Put a Brand on Him.

"Women are necessary evil, he said, bring
ing down his fist hard on the counter to empha-
size the heartless remark. 1t was in the village
store at West Milton, Saratoga county, and the
speaker was the central figure of group of bu-
cholic philosophers. He was homely, sloyenly
and sixty. There's where differ from you al
together" said Mr.. George I. Graham, OF the
same place. women are mostly what men
make 'em. When husbands are brutes wives
will fall into submission or make home hot for
the men and they're unnatural in either char
acter. Love them, and especially be good to
them when they're sick, and you'll have no
trouble. There's my own wife, now. She's suf-
fered good deal with dyspepsia, nervous pros
tration and other ailments that took the bloom
off her cheeks and the spring out of her steps,
Well, she saw an advertisement OF PARKER's
Tonic, and thought 1t would be Just the thing
for her case. Gentlemen sent five miles after
So several times. Trouble? Why, if you could
see how much good it has done her you would
say that women are the greatest of Gods bless
ings, and PARKER'S Tonic is the next,
This preparation which has been known as
Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parkers Tonic. This change has been
rendered necessary by substitutesimposed upon
their customers by unprincipled dealers under
the name OF ginger; and as ginger is really an
unimpOrtant fayoring ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There Is no change, however, in the prepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name OF
PARKERS GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine If the fac smile signature of HIsCox

The Chesapeake and Ohio and South

The Chesapeake and Ohio and South
western Railroad Company has purchased
fifty acres Of land in Paducah KY, and
will Immediately erect thereon machine
and boiler shops and engine houses with
25 stalls, and will, within year, give en-
employment to 1900 men. The city sub
scribed $4,000 to secure the location of
the shops. So says the Rail,rdy Age.
1t would be well enough for the cor
porate authorities of Paducah to see to it
that there is no flaw in the contract about
what the Chesapeake and Ohio and South
western is to do. Staunton donated to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad property
that would now bring at least $4,000, on
pretty much similar conditions. If we
remember right 25 stalls were to be the size
of the engine house-a large number of
hands, probably as high as 1900, was ex-
pected by the citizens to be employed and
big calculations were based upon the re-
suit of the donation. Unfortunately for
the city the deed of conveyance of the
property stipulated for no protection to its
rights, in the event of the Railroad Com
pany failing to comply with it's part of the
contract. This it did, in great measure.
The engine house was never completed as
contemplated few hands
are employed ere-only for repairs we be-
believe, and the entire operations of the
company far short of what was expected
when the land was donated. But the city
has no recourse. The deed of conveyance
was absolete. The company has the prop
erty. The city has not the workshops and
engine house, nor the employees which
were understood at the time the gift was
made, would be placed here in return. 1t
was great oversight on the part of the
City Council in making the deed as it did.
1t should have reserved the right to re-
possess the property in case Of default on
the part of the company. This it did not
do. Yet we do not know but what court
of equity would not yet correct the wrong,
were all the facts presented to it and its
adjudication asked. AS it is, we suggest
to the good people of Paducah not to put
their trust in princes, or railroad corpora
lions, unless they have the law so tight
and close on them that there is no posi-
bility of escape from their obligations.
Staunton has the value of sharp practice,
as well as misplaced confidence, and Pa
ducah may find herself in the same plight
il care is not manifested.

The Highest Education.

There is great deal that is wrong in
our modern method of education. 1t
teaches man to be Il gentleman, but yet
does not give him the power Of making q
living. 1t stuffs him with facts and mean
ingless words, phrases and theories. but
does not enable him to think for himself
and become a man in the highest and best
sense. His education is too general and
not practical enough All classes should
he taught that Peruna. the great remedy
compounded by DR.. Hartman, is the very
thing needed for the restoration of health
and the toning mp of the body. Being
composed of pure vegetable substances
and containing no poisonous minerals, they
are Just the thing for all classes of people.
and all should learn at once that it is 10
their interest to inquire into the merits of
these medicines. for therein lies the high
est education. Ask your druggist for Pc
