To Use Our Elm.

Princeton has been visited by gen
tleman who is DESTROYS of putting in a
stave and hoop factory. He proposes
to utilize the elm which abounds in
this vicinity, which is considered
worthless for fuel and which the farm
ers have great trouble in Kidding their
farms OF when they begin to clear them
up. The plant he proposes to put in
will ploy from Is to 20, men. and will
manufacture fat flour barrel hoops and
slaves. a saw mill will be a necessary
part of the concern, though of what
capacity the UNION is not informed.
He is perfectly satisfied with the
location and if proper encouragement
is give him will come here. He inter-
viewed our business men and found
that they were willing to help him and
has returned to his home to prepare a
proposition. On the part of Princeton
property owners it is proposed to Sc
cure a suitable bonus which will be
paid to him as soon as his factory is
completed and running so that Prince
ton people may be convinced that the
business is a bonafde. undertaking be-
fore paying out a single cent. Here is
a chance for the village to obtain
valuable addition and its citizens
should pull together and secure it. A
few factories employing the number of
hands this one gives employment to-
would add to our prosperity very ma

MILE Laos.
BY EPH. JACQUES.

In the wilds of the wild ring Wilderness
I Where Nature unrivaled awaits
The coming of man with his steam-drawn van
Is the Queen Of the Thousand Lakes
With her subjects gathered round her,
Amid hills and forest brake,
Where, with Shrek and groan and laugh ant
moan,
The loon wild echoes awake.
O Queen of a thousand jewels! g
Toss'd here in the heart of the wood,
Where oak and pine and wild creeping -vine
Thy crown through the ages have stood;
With white, feecy clouds floating over
And white-pebbled bottom beneath
drink unto you from your waters of blue,
And your pine-clad hills for wreath!
An island fair, on thy bosom out there,
With the grace Of perfection is worn:
Its tints quite as rare in monday glare,
Or peep through the mist of the morn
The red man here with never fear
Wander the woodland through;
Or, in quest Of thy gift, on thy waters drift
Borne along in their birchen canoe.
A playground rare for the fowls of air
Is the bay where buried braves
Are hushed to sleep by south winds sweep
And the song of tapping waves.
The white gulls skim or istlessly swim
Ger the dimpled blue of the bay;
The waters glimmer, CULVER and simmer,
AS they fade in the distance away.
o Jewel in natures own settingi
Division thy fair form makes!
drink unto you from your waters blue,
Fair Queen of the Thousand Lakes!

Daa'n3ss Cannot be Cured.

Deafness, and that is by constitu-

unless The inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

Don't Try to Cheat a Lawyer.

A young lawyer, just starting III
his profession, hung out his sign in a
Connecticut town where there was
only one other lawyer, an aged judge.
A close fsted old fellow thinking
to get legal advice for nothing, called
upon the young man, told him lie
was very glad he had come into the
town. as the old Judge was getting
superanuated and then contrived IN
a sort of neighborly talk to get some
legal questions answered. Then
thanking the young man, he put on
his nat and was about to leave, when
the young man asked him if he
should charge the advice, for which
the fee was S.. The old fellow went
into a violent passion, and swore be
never would pay. The young law
yer told him he would sue him if he
didn't.
So the old fellow went down to
see the Judge, found him hoeipg in
his garden, and said:
That young scamp tha.'e just con e
into town! I dropped in to make a
neighborly call on him, ard he
charges me IS for legal advice"
"Served you right, said the Judge;
'syou had no business to have gone
to him"
But have got to pay, jndge?'
"Of course you have"
well, then," said the man, Il
must" and he started off.
Hold on, said the Judge; ''arent
you going to pay me?"
Pay you? What for?"
"For legal advice"
"What do you charge?"
Ten dollars"
The result was that the old fellow
had to pay SIS to the young lawyer,
and SO to the old one.

Glasses to Read "Wi$."

It was a warm Summer day when
Upcle Ephriam Jackson, a worthy
colored man, entered an opticians
shop, and removing his tall white
hat, and wiped the perspiration from
his forehead with his big red bandana
handkerchief, sat down wearily on a
revolving stool, as if he feared it was
about to run away with him, and
asked for pair of glasses 'fer to
read VIII"
What number do you wear?"
asked the optician.
Uncle Ephrian grinned. Il guess
I wear two" said he.
Number two!" exclaimed the op-
tician in astonishment.
"Jis' two glasses, sab; one fer de
one eye, an one fer de ODER"
The optician looked at him with a
frown for an instant, but seeing that
the old man was innocent of any at
tempt to make joke, went on with
the business before him.

