I Can do all My own Work ”1 feel it lay duty to tel! you what your medicines did for me,” writes Mrs. Blanche Marshall, of Whiting, Jackson Co., Kansas, Box 139. "I was severely afflicted with kidney trouble and female weakness. In- less than three months the trouble became so bad I could hardly walk around the house. I suffered almost everything. Seeing your advertisement in our paper concluded to write Dr. Pierce. After receiving your kind advice I immediately began taking your medicine. After taking two bottles of ‘ Favorite Prescription ’ alternately with two of 1 Golden Medical Discovery, ’ and using one box of ‘ Lotion Tablets ’ I am entirely cured. I can do all my own work without any trouble. _— I take great pleasure in recommending Doctor Pierce’s med- I f/ icines to all [lf Ift 111 , Suffering I women.” rlffr'i -f Wil , ff , Mr. ~MP f I

One of the best New Year resolutions made was that of a number of companies, including many railroads in the United States, to voluntarily, increase the wage scale of their employees. Heine, the poet, is said to have made a will ki which he bequeathed everything to his wife on the condi tion that she would marry again. He said that he wanted one man to regret his death. \ In many European countries a con flagration is a very expensive item even if the flames do little or no damage, because the owner of the endangered property Ijaa to pay the expense of the run made by the fire department. The Democratic members of Congress who are objecting to anti anarchy legislation because it is against state rights are putting that doctrine to a bad use. Actetnpts on the lives of national officers can be construed only as crimes against the nation. Not long ago there were many accounts of a contemplated European alliance against the United States, but just now it looks as if there were a number of countries that would like to make alliances with this country against some of their European neighbors. An Indianapolis statistican points out that the American baby has thirty million chances to one agatnst his becoming president of the United States, while the chances that he will not go -insane are only about 500 to 1. These figures will not, however, reduce what sociologists call the “beneficent fallacy” of parental hopes and pride. Many papers do not see the value of the Hoar resolution providing for 1 the presidential succession, in the ■ light of the act of Congress in 1886, ! which was supposed to have settled I the question. The Hoar resolution provides for the contingency of the removal of the president-elect, while I the former act had reference only to . the succession while the President was actually in office.

It is gratifying to note that among the famine conditions said tef be threatening other countries of the world, there are only two that are menacing the United States. One is a famine of railroad, to haul the cars, in spite of the increased mileage of the past few years, and the other .is a famine of cars to haul the produce, in spite of the fact that the shops are working night and day to make up the deficit. Secretary Gage served longer as ; the head of the Treasury Department' than any other man except Albert Gallatin and Alexander Hamilton. He held office nearly five years i Albert Gallatin served longest, nearly I twelve years, from 1801 to 1813. ' Alexander Hamilton’s term was a little over five years, from 1789 to 1795. Under Secretary Gage the revenues and expenditures in one 1 week exceeded those under Alexander Hamilton in a whole year. London furriers have discovered a way to make an almost perfect imitation of seal skin from the fur of a musk rat. It will be news to many : persons that the beautiful “seal , brown” of the popular seal skin coat is not the color of the seal at all, but a product of the dyer’s art. Seals are gray, and have long hair above the fur, which is plucked out by being pulled through from the under side the hair roots being deeper than the roots of the fur. The Hudson Bay Company, one of the most powerful factors in the colonization of America, is still in ex istence, and carrying on a profitable business for its members al ng the old lines of trapping, fishing and mining. The region around the great inland sea of the North still has twenty seven different kinds of fur bearing animals, and while these have formerly constituted the chief value of the country it is predicted that the country will soon be the scene of agricultural, and fishery interests. A Guilford, Me., young man, who has been in the way of writing a large number of letters for a special purpose within a short period of time had been in the habit of signing them, “Yours truly, George P. Jenks,” was called upon to make a prayer in social meeting. He made an eloquent appeal to the throne of grace and closed with, instead of the customary “Amen,” “Yours truly, George P. Jenks.” A man at the barber shop the other evening said that if he had a boy who was so “ornery” that he couldn’t do anything with him he would buy him a bronco and let him break it. After he had the horse broken he would either be a better boy or ho would be dead.

If a young man comes to your door and says, “Lady, here is a package for you,” smash the package over his head and turn the dog loose. For some time past some cheeky, insult ing scamp has been going about in neighboring towns, frightening women. He would wrap on the door and when it was opened say, “Here is a packr-ge for the lady of the house,” and delivering the package go away. In about an hour the fellow would return and finding the package, which usually contained a cheap picture, had been opened demanded pay for it. In a number of instances women have been frightened into paying for something they had not bought and did not want. A few killings ot impudent peddlers would be received with a relish.

Saved Him From Torture.

There is no more agonizing trouble than piles. The constant itching and burning make life intolerable. No position is comfortable. The torture is unceasing. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cures piles at once. For skin diseases, cuts burns, bruises and all' kinds of wounds it is unequalled J. S Gerall, St. Paul, Ark., says: “From 1865 I suffered with the protruding, bleeding piles and could find nothing to help me until I used DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. A few boxes completely cured me.” Beware of counterfeits. A. F. Long.

Dixon & .lessen have just completed a naw metallic toll line to Mt. Ayr, which is to connect with the Jasper County Telephone Co’s, lines. They have arranged to put in a first class exchange at Mr. Ayr, and will begin work on it as soon as the weather will permit.—Morocco Courier.

Barnum's Monkeys “Alb well —all happy—lots of fun”. That is the regular report from the monkey cage cf Barnum’s Circus ever since the keepers began closing the monkeys with Scott's Emui sion. Consumption was canying off two thirds of them every year and the circus I. ad to buy new ones. One day a keeper accidentally broke a bottle of Scott' Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very ’few deaths from consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott’s Emulsion than new monkeys— and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threaten-
