by the story of
the pot of gold which
is to be found just at

Many a man and

there was health to be

started out dreaming
of a healthful future,
never to be realized.
People who have tried change of cli-x
mate in vain for the cure of weak lungs
have been perfectly and permanently
cured by the use of Dr Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures deep-seated
coughs, bronchitis, bleadi :g lungs, ema-
ciation, and other conditions which, if
neglected or unskilfully treated, find a
fatal end in consumption.

Nat., Ind. Ty "I had no appetite and was so
weak 1 could scarcely walk. My breast was all
sore with running sores. I got two bottles of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which I be-
lieve saved my life I cannot express my grati-
tude to you. I am able now to do very good
work."
Any substitute offered as " just as good”
as "Golden Medical Discovery” is a
shadow of that medicine* There are
cures behind every claim made for the
"Discovery,” which no "just as good”
medicine can show.

Random Thoughts.
Are farmers more indifferent
to their own interests than any
other class? I have been asked
this question often and in view
of all the facts before me I am
compelled to answer that they
are. Iam a farmer myself and
this condemns me along with the
others. There are many wide
awake farmers who are keenly
alive to their every interest but
the vast majority apparently
give little thought to it. They
are contented to plant their
crops and till them after the
methods of their fathers, to sow
each crop in its season and to
sell when the harvest is ready,
doing everything in an indiffer-
ent way.
The chief reason for all this,
is lack of cultivation of the
brain. It is agreed by all that a
failure to exercise any organ of
the body, dwarfs that organ.
Hard physical labors tires the
body and brings about a natural
desire for relaxation, for rest.
The man who yields too much
to the temptation to rest his
mind after labor soon grows
mentally lazy and neglects his
mental growth. The brain
dwarfs until after a time it can
become incapacitated for grasp-
ing a new thought. All people
who live by their brain power
recognize this fact. Some farm
ers, however, do not appear to
have learned it, or having learn-
ed, do not care. They become
after awhile, contented merely
to exist, without any thought of
progress. They are willing to
put enough physical labor into
their work, perhaps, because
the physical powers have been
fully developed, but it tires
them to study or to think along
new lines.
There was a farmers institute
held here Saturday. The rail
road company and the agricultu-
ral college sent men skilled in
their work to talk to the farm
ers about the best methods in
farming. These men knew from
much experience just what they
were talking about. There was
not a cent of expense to the
farmers. The meeting was well
advertised through the press and
by circulars, The day being
rather disagreeable for out
door work, many farmers came
to town. After getting here they
were reminded of the meeting
and urged to attend. About
twenty were there and really en-
joyed and profited by the meet-
ing. Ten times as many stood
around on the streets shivering
in the cold, talking idle gossip
rather than go to the meeting
and sit by a warm fire and hear
men discuss matters of vital im-
portance to thenp
The average farmer is too sus
picious for his own good. If you
approach a banker or a wide-
awake business man on a propo
sition, he is always ready to list-
en to what you have to say, and
then he uses his own judgment
as to whether he will accept or
decline your proposition. He is
willing to organize in any way
that will enlarge his business.
The farmer when approached on
such matters, too often begins
to raise objections; to suspect
that some one is trying to do him.
He can see no good from an in-
stitute because a college man or
a railroad man comes to talk to
him and tell him how to farm.
He thinks that because he has
tilled the soil always, even
though he has never changed his
plans one bit, or tried new meth-
ods, he is a past graduate and
can be taught nothing. At any
rate, he will not go to listen to
these fellows, and he fears there
is a bug somewhere under the
chip.
Such ideas are rapidly giving
way among farmers. Many of
them read the best papers to be
found, they study agricultural
methods, attend institutes, go to
the Farmers Congress, and if an
opportunity presents, take a
short course at the agricultural
college. It is this class of farm-
ers who are making a success of
it beyond a question. They are
satisfied with farm Jife and are
prepared to get the most out of
it. Their children also lovo the
work, because they combine
mental and physical development
and are taught that farming is
the best business in the world,
the most honorable, the most in-
dependent and the most pleas-
ant. The farmer who studies,
either owns his home or he finds
a way to get one at the earliest
opportunity, and he is not satis-
fied unless he is surrounding
that home with the means of
making it, for himself and his
family, the happiest spot on
earth.
All hail to the farmer who de-
velops brain and muscle togeth-
er,'“who loves his work, and who
making his work more pleasant
and his surroundings more
agreeable. May his tribe in
crease until the indifferent kind
is no more to be found in our
broad land. Will H. Mayes,
Brownwood, Texas.
Beyond Expression
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence,
Ala., writes: “For nearly seven
years 1 was afflicted with a form
of skin disease which caused an
almost unbearable itching. I
could neither work, rest or sleep
in peace. Nothing gave me per
manent relief until I tried Hunt’s
Cure. One application relieved
me; onebox cured me; and al-
tbougha year has passed, I have
stayed cured. I am grateful be-
yond expression.” Hunt’s Cure
is a guaranteed for all itching
diseases of the skin. Price 50c.
It is obvious that, under Com-
missioner Meehan’s auspices,
some very large fish stories will
be sent out from the Pennsylva-
nia exhibit at St. Louis; but the
fish will be there to show for
them.—Philadelphia, Pa.. En-
quirer.
An Awful Fate.
Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne,
Fla., writes, “My doctor told me
I had consumption and nothing
could be done for me. I was
given up to die. Th.3 offer of a
free trial bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consump-
tion, induced me try it. Results
were startling. I am now on the
road to recovery and owe all to
Dr. King’s New Discovery. It
surely saved my life.” This
great cure is guaranteed for all
throat and lung diseases by Am
brose Johnson, Druggist. Price
50c and $1 00. Trial bottles

When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have
a cold should be to relieve the
lungs. This is best accomplish-
ed by the free use of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy. This rem-
edy liquefies the tough mucus
and causes its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs, pro-
duces a free expectoration, and
opens the secretions. A com-
plete cure soon follows. This
remedy will cure a severe cold
in less time than any other treat-
ment and it leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition.
It counteracts any tendency
toward pneumonia. For sale by

A Joke From England.
At a recent Chamber of Com-
merce .dinner the following
story was told: “At the time of
King Edward’s recovery from
appendicitis, thanksgiving ser-
vices were held all over the
British dominions. The ser
vices werb concluded at a cer-
tain place by the singing of a
well-known hymn, which hap-
pened to be in the back of the
book.
“ ‘Let us close the services,”
the rector said, ‘by singing the
hymn, ‘Peace, perfect Peace’—
in the appendix.’ ”
The Wanderer.
He left the dear homestead and the
scenes of his youth
And went forth a wanderer; a searcher
in truth;
He looked not for treasure, naught he
cared to he rich, ^
What he sought for was something to
cure his itch.
He found it. Name, Hunt’s Cure.
Price 50c.
Doomed to Torment.
Mr. P.C. Keever, Aberdeen,
Miss., writes: “For years I
suffered from a form of eczema
which made life a burden, I
thought I was doomed to perpet-
ual torment here below, but your
Hunt’s Cure rescued me. One
box did the work, and the trouble
has never returned. Many,
many thanks.” Hunt’s Cure is
guaranteed. Price 50c.
In the agricultural building at
the St. Louis exposition 2100 feet
has been allotted for a whiskey
display. That is room enough
for a good many whiskey dis-
plays. It very often displir s
itself in six feet or less in me
gutter, not, however, the kind of
display proposed for the St.
Louis fair. It is said the less
display whisky makes the better
is the article.—Austin, Texas,
