NO, no; Baedeker Is BEST" answered
Mr. Alien; why do you object to

Abner Jennings was never known to
say harsh thing to or about anyone,
says the Youths Companion. His form
of speech was invariably mild. and ex-
aggerated statements were viewed by
him as almost as reprehensible as lies.
Once, in the spri1g of the year, when
the Blueville roads were in = fearful
condition Of mud and mire, the team
of a travelling merchant" was stalled
q short distance from Mr.. jennings
house. The odd man at once brought
out his oxen and went to the peddler's
assistance.
The team could not be instantly re-
leased even with the aid of a yoke of.
oxen, and the peddler, who was man
of high temper and little self-control,
proceeded to vent his rage in language
which first amazed and then disguised
the equable Mr.. Jennings. He bore it
as long as he thought was necessary
and proper, and then unhitched his
oxen and went calmly home
81 went to try and help him." he cx-
planned to his wife, as he walked into
the kitchen on his return, "but he
talked so poorly that came off and
left him."
One day he caught some boys rob-
bing his black cherry trees, and sur
veycd them for some moments in
speechless disappr0bation. Si.a @si5
Boys" he said at last, giving the
culprits the sternest glance Of which
he was capable, "boys, think you've
been doin' very poorly''
After administering that stirring re-
buke he turned on his heels and walked
slowly away to the barn. and never re-
ferred to the matter aguin.

while the victor continaed dons her

Adays, the position OF q prize crew
would be far from commanding. The
captufed vessel could not be managed
by her csptors-she would have to re-
main In charge of her own engineers
and her. own fremen, and the yictots,
instead of sailing the, ship, while the
prisoners remained, under hatches,
would be reduced to the status Of POI
lice, and thus would the 'oppor rtunity
for a7recapture be greatly increased.
For, while in, the old days the entire
captured crew were disarmed and i'm
prisoned, the noncombatants of q cap
tured battle ship would have, to be
given their liberty, practically speak

by.a couple Of second engineerA.with

would it be so difficult to superinduce

armament of q modern battle ship
would complicate affairs. Relatively

be. And this would be q double incen-

turn the fortune of war entirely In

PIONEER
MEAT MARKET

Main Street, Opposite First National Bank
St. Paul daily globe., 1894-04-14

There is no man more popular among
the farmers of the country than Hen. ..
NJ. Tinkham. whose likeness is here
given.
A man of acknowledged ability, of
commanding presence, an excellent
presiding officer. me will undoubtedly
fill with credit the Office to which the
farmers of his own state wish to elect
him.
Ten years as agricultural editor of the
Freeman and Watchman of Montpelier,
VT. secretary and president for several
years each of the Vermont state dairy
mems association, and employed by the
boards Of agriculture of Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, and New
York at their meetings, assistant COM
mmissioner Of agricultural affairs, dairy
commissioner of the worlds fair at New
Orleans, member or his state legislature,
where he was chairman of the house
committee Oh agriculture, and recently
accredited by the secretary of agri-
culture to Europe to study the labor
problem, he is one OF the most con-
spicaous representatives of the farming
interests of the country.
Some time ago Mr. Tinkham was
Frustrated with heat in the hay field,
and from the consequent arrangement
Of the system suffered severely from
dizziness, so much so that walking was
difficult. He tried the famous Paine's
celery compound, which had been so

these bad humors. The nerves and
nerve centers are starving. Feed them
with the elements that will baild hem
up again." Paine's celery compound
embodies these advanced ideas regard
ing the blood and nerves.
As was to be expected, so remarkable
a discovery has not failed to attract the
attention Of scientific men all over this
country and in Europe. Medical jour-
nails have given Paine's celery COM
pound much discussion. Paine's celery
compound is extensively u,s.,a. in all the
large homes and institutions for sick
and aged persons throughout the coun-
try. Today it stands. unquestioned as
the most valuable and reliable remedial
agent at the physicians command for
curing neuralgia. rheumatism. dySpep-
sia. inability to sleep and diseases of the
heart, liver and kidneys. 1t Is pre-
scribed by the entire medical faculty.
1t is the greatest spring medicine,
''tie only spring medicine worthy the
name" says one physician of the high
est standing IN the profession. For
languor, debility and all forms of nerv-
Gus weakness it has proved its invaua.
bic curative power. 1t makes people
of all ages and occupations well and
active.

such patriarchal grand old age. was
accustomed to say: Now is the
watchword of the wise. Now is OH the

To quote his own words: 1.-The diZZi-
ness is all gone, aad am now quite
recovered"
The success of his vigorous lectures
upon his European experiences has
been marked. He is now residing at
North Pomfret. VT, and the citizens of
the state will wisely insist upon his
going into politics so far as to take the
lieutenant goyernorship: ii
Mr.. Tinkham's experience with the
wonderful remedy that makes people
well and Is as superior to all other
spring medicine as milk Is more nour-
ishiiig than water, is not surprising.
Men and women all over the country
are finding strength and freedom from
disease in Paine's celery compound. 1t

thy humors that a poor circulation and
faulty assimilation tend to produce.

BODMEIe WINS.
Campbell Gives Close Call at
Pool Game.


Last evening marked the opening
night in the Sterling billiard hall pool
tournament. William Bodner and Jack
Campbell appeared in the first game.
1t resulted in victory for Bodmer. who
won over his opponent in a score of 100
to 70. Ii required an hour and twenty
minutes to finish the contest. Some
credilable work was done by both play
ers. Bodmer made. for his high runs,
10, 9. =. Campbell's high runs were
also three in number and almost a
duplicate of Bodmer' 9. Z. A
pleasing feature of this game was a
bank shot by Bodmer, with the object
bali frozen 10 the cushion and the cue
ball at the other end of the table. 1t
brought out much applause.
The second game was participated in
by Fred Andrews and George Cox.
Andrews brought out much applause by
a four-cushion bank shot that was a
pretty bit of work. The game was won
by Andrews, and the score revealed 100
in his favor to rs made by Cox. An
drews made four high runs. II. Ii, ~. 9.
and Cox made four high runs as well,
10, 90. g.
This evening but one game will be
played. In this Bill Cummings and
Tom Larkin will appear as the stellar
attractions. AS both men are good
players and very evenly matched in
point Of skill. an interesting contest is
certain TO result.
Manager Gilbertson has put up a
number OF prizes for winners. A purse
of $40 and jointed cue will 90 to the

this, resolution H. S been Introduced in

States from responsibility for the gov

Second The possibility that Great
Britain and Germany cannot agree be-
tween themselves as to the control of
the Islands, and each might prefer even
the present arrangement to cession of
rights tv the other. But it is believed
by the administration that these diff.
flcultieS can be overcome, and that in
the near future the United States will
be relieved from further responsibility
