the knowledge. that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

" removes That is why it is the only

who value good health. Its beneficial

Lately published: "At Bigelow House
in New York I dined with Conkling,
the crack lawyer, talker and, I should
say, characteristic windbag of the peri
cd. Conkling seemed to me an
insuferably vulgar, loud, clever person
utterly conc cited and self centered.
Cenkling talked through you
and over yoa and all around you and
quoted poetry whether you wanted to
hear it or not and answered his own
riddles and asked questions which he
never meant you to answer, being Of
the 4ature Of Cicero's rhetorical inquis-
les in the Ver1ine and Cataline orations.

Sioux City Tribune.
Some time ago an enthusiastic re.
publican at Atlantic, Iowa, proposed
that as soon as Mckinley signed the
new tariff bill this country should
have grand celebration Of the
event. A few politicians and vhe
American "Econo mist" endorse the
idea. but the project has evidently
been frozen solid by the ree~ ption
which the outrageous measure Of
robbery has met at the hands OF the
people. Still the celebration idea is
. good one for the psfioiaries to
act upon. and should be held in Now
York. They ought to have q parade
and march in the following order:
Platoon of Mounted Police.
The Oompah Oompah Sugar Band.
