SENSIBLE
Suggestions in regard to
.. THE GRIP.
SENSIBLE

30 many remedies are advertised to cure the Grip
that people smile and shake their heads Now We do
not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be . cure for this
really dangerous complaint. If you have the Grip
the best thing you do is to call reliable physician
But Ne co claim that for two conditions In relation to
the Grip Hoods Sarsaparils II very valuable medi.
cine.
FIRST. AS A PREVENTIVE.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purines the blood and builds
up the strength that the system successfully resiss
attacks Of the Grip. This complaint and other
diseases often preceded Ivy weakness that tired
feeling which Hoods Sarsaparilla taken IN season
will soon overcome.
SECOND. AFTER THE GRIP.
Convalesccncs from any form Of the Grip IL very
slow and regain the desired strength good tonic
IL absolutsly Words strong enough
to express our confidence in
HOODS sARsAPARILLA
A. touc after attacks Of the Grip or after typhoid
fever. scarlet fever dph:heria pneumonia or other
pros&rating diseases. Many testimonials from people
who taken it conclusvely prove that it
Just the 6uildinsup effect much needed; It vital
ixes and euriches tho thin and Impoverished blood
and It invigorstes the Liver and Kidneys.
HOODS PILLS are purely vegetable and are tn,
best Liver. invigorator and family cathartic.

AN exchange says that Mr.. A. III.
Billings, owner of a controlling in.
terest in the Memphis street lines
has ''made novel proposition to
that city which has attracted wide
spread interest. He proposes to
make the city part owner in the
street railway lines upon fair basis
and the probabilities are that the
proposition will be accepted and the
experiment tried of limited munich
pal ownership in q street railway
line"
Since the exchange in question is
intelligently conducted, as a rule,
we wonder that it should call this a
novel proposition, for it is nothing
OF the kind, except in the United
States. Toronto, Canada, absolutely
owns her street railway tracks, so
10 LlVerpool, Parls and other tor
eign cities. In the two latter every
pipe, rail and all else under or on
the streets, is municipal property.
The tracks are either leased, or
strict terms as to service to be rem
dered. fares, ETC., to private persons
or corporations, or operated by the
municipality, and all accounts agree
that the arrangement is one good
for the tax payers and the patrons
Of all these means o. city supply and
locomotion. 1t is the logical solu-
ton of the existing complications
and abuses that have grown round
our loose American system of giving
away enormously valuable street
trachises to private corporations.

EDITED BY ALLIANCE COMMITTEE.
ARBiTRATIGN-AN ALLEGORY.

Once on time certain comfort
ably dressed lawyer was walking
leisurely by the sea shore. Now it
so happened that this certain lawyer
had eaten a generous dinner as, in
fact, he was quite in the habit of
doing. Having leisure and being at
peace with himself, his dinner and
the members of the bar" in general,
nothing seemed more conducive to
serene meditation than that he
should stroll along by the "murmur-
ing sea" the home of the succulent
oyster, etc.
The inspiration to this "medita-
tive Frame" was the Continuance"
in the county court of certain i'm
portant cases. He thought, there
now is ny client, c. l allow his
dander is pretty we'll up and his
pile isn't half gone and ="
Here the thread of this charming
reverie was broken by sharp words
OF dispute. Looking up he saw two
hard handed, roughly clad workmen.
They did not have the appearance
OF being generous livers' and were
disputing about the possession of a
large oyster that was tightly shut
between his Two half shells. Each
claimed it on The ground that he
saw it first.
The lawyer seemed to have a
friendly interest in the "case,"
which they decided to ''put into his
hands" He turned the cease"
over in a way that indicated sort
of loving familiarity with the subs
Ject, and among other questions
asked if either of the disputants had
an oyster knife about him. One of
them had and handed it, unsuspect-
ingly, to the genial disciple OF Black
stone. With admirable skill he
parted the shells of the luscious
bivalve and taking the meat of the
cease" all into his capacious organs
of digestion, gave to each party in
the cease" an empty half she'll.
! Wish a suave ''good afternoon
gentlemen" he passed on, and com
placently took up the broken thread
of his charming reverie.

OWNERS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Let US corner up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Get trust on wheat and roses,
GIVE the poor the thorns and chat;
Let us find our chieffccc.e pleasure
boarding bounties Of to-day,
30 the poor shall have poor measure
And two prices have to pay.
Yes, Well reservoir the rivers.
And We'll levy on the lakes;
And we'll lay trihing toll tax
For each poor man who partakes;
Well brand his number or him
That he'll carry through his life;
Well apprentice all his children.
Get mortgage On his wife.
We will capture cen the wind god,
And confne him il cave,
And then through our patent pro-
We the atmosphere will save.
Thus We'll squeeze our little brother
When he tries his lungs to fill,
Put meter on his windpipe
And present our little bill.
We will syndicate the starlight,
And monopolize the moon;
Claim royalty on rest days,
And proprietary noon
For right of way through ocean
spray
Well charge just what its worth.
Well drive our stakes around the
lakes
In fact we'll own the earth.
