W. C. T. U. Meeting.
The W. C. T. U. meets at the home
! of Mrs. Charles Felt, at the usual hour,
j on Friday afternoon. There will be a
! discussion on some of the needs of the
I day. Come and take part. All are
1 welcome.
At the last meeting these thoughts
were the subject of discussion:
"Don't have a thing in the house too good for
your boy to enjoy and share with you, and don't
make him use the back stairs in order to save the
front hall carpet. If, as may be the case, God
has only loaned you this boy for a brief while,
you may realize when too late, that he was
vastly more precious to you than all else you
possess."
The discussion on this thought brought out the
following opinions: That while our homes are
to be enjoyed by our boys as well as ourselves,
might we not be in danger of overdoing and
allow them to acquire habits of destructiveness
and selfishness and make them exacting of their
mothers and sisters, and, perhaps, of their
wives in the future. Would not the best way be
to teach them to use and enjoy but not abuse: will
they not be more likely to get the greatest good
out of the nice things in their homes if they are
taught to help take care of tliem and keep them
nice.
Another thought was: "Don't let your boy
lead an aimless life. Teach him to he somebody
and do something for himself from little boy
hood to manhood. Your bank account is no
guarantee for a boy's soul, and if you have a
large account that will be 110 excuse in the eyes
of the Lord for you to train your boy to idleness.
Tench him the value of money by making him
earn at least a good portion of all he has during
boyhood."
This thought brought out a long discussion as
to what boys can do. Ought fathers to arouse
themselves and find or furnish suitable occupa
tion Would it not need judgment as to how
much ought to be put upon a boy ? How much
money ought a boy be allowed to use'.' Ought
not parents look to the use boys put their money
and teach them to use but not to waste? Will
not a keen observer see that we are a wasteful
people, and will not a thoughtful person see that
the boy who is allowed to use as Ireely and un
wisely as boys do now, will have to start in at
manhood with things very much against him?
His wants and tastes so vitiated that he will
either be discouraged in trying to acquire
enough to meet the demands of life, or he will
resort to dishonest methods to acquire.
Are we not taught very strong in the great
percentage of young men who have been re
jected by the examining surgeons for the army
on account of inabilities from use of cigarettes?
If boys were not allowed so much money for
such things; and then the pernicious reading
they buy, the immense amount of trash to eat
and driiik they certainly do not need.
The last questions to be asked are, fathers and
mothers what will you do about these things?
God has given these boys to yon, in what shape
are you giving them back to God? Just as surely
as they were given to you; just as surely they are
to be given baek,and just as plainly as God called
Adam to account for the sins of bis family, He
will call every one of us; and don't forged Shat
He called Adam to account lirst.
Burglary.
The mid-night mechanics have
commenced their campaigns again.
Last night the store of A. F. Vogt
& Co., was again entered by
burglars and thirty-two pairs of
the finest shoes stolen. Mr. Vogt
had connected his store with his
residence by electric wires and the
fact that the wires were carefully
avoided is evidence that the burg
lars are home talent.
(ione to the Hospital.
Mrs. F. F. Pepper went to Buf
falo last Saturday to undergo an

cer and a tumor. Ilor physician,

meeting of the Liars Club when the

resolved that no more deer hunting
lies could be tolerated and no raft
runs to Chesepeake Bay on dry land in
ono day, so Pap Berfield was practi
cally rilled out and made to realize
that he had outlived his usefulness as
a member. The climax was reached
however when it was announced that
the same old yarns would not be al
lowed on more than six consecutive
occasions, then Joe M. sadly arose,
heaved an ominons sigh, and, as he
plugged Belden's ear with a cigar
stump and fell over the spittoon, slowly
walked out murmering softly to him
self: "So that dear old fib must be
suppressed; my only stock in trade
gone up—well I don't care they can't
beat it." John Logue and 'Squire
Blodget were very much gratified that

means of a "tracking snow." After

How to Look Oood.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered,
you nave a dyspeptic) look; if your kid
neys are affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and you will
surely have good looks. " Electric Bit
ters" is a good Alterative and Tonic.
Acts directiy on the stomach, ltver and
kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pim
ples, blotches and boils, and gives a
good complexion. Every bottle guar
anteed. Sold at L. Taggart's Drug
I Store. 50 «nts per bottle.
The good looking editor of the
Marionville Express, who is authority
on such matters, says " when a young
lady pins a bouquet on the lapel of a
young man's coat she usually turns her
head to one side and tilts up her chin
to look at it. The young man who
doesn't tumble is so slow that he would
be run over by a hearse."

Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va., and
oneof the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says:"l have not sufficient command
of language to convey any idea of
what I suffered, my physicians told me
that nothing could be done for me; and
myfriends were fully convinced that
nothing but death would relieve me of
my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.
Evans, then salesman for the Wheeling
Drug Co., recommended Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. At this time my foot and
limb were swollen to more than double
their normal size and it seemed to me
my leg would burst, but soon after I
began using the Pain Balm, the swell
ing began to decrease, the pain to
leave, and now I consider that I am
entirely cured." For sale by L. Tag
