How to Get Along.


Don't stop TO tell stories in busi.
ness hours.
If you have place Of business, be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich setting around
stores and saloons.
Never fool in business matters.
Have order, system regularity,
promptness.
Do not meddIe with business you
know nothing Of.
Do not kick everyone in your path.
More miles can be made in a day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Pay as you 60; man Of honor re-
spects his word az he does bis bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford to,
simply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say "No"-no necessity Of
swapping it Out dog-fashion, but say
it firmly aud respectfully.
Use your own brains, rather than
those Of others; learn 10 think and
act for yourself.
Keep ahead Of rather than behind
the times.

The Hymn Saved Him.

Two Americans who were crossing
the Atlantic, met in the cabin on Sun
day night to sing hymns. As they
sang the last hymn, Jesus, Lover Of
Ny Soul one of them heard an ex-
ceedingly rich and beautiful voice be-
hind him. He looked around, and al
though he did not know the face, he
thought that he knew the voice, so
when the music ceased, be turned and
asked the man if he had not been in
the Civil War. The man replied that
he had been Confederate soldier.
"Were you at such place on such
night ?" asked the first. Eyes, he re-
piled, land a curious thing happened
that night which this hymn has re-
called to mind. | was posted on sem
try duty near the edge of a wood. 1t
was a dark night and very cold and |
was little frightened because the en-
emy was supposed to be very near
About midnight, when everything was
very still and was feeling homesick
and miserable and weary, | thought
that l would comfort myself by pray
ing and singing hymn. l remember
this hymn.
An my trust on Thee is stayed.
All my help from Thee bring,
Cover my defenselesS head
With the shadow of Thy wing
After singing that strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night I felt no more fear
Now, said the other, "listen to my
story. l was Union soldier and was
in the woods that night with party
Of scouts saw you standing, although
I did not see your face. Ny men had
their rifles focused upon you, waiting
the word to fire, but when you sang
out,

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years l have been
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. &,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval Of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years OF misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

A Sensible Heir.

A pretty little story is told Of a
young clerk in a dry goods shop who
has recently come into possession of a
large fortune though the favor Of an
old gentleman, ,distantlY related tc hin.
The young fellow listened with
amazement to the news mparted to
him by his employer and the old gen
tlemans executor one afternoon.
a suppose I must not expect your
services as clerk any longer, said the
dry goods merchant, with smile. 81

ooh I shall stay my month out, of
course, sir, said the boy, promptly. "I
shouldn't want to break my word just
because I've had some money left me.
The two older men exchanged CLAN
ces. The money referred to was nearly
three hundred thousand dollars

his mouth to conceal his expression, 81

The two men again exchanged CLAN

the boys unconsciousness that he was
taking his good fortune in an unusual
way.

HIS PRESENCE.

Thy presence, Lord, is life;
In all the sun beneath
There is no living breath;
Apart from Thee is death
Thou, Lord, indeed art life.
Thy presence, Lord, is light;
All, all is dark around;
From starry sky cen to the ground,
No dawning may be found;
Thou, Lord, indeed art light.
Thy presence, Lord, is joy;
Apart from Thee is grief;
Beyond, my soul, belief,
Nor show of least relief
Apart from God, thy JOY.
Thy presence, Lord, is strength;
Howe'cr so weak thy art,
No beating of the heart
When thou from God dost part;
His presence is thy strength.

himself into trouble by marrying two
wives. A western editor replied that
a good many had done so by marrying
one. A northern editor says that quite
a number of his aequaintances found
trouble through barely promising to
marry and not going any farther. a
southern editor says friend Of his

8 & Money.

