With all his crimes lie is a human still, for he thinks of his mother and his once happy home; and, listening, we hear these words murmured out through the prison bars "Mother, dear mother, the years have been long Since I hist hushed to your lulaby song; Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem. My horrible fate has been but a dream." The mother rocks to and fro in her poverty-stricken home, mourning for the son who was once the pride of her heart. These pictures remind ine of that other picture of lite the slave mother fleeing through the swamps with her babe clasped in her arms, which she presses closer to her heart with a horrible fear when she. hears the bloodhounds in pursuit.

The slave mother had her chili! sold from her arms, while the white mother has her child torn from her arms; and if she dares call for justice, she is answered by the lash of slavery. Are we a free people and suffer such dishonor? You need not go to a heathen land to see a mother throw her child to the crocodile. We have mothers in our own land who are compelled to throw their girls and boys to the crocodile every year, and all to satisfy the capitalists of our country. Experience has taught us that everything that has ever been done for the interests of the capitalist, has only linked the chains of slavery around the tolling masses, and all the way wn have of judging the future is by the past. The millionaires have always been united together in their interests, and the common people must all unite together or they never will win success.

The advice of Dunglison, an accepted medical authority, is perhaps well worth preserving. He says: "The patient should be taken to a cool and shady place.

All tight clothing should be removed at once from the neck and chest. While waiting for a physician give the patient cool drinks of water, or cold black tea or cold coffee, if able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge it with or pour cold water over the body and limbs, and apply to the head pounded ice, wrapped lu a towel or other cloth.

I desire to call the attention of the farmers of Franklin county and vicinity to the fact that I have established an agency in Ottawa for the purpose of loaning a trust fund on improved farm property and can mak'e more advantageous rates than any mor.gaga company.

Some of these advantages are: I loan sums of S300 and upward. Money promptly obtained. The borrower lias the privilege of paying any amount on his mortgage at any time, without extra charge, and the interest is stopped on the amount paid at date of payment. The note is dated on the day the money is received by the borrower, and note and interest are made payable at any bank designated by the bor rower. The borrower pays his interest an nually (not semi-annually) and chooses the time of year to pay.

His mortgage is not "hawked" about the world, but remaines in the trust fund. These terms make it possible for farmers to borrow money and hold their corn. An increase of 25 cents a bushel (which increase is bound in every period of three years) will pay back the entire loan and cost of carrying it five years. Call on or address me at Ottawa. J.
