SHARP, DENTIST, MATSVII.I.K, GA. £S”Offlc; ov.r C. J. Garrison's Store. Too Sharp. One of the sharpest of the prover bially sliap Philadelphia lawyers has come to to grief. His vaunting am bition prompted him to leap so far that he came down outside the bar, and will be compelled to seek some other field than that of the legal pro fession wherin to exploit Ins redund ant acquisitiveness. The judge of one of the common pleas courts of Philadelphia has ordered tee name of this attorney stricken from the roll of lawyers practicing before that court, and this will be followed by similar action on the part of the judges of other courts, so that his professional career |may be considered to have passed into the domain of the uure lenting past. The incident ts worthy of record, not befause of one man’s disgrace, but because the practice that occasioned his downfall is not confined to one citv or to one state. He had a habit of drumming up business by unpro fessional methods, such as personal visits and the - euiployment of runners, and he invariably skinned his cus tomers. The direct cause of thi K overthrow, according to The Phila delphia North American, was the dis covery that out ot a verdict ot #3,000 secured bv one* of bis clients against the Utiitn Traction Company the eii..-ui had signed an agreement under which he was to aceept $l,OOO of the vei'cc am! the lawyer was to take the remainder. An investiga 1 ion, under fie o Lection ot the Law Association, showed that he made a practice of such methods. The North American states that he always required an agreement from clients that he should have half of all money secured by ver dicts, m addition to expenses, and it was shown that, the expenses usually ate up three-fourths of the clients portion under tlm ngteemontmrrther "words the expenses were purposely made large, and inmost c ises they were not of such a nature as would be allowed by any honorable courts. It should be not'ced, in justice to the profession, tl at the Philadelphia La . Association took up this a.so aud caused the disaster that happened to the greedy brother. If other ar as socL’ions would fallow that example .‘he great profession would be speedi !v rid of men who disgrace i f .—Ex “There’s no use in talking,’ says Y\. H Eroauwell, di uggist, La Cygne, Kas, “Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera und Diarrhoea Remedy does the. work. After taking medicines of my own preparation and those of others l took a dose of Chamberlain’s and :t helped me; a second dose cured me.

We are told that we ought to think twice before we speak, sometime we are advised if we a'*e feeling unkindly <o count ten before we open our mouth. Yet hasty words fly from our lips in the moment of excited feeling, and before we have tune to think twice 01 count half of ten the harm i done the keen word has flashed like a dart into some tender heart. These hastv words are sooker, too, most frequen - ly between those who love each other We control our speech fairly well when it is with strangers or 01 dinary acquaintances we are speaking; but with those we love the best we are less caretnl. W let our worry or our weariness make us irritabb-, and then we utter words which, five minutes afterward we would give all we have u recall. Hut such words never can b recalled.

Not what we say, dm what Hood’s Sarsaparilla Does, that kills the story of its merit and success Remember HOOD’S CURES. A VANITY BOOK. Pcffional Record Keeping Whose Interest l'lxcnses Its Vanity. In tbo beginning one’s parents must be the authors, or if the parents will not then some devoted aunt may win for herself the warmest thanks in years to come. When Heart's Delight came to earth somo 15 years ago, a substan tial volume was bought to he her hook. Into this went first tho genealogy of the family on father’s aud mother’s sides as far as there was knowledge of it. Pho tographs of great-great-grandparents, grandparents aud parents were inserted. The wedding dress of tho paternal grandmother was shown by a small piece, aud the maternal side was rich with bits of tho wedding dresses of mother, grandmother and great-grand mother. Photographs of father aud mother at the time of their marriage and when Heart's Delight was born were also added. To these wore addod one of the house aud tho room which the little maid made blessed by her coming. The announcement card went in and letters written for her welcome. Mamma wrote a description of tho won der, aud papa took her photograph. All this was for the beginning, but as mouths went on there was more to chronicle. Baby’s ways, the coming of her first tooth, her first word and w hen it was spoken, when she began to creep and then to walk—all these were re corded. Into tho book went, too, such treasures as the first sock, the first lit tle shoe, a picco of her first colored dress. Everything of whatever kind that marked a beginning found a per manent place in tbo Vanity Book, aud the story of the child’s life may be read therein. As the chilli developed tbo character of the items naturally changed. When showeut to school, her early efforts sup plied move material, sometimes in the shape of school work and sometimes as stories of childish temptations or griefs and joys. Heart’s Delight’s first letter is outered in the book. There aro so many tokens here that are treasures, more valuable as they grow older. Tbo first invitation to a party, the first theater programme, aud with this are other programmes of those things which have impressed tho ahild. Her first party dress, of course, was shown in the hook. Throughout the book aro photographs of Heart’s De light herself as she grew toward girl hood aud of the girls and boys who were her friends. Long ago the bookmaking fell into the hands of tbo girl herself, and she adds to it all that points to the story she is making. Everything of pleasure, of special benefit in her life, is to b 8 re called from this book, and even now sho prizes it abovo all her possessions. What will it bo to her when she is 50? What will it bo worth to her son or daughter when someone writes “Finis” to it fer her? What would yon not give for such a book left you by your mother or father? It would bo worth more than money. There is a great deal of pleasure to be found in making such a bock for oneself, though if ono begins it after childhood he loses much that went into tho little one’s book. It will become filled, how ever, with tho important things of life, each making these for himself. A vani ty book is one of tho best things in tho World to show how one’s ideas of values change and how life’s horizon expands. It records a life with some of those which preceded it aud gavo it its bent and those which accompanied aud do veloped it. Though it may be vanity, it is yet a vanity with a lesson.—New York Bun. The Apple DnmpHnff. Applo dumpling day was a red letter one in my boy’s calendar. When I had such a dainty bit in my bag, it seldom staid there many minutes. Although I had dispatched a hearty breakfast before starting, cut would come the dumpling. “Just to have a look at it and to see if it is as big as mother generally makes them,” I would say to myself. Then I would turn it about aud admire its size. From handling the dainty to tasting it was a sure process. “I’ll have one lit tle bite, only a nibble, ” I would say. When I had got my tooth into that dumpling, Adam with his apple wasn’t in it. It was a case of once bitten soon gone. Then I would hurry on to make up for my dawdling with only the hunk of barley bread in my wallet, the joys of tho dumpling behind me, and before mo tbo day’s drudgery, with per haps a thrashing in.—“Life of Jososh *-r~ u ” “Rust/’ the dread of the cotton grower, can be prevented. 1 rials a: Experiment Stations and tn experience of leading grower prove positively that Kainit is the only remedy.
