A FLANNEL Shirt Exchange.

"You cannot imagine how the flannel
shirt business of our store has grown in
the past few years." said trusted clerk
of one of Boston's largest firms. Two
years ago three clerks were enough to
handle all the trade in flannel shirts we
had Now have six good men under
me, and the work is all they can do.
Everybody is wearing flannel shirts now,
and our sales amount to more than u.s.
900 shirts year.
You know how flannel shirt will
shrink have a plan which will not
only make mans flannel shirt fit him
all the time, but will enable him to come
out with new style shirt every two
days. My Flannel Shirt Exchange will
take a shirt that is too small for a man
from washing and give him one size
longer of the same quality for the small
sum of 25 cents, provided the shirt he
brings in is clean. Thus man with a
30-inch torso can get the shirt of the 80
inch man, and give his out to the 2S-inch
man, while the 32-inch man will take
that which belonged to him of 81 inches,
and SO on up to the largest. Boston

CARLYLE as His Wife sketched Him

"A certain goosish man, my quondam
lover;" 1.-The same sentimental looking
person with the open mouth, who used
to go about catching flies in Edinburgh"
she retired to his inn and vapored back
in the course of an hour or SO in all the
pride of two waistcoats, one of figured
velvet, the other of sky blue satin, gos-
samer silk stockings and Morocco leather
slippers" He is something
liker to St. Preux than George Craig is
to Wolmar. He has his talents, his vast
and cultivated mind, his vivid imagina-
ton, his independence and his high
souled principles of honor. But then
ah, these buts!-St. Preux never kicked
the fire irons nor made puddings in his
tea cup Want of elegancel Want of
elegance, Rousseau says, is defect

Congressman Mckinley, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Press, " be-
lieves that the first duty of the Re-
publican party is to revise the tariff,
and he would have been glad to see
an extra session of Congress called
last April for that purpose. His idea
is that the party was then united, and
that since then the ancient question
of patronage has made personal di-
visions and disagreements. He be-
lieves that the next tariff bill must
maintain as its first principle the pro-
lection of home industry, but he also
seems to think that in order to obtain
majority in the next House, with
its narrow Republican margin, the
Tariff bill must be what he calls lib
eral, and that it must be framed with
view to mutual concessions.

A Scrap of pap er saves her life,

1t was Just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She was
in the last stages of consumption, told by
physicians that she was incurable and
could live only short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On a piece of
wrapping paper she read of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for consumption, and got
a sample bottle it helped her, she bought
large bottle, it helped her more, bought
another and grew better fast, continued
its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy,
plump, weighing lao pounds. For fuller

SOME Foolish PEOPLE,

it wears them away. Could they be in

Walt Until The Caucuses Come.

We learn that much dissatisfaction
exists IN Wardsboro over the post
office appointment at that place, and
that it was strongly protested against,
Rev. +. S. Morse making special
visit to East st. Johnsbury to lay
the matter before Gen. Grout, but
without avail. OF course not. Mr..
Morse is patron Of this office, a
thorough gentleman, good Repub-
lican and a man whose word is as
good as gold. But what does that
weigh against the smirched gang of
wire-pulling gentry at Brattleboro? !?
Not the weight of straw The
postofilces in this county have been
given into their hands and the people,
the patrons of the offices, have no
more to do about it than the meanest
negro in Alabama will have to do in
locating the worlds fair for 1892.
Petitions amount to nothing. If by
starting out three months or more be-
fore the advent of the new admins
tration and putting on men, women
and children, as was done at So.
Londonderry, they succeed in getting
big petition, well and good; that is
big thing. If it happens to work
the other way, why these fellows go
to work to explain it away. They
absolutely undertake to tell who are
patlons of the office, in question, and
who are not; who are Republicans
and who are not, even way up here in
Londonderry and Wardsboro, and
worse still, it seems, are believed,
while the honest, intelligent Republi-
can, who is a patron of the office and
knows all about the situation, is vir-
tually told that it is none of his bus
mess. Where these postoffice brokers
are agreed, as matter of course,
there is no trouble, appointments are
promptly made. But if, perchance,
as in the case of the Londonderry
office, they are divided, then the mat
ter hangs. Republicans this is ter
rible confession to make, but it is a
true, one and this is sufficient de-
fence for making it. Now the ques-
ton arises, What is the remedy! /!
There is but one, that will ever reach
these fellows, and that is to
WAIT For The CAUCUsEs
and see that these postmasters, these
creatures of this corrupt ring, do not
"set 'em up" for their creators and
masters. This is what is expected of
them. This is what they were put in
for. Mr.. Chase is expected to take
men into his back store, especially
those who are owing him, and cleo
tioneer them; he will be required to
beat the bush to drive them in, as he
has done for the past fifteen years to
the Writer'S knowledge. The same
will be expected of Wait, and if we
are not misinformed he has, hereto
fore, worked in that harness. Then
it is the plain duty of every man who
is Republican from principle not
for " revenue only" to see that these
fellows are thwarted at the caucuses
next year. This is the only place
they can be reached.

