It’s a warning, too, which only the hazardous fail to heed./ Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Remove it, give new life, new courage, strength and animation.

William T. Hawkins and. Lemma M. Hanniford were united in marriage by Squire O. W. Bussell at McCoysburg Monday night of last week at 10 o’clock. The contracting parties are residents of the Gifford region, the groom being a section boss on the Gifford railroad.

The Monon, following regulations of some of the more important roads, has established a rule prohibiting drinking and intoxication among its employes. According to the rules, says an exchange, there must be no drinking on or off duty, and the regulation will effect every department of the road. One violation of the rule means suspension and repeated ones, dismissal from service. An official of the Monon says the rules will be strictly enforced against employes from bigh officials to section men.

One of the Morocco boys who went up to attend ihe recent K. of P. blowout in Chicago, asked an Irish policeman to direct him to the “Col-lizzy-yum.” “Oi take it now, me man, that yez main the Colly-see-urn, don’t yez?—Right up the strate three blocks. Yous air from Jasper county, oi see. How’s the hay crop?” A minute later the officer was heard to mutter to himself: ‘‘Ool-lizzy-yum! Moind thot now! Oi’ve a moind to folly his royal punkins and hand um wan on the coat-tails with me club.”—Morocco Courier.

There is something serious in the plain living prospect when potatoes and apples of local origin become luxuries of greater price in this market than oranges and bananas shipped thousands of miles away, says an exchange. There is something the mat ter with our producers, our soil workers when they cannot supply the home demand in vegetables and fruit. It will not do to lay everything to the drouth or to the seed or treeß. A lit tie more attention to these features of the agriculturist’s business is needed in this section of the country. And now “they do say” that a school teacher over in Washington township laid down on a bench last Monday noon and went to sleep. The scholars came in at a regular hour for the afternoon session but the teacher slept right on. For a while the scholars thought it quite funny to have their teacher snoozing thusly, but later on the matter became monotonous to them and they went to a neighbor’s house and telephoned to the trustee asking him what they should do. The trustee excused them for the afternoon and they, of course, scampered off for home. Imagine the teacher’s bewilderment when he awoke and found himself alone.— Kentland Democrat. Here is something from the Ram’s Horn that means all it says: “A dog hitched to a lawn moweijstopped pulling to bark at a passerby. The boy who was guiding the mower said: ‘Don’t mind the dog; he is just barking for an excuse to rest. It is easier to bark than to pull this machine.’ It is easier to be critioal than correct, easier to bark than work; easier to burn a house than to build one; easier to hinder than to help; easier to destroy reputation than build character Faultfinding is a? dangerous as it is easy. Anybody oan grumble, criticise or censure, like the Pharisees, but it takes a great soul to go on working faithfully and rise superior to it all.’’

A BAD LEAK IN THE TREASURY

The recent rise of Milton E. Ailes to the assistant secretaryship of the treasury pleased hosts of friends, and, to those familiar with his ability in fiscal administration, the salary attached to the office, $4,500 per annum, seems far from large, but to a certain old lady in Ohio the fact that the boy she used to know is now drawing that sum yearly will have all the force of a sensation.

“This dear old friend,” says Mr. Ailes, “knew me when I was a barefoot urchin, and it is well nigh impossible for her to associate me with public office. Her world has been a small one, the boundaries of the county have marked her most adventurous traveling, and when I go home and call on her my accounts of life in Washington, which I have to make exceedingly tame lest her wavering faith in my truthfulness he utterly destroyed, fill her with vast perplexity and apprehension for her country’s future.” Mr. Ailes paid this aged mentor a visit while he was private secretary to Secretary Gage. “Milton,” said she, “tell me honestly how much you get in your po- < Sition?” “Two thousand a year,” he replied. The good old soul gasped and all but fainted. Recovering, she exclaimed: .“Two thousand dollars! No wonder the United States isn’t able*to pay its national debtl”—Saturday Evening Post.

A West Point Critic.

