"Just as I was going through a pass gate into the grounds one day last week," be said, "a nun behind me said 'Say, my friend, I see you're ueiog a pass.' 'Yes,' I aald: 'I've got I concession on tbe Pike.' 'Well, I've got a pass, too I'm a member of the Illinois legislature and I don't know just what it oalla fur.' "Calls fo.?' I said, half jokingly, 'It oalla for everything admission, food, driuk, shave, baloon tides anything.' " 'I wasn't sure it was only fur tbe gate,' be said, as he went into a barber shop oonceBfion. I decided 1 needed a shave, too, and before I tat down I gave the barber 50 cents, telling him It. was for me aod my friend. I was putting on my oillar when he arose from the chair and drew out bis pocket book containing the pass. "That's all right,' said my barber. 'All paidfr.' " 'Now, that's mighty nice of these people,' he said, putting bis pooketbook back. 'I s'posed a pass was good for meals, all right, but wouldn't a-ihougbt it would get you a shave. 'Might as well have had my hair out.' "All I sew bim do after that was to go into toe of the highest-priced res taurants on the grounds. I waited near ly an hour before I beard noises from tbe inside. Then I went away; I didn't want bim to see me. The manager of tbe cafe told me about it that afternoon. Tbe man from Illinois bad ordered 83.10 worth of food, had eaten it, and, show ing his pass, started logo out.

There are too many wuite blood corpuscles in sucn cases, and there is often a peculiar sound in the heart called a murmur, in cases of anemia. This heart murmur is caused by thinness of the blood passing throutrn tne heart. The murmur of anemia disappears when the blood regains its natural consistency and richness, it is not heart disease Sometimes people suffer intense pain over the heart, which is not heart disease, but caused bv the stomach. It is the occasion of much anxiety, alarm and suffering, for which its victim is dependent upon renex disturbances from the stomach caused by indigestion. In the same way many bad coughs are dependent upon these renex disturbances ol what is called the pneumo. gastric nerve. To enrich the blood and Increase the red blood corpuscles thereby feeding tbe nerves on rich red blood and doing away with nervous irritability, take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which oroinntes diirestion and assimilation of food so tlmt the blood gets its proper supply of nourishment from the stomach. Get as near to nature's way as you ran. A medicine made entirely of botanical ex tracts and which does not contain alcohol ia the safest.

"By mystical symbols and tokens We know of that woodorful land; But alas I on the threshold of manhood Tbe frail clue slipt out of our hand, And t no wild river rushes between us, Tbe white gates are bidden from view, And only ia sleep we remember The land whore our dreams erne true, "We shall fiod the lost treasures we sought for, Revealed in that wonderful sphere; All tbe aims and the dreams of -the by-gone ; All the good that eluded us here; Tbe ionooent faith of our childhood, The one flawless friendship we knew, Arrayed in their vanished illusions, In the land where our dreams oome true. "We know in divinest fulfillment, Our hepds are gathered at Home, Tbe treasures we sought here are hoarded Where the moth and the rust cannot come ; Aod oft when tbe sunset is fairest, We oatch through a rift in the blue, A far-away glimpse of the glories Of the land where our dreams come true. "There are garnered the prayers of our mothers, And the soft oradle-songs that they sung ; There they move in the midst in white garments, And faoos immortally young; And out from the midst of (bat river Tbeir sweet bands shall reach us the clue That leads through the Valley of Shadow To the land where our dreams oome true. "So weeping, we lay down our idols, And bury our loves out of si(;ht ; Though we know in our hearts we shall fiod them By and by in the Mansions of Light ; And the -lt tears that fall on their ashes, And blossom in pansy and run, Over there shall be lilies immortal, Io (he land where our dreams come true." THE OLD MAN'S PRAYER. "Our Father which art in heaven" in quive ing acoenta came From a bent and feebled pilgrim. "Hallowc i be Thy name I Thy kingdnm come ; Thy will be done on earth as 'tis dooe io heaven ;" Tbe o'd man's voice grew stronger as strength from God was given- "Give us this day our daily bread," be implored; then "Forgive Us our trespasses," he continued, as one thaikful just to live, "As we forgive those who trespass against or." And bis eyes Grew moist with tears as before his mind his own began to rise. ' "Lead us not into temptation," and a son whi'd gone astray Must have felt a tug of heartstrings o'er his headlong, wayward way. "But deliver us from evil," and this thought was to him sweet, For his boy was foremost io his thoughts ; me day be hoped to maet Him, and fiod him changed in heart. "An Thine shall be The glory forever and ever. Amen I" An I his soul with ecstacy Was filled to overflowing, for he seemed to icard it said, "Well done, thy faithful servant," as he smi'.ng crept to bed. NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS. WI NIVia GET TOO OLD OR TOO GOOD TO BATE NO NEED OF THEU. What I Bake New Year resolutions again? Certainly, do one is too old or too good to have need of them. But eurb your enthusiasm; weigh well your chaooes of euooess, aod be a little more lenient with yourself than yon were a year ago. Better to set an easier task and win than to risk weakening your will power ana self-rcspeot by another failure, says the Country Gentleman, Have your ideal of perfect manhood, or womanhood, by all means. Life is in deed prosuio aod commonplace without one, and alasl it is a bitter disappoint ment with one, unless we remember that we build tbe ladder by which we rise to a noble character, and that more actual progrnas is made by gaining one strong round than by ten shaky ones. Just what particular step is most need ed eaoh one must determine for him, or herseif. probably S3 out of SoiJ ICQ of us "boys and girls grofro tall" o f d most to braoe up and strengthen the touod of cheerfulness, aod I question if there are many of you who eao make a resolve tbat will do more to develop and streng then your higher nature tbao an earnest one to be cheerful even when things go wroog for from its roots is sure to spring thoughlfulness of others, and hope, aod courage. Think of these things, aod remember not only tbe precious assurance of help to him who ' woikoth out his own aalv. lion," but that the dear "Lord loveta tbe cheerful giver of hope and oourage, as well aa him who gladly giveth of his "loaves and fishes."

