CATARRH Catarrh has l.ecome such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh as nothing more serious than a bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system. Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. S. 6. S. does.

November trees are brown and bare And brief and chill November days. But on the farm all are astir And cheerfully the mother says "The day to all New England dear Thanksgiving Day, will soon be here. "So, father, choose the turkey now And I will make some pnmpkln pies. And we will have a pudding nice And it shall be of largest size; There are walnuts In the garret And there is corn that pops like snow, There are apples In the cellar Which all the children love, I know. "And we will have onr sons come home. Our daughters and grandchildren, too, Mary Ann and Jim and Joseph, Maggie, Nellie and baby Prue." So father gets the tnrkey fine And mother makes the pumpkin pies And home Thanksgiving morning brings Beloved ones of every size.. The old house rings with their glad langh, The fireplace glows with ruddy light. And when at table all have met That kitchen is a pleasant sight. The father offers sincere thangs, The little ones Impatient wait, And then the tnrkey plump he carves And from the bounty fills each plate. Then grandma's plum-Ailed pudding comes With mince and pnmpkln pies galore, While nuts and apples, raisins sweet. And fun and feasting crown the hour. And here the poor remembered are - And not In kindly word alone. With well-filled hands the children speed To neighbors' homes where want Is known. The pleasant hours most swiftly fly. The corn is popped and stilled the fnn. And happy children rest In bed. The glad November day Is done. But by the fire grandmother sits And in her hand she holds a eurl, A soft brown curl, that shone long since Around the face of her first girl "Dear child," she cries, "forgotten never, A mother's love remembers ever." -Emily Pearson Bailey. 5 A RURAL PEACEMAKER. ; X TtV T T 14 i R ROTTR . v a-a j. a mi We fS3 HEY did not pay much attention Ilto Thanksgiving in the country i school district in which I taught in the West a good many years ago. Christ mas was the chief holiday of the winter, and it was celebrated without any special demonstration, for most of the people were poor and there was not much senti ment in their general make-up. Old Han nah Dorton, with whom I boarded, was of New England birth, and she had not come to the West until some years after her marriage. She was a woman of a good deal of force of character, and no one in the neighborhood had a nimbler tongue. One evening about two weeks before Thanksgiving I said to her: "Do the people observe Thanksgiving very generally in thisjieighborhood?" "No, they do not," replied the old lady with considerable emphasis. "And it has always been a good deal of a trial to me that so little attention was paid to a day that we made so much of back there in dear old New England. It was the great est holiday of the year to us, and how we did enjoy it!" "Why do they pay so little attention to it here?" -"Well, I guess it is just because they have never got in the way of paying any attention to it. They never celebrated the Fourth of July as it ought to be cele brated until my husband got them started to doing it ten years before he died, and now we have a big celebration every year." "Some one ought to start them to cele brating Thanksgiving." "So they ought. But who is to do it?" r reflected for a few moments, and then I said: "Suppose we start them off in that di rection." "How?" asked the old lady, dropping her knitting into her lap and manifesting eager interest, "Suppose we get up a Thanksgiving dinner in the school house. Invite all the folks in the district to come and bring their dinner with them. There "does not seem to be any social life in- the neigh borhood unless one can call occasional spelling matches and singing schools in the school house social diversions. The people never eat and drink together in a merry-making of any kind. Don't you think that the idea of a Thanksgiving dinner in the school house would take?" The old lady reflected for a moment and then said: "Yes, I think it would. It would be a novelty to every one, and I think the folks would turn out big, only only " "Only what?" I asked. "Well, the fact is, there are so many folks in this neighborhood that don't speak to each other. I never saw any thing like it. There is old Squire Bent, who won't speak to his daughter because she married John Watters against the squire's wishes. There was nothing against John, excepting that he was poor, and he had a brother that had been in jail, but John couldn't help that, and he has done splendidly ever since he mar ried, and it is my opinion that the squire would like to make up with John and Nellie, only he is too proud to make any advances, and they won't either. Then there is Kate Whiting and