the boiling ovbb point.
Old Ynloan’s pot boils over at
the thousands of yawning cra-
ters. We know do reason for
it, but it boils over. Bee hives
and nations boil over, it seems
in the nature of things. Crime
in its subterranean caserns
fcoiis and hisses, and it, too,
boils over and heats up the
ocean ot life for miles around.
God Himself runs over with just
indignation and the great deep
boils over and the world is laid
waste. From the smallest cre-
ated thing to the Creator there
is a time when ebullition is
reached, a time when endur-
ance, the centripetal force of
the mind, is overcome by an-
ger, the ceutrifagal force, then
a molecule of thought leaps be
yond the pale ot circumiacent
equilibrium and the boiling oyer
point has been reached. Tem-
ple is approaching that point.
Unless some unforeseen force
intervenes, the day is not dis
tant when the very foundations
of our social structure will have
such a shock as to leave wreck
and ruin of home,lives and fort-
unes.
Better call a halt, better live
true to your profession, better
leave the sheep’ s cloak off and
trot with the wolves, better re-
member poor Tray and stay
out of bad company.
Sometimes when
the last spark of life
seems almost extin-
guished it is fanned
into flame again by
prompt, vigorous ac-
tion. It is a mistake
however, to put off
action too longj an-
other mistake is to
despair too easily.
Both these mistakes
are made in dealing
with disease, par-
ticularly with con-
sumption. It is neg-
lected at first until
someone names it
Then the name
.strikes terror to the
mind ; the nature of
the disease is misun-
derstood : It is a
blood disease, set-
tled in the lungs. If
it settled somewhere
else the doctors
would give it a dif-
ferent name -.—scrofula, kidney disease 01
"liver complaint” But the name only tells
where it settles. It is really all one dis-
ease :—Bad blood \ and there is only one
cure -. — Good blood.
An abundance of gfeod, rich, red, blood put
into the circulation, cures everyone of these
complaints, consumption as well as the rest
—if it hasn’t gone too far. It is on this true
physiological principle—fully proven by i ;-
perience—that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery cures Consumption and all other
blood diseases. It tones up the blood-mak-
ing organs to produce a fresh supply of
healthy, red blood; this carries new nour-
ishment and life to the wasted lung tissue :
or any other tissue that is affected. It
drives out the poisonous disease - germs
which dog the skin, liver or kidneys. It is
simply a question of purifying and building
np ; where there is anything left to build on
the “Golden Medical Discovery” will in-
fallibly build up and cure. It cures cases
which doctors declare "incurable.” That
word has lost its meaning since Doctor
Pierce’s wonderful “ Discovery.”
The plain and hopeful truth about disease is
shown In the light of the best science of the
century in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical
Adviser. It is a volume of 1008 pages; illustrated.
It also contains letters from many who have been
rescued from consumption. This great book ia
free, if you send 21 one-cent stamps, to cover cost
of mailing only, to World’s Dispensary Medical
Association, Buffalo, N. Y.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Cleveland has again unload-
«1 mother heavy message. Be-, 8h.„holae„,
ginning with the Armenian The 8hareholder8 the First
question, he details ancient
history, talks in stilted lan
guage about what every well
informed American knows, mor-
alizes and leaves the subject
without recommending any-
thing save patience; he next
dives into Cuban history, reca-
pitulates the moves and coun-
ter-moves of the Spaniards and
Insurgents, talks about the
dignity and reputation of the
United States, the large posses-
mods of Americans, talks
through his hat and insinuates
that the United States may not
ait still always and watch the
bloody game, but suggests
nothing that will in any way
lead to a happy conclusion of
the butchery of the Islanders.

meeting will be held at the associa-

A Salvation Army Plea to Fanners.
Hello, brother, are you a farmer?
If so remember you should thank
God for all that you possess, and no
doubt you will, but the best way
perhaps to do so is to give some of
what God has given you to your
poor brother who is in need For
remember that while you may have
all the necessities, and perhaps even
some of the luxuries, of life there
are some of your fellew men, yea,
thousands of them, in dire want and
And to such it is that the

terances hateful to most men of Salvation Army is going to give a
independence. He reoommends
the Bale of bonds—his weak-
ness roue that way—and the
.purchase of all paper redeema-
ble In gold, if that does not
-Mit, then he would recommend
the retirement of the redeema-
ble currency as redeemed and
thereby contract the currency
to the extent of the greenbacks
and treasury notes. His advice
along this line of retrenchment
mad reform is general and is
grandmother like, dealing in
broad generalities too meaning-
Jeea to be called an oatline of
action. It is to be hoped that
the country will never be af-
flicted with another each as he.
There are a number of towns
now that use the Carfew bell
to warn boys and girls to re-
pair to their homes after the
Christmas dinner, .they aim to feed
three hundred poor people in the
city gf Temple on that day, as well
as to give articles of clothing and
shoes, etc. But remember, the Sal
vation Army is not rich, therefore
we must have the co-operation of
the liberal, kind-hearted people,
both in and out of the city, and no
doubt there are farmers in Bell
county who would gladly bring in
turkeys, chickens, potatoes, cabbage
turnips or any other article of farm
produce that can be prepared for
food and donate it to the Salvation
Army Christmas dinner. If so,
they can be left at the Salvation
Army headquarters in Temple on
1st street, between avenues A and
B (next door north of Western Un-
ion telegraDh office) any time be-
tween now and Christmas day-
Anything either in shape of edibles
or wearing apparel thankfully re-
ceived. R. McKenzie, Capt.

A Card of Thank*.
More than a year ago we were in-
duced to open our doors to consum-
ers and through the Times and in
other ways notified our farmer
friends and the public in general
that we could saye them money.
The responses were liberal, our
trade prosperous and the public
benefltted. We take this means of
thanking our patrons and friends
for their patronage and feel sure
that we have established a line of
confidence that will in the future re-
spond to a call similarly made. We
have decided to return to the job-
bing business and on and afterj an.l,
’97, we will not sell to any consumer.
Now is the time to lay in your sup-
plies, as after the first of January
you will pay the advanced prices.

(Tribute to my bW‘ et little bane, John Barton
Travla Moffett )
Death again has invaded my home
and taken from me my darling
cherub boy. About 1 o’clock Mon-
day evening, Nov. 16th, 1896, his
little spirit winged its flight from
earth to heaven. On Tuesday morn-
ing his little sleeping dust was
gently and tenderly laid to rest, by
the side of his angel mother, to
await the resurrection morn. God
moves in a mysterious may, his
wonders to perform.
Good-bye, my precious, darling boy,
My pride, my life and joy,
Oh! how my heart bleeda lor thee.
Thy aweet little face again to see.
The empty cradle, the vacant chair,
The little stockinga to me so dear.
All are sad, but aweet mementoes
Of the little life, now co!d In death.
What joy there must have been
When the pearly gates flew open,
And mother and child each other embraced,
On eternity's shore—in Heaven.
Its pains and its sufferings are over,
The cares of this life are ended.
Forever at rest beyond the confines of earth,
Lives again—my child forever in Heaven.
—J. W. Moffxtt.
