The growing town, these close d.v,

The growing towns these close days
are those that contain men OF push
and enterprise, who use their money
in such manner as to benefit both
themselves and the city they live in.
This can be done by Encouraging all
laudable business enterprises. invest
ing in enterprises that will boom the
town by furnishing advantages that
IL does not have, and also furnish
employment to labor. 1t is hardly
possible to estimate how much one
man with $4,000 can do in this way,
and when there is concert OF action
between q number possessing an
equal amount an estimate Of it's
booming and beneficial effect is still
more difficult. 1t is push, activity,
enterprise and goaheaditiveness that
wins in public none the less than 1t
does in private affairs. An attempt
to demonstrate this fact by argument
is wholly superfluous. It's q SELF
evident proposition.

The Dismsnsled Goddess.

Quincy Herald.
Talk about scandals! tho Goddess
Of Liberty is said to be in Jail for
running . disorderly house in Phila-
delphia. This Is the genuine Miss
Columbia whose face appears on the
silver dollar. It was . Philadelphia
girl who sat for this model, and Sat-
urday she was given q S-months'
sentence for keeping q place OF
naughtiness. This is the woman
whose portrait the populists desire
to reproduce in illimitable quanti-
ties. This is the silver siren who
lures the whiskered financiers of the
foothills to financial dishonor. This
is the gaudy goddess Of tarnished
tinsel who entices staid citizens to
the smirched orihamme of debased
currency by the light Of her wanton
eyes. This exposure should rightly
DO the death blow to the eccentric
financial holdings Of the populist
mind.

After each meal dissolve one or
two Of them in the mouth and, ming.
ling with the food. they constitute a
perfect digestive. absolutely safe fcr
he most sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it hat
time to ferment. thus preventing the
formation of gas aud keeping the

Tho Oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful ore of rosy granite which

this relic behind. That city was Beth

which is memorable to all Bible readers
as the residence of the priest of On.
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, the city of the sun, because
there the worship of the sun had its
chief center and its most sacred shrine.
It was the seat of the most ancient uni
versity in the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts Of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, Solon, EudoSus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there; perhaps
Moses too. It was also the birthplace Of
