My friend: have you heard of the town of No-good, on the banks of the river Slow, where the Some-time-or-other scents the air and the soft Goeasvsgrow? It lies in the valley of Whats-the-use, in the province of Let-her-slide: it's the home of the reckless I-dont-ccre, where the Give-it-ups abide. The town is as old as the human race and it grows with the light of years; it is wrapped in the fog of the idler’s dream, its streets are paved with discarded schemesand arespnkled with useless tears.

Councilman Mjller Answers the Journal. Editor Democrat: I ask a small space in your columns to answer what I consider a very unjust criticism of the city council in the Evening Journal of yesterday, in the head lines of which it says "the city council resolved extra and unnecessary expense upon the taxpayers”. Now they do not say what they mean by this, but as the only extra expense that was voted was the employment of an assistant to the electric light line man, I presume this is what they term unnecessary expense. Taking this view of the question I will say that the last place that criticism should come from would be from a republican, and especially from a paper in which the only republican mayor we ever had is interested as proprietor, for while this same mayor was presiding over a republican council they employed two men at all times to do the same work which the present council has been requiring one man to do. But as the days are very short and the walking bad it makes the work too much for one man and the council thought it light to employ a man temporarily to assist the line man until such time as the weather gets so that he can do the work himself, without imposing too much of a burden on one man. 1 trust I have said enough at this time and all I ask is for republicans to withhold their criticism until the present council becomes more extrai agant than the late republican council, at which time it will be necessary for us all to criticise. But I want to say that whenever such unjust charges as these are made you will hear from me every time. ’ Lewis <’■ Mu- lek - Decatur, Ind.. Dec. —, 1898. Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can’t get a better price for it. Xns As there is no difference m the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits maylie smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best ? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to lie tried and the public both will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the (letter one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, the people have lieen using it for years and have found that it can always lie depended upon.
