The snow bali of scandal began

The snow ball of scandal began at
te top of the hill in a very small way.
Somebody said, IL think" 1t rolled
along, collecting bits as it went until
somebody said, 81 believe" 1t went
further and further, until somebody
said, 81 know" And then it rolled
until il was great big ball that
hit straight at somebody's heart be-
cause somebody else said, 81 saw"
And though the snow ball looked fair
and white. though there seemed moth.
ing wrong about it, it was horrible
lie. 1t began with idle gossip; it grew
with silly chatter until it reached its
full size fed by scandal. There is on
ly one way to fight such a snow ball.
Wait. Wait and live out your life
hosestly and truly, the sunshine of
good deeds will glare down upon the
snow ball of scandal until 1t melts
away, and even its existance is forgot
ten. II is true it is hard to live things
down sometimes. but it is working two
ways, as by your goodness you are liv-
ing down the wrong doings of others.
so by the same goodness you are liv.
ing up to the higher life which ends
in the golden world where scandal
mongers can never enter.-Ex.

The Libby Prison War Museum.


OF the many attractions outside of
the Worlds Fair in Chicago, there are
but few in which there is so much
interest conferred as there is in the
Libby Prison War Museum. In 1889
this celebrated prison was removed TO
Chicago from Richmond and converted
into war museum. The project was
undertaken by syndicate of the best
known business men of the city whose
enterprise was conceived in COM
mercial spirit, but has attained ma
tional reputation. A project such as
this was never before heard of. To
move brick and stone building the
size of Libby more than thousand
miles, across rivers and mountains,
was AN enterprise that many of the
best known contractors in the West
refused to undertake at any price. But
the move was made with success.
Then the famous old structure was
filed with war material that repre-
sents the work of a lifetime and
the expenditure of half million dol
lars. The great collection is conceded
to be second to none in the country
and includes much of the most valua-
BILE material that the greatest civil
war the world has ever known has left
to posterity. The collection includes
thousands and thousands of relics of
every description, many of which form
important links in the history of the
nation. The old building itself is
fraugbt with interesting memories
and the story of the celebrated tunnel
escape of Feb. Q, 1854, never fails to
interest the visitors. One hundred
and nine Union officers made their
escape through that tunnel, which
formed one of the most thrilling
events in the history of the war.

How To Save Money

Not by buying soap-though "sosp"
is a good thing TO carry elections.
Not by investing in infallible cures
for consumption, or champion catarrsh
are like the Yankee
peddler's rszors, "msde to SELL" The
way to save money is by the ability TO
to know a good thing when you see IL,
and take advantage of it. You can
save money at all times by taking the
Burlington Route for Chicago, St.
Louis. Kansas City. Omaho, Denver
and all prominent points in the West
and Northwest. The speed of its trains
and the certainty of its connections
will save time. and time is money.
The comfort and luxury of its equip

your temper. For maps, time tables
