Hale and Hearty

Is the condition in which every human
being was undoubtedly intended to be.
and whenever this is'nOt the case there
must be something wrong Probably
in majority OF cases the trouble is In
the blood, which has become improv-
erished or impure by reason Of hered-
itary scofula saints or from some other
cause In case there Is scrofula in the
blood there will frequently be erup-
tions % the skin, though sometimes
the disease assumes a different form
In fact a very large proportion Of dis
eases are caused by this inherited taint.
That the cause is Ia the blood is proved
by the fact that scrofula, salt rheum.
rheumatism, catarrh, and other like
diseases are most readily cured bv
purifying the blood No medicine has
such record of cures as Hoods sar-
saparilla, and yet Hoods Sarsaparilla
is always advertised az a blood purifier.
The way to keep hale and hearty IS TO
Keep tue blood pure, and II it IS not in
condition Of purity and vitality there
Is no better remedv that can be used
than this same great blood purifier and
strength builder, Hoods Sarsaparills 4.

NEW TEARS BILLS.

oh, the bells are loudly ringing
Ia n silver.plated tide;
THEY'RE ding-donging and dong-dinging
Through the couAtry far and wide
Der the snow drifts
here the crow drifts
Till he's frozen to the quills-
Hear them knell us
Hear them tell us
OF the
New Years
bills.
In the noisy rangle-jangle
OF brazen jamb
How they clangle, clangle. clangle,
Meath the stars that sparkle free
While the moonlight
Sees the coon light
On the hen whose marrow chills,
They are trem mbling-
Not assembling
OF the
New Years
bills
Oh, the old year out they're banging,
And they're banging in the new;
And we're on the music hanging
OF their gay whAng-doodle-doo
While were gliding
Down hill sliding
Till the sled upsets and spills.
Ring they madly-
Ring they gladly
OF the
New Years
bills.
Keep on with your brazeu clangor
Till your tongues are sore and sad,
From Los Angeles To Bangor
From Sorrento TO Bagdad
Keep on ringing,
Wildly swinging,
Though your noise our spirit
fills
With the sorrow
That we borrow
From the
New Years
bills.

NEW ADVERTISING SCHEME.

The country editor is kept busy
now day dodgins the slick adver.
tiscr wlth hls thousand and one
schemes tn get advertising for moth
ing Most of the rural press. even
IN the way back counties, have Quit
the trading business. Now comes
the checklist proposition yet, but
withal the frankost aud most Sc.
ductive. That of IL. ii. Warner,
former manufactures aud proprie.
tor of "Warner's Safe Cure" etc.
lie used 60 be u heavy advertiser
and made " fortunv out OF it, but
went to the wall in 1898, shortly
after the Safe Cure business was
orFanized into an English Stock
Company.
But Mr.. Safe Cure Warner nov
has n project on foot that like Col.
Sellers has millions in it. He HIS
opened out an Office in Room &C,
World Building, New York, and is
sendIng out type-written letter to
the newspapers, asking them to do
nate him from $50 to 1000 worth
of advertising, for which he "will
be gratefully appreciated and shall
be indebted to you more than can
express at this time" His ar
rangements with the capitalists with
whom he Is negotiating depends on
the number OF suckers he can catch.
Mr. Warner expresses it in more
ambiguous terms than this. but we
give II literal translation OF his
blank verse, The pill is sugar
coated and the hook baitod with
the following seductive clause:
"As soon as the Company is or
gtnized, cash advertising contracts
will b made with papers which
have donated space To me, ia a fan
proportion 10 the amount contrib
utod. The space contracted for will
be used aud paid for by the Com
pany At the same time that the
space donated TO me is being used
at the convenience of the publishers.
who will spend a large amount of
money in advertising 1t under my
direction, in case my friends CT the
press carry out the programme Of
donations of space to me. sufficient
to enable mo to procure substan-
tial interest in the ownership Of the
new business. Under the arrange.
ment made with the capitalists with
whom ] nm negotiating, my inter-
est in the proposed business will
depend upon the amount Of adver-
tising | can secure from my news
paper friends"
la order to encourage the hesi-
tating capitalist with tho Washing
ton Hand Press outfit and lure him
on in tho .ulterior path of phil
anthrophy, the "Safo" (?) prop
osition of Mr. Warner further de-
clares that
Several of the large metropoli
tan papers have donated five thous
and dollars worth of Advertising
each, and others, various amounts
from one thousand up"
We do not believe that any paper
in this State can afford this kind Of
charity, and we hope none Of them
will be indisposed enough to take
this kind Of a "Safe Remedy" AS
Mr.. II. fl. is naturally a Warner
himself, we shall heed the warning
and decline the invitation TO this
donation party.

indignant over the statement made
by the Baltimore Sun that he had
predicted the defeat of Senator
German aud the continued ascend.
ency Of the Republicans in Mary

hcation as false and malicious,
Senator Gibson said "Instead OF
believing that the Republican party
is in control Of Maryland for an
indefinite time, / believe that it
will not be long before the Demo-
cratic party, which gave the State
a splendid administration, is re
called to power. Maryland has
simply suffered from the wave that
has overspread the country, and
there will come time when the
wave will recede. The boilers from

An ADecdOte About the Genial
Politician.

Under the head of "Seen and
Heard IN Politics" the New York
World has the following to say
about Col. Jake Kemple, formerly
Of this town: Col. Kemple is prob
ably the best known spell-binder of
the old-timo sort left in the Repub
llcan party. lie is only about Eve
feet high, but he makes it up by
being over three feet wide He has
a voice that makes it unnecessary
to use telephone for any distance
under half mile, and he could re
cite a section from an agricultural
report in way that would hold an
audience for an hour at stretch.
There is only one thing that Col
onel KempIe objects to as profess.
ional spell.binder. That is the
local committee which insists OH
taking him around and showing
nln Tho sights or the town where
ne has been engaged to speak.
During the last campaign he
struck one Of these towns ia West
ern New York, tired, hungry and
possibly thirsty, about 3 p. NJ. but
there wse no rest for him. The
chairman Of the town committee,
who was also town clerk and GEN
eral Pooh Bah Of the community,
was waiting for him with buggy.
After he had loaded the Colonel in
he whipped up his horse and re-
marked: "Now, we amt got any
manufactoriss or prisons here, nor
nothing Of that sort to show you,
but we've got the d--dest prcttIost
graveyard in Western New York,
and I'm going to drive you up there. "
