Bryan Pilot Many people de-
cline to take a newspaper for the
reason that they have no taste for
reading, or have not time. In
most instances they have children
growing up who would be greatly
benefited by acquiring a habit Of
reading the newspapers, No
school can ever give 10 children so
great an insight into the ways of
the world and the current events
of the day. As they grow older
and go out into the world they will
be able to understand life as it is,
and successfully meet their duties
and. obligations to their tellow-men.
Too many parents allow their
children to read cheap novels and
other trash, thus filling their brains
with false ideas and causing them
to become weak, shIftless crea-
lures, ashamed OF honest labor,
and of no use to themselves or to
the community. A weekly paper
costs from three to five cents per
week, and the person who can not
get that amount OF good out of it is
indeed a queer-constructed mortal,
to say the least.

Baptist denomination, preached
last Sunday before the congrega-

that city, and prefaced his sermon
with a brief statement of his pres

the Bible at the head of the worlds
religious literature, but rejected
the traditional theories of "ne-
chanical and verbal inspiration !"
that, whilo recognizing the vast
superiority of Jesus, and the gran
deur of his character, he was COM
PEELED to withhold from him the
title of "Infinite and Eternal Cod"
and that he believed 'tfor oven the
least developed and poorest speci-
men of our race there is a better
outcome than an eternity of fire
and birthstone.

The Philadelphia Press has this
description of Miss Folsom, to
whom 1t is said the President is to
be married in June, from one of
her schoolmates at Aurora: "She
is tall and June-like in outline,
with soft brown hair, neither light
nor dark, which she wears cembed
loosely back from her face and
cooled high on her head. She has
a steady texture of skin and a
complexion of ivory whlteness, all
the red on her face glowing in her
full and beautiful lips. Violet blue
eyes, full round chin, well-sbaped
nose and a fine profile completes
the picture of her who was admit
ted to be one of the handsomest
girls in the college,"

In the dyspeptic stomach impure gases are
generated, after meals, that distend and dis
tress it, as well as the bowels. The best car,
INITIATIVE for cramps, colicky pains and heart,
burn OF bilious eructations, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Carbonate of soda and
effervescing aperients are far inferior to it in
efficacy, and as physicians now understand
impair the tone of the stomach Copious IL
bations of any sort are injurious to the stom-
ach, and to dilute its juices is certainly not
the way to increase their digestive usefulness.
Aided by the Bitters, the digestive organs,
when enfeebled and disordered, regain their
lost tone and regularly, not, of course. i'm

THERE has been q wonderful rush
of travel to Kansas lately, the
trains passing through Kansas City

WOMEN AND POOR HEALTH.

Multitudes of women lose health
and life every year in one or two
ways; by busylng themselves in a
warm kitchen until weary and then
throwing themselves on bed or
sofa without a fire; or by removing
the outer clothing, or perhaps
changing dress for one thinner as
soon as they enter the house after
n walk or shopping. The rule
should be to go to warm room
and keep on all the clothing for
five or ten minutes, until the fore
head is perfectly dry. In all wealth
er if you have to walk and ride
upon any occasion, it is better to
do the riding frst.-Hall's Joureal.

PARTY FEdLTY.

The tendency of political party
management is demoralizing, and
while we cannot hope to remedy
the evil, yet as public journalist
we propose to use what little in
fluence We have in battling against
political wrongs, no matter in what
party they may be found. 1t is
well enough Tor professional poll
ticIans-and the woods are full of
them-to appeal to the passions of
the people to induce them to sup
port certain measures upon the
plea that on their individual vote
depends the glory and welfare OF
the nation-that party treason is
disgrace and ruin but unless this
is made with the earnest convIc-
ton that the mon and measures adj
vocated are necessary to the pro-
motion of tho public good, 1t is
neither patriotic nor honorable, to
say the least of 1t. However, it is
Just in this manner that thousands
of men are enrolled in the political
parties of the country and made TO
do duty under leaders whose con-
troll Is absolute-the great majority
in some locations, having no intel
liglble idea of either tho men or
the measures for which they vote.
The ballot box furnishes American
citizens the means of determining
who shall be their rulers and law
makers. The casting of a ballot is
a very simple matter, but is fraught
with grave results; nevertheless it
is accompanied with vast amount
of political machinery and rrrUK-
cry, and frequently with regard
forneit her honesty or deccncy-
means not calculated to inspire
confidence in either the independ-
ence of intelligence of the people.
The political parties are necessary,
under free government, no one
will question and the more near
ly they are equal in numbers tho
purer will be these parties. The
natural tendency OF all monopolies,
whether IN politics or IN business,
is to corruption. That there should
be q certain amount of cohesive
ness in politics, thorough and sys-
tematic organizations, no one will
question, but all parties should be
held together by the announce
ment of principles which will COM
mend themselves to the reason and
intelligent apprehension of the
members of the party. But no
disreputabIo means should be used
to force obnoxious men or meas
ures upon the voter. A stolid ad-
herence to party, under any clr-
cumstances, is fraught with disas-
ter.
It's a well established truth that
there is no security outside of in
dividual freedom and as no lndI-
vidual person can control or regu-
late his own affairs without the
fullest exercise of freedom of both |
thought and action, subject only
to the laws ofproprlety and socie-
ty, neither can there be any purity
of action in party without the
freedom of thought and action of
its members, subject only to such
wholesome rules and regulations
as are necessary to secure the or
ganization and unity of the party.
Fealty to right should always be
superior, IN the mind of every
voter, to fealty to party.
