Hiu, PrescriptionDrugBJ BETTER WRITE HOME Feb. 20 1906 Dear Sir: Will you kindly send me a copy of your paper. 1 will send postage, stamps being handy, My son, a young! man of twenty-three, stated in his last letter, of Feb. 9th that he would be home as soon as possible; and that he had everything burned in a hotel fire at - Elgin. I thought something might have happened to him between Elgin and La Grand or between La Grande and ' Huntington. ' He could easily come home after reaching the 0. S. L. R R. as his father is a locomo tive engineer on the 0. S. L. He was light compteoted and twenty three years old. J am very anxious to hear from him and would cheerfully pay for information concerning him. The papers in these parts have no newa from that country. There would be nothing with which . to identify him as all his clothing was burned in the hotel with the exception of some working clothes in a grip at the depot which he would have on. F. 0.

POSITIVE EVIDENCE The famed Bishop Wilmer of Louisiana was renowned for his witty rejoinders. On one occasion a Baptist minister insist ed that there were several places in the Bible where immersion was unquestion ably referred to. "Yes," . replied the Bishop, "I recall two such instances, where there can be no floubt as to the mode: one is where Pharaoh and his host were immersed in-the sea, and the other where the Gadarena pigs were drowned in the deep." , , 1 . .. A MODERN MIRACLE . "Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes J. 0. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn, "she was. so wasted by coughing up pus from her lungs. Doctors declared her end so near that her family had watched by her bed-side forty-eight hours;, when, at my urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery was given her,, and with the astonishing result that improvement began, and con tinued until she finally completely recoy ared, and js ft healthy woman today.1 0 and $I QQ at mbwliu onus eq.

A German artisan, Hohlfield, designed one in that year.

STRArfniUuMIS Drink won't drown trouble, it only fat tens It. ' Credit is a false friend, who only stays with you until you are in trouble. It is ., to hnw much smoking and drinking other people should do. Wise men are not always silent, they simply know when to be. r There is no greater liar than he who lies to himself. Pleasure always eludes him who makes a business of seeking her. , Many people are so busy living, they do not pause to see what life really is. He who is too busy to consider his faults, will never take time to mend them. There are people who accumulate vast stores of gloom and then mistake it for sanctity. Bad habits increase in strength faster than age, which decreases our strength to resist them. ; No reward of greatness can be so sweet as the blessings of the greatful.
