Great excitement has been caused In
the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re.
markable recovery of Mr.. j. r. Corley

in bed, or raise his head; everybody
said he was dying Of consumption. 4

cry was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought large bottle and box of DR..
Kings New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes Of pills aud two

sumption free at W. q. Patton d Cos.

The American Baby.

No doubt Grover Cleveland 40 Sum-
mers ago was fat baby in pink
calico sun bonnet, carried about by
admiring female friends, and there is
little doubt that the neighbors scoffed
at the idea of his being President when
fond grandmother declared that she
felt her bones a-tingle with such proph-
ecies.
Abraham Lincoln couldn't have been
q pretty baby, and Beecher was only
one of the feeble infants over whom
nurses solemnly queried II it was
6 worth while to try TO raise him."
A baby is good deal like an apple
sprout. You can't tell what sort of
fruit lis going to bear. and if a good
deal depends upon the stock no less
depends upon The care it gets. A man
simply locking at the growing pip can't
tell what it's coming to. You may ten
years hence pick iuicv Pol1ers from it,
and in forty odd Years ycu or yonr sons
may be begging that pug-uosed baby
for Post Office.
Nobody knows what tie American
baby viii turn ont or wtoM hel turn
out. but We'll give Linn smile and a
good word wherever We rnoe- HIM. Nay
his lungs never be weather, lis legs
never less sturdy, or his .aIL, less

Pay OF Congressman.

When q member dies bis pay ceases
on the day of his death. The salary Of
the successor commences the day after
the decease of the former member,
though the election may not occur for
several months. The new member, in
other words, draws pay for the time he
never served.
A member is allowed twenty cents
mileage each way, or forty cents mile
one way, and he can check for the full
amount Of both trips when he takes his
seat. He is allowed 1925 a year for
stationery. The most Of this sum is
pocketed.
The members draw their money In
different ways. There are probably
twenty of the present House who let
their salaries run into nest eggs.
There are couple Of dozen Of men,
bers who always overdraw, or, rather,
borrow from the head Of the bank.
They borrow or get in advance sums
ranging from 80 to $500, and at the
end of the month they have nothing.
The great majority of the members draw
all that is coming to them at the end Of
each month, particularly those who
have their families with them. Some Of
them never see an outside bank, but Let
their monthly salaries remain and draw
it out in small sums. Others take out
their salaries and place them in other
banks. But this is not done as much
as formerly. A number of them got
caught in the Middleton Bank that
broke some time ago.
Most of the members do all their
financial business over the counter Of
the Congressional bank, and some of
them pile checks up as high as $4,000
in a single session. = Washington

4 Paying Investment.

One of the best paying investments
We have heard of in this region in a
long time is that made by Henry Aldrich
of Galena.
A year ago, being out of health, he
leased twelve acres Of land for year for
$500. He planted it with peppermint
roots at cost of $3.50, and cultivated
and distilled the crop at an expense Of
1854 more - making the total outlay
$644.
In return he had 1868 pounds of pep.
permint oil, which he sold few weeks
ago for 81 pound, or 81, 452 for the
whole yield.
Then he sold ali the peppermint
roots on the land at fifty cents square
rod, or S7lS for the whole.
When he closed the books short
time ago he found that his total receipts
were S2,170, and his total disburse-
ments $S64-leaving profit of 81, 3Ot
for his little investment one year age
and few months labor-[Lyons IN.

He Let the Blessing Stand.

A young man with horse-blanket
trousers and mild blue eye was stand
ing on the corner of Park row and Beck
man shortly after midnight. An old
beggar with a red nose and fluent diction
came up and said:
Kind sir. starve and am sleepless.
Out OF thy bounty grant me two cents"
The young man gave him dime. The
beggar said:
Noble gentleman. May your cup of
happiness always be full and ever over
flow on your head. May your purse con-
stantly be replenished. May you live
long and have noble posterity."
He bowed low, and still holding the
ten-cent piece in his palm, crossed over
under the electric light. looked the dime
over carefully, and then bit it to see if it
was good. 1t was, and he did not recall
bis blessing.-[Sun.
