Those who never read the advertise ments in their newspapers miss more than they presume. Jonathan Kenison, of Bolan, Worth Co.,, Iowa, who had been troubled with rheumatism in his back, arms and shoulders, read an item in his paper about how prominent German citizen of Ft. Madison had been cured. He procured the same medicine, and to use his own words: ''It cured me right up." He also says: "A neighbor and his wife were both sick in bed with rheumatism. Their boy was over to my house and said they were so bad he had to do the cooking. I told him of Cham berlain's Pain Balm and how it had cured me, he got bottle and it cured them up in week. 30 cent bottles for sale by w. w. Lathrop, Stafford Springs; G. L.

It is reported that Haverhill (Mass. ) man, in order to impress business meth- ods on his son early in life, told his youngster that if he would see that the gas bill was paid before a certain date each month he could have the discount for himself. The Haverhill youngster took very kindly to the idea and captured the discount each time the bill came in. To his fathers surprise, however, the gas bill began to increase at remarkable rate. He found one night that his son was burning gas all over the top of the house from 10 o'clock until 6 the next morning. The youngster had become a Napoleon of finance, and had discovered the fact that the bigger the bill the bigger the discount
 Boston Traveller: A pretty school mistress told rather amusing story at the boarding house, the other day. She asked one of her class to put the nouns "boys," "bees" and "bears" into sent ence. The scholars thought intently for a few moments, when one ragged young ster, with look of victory on his face, raised his hand. "Well, Johnny" said the school teacher, "what is your sent ence?" Boys bees bare when they go in swimmin'." The teacher did not call on any more of her class.

 IT MAY Do AS MUoH FOR YoU.-Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, Ill.,, writes that he had Severe Kidney trouble for many years, with severe pains in his back, and also that his bladder was affected. He tried many so-called Kidney cures, but without any good result. About year ago he began use of Electric Bitters and found relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially adapted to cure of all Kidney and Liver troubles, and often gives al most instant relief. One trial will prove our statement. Price only soc. for large bottle. At E. K.

BOUTELLE FINDS A "CABMAN. gressman Boutelle retails bit of experi- ence which he thinks illustrates the way things go on in the senate. When he reached Boston on his way from Bangor once he wanted a carriage in a hurry to take him across the city to the Old Col ony station.
 The first driver he hailed was going to a different part of the city, and the con- gressman turned to another who was standing not far away. The cabby looked at him with cool disdain.
 Didn't l see you talking to that other gentleman just now ?" he inquired haught- fly.
 Certainly" replied the congressman.
 "Were you negotiating with him to carry your"
 "Of course I was," responded the pug. zled and impatient representative. "What business is that of yours ?"
 "In that case," said the cabby, who evi- dently believed that the congressman had been trying to jew his companion down and proposed to protect the dignity of the craft, ''you will have to get across the city as best you can," and he turned cool. ly away.
 "That," said Boutelle, when he tells the story, illustrates the famous 'sena. torial courtesy My choler was rising and I was counting the minutes. Just then a herdic drove by, and hailed it The driver drew up in spite of the signals of the courteous cabby for him to drive on. Do you carry people for money?' demanded. You bet!' yelled the driver And before the other fellow could inter fere hustled my satchel into the herdio and was tearing away to the station That was 'closure.'"

Catsrrh Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tioual treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting

Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, chair
man of the Democratic congressional cam
paign committee, denies emphatically the
statements made by members of the House
of Representatives that the congressional
campaign committee has exerted any lnilu-
euce in favor of the Compromise tariff
bill, soon to come before the House foT con-
sideration. Speaking of the matter to a
representative of the Baltimore sun Sena-
tor Faulkner said "The congressional CAM
paign committee is making no effort what
ever to influence members Of the House or
any one else regarding the tariff bill. Its
purpose is to secure the next House to the
Democrats, and in order to do this we wish
to pass such a tariff bill as will be generally
satisfactory to members of the party. State
ments to the contrary are absolutely false
Personally l would oppose the adoption OF
the Senate bill without conference. l
think the bill should so to conference COM
mitiee, and that the features which caused
dissatisfaction should be modified. Unequal
tiles should be eradicated and the bill so re-
vised that we can all agree upon it. Iwish
to see duties reduced to the lowest possible
figure that will leave us a chance to carry
the country. As chairman of the congress
sional campaign committee, am more In
terested in the success of the party than any
individual member Of the House. If we are
successful will feel more pride in the result
than any member of Congress who merely
secures a re- election. Ever since | was Sc
lected chairman of the committee l have
been determined to do all in my power tC
aid each Democratic nominee, regardless Of
his position on the tariff. l am devOting
nv nights and what other time | can spare
from my Senatorial duties to promote the
work the committee has undertaken. Hay'
ing done this, do not wish to be yillifed
by members of the House or by Democratic
newspapers, not because their attacks hur
me personally, but because they hinder the
committee in its effort to secure the election
of Democratic Congress. l believe the
Democrats will have a majority in the mex
Congress, aud 1 believe the tariff bill as i
will be finally agreed to will be such meas
ure as will contribute largely to the desired
result"
