reply. As things now are, it is i'm
possible. \ money order for so small
sum is absurd, besides entailing
trouble on the recipient, and it is just
such trouble and annoyance that one
wants to avoid. Coin is of no avail
for the same reason that stamps are
of no avail; it is only current in the
country of issue
In spite of the manifest advantage
of having a universal stamp, the OPP
ponents carried the day, and we shall
have to wait until another Postal Con-
gress before an effort can be made to
obtain what will be a wonderful con-
venience. A universal stamp would
make the world deal easier to live
in. 1t would put an end to the stamp
fiend, and that in itself would make
life cease to be weary burden and n
vexation of spirit.

Mr.. Isaac Homer, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va, and
one of the most widely known men
in the state, was cured of rheuma-
tism after three years of suffering.
He says: 81 have not sufficient COM
mand of language to convey any idea
of what / suffered. My physicians
told me that nothing could be done
for me, and my friends were fully con-
vinced that nothing but death would
relieve n" of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evans, then salesman for
the Wheeling Drug Company, recon-
mended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At
this time my foot and limb were
swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst; but soon after I be-
gan using the Pain Balm the swell
ing began to decrease, the pain TO
leave, and now / consider that I am
entirely cured" For sale by all drug

He Was One of the Famous Heroes of
Modern Greece.
In the last years of Shelley and his friend
Byron the beginning of the Greek revolu-
ton turned the minds of these two poets
and Of all western Europe and North
America, coward the fair land which the
genius of BYRON had anew revealed to the
civilized world. Byron, in the early can,
toS of Don Juan written in 1920, but
not published till lS2l, had foreshadowed
the GrCcian revolt, and Shelley, in the
summer of 1921, when that revolt was in
fail tide of its early success, wrote his
drama, "Hcllas," turning on those sue
c2s,cs, and dedicated to Prince Mavrocor-
d#tO, SO famous throughout the national
history of Greece. In this poem he makes
Hllusion to one Of the most distinguished
of the Greek chieftains, Odysseus ulysses,
born in Ithaca, like Homer's hero his
namesake), with whom Shelley's Cornish
friend, Trelawny, was soon after to be
disastrously associated:
a brighter Hollas rears its mountains,
From waves serener far;
new Pencus rolls its fountains
Against The morning star;
a rev Ulysses leaves once more
Calypso for his native shore.
lie had stern and frowning look that
showed confidence and daring. His eyes
ana hair We're chestnut, his nose thin and
straight, his forehead prominent, his head
large and his shoulders broad. 1t might
be said with truth that Odysseus was the
very nan celebrated in the popular song
quoted Ivy PasSow:
sturdy rock his shoulders broad, his locks
are chestnut brown,
His breast is like braaen wall-no force can
break it down.
Moreover, he was very strong handed,
feet footed and able 10 make long marches.
They even say he Outran some of tho swift
est horses. Certainly he had few equals
in strength, courage, sagacity and physical
beauty. IF. b. Sanborn in Scribner's

MUST HUMP Y0URSELF. ?

Prosperity will never come to the man who sits down and waits for it, my son. You hear these calamity howlers saying great deal about prosperity, and that there is no prospect of anything better than we now have, don't you2 yes. Well, just look at that man standing oyer there on the corner. He has been talking about the great red dragon, and the combined efforts of capital, and the grinding aggregation of monopoiies for lol these many years, and only yesterday he was asked to take an interest in an enterprise which would bring prosperity not only to himself, but 10 seventeen other equally poverty stricken gentlemen of leisure. No son, when you hear these loud mcuthcd individ. . uals talking about hard times and lack of prosperity, and that the country is fast going to ruin, put them down as loafers, pure aLd simple. If you would see things moving along as though there was a fire some where in town, you must get a hump on yourself and take up the first thing that comes along, squeeze the juice out of it, and make something out of the juice. Loafers never prosper, never see anything good in an enterprise, never see any prosperity, in fact, and when the time comes for them to go hence, they will begin to question the angel of death if there are any soft snaps over there, if prosperity reigns there to those who never put their shoulder to the wheel, and the answer will be snch as will bring forth from them a vail deeper and *more pitiful than they were want to make upon earth.

PINE BLUFF. ARK. JUNE 12. 1897
EXPENSES OF GoEERA MENT

The public at large is interesting itself to Q great extent in the ey :. penses of government, and a close inspection shows speculative phase, fraught with fruitful matter for reflection. Perhaps the most intelligible way of stating the ex- penses of the Government is to state them per capita. A great many criticisms have been leveled at the Cleveland administration on good aud substantial ground, and while the expenses of running the administrative affair under Cleve- lands direction were less than $4,S0 per head, the source of supplies by other means was questionable. With the Mckinley administration this expense seems certain to be increas- ed, and from the advanced data so far obtained, a forecast can be made with a fair degree of accuracy. This statement shows that the eX- pense will be close to $6. co head. Mir. Dingley estimates that it will take $73, 000, 900 10 meet the excess of appropriations, above those of twelve years under Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland. That the expenses of the Government should increase year by year is a natural result; new offices are being created, new postmasters being appointed, new secretaries selected for growing legations, and thus an increase was looked for, but not to such a great extent. It seems on it's face to be wanton and unwarranted. This rapid increase per capita means, of course, corresponding increase of the burdens for the consumers. For every dollar secured under the Dinglev method of taxation, fifty cents will be derlyed from wool and AiN1 &EntS QHi NtA Ri1f1A't much of this will go to the Govern ment and how much to private in- terests and enterprises is question that directly concerns the public at present, Just what lieu may rest upen every head in this land under Dingleyism will begin to be mani- fest. It cannot possibly be less than $6. But if prosperity would only come with it, even this great outrage could be borne. The return of good times is what every one is looking fur. It will never be found under the rotten financial legisla- tion now in existence. The bur den of debts will increase, the weight of public woe will be added too, and thus will the power of op- pression grind on until the people as body rise and demand immedi- ate relief.