her sister, Lucy Patch, who had a falling out years ago; and ain't spoke to each other since, and before that one was the very shadder of the other. Reuben Hoopes and his brother Silas and their families fell out over the property after old man Hoopes died, and they ain't ever spoke since. Then the Anderson and Kobey families had a falling out five years ago, and they don't speak, and before that they were as thick as flies around a molasses bar'l. Tnen there are other families in the dis trict that ain't as friendly as they ought to be, so your Thanksgiving dinner might end in a riot if all these people come to gether in the school house." "Not with a woman of your tact at the head of it," I said. "Well, you go ahead and get it up, and I will aid and abet you all I can. I t will be a break in the monotony of things here even if there is a fight." I spent all of my time before and after school during the next ten days in call ing at all of the homes in the neighbor hood, and inviting the people to come to the school house on Thanksgiving day with well-filled baskets. The school house was unusually large, and there would be room for all if we took out a part of the seats. Three days before Thanksgiving old Mrs. Dorton said: "I guess you'll have the house full Thanksgiving. Nancy Ross was in here to-day, and she says that the whole dis trict is coming, and Nancy knows if any one does, for she spends most of her time trotting about picking up gossip and re tailing it out aagin. She is as good as the local columns of a newspaper for giv ing news about what folks are saying and doing, and she says that the idea of the Thanksgiving dinner in the school house was caught like wildfire. Nancy says she wouldn't miss it for" a party." The larger boys and girls of the school met me at the school house the evening before Thanksgiving, and we decorated the room beautifully with evergreens and WE WIIX NOW SING several flags we had been able to borrow. Provision had been made for two long tables to run almost the entire length of the room with some smaller tables in the corners. "I suppose that we will have to be careful how we seat the people at the ta bles," I said to Mrs. Dorton. "You just leave that mostly to me," said the old lady. "I know the people better than you do, and I won't be so apt to make awkward blunders. I'll set 'em down all right." Nancy Ross was right when she said that the whole district would be present at the dinner. The dinner was to be at 1 o'clock, and by noon the house was fill ed by a merry, happy crowd, including al most every family in the district. There were baskets and boxes and even tubfuls of turkeys and chickens and doughnuts and pies and cakes. There were baskets of big red apples, and Hi ram Hawkins brought half a barrel of sweet cider. Some one brought a bas ket of popcorn balls for the children, and there was an infinite variety of jellies and jams and preserves and pickles brought forth from boxs and baskets. "There's enough stuff here to feed an army," said Hannah Dorton, as she bus tled about from table to table, the happi est and most active person in the house. A few minutes before 1 o'clock I heard her saying to Mrs. Kate Whiting, "Come, now, Kate; yon and your husband and two children are to set at this table over in this corner. Come right along." Ani when they were seated the old lady bus tled up to Mrs. Patch and said: "Now, Lucy, you and your husband and the children are to sit here at this table." "And if she didn't plump them right down with the Whitings that they hadn't spoken to for years," said the voluble Nancy Ross afterward. Indeed Nancy was so fond of telling about that Thanksgiving dinner afterward that I think I will let her tell about it now. "Then," she said, "if that Hanner Dor ton didn't set old Squire Bent down at the head of one table with his daughter Nellie at his right hand and his son-in-law, John Watters, at his left, an' their baby in a high chair at its gran'pa's side, an' it wa'n't three minutes before the old Squire had that baby in his arms and he et his whole dinner with the little thing in his lap. I heard his daughter say" to him, 'Shan't I take the baby, father, so that you can eat your dinner in greater comfort?' But he held right on to it, and there he sat talkin' to Nellie and John same as if there'd never been any trouble at all. And he bad that baby in his arms the whole afternoon, an' went around as proud, sayin' to folks, 'See my grandson. Ain't he a mighty fine boy?' It .was the first time he had ever see'n the child, an' the next week he made Nellie and John come and live with him. Then what did that Hanner Dor ton do but put Reuben Hoopes an' his brother Silas and their families at a table by themselves? an' I heard her say to 'em. 