SONG OF THE DRINK,

SONG OF THE DRINK.
With bloated face and ragged coat,
That Mapped in the wintry wind,
A young man came for glass of rum
And drank to clear his mind
He drank to clear his mind.
And the room with curses rang;
And tuning his throat to the horribl
note,
The following song he sung:
Drink, drink, drink! - ....
In cold in heat, in rain,
Till every glass | take, ut last
Sets whirling all my brains;
The clothes on my back are old,
My home is a hovel poor,
But the rum I'll drink
TN the parting clink
OF money, says, mo more
Drink, drink, drink!
Through the livelong day go,
My breath comes quick,
And my speech grows thick,
My steps unsteady and slow.
Oh, you in your cozy homes,
Your temptings small,
Sheer when we fall,
Our appetite on fire.
Drink, drink, drink.
Forever the whole day through,
And at night it seems
My torturing dreams
Are filled with hellish crew.
Oh, you in your pleasant homes,
Who sneer at the dlunkard poor,
Can't tell how soon
In time TO come,
The tempter will stop at your door.
Drink, drink, drink =
The speakers lips are dumb,
He now is drunk,
In stIpor sunk
By the terrible demon, rum!

POOR PEOPLES CHANCES.

Some years ago city missionary
was crossing one of the parks in New
York on the Sabbath day and said to
a lad, "What are you doing here,
breaking the Lords day? You ought
to be at Church and worshipping
God instead of breaking the Sabbath
in this way" The poor lad in his
rags looked up at the city missionary
and said: "Oh, sir, it's very easy foi
you to talk that way, but God knows
that We poor chaps amt got no
chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing
that in the United States the time has
arrived when "the poor chaps don't
have no chance"
There 10 some truth in u. The poor
are not shut out from making liveli.
hood, but the gulf between riches and
poverty continually grows more diff.
cult to cross. As the country becomes
densely populated keen business com.
petition decreases the chances for
accumulating wealth by ordinary busi-
ness methods.
But the same conditions vastly i'm.
prove the chances for great success
to those who can strike out in new
paths, can furnish something to the
world that others cannot.
True merit, in commodity or ability,
will win easily and with grand results
in this country if the masses can be
induced TO recognize it. This recogni-
ton can only be accomplished by
what are sometimes sneeringly al
luded to as advertising methods.
What a marvellous success has at
tended the thorough introduction TO
the world OF the merits Of that wonder
full remedy for kidney disease-War-
ner's Safe Cure. Hon. III. III. Warner
first came TO know Of its curative
power by being restored to health
from what the doctors pronounced
fatal kidney trouble. He concluded
the world ought to know OF it and in
the ten years since he began its
manufacture he has spent millions Of
dollars in advertising the Safe Cure.
His methods have oeen ingenious
sometimes, perhaps, open TO criti-
cism, but they had purpose, which
has been accomplished.
But mark he never would have
