DARE TO TRY. Dr to try! What though a thousand critics wait To cavil at th thing you do? Have courage case upon the grtat Names written high And know that they had critic, too. Whose glory men at knowledge now Had Colon harbored In tats breast Dread ot the critic's scorn Ms prow Had ne'er bean pointed to the west Dare to try! Not one Immortal line or word Of Hamlet would enrich our tongu.

While Mr. Hotnbach's shop on the ground floor was full of odds and ends siitfjfestiiiif his occupation, books, newspapers and certain nf the magazines indicated that the roan of the (flue-pot and hammer was a man of some mental culture. Evidently the magnetic Influence of Mr. Ilombach was considerable; many were the friends and admirers that called to see him in order to hear his "views" on the questions of the day. In summer time the talk was car rird on at Uie front door steps; but during the cold weather the little meetings took plno In the work room, where Mr. Ilombach' ringing voice not unfrequently kept the ten ants of the house, as well as those in the houses adjoining, ' awake until midnight. Of course Mr. Homharh was a nul snncs, but his neighbors bore with him on account of the little boy whom be had adopted. "Mat must have a good heart," they reasoned, "to take In a strung child and be so kind to him." Little Randolph Hnmboch was the waif of a steamboat disaster of some ten years ago. Mux, then about 30 years of age, had been one of the passengers. In the panic a baby was handed to him to savs. The mother never reached shore. Failing to find any relatives for the child, the man. who had no relatives of his own, eon' eluded to keep It. At present Mr. ITombach was at work mending a broken table. The Here frown on his forehead Indicat ed that he was also occupied with some mental problem. When, prrs ently, he heard the sound of light footsteps In the hall, ths frown dls appeared. The boy was coming home from school. He stopped a few moments to talk to a woman In the entry; then he cams Into th workroom with his customary: "Hello, father," add ing: "Miss Elliabeth Ilradlry want the loan of your chisel. May I take it up to her now?" Mr. Homharh started aa If ha had been struck,' his" countenance chang ing with the quickness of lightning Although generous to a fault, hs hsd drawn the line ot generosity and nelghborllnesa at his tool box, the contents of which wars almost sacred in his eyes. "Lead my clilael4o a woman I A womanl As if a woman could touch a tool without ' spoiling HI My gracious, Randolph, do you think I am man 7 ' "Haven't you an old ehlasl some where, father?" asked the boy. "I don't Ilka to tell Miss Elisabeth that you wont lend her a tool because she a a woman. She can't help that.1 Mr. Homhach threw bark his bushy brad, while a smile that he tried to hide shot out of his eyes. Nervous and tempestuous In manner himself, of all things h admired calmness In others, Itnndolph's quiet dignity quit delighted him. "The boy is a diplomat," ha thought to himself. "What a cool headl Ah, some day ha will sit with the great men of the world. Well, I guess you may take that chisel to Miss llrad ley," h said, presently; and began to worn.

The boy looked on the work with interest, and the two began chatting. I'erhaps few things In Miss Brad ley's monotonous life gav her so much pleasure aa listening to Ran dolph's talk about the discussions that were carried on nightly down stairs. He waa still so small and chlldish-looKlng thst the fluent phrases he repented so glibly savored to her of "eniciiess." Khs liked to "draw him nut." as she said, and fre quently naked what "pa" thought about this ur that. "Well. I guess your pa's gut lots of nice sensible ideas," she remarked as a rejoinder to llandolph's elucidation of what his falher belirtcd in regard to "terrilorlul rspaiisioii." Miss Klitalieth herself did not know what th term niennl. lint he bad soms excellent Ideas uloott milk ing gingerbread. She hud a fragrant loaf of It on hand, and she stopped working to cut v large slice, which she brought to' Randolph on on of ber prettiest chins plates. The 'thought returned to "the boy mind that Miss hlilulieth waa very much nicer than any younger lady Ona -could be quit comfortable be side her: she had no "airs; wasn't "giddy;" ahe didn't tease and make fun of boys as young girls did If fate had provided him with a moth' er Instead of a father, he felt would hare liked a mother like Miss Elizabeth Ilnulley. Here, however, the object of his thoughts interrupted. , "I doubt I'll have to trouble you again, Randolph," she anld. "I'lense take the chisel back to your pa with my compliments, and bring me up little saw. Mine Is go big and clumsy that I ran t manage) It." "Ortninly, Miss Klixaheth, I'll ask blm," responded Randolph, with aome misgivings as to what would be the outcome of this second appeal for the loan of a tooL It did not promise well for the suo- cesa of his errand that, going down stairs, he heard his father arguing vehemently with a man In th work shop. He waited outside until the man had gone. Hut. Mr. Homhach pursuing a habit he sometimes In dulged in, continued to demolish the argument of his vnnlshed opponent "You are wrong," he vociferated "the present need of the country:' "Father," interrupted a clear, bo seeching vole, "Miss Elizabeth llrad ley Hut Mr. Ilombach was too deeply stirred to heed or even to notice the boy. "Your argument is based on an exploded theory! You don't know Randolph