THE MERCHANT’S DREAM j. Last evening I was talking With a merchant, old and gray, ]( Who told me of a dream he had. i ’Twas just the other day, While standing in his office, The vision came to view, For he saw an angel enter Dressed in garments white and new, Said the angel, “I’m from heaven, The Lord just sent me down To bring you up to glory And put on your golden crown. You've been a friend to everyone And worked hard night and day, Yoo have supported many And from few received your pay And we want you to be up in glory Where you desire to be. So place your trusting hand in mine And come along with me.” Then the angel and the merchant Started up to glory’s gate, But when passing close to Hades, The angel murmured “Wait!” I have a place to show you l It's the hottest place in h—1 Where the ones that never paid you Do in torment always dwell.” ( And, behold, the merchant saw them, His old patrons by the score, t And grabbing up a chair and fan, He wished for nothing more, But was bound to sit and watch , , them As they’d sizzle, singe and burn. And his eyes would rest on debtors Whichever way he’d turn. Said the angel, “Come on, mer chant, There’s the pearly gate to see!” But the merchant only murmured, “This is heaven enough for me.” What counts in a man or in a nation is not what the man or the nation can do, but what he or it actually does. Scholarship that consists in mere learning, but finds no expression in production, just as ability to shoot well at clay pig- j eons, may be of interest and val- i ue to him, but it ranks no higher unless it finds expression in achieve ment. From the standpoint of the nation, and from the broader stand point of mankind, scholarship is of worth chiefly when it is pro ductive, when the scholar not merely receives or acquires but gives_Theodore Roosevelt.

Let everybody be a booster for he fair. T/lio larges and best display of xhibit.r. Looke them over. Limit The Intake Let’s talk awhile about absorp tion. It acts invisibly and also in dependently of our will. It is the one process of nature that never ceases unless, mayhap, there is nothing to absorb. It is our friend, until we over-crowd it, in which instance it becomes an unrelenting enemy. Our absorbing glands and channels know no taste—no dis crimination. They take up strych nine or other deadly poison with the same avidity with which they welcome taffy or gruel. Absorp tion takes no cognizance of results. It goes on after we are dead! Thu safe-guard against absorp tion is not to overburden it. Heavy meals are dangerous. Many people complain of being over-fat. The trouble is, that they are crowding their absorbents. Large quantities of fluids are taken with meals, ren. Bering absorption quicker and fas ter than it should go on. It is possible to reduce flesh by taking no fluid of any kind with meals. No amount of physical contortion called “Physical Culture” can dis place over-supply of readily ab sorbable food. It is wrong to tax the sweat-glands with work that the more gross eliminants should do. The man or woman who ex pects to sweat out “three squares a day” will be disappointed. Nei ther can their billow, be removed by massage. Limit the intake am get. plenty of walking exercise— I.Lewjs Cigar Mfc.

Food m the average alimentary canal un dergoes fermentation, and • \'en in some ease's decomposition! The longer it remains there, the more advanced the process. What, can be worse for mental torpor than th absorption of such poisonous mat ter? Tom Tarheel says he is select big his material to exhibit at the fair this fall.
