There aw but a few such men. and when they Uave pass! way this country will possibly never fcave any more like them. They were the creatures of remarkable conditions. But It U not believed that sucfc con ditions vlU ever exist again. Men of brains, talent and education, of the purest sentiments, originally right on everything, through political disap pointments or disappointed tn the management of the government lost their .temper, and through an Irritable manner of looking at things and dis cussing conditions, became branded as fanatics or agitators. They were even classed as anarchists in tbe heat of political campaigns. The Altgeld class was a middle ground production. It was not of the Ffeifer and Simpson and Weaver . stripe but of a broader calibre. It was produced in a different school. The former was a mixture of demagoguery, passion and ignorance, the Altgeld class la composed of disappointed In telligence, honesty and ambition. Hav ing had positive proof of dishonesty on the part of a few In high stations in life it came tosuspect a majority of those In power. , It came to that point by continuous development In magnifying the bad and , minimizing the good. At first this theory was confined to politics and then It grew ; until evil was found everywhere. The good was so small that it was opprss ed by mountains of evil upon every hand, and in an effort to rescue it the men composing this class become fran tic That their manner should beget opposition, and often ridicule, is not strange. That they should be misjudg ed is natural. And this only added fuel to the flame. It strengthened their belief in their theory that every thing and everybody is growing worse. Without sympathy, except among the few of their own class, the world be came to them a failure. They saw no hope in the future. Like the starving poet in a St of desperation, they woild exclaim: , "My torch la out, and the world stands before me like attack desert at the approach Of night; Ml lay me down and stray no farther on!" But their last struggle In the public arena is for humanity. Honest to the core.sentimental as a woman, the cries of dl3triss came to them like the i thunder's peal. Arrived at the point of believing that the world and the gov ernment are run for gain, they think that it has cost a great sacrifice, and charge all manner of misfortune and misery and oppression to corruption. After losing all hope of reforming the politics of the country they devote the remainier of their public life to the cause of humanity. Almost with his dying breath Altgeld plead for assist ance for the unfortunate Boer women and children. Before a great audience he poured out his eloquence possibly as never before. Perhaps he read in the eyes before him more sympathy than h had found for many days. He may have come to believe that the world was not so bad after all. ; It is hoped that he did. Altgeld deserved a 'painless death. Peace, to his as,hes! THE HARDEST PLACE. Anyfbody who rides a wheel knows the hardest place in the road that a iblc.vcle can possibly encounter. It Isn't the hill, no matter how long, or the steep descent, or Uhe narrow side patch, or the sharp curve. To ride all these has elements of adventure and achievement. The bicyclist goes out of his way, sometimes, to try them, and exults In victory over them. No, the hardest place Is the long dusty, sandy stretch, where the wheel sinks deep, and the wheelman, unless be has even more sand in him than the road has, gets oft In short order. There is no adventure in riding a sandy stretch it 1b Just dull, straining hard labor. And he man who can ride on through It, and keep hit seat, and keep the wheel going, Is ft better rider than many a victorious hill climber. As In bicycle riding, so In life. Young people don't mind climbing the hill Difficulty there Is extilliaration and conquest In It. They can find courage for the sharp curves of opportunity, and the narrow track of an absorb ing task or problem. But the dusty stretch of dally routine there is dan ger to most of them. The lad who could lead a forlorn hope for one brief glorious moment fails ignomlnlously when he finds himself In the midst of unromantlc drudgery. It really takes more nerve, more fire, more will pow er, to conquer a stretch of clogging, uninteresting drudgery than it ' does to conquer any other obstacle that fate orJalna. The youth who despises the stupidity, the monotony of his lot in life Is actually tn a place where his spirit should rise to its highest pitch of endeavor. He is meeting the hard est test the road of life offers. If It dismounts and conquers htm, shall he blame the test or his own powers of success? WILLIAM RITTENHOUSK. Have "eyes bigger than their stomachs," armrrlimy tn sn nil? ftflvincr Thi-v rim. eat themselves, and are tempted by all sorts ot injurious and indigestible edi bles. As a consequence the foundation of serious stomach trouble is often laid jn childhood. For children with "weak" digestion or whose stomachs are diseased. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may be confidently recommended. It cures diseases of the stomach and othetorgans of digestion and nutrition, so that the nourishment contained in food is per fectly assimilated and the puny child is built up by food into a condition of robust health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains neither alcohol nor narcotics. Accept no substitute for " Golden Med ical Discovery." There is nothing "just as good " for diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Mrs. Ella Gardner, of Wstrrrirw, Middlesex Co., Vs.. writes : My little daughter is enjoying splendid health, t am glad I found a doctor who could cure mr child, Whenever she feels badly I give her br. Pierce's (iolden Medical Discovery and she is soon sll right She took twelve bottle of the Golden Medical Discov ery.' eight bottles of ' Pellets,' and one bottle of of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and she is welt We thank God for your medicine Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, in paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only.

"After using a few bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per fect and permanent relief from a se- :vere and chronic case of stomach trou :b!e," says J. R. Holly, real estate insurance and loan agent, of 'Macomb, 111. "Before using Ko- Idal Dyspepsia Cure she could not jeat an ordinary meal without intense suffering, sue is now entirety cured. Several physicians and many reme don't have to diet. Eat any good food you want, but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will always digest it for you.