U ill til UU wcru made to ocour in March, as Romans placed it, there might be sense io it. It would be the more reasonable if it began Mar oh 22, the veroa'l equinox, or at the autumno-vernal equinox (Sep tember 22); or. June 22, or December 22. Excellent astronomical reasons oould bo assigned for suoh a reokoning. Higher civilization is io the northero bemiNphcrc; yet Jaouary io this part of tbe world is a season of cold and snow or chill and rain, It is a soason wbeo moviog is not only inoonvenient, but next to impopi-iblo. It is a time of tbe beginning of oothing, coming ten days after tbe winter solstice and 70 days be fore the spring equinox. The day was ohoseo, probably, upon the assumption that any time is good enough for a general starting point, pro vided everybody agrees to it, and it will probably have to go at tbat. It is queer, though, that in setting baok tbe begin ning of tbe year two months, the names September, October, November and De cember should have been suffered to re main. These were, as their origin im plies, the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months wbeo tbe year began with March, but now tbat January is first, tbey are the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth months, respectively. Conse quently they are decided misnomers. Yet there is oo uso of finding fault, where oo amount of it will correct the blunder oomplained of it has been made aod stuck down a mile-post of time by all the oivilited nations, and no profane band will be suffered to pull it up and set it forward. It has been hallowed by usage, and must be and abide until the coming of another civilisation. Whatever its origin or causes, the day brings in with it thoughts and assooia tions tbat should prove serious to the refleotive mind. Unerringly as the clock records the parsing minutes aod hours, tbe new I car writes down the passage of tbe years as tbey come aod go. The birth of the new is tbe death of the old year. It proclaims that the past is gone and cannot be ressurreoted. That lime whioh was lost in it can never be re. gained; tbat follies committed, tbat sins indulged, that vices practiced, while past, have left tbeir impress upon mind and charaoter It tells of good deeds that will never die, of manly aotions, of heroio suffering for tbe right. All of these are in the dead past, irrevocable, aod useful only as tbe good dooe has mado better and stronger the oharaoter, and evil done has made one less fitted to meet th duties and responsibilities of tbe hour. Tbe New Year enggests tbe beginning of things. It is a time of good remorse or sorrow for the past, and of good reso lutions for tbe future. The trouble that too many good resolutions are made in this first day of the year and too many of tbem are broken. It may be well to purpose to do; but it ia far better to do and to hold fast. Broken promises whether made to self or to others tend to lower character aod render one more fortile io pledges to do, because of the very ease of breaking them. - The New Year is a time with business men for casting up accounts. Tbey figure out lo'ees and gains for the year tbat is past, and upon the result lay plans for the year just begun. Here is serious work in whioh there can be no self- deception, oo false hopes and no false pledgeo! Business is made up of fact of worth, of energy, of will. It will stand no false estimates and will not delude itself with idle fancies "The king is dead; live the king " The year is dead; live the year. The old year is gooe; tbo new year ia oo. Aod so go on our lives, made up ot years, or many or lew, aa tne casemiy be, escn one bringing ua nearer io the shorea of that sea which is shoreless and that oountry in which time is not reokoned. With the saddening and subduing re. flections oome those of oheer and good feeeling, and we greet our friends with a "Happy New lear happy, it may prove, if past errors and follies are cor rented and eaoh one lives, with brave heart, in the light tbat is given him on Irom l liovf binary routine, Nevertheless, it is the completed book whose story impresses tbe reider for good or bad, not tbe cover or the frootispicoe of the new one. Nearly all the words of our language applying to a oourse not abso'utoly marked out describe the path tbat is left betiiod and not that whioh is boloro, says tbe Youth's Compauion, Thoro is no counterpart to tbe ship's wake" for the oourse whioh the prow is about to break, nor of the "track of the cyolone," nor of the spoor of the tiger, oor of "the trail" of Duaibcrlcss animals. It may be noted incidentally that many states and cities have recently passed laws or ordioances requiring au tomobiles to carry a number, io large fig ures, haogiog from the back. ' Nobody who sees an automobile coming cares what its number is. Only when it bap pens to leave some reoord behind io its track is the knowledge of its number im portant. It is doubtless beeause tbe future is swarming with possibilities, whereas the past constitutes a reoord which oanoot bo changed, that most of our festivities center about tbe anticipa tion of the new year rather than io a retrospective affection for the old. In the elder days of the world prophecy held a place of prominence among all peoples, but of history in the scientific sense there waa none. This has been reversed by the severely praotical modern world. History is at at a premium, prophecy at a discount. Yet the almost disregarded last day of December stands for tbe oompleted record, as New Year's does for tbe prophecy of what is to oome. A VERY CLOSE CALL. 'I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a lo- oomotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa. "I was weak and pale, without any ap Detite and all run down, As I was about to give up, I got a bottle of Electrio Bit tcrs, snd after taking it, I felt as well as I ever did io my life." Weak, sickly, ruo dowo people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed by W M.Coheo. Price 50 cents. TO-DAY.
