Patronize Your Home Merchants. The following from an exchange is worth thinking about: "Who sympathized with you wheu your liltlo girl was sick the other day? Was it your home merchant or was it Sears, Roebuck & Co.? When you were raising money to buy a site for a new industry for your town, who contributed the most generously to the enterprise John Wanamaker or your home merchant? Who carried you last winter when you were out of a job and .had no money? Was it Montgomery, Ward & Co., or was it your home merchant? When you want to raise money for the church or some needy person, do you write to the "Fair" store in Chicago or do you go to your home merchant? How much do Siegle, Cooper & Co., give toward keeping up the sidewalks of the town or paying the minister's salary? When you were sick how many nights did Hibbard, Spencer & Barret situp with you? When your loved one was buried was it Marshall, Field & Co., who dropped a tear of sympathy and uttered a cheering word, or was it your home merchant? Dreadful Attack of Whooping Cough. Mrs. Ellen Harlison.of iJOOPark Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as follo'ws : "Our two children had a severe attack of whooping cough, one of them in the paroxysm of coughing would often faint and bleed at the nose. We tried every thing we heard of without getting relief. We then called in our fam ily doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey and Tar. With the very first dose they begau to improve and we feel that it lias saved their lives." Refuse substitutes. All dealers. Egotism of Genius. A writer in the London Stand ard declares the idea that genius is usually modest to be a popular delusion. On the contrary, he al leges egotism to be the very es sence of true genius and quotes many amusing examples. When Wordsworth, Southey and Cole ridge were walking together Cole ridge remarked that the day was so line "it might have been order ed for three poets," the gentle Wordsworth promptly exclamed: "Three poets! Who are the other two?" Disraeli, then a mere youth, wrote to his sister that he had heard Macaulay, Sheil, and Grant speak, "but between ourselves I could floor them all." And again he said, "When I want to read a good book, I write one." It was President Grant who, being told that a certain senator, an admitted genius, who was very hostile to him, did not believe the Bible, expressed his estimate of the senator's egotism by rejoin ing: "Why should he? He didn't write it, you know." New York World. Chronic Bronchitis Cured. "For ten years I had chronic bronchitis so bad that at times I could not speak above a whisper," writes Mr. Joseph ColTman, of Montmorenci, Ind. "I tried all remedies available, but with no success. Fortunately my employ er suggested that I try Foley's Honey and Tar. Its effect was al most miraculous, and I am now cured of the disease. On my Rec ommendation many people have used Foley's Honey and Tar, and always with satisfaction." All dealers. In the palm of the hand there are L'500 pores to the square inch. If these pores were united end to' end they would measure 1 five miles. THE CHRISTIAN DRUMMER BOY. HY H. V. L. R. During the American war, I was surgeon in tho United States army, aud alter tho battle of Get tysburg there were manyhundred wounded soldiers in my hospital, among whom were twenty eight who had been wounded so severe ly that they required my services at once. Some whose legs had to be amputated; some their arms and others both log and arm. One of the latter was a boy who had been but three months in the ser vice, and being too young for a soldier had enlisted asadru m mer. When my assistant surgeon and one of my Stewarts wished to ad minister chloroform, previous to tho amputation, he turned his head aside and positively refused to receive it. When the Stewart told him it was the doctor's orders he said, "send tho doctor to me." When I came to his bed side, Isaid, "young man, why do you refuse chloroform? When I found you on the battlefield you were so far gone that I thought ithardly worth while to pick you up, but when you opened those large blue eyes I thought you had a mother some where, who might at that mom ent, be thinking of you. I did not want you to die on the field, so ordered you to be brought here; but you have lost so much blood that you are too weak to endure an operation without chloroform, therefore you had better lot me give you some. " He laid his hand on mine and looking me in the face, said: "Doctor, one Sunday afternoon in Sabbath school, when I was nine and a-half years old, I gave my heart to Christ. I learn ed to trust Him then. I have been trusting Him ever since, and I can trust. Him now. He is my strength and uiy stimulant. Ho will