There are others of the same opinion. Mies Helen Gould is a philosopher. Two hundred discharged volunteers and regulars still remain at her ex* psnse at what is familiarly known as "Fort Gould,” in New York, and they are said to show no inclination to re turn to their homes or to seek em* ployment as long as she feeds, sbel* ton and olotbes them The other day a friend suggested to Miss Gould that her chargee wore imposing upon her generosity. “Well,” she replied, “I don’t mind, if I don’t know it. If they do not deserve what I do for them, it is their fault, not mine." A minister in Atlanta has just di« vioed a scheme which will doubtless add much to the revenues of his church. Last Sunday the six staid and sober sided deacons were super* oedod by a like number of pretty girls, who handed around, the baskets. Young men and timid bachelors, who had praviously been in the habit of dropping their small coins in the plate, began to search nervously for quarters and half dollars. The whole plan was executed in the gravest and. '* most dignified way, and the young ladies gave all a chance to show their generosity. The collection, naturally turned out to be one of the largest on record. c.a.sTom.a., Bean the IM KiM Yw Hare Always BMjk! IMeeate Tour Bowels With raecarosa.

What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so of ten expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills ev ery wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every , part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain 1 in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up ' many times during the night. The mild i and the extraordinary effect of Swamp- Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases.

' ■“■““THE ' MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO. OF NEW YORK. Breaks The Dividend Record. It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars 1 of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in-1 stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: I Mr. Banks was insured for Io nn I The dividends amounted to ..12,Ur0-w 1 Paid to the estate I How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and I he did this for fifty-tour years. He dia not utilize any portion of the divi-1 dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount t 5 -00 - Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life I Original insurance in 1845, I Dividend additions paid in 1898, . I Amount of death claim I 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,b40.0v I Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,388 00 I Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (211 P®* I cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from $5,014) I ■ at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 189 per cent, of all the premiums I paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the i power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment—a result that has never been eque.lled by a policy holder in any other company in the world. * , For best plans of insurance please consult me. _A_.

A prominent New York physician in discussing the merits of Ripans Tabules with a brother M. D. said: “ Several years ago I asserted that if one wished to become a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed— one that would help the whole hu man race—nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, which is the basis •f ths Rifans Tabulss, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup and distributed among the poor. Sales Increasing. The largest retail drug store in America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went thare to learn how Ripans Tab ules were selling bought a flve-csnt carton and asked: ••Do you have much call for these?” He was referred to a gentleman who proved to be the head of the depart ment. He said: •‘ The sale of Ripans Tabules is constant and is increasing, due especially to the influential character of the testimnmialp in the daily press, and growing out ynf there, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general. When once they are begun I notice that a perma- ?nt customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, is through their intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide character of the advertising. I think them specially useful in the general run of stomach troubles.” A aww«lyl»I»ekvtoontJnlßg Tn wo— V»4 !■ a P«v T **»*?■<»*>—*SM»>*» esv tor laloat «OOM ar-i- rtoreo—»ui rr» ■ ckstb.

An elderly lady living at Fordham Heights,/! part of New York City, and who' was known to be a warm advocate of Ripans Tabules for any case of liver trouble or indigestion, said to a reporter who visited her for the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: "I had always employed a physician and did so on the last occasion I had for one, but at that time obtained no beneficial re'-ulta. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the New York Herald con cluded to give them a trial, and found they were just what my case demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapers, but to do this the elder lady argued: “There nay be other -cases just like mine, and I am sure I take great pleasure in recommending the Tabules to any one afflicted as I vraa. If the telling about my case in the papers enables some other person similarly affected to be as greatly benefited as I have been. I see noobjection.” Th® daugh ters, knowing how earnestly iffle felt about the benefit she had retieived, decided sh® was quite right. saving of $2 a call. A dollar’s worth of Ripans Tabules lasts me a month, and I would not be without them now if it were my last dollar.” At the time of this inter view there wer® present two daugh ters who specimly I HAVE IN STOCK Eveiy day every thing you want in the way of Groceries and Fresh Meats at BOTTOM PRICES.
