The Chicago Times. Herald pays a
warm tribute to the brilliant young
congressman Geo. +. Foss of the 18th
Illinois district, a native-of Berkshire,
aged only %, who has Just been re-
nominated. 1t says:
Congressman George T.. Eoss is
unique figure. He has been renom
mated because he is honest and decent
He has opinions but no money, and
all the city is wondering how such a
man managed TO win in the face of the
once powerful combination of greed and
treachery, which has now begun to
totter on its throne. however. He
stood for everything that his opponent
did not championed all principles
which the ring abhors. Mr.. Foss is a
very modest young man. He does not
claim that his denomination is per
sonal triumph. He gives the people
all the glory. He thinks any other
man of reputed integrity would have
been a successful leader. He was nom
mated for congress the first time al
the 18th hour. He had spent his
time and oratory in the interest of a
neighbor. This was during the wild
days of the railroad strike. The man
he favored was the attorney of a rail
road. The neighbor Withdrew four
days before the convention and Mr..
Foss was induced 20 enter the race.
This was his introduction to the
district He at once took the stump.
He made nearly 100 speeches. His
fame as speaker went outside his
own territory and he was assigned to
travel with Mr.. Mckinley during his
trip into Illinois. The Marquette
cluD called him for the Grant celebra
ton. He took the people by storm
and at the close of the polls on cleo
tion day there came the phenomenal
report that he had carried each and
every precinct in the great district.
1t was a record without equal His
majority was away up in the thous
ands. aud with this Endorsement he
took his seat. He won prizes from the
day of graduation at the school of st.
Adams to the end of his course at the
Union college of law in 1889. His pro-
fessional career was brilliant from the
beginning of his association with
Judge briggs and Judge Payne until
he had an Office of his own and closed
it to 20 TO congress. The seventh dis
trict is proud of him =

Taken in Time

Hood $ Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which.
If allowed to progress, would have I'M
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause
much suffering and even threaten
death. Hoods Sarsaparilla has done
all this and even more. 1t has been
taken in thousands of cases which
were thought to be incurable, and af-
ter fair trial has effected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and Joy
to the afflicted. Another important
point about Hoods Sarsapariila is that
its cures are permanent, becasue they
start from the solid foundation of
purified. yitalized and enriched blood.
But it is not what we say but what
Hood IS Sarsaaprila does that tells the
story

New Year Fairies In Wales.

Among the Welsh people fairies are
known by the name Of ~ tylwyth teg, -
which means the fair folk or family,
and. are believed to have remarkable
privileges on New Years eve, at which
time they are said to be rampant and to
possess unusual power. They are thought
to have great fondness for children,
and woe betide the fond mother who
has in any way offended the ty]wyth teg
during the now dying year. Let such a
mother watch carefully and increasingly
at the cradle where her darling lies
sleeping on New Years eve, for if she
fails to do so the malicious fairies will
come in her absence and steal away the
child and substitute for it a ''plentyn
neuid," or changing, who, though it
may at first be the exact counterpart Of
the stolen little one, will soon alter in
to frightful looking, shrunken, pulling
brat, not unfrequently becoming idiotic
