LONG LIFE.

There Is nothing In the world more gener.
ally desired than long life, yet the majority OF
people put of caring for their health-not be-
cause they are really careless, but because we
live our lives at such pace We have not time
to give the subject sufficient thought until We
| receive reminder in the shape Of severe ILL
ness.
Then, too, we are constantly bewildered by
the various schools Of medicine, and the ply
scans who represent them, and often blunder
In our choice Of doctors.
II people only knew that the very best
health-keeper, llfe-preseryer, and disease-pre'
uenter that has yet been discovered, is sim
mered down into concentrated and very
palatable form in the shape of New Style
Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, they would
not hesitate moment to try It,
But they do not know. How can they
know, when SO many not only worthless, but
positively Injurious, drugs are constantly
flooding the market under various names and
guisess, that the New Style Vinegar Bitters is
Us bad as any Of themg
They do not know, Of course, unless they
have the courrge to try the New Style. 1t
straightens out the tangled.up system in a
very short while, and those who buy it once
buy it always.
Why don't you try it, reader? 1t is sent out
by responsible house, aud is exactly as rep
resented. It costs but a dollar for very
large bottle. Try it once and you will never
be so glad Of anything In your life. Your
druggist may not have it, but he will order 1t
for you. Be sure 1t says New Style and
Pleasant Taste on carton and bottle before
you take it. Try it, and you will feel happier
than if you found gold mine, for 1t really is
mine-of health.

The Truth has made us freem
When they had mailed copies to their
friends and disciples, and received replies of
various tenor, Mr. Worthington appeared
upon the scene; a few friends were invited
and in their presence he stood up with Mary
and soemnly pronounced "In the presence
of God and you my friends here assembled
take Mary Hodgkins Plunkett to be my
wife, promising, with divine assistance, to be
unto her faithful and Icing husband, for
ever and forever"
She repeated the same words, with the
necessary variations, and so the thing was
complete Not quite, however. There was
still Mr.. Plunkett and a couple Of young

Democracy Lives.

The recent elections have
demonstrated beyond q doub:
tina. the democratic party is a
living force 1t is still the great
political organization that swept
the radical party out of power
and elected Cleveland fonr
years ago. Last November the
city of Chicago gave a republi
can majarity of over twenty
thousand. In the recent city
election there the democrats
elected their mayor by twelve
thousand majority. Last No.
vember the democrats lost the
city OF St Louis and three dem.
ocratic Congressman by six
thousand majority. In the late
city election the republican can
didate for mayer was defeated
by sixteen hundred majority.
In Evansville, Ind, the State of
Harrison's home, the democra-
cy Is triumphant. In every
western city where the ground
is debatable the democrats have
won ia the recent elections
The facts are indisputablc. The
democrats do not mean to STAY
defeated. Doodle and protee
tian subsidy bought the repub-
liean victory last November.
Honesty and reform in the taxa
ton Of imported goods to a
scale of fairness will yet prevail
and this% country will yet see it
before another four years shall
have passed.
