, PATRIOTIC LESSON. ,
The children tn yesterday's G. X. R.
procereton was one of the best .'oaturo.
They presented a picture. Long lines
of bright-eyed girls and boys, march
ing to the strains of music, bearing
the Stars and Stripe, with a content
ed expression upon their face, anil an
independent step the sftowed that they
were proud of their country and tlietr
fla?! . . ,
The Ames-lean children are naturally
patriotic. They create the air of pa
triotism; they are taught it tn their
choo'e and In tlwir homes; they are
taught it 'in their dsily walks; they
nee ft everywhere. But with the dif
ferent theories of government arising
daily and different Ideas of politics
ranging from the most patriotic to the
most anarchistic, It Is well that they
should be taught patrlotlFm and ever
have Impressed upon them the import
ance of their flag and their govern
ment. ,
No better lesson could be taught
than he one yesterday. They were
called out to eee and march in line
with the men who only a few years
ago saved this country. When they
looked upon fhese rugged old veterans
and saw their scars and tottering steps
they were Interested; they were Im
pressed; they were taking a part In en
tertaining them; It put them upon In
quiry; it put them to thinking. They
aw the dismal picture of slavery
which always looks so vivid to the
free and young; they saw In their
mind's eye he country about ' to be
disrupted, and "then saw before them
the men who assisted in saving the
country and unloosing the chains of
tavery; marched in the same line wtthr
them, feeling all of the importance of
the occasion.
The lesson Impressed them with the
importance of their flag and reminded
them that they might some day be
called upon to protect it. It strength
ened them in their love for it and their
responsibility toward it. It prepared
them better to turn a deaf ear to the
oral ai9aults that are sometimes mad?
upon It by the unpatrkftlc. They will
be better enabled to withstand the
temptation of be:r" ' " fnm U.
Pare rets and teachers de?erve prilr
credit for encouraging the children to
turn out in full force. Showing made
by the children yesterday w.i- jnc that
the people ot Astoria do w;ll .j com
mend. The old ve'erana and their
companions spoke of Asitoria's children;
they made the moat favorable Impres
sion upon them of any feature of the
lay. When they return to their homes
lny will often speak well of the chll
Iren of Astoria. And if the chlhlsvn
f a given community win the ap
plause of the outride world it I gnod
'or the community. It is a good ad
vertisement. All honor to the children of Astoria
uid the pflVri,f' K!n taught them.
SMALL POLITICIANS.
It Is now reported that the mongrel
Tew will attempt to throw out one
r more of the election retur.is in or
ier to try to defeat Llnvtlle and Hell
horn. It was hoped that on the eve
-f the election that all strife would end
and that the contest would be dropped
nnd that matters would settle down
to their accustomed channels. The As
dorian volw-d the sentiment of the
majority of the county whn it udvo
.nted this course on the morning aft
r the election. Continued strife, and
especially politic -'"- "v.r does
any community or county any good.
An election contest awakeis more
bKter n!mo"" hr. The
people, irrespective of politics, do. not
like to have tf' ' of franchise
tampered with. Tnv-Tj man places
his hnllot in the liallot box he does
nut like to have It dug out -.n un erec
tion contest. The ba'!,: u-u.n.v' rep
resents, or ought to. the choice of the
voter and he doe. not like to lose tt on
account of some little technical Irreg
ularity. Cut there are some politicians
who do not care for right or principle
and would resurrect the bones of sieir
own dead In order to get some moasley
office or get some friend, In that they
might secure a small appointment.
It is the way of the world, but more
especially the way of some of the small
that inhabit :t. Satisfy a small politi
cian? No. it is Impowlhle' Defeat
him at the polls and he bobs up else
where. Give him victory and he Is
"till not satisfied. If he had the earth
he would not be sat'sflei. tt is dis
tention that he wants. It Is life to
him. Giv him an election and a
small packr.ge of "boodle" to "elec
tioneer" with and he Is the happiest
man in the world. Put Mm In office
end nine times out of ten he robs the
people. There is but one -safe place
for the small politician, and that la ff
on some lonely Island with men of Ms
stripe w1ie-e they can prey upon one

with on more technical points.

IT"
LOOKING BACH
To the (ime when she was plucked from
the very grasp of death, the natural im
pulse of the womanly heart is thankful
ness for the means which saved her,
ana a desire to help
other women in like
case. Those are the
motives which
prompted Mrs. Eva
Burnett to write the
accompanying testi
monial to the curative
power of Dr. Pierce s
Favorite Prescription.
This is only one cure
out of thousands. No
one would dare say
that the average
woman was not as
truthful as she ib
good. And it is the
truthful testimony of
the average woman
that "Favorite Pre
scription" cures
womanly diseases
when all other
means and medi
cines absolutely
fail. It estab
lishes recrularitv.
dries the drains which weaken women,
heals inflammation and" ulceration and
cures female weakness. It tranquilizes
the nerves, restores the appetite and
induces refreshing sleep.
I hare Intended for lomf time to writ to
yon," ay Mrs. Eva Burnett, of Rumwllville, Lo
gan Co.,Ky, "and give testimonial io regard to
what your medicine hat done for me. My baby
came in lulv, it.), and I had congeatlve chilli,
and lay at death's door for ten long week. 1
was in a dreadful condition and had six of the
beat doctor of the city. After everything had
been done and I had been given up to die I
asked mv husband to get me a bottle of Dr.
Fierce'! Favorite Prescription. He had no faith
in it. but he got it, and when I had taken it two
weeks I wa able to walk to the dining room
to my meals, and by the time I had taken three
bottles 1 was able to cook for my family of four.
I can never praise Dr. Pierce and his medicine
enough.1

