be will be- careful in future not to have

1t will take either very skillful or a

L. w. Rogers, one of the organizers of
the American Railway Union, was in the
city last week. He welded together 246
railroad men Of Superior in branch Of
the A. z. U. This organization is des-
tined to have grand future. 1t repre-
sents the correct idea in later organiza-
tions. It will be corporation itself as
grasping and selfish as any great organi-
cation of capital. And it ought to be, es-
specially in coping with it's formidable
adversaries, the gigantic accumulations
of combined wealth.. It should evidence
the same cold, calculating shrewdness,
the same admirable courage, the same
dauntless energy, the same bland seren-
ity, the same apparent respect for law
and order, the same ability to control
courts, legislation and the agent OF pub
lie thought. If it would win it must not
be spoiled by success. Not only must it
initiate those qualities of it's adversaries
that have insured them success in every
direction but it should excel in each and
every one of them. Above all let it in
culcate among its members the absolute
necessity for temperance, sobriety and
economy. The practice of these virtues
will give to the organization and to the
individual members tone Of stability
and responsibility that will not only
challenge but command public admira-
ton and respect.

Domestic Life In Paris.

Life in Paris means what II does in
all large cities: tho good and the bad
The cast al tourist sees, rs u rule, only
ono side. AS u race, the French are u
mcrry-making people; their very
natures seek and crave enjoyment
But their amusements are, therefore,
not necessarily of an order below tho
ken Of responsibility. 1t has been my
pleasure to see something OF French
domestic lie, and to hear more of 1t
from sources away from pre-. udicc.
The affection which exists between the
French father and his daughter Is
beautiful and almost spiritual. Home
and family means as much to him rs II

more with less eXertiOn than does her

children is as a gospel to her. Her re-
lgiOus faith is strong, and she instills
it into her children ut tho dome site
board and at eventide. The parents
live out of doors, hut it Is rare, indeed,
that you zee children ON the streets of
Paris after reasonable hours. They
are taught to find their chief amuse-
ment in the home: and everything i
done by the French father and mother
to see that the home is attractive to
their children. One of the most
beautiful sights in the world is to see
a well-regulated French family, where
you will lind the atmosphere redolent

Excepting its handful of magnificent
statesmen and its military heroes" says
the most recent writer upon America,
1.-THE PEOPLE owe more to Dartm0uti's
physlcian-teacher than to any one man.
'In every walk of life, among the high
est office-holders at Washington, in the
homes of the best people in the large cities,
among the everyday folks of the country,
families in comfortable circumstances,
families that live from hand to mouth
and could not, if they wished, afford the
services Of any but an ordinary physician
everywhere l have met people to whom
Paine's celery compound has been
blessing"
The story of the lifework of this giant
among men has been often told and is
familiar to most readers. The likeness
above is probably the best portrait of him
yet printed.
1t was the word-famed discovery of
Professor Phelps of an infallible cure for
those fearful ills that result from an i'm
paired nervous system and impure blood
which has endeared the great doctor to the
world and made his life an era in the prac-
tice of medicine.
Professor Phelps was born In Connect
cut ana graduated from the mill tary school
at Norwich. VI He studied medicine
with Professor Nathan Smith of New
Haven, Conn.,. and graduated in medicine

sion that the compound be placed where
the general public could secure II. ana
thousands of psople have every year prove
the wisdom of this good advice.
Only truly great and effective remedy
could continue. as Paine's celery COM
pound has done, to hold its high place in
the estimation of the ablest physicians and
OF the thousands of busy men and women,
whose only means of judging is from the
actual results in their own homes or among
their friends. No remedy was ever so
highly recommended, because none ever
accomplished so much.
To-day Paine's celery compound stands
without an equal for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength of the
body. 1t cures radically and permanently.
The nervous prostratiOn and general
debility. from which thousands of women
suffer so long that 1t finally gets to be a
second nature with them-all this suffer-
ing and dependency can be very soon re-
moved by properly feeding the nerves and
replacing the unhealthy blood with
fTesher, more highly vitalized fluid. A
healthy increase in appetite and a CORE
spending gain in weight and good spirits
follow the use of Paine's celery COM
pound.
Paine's celery compound is the most re-
markable medical achievement of this last
half Of the nineteenth century.

His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among his pro-
fessional brethren. First he was elected
to the professorship of anatomy and sur
gerry in the Vermont University. Next he
was appointed lecturer on materla medlca
and medical botany in Dartmouth College.
The next year he was chosen professor of
the chair, then vacated by Professor
Robby, and occupied the chair, the most
important one in the country, at the time
when he first formulated his most remark
