Ten Thousand Dollars q War


Robert Burdette, the humorist who has recent
y, SO we learn, become parson, once said to
young boy There's nothing like knowing your
business clean through, my boy, whether you
know anything else or not"
Vanderbilt pays his cook $4,000 a year. He
might have known how to cook fairly well and
known little of thousand and one other useful
employments, but he could not have gotten ten
thousand year salary for all of them.
He gets that just because he knows thoroughly
hoH to cook, and it wouldn't make cents differ
enee in his salary If he thought the world was fiat
and went around It's orbit on wheels. The cream
always rises to the top and stays.
AS with individual ayocations so 1t is with every
branch of business or every class of goods or art
Gle of use or necessity, they live the life of the
butterfly and are forgotten as soon as something
else appears that is new or else they become so
firmly fixed in the minds of thousands that tney
become part of life ITSELF
We we're forcbly impressed with the above idea
from remark made by gentleman In our ofice
a few DAYS since. He said, "Any article of mer-
chandise that has been on the market since 1910,
and still sells like the old Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment must have extraordinary merit" The
manufacturers, Is johnson L. Co., Boston, Mass
have in their office and will send TO any one, tes-
timonials from old who have used it in their fami
ly, when young, and whose children's children
have used it very many years. This is not at all
remarkable when we think of the amount of good
this remedy will do; thousands of cases of pneu-
monia and consumption have been prevented by
using this remedy for internal infammations,
such as colds, coughs, bronchitis, as well as
cramps and pains inncmerable. 1t is totally un-
like any otherl remedy used, and called liniment.
1t was great mistake ever calling it anything
bnt Johnson's Anodyne. The information on the
large four page wrapper around each bottle is
worth much to every family. johnson & Co. send
a pamphlet free to any one, containing much
valuable information upon diseases and their
cure.

Having lost his wife when his only child was
but six years old, Sandy Mcpherson decided to
venture again ON the sea of matrimony. His Sec
ond wife was by no means success. She was
very kind to little Maggie, but ruled her husband
with rod Of iron His club knew him no more,
his latchkey was confiscated, his pipe taboed and
his life generally made wTetched. Rum0rs of the
state of things got abroad, and old lady meeting
the child on her way to school, kissed her and
said:
"Pur wee lassie, ye've only a stepmither the