The man who Maml on stilts W not inorvaV hi nUtuw parti
cle, lie may fovl tailor while he's on the stilts, but when he's wtt
them ho fools shorter than he ever felt. A man can't live on utilU ;
he must come off them sooner or later, ami ttion he realinos that
whatever scorning advantage he gained from his artificial elevation
was only temporary.
Stimulants are the stilts of the stomach. They lift a man np for
the time. Wing, but the gooil fooling they give is only temporary. A
man can't live on stimulants, and when ho loaves thorn he ftn-ls worse
titan ever. In this ago of hurry ami worry a large poroontage of the
population have some form of stomach "trouble," popularly tie
ecrihcii as "weak stomach." The first impulse of the average man
whose stomach is "weak" is to have recourse to stimulants. He
fools bloated after eating, has frequent eructations ami a general
fooling of physical discomfort. He takes a glass of something to
"stimulate his stomach " ami make him "feel good." lie may get
the desired result for a time, but he is doing nothing for the disease
which is in reality aggravated by stimulants instead of benefited.
The need of the "weak" stomach is stivngih, and it is obvious lhat
stimulants can't strengthen the stomach because there is tin true
strength in stimulants but only a false strength. The' jaded horse is
no stronger because he mends his pace when pricked by the spur.
His extra effort is a drain upon the reserve of his vitality, which may
result in a complete breakdown. Tho seeming strength of stimulant
is the false strength of a Itody spurred to effort and making a call on
the reserve of vitality, which may and does often result in total
physical collapse.
The success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in re-establishing
the health of weak, run-down, dyspeptic men and women is
due to the fact that it perfectly and permanently cures diseases of
the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It doc
not brace up but builds up the lody. It contains no alcohol mid u
entirely free from opium, cocaine and other narcotics,
"Last spring, early, T wrote you my feelings and condition, " says Mr. A. J.
Vanilerwatcr, of 8;j West Pivisiou Street, Chicago, Ills., "and ou advised me
to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diseoverv. in all 1 have taken six lxttle
of the 'Discovery' and lour or live vials of the little TeHcts.' They have
done me worlds of good. All my ft tends say: ' Vandcrwatcr, how well you
are looking. What in the world "hnve you Km doing?' 1 tell thrni 1 Imve
been doctoring with Dr. R. V. IVrcc, of'lluff.ilo, N. Y. ' Wliv,' thevsiiy, you
haven't Iwen there ? ' ' No, I ay, ' but I took his ' Golden Medical Discovery '
and his little ' Pellets,' These medicines have made the great change in me':
from a slow mope of a man that could hardly crawl, tired and sick all the
time, and who could do no work, to a man who can work, sleep, eat, and feel
fine, and that tired feeling all gone away. I am very thankful that I wrote
to Dr. Pierce. His 'Golden Medical Discovery' and his little IVIIct.i' have
almost made a new niau of me.' I feel us young as I did at thirty years. No
oiuer uoctor ior me, oniy ur. nerce."
"It is with pleasure that I tell you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
'Pellets' have done for me," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of I'eede, Kaufman Co., Texus.
"Two years ago I was taken with stomach mid tiowel trouble. Kvery thing I ate would
put me in distress. I lived two weeks on milk, and even that gave me pain. felt as
though I would starve to death. Three doctors attended tut one said I had dysprwin,
two said catarrh of the stomach and bowel. They attended me (one at a time) tor one
year. I stopped taking their medicine and tried other patent medicine; got no lieltcr,
and I grew so weak and nervous my heart would flutter. I could not do any kind
of work. Now, since using your medicines, I can do my housework very well ; am
gaining in Jlesh and strength, and can eat anything I want."
No man can be stronger than his stomach. When disease fastens on the
(stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, (he consequences are
felt by the whole body. A " weak " stomach means a weak man, because
when the stomach is " weak " the digestive and assimilative Kwers fail to a
greater or less extent, and the nutrition of the body is inadequate to its needs.
Hut if "weak" stomach means weak man, then "weak man means "weak"
heart, " weak " kidneys, " weak " liver, " weak " lungs, etc., l-ecause the phys
ical man is only the sum of his organs and members, and his weakness is
the weakness of each and all of the organs of his body.
This fact explains the cures of " weak " heart, kidneys, liver, lungs and other
organs, by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." "l'irst tho diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are cured, ami thus the
weak stomach is made strong. Digestion and assimilation are now perfina.
The nutrition derived from food is all used, ami not partly lost or wasted.
The effects are at once shown in physical gain. The body puts on sound flesh
ana becomes strong, and as I lie body is com
posed of its organs and members, its restored
strength means strength of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys
every organ receiving strength from the only
source from which physical strength is derived, th.it
is from food when properly digested and iorfeetly
assimilated.
