Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. It must take a hero to play chepa on a real hot day. A naan who goes visiting and takes several hats along must not have much else to do. When a man comes back to his old home visiting he pretenda that he goes to the post-office every day in order to get a letter from his wife. If a man uses your pen, he never puts it back where he got it. We always like a poor breakfast on Thanksgiving day, because it gives one such an appetite for dinner. One man’s downfall nearly always means another’s advancement. How mad it makes us, after a long drouth, to see a man come along carrying an umbrella at the least sign of rain. Most people are nothing but affectation. A man feels like congratulating him self when he refuses to bite on a fool scheme. When a lot of old men get together they talk only about the things they used to do, and not a word about what they intend to do. It is astonishing the number of relatives of a rich man that bob up after his death. A lot of old men never stand around together without getting into an ar gument. In a country town, everybody looks out when the bus goes past. The peple who talk the loudest about it are frequently making but a short journey on the cars.

BACKACHE Is only one of many distressing symptoms which point to the presence of womanly diseases. If women thoroughly understood the relation of the local womanly health to the general health, they would understand that _. backache, headache, nervousness, sideache, dizziness, faintness and tjK similar feminine ailments, cannot be cured until the womanly health is established. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures diseases peculiar to wornen. It establishes regularity, dries the drains which weaken women, SHHHk heals inflammation and tßgalgiigjy. ulceration, and cures BMBBmMK female weakness. In HHu9H curing these local diseases, it cures the ailments which they a cause; backache, headache, sideache, dizzi- fIHK ness, faintness, nervousness, and other peculiarly feminine. "I wrote you for advice February 4th, 1806,» writes TBucBSH Mi*.

I Coughed “ I had a most stubborn cough for many years. It deprived me of sleep and I grew very thin. I then tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and was quickly cured.’’ R. N. Mann, Fall Mills, Tenn. Sixty years of cures and such testimony as the above have taught us what Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral will do. We know it’s the greatest cough remedy ever made. And you will say so, too, after you try it. There’s cure inevery drop. Three sizes: 25c., enough for an ordinary cold; 50c., Just right for bronchitis, hoarseness, hard colds, etc.; sl, most economical for chronic cases and to keep on hand. J. C. AYER CO., Lowell, Mass.

People in a country town like to talk loud about taking a berth in the “Pullman” when.they go away on the cars. Lots of times a man will study a long time to think of a fool story that is not worth remembering. Lots of delegates to a Farmer’s Congress couldn’t raise beans. It will always look funny to see a male cook reading over a cook book. What has become of the old-fash-ioned barber who used to ask you if you would have a little oil on your hair? Usually the cheapest skate nowadays wears a speckled vest and shoes with cloth tops. Some men are all right till you stit them up on some grievance, and then you can’t shut them off. People getting off the cars at the smallest station frequently take up the most tube. Anybody can hit the nail on the head if he is willing to use a sledge hammer, that is, if he doesn’t care what he says. Folks remember so many things that are wrong. A man is always surprised when the truth works better than a lie. Sometimes a so-called “old family” gets a decidedly fresh son-in-law. Some folks will tell you what others have said about you in order to tell you slyly what they themselves think.

Health and Beauty.

A poor complexion is usually the result of a torpid liver or irregular action of the bowels. Unless nature’s refuse is carried off it will surely cause impure blood. Pimples, boils and other eruptions follow. This is nature’s method of throwing off the poisons which the bowels failed to remove. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers are world famous for remedying this condition. These stimulate the liver and nromote regular and healthy action of the bowels but never cause griping, cramps or distress. Safe pills. A. F. Long.

A Widow’s Offers of Marriage.

In a mining center some eighty miles from Coolgardie, in Western Australia, a carpenter died, and hia widow had offers of marriage from the doctor who attended the deceased, the undertaker, the clergyman who read the burial service, the local apothecary who made up the medicines and prescribed for the departed and the custodian of the cemetery where he was interred; likewise from about a score of mine managers and miners. She did not accept one of the suitors and departed for her home in Melbourne.

A Cantilever Bridge In Alaska.