The eostliest building of modern
times = the State capitol at Albany,
which has already had spent upon it
the immense sum of S2O,000,OOO.
The h.gb:st price ever paid Tor
horse was :bat given for the mighty
race horse ormonde, which totaled up
to no les than $l50000. 1t should
be remembered that this famous horse
never lost a race in all his career on
the turf.
Apart from race horses the largest
sum paid for a horse was that of $685..
600 which Senator Stanford gave for
Ariou IN 1892 TO Mr.. Forbes, of Boston.
The mos. expensive government
that is, as far as the Legislature is con-
cerned-is that OF the French. They
pay for it the sum of SS,75000O an
nually.
The costliest paintings of modern
times have been Meissonier's "lsl4"
and Millet's "Angelus.' NJ. Chau-
chard gave $l75,0O0 for "lsl4" and
$4,000 for the "Angelus." These
two paintings are, in the opinion of
all connoisseurs, quite worth their
money, which is more than can be
said for all the things which have cost
large amount.
The shah Of Persia, who owns so
many valuable articles Of jewelry ami
fancy goods, is the possessor OF what
is doubtless the most expensive pipe
in the the world, it being worth some
100000. The whole of the loaS
stem ana bowl are simply incrusted
with jewels.
There is a book, Hebrew Bible,
in the vatican library which Pope
julius II. refused TO sell for It's
weight in gold, and as this would
have totaled $l05,000 this may be
taken as the most valuable book IN
the world.
The greatest sum every asked or
offered for a single diamond is 81, l50,-
600, which the nizam Of Hyderabal
agreed TO give Mr.. Jacobs, the fam.
Gus jeweler of Slmla, for the "lmper-
la" diamond. This is now consider
Ell the finest stone in the world.
For cane that was once the prop
erty of George III. and afterward Of
George ". the sum OF $4,000 was
given at an auction in London. 1t
was an ebony walking stick, with a
gold top, engraved "G R., aud with
crown, aud also contained some
locks Of hair Of Princesses Elizabeth,
Mary and Sophia.
To the shah of Persia and the sui
tan of Turkey belongs the honor OF
possessing the finest mats on the
globe. Each of the mats is partly
made Of pearls and diamonds, and is
valued at $2,50O,000.
The largest carpet ever made was
for the Carlton club; it is a superb
specimen, and cost $4,000
The late Col. Nortb's greyhound
Fullerton, which won the Waterloo
cup four times, sold for $4,000, which
is the highest price ever paid for n
sporting dog. The well-known st.
Bernard, Plinlimmon, however, fetched
some $2l $50 few years ago.

Colonel Roosevelt would have
been Boss Platt's candidate for
Governor had he been less cratic,
less obstinate, less self-assertive.
But, now that the Independent Re-
publicans are pressing his nomi-
nation, he is becoming impossible.
Boss Platt's choice is Mr.. Fred
Grant. For this Grant was made
colonel, and quickly promoted to
be brigadier-general, and is now
sent to the front, and for this the
Republican papers have been sup
piled with reports of Grants sham
battles and original strategy. The
people of New York know Mr..
Fred Grant; they have seen him
tried and found wanting as Police
Commissioner, and they will never
elect him Governor. He is one of
the easiest candidates to beat that
the Republicans could nominate.
But perhaps Boss ~latt's policy
may Be to be Beaten, and then
throw the responsibility upon

The Burlington's New Trains

Railroad mon who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the LIST of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnif-
GENTLY equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace Sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking-library
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour, 1t is

LONDON. Sept. 12-The Manila corre-

The insurgent conquest Of the island Of
Luzon is rapidly approaching completion.
Recent authentic reports announce The
capture Of successive Spanish positions.
and at present the rebels control every
foot OF the Island except Manila. Cavte

They hold over 5000 Spanish prisoners
and have recently captured several thou
sand rifles. some cannon. large quantity
OF ammunition and several armed stands.
The spaniards held out valorously. but
were fighting against the inevitable. II is
undeniabIe that the action OF the nsur-
gents in pursuing the campaign
after an arIlistice was declared
has caused much useless suffering
and destruction OF property and has ami
hiIated their every claim to be considered
In any respect as the allies of the Ameri-
cans, Their motives have been two-fold--
first, an implacable hatred of the Spanish,
with an innate racial thirst for revenge,
and. second. their wish TO place them
selves Oh record before the world as a
successful revolutionary government and
as complete masters Of the Luzon prov
inces and as maay adjacent islands as
they may have TO occupy before the Phil
lppine question has been settled by the
Paris commission,
They are now free 10 withdraw their
troops to make an expedition against Pa
nay and 10 capture Iloio. BY continuing
the campaign now, regardless of the ar
