TAKE £our hands out of your pockets, young man. You are losing time. Time is valuable. People feel it at the other end of the line, when death is near and eternity is pressing them into such small quarters, for the work of this life craves hours, days, weeks, years.? If those at this end of the line of youth, with its abundance of resources would only feel that time was precious! Time is a quarry. Every hour may be a nugget of gold. It is time whose valuable moments we built our bridges, spike the iron rails to the sleepers, launch our ships, dig our canals, run our factories. You might, have planted twenty hills of potatoes while I have been talking to you, young man. Take your hands out of your pockets.--Christian Banner. JAMES COM^LKKY was arrested on Fri- | day evening last on a warrant sworn ;: #_ Jtot by Evanjson & Co., Sot theft. AT; the J examination it came out that he had f also forged an order on which he had ob- [ tained money. The goods stolen were found in his possession and ,he was bound over to the Grand Jury, and was taken to Woodstock on Monday, and d in jail. " WE are informed that during the fire at i residence of Clarence Cobb, on Satur­ day last, some person appropriated a lady's gold watch and a purse containing a small sum of money. It is bad enough to have one's furniture torn up and dam­ aged by fire and water, but when light- fingered gentry put in their work at the same time it makes one feel that lynch iw would be very much in place could le miscreants be caught. ABOTTT half past three o'clock an Sat­ urday afternoon the bouse occupied by Clarence Cobb, on the West Side, and owned by the John Hogan estate, was discovered to be on fire, but help being promptly on hand it was extinguished with slight damage, with the exception of the breaking of doors and windows. The fire caught from some clothes hang­ ing near a stove, the family being away from home at the time. Had this occur- ed in the . night the house would have A Word to the Girls. Be careful to form the habit while you're young, girls, of always being tidy in your dress, for it is#a habit. Some of the hardest* working business women we knew seem to always have on a neat dress, a clean collar, and neatly combed hair, while others who do not accomplish half so much are^always untidy about the house, though usually gorgeous when they go out. Imagine setting down at the family table with tumbled locks, un­ tidy gown, from which half the buttons are gone, their place being supplied with pins with perhaps a rent or two at the seams and the elbows poking through. The picture is not inviting, and the worst of it is one looses her own self respect, as well as the respect of others, when she permits herself to appear in this way. In a neat dress, appropriate to the work she is doing, she is spared any mortification, no matter who may call. •gL v " V !':, There ia No Easy Place. W. H. Beldin, a tanner of Boston, at a recent dinner of the Leather Association, said, among other good things: The age in which we live.demands energy, de­ votion, wide awake activity, to give suc­ cess to any calling. Henry Ward Beecher once received a letter from a young man who recommended himself very highly as being honest, and closed with the request "get me an easy situation, that honesty may be rewarded;" to which Mr. Beecher replied: "Young man, don't be an editor if you would be easy; do not try the law; keep away from lawyers; avoid school keeping; keep out of the pulpit; let alone all ships, stores, shops and merchandise*; abhor politics; don't practice medicine; be neither a iarmer, a mechanic, a soldier or a sailor; don't study, don't think, don't work. None of these are easy. Oh, my honest friend, ytra are in a hard world; I know but one easy place in it; : ̂ i \ „ ,r > f One of the most social gatherings of /the season was the Golden Wedding of ames Morton and wife, which occurred ,t their home, in the town of Xunda, on he evening .pMSeb. 4th, 1892L^Invita- aJfbeen issued to relatives and a few intimate^ friends, but sickness and distance/#rflvented relatives and friends from Osborne, Kan., Cedar Rapids and Burlington, Iowa, Chicago, 111. and Romance, Wis., from being present. Con­ gratulations with good wishes, along with tokens of friendship were received from those absent as well as present. After supper, which was all one could 'wish, the remainder of the evening was spent in social conversation, singing and recitations by the children present, and last but not least a song by the groom entitled "Lassie Gowrie." The company after wishing Mr. and Mrs. Morton many more anniversaries of their marriage de­ parted to their homes in the small hours of the morning, all seeming well pleased with the Evening's entertainment. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. A. Hender­ son, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. A. Hunter, Cary; Mr. and Mrs. R. Baxter, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Brand, Wauconda; Mr. and Mrs. J. McWorter, Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Time is short, very short, definitely short, we are told, for the world is set to come to its end, if not in the last Septem­ ber, then without fail, in 1899. However ttiip may be, the world is convinced that there is no time for anything but brevity. Long visits are tiresome; long stories, long exhortations and longeditorials are skipped over; long prayers and sermons put congregations to sleep;' and long talks are nuisances wherever found. Simple, direct speech, without wordy flourishes, or long preparation, is what the world wants. It is moving along at a rapid rate, but it will hear you if you can express yourself with telegraphic shortness, and really have something to say. Our country has about fifteen thous­ and newspapers, the editors of which are calling out to their thousands of corres­ pondents to condense wjiat they would say--make one n ord answer for two, and two for three, and so on till nothing but the naked, simple truth or idea of the writer stands before the reader. This is the only chance of being heard ^through the press. Governor's procla­ mations and Presidents' messages are documents that should be read by all classes, and would be were it possible to condense them to readable shortness. Even editors, who are obliged to consider their contents, tackle the wordy thing in sections, and thus get over a portion daily for the benefit of their own as well as their readers understanding. The world used t^ m<We slower; people had plenty of time to wvote to an os team and coach traveling, and lived at a reasonable rate. But noft now. What is all this rush and hurry about ? It seems as if the days of time were numbered, and that, without being directly informed of it, the race of man bad caught thefactby tuition. SOCIAL PARTY.

ELIZABET SMITHH FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL. The Bible Says, "man is fearfully and wonderfully made." Butphysiologists all concede that the most wonderful part of man is the nervous system. In it are located the seats of life and mind, and the control of all the bodily organs. When the nerves «re destroyed the part is paralyzed. The flesh, blood and bones are as nothing to it. Derangements of the brain or nerves are the causes of headache, fits, dizziness, fluttering of the heart, sexual weakness, sleeplessness, neu­ ralgia, cold hands and feet.

True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail, 25 cent, 50 cent and §1.00 bottles for sale by G. W. Besley. No healthy person heed fear any dan­ gerous consequenoes from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as- a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and complete recov­ ery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneu­ monia. 25 and 50 cfent bottles for sale by G.
