I bequeath to my children Scrofula with all its attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a strange legacy to leave to posterity ; a heavy burden to place upon the shoulders of the young. This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders the growth and development of the faculties, and the child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage, is poorly equipped for life's duties. Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied Sj'mptoms ; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak ej-es and dreadful skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. and stealthy disease entrenches itself the bones and tissues, destros the red white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and a gradual wasting away of the body. S. S. S. combines both purging lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body.

The most notable Is the pre dominance of the young men. But there fa an abundance of good tal ent, sense and experience. It is made up more largely of men of one politl cal faith than any which has assem bled since the war.

Some folks may recall the fact that a few years ago a collection of rather amusing stanzas of doggerel went the rounds of the press on kissing. These stanzas purported to give briefly, if not poetically, the manner In which the fair damsels of various cities go throusrh an osculatory per formance, and they were interesting, at least to those of the male persua sion. Recently a Peoria (Ills.) "poet" has constructed some doggerel aloDg similar lines which are decidedly cute. Here they are: "The PEORIA girl says never a word, And you'd think she was rather tame With her practical view of the matter in hand, But she gets there just the same. "The ABINGDON girl the pride of the State, In her clinging and cheerful way. Absorbs it all with a yearning look As sweet as the new-mown hay. "The EL.GIN girl gets a grip on her self As she carefully takes off her hat, And grabs 'em up in a frightened way, Tiike a terrier shaking a rat. "The CHICAGO girl on tiptoe stands, Her lips so rosy, tempting and red; You take her cheeks in both your hands And let her go M urphy Gallagher's dead. "The KANKAKEE girl catches a man's mustache With a grip as tight as glue; And opening a little her ruby lips, Pulls the kiss on like a shoe." AVlth due apologies to the Peoria poet, I would like to add the sub joined doggerel to his outburst: The CONCORD girl wastes no time on frills. Nor does she stickle for style, She grabs her admirer around the neck And the "smack" can be heard a mile. The CHARLOTTE girl, in her sweet, trustful way, Takes 'em slow, as her soft lips quiver, A soft light in her eye, and a prayer aud sigh "That this rapture could last for ever!" The II A HEIGH girl takes careful aim For fear the mark she'll miss, Then throws back her head, shuts her eyes And gurgles "Oh joy! Oh, bliss!" The WILMINGTON girl is the girl for me, It's achance o'er which she'll gloat; She gathers her skirts, with a cry of glee, And jumps rlghtdowu your throat. THE MAN.

Mrs. J. A. Moore, North Star, Mich, All Druegist, Greatest Thing in the World. The love of a man for a maid has been sung in song and extolled in story from time immemorial; the de votion of a mother for a child has been held by novelists and dramatists to be "Th. Greatest Thing in the World," but it remained for a recent American writer to pi.iat out the greatest of all love the love thaten dureth forever, viz: the love of a father for h?s daughter. The writer In question, H. T. Peck, says tills, in his contrlbutioa to the February Cosmopolitan: "The love of a farther for his daugh ter is, I think, the very purest love that earth can know, the love that conies the nearest to what we all imagine the divine love to be. The love of a husband for his wife wh n it enduivs the storm and stress which mark the period of mutual adaptation, is wonderfully beautiful; yet It had its birth in passion, and the memories of its early years re main to keep it very human The love that is given to a father or mother is strong and deep and last ing; yet it lacks the exaltation and supreme emotion which are neces sary to the love that has no flow. The love of a father for his son is in tense and overmastering; yet there is a touch of personal pride, of al most conscious egoism, in it, which renders it not wholly selfless and serene. But the love of a father for the girl child who has been born to him Is more than any other love on earth, in its purity, its unalterable constancy, its power of self-sacrifice, its profound delight, and its Infinite tenderness." And the father, who can gaze fondly upon the baby girl nesting In his arms, or hear the patter of the tiny feet and the exultant cry of de light as she toddles forward to the door to welcome "daddy" home, will exclaim, with Lord Byron, "He calls this love, and It is, love." ! You Will Be Happy if Well. Paine's Celery Compound Bestows that Health and Vigor that Makes Liv ing a Pleasure. If you are sick and out-of-sorts, it is in your power to make yourself healthy, strong, and happy. There is not the slightest reason why you should go through life feeling sickly, miserable, languid, and melancholic. To be well and strong, means happiness and true joy. If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgic, dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease hovering over you; if you are not as bright, energetic, and strong as you were some weeks ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous ands once in a half-dead condition owe their present good health to the use of Paine's Celery Compound. Mr. Wm. S. Gibson, of Pleasureville, Ky., who, through sickness and suffering, was brought near the dark grave, writes as follows, regarding his marvelous cure : " I have been broken down in health and strength, nervous system shattered, kidneys out of order, had nervous and trembling spells off and on for the last ten years. I have taken three bottles of your Paine's Celery Compound and all of the above-mentioned troubles have left me, and I can now do a good day's work. I go about my business all day long and it don't worry me, and I now feel better than I have in ten years. I have a good appetite, and can eat and get around on foot as active as when I was a boy. .
