If Grocers Were Publishers.

This life is ill assorted, and the devil is to pay. When my magazine subscription expires the publisher continues to force his periodical on me,, backed up by some law which says that so long as I accept it I am his debtor. Why is there not a law which operates to my good, instead of to my hurt? Why does not my grocer continue to send sugar, coffee, butter, etc., when my money gives out and I make no renewals. —New York Press.

HOLIDAY TRADE IS RATHER EASY

Usual Lull in Speculation, With Christmas Goods in Big Demand. FAVORABLE COTTON FEATURE Exports to China Relieve Long Period of Stagnation in’That Line —Woolens Are in Good Request at Steady Prices—Wool 1$ Strong. “Trade and speculation experienced the customary holiday quiet, except, in Chrjstmas goods, which sold freely, many packing and shipping departments being still engaged on this class of work, which could not be completed at the specified time. Industrial undertakings are interrupted in many cases by the taking of inventories, while other plants are closed because fuel cannot be obtained. “Orders still come forward freely, and the new year will open with more business on the books than ever before. Prices of commodities are firmly held by the steady domestic demand, and there is a good export movement of the leading staples. In this as in many other instances, however, there is still the drawback of inadequate transporting facilities, which restrict shipments to the seaboard.” R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade makes the foregoing summary of the industrial situation, and, continuing says: iron and Steel. “Financial conditions are satisfactory. “Quiet conditions in the iron and steel industry, unaccompanied by any sign of weakness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest a bright outlook for the coming year. “Foreign pig iron is offered slightly below domestic quotations, but neither imported nor home-made iron is available for immediate use in large quantities. “New England shoe factories are in full operation and have liberal orders on hand. Quotations are firm, but without change. Leather dealings have been restricted less than usual by the holidays, shoe manufacturers coming into the market for large quantities of hemlock sole. Demand for Cotton. “An unexpectedly favorable feature has appeared in the market for cotton goods. After a long season of stagnation in the export division, the demand for China suddenly became considerable, notwithstanding the depression in silver and liberal stocks of cottons in Shanghai. Collections are satisfactory, both at the mills and with jobbers. “In woolen goods there is a good demand, overcoatings providing the chief feature, but cloak manufacturers have also bought freely, especially of lightcolored lines. Woolen and worsted dress goods are quiet, but steady, and light supplies sustain flannels. Wool is strong, with a further advance anticipated next year. “Failures for the week numbered 200 in the United States, against 250 last year, and twenty-one in Canada, compared with twenty-three a year ago.”

CATTLE ARE DYING BY THE THOUSANDS

Fearful Loss of Stock Is Reported From Ranges in Northwestern Colorado. Denver special: Thousands of cattle are starving on the ranges in northwestern Colorado. Their owners have been appealed to by the humane society, but have answered that they are eager to save their stock if they can, as a matter of business, as well as humanity, but that they cannot do IL The cattle are snowed in on the high range in Routt and Rio Blanco counties, without pasture and without water. It is impossible to get feed to them, and equally impossible to drive them Into suitable winter quarters. The replies to letters sent out as a result of investigations by Agent Kerr are all of the same tenor. If the humane society can suggest a way to save the animals the owners will be only too glad to avail themselves of it. Because of the lack of pasture elsewhere, thousands more than the usual number of cattle were turned out in the highlands of northern Colorado.

BOYCOTT DIVORCEES.

Protestant Ministers Refuse to Perform Marriage Ceremonies. Washington dispatch: When divorcees desire to remarry they must go outside of Washington to find a clergyman to perform the ceremony. All the ministers of the Protestant denominations in this city have agreed to institute a boycott against divorced persons bent on trying matrimony again. As the Roman Catholic clergy are bound by their church laws not to administer the sacrament of marriage to divorced persons the divorcees must go to a justice of the peace or other civil functionary when they desire to marry. The first case of the working of the boycott came to light when a couple from Virginia were compelled to return unmarried to that state after trying more than half the clergy in the town. The boycott is made sure in its operation by the new law by which marriage II censes are issued direct to the officiating minister.

She died while the physician was trying to relieve her sufferings. She revived long enough, however, to say the single word, “salts," in response to, the doctor’s questioning as to what she had taken. The physician who was called believes that the couple took oxalic acid, mistaking it for salts.

Finding that this was tlie case, he administered the customary chastisement. “Next day he once more chanced to go to the same room, and opening the door suddenly, was amazed to see the dog standing on his hind legs against the bed, and industriously blowing upon the place where he had been lying, obviously with the view of cooling it.

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME

ARE NEVER WITHOUT PERUNA IN THE HOUSE FOR CATARRHAL DISEASES.

MR. AND MRS. J. O. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE, MO.

UNDER date of January 10, 1897, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: "My wife had been suffering from a complication of diseases for the past 25 years. “Her case had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. '' She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman — change of life, In June, 1895, I wrote to yon about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. “About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years’ standing. At times I was almost past going. I commenced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. " Your remedies do mil that you claim for them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna Is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies. ” John O. Atkinson.

In a letter dated January 1, 1900, Mr. Atkinson says, after five years' experience with Peruna: * * I will ever continue to speak a good word tor Peruna. la my rounds as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and have induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the most satisfactory results, lam still cured of catarrh. John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrhal di*> oases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains Jwhy Peruna has become so indispensable to old people Peruna is their safe-guard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that meets these cases exactly. Such cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic rdtaedy could cure them This is exactly what Peruna is. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis Address Dr' Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
