the dominie did not give up
his plan indeed, as time went on
he thought of little else. He even
selected a sue for the church a
preliy knoll at the edge of his farm.
One evening when he came in
from milking his face was shining.
"Maria," he said 10 his wife sol
emnly, "the trouble with me is
thai 1 haven't had the real kind of
faith. Alter milking this evening
l'kneeled down in the corner of
the cow yard where I could see
the little knoll, and with my eyes
open I prayed and prayed, until I
saw the church just as plain as I
see your face. It was white with
green shutters and had a tall stee
ple; and on top of the steeple,
Maria, was a bright star.'
Dominie Joe's wite was worried;
she feared that his head "had gone
quite wrong."
In the middle of the night the
dominie awnke and exclaimed,
"Maria! Old Josjah Sturgis's tan
nery! Some une told me that Jo
siah had sold the old tannery .site
to a city man for a summer place.
I'll bet ihat city man'll pay to have
the tannery pulled down and car
ted away! And there's the stuff
Fur our church!"
No one could withstand Domi
nie Joe's enthusiasm; thai winter
the farmers got logeilier and car
ted the timi'er and the boards of
the old tannery 10 the place where
today stands a pretty and neat a
country church as you can see any
where. Dominie Joe himself was
a fair carpenter. Country masons
and carpenters gave their work.
During the afternoon of the church
"raisin'' word went round that the
city man had offered to pay for a
steeple and buy u bell.
A visiting fisherman who fre
quently passes Dominie Joe's
church says that he never sees the
big gilt star on the steeple with
out thinking of the mountaineer
ktueling in his cow yard and gaz
ing ai the vision of Ins faith.

Charleston, Miss. Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
sa;, ?: "I n;ive never had to use very much medicine,
be:v;rc if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
slraighteii me out and make me feel as good as new.
We have used in our family for years
THEDFORD'S
1 m
f.nnniirMT
and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
It has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. 1 recommend it to my friends and am
glad to do so." Black-Draught is the old, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not right, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford's Black-Draught. At all Druggists.
Always Insist on the Genuine!

LOVE TREE.
The love tree grows in the valley of dreams,
Under the hill of song;
Its fruit is sweet to the lips of youth,
Its roots grow deep and strong,
Its shadow is just so wide that two
Can sit 'neath its branches fair;
Together we'll flee to the true love tree
By the rosepath leading there!
Its blossoms are fragrant to breathe and pluck,
Its essence is sweeter than life;
Its evergreen shade is a beautiful glade
To hide from the fever of strife,
There are doves in its branches so constant and true,
It is beautiful just to behold
The tender devotion of hearts to one notion
In that beautiful valley of gold.
The valley of dreams and the summits of song,
Ah, sweet, let us try them again, ,
Down the path of the bee and the bird and the bloom
To the end of the evergreen lane,
There shall come to our cheeks as we stroll hand in hand
Forgetting our rue and our ruth
The old happy thoughts and the old happy words
And the old. tender whispers of youth.
The path is the same that it always has been,
And the love tree still in its place,
While the songs will awake and the dreams will arise,
And the joy will come back 10 your face;
Your lips will grow red as they were on a time,
Rosy red as the fruits of a kiss,
And the bells will sing silver, the fields will burn gold,
And our hearts will brim over with bliss.
The love tree grows in the valley of dreams,
Under the hill of song,
The path and the shade and the joy are still there,
And the fancies, how quickly they throng!
Come back from the shadows again, hand in hand,
With youth in the soul set free.
Let us follow, dear heart, where the roses are red,
And the dream singer sings in the tree!

HER DYING MESSAGE,
Raise the window higher, mother, air can never harm me now,
Let the breeze blow in upon me, it will cool my fevered brow,
Soon death's struggle will be over, soon be stilled this aching heart,
But I have a dying message I would give before we part,
Lay my head upon your bosom, fold me closer, mother dear,
While 1 breathe a name long silent in thy fond and loving ear.
Mother there is one you know him oh, 1 cannot speak his name.
Y.iu remember how he sought ik, how with loving words he came.
How he gained my young affections, vowing in most lender lone.
That he would forever guard me were my hejn but his alone.
You remember how I trusted, how my thoughts were all of him
Draw the curtain higher, mother, for the light is growing dim.
Need 1 tell ou how he left me, coldly putting me aside,
How he woed and won another a. id now claims her as his bride?
Lite has been a weary burden since those hours of deepest woe
Wipe these drops from my forehead, they are death marks, well! I know.
Gladly I obey the summons to a bright and better land.
Where no hearts are won and broken, but all form a happy band.
Do not chide him, irtoiher darling, though my form you see no more,
Grieve not, think me only waiting for you on the oiher shore.
Do not chide him, mniher, darling, though you miss me ai your side,
i forgive imii. and I wish him )oy with her so soon his bride.
Take this ring from offiny finger, where he placed il long ago,
Give it to him with a blessing thai in dying I bestow.
Tell him that it is a token of forgiveness and of peace
Hark! I hear his voice; it passeih; will those watching never cease?
Hark ! 1 hear his footsteps coming. No, 'tis but the rustling trees.
Strange how my disordered fancy caught his footfall on the breeze.
I am.cold now: close the window, fold me closer kiss me, too.
Joy I what means ihat burst of music? Tis the Saviour s voice, 1 know.
See Him wailing 10 receive me! Oh, how great a bliss to die!
Mother, meet your child in heaven, one more kiss and" then goodbye.

IIVouHove, Will You Be Kind
Enough to Point Him Out?
The man who dresses very plain,
and thinks a little with his brain,
and reasons right and understands,
and works a little with his hands.
Who makes ilie Golden Kule his
guide, and never gives away to
pride, and sings a little every day,
and lakes a little time to pray; who
keeps a bridle on his tongue, and
says no harm of old or young, and
helps no scandal on its way by tell
ing what he's heard 'em say;
whose word is equal to his bond,
and goes a little way beyond, and
will no confidence betray, nor act
the hypocrite for pay; who rates
his honor as a man as high as any
body can, and loves his wife and
pays his debts, and smiles a heap
and never frets if you have seen
a man like thai, I wish you'd tell
me where he's at, and show me
how to find the place, and let me
see his blessed face.
Men will do almost anything for
money some will even work.

applies to battery
ills, too!
Get that examination NOVp
IN spite of the old proverb, it IS sometimes
too late to mend. When plates are buckled
and terminals are corroded through neglect
or unusually hard service, there is little left
for the battery-man to say but "New battery".
Don't let it get that far. Drive around to
day to the Prest-O-Lite Service Station and
have a thorough examination made. Some
trifling fault may be uncovered now that may
result disastrously if not remedied.
Anyhow, find out. That's what Prest-O-Lite
Service Stations are for. You will get
courteous treatment and, what is even more
important, honest advice.
When you do need a new battery, you'll be
glad to know that Prest-O-Lite is back to pre
war prices and that an allowance will be made
on your old battery. Get that examination
