Not so Peaceful as We Seem.

We are supposed to be a peaceful
nation, but we have had our fair share
of strife, foreign and domestic. Since
the revolution there have been wars
with England and with Mexico, with
Tripoli and with Algiers; broils with
Paraguay and Corea, and a gigantic
civil war; rumors of wars with France,
England, Spain and Italy. There have
been the John Brown raid the Barn
burner and Fenian raids to Canada,
many incursions across the Mexican
border, and the filibustering expedi-
tons to Cuba and Nicaragua. We have
had the Whisky and Shays rebellions;
the election, draft, railroad, recon-
struction, and sundry serious city riots;
we have had we'll on to two hundred
deadly Indian fights and many awful
massacres. We have lost more men in
active war since 1776 than any nation
of Europe. This is a startling record
for a peaceful people. -Forum.

CCGCG " w
Sometimes you may have to wait.
The troubles that have been years
in gathering can't always be cleared
away in a day. For all the diseases
and disorders peculiar to woman
hood, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the surest and speediest
remedy. You can depend upon that
but if your case is obstinate, give
it reasonable time.
It's an invigorating, restorative
tonic, a soothing and strengthen
ing nervine, and a positive specific
for female weaknesses and ailments.
All functional disturbances, painful
irregularities and arrangements are
corrected and cured by it. All unnat-
ural discharges, bearing-down sensa-
tions, weak back, accompanied with
faint spells and kindred symptoms,
are corrected. In every case for
which it's recommended, "Favorite
Prescription" is guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or the money is re-
funded. No other medicine for
women is sold on such terms. That
proves that nothing else offered by
the dealer can be "just as good"

THE INKSTAND BATTLE,

We are making smokeless powder
And big bombs to throw mile,
That will blow the foe to chowder
In the true dynamic style.
Talk not of the bloody red man.
And the foe his arrow drops
Every ball, it means dead man,
Every bullet means o corpse
We've whirling gun; you spin il
And the myriad bullets fly,
And hundred men minute
Roll their stony eyes and die.
'Make your swath of dead men deeper"
Thus the modern spirit saith,
"Start me up this rafting reaper
On the harvest fields of death"
Let us stop this wild deaths revel;
Martin Luther, so It's said,
Threw his inkStand at the devil,
And the black fiend turned ana fed.
Smite your world.wrong; don't combat it
With fusilade of lead:
Simply throw your inkstand as it;
Come tomorrow: 1t is dead.
When the world upon the brink stands
OF some crisis steep and dread,
Like brave soldiers seize your inkstands
Hurl them at the devils head.
Pour your ink-pots in Il torrent
Till the strangling demon sink,
Till the struggling tiend abhorrent
Drown in oceans of black ink.
For the man who's born a fighter,
For the brain that's learned to think,
There is dynamite and nitre
In bottle of black ink.
Though it makes no weeping nations,
And it leaves no gaping scars,
Placed meath errors strong foundations
Twill explode them to the stars.

The secret of success in life is to keep
busy, to be persevering, patient, and
untiring in the pursuit or calling you
are following. The busy ones may now
and then make mistakes, but it is bet
ter to risk them than to be idle and in
active. Keep doing, whether it be at
work or seeking recreation. Motion is
life, and the busiest are the happiest.
Cheerful, active labor is blessing.
An old philosopher says: "The FREELY
only shines when on the wing; so it is
with the mind; when once we rest, we
darken. british Printer

UGLY GUM CHEWERS.


If Not So by Nature They Become So by
Practice of the Nulgarism.
The inquiry that has often been made
and never satisfactorily answered is:
why is it that beautiful woman is
rarely found addicted to the gum chew
ing habit" If she is, she certainly
never makes an exhibition of it in pub
lie places. 1t may be that she realizes
the fact that the process of mastication
does not enhance the attractiveness of
the human face, hence has the good
sense to take no chances of disfgure-
ment-
Anyone who will take the trouble to
observe will note that the gum chewer
is invaria bly, homely enough to stop y
street car without pulling the bell. The
same rule holds good in every public
place where the gum chewing woman
is met.
Physicians have condemned the habit
as physically hurtful but this has had
no effect in restraining the jaws of the
gum fiend. Perhaps however, the
opinion very boldly expressed on State
street the other day may have a more
efficacious effect. A couple of gentle
men were conversing when a well
dressed girl came tripping by.
What pity that every ugly woman
who chews gum can not be stricken
with lockiaw."
did you ever see handsome woman
chewing gum?"
Come to think, / never did,
"How do you account for it?''
81 don't account for it, l only repeat
the fact"
This was sidewalk opinion as to at
least one unfortunate homely gum
chewer. Chicago Herald.

How He Reinstated the Son of an Old

'Cf the most prominent traits in Gen.

Matheson, of Washington, in converse
ton on the late president, was the
headfast manner in which he stuck to

illustrates that In 1878 the term of a
western senator expired, and before
leaving Washington he secured posi-
ton in the post Office department for
his only son, a bright young fellow
whose only failing was an indulgence
in an occasional spree. Marshall Jewell
was then postmaster general, and he
had appointed the boy. After a month
or so of work he went on a spree and
under its effects resigned his position.
When he had Strengthened up and real
lied his trick his heart was broken; out
of money, out of place, with wife and
child to take care of, he didn't know
where to turn. All at once he thought
of Gen. Grant, and off he went to the
white house. His acquaintance with
the attaches readily procured him an
audience with the president, to whom
he made clean breast of the whole
affair.

president.
