Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House. Burton, w. Va, and one
of the most widely known men in the
State was cured of rheumatism after
three years OF suffering. lie says: II have
not sufficient command 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
convinced that nothing but death would
relieve me of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Company, recommended
Chamherlain'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 began using the Pain Balm
the swelling began to decrease, the pain
to leave, and now / consider that I am
entirely cured" For sale by II. G. Barnes,

Theodore Roosevelt, the aggressive

ment but he has done heroic work in
improving the police force of that city
and he is the last man to be accused OF
lending his efforts to the upbuildine OF
corrupt political machinery. But as he
has had some very Instructive expert
Ience it may be of interest to note some
of the conclusions he has arrived at
such, for instance, as these which he
gave expression to in an address before
a Phi Beta Kappa society last week:
: In your politics you must have some
definite end to achieve. The party man
who surrenders his conscience and his
patriotism to somebody else, | don't
care whether it be to boss Or a party
machine, l look down upon. hold in
contempt those amiable men who sit
down at home and talk about what can
be done in the way of purifying poll
tics, but do not go out and attempt to
accomplish anything. Such men make
The machine possible and necessary.
When you find that making politics
practical means making the standard a
little lower, then cease to be practical
politicians. When, however, you find
that you can do as good work for your
city or state or nation inside the party
machine as outside. stick to the ma
chine. am a machine man, although
lit may be difficult to convince some of
the party leaders that such is the case,
because believe that the responsibility
for the conduct of municipal affairs
should be placed upon one of the great
parties or the other. and not upon a lot

really supposed it would be- Doubling
the present duty on the raw article is

This story comes all the way from
Washburn and would seem to indicate
that foxes are in need of close timet
The story teller had occasion to visit
his wood lot and while there espied a
fox busily engaged digging under log
evidently after mouse's nest After
getting quite near the fox without the
animal paying any attention to him, he
finally came so near that he let one of
his feet out in a sudden manner and
struck the fox very near his bushy tail
The fox pulled his head out, jumped
over the log. and after waiting a few
seconds. jumped back and resumed his
work of digging, without paying any