The White Pass and Yukon Railway company has just finished a cantilever bridge over the White Pass canyon 850 feet in length, with a clear span of 240 feet, and 275 feet high above the bottom of the canyon in the middle. The everlasting ice had to be quarried away for the supports of the bridge. When tested with the weight of a massive rotary snowplow and two engines coupled together, there was a total downward deflection in the middle of the bridge of hut five-eighths of an inch.

Colorado’s Flower.

Among the sessions laws of Colorado is the following: Section 1. The white end lavender colutnbine k hereby made and declared to be the state flower of the state of Colorado. Sec. 2. Whereas, in the opinion of the general assembly, an emergency exlßts, therefore this sot •hall be in force from and after its passage. By this prompt action the stata was saved from insidious propaganda in favor of other flowers.

Slgnt. "Does you b’lieve in signs ?’* asked Miss Miami Brown. “ ’Deed I does,” answered Mr. Erastus Pinkley. "If I had my way, ev’y chicken coop would have a sign on it, so’s we wouldn’t lose so much time locatin’ ’em.”—Washington Star. Manners. Auntie—Don’t you know, Bobbie, that it’s very bad manners to put your knife in your mouth ? Bobbie—Don’t you think, auntie, that it’s very bad manners to stare at your guests when they’re eating?

Mistress—Mary, you had a man in the kitchen last evening. Was he a relative of yours or a friend? Maid—Neither, marm; he was only just my husband —Boston Transcript.

An Ancient Foe To health and happiness is Scrofula—as ugly as ever since time immemorial. It causes bunches in the neck, disfigures the skin, inflames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weakens the bones, reduces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity for recovery, and develops into consumption. “ A bunch appeared on the left side of my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced, and became a running sore. I went into a general decline. I was persuaded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken six bottles my neck was healed, and I have never had any trouble of the kind since.” Mrs. K. T. Snyder, Troy, Ohio. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pitls will rid you of it, radically and permanently, as they have rid thousands.

For the benefit of young men with ambitions, we publish the following from an exchange; “H. N. May, trainmaster of the Pan Handle at Logansport, states that the company wants to employ 25 or 30 young men for road and yard brakemen.

Applicant shall address Mr. May in his own hand writing, enclosing a two cent stamp.”

It is said the Wallace show which exhibited in Rensselaer last summer has closed one of the most lucrative seasons in its existence, Having cleared $276,000. Ben Wallace, the proprietor, has become one of the wealthiest men in this part of the state in the last few years through his circus. He has been investing considerable money in Miami county realestate from year to year, and now owns about a mile square of excellent land along the Mississinewa river, near Pern. He hasalso just finished spending $40,000 for interior decorations at his home. His home is probably the finest inside of any in this state. From the outside, however, it is very ordinary in appearance.

The expenses incurred in tho irial and conviction of Leon F. Gznlgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, was $1,790 60. Of this sum's6oo was paid the attorneys who defended him; SI,OOO was paid the alienists who examined him; $144 was paid the deputies who guarded him; S3O was paid for the pictures taken, ami there is a bill of $119.50 for the transportation of Czolgosz and his guards to Auburn. This bill, it. is expected, the state will pay.

Congressman Crum packer, the Indiana congressman who had the cour age to stand by his convictions, is to be renominated by the Republicans of the Tenth district by acclamation, and there is not even any talk of his having opposition. In the long run the people of any community admire a man better than a coward.—Rich mond Item.

A Crown Point paper stages that Charles Vickory, the old man who died recently in Barkley township without disclosing hiH previous history, was a resident of that city up to five years ago at different periods. While there he worked at a hotel and at that time received letters from relatives.

RUSSIANS SENT HOME.

