L. E. HULL,
THE WHITE JIATHERN APRON.
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE
WHITE LKATHERN APRON IS NOT
SOILED, AND HAS NO MARKS OF
A COURSE NATURE UPON IT
THAT DEFILE ND DEBASE.
John Henry Wiseman was a
Freemason of whom many said :
"He's such a peculiar fellow. His
lite is so blank. He is absolutely
devoid of culor. There is nothing
suriliiig in his way of living.
I here's nothing more to his life
than an 0 with the circle rubbed
out.
One day John Henry Wiseman
died, and the statement was made:
He didn't owe a cent to any hu
man being when he died." His
whiie Masonic apron was not mar
red by a single debt. As far as
that went he left it as white as the
day it was handed to him,
When he died it was said that he
didn't owe any man a single grudge,
thai he left this world free from any
ill-feeling against a human being,
and iliat it was remarked that on
one could recall that he ever was
in trouble wiih man, woman or
child. His life had been blank.
very blank, and his white apron
had no stain of passion or ill-will
upon it.
When he died people said that
he didn't owe any person an apol
ogy, for he had treated his friends,
neighbors and acquaintances with
uniform courtesy and never in
fringed on their rights.
When he died the public voice
reported that he didn't owe the
State a single penny, but had paid
all that the law demanded of him
for the protection he had received
for his life and property. His white
apron was free from stain of shirk
ing from his duty to the govern
ment that had guarded and pro
tected him.
When he died the papers stated
that he was not in debt to society
for any favors that he hadn't paid
for. He maintained a manly, hon
est, straighiforward course, and
had not involved the public in the
expense of lawsuits and trials oc
casioned by unlawful and criminal
practices. He had been decent
and respectable and no charge of
immorality was ever recorded on
his white leathern apron.
When he died the universal ver
dict was that he had paid in full all
that he owed to his brother-man,
that he had helped the poor, nursed
the sick, fed the hungry, cheered
the disheartened and made the
pathway of life less difficult for
those whose feet were tired. His
apron was free from any stains of
neglect of the suffering.
When he died the preacher said
that he had paid as far as it was
possible for a human being to pay
the debt he owed to God, by lead
ing a clean, hopeful, trusting life,
and that he had left the world with
the rich promises of God laying
before him a bright pathway to
glory.
His life was "colorless" like
the sweet air of the fields. His
life was "blank," like the sheet of
snow on the mountainside, He
was peculiar like the people God
speaks about in the Holy Book as
"Peculiar people, zealous of good
works,"
Constant complaints never get
piiy.

Every druggist in town your druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a
prominent local druggist.
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead 1
Dodson's Liver Tone it personally
guarftntaed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs but a
few cents, and if it fails to give easy
rtlief in every case of liver sluggish
oess and constipation, you have only
to uk for your money bark.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.

BEST PLACE OF ALL.
When I feel bad and things are wrong with me,
Then Grandma's lap is the best place to be,
There's a place on her arm jes' fits my head,
And her lap's cushiony, jes' like a bed.
Sometimes she covers my foots with her dress,
Her lap's the best place in the world, I guess.
When my nightclothes are on and my prayers said,
And my ma says, "Now son run up to bed,"
An' I'm a-standin' 'roun' a-bein' slow,
Jes' cause I'm all time a-dreadin' it so,
My Grandma gives her knee a little tap,
An' I slip over and and get in her lap.
Then Ma looks real hard at me, an' Grandma,
An' then she turns aroun' an looks at Pa;
But Pa he jes' smiles and says,
"Let him be, it used to be the same way with me."
Then my head finds that place on Grandma's arm.
An' she tucks me in good all snug and warm,
An' she sings to me then, so soft an' low,
The songs she sung, way long time ago,
Then she tells tales 'bout when she was a girl,
1 know her lap's the best place in the world.
SLIP OF THE TONGUNE.
THIS WONDERFUL SIN-CUSSED
COUNTRY OF CALIFORNIA.
Last winter, writes a contributor,
there occurred in southern Califor
nia a very amusing case of lapsus
linguae.
At the Sunday morning service
of a large down town church
he pastor recognized among his
congregation a well-known writer
for the denominational weekly who
had recently arrived from the Hasi.
At the close of the service the pas
tor mentioned the presence of this
brother and invited him to come
forward and say a few words of
greeting. This the writer was
pleased to do, and he began to re
late the thrilling tale of blizzards,
zero weather and snow that he had
encouniered on his trip.
Reaching a climax, he said,
"Only those who come, like my
self, from the bitter cold of mid
winter in the East, through the
awful storms of the Middle West,
can really appreciate what a great
privilege it is to be in this wonder
ful sin-cussed country of California!"
iNot until the phrase was com
pleted did he notice his shocking
error, and then, red-faced and
stammering, he repealed the last
sentence, substituting the well
known word, "sun-kissed."
THE MISSINQ LINK.
THE LOVE OF COD,
God's boundless Love and arching sky
Above us when we wake or sleep,
Above us when we smile or weep,
Above us when we live or die.
God's tireless Love! Beside the cot
Of her sick child the mother sleeps.
The Heavenly Father ever keeps
Unweary watch He slumbers not.
God's patient Love. Misunderstood
By hearts that suffer in the night.
Doubled yet waiting till Heaven's light
Shall know all things work for good.
God's mighty Loye ! On Calvary's height,
Suffering to save us Trom our sin,
To bring the Heavenly Kingdom in,
And fill our lives with joy and light,
God's changeless Love ! The wandering one,
Forsakes, forgets, dishonors; yet,
Repenting, going home, is met
With no reproach "Welcome, my son!"
God's endless Love! What will it be
When earthly shadows flee away,
For all Eternity's bright day
The unfolding of that Love to see!

Mrs. Edward Kaifanider.Wabagli.lnd.,

berlain's Tablets. She suffered from
distress after eating and constipation
and was completely cured by the use of
these tablets.
Why is love like a canal boat?
Because it is an internal transport.

NECESSITIES Op LIFE.
Opinions as to the "necessities
of life" are wont to differ. Atten
tion has been called to the fact that
our forefathers lived "without su
gar till the thirteenth century, with
out coal till the fourteenth, without
butier on their bread till the Hf-
teeth, without tobacco and potatoes
till the sixteenth, without tea, coffee
and soup till the seventeenth, with
out umbrellas and lamps till the
eighteenth, and without trains, tel
ephones, gas and matches till the
nineteenth."

LOOKS THAT WAY.
Who won the war?" asked
the bright young goof behind the

"Huh," ejaculated the ex-ser

tax, "1 think we bought it."
CORRECT.
What are the two principal func
tions of United States mnnry?
asked the teaeher.

the bright young person.
A PROTEST.
"Backward, turn backward, oh,
time in thy flight," warbled Hor

"Stop it!" cried her father.

us? Don't you remember it's only
