Kelly Says

There is an old and true saying a. We can
see the mote that is in the eye of our neigh
bor. but fail to see the beam that is in our
own" That is how the people of this
country look to-day at the United States
senate.
II is not the United States senate that
makes hard times, it is the business people
of this country that make hard times for
themselves and others. The Sherman bill,
so much abused, has no more to do with
hard times than my bobtail cat had in rob-
bling the Omaha express, and am safe to
nredict that YOU will have the silver dollar
as long as Won live, because it buys more
flour today than gold ever has in the his
tory of the world. A little lecture to bust
ness man. Here is the method Kelly has
taken to improve the business of the Plat
Button company Irving G. Plat, one of
the stockholders of the above concern and
at present owner of Irving block and a one
story building adjoining Kelly, said to
Plat If YOU will tear down that one story
building and build me a model bakery I
will show YOU how you can make the but
ton business better. Plat said all right.
Now for an illustration. You see the man
who DIGS the celler buys a new shovel from
the hardware dealer the hardware dealer
must order another shovel from the factory !;
the factory callsin the hands TO make the
shovel: the miner will have to call the
miners to mine the ore, and the miner S
wife will have to buy buttons to put on the
bows trousers, and the merchants Will have
big order for Plat Button company, and
they will have to call in the girls TO make the
buttons and the girls will have money to
Inv Kelly's Queen Caramels, and Kelly can
90 TO the Worlds fair. Plat was satisfied
with the illustration, and to-day there are
twenty-five men working on the building.
who otherwise would be sitting in the park.
This is proof that it is neither the senate
| or the sherman bill that makes times poor.
Please don't say. oh, pshaw but go right
along and do the business the same as yon
always have. and we win all be working by
and by. When you buy -four from Kelly
you buy direct from the mill. Ii you w1H
give NV man an empty barrel You can buy
it for $4.75.

Plant Forms Seen In Coa!.

The substance of coal has been so
compressed that the forms Of the
plants composing it cannot usually
be seen, but when piece of it is
made so thin that it will transmit
light and is then subjected to pow
erful microscope its vegetable st,uc-
ture may readily be distinguished.
Immediately under every separate
seam of coal there is stratum of
what is known as fireclay. This
stratum is always present and con-
tains in great abundance the fossil
impressions Of roots and stems and
twlos, showing that it was once the
soil from which vegetation grew lux
uriantly.
It is common also to find fossil tree
stems lying mashed fiat between tine
layers of black slate which form the
roofs of coal mines as we'll as the
impressions Of the leaves, nuts and
seeds which fell from these trees
while they were living. In some
beds Of came! coal whole trees have
been found with roots, branches,
leaves and seeds complete, and all
converted into the same quality Of
coal as that by which they were sur.
rounded Washington Star.

Cause Of Insomnia.

Now, it happens in this stirring age
of ours that men, and women, too,
are so much intellectually worked OF
so emotionally disturbed that their
brains have more to do than they
can accomplish and yet preserve their
normal balance.
Mental work, whether it be simply
perceptional, intellectual, emotional
or volitional, requires that an in
creased amount of blood shall flow
to the brain; hence during mental
exertion of any kind the cerebral
vessels become distended, owing to
the increased volume of blood they
contain, and they remain in this con-
dillon as long as the exertion is con-
tinued. If it is too intense, or if it
be persevered in for too long a period
without there being alterations OF
rest, the vessels lose their contract
bility and remain in permanently
enlarged state. They are therefore
not able to contract so rs to produce
sleep. A state of cerebral congestion
is established, and wakefulness is tho
result.
Such persons go to bed, perhaps
feeling as if they would sleep, but no
sooner do their heads touch their pill
lows than their minds become inordi-
nately active, and they lie awake hour
after hour recalling the events of the
day, or else indulging in tho most
preposterous thoughts The blood
vessels will not empty themselves,
simply because they have lost the
power to doso They are like the in
dia rubber bands that we put around
big packages and leave undisturbed
for long time We try to use them
again, and we find that the elasticity
which they once possessed has gone.