was obliged to wait until the argument was concluded. Then he said, speaking very earnestly, in his clear, boyish tones: Miss Elizabeth thanks you for the chisel, father. Here it Is. Bee, Isn't spoiled. She's a very nice, care ful lady, Miss Elizabeth is. Hhe needs a llttlai saw very badly; hers is nn old, rusty one, and It won't work." Whatl What's that!" excliiimc Mr. Homhach, raising his black brows with a fresh stnrt of horror. "Dors the woman want a snw now? 1 wns a fool a fool! I might have known I was only making trouble for my' self! Hah! His disgust turned to severe irony. "Maybe the woman would like the tool box!" "Miss Elizabeth is going to give me s slip off her pink gerunium," said Randolph, Mr. Ilombach grunted unwillingly, and th frown deepened between hi eyes. Will you not lend th saw, fa ther?" pleaded the boy. "No," said Mr. Hambach. The tool box stood on the work bench In sight of both. On top was just such a saw as Miss Hradley wnnted. Randolph looked at the nar row, gleaming bind anxiously, then at his father. "How Is Miss Kllu belh to finish her work?" he asked. Mr. Homharh shook his bushy hnlr Impatiently. "I cannot lend tools! No, no! The woman has nn sense! My tools are my friends! Who ever beard of lending a friend?" Randolph's countenance fell; but In a moment he brightened with a new thought. "(), father," he gasped out with breathless engerness to test tin; availability of his idea, "couldn't ynu take the saw upstairs yourself and do the work for Miss Elirubelh for the sake of the saw, you know?" Mr. Ilombach s brows went up again, and he ran his fingers through his thick, upstanding hair ns if the idea wns dllllcult of comprehension. Sure enough, Randolph," lie said In an altered tone, his combative spirit all gone. "How absurd of me not to have thought of that It first. Yea, yes, of course, that Is the only sensi ble thing to do, and It will take only a few moments. To himself he continued as he went upstairs with his tool box: "That lit tle Randolph of mine Is no common boy. Whoever he Is, there Is the blood of a statesman In his veins. He'll make his mark In the world." Miss Elisabeth Hradley diil not ask for the loan of any more tools. As tho weeks passed Randolph noticed that his father went upstairs to chat with har now and then, to the great disappointment nf the men who railed every evening to discuss poli ties, and to the relief nf the neigh bors who wanted to sleep.

Dr. Miles Medlosl Co., Elkhsrt, lnt. Detailed Aeeoant of Ills Trip lot the Froaea North ss His Ureal Service to Aretle Es-ploratloa. The greatest credit Is due to that indomitable explorer, Lieut. I'e&ry, for his latest work in denning Uie geog raphy of the arctic rtgkuis. Al though he has -not yet succeeded in reaching the north pole, or, indeed, in traveling as far north as did Nansrn and Alirur.zi, he has made a contribu tion tu our kuowledgu of the arctic regions which, in extent and useful ness, compares favorably with the work of any previous explorers, and nisy be regarded as an ample return for the riaks and la bora of his long sea son of exploration, says the Scuntific American. As a result of his work around the northern const of (ireeu land, ths geographical boundaries of the great island of Ihe northern hemis phere are now defined with scientific accuracy. The only break in the coast line consists of a short length of un surveyed kind between Independence) bay so named by I'eary at the time of its discovery, nine years ago snd Cape llismarek, on the east coast of (ireenlsiul. Thus the explorations of Orseiiiand, which have been in prog ress now for a thousand jsars past, are praoticslly completed by I'eary's arduous labors and thoroughly scien tific methods. His work, stated in de tali, consists of surveying that portion of the coast line of .Melville bay on the west of Greenland; a survey of the en tire northwestern, north and north eastern coast us far south nsindepend- ence bay; and the accurate mapping out of the channel which extends through Smith's sound to the Arctic ocean on the north coast of (irecniand. I'eary has also traveled 2,40 miles on the great Inland lee cup, und has lo cated Its extreme northern limits; twice he has crossed tirinnell Land, and he has also given us an accurate location of its western shore to n point considerably south of existing sur veys. It Is true that other explorers have lrsve:ed further north than he; but their work, although of great sci entific interest, and currying perhaps more of the elements of the spectso ular, hns not given to the world such a considerable increase in its geograph ical knowledge as results from l'tary's latest travels. I'eary has also done grea I service to arctic operation by proving thm his theories aa lo ihe best method of trav eling are correct. He set out on this last trip with the conviction that, if ths north pole is ever to be reached, it must be done with tin cooperation of the natives end with the extensive use of dogs nnil sledges. In his recent work he has given prncticnl proof of the soundness of Ins theories. ICurly in Ihe mil sprint? it Is his purpose U moke a final "dash for the north pole1' which. If successful, will add grvatly to his well-earned fame. Should he succeed ill reaching It, he will confer a double benefit upon arctic explora tion, since he will at once settle m greatly overrated, but much consid ered iUestion, nnd by so doing will di vert the energy of suliseipu nt explor LAND 0?

