A marvelous invention. Wonders never cease. A machine has been in vented that will cut, paste and hang wall paper. The field of inventions and discoveries seems to be unlimited.

This is a presentation of the non-striking miner’s side of the case. Itis not an argument however. Mr. Baker simply went to the coal regions to inves tigate andsiudv the lot of the “Scab" during the strike. The result is an amazing series of stories gatherer! at first hand, which the author wisely leaves to speak for themselves. But in collecting them. Mr. Baker has done a great service. Rather a good-looking well-to-do bachelor, of Kendallville, who has lieen teased by the young women of a certain club in that place for not marrying, offerer! to make the girl whom the club should elect his wife, just to show them that he was not averse to matrimony. Each girl went to a corner and wrote her choice on a piece of paper, disguising her hand writing. There were nine members of the club, and the result showed one vote for each. The young man is still a bachelor, but the club is broken up and its members are all mad at each other. Dislocated her shoulder. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a liottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep, which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by Holthouse Drug Co., j
