Syrup"
Group.

We have selected two or

freshly received from pa
rents who have given German Syrup
to their children in the emergencies
of Group. You will credit these,
because they come from good, sub
stantial people, happy in finding
what so many families lack-a med
icine containing no evil drug, which
mother can administer with con-
fdence to the little ones in their
most critical hours, safe and sure
that it will carry them through.

A CONAN achO can see.
She's the woman who gets we'll.
It's the woman who cont see and
won't believe who has to suffer.
And it's needless. There's q
medicine-a legitimate medicine
that's made to stop woman's suf-
fering and cure woman's ailments.
It's DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's purely vegetable and
perfectly harmless "a powerful
general, as we'll as uterine, tonic
and nervine, imparting vigor and
strength to the whole system. For
periodical pains, weak back, bearing
down sensations, nervous prostra-
ton, and all "female complaints"
it's positive remedy. 1t improves
digestion, enriches the blood, dispels
aches and pains, melancholy and
nervousness, brings refreshing sleep,
and restores health and strength.
No other medicine for women is
guaranteed, as this is. If it fails to
give satisfaction, in any case, the
money paid for it is refunded. You
pay only for the good you get. On
these terms it's the cheapest.
But more than that, it's the best.

MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Then passing on through neighboring street
The messenger knocked at another home,
Where the inmates again were slow to greet
A caller who had so unwelcomely come
Where were carvings in marble and frescoes
raIe,
Where works OF old masters hung on the
walls;
Costly laces, fringes and curtains grouped,
where
Rich tapestries lay in parlors and halls,
These the messenger beckoned the mas ter
to leave,
Knowing well that he had while pleading
reprieve,
Ever 30 many millions Of dollars.
Tossed on couch Of anguish and pain
Surrounded by all that the world could give

His years to live over-prayed only to live,
There were images lowering thick in the air.
Mouthing curses OF wronged ones loud and

In gathering chorus, clamoring where
The silence Of death fain vigils would keep
While an anguished mortal this story told
For these all else was bartered ard sold
Ever so many millions of dollars"
To modest cot the messenger came
Where grief and vice had scarce been known
Calling for one Of moderate fame,
Whose gold was honestly all one's own;

No deaf ears turned to cries of need,

Millions Of dollars wrongfully won,
Millions of dollars, the wages of sin,

Wrought from pure metal, from untarnishet

Fashioned in honesty justice and right
While millions of dollars, where virtue is sold
May fail to outweigh poor Widows mite;
OH the passing on to eternitys brink,
With nothing but money, In oblivion to sinl
Ever SO many millions OF dollarsl

The Generalization of Pensions

Federal pensions reaching $50, ,O0O. 600
a year are an enormous dram on the vital
energies of country. They represent
the labor of 900, 900 men for five fnll
months of the year, enforced for the ben
eft of nom -earners. While the full
amount Is not actually taken from that
particular number of workers, every
dollar OF it comes out of the earnings Of
the productive labor of the country. the
number of men engaged i'm which can
never be more than one-fifth of the total
population, And this fifth includes all
workers, manual, mechanical, profes.
sional and mercantile. So that this tax
of Sl59,000, 900 a year is actually taken
from the earnings of not more than H.
sou 900 men. The practical effect of the
expenditure is that each hundred earners
is compelled to support four non earn ars,
but this is the average merely, for the
bulk OF the pension money comes not so
much from the earnings of professional
men and merchants as it does from actual
producers of commodities, whether ag-i-
cultural or manufactured. That is, it
comes out of the product of farm and dol
lar day labor.
Enormous as is the expense, the de-
moralization of the system is even a
greater evil. Some of the Southern
states where the Pretorian principle was
long resisted, are giving way to it under
the influence of the Federal example.
In Georgia, for instance. the system of
military pensions has been inaugurated
in the usual way on estimates showing
conclusively that only u very few per-
sons would accept State aid. ''When
the people of Georgia, - says the Colum-
bus Enquirer sun, ''vOted to amend The
Constitution so as to permit the pension
sioning of widows OF Confederate SOL
dierS i'm this State. there was no accurate
idea of the nnmber who were TO be pro-
vided for, The estimate at the Executive
department, where the pensions of Con-
federate soldiers are audited. was that
there would be about 600 benpficiari, s,
and the legislative appropriation was
made on that basis Up to this date.
however, the returns from 81 counties
show a list of ,2S4 Conterate widows,
an there are still 100 counties to hear
from. So that the appropriation of $780,
900 is totally inadequate. -
In Georgia. or in whatever other State
1T Is adopted. the pens on decentralization
will grow, if on a smaller scale, yet i'm the
proportion in which it has grown OH the
Federal government. 1t is human ma
ture, South ard North, to accept such
bribes to become public dependents when
they are thrust on a class in the commu-
nifty as tokens of gratitude and marks of
distinction.
The evil is great already and it is daily
threatening the earners of the
country with permanent increase of
burdens which are already so great as to
leave nothing for net earnings above the
bare price OF subsistence. Republic.