There are young people of seventy-five and old people of sixty. The difference between these young-old people and old-young peo ple is a difference of vital force. Where does this vital force come from? How is it produced? How may it be preserve'd? The answer is that all physical vitality comes from food properly digested and assimilated. Food fills but docs not feed unless the processes of digestion and assimilation are thoroughly performed. It is from the nutrition extracted from food that physical vitality is produced. It is quite- possible to eat heartily and yet lack vitality because the nutrition in the food is not extracted. This happens when there is disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Then the food is imperfectly digested and the nutritive values are largely lost. The consequence of this loss of nutrition in general is physical weaki.ess and in old age it is the forerunner of senile decay. Strength then in youth or old age is only a question of sufficient food which is properly digested and assimilated. If vital strength is produced from food under these conditions, it is evident that this vital strength may be preserved while the stomach and its associated organs are kept in a healthy condition. It is imperfect digestion and loss of nutrition caused by disease of the stomach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, to which in general loss of vitality may be attributed. x Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition in young or old. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, from which alone the body receives its strength and by which it preserves its vitality. "When I wrote you for advice, I was feeling very miserable with not simply one ailment but a general debility," writes Jlrs. Martha Jones, of Claremont, Surry Co., Va. "I pur chased a bo'.llc of ' Favorite I'rescriptioti ' and also one of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and a bottle of 1 relicts.' I soon liegau to improve and continued taking them until I was feel ing so well I discontinued. That was lust spring, and I continued feeling as well as could lie expected of an old lady seventy-three years of aire, I have so much faith in your medi cine ; I feel that the number of my days lias been prolonged by taking it. I recommend Dr. Tierce's medicines every chance I get. I think there is no medicine equal to yours for old people. It makes their declining days easy and cheerful. I would say to the aged especially, take Dr. Tierce's medicines, tbey will help and cure also." "I was a sufferer from chronic diarrhea for five years," writes Jlrs. Mary M. Aaron, of Rolla, Phelps Co., Mo. "I tried ditferent remedies which would give me relief for a short time only. My trouble would return as liad as ever. I consulted you in July, 1900, and by your advice commenced using Dr. Tierce's remedies. I took two bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' three vials of the ' Tcllets,' and some of the ' Extract of Smart-Weed,' as you advised. I have not had any return of my trouble since using your medicines. Am now seventy-one years old, and I never had anything to relieve me so quick. I think Dr. Tierce's medicines the greatest on earth. My thanks to you for your advice and thanks to Almighty God for restoring me to health through your bauds." One of the consequences of partly digested food is the clogging of the system and corruption of the blood by the accumulation of waste material. In such a condition some outbreak of impure .blood is quite liable to take place, and, the lack of vital force resulting from loss of nutrition makes disease a hard thing to fight under such conditions. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery not only cures diseases of the stomach, but it purifies and enriches the blood, elimi nating from it the poisons which produce disease. "Three years ago illy husband was taken sick," writes Mrs. C. S. Towle, of San Ardo, Monterey Co., Caliiornia. " He had three carbuncles. Two on back of the neck and one was in region of kidneys. It was six inches in diameter and he had the liest doctor we could get. He attended him two months and then said he could do no more for him; that he had so little vitality there was nothing to build on; that a change might do him good. The children insisted on his going away, but I said no, if he must die, he should die here in our own home, but if he could I raised from that bed of sickness I could do it with Dr. Tierce's medicines. We bought one liottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and a vial of Dr. Tierce's Tellets. My husband had not been able to sit up, even to have his bed made. When he had tnken one bottle of the medicine he could sit up and go out of doors, and when seven had been taken he was in lietter health than for five years previously. He is now seventy years old, and can do a good day's work." As a tonic for old people there is no medicine superior to "Golden Medical Discovery." It strengthens the stomach, purifies the blood, and so gives new life and new strength. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