'Come, now, you folks want to be sociable an' have a good visit together same as own brothers ought to on Thanksgivin' day.' Their wives have al-' ways wanted to make up, an' I tell you they found their tongues mighty soon, an' 'fore that meal was over they was talkin' away as if there had never been any row over property or anything else. An' before they knew it the Anderson and Robey families found themselves at the same table with Hanner sayin' to 'em, 'Now it don't make no difference about the past. This is Thanksgivin' day. an a good time to forget that there has ever been anything but a happy past between you folks.' "Then if she didn't up an' set old Ruth Xorse an' old Betty Underwood down side by side, an' they hadn't spoke to each other "for years, an' before they knowed it them two old bodies was chat tin' away together as if they had never had a fallin' out in the world. Then when she had got all the people that were enemies set down side by side she seated every one else, and then she said, "'We. will now sing.' ' "Blest be the tie that binds." ' An' ev'rybody sung it, an' then Elder Sharpe asked a blessin' an' the dinner was begun. There never was such a spread seen before in these parts, an' you never would have thought to have seen them people eatin' an' langhin' an' merrymakin' together that there was such a thing in the world as malice or envy or bitterness or ill-will or anything o' the sort, no you wouldn't. After the dinner we had games an' sung songs" an' made speeches, an' from that time on there was more peace an' happiness an' sociability in the neighborhood than there ever was before. I tell you we'd good reason to stand np as we did before we started for home an' sing " 'Praise God from whom all blessings flow.' " Cause fbr Anxiety "What are you crying about, little girl?"

The Daughter of a Former Governor of South Dakota Attains an Enviable Position. From the Oregon Independent, Salem, Ore. The daughter of Hon. J. H. Fletober, formerly governor of South Dakota, Dot now a resident of Salem, Oregon, has lately attained an enviable position. Her success is remarkable, especially when the fact is known that for some time it was feared ber career wonld be shortened because of ill health. Ex-Governor Fletcher in speaking of the happy event in his daughter's life said: "For over two years my daughter had been declining from a strong, healthy, rosy-cheeked person to a pale, weakly and helpless eirl. She was afflicted with terrible headaches, and apparently grew weaker and more lan guid, and apparently without cause. We became greatly alarmed and feared that her days were already numbered. "I tried several doctors, one after the other, but all without avail. Fin ally, to please a friend, I bought a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and to our surprise, before it was used her headaches ceased, the color began to return to her cheeks and lips and her strength began to assert itself. ' 'I bought five boxes more and by the time she had finished them she was completely restored to her health, and today our hearts are gladdened with the society of a robust, rosy and healthy girl instead of a pale, tired and sickly one. In her case the transfor mation was rapid and wonderfnl, and I can never speak too highly of the splendid merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." No discovery of modern times has proved such a boon to women as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulat ing the functions, they restore the strength and health to the exhausted woman when, every effort of the phjsi cian proves unavailing. For the growing girl they are of the utmost benefit, for the mother indis pensable, for every woman invaluable. Everywhere Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are recognized as a specific for diseases of the blood and nerves. For paralysis, locomotor atax ia, and other diseases long supposed incurable, they have proved their effi cacy in thousands of oases. They are one of the greatest blessings ever be stowed upon mankind. This remedy is sold by druggists generally, or will be sent, postpaid, bv ! the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Sche nectady, N.

S Chinese tike Americans Best. Up to the beginning of the present troubles, it has been somewhat remark able fact, aocording to the Philadel phia Inquirer, that no American citi zen, traveler, business man, diplomat or missionary, has ever been murdered in China by the Chinese. This can be said of the citizens of none of the other great powers which bave had constant and -long-continued intercourse with the East. This, it is said, is not a mere coincidence, or accident. - The .Chinese like Americans. Of course, the statement is made with the reser vation that they do not like any for eigners as a resident of China, bnt as compared with the people of the great European powers, they like the Ameri cans. Whenever they ask a man of what nationality he is, and his answer is that he is an American, they at onoe exclaim, "We are friends."
