thizing friends often have many words of
sympathy for the bereaved widow and or
phans Immediately before and after the
funeral, and sometimes go so far as to
render substantial temporary aid, but
can't and DON'T KEEP 1T UP, and the
widow and orphans without property or
cash are sure to suffer.

Nothing Is More Uncertain

than human life. Death is inevitable and
often comes upon man suddenly and
unawares leaving his family and those
dependent upon him entirely without
support, and in spite of THIS FACT
many men decline to insure, or tail to do
so. Reader, are you one who has neglec-
ted this duty? Do you think, honestly,
that you are acting in manly way?

The first watch may readily be sup
posed to have been of rude execution.
The first great improyement-the sun
stitution of springs for weights-was in
1850. The earliest springs were not
coiled but only straight pieces of steel.
Early watches had only one hand, and,
being wound up twice day, they could
not be expected to keep the time nearer
than within fifteen or twenty minutes

The Brewery should stand Half the
War TnX on Beer.

EDITOR DEAOCRAT:-Fromt the toue
of two articles in your paper of June
9th, 1898. signed. respective. "A
LOCKER On" and ~ Home Man." it
appears that the saloon men of this
city are not unreasonable in their de-
mands on our local brewery asking
the brewery to stand a part of the war
tax on beer. Mr.. ''LOoker On" has
good reasons for remarking that ':the
Brewery and Ice Company is reported
prosperous and maning money" Is
it rot fact that the brewery has
made enormous profits every year
since it was established. and is it not
also IL fact that two thirds of its entire
output has been consumed right here
in this city.
The expenses attached to the de-
livery OF beer to the saloon men here
are not more than one-half the amount
Mr. Home Man claims, and the
price the brewery receives for its pro-
due is far more profitable than on
aay shipped by rail or hauled to the
country by wagon.
Only through tie loyal patronage
of our saloon men. the Board of Di-
rectors of the Brewery and lee Com
pany has been enabled to declare
handsome annual dividend of ten per
cent. 20 erect new buildings and place
in these buildings new and costly
machinery. All this is evidence that
tn brewery hes received strong
HON support.
At this time of var struggle ;hls:
