Seeking Easy Paths.
Baptist Commonwealth.
We are too much given in these
davs to the seeking of easy paths.
We do it at the beginning for our
children. I'.verjthing that would
seemingly test them or cause them
to endure aught of hardness is tat
out of their way. When we come
to their education we follow the
same plan. All their studies must
be made interesting ami almost
everything is sacrificed to that.
Anything saoring of study, of
work is ignored. The same system
follows into collegiate circles. We
hare been forming electiv t courses
guided by this principle. The
result that might be looked for lias
almost inevitably followed. The
easy path has for the most part
been taken that is the line of least
resistance. The same principle is
to be discerned in the reading of
the present lime. We read news
papers and magazines and light
fiction ad infinitum; we do not
however, grapple with that whieh
demauds thought. The process
has been carried on so long that in
the case of many the power of
thought is radically weakened.
Someone said in the writer's pres
ence the other day that it is ques
tionable whether nine-tenths of
those who read would be able to
master such a piece of work as Hut
ler's Analogy. The same inlluence
is to be seen in connection with
lecturers and sermons. Anything
demanding real thought is listened
to impatiently aud that which is
interesting is demanded. The
truth of the matter is we have been
and we seeking easy paths in our
methods of education and in the
area of reading and thought. We
have to a large extent been feeding
on pap and ladling it out w ith a
spoon, not giving much time to the
digestion of even that. It may be
popular, but it is needful to call
aitention to this which constitutes
a real weakness at the present time.
The easy thing is not the best
thing always, either of childhood
or manhood. It takes often times
that which is arduous, which de
mands strenuousness to produce
fibre, character. It will not be
amiss for us to think of this
How to Cure a Cold.
The question of how to cure a cold
without unnecessary loss of time is
one in w hich we are all more or less
interested, for the quicker a cold is
gotten rid of the less the danger of
pneumonia and other serious diseases
Mr. B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va,
has used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for years and says: "I firm
ly believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to be absolutely the best
preparation on the market for colds.
I have recommended it to my friends
and they all agree with me." For

She Quit Her Coffin.
Exchange.
Wheliug. W. Va., Sept. 28.
Balatives of Mrs Fred Hartsell,
wife of a farmer living near Ilnnt
iegton, were bemoaning her death
Oter her coffin a few minutes before
the minister 1 arrived to conduct
the last rites, when she suddenly
sat up, and, with a dazed look,
climbed out.
There was a rush of mourners
for the open air, windows being
used as exits. The mourners were
terror-ltricken and the minister
- Bwooned when a pale-faced woman
over whole remains he had leen
called to conduct services, met
him at the door.
Bryaa aaJTte Aera;e Jha.
Philadelphia Ledger.
William J. Bryan started his
winter campaign of discourses with
an address at Hichmohd en 'The
Average Man," in whieh the ex
pressed approval of the American
aveiage man as against all others
met in his recent travels.
A speculative philosopher is not
to be condemned to rigid cou
sisteucy. Yet it niay be fairly
asked, Why has Mr- Bryan never
politically appealed to the Ameri
can average man! No Bryau in
citement has ever been addressed
even to the average man of his own
party. Nowhere has the average
American's withes or welfare been
in the Bryan talk. He won a
nomination by the wildest riot of
appeal to an extreme class which
was then in high fever. Nothing
average r normal entered his view.
All productive effort by average
men he has drenched with the rot
ting acid of his agitatation. The
highest Bryan hope for ten years
has been the business devastation
in which the average man might
be excited to socialistic discontent
by the grinding of poverty against
the faces of family.
Mr. Bryan is not ethically a pesti
lcnce, because he lelieves more or
less in the truth and beneficence of
his teachings; but lie does not feel
responsibility for his words. That
much is evident from the easy con
sistency with which he discards
one theory for its opposite the
tariff for silver, silver for anti
imperialism, antiimperialisni for
the referendum, the referendum
for states, rights, and so on to the
end of changing political temp
tations. Of all men before the
fore the publico, Bryan is the last
to call himself the champion of the
average man. ' He has no care for
the average man, and the average
man does not vote for him. The
IJryan bait is always a picture of
destruction, conceived in socialistic
radicalism and paiuted in expec
tation of the time of upheaval.
Thomas A. Edison, the great Ainer
ican inventor, says "Fully eighty per
cent, of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over indulge themselves." This is
where indigestion finds it beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no
more, aud when you overload it or
when you eat the wroug kind of
food the digestive organs, cannot
do the work demanded of them.
It is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help, and
warns you by headaches, belching,
sour stomach, nausea and indiges
tion. You should attend to this at
once by taking something that will
actually do the work for the stomach
Kodol will do this. It is a combina
tion of nat ural digestants and veget
able acids and contains the same
juices found, in a healthy stomach
It is pleasant to take. It digists
what you eat. Sold by J. E. Shell,

The Remarkable Mr. Rooserveit.
Norfolk Landmark.
What a remarkable man Mr.
Roosevelt is! He is interested in
more things, by many times, than
anybody w ho ever before sat in
the presidential chair, or than
anybody, perhaps, who has held a
position of similar public respon
sibility in any part of the world.
This is one of the traits that give
him his strong hold upon the peo
ple, liecause it makes him a con
stant source of interest to them.
Custom does not stale his infinite
variety. A.n instance in point is
found in a dispatch from Delta,
La., dated last Friday, to the ef
fect that the President, "buried in
the jungles" on his hunting trip,
had sent a special messenger to the
earest town to get news of the
progress of the baseball contests
between the Chicago and Detroit
teams. The dispathch said that
the sympathy of Mr. Roosevelt and
his party was with the Detroit
nine, because it seemed to be "the
underdog" in the fight. There
must have been mourning in camp
when the Sunday papers got there
with the report of Chicago's fourth
and decisive victory.

J. 1). Bryan was iu town last
week and had with him a very
ged tool, the bowl of a common
dirt shovel, that he bought of
David Lookabill 50 years ago, he
having purchased the same at the
sale of James Cavis, grandfather of
H. A. Davis The shovel is a very
crude, hand made affair, and was
brought from Germany. Mr. Bryan
seems to prize the aged relic very
much. Wautauga Democrat.
