and tells a representative of The Re publican the result for publication.
 Rev. MT. Cook says: "I came here about a year ago from Michigan all
 broken down in health, had catarrh in my head and had cough and have been taking treatment with the most skilled physicians of both Phoenix and Prescott and failed to improve very much until consulted with Dr. Weeks five or six weeks ago. am now sat- isfed that I am entirely cured of my catarrh and my cough is improving as fast as I could expect, besides my gen. eral health is greatly improved and while I was unable to preach before, am now able to preach twice each Sum day. I believe that my lungs will be entirely cured under his care before very long. Dr. Weeks treats my lungs with electricity and I have been told by some that electricity was not good for lung trouble, but I have had noth- ing but the best of results from the electrical treatments. The doctor has done just exactly what he said he would do for me in every respect, and it is a pleasure to me to tell you and the public in general what I think and know of Dr. Weeks and his treatment. /"

Origin of "a Story Attributed to Twenty
 Handsome Women.
 Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, ac. cording to Mir. Sala, in his reminis cences published recently, the heroine of a story which has been told in al least twenty forms of twenty different ladies of fashion. She was presiding at a stall at a vente de charite, ol bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some asylum or another, when there came up the duke of Orleans, son and heir O.: King Louis Philippe. The duke, after some polite small talk, began to extoi the beauty of her hair, and, indeed her Henrietta Marie coiffure had never looked glossier and softer than it did this day.
 'Oh!" said his royal highness, eff could only possess one of those en. chanting ringletsr'
 ''How much would monseigneur give for one?' asked Lady Harriet, gravely: five thousand francs?"
 Five thousand francsp' repeated the duke; ia mere bagatelle."
 ''Six thousand francs?"
 Anything so charming lady chose to ask.''
 q will not be extortionate," pursued Lady Harriet; i've will say five thou sand"
 And then she very composedly pro- duced dainty little pair of scissors shipped off the adorable Henrietta Maria ringlet. wrapped it in silver paper and handed it with dignity to the duke. His royal highness looked very straight down his nose, and, re turning Lady Harrlet's salute, stalked somewhat gloomily away. But hi: privy purse duly forwarded the money next day.-Philadelphia Press.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
It Pays to Put Things on the Market in
 Prime Condition;


 Prime Couditioni
 The farmer who is contented with average crops sold ill the average con dition must expect only average prices. He who produces anything and puts it on the market in prime condition is the one who is going to make sales first and get top prices. The average man comes along later. No matter what you have to sell, put it in the best possible condition for market and see to it that you can adopt the same motto that we once saw in barrel of ap- ples in the east. When the head was taken out of that barrel there was eX- posed a printed slip which said: This package was produced and packed by John Smith, who guarantees that when you see the top you see the whole" The commission man told us that he never had any trouble with anything that man sent in. for his rep utation had been made. He not only packed his fruit and vegetables in the best manner, but sorted the sizes, and when the package was opened the buyer Knew Just what to expect rom top to bottom We know a farmer who takes his grain to market and dumps it wherever the buyer tells him to, and is then asked how many bush els he had. His grain is never looked at nor weighed by the man who has weighed it for years; if it is not in good condition he insists on inspec tion, but if he knows it is all right he un- loads and gets his pay. A reputation of that kind is worth more than good farm, for it brings greater return. Honesty is not only the best policy, but it is absolutely necessary to final suc- cess. Carelessness is the costliest habit farmer can fall into, and trick cry, while it may seem to succeed for a time, must cost more than it comes to in the nd.-Connecticut Farmer.

INTERFERENCE A DUTY.

Although hostilities with Spain are unlikely and undesirable, despite the csamor of militant Spanish souls that the United States keep hands off in the war for freedom now raging with such ferocity between the Cuban insurgents and their hated Spanish oppressors, it is the duty of this government to put a stop ito the brutality which has thus far accompanied every attempt to whip the CubanS into subjection.
 For months this country has rung with indignant denunciations of the failure of the great European powers to interfere between the Christians of Armenia and their Turkish perse- cutters, yet all this time, within hailing distance of the American shore sim dlar crimes are daily being enacted with no effort on our part to put a stop to the slaughter. ..r..
 The Spanish government by persist emily pursuing a course of oppression toward tits subjects, has forfeited all claim to friendly consideration on the part of the United States. It has mis- erably failed ito restore even the sem Hnl lay nf l I, 1-To iof H,,1~a which has been marched over and deso.ated to the hearts content of a half savage army of Spanish Hessians, and there is no immediate prospect of the war being terminated so long as a single Cuban remains above ground. For this, if for no other reason, now is the time for President Cleveland to demand human treatment for the Gu ibans, even at the risk of a rupture of diplomatic relations with the Madrid government, which, after all, is but a delusion and snare.
 No greater outrages have been per petrated by the Turks against the Ar menians than are scored against the Spanish in Cuba. If cause exists for intervention in the east, equal provo cation has over and over again been given in the west. eh
 Setting aside the contingency of a war with Spain being the result oi American Intervention in Cuba, an6 such an eventuality is hardly within the realm of probability, the duty ot the Washington administra atien to takt prompt action in the premises is nome the less urgent. Humanity demand: that something be done to put an enc to the wholesale shedding of blood by the Spanish soldiers in Cuba.
 In any event, fear of becoming em brniled with Spain should not deter congress from stepping in between tht patriots of Cuba and their vindictive lbloodthirsty enemies.
 [ There is such a thing as peace witt dishonor, and the United States gov ernment is getting too close to thu danger line for comfort

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers SarsapariHa enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibi't at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsapaTillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbfdding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong ito the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits"
