Sam Jones comes after some parents

A Newton Falls minister preached on
the following topic last Sunday: “Has a
Horse Thief a Better Chance of Enter-
ing Heaven Than a Moral Man?” How
the clergyman settled the question,
says the Youngstown Telegram, is not
reported. Whereas there is some doubt,
about the requirements demanded of a
candidate for Paradise, it can be most
emphatically asserted that there are
church members who will experience
more trouble in getting through the
pearly gates than will many a horse
thief from the gallows.
Coughs, Oolds end Constipation.
Few people realize when taking
cough medicines other than Foley's
Honey and’ Tar, that they contain
opiates which are constipating besides
being unsafe, particularly for children.
Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no
opiates, is safe and sure and will not
constipate. E. H. Miller.

Our unele, Mr. Mahlon P. Liehty, of
North Dakota, arrived here last week
and will visit friends in this locality for
some time. Although absent for
twenty-seven years, most of his old
friends recognize him at first sighi, and
it is needless to say that they are all
delighted to see him. Mr. Lichty is
looking first rate, and while he likes to
meet his old friends of the native heath
once more, he says he greatly prefers
the West to the East. He recently sold
a good farm in North Dakota and
bought a better one, and it gives us
pleasure to say he is doing nicely in the
new state aforesaid.
It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that croup
can be prevented. The first sign of
croup is‘hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a pe-
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of croup. In this

An exchange says this is the season
of the year when poverty becomes
especially pathetic. It is a season
when good cheer and the spirit of a
Merry Christmas should pervade every
home and possess every soul. To the
dweller, with the cheerful radius of a
glowing fire, the holly wreath in the
window is a thing of cheer; an emblem
of good feeling and good fellowship.
To the children shivering in the street
—Ilooking, envying, but not daring to
hope, that wreath, bright with its green
Jeaves and red berries, is but a pitiable
reminder of the bitter contrast, of the
poverty that bars the way. There can
be no brighter sunshine than that
which radiates from the face of abappy
child. The sky may be overcast on
Christmas day, but that will not matter
if everyone does what he can to fill the
world with the grateful sunshine of
poverly’s smile.

If there is anything meaner than the
mumps. it’s the grip. We had it in real
earnest last week, says the Waynesburg
Messenger, and have come to the con-
clusion that the genuine grip is a son-
of-a-gun. It seizes its -unsuspecting
victim and proceeds to shake the very
life out of him in short order. It gets
up a hot water establishment at the
junction of the eyes and the nose, and
rolls the coldest of cold icicles down his
spinal column at the same time. It
starts a sawmill in the top of his head,
and with a mighty blowpipe in each of
his ears, pounds the nerves of every
tooth in his swollen jaws with a trip
hammer, and while saw-logs are rolled
over his lower limbs, the muscles in hiz
arms are hammered with a pile driver.
If he tries to eat, a hydraulic ram starts
a sort of reverse motion of the
mechanism in the pit uf his stomach,
and his swallowing apparatus works
after the fashion of a mud-pump. If
he seeks relief in prayer, the devil
applies grappling irons to the small of
his back. and he can do nothing but
swear, and an unsatisfying amount of
that. Dern the gin

Dise Graphophones and Flat
Records.
Perfection in Disc Graphophores and
Flat Records was quickly achieved by
the Columbia Phonograph Company,
the pioneers and leaders in the talking
machine art, when it demonstrated the
wonderful possibilities of the flat in-
destructible records. Up to that time
nothing important had been accom-
plished. The machines were faulty
and the records were not in the same
class with the cylindrical records used
on the graphophone. A knowledge of
make disc records and the
proper material of which to make them
seemed to be entirely lacking. The
wide experience of the record depart-
ment of the Columbia Phonograph
Company enabled it to grasp the true
principles underlying the making of
disc records, and the first product was
a great deal better than anything that
had been accomplished by others.
With the lapse of time the improve?
ment that has come with practice has
placed the Columbia Disc Records far
in advdnce of all others. They are
characterized by smoothness, sweet-
ness, clearness and naturalness. And
while preserving all these desirable
qualities they are the loudest records
on the market.

The Disc Grapbophone is made in
three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c¢ each, $5 per

lecords were awarded the Grand Prize
at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