Major Charles E. Woodruff of the medical department of the army, on duty at Fort Riley, Kansas, says that it ought to be reasonable to expect that a large proportion of West Pointers would become famous, or that at least some of them would become noted or successful in. life. “The fact is the very reverse occurs,” he says, “for it seems as though the best way to extinguish a man is to send him to West Point.” In the course of a paper which he has written on the subject he makes some interesting and original observations, among others that absolute discipline kills aggressive initiative; that scholarship is too often mistaken for ability; that the most successful military leaders have been noted for their ignorance of general topics and hatred of books, and that these Bame great military leaders are, as a rule, undisciplined and insubordinate in the lower grades. He says his object in presenting these facts is to show that the young man who graduates from West Point is a nervous wreck, and that, he goes to his duties as a commissioned second lieutenant in a state of collapse, worn out by hard work, ceaseless drills and pestered by the exactions of his military instructors, too often stunted into a uniformed mimic bearing a military title.—Leslie’s Weekly.

Rheumatism Cured in a Day.

Elections In Latin Countries.

“The elections in Havana and among the Spanish-American people of cities of Central and South America differ in a marked degree from those of the Anglo-Saxon nations, England and the United States.” This statement was made recently by Colonel Hickey, formerly of the staff of Major General Wood. “In Havana, for instance,” continued the colonel, “in a municipal election a half dozen candidates are placed before the people. Each is supported by a personal, not a political, following. The citizens do not split into two opposing factions, as is.the case in this country. It is not a question of parties so much as individuals with the Latin race. “This is one of the chief reasons that the republics of the Romance language are so unstable. For example, after a president has been inaugurated another man may rise and draw to himself, because of his strong personality, such a formidable following that an insurrection follows, with the result that the government is overthrown.”—New York Tribune.

Contains No Alcohol; No Drugs.

Radam’s Microbe Killer is com posed of pure water charged with the gases generated from the following ingredients: Flour of Sulpher, Nitrate of Soda, Black Oxide of Manganese, Sandal Wood and Chlorate of Potash. It is a positive and certain cure for all diseases and is guaranteed to be perfectly harmless. It will effect a cure in every instance if given a- fair trial. Testimoney of cores given under oath in the supreme court of New York City, substantiates the above. Ask yonr druggist for Microbe Killer.” Enlightened Science admits that all sickness is caused by living germs or microbes poisoning and wasting the blood, the tissues and the vital organs. Radam’s Microbe Killer kills all microbes without any injury whatever to the system. When you look over a crowd and see what ill shaped heads most people have, yon no longer wonder that so few know anything worth while.

For the Complexion.

The complexion always suffers from bilioasness or constipation Unless the boweis are kept open the impurities from the body appear in the form of unsightly eruptions. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troubles. C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., says: “I took DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for biliousness. They were just what needed. lam feeling better now than in years.” Never gripe or distress. Safe, thorough and gentle. The very best pills. A. F. Long. When a strange girl comes to town and chews a great deal of gum, not ranch else is expected of her.

A Good Hearted Man, or in 'other words, men with good sound hearts, are not very numerous. The increasing number of sudden deaths from heart disease press, is proof complaint, and as no one just when a - fatal collapse A. Kreamer. will occur, the danger of neglecting treatment is certainly a very risky matter.

Kreamer of Arkansas City, Kans., says: ,“My heart was so bad it was impossible for me to lie down, and I could neither sleep nor rest My decline was rapid, and I realized I must get help soon.

BRIGHT’S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for a prescription, changed hands in San Francisco, Aug. 30,1901. The transfer involved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and was paid by a party of business men for a specific for Bright’s Disease and Diabetes, hitherto incurable diseases. They commenced the serious investigation of the specific Nov. 15,1900. They interviewed scores of the cured and tried it but on its merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got physicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with the physicians for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either well or progressing favorably. There being but thirteen per cent of failures, the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceedings of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will be mailed free on application. Address John J.