support me while you ampu tate my arm and leg." I then asked him if he would allow me to give him a little bran dy. Again he looked me in the face, saying, "Doctor, when I was about tive years old my mother knelt by my side, and said "Char ley, I am praying to Jesus that you may never know the taste of strong drink; your papa died a drunkard and went downtoadrunk at d's grave, aud I promised God, lhat if it was His will that you should grow up that you should warn young men agaiust the bit ter cup. I am now seventeen years old, but I have never tasted anything stronger than tea or cof fee, and as I am, in all probability about to go into the presence of my God would ou send me there with brandy on my stomach? Tho look that . boy gave me, I shall never forget. At that time I hated Jesus, but I respected that boy's loyalty to his Savior, and when I saw how he loved and trusted Him to the last, there was something that touched my heart and I did for that boy what I have never done for any other soldier I asked him if he wanted to see his chaplain. "Oh.yes, sir," was the answer. When Chaplain R came he at once knew the boy from having often met him at the tent prayer meetings, and taking his hand, said: "Well Charley, I am sorry to see you in this sad condition." "Oh, I am all right sir," he an swered. "The Doctor olTered me chloroform, but 1 declined it; then he wished to give me brandy, which I declined, and now, if my Savior calls me, I can go to him in my right mind." "You may not die, Charley," said tho Chaplain, "but if the Lord shonld call you away is there anything I can do for you after you are gone." "Chaplain please put your hand under my pillow and take my lit tle Bible; in it you will lind my mother's address; please send it to her and , write a letter and toll her since that day I left home I never let a day pass without read ing a portion of God's word, aud praying that God would bless my dear mother, no matter whether on the march, on the battlefield or in the hospital." "Is there anything else I can do for you my lad?" asked the Chaplain. "Yes, please write a letter to the Super intendent of the Sand's street Sunday school, Brooklyu, New York, aud tell him that the kind words, many prayers and good advice ho gave me I have never forgotten; they have followed me throughout all tho dangers of bat tle, and now, in my dying hour, I ask my loar Savior to bless my dear old Superintendent; that, is all. Turning toward me, he said: "Now Doctor, I am ready, and I promiso you that I will not even groan wh'le you take olT my arm and leg If you do not offer me chloroform." I promised, but had not tho courage to take tho knife in my hand to perform the operation without first going into tho next room and taking a little stimulant myself to perform my duty. While cutting through tho MeshCharley Coulson never groan ed; but when I took the saw to separate the bones the lad took tho corner of his pillow in his mouth, and all I could hear him utter was. "Oh Jesus, blessed Jesus,stand by mo now. " lie kept his promise and never groaned, lhat night I'could not sleep, for which ever way I turned I saw those soft blue eyes and when I closed mine the words "Blessed Jesus, stand by mo now" kept ringing in my ears. Between twelve aud one o'clock I left my room and visited the hospital, a thing I had never done before unless especially called, but such was my desire to see that boy. Upon my arrival there I was in formed by the night Stewart that sixteen of the hopeless cases had died, and had been carrn d down to the dead house. "How is Charlie Coalson, is he among the dead?" "No sir," answered the stewert, "he iis sleeping as sweet ly as a babe." Wheu I came up to the bed where ho lay, one of the nurses informed me that a bout 9 o'clock two members of the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation came through the hospital t read and sing hymns. They were accompanied by Chaplain R who knelt by Charley Coul son 's bed and offered up a fervent prayer after which they sang, and while still upon their knees, the sweetest of all hymns, "Jesus lover of my soul," in which Char ley joined. I could not under stand how that boy, who had un dergone such excruciating pain, could sing. Five days after Ihad amputated that dear boy's arm and leg he sent for me, and it was on that day I heard the first gospel ser mon. "Doctor," ho said, "my time has come, I do not expect to see another sun rise but, thank God, I am ready to go, and before I die I desire to thank you with all my heart for your kiudness to mo. Doctor, you are a Jew, you do not believe in Jesus; will you please stand here and see me die trusting my Savior to the last moment of my life?" I tried to stay but I could