There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable For a
great many years doctors prom ounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.

constitutional cure on the market. 1t is

JAMES ALBERT GARY.
short Sketch of President McKinley's
POstmaster-Genera

James Albert Gary, for 80 years a
leader of the republican party in Mary
land, was born in Uncasville, Conn.,,
October %, 1888. He attended school
at Rockhill institute, Elliott City, and
afterward at Allegheny college, Mead
vile, Pa, and in 1861 became partner
in the firm of James S. Gary & Son, cot
ton duck manufacturers. His energy
was quickly made apparent. An office
and warehouse had been established
in Baltimore, and in 1862 branch
house was opened in St. Louis. This
gave the concern footing in the west,
which has since proved highly profit
able. In 1870 Mr.. Gary succeeded his

Giving Away Trade Secrets.
An Ohio contemporary having
thoughtlessly remarked that it takes
money to run a newspaper, the editor
of the Saguache (Colo.) Herald rolls
up his sleeves, and promptly nails the
lie as follows:
ut doesn't take money to run a
newspaper; it can be run without mon.
ey. 1t is a charitable institution, a
begging concern, highway robber, so
it is. The newspaper is the child of
the air, a creature of dream. 1t can
go on and on and on, when any other
concern would be in the hands of re-
ceiver and wound up with cobwebs in
the window. 1t takes gall to run
newspaper. 1t takes scintillation,
acrobatic imagination, and half dozen
white shirts, and railroad pass to run
a newspaper. But money-Heavens
to Betsy and six hands round, who
ever needed money in conducting a
newspaper!
"Kind words are the medium of ex-
change that do the business for the edi-
tor-kind words and church social tick
cts. When you see an editor with
money, watch him. He'll be paying
bills and disgracing his profession.
Never give money to an editor. Make
him trade it out. He likes to swap.
Then when you die, after having stood
around for years and sneered at the ed
itor and his little jim crow paper, be
sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your weep
ing children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice a
bout you, forewarn her to neglect to
send fifteen cents to the editor. 1t
would overwhelm him."
"Money is corrupting thing. The
editor knows it, and what he wants is
your heartfelt thanks. Then he can
thank the printers and then they can
thank their grocers Take your job
work to the job Office and then come
and ask for half church notices.
"The Lord loves the cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors.
Don't worry about the editor. He has
