THE MAN WITH A DRILL.
"The Man with a Hoe," "The Man
with an Axe," "The Woman with a
Broom," and "The Man with a Drill"
Are all themes Hint attract the attention
of thinking people. And this is true
the world over. Uod pity them all; for
they have a time of it aw they labor
and pweat for their dutly broad. But
more to be pitied are they who look not
up to honest labor; for honest labor is
tho jewel every good workman be
queaths to the world as his handiwork.

A Sadden Twinge
Of pain is generally the first warning of
an attack of rheumatism. It feels as if
the disease were in the bones or muscles,
but the real cause of rheumatism is
found in impure blood. In order to cure
rheumatism the blood must be cleansed
of the poisonous impurities which are
the cause of the disease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has been very successful in the cure of
rneumausm, o e -cause
it entirely1
cleanses the blood
from the poison
ous substances
which are the
cause of the dis
ease. It not only
Eurifies the blood
ut by increasing
the activity of the
blood-making
glands, it increases
the supply of pure,
rich blood which
adds to the vigor
of every1 physical
organ.
Mr. R. A.McKnlght,
of Cadea. Williams
burg Co., 8. C. write :
I And been troubled
with rheumatism for
twelve vears. so bad
at times I cmikl not leave my bed. I was badly
crippled. Tried many doctora and two of them
gave me up to die. None of them did me much
good. Tlie paina In my back, hips and legs
(and at tinu-A in my head), would nearly kill
me. My appetite was very lad. Everybody
who Raw me said I must die. I took five bottles
of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and four
viala of ' Pellet,' and to-day my health is good
alter suffering twelve years with rheumatism."
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make tlie little
more profit paid by the sale of less
meritorious medicines. He gains ; you
lose. Therefore accept no substitute for
"Golden Medical Discovery."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse
the bowels and stimulate the sluggish
liver.
thereby secure a large sura of mon
ey and a peculiar kind of glory,
which would place him beyond the
reach of honest labor during the re
mainder of his life! What an ad
mirable, low-down brute the prize
fighter is! What a paradox!
Keep History Straight.
Of course we need better schools
Everyone Baytno and "What everyone
suys must be true."
A district which is financially able to
employ the very best of teachers may
have a school that defies criticism, and
yet be far from perfect. The one grave
fault lies in our text-books or, to be
more explicit, lies in the. lies in our
text-books. -For instance:
Pupils in American schools are
taught that old Ethan Allen demanded
the Uritish commandor'g surrmidur,"In
the uameof the Great Jehovah and tho
Continental Congress." True, these
time-worn words have a .patriotic ring,
but to tho average tulnd they are quite
unnatural, and it is not surprising that
a bit of careful historical research re
veals their fictitious character. It is
now known that brave and blunt old
HiliHii simply said to tho British com-
ntauder:
"Come out of there, youd dold ratt"
How truly American is the new aud
correct version, uud how easily compro'
bended by the rising generation! Hun
dreds of proper changes such us this
might be made in American history.
and they would furuish spico for many
a dull page.
There is no doubt about it. We need
hotter schools.
