An American who had lived in Mexico
for 20 years came back to this country
few months ngo and visited the places
and people that were once familiar to
him. His opinion of his native land, us
reported by the Mexican correspondent
OF the Boston Herald, is by no means
flattering. There are "nice people"
here yet, but he thinks that the prevail
ing tendencies in American life favor
extravaganza, pretenson, hurry and
worry; and along with the overdriven
man we have the lazy man also.
"Just to test this labor question" the
visitor told the correspondent: "I went
to plantations in Virginia and to farms
in Ohio, dressed in my old duds, and
asked for work. There was plenty of it.
The planters and farmers were all will
ing to give me ten dollars month and
good board and clean bed all the year
round. 1 reckoned it up that 1 could
save $100 year at that rate and get fat,
too. / have worked hard in my time in
rough employments and have no fear
of sweating. Well, then, met some
young fellows in Washington, loafing
about the barrooms and in front of the
hotels, talking about hard times.
Boys said, there is no need Of loafing
and grumbling. I'll tell you where You
can get work; go over to Alexandria
and there's Mr.. So-and-So wants man;
another wants three, and still another
two. Wages ten dollars month, bread,
butter and meat, and peaches and
cream in the season. You can read Sun
days and learn something, and come out
with money in your pocket at the end of
the year. Why loaf on your friends and
talk politics? Better work. My re-
ception by these young men was not
enthusiastic. Some said they had never
worked at hard manual labor; others
hated farming, it was so dull in the
country. All sorts of excuses were
given, but not one prompted by good
sense and a willingness to do honest,
hard work. Now, that's fine lot of
young men for you! You call them,
suppose, the hope of America and all
that"
The fact is our cities are crowded
with men so that there is surplus in
every department of labor. The coun-
try has been emptied of the Drawn and
muscle that should be given to agri-
culture. On farm a man can at least
raise food enough to avoid starvation;
and if he is not able to purchase land
and cannot find occupation in our cities
there are farmers in nearly oil parts of
the country who will be glad to employ
him.

Means Perfection in Brewing.-The Best
Beers for the Best Places.-Served and
Enjoyed Everywhere.
1t is easy for those who drink beer for
either health or pleasure to secure a
quality that is pure, delicious in flavor
and wholesome in the extreme. The
choicest beers come from the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association. This is the
greatest brewery in existence. The name
and fame of it are world renowned.
Their most popular brands are the ORR
ginal Budweiser, the Michelob, the
Muenchener, the Faust, and Anheuser
and the Pale Lager. These brands, in
addition to having an enormous general
sale, are to be had on all Pullman and
Wagner Dining and Buffet Cars, all
ocean and lake steamers, at all first-class
hotels and clubs. They are the ideal
family beers. ''Malt-Nutrine'-"th food
drink"-and 'the tonic" is prepared by
this Association.

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav-
ing Dr. Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she
began to get better from the first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds is guaranteed to do this good work.
Try it. Free trial bottles at any drug
store.

Washington, ID. c., April 1.-THE Sen
ate met at noon for the first time since
the death of ex-senator Voorhees,. who.
until a recent day, was conspicuous
member of the body.
The opening prayer of Rev. DIR. Mil
burn, the blind chaplain, made eloquent
reference to Mr.. Voorhees, brilliant tai
ents, impassioned ardor, kindling elo-
quence, genuine patriotism and the I'M
selfish dedication of his great powers to
every cause, human and divine, which en-
listed his care. Divine consolation was
invoked for the family of the man who
had inscribed his name on the tablets
which perpetuate the great orators and
statesmen of his generation.
Immediately following the prayer, Mr..
German, of Maryland, moved that as a
mark of respect to their late associate,
the Senate adjourn, adding that many
Senators desired to attend the funeral
The motion prevailed, and at 1906 the
Senate adjourned.

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

no wonder. But wait a moment Let
us reason together. Perhaps thus far
your stomach is merely tired. You have
been eating too much, eating the wrong
things, and irregularly. You have given
it too much to do, and like all living
things, when Overworked, it stops at
length from sheer exhaustion. There
may not be an actually diseased condi-
ton as yet. Still it is natures warning,
and you must heed it or worse will fol-
low. Butt must eat or starve," you
say. True enough, but safety usually lies
in middle courses. Here is one for you
You don't need darstic purges or exict-
ing stimulants. Your condition is one
easily relieved if we go about it gently
and sensibly. The tired stomach won't
work under whip and spur. 1t has prob
ably had too much of that already. What
you require is something that is at once
food and a digester of food Such
an article is the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, discovered and prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Lebanon, n.
Y. Taken right after eating, so as mix
with the food, it does the stomachs work
for it, gives it the advantage of further
rest, strengthens you in a natural way,
and soon enables the stomach to do full
duty. There is nothing else like this sim
pie, safe, certain and palatable remedy.

authorize druggists to sell a trial bottle
for ten cents.

DECLINE IN SILVER.
No Hope That Any Action viii Be Taken
BY the Bank OF England.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Commenting
upon the decline in silver the Evening
Post says: The chief reason for the re-
newed decline in silver since last week
Tuesday, is the growing belief that the
Bank of EngIand's eudeavor 70 ''water"
its reserve with silver was made on the
belief that the condition imposed would
render such action impossible. The
price has been advanced on the publ
cation of the bank directors letter and
was forced up further by shortage Of
silver in London for immediate delivery.
But this weeks mail advices show that
in the second week Of September i'm
ports OF silver at London exceeded ex-
ports by $4,000. Moreover exports Of
silver from New York, which fell from
s743, 900 in the last week OF August TO
$3.50, 900 in the second week Of Septem-
Der, rose again to s745, 600 for the week
ending September IS, and TO $4,000
last week.
