Certainly no higher testimonial, no
greater proof of a medicines wonder
full power to cure can possibly be given
than is here bestowed upon DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy by
this most distinguished statesman and
head of the government of the state.
Surely no one who is i'll, worn-out,
rundown, weak, nervous, discouraged
and disheartened by repeated failures
to be cured can require any greater
proof, any stronger testimony that
DR.. Greene's Nervura will cure, that
it will certainly restore health and
strength to the weak and nervous suf-
ferer, than Lieut.. Governor Fletcher's
powerful words wherein he states that
he has personally used it in his family
with greatest benefit, knows it to be q
most wonderful curer of disease, and
earnestly recommends its use by al
who are out of health and need medi
! cine.
The great Statesman says:
81 have long heard of the good ef
fects of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy and have used it il
my family. l have heard cases among
my neighbors who have derived grea'
benefit from its use and can truly say

became wild in the woods and so were

baseball were the common amusements
OF the boys Sometimes we played cards,
but were little sly and ashamed of
that.
"Some of the old and middle-aged men
PLAYED cards and even gambled on a
small scale, and at late and unseason-
able hours. But the greatest vice that
was common in those times was the
free use of spirituous liquors. 4
When l look back on those times and
the circumstances in which we were
placed, l wonder that we, the chill

were. Public worship was not very

not more than three or four families in

The story of "Eliza's" crossing the

long before Mrs. Stowe lived. Tive
backwoodsmen who came to Marietta Sc

ing Were Fools.
One wore the modest blue of the SAL
walton Army. the other the ragged raj
ment of the street waif. Both were
girls, and both were selling papers.
They came together on a Market street
corner. The newsgirl eyed The War
Cry lassie for minute or two, and then
Sidled slowly up to her.
"How's biz?" she asked.
The girl in the blue uniform and poke
bonnet looked at the little tot in sur
prise.
"Not very good" she answered after
a moment.
"Folks amt buyin de poipers very
swift, eh?"
'I'm not selling many War Crys, if
that is what you mean"
"Does yer have ter stay out till yer

"Take yer a long time ternight, eh?"

That seemed to determine something
the ragged one evidently had been turn
ing over in her mind,

mind I'll help yer out. "
The novelty of the proposition or a
desire for assistance caused The War
Cry lassie to accept the proposition, and
half of the Salvation papers were turned
over to the newsgirl. The latter started
in to work vigorously, and pretty soon
had the other girls papers going like
hot cakes, Ragged newsgirls don 't.often
peddle War Crys, and the people she
approached appreciated the fact enough
to avail themselves of the opportunity.
In perhaps half an hour the ragged
one returned to The War Cry girl minus
papers, but with little fist full of
nickels,
"Say," she said, cts dead easy
Wish't could sell 'em all dc time. Is
dere much in it?'
"Oh, my, mol" The War Cry girl ex-
plained. II don't get paid anything at

The "newsy's" eyes opened wide in
surprise. Then she voiced her opinion;

BEFORE ELECTION AND NOW.

The Pennsylvania coal miners, who
helped to roll up the 100000 majority
for Mckinley, are now kicking them
selves for believing the stories told them
by their bosses that prosperity would
follow his election. The operators of
Western Pennsylvania have decided to
shut down the mines for two months
this winter, as they claim the markets
are overstocked. The miners claim, how.
ever, that the reason for the shutdown
is to compel consumers to pay higher
prices for coal. They say shutdown of
two months will be terrible hardship
to them as they have been working
irregularly formonths at rate that gave
them bare subsistence. The suspension
in general will make 5000 men idle.
The telegraphic dispatches also show
that the Pullman palace car company
has reduced the wages of the employees
in the big shops at Pullman 10 per cent
This not only applies to the few men
who have been employed regularly, but
to all those who were laid of until the
election of Mckinley would bring pros
perity.
| e. D.
ufacturers of 1913 Wabash avenue, Chi,
Cago, have reduced the wages of their
employees 10 per cent and cut the work
ing day from ten 10 eight hours. This
was done, Notwithstanding the promise
made the employees that work would be
good after the election of Mckinley, as
there were many orders on the books
conditional on that outcome of the eec
ton.
1t is also announced in the tapestry
mills of the Alexander Smiths Som
carpet compsny, in Yonkers, n. Y, las
night, that one.half of the force employ
ed would be laid of today and the re
mainder by next week, and that the con
cern would shut down until January o
later, and that probably the other mill
of this company would do likewise with
in the next two weeks. If this occur
about 1000 hands, who expected con
tinual employment, will be thrown out

THE BAYARDs AND sAuLsBuRYs.

The fact that another of the Sauls
burys is likely to receive senatorial hon
ors in Delaware calls attention once more
to the powerful domination which two
great families have exercised from the
beginning in the politics Of the Diamond
state. In TIE houses of Bayard and
Salisbury the qualities Of political leader
ship have been so unfailingly transmit
ted from generation to generation that
the years are very few in which either
the one or the other has not been repre-
sented in the incumbency Of the states
highest Offices. In no other state of the
union has family influence been so
potent in politics.
DelawaIes first great statesman was
James A. Bayard, whose senatorial SER
vices extended from 1904 to 1913, He
was one of the strongest of the early
leaders in congress, and he also rem
dered able service to the republic as one
of the commissioners who negotiated the
treaty of Ghent Richard b. Bayard, son
of James A., was the next member of the
family to represent the state in the
national legislature, as member of the
senate from 1886 to 1889, and again from
1S41 to 1916. James A. Bayard, Jr., was
senator from 1851 to 1854, and from 1867
to 1869, having the distinction of being
four times elected to the nations highest
legislative body. His successor was his
son, Thomas Francis Bayard, who con-
tinued in the senate until his acceptance
of the state portfolio in 1885. 1t will
thus be seen that since the beginning OF
the century the Bayard family has been
represented in the senate nearly fifty
years.
The Salisbury family came later into
political prominence. In 1859 Willard
Salisbury entered the senate, serving
until 1871, when he was succeeded by
his brother, Eli. The latter continued
, a member of the upper house until 1889
!. when Republican legislature elected
y Anthony Higgins to the seat so long helc
p in single family. Cove Salisbury
n another brother, was Governor OF Della
n ware from 1865 until 1871.