out pair, land see if you can read
the letters on that card over there"
Uncle Ephriam carefully put on
the spectacles and looked eagerly at
the card.
':Carn't read it shuah, boss,' he
said, looking disappointed.
well, try these" said the optician,
trying a stronger pair.
"No go, boss, said Uncle Ephriam.
The dealer gave him another pair,
and then another. Not one Of them
enabled Uncle Ephriam to read,
though he struggled ever so bar9,
and wiped his forehead again and
again in considerable excitement.
Look here" said the optician
finally, ''can you read at all?"
"Nebber could read, boss," said
Uncle Ephriam. ''Dey nebber larned

Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved
great success in warding off sickness
which, if allowed to progress, would
have undermined the whole system
and given disease strong foothold
to cause much suffering and even
theaten death. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has done all this and even more. It
has been taken in thousands of cases
which were thought to be incurable,
and after fair trial has effected
wonderful cures, bringing health,
strength and Joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about
Hoods sarsaparilla is that its cures
are permanent, because thew start
from the solid foundation of purified,
vitalized and enriched blood. But it
is not what we say but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does that tells the story.

Of prolonged typhoid fever case in
which the patient was clever young
woman local doctor expressed himself
as satisfied with The gradual improve
ment of the patient with the exception
that her tongue did not resume the clear
pink hue Of healthy youth. The other
morning, however, the daily inspection
of that member as gracefully protruded
by the maiden pleased the medical man
very much.
"Ah," said he, rubbing his hands to-
gether in a gratified manner, your
tongue is looking much better, Miss
Biddy. You will soon be all right.
After the doctor had gone the mother
remarked: "Well, Biddy, you certainly

Professional Etiquette.

An old fellow sat on a rail fence.
His hat lay on the ground; his hair
was tangled and his face wore a re-
vengeful expression. A traveller,
noticing the old fellows hardness Of
countenance, stopped and thus ad-
dressed him:
You seem to be worried"
"Am."
"What's the matter?"
Got duty to perform"
1T must be an unpleasant one?"
mo, the duty is pleasant enough,
but the waiting is tiresome."
"Why do you waltz"
See the house up yonder?"
Yes"
"Well, there's a fellow in there
that I am going to lalrup as soon as
he comes out"
He has done you an injury, I sup
pose?"
He has"
"What did he do?"
"Well, III tell you. He came into
this nighborlood about six months
ago and began to practice medicine.
I have been practicing physician in
this community for 80 years, yet I
treated the upstart kindly. How
did he repay me? With the basest
ingratitude, sir. Ill tell you how it
was. About two weeks ago old Peter
Milan was taken awfully sick. He
was as sick a man as ever saw in
my life. Why he had swamp fever,
rheumatism, pleurisy, and a number
of other diseases. I was called in.
As soon as I looked at him, I saw
that he lad no show, and I told him
that it would not be honorable for
me to give him medicine and take
his money when I knew that I could
do him no good"
That was surely commendable,
said the traveller"
"Of course but mark the differ
ence. That young snipe was called
in. What did he do? Act with
corresponding honesty? No, sir, be
itched in and gave old Pete a lot
of medicine"
"And killed him, eh?"
"Well, no, the scoundrel has about
cured him"
Yes; that proves him to be good
physician"
"a good physician :" the old fellow
exclaimed. why, he knew that I
had said that Old Pete couldn't live.
He knew that my prosessionalreputa-
ton was at stake. Why didn't he
let the old fool die? Why did he
want to cure him and ruin me? It
was an unprofessional act, sir, and
Just as soon as he comes out of that
house I'm going to whale him. I am
not going to be insulted in my OLD
age, and above all, I an not going to
allow young popinjay to ruin the
profession. Wait until he comes out
and you'll hear something drop"

La Grippe Remains
For Years in the System ifNot Cured.

This country countains large
multitude of men and women who are
debilitated and weak as the effect of
Ia grippe. If every one would do as
the Reverend Petty, Of Virginia, did,
this vast multitude of sufferers would
soon be well and strong again. He
writes:
Last winter I had very bad case
Of la grippe which left me enfeebled
and liable to cold at the slightest ex-
posure. I tried q number of rene
dies, but they afforded only tempo,
rary relief. I saw an advertisement
of Pe,ru-na aud concluded to try it.
I have been using it for two months,
and it has afforded me much relief.
It is indeed panacea to me. It has
invigorated me more than anything
I ever tried. I have recommended it
to others and advised them to send
for your pamphlets. I have written
of it to distant friends. You can use
this statement in any way you choose.
