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.

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