not, for J had not tho courage to stand by and see a christian boy die rejoicing in the love of Jesus who I had been taught to hate, so I hurriedly left the room. About twenty minutes later a steward, who found me in my private office covering my face with my hands, said: "Doctor,' Charley Coulson wishes to see you." "I have just seen him," I answered, "and cannot see him again." "But, Doctor, he says he must see you once more before lie dies." I now made uj) my mind to see him, say an endearing word and let him die; but I was determined that no word of his should influence me in the least, so far as his Jesus was concerned. When I entered the hospital I saw he was sinking fast, so I sat down by his bed. Asking me to take his hand he said: "Doctor, Hove you because you are a Jew; the best friend I have found in this world was a Jew." I asked him who that was. Ho answered, "Jesus Christ, to whom I want to iutroduce you before I die; aud will you promise me Doctor, that what I am about to say to you, you will uevor forget. " I prom ised, and he said: "Five days ago whilo you amputated my arm aud leg, I prayed to tho Lord Jesus Christ to convert your soul." These words went deep into my heart. I could not under stand how when I was causing him the most intense pain he could Jorget all about himself aud tlii i ilc of nothing but his Savior and my unconverted soul. All I could say to him was, "Well, my dear boy, you will soon be all right." With theso words I left him, and twelve minutes later, he fell aslf(p "Safe in tho arms of Jesus." Hundreds of soldiers died in my hospital during the war, but I only followed one to the grave, and that oue was Charlie Coulson the Drummer Boy, and I rode three miles to see him buried. I had him dressnd in a new uni form and placed in an officer's coffin with a United States flag over it. - - - That boy's dying words made a deep impression ujwn me. I was rich at that time so far as money was coucerned, but I would have given every penny I possessed if I could have felt to ward Christ as Charley did, but that feeling cannot be bought with money. Alas, I soon forgot all about my christian soldier's little sermon, but I could not for get tho boy himself. I now know that at thnt timo I was under deep. convict ion of sin but I fought agaiust Christ with all tho hatred of nu orthodox Jew for nearly ten years, until finjilly tho dear boy's prayer was answered and God converted my soul. About eighteen months after my conversion I attended a pray er meeting one evening in the city of Brooklyu. It'was one of these meetings when christians testify to the loving kindness of their Savior. After several of them had spokcu, an elderly lady arose and said : "Dear friends, this may be the last time that it is my privilege to testify .for Christ. My family physician told me yesterday that my right lung is very nearly gouo and my left one is very much affected, so at J,he best I have but a short time to be with you, but what is left of mo belougs to Jesus. Oh! it is a great joy to know that I shall meet my boy in Heaven. My sou was rot only a soldier for his country, but also a soldier for Christ He was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, aud fell into the hands of a Jewish doctor, who amputated his arm and leg, but he died five days after the operation. The Chaplain of the regiment wrote me a letter aud sent ine my boy's Bible. In that letter I was informed that my Charlie, in his dying hour, sent for the Jewish doctor and said to him, 'Doctor, before I die I wish to tell you that five days ago, while you amputated my arm and log, I prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ to convert your soul.' " When I heard this lady's testi mony, I could sit still no longer. I left my seat, crossed the room, aud taking her baud, said, "God bless you my dear sister, your boy's p layer has been heard and answered. I am the Jewish doc tor for whom Charlie prayed, and his Savior is now my Savior." Saved Many a Time. . Don't neglect coughs and colds even if it is spring.

Reports that the bills of Presi dent McKinley's physicians who attended him iu his fatal illness at Buffalo agregate 100,000, were emphatically denied last Tuesday by a promiuent member of Con gress who was also an intimate friend of the late President, and who has seen the schedule of all the bills. Instead of being if 100,000, he says, they aggregate about ."i0, 0;)0, and in this total is included not ouly the bills of the physicians but also those of the nurses, the telegraph compauies and the un dertaker. No opposition to the payment is apparent, and if there be serious objection it is said Senator Ilanna will pay tho bills out of his own pocket. Wants To Help Others.
