Log CABIN Success.

What ails the young men?
Robert Garrett's father left him for
tune of twenty millions. He was from
childhood reared in luxury; he received
splendid education with on especial train
ing into thorough knowledge of railroad
management and was expected to succeed
his father as a railroad king.
Within three years after the response
bilities which his fathers death threw
upon him were assumed he is reported a
broken down man, with mind and health
permanently shattered.
George Law is another young man left
with millions of money, who is reported
among the "wrecks." His father, bred a
stone mason, was of gigantic size and
strength, with commensurate brain power,
so he became a great contractor, then
railroad king and left half dozen mil
| lions for his son to dissipate. The young
man is success as a dissipater.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks of life, grew strong, mentally and
physically, by simple living and honest
labor aud developed into financial giants
Their sons were reared in the lap of lux-
ury and developed into intellectual pig
mics.
The great men OF our country have not,
| as a rule, ccme from the elegant mansions
of the cities, but from the log cabins of
the rural districts. Simple ways of living,
freedom from dissipation and enervating
pleasures, simple remedies for disease,
effective and which leave no poison in the
system, develop brgwny, brainy men, who
compel the world to recognize their
strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and surest
for family use. Our grsndmothers knew
how to prepare the teas and syrups of
roots, herbs and balsams which drive dis
ease out of the system by natural methods
and leave no after i'll effects. The most
potent of these old-time remedies were,
after long and searching investigation,
secured by H. H. Warner, of safe cure
fame, and are now put out for the "heal-
ing of the nations" in the Warmers Log
Cabin remedies.
Regulate the regulator with Warmers
Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with pure
blood giving health, strength, mental and
bodily vigor, you may hope TO cope sue
cessfully with the most gigantic financial
problems of the age, without wrecking
health and manhood.

She also has little boy, aged Z, whom
she says she left at home last afternoon
to take care of the house, and his mother
not returning must have caused the little

many opinions from leading experts and
wood working firms throughout the

unqualified endorsement in regard to the
manner they constructed the doors

latest endorsement is from the
United States government inspt c.
or of furniture and woodwork,
and it is as follows:
"Several years experience in the manu-
facture of hard wood doors and articles of
like nature has convinced me, beyond the
question of a doubt, that doors made by
veneering Il inch to 5-16 inch hard wood
on white pine cores are better in every
way than those made of two thicknesses of
hard wood screwed together. They are
less liable to warp, are lighter and free
from the DETACHMENT caused by plugs. 1

Emerson on BonaparGe.

Fvr The Statesman.
Ralph Waldo Emerson in his lecture on
"Great Men," declares that Napoleon b.
naparte was the representive of
democracy. OF course he does not mean
democracy in a partisan sense, such as
distinguishes the oldest political party of
this country, but democracy as the under
lying sentiment of the largest liberty to
the largest number of men compatible
with an organized form of government.
Emerson is as much mistaken in this
assertion as he is in many other assertions
in his yoluminous disquisition on men and
aft airs.
He might just as reasonably and log
ically have declared that the cyclone was
the mere representative of the summer
breeze that stirs the leaves into monody
of gentle music.

Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the surplus in the
United States treasury engages the atten-
ton of our statesmen, but a more vital
question has our attention, and that is the
reduction of the surplus consumptives.
Since the discovery and introduction of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton there has been a marked decrease in
the mortality from this dreaded disease,
and it is possible to still further reduce
the number of consumptives. How? By
keeping constantly at hand bottle of
DR.. Kings New Discovery and using &C
cording to directions, upon the appear
ance of the first symptoms, such as a
cough, a cold, sore throat, a chest or
side pain. Taken thus early a cure is
guaranteed. Trial bottles free at Morley
Bros. drug store.

relative merit of solid AMI veneered
panels. l have to say that the use of
veneered panels has obtained In the manu-
facture of fine furniture from time be-
You'd memory.
For some years past our best
manufacturers have been making panels
by applying hard wood veneers to BOTH
SIDES of a softer wood. The result thus
obtained has been found better than
solid panel. The crossing of the grain
in the three pieces of wood eliminates all
risk of cracking, and the tendency to
warp is reduced to minimum. This Is
clearly shown in the use of what is known
to the trade as "bullt up." Desk and
table tops, composed of three to six thin
LAYERS of wood, firmly secured together
aud regarded as far superior to solid
plank. Respectfully

A characteristic city scene was witnessed
on Eighth street yesterday afternoon.
A white woman, reeling, stumbling
drunk, with an infant two months old IL
her arms and two little tots, aged re-
spectively and 3 years, clingiug to her
skirts and crying as if their hearts would
break.
She reeed and frequently fell to the
ground, endaugering the life of the infant.
Persons living on the street endeavored
10 rescue the babe, but she firmly refused
to surrender it.
Officer Chenneville was sent for and
took her in charge and conveyed her and
the children to the station house where
she remained last night.
She said her name was Ella Williams,
and that she and her husband had been
farming somewhere in the county, and
that he had deserted her and the children.
The affair was sad one, and one only
witnessed in city.
A STATESMAN reporter called at the
station house at midnight last night, and
saw and spoke to Mrs. Williams.
