women would be far better off, in
case, they bore In mind and acted
upon the proverb Of Solomon, "He
that walketh with wise men shall
be wise, but a companion OF fools
shall be destroyed" Prov. NH,
20 v.
What information and knowl-
edge can be CLEANED from the con-
versation OF ignorant men and
women? None at all.
Both young men and young
women should make it rule to
seek the society Of we'll informed
persons, from whose conversation
they will. receive useful hints
and valuable instruction.
In ancient times, instruction
was impaired orally, and it was
more lastingly impressed on the
memory OF pupil. Conversation
is oral instruction where those
participating in it are well in
formed.
The besetting sin of young peo-
pie is the conceit that they are
much wiser than Solomon and,
therefore, in no need of any ad-
ditional knowledge. Self-conceit
is the greatest enemy to wisdom.
Socrates said all his knowledge
only taught him how little he
knew Of that which was knowl-
edge. Addison said philosopher
might learn something from the
conversation of a peasant.
1t is enough to make the "angels
weep" to hear a self-conceited,
shallow, and halfway Informed
young fellow talk, oracularly, on
all topics.
The city should purchase ground
ON which to dump the garbage and
the dead animals, and then COM
pei parties to dump it on such
ground,
The health of the city demands
that the council should provide
some way for rain water to run off,
so as to prevent the overflow of the
streets and the ponding of the
water on other streets. There is
an urgent necessity for prompt
action in this matter.
A disconsolate tramp was heard
soliloquising, after this fashion:
The bloke, who said sail things
come to him, who wait" was a fool
and liar. L waited a whole day
for some "good Samaritan" to
bring me square meal of victuals
but none come near me, and L had
to get up and hustle awfully to pick
ur platefull of cold scraps. Them
poets are just burned fools mas
querading as wise men, and the
folks that believes in them are
still bigger fools.
State elections this year are no
indications of how they will vote
in presidential year. The loaves
and fishes in the presidential pam
try will create big scramble
among the hungry hordes. All
understand, that there be will no
loaves and fishes to distribute, I'M
less the democrats are turned out
to Craze on the common.
1t is pay-triotism, and not pa
triotism, that animates the aver
age man these days. "What will
it pay me-" is the important ques-
ton.
Cleveland is now at work manu-.
featuring ponderous platitudes
with which to stun the country
and charm his cuckoos, when
congress meets. He is nothing, if
he be not ponderous and platitu-
dinous.
#. Kalteyer, CiCampbell and
j.. Clavin, the druggists, will tell
you that no one is better qualified
to judge of the merits OF an article
than the dealer, Because he bases
his opinion on the experience of
all who use it. For this reason they
wish US to publish the remarks of
other dealers about an article
which they handle. Messrs. G. Il.
Moore & Co., Newberg, Ore, say:
ave sell more OF Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy than all others put

"Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy
