An Anecdote of raiIeyrand.

Two friends of Talleyrand, ladies of
rank, had chosen his study as a place
of meeting. They wished to select
some ring, some bracelet, for gift, and
the great jeweler of Paris was to send
one of his statesmen with sufficient to
choose from OF course the choice was
soon limited to two, and there paused,
until Talleyrand, sitting at the farther
end OF the long library, called out:
Let me undertake to help you to
make your decision. Young man, of
these two trinkets tell me which you
prefer. '9This one, certainly, your ex-
cellency." ''Then," ended the expe-
rienced cynic, please accept it for your
sweetheart, and think, ladies, that
you had better take the other.n-John
La Fargo in Century.

Is Disease a Punishment for Sin?

The following advertisement, published by
a prominent Western patent medicine house
would indicate that they regard disease as a
punishment for sin:
ado you wish to know the quickest way
to cure a severe cold? We will tell you.
To cure cold quickly. it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. This can always be done if you
choose to, as nature in her kindness to man
gives timely warning and plainly tell. you
in natures way, that as punishment for
some indscrction, you are to be afflicted with
cold unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of q
cold in most cases, is dry, loud cough and
sncezing, The cough is soon followed by a
frofuse watery expectoration and the sneez-
| ing by Il profuse watery discharge Of the
nose. In several cases there is thin white
coating ,n the tongue, What to do? 1t is
only necessary to take Chamberlsins Cough
| Remedy in double doses every hour That
will greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will etfectuaily counter
act it and cure what would have been Sc
we're cold within one or two days time.

ExTRAvAGANCE RUN WILD.

The Republican party is known
for its extravaganza and corruption.
The 51st Congress, which was Re
publican-better known as Reed S
Congress ended at noon on
Wednesday OF last week, was the
most extravagant held since the war.
The heavy burdens it laid upon the
people will be felt for years to come.
Besides passing the Mckinley high
robbcr tariff bill, it spent more OF
the peoples money by direct appro-
preparation, than any of its pred
ecessors.
Read what Mr.. Dockery, (of Mo. }
one of the Democratic members OF
the Appropriations Committee, said
to st. Louis Republic cOrrcspon-
dent about its raid upon the Treasu-
ry-every householder and tax payer
consider well his words; Il assert
that in the riotous aud lavish expen-
diture of the peoples money the
Congress just adjourned stands with
out a rival during the entire period
OF our existence as a government.
The appropriations OF both sessions
aggregate the appalling sum Of ST.
O09, 270,571.92, being $50, 262 ,6l2
more than the aggregate OF the APP
preparations of the last Congress
which was under Democratic con-
troll in the House of Representatives.

these appropriations, approved as
they have been by the executive, all

Heed the Warning.

1t is not infrequcntly the case that
itching pimples aud irritating cat
boils" are the forerunncrs of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably Nature puts out her dan
ger signals, and they should be
needed at once. The pimples and
little bois show that the blood is not
in a good condition and nature is
irving TO relieve the system. \ few
doses Of Swift Specific at this june
ton will accomplish wonders. The
eruption will be healed and the sys-
TEN cleansed Of its impurities. The
modern paraphrase of the old saying,
"A stitch in time" etc, is that
''Timely stitches will save nine pairs
OF brooches. The modern form has
a touch of humor that does not mod.
ify the truth of it. In that vein, we
may say that course OF Swift S

Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, IS

We would suggest to Buffalo
BilP' that he might add new feat
ure to his wild West" show, which
is now in Europe, by employing the
ex-mcmbcrs of Congress to repeat
daily, for the edilicatisn of the adj
hcrents of the "effete monarchial
systems" the riot act, which they
have enacted so often during the
life time of the unlamented Fifty
first Congress. The expense would
not be great, as most of the repudi-
ated politicians would be glad to go
for their expenses, in order to avoid
having to return to their constituents
before time shall have kindly CLOSED
over some of their most glaring
misdeeds.

There is no question in our mind
but that the per capita of money in
circulation in the United States is IN
adequate to the demands Of business
and the prosperity Of the people.
The best of authorities say there is
only S25 per capita in this country,
and when we consider the amount
held in the National Treasury, in
banks, etc, there can not be much
over half this sum in daily circula-
ton among the people. Free coin
age of silver will give us an increased
money volume for general circula-
ton, hence we heartily favor it, and
the Democratic party stands com
mtted to the measure.

"The Blood is the Life"

So runs the old saying and every
thing that ever makes part of any
organ Of the body must reach its
place therein through the blood.
Therefore, if the blood is purified and
kept in good condition by the use OF
Hoods Ssrsapsrilla, it necessarily
follows that the benefit of the medi-
cine is impaired to every organ OF
the body. Can anything be simpler
than the method by which this excel

The death OF Senator Hearst was a
double misfortune to the country
and the Democratic party. The
party loses the services of an honest,
vel-headed Senator, and owing to
the Governor of California being a

pred term, which ends March 3,
