irnt to keep it to hit the crowd with
toni;!it- I want the biggest bustinest
crowd to gather here tonight that the
town of Jericho has ever seen. Give
every man notice as he drops in today
and along about 7 o'clock I'll hev the
gre bells rung and the horns tooted.
Jell 'em it's a big thing pap; tell 'em
ft'j sunthin that's bound to jump this
town over a ten rail fence and make
tity lots wuia a thousand dollars
apiece."
There was a good deal of excitement
around town that afternoon and wheu
light came the crowd at the postofflce
uaias big as the time when war was
Awlnri'd ai:'in Spain. Most of 'em
thought Bill Lapbani was goin to de-
1 clarwar ag'iu Mexico or Canada and
II eteryoody was lookin pale when Dea-
Ji cos Spooner called the nieetin to order
I ' and said:
"Sons or ireeuom. we ncv gaiuereu
nere tonight to hear some remarks
from our esteemed feller townsman.
William Lanliaiii. and we kin take It
that them remarks will go beyand
geese auJ goslin's. Make your p'int.
Bill."
"My p'int is this." says Bill as he
draws a lon breath and steps out to
eit room. "We ar' now in the midst
of the turmoil of a political cam
paigti. Somebody is goin to be elected.
I ain't savin who it'll be but the gold
en opportunity fur which Jericho ha
sishpd is at hand. When the newly
elected otlicial takes the oath of of
lice he will b-j escorted to and fro."
'That's k'lvct" .ays Deacon Spooner
is Bill pausi-s fur breath. "The speak
er ain't through yit. but he s made a
p'int already. Wheu he refers to the
turmoil of campaign it's not only high
flown lansiiae. but a strong p'int. Go
ahead. Bill."
"That escort will not only do the pres-
ident proud" continued Bill "but
very man in it will be mentioned by
all the papers in the United States.
They'll speak of his wife and children
and town aud home and he'll be a big
Ban fur the rest of his life. He kin be
elected sheriff without opposition and
If any one runs ag'in him fur the legis-
lature they'll be snowed under. What
I'm here tonight fur is to ask the ques-
tions: Why not organize the Jericho
Guards? And why shouldn't the
Jericho Guards be that escort?"
There was yellin and whoopin fur
the next five minits. but when the dea-
con could make himself heard be said:
"It's a p'int gentlemen sis or seven
P'ints. I've read all the speeches ever
delivered by Henry Clay or Daniel
Webster and both of 'em put together

and be captain of the company? S'posln
e hear from Abner Jones on the sub-
ject" 'I 8' pose it's known in this town that
great grandfather was killed at the
Mttle of Monmoutl." says Abner as
gets off the counter "though I ain't
braggiu about it. I'll Jest say that
I'm willin to die fur my country any
time I'm called upon and if I'm elected
wptain of the Jericho Guards I'll
promise that no Invader shall set foot
on these shores and live for five min
Tnar's a p'int In that." says the dea-
0tt as he looks a bit put out. "When

we want to hear from other patriots

everybody swung his hat a
out that he was.
In the second place. I'd like to know
If everybody wants to be captain."
Everybody swung his hat and yelled
out that he did.
"But everybody can't be." protested
Bill. "I don't want nobody to charge
me with bein 6elfish or conceited but
I'm teilin you that this idea is mine
and that I'm the man to boss the Jer-
icho Guards. I believe I'm the only
man in this town who wanted to enlist
to fight the Spaniards."
"Bill makes a p'int. and we can't de-
ny it" says Deacon Spooner "but
when I offered to lead them guards to
victory or death I felt that I was the
man to do it. I don't want to crowd
Bill Lapham out of place but"
"Neither do we!" yell 40 men.
"But he must see"
4 "Of course he must!"
Then thar was yellin and shontln and
a great uproar and Bill Lapham said
It was a doggoned crowd and he could
lick any two of 'em rolled together.
Deacon Spooner hammered on th
stovepipe with his cane till he Could be
heard and then he said:
"It appears as if we all want to lead
the Jericho Guards and die fur our
country and it further appears as If
this meetiu was gittin mad about sun
thin. I notice Llsh Billings over by
the lasses bar Is. Lish. what d'you

"Not by a jugful but If I was thar
wouldn't be auy Jericho Guards to
die with. You've all bin wastin your

"How's that?"
"Thar's jest 9G men in this town
continues Lisu "ana when the war
was goin on and thar was talk that it
might come to a draft the hull crowd
of us weut to the doctors to be examin-
ed. We had busts and ruptures and
short legs and sprung knees. We had
consumption aud rheumatism and
heart trouble. We was deaf and nigh
sighted and toothless. Thar wasn't
one blessed critter in the hull 90 who
was fit to jump over a tow string or

we'd better git sunthin soft to eat fur

Famous Words by John J. Ingalls.
''The purification of politics is
an iridescent dream."
"I belong to no church and sub-
scribe to no creed but I believe in
God and immortality and that we
shall reap what we sow here and
hereafter."
''I am a thoroughly immoral
politician and may as well confess
ray turpitude. No discuise. will
avail me. In this respect I am
known to be a very bad man."
The man who is unhappy when
he is poor would be unhappy if he
were rich. A beggar may be hap-
pier in cis rags tnau a uing in ms
purple. Happiness is an endow
ment and not an acquisition."
"A trust is a thing that knows
no pontics but plunder ana no
principles except spoliation of the
human race."
'The Golden Rule and the Deca-
louge have no place in au American
political campaign."
'Millionaires are the froth on
the beer."
OPPORTUNITY.
Master of human destinies am I!
Fame love and fortune on my
footsteps wait
Cities and field I walk; I pene-
trate Deserts and seas remote and pass
ing by
Hovel and marl and palace soon
or late
I knock unbidden once at every
gate!
If sleeping 'wake if feasting n?e be
fore
I turn away. It is the hour ot late.
And they who follow me reach
every state
Mortals desire and conquer every
foe
Save death; but those who doubt or
hesitate
Condemn to failure penury and woe
Seek me in vain and useless im-
plore I answer not and I return no more.
The above sonnet written by
ex-Senator Ingalls shows the touch
of the master in literature.
The soothing and healing proper
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
its pleasant taste and prompt and per
manent cures have made it a great
favorite with the people everywhere.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Lire.
I am the mother of eight children
and have bad a great deal of expe
rience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter bad the dysentery
in its worst form We thought she
would die. I tried everything I
could think of but nothing seemed
to do her any good l saw by an
advertisement in our paper that
Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly rec
ommended and sent and got a bottle
at once. It proved to be one of the
very best medicines we ever had in
the house. It saved my little daugh
ter's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had I known it at
first it would have saved me a great
deal cf anxiety and n.y little daugb
ter much suffering. Yours truly

Pepsin Syrup Co.
Dear Sire: I feel it my duty to
write to you and let you know how
much good your medicine haa done
for me. Twenty-three yeras ago
was taken with some kind of stom-
ach trouble and I tried everything I
heard of. They did me but little
good Three years ago neuralgia set
in on me and I got so poor and weak
that I could hardly walk couldn't
work any. My husband received a
book through the mail advertising
your medicine and he sent our little
boy to the drag store to get one of
your ten-cent bottles. I began to
use it. It is strange to say but it's
the truth the second dose I took
gave me lots of relief. I kept on
using it till I used it nearly one year
and now I am nearly as strong as I
used to be and can do any kind of
work. I recommended it to all for
t seems to me it would cure anybody
have gotten several to nse Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and they
all say it has done them so much
good. God bless Dr. Caldwell and
bis medicine for doing me so much
good. Yours with respect.
