Nearing The End.
Two great men are preparing
to meet their end. One is great'
in the church and the other great
in the field of finance. Cardinal
Gibbons is 79 years old and
while still youthful in soul and
spirit, feels the feebleness of in
creasing age creeping upon him.
Andrew Carnegie has announ
ced that he feels that he has but
a few more years to live and will
employ them in getting his house
in order.
The death of either man will
be a distinct loss to humanity.
As becomes a faithful serv
ant of God, Cardinal Gibbons is
fully prepared to meet his Creat- j
or. He does not fear death nor ,
does he desire to prolong life on '
this earth. He is a man great in |
many ways, a man loved by all I
alike, irrespective of creed or
faith. The cause of humanity j
Has been his cause while faith
ful to the doctrine of his church,
he has had the good of man at
heart in all of the active days of
his useful career.
He has been a strong factor in
the affairs of the church and the
affairs of the country. No man,
either in or out of politics, is so
closely in touch with the best in
terests of the United States, and
his counsel has been often so
licited by the powers at Wash
ington.
He recently serenely talked
of the closing days of his life and
reminded those about him that
death would soon call him to his
higher life. It is an unhappy
thought that we must ever lose
such a beautiful mind and char
acter, but we must all, sooner, or
later, answer that inevitable
summons.
Mr. Carnegie has also felt
that the end of his long and use
ful career is near at hand. This
fact is shown in the systemat
ic steps he has lately taken to
leave behind him as little diffi
culty as posible in winding up
his earthly affairs. Unlike the
cardinal, whose worldy posses
sions have never worried him,
Mr. Carnegie is naturally so
licitous about the great estate
he will leave behind. The Scotch
philanthropist has arranged for
a transfer of part of his Ameri
can trust holdings to Dumferline
the Scotch town in which his
boyhood days were passed.
However, Mr. Carnegie may
dispose of his immense posses
sions, here can be no question
that humanity will participate
in their distribution when he is
gathered to his fathers.
Both of these men have enjoy
ed lives of beautiful usefulness
and both have had a great love
in their hearts for their fellow
men. The world will suffer by
the death of either.
Took A Base Advantage.
That was a low down trick
those prison officials of New
Jersey played on a poor darkey
doing a hunger strike stunt in
imitation of the London suffra
gettes. After the black gentle
man had for three or four days
resisted all overtures to the
eating of the common run of jail
fare, they placed before him a
plate of fried chicken and a gen
erous, roseate section of water
melon.
Could principle stand in the
face of such temptation?
Could tastes inherited from a
long line of ancestral connoisi
eurs in chicken and watermelon
resist such an insidious appeal?
They could not—the black
gentleman forgot principle and
determination and sucumbed to
the weakness of the flesh.—Fort
Smith Times Record.
Fined For Hitting Boy.
Jonesboro, July 23.—A. E.
Bartlette was fined $500 and 10
days in jail in the police court to
day by Judge Hatcher on a
charge of aggravated assault on
Marcus Martin, a minor, and a
cripple. Bartlette claimed self
defense, saying that the boy was
attempting to hit with a crutch.
To stop him he said he meant to
hit the boy’s hand but struck
him on the head with a heavy
hay fork. Bartlette . appealed
the case to the circuit court.

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Yean of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Goto
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
V
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, l could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat- ,
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
flat, nothing seemed to do me any good. 1
l had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its 1
tiring me, and am doing all my work.” i
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a miUion women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom*
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.

CHARACTER SHOWS IN BACKS
ttralght and Upright Carriage Mean*
You Aro Determined, Energetic
and Reliable.
K your back la straight and upright
you are correspondingly straight is
year conduct. You will hold your head
up, for you are not afraid to look the
world in tho face.
Even when you’re sitting you keep
year back straight. There Is aa air of
teal strength about yon—both physics’
sad mental. In short, you have plenty
of backbono. You aro determined, en
ergetic and to be relied upon.
K your back is stooping and round
6you aro a eroaturo as weak aa you
k, yea are prone to lolling about
and too lasy or too feeble to take a
front rank In tho battle of life. The
tramp la an excellent example.
If you ere e criminal, your back Is
stooped or round, but tho scholarly
VjOop of tbe bookworm must not bs
confounded with the foregoing. There
la a difference which is* difficult to de
Icrlbe, but It Is readily recognized by
the close observer.
If you are mean and covetous yeuf
Sack Is narrow an 1 rounded and your
shoulders are high. You are SI7—
rery sly. You generally have die ap
pearance of drawing yourself up Into
49 small a compass as possible. You
are always yourself, so to 3peak,
end people should give you the cold
shoulder.
Are you too straight, hacked? That
is, do you hold youi* head so high that
there is a preposterous full in th«
small of your back? Then you are so
puffed up with self-esteem that you
tarry your chest Jut so far ft’s ab

THINK TOO MUCH OF M0NE>
Many Parsons i-ass Chares sf Happv
Marriage by Exaggerating ths
Valu* of Wealth.
Score* of people lose their cheace*
of being napplly married through mak
tag an unnecessary obstacle of bos
ay. Tli* Importance of It Is often «x
aggers ted. Many a man hesitates tc
/ropes* to a girl because of his small
Income. Very often much misery, mis
understanding, and tangled Urea result
from the silence More unfortunate
I or* affairs are the result of what bar
sot been said than of spoken words.
When a man has a small, sure In
come, and a prospect of Increase,
there Is no legitimate reason for his
I aot speaking of his lore; no reason
! for that matter, to present marriage.
People are so desperately afraid,
though, of beginning married Mile In s
i’naU way. They fear the sacrifices
4hlch they will be called upon to make
—e* the criticism to which they will
be subjected. Many years of happi
ness are lost In this way. It Is such
n mistake for young people to want to
vtart marriage in the state that their
parents are ending it.
To delay marriage until a "comfor
table" income is available Is to provs
something lacking in the love.—kn