A Partial Settlement Has Been Reached in Sugar Beet Trouble. Lowell Souvenir. Yesterday the Central Sugar Company shipped the Russian laborers and their families who have been employed in the company’s beet fields about Shelby during the past season back to their homes in Nebraska. They were sent by special train over the three I and Burlington roads to Lincoln, and the composite ticket on which they traveled cost the company $1,600. The claims for wages were settled and paid on Wednesday, with the excepiion o» 25 per cent, or less, which balance is promised them from the proceeds of the sale of the lie. t sugar now being manufactured at Benton Harbor. The laborers receive sl7 per acre for bunching, tnincing, hoeing and harvesting the crop, but no time was set in their contracts for the payment of tlie last seven-dollar installment. There was a provision that the families should be returned to N - braska before Janusry Ist, 1902 The work of harvesting was com pleted five weeks ago, since whion time the men have been idie. During this long wait they became discontented and importunate for the balance of their pay and transportation home. Reports began to be circulated that the company was in a financial difficulty, and tins was confirmed by the news that the president was an embezzler for a large amount. Creditors commenced crowding on ev ry side as is usual in such cases. The laborers, fearing they woul 1 be left stranded here without employment during the winter, began suit to recover the balance due them and obtained judgments. Immediate executions were issued and all personal property of the company discovered was levied upon. In addition,to these other suits were commenced by creditors in the upper courts which are still pending. Meanwhile Messrs. Myers and Tully, of the company, obtained from the factory an advance upon the beets with which to pay the laborers. A private check for that purpose was issued by Mr. Tully to the order of Mr. Myers on a fund in a Chicago bank and deposited by the latter in the State National Bank here. No sooner had this been done than a creditor under an order of attachment garnisheed the latter bank. On the heels of this report it was learned that the fund in the Chicago bank had been withdrawn before the payment of the oheck here, which would go to protest upon presentation there. The purpose of paying the laborers through the bank here thus being obstructed, their attorneys, S. C. Dwyer and John Sink were called to the city and payment made there. J. W. Belshaw acted for the sugar company in the settlement. It is understood that if the company had not become involved through the mismanagement of its president, all

HICK A DOG Kick a dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him. The more you kick the more he bites and the more he bites the more you kick. Each makes the other worse. A thin body makes thin blood. Thin blood makes a thin body. Each makes the other worse. If there is going to be a change the help must come from outside. Scott’s Emulsion is the right help. It breaks up such a combination. First it sets the stomach right. Then it enriches the blood. That strengthens the body and it begins to grow new flesh.

An Evangelist’s Story.

“I had suffered for yep,rs with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various remedies but did not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough C re,” writes Rev. James Kirkman, evangelist of Belle River, 111. “I have no hesitation in recommending it to all sufferers from maladies of this kind ” One Minute Cough Cure affords immediate relief for coughs, colds and all kinds of throat and lung troubles. For croup it is unequalled. Absolute ly safe. Very pleasant to take, never fails and is really a favorite with the children. They like it. A. F. Long.

College Bred Negroes.

An inquiry into the pursuits of college bred negroes received 1,312 replies. Of this number one-half are teachers, one-sixth preachers, one-sixth students and professional men, 6 per cent farmers, artisans and merchants and 4 per cent in the government service. The teachers, if competent, are all needed, but the number of mechanics, farmers and trades is significantly small. The failure to engage in trade may not be altogether voluntary, but the disposition to crowd the professions is as evident as among whites and with less chance of success.—Louisville Courier-Journal. A new ordinance In Philadelphia' prohibits the placing of loose circulars under doors, in vestibules, on doorsteps, front porches, or doorknobs.

It Was Too Close.

“Yes, I once got the nomination and ran for a state senatorship In Nevada," said the colonel, “but It is a matter of history that I didn't get there.” “You were on the wrong ticket?” was asked. “It would have been the right ticket to win on if I hadn't made a fool of myself. One day. when some of our own boys broke loose and began to shoot the heels off my boots and the cigar out of my mouth, I lost my nerve and jumped Into a doorway, and It didn’t take ten minutes to count up my votes on election day.”

Saved His Life.

“I wish to say that I feel I owe my life to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,” writes H C. Chrestenson of Hayfield, Minn. “For three years I was troubled with dyspepsia so that I could hold nothing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of food. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your advertisements on Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit my case and commenced its use. I began to improve from the first bottle. Now lam cured and recommend it to all.” Digests your food. Cures all stomach troubles. A. F. Long.
