Dear Aunt JennGe:-I think I would
en- oy writing if I could write such nice
letters as some of the "Chatterers" do,
but then as the old maxim has it I'VE
should not despair il we cannot do as
we'll as some one else. We should do
the best we can, that is all that is re
quired of u.s." I have enj eyed the let
ters on flirting. Something l do not
know anything about-that is, from
experience. Some seem to think that
more girls are guilty of flirting than
boys but I think it is about equal.
Some the Chatterers have been writing
on The liquor traffic and I think that
requires a thought from US all. I think
intemperance is M Of the greatest
evils of our day, and we as girls should
use our influence against intemper-
ance. Eva Plamondon's letter on in.
auence, sometime ago was good. Yes,
Eva, we all have an influence for good
or bad, and I am fearful we are too
thoughtless and careless as to what
kind Of an influence we are exerting. I
have seen girls who when with intoxi-
Gated young men seemed to enjoy
themselves as much as if the lips of
their escorts had lever been polluted
with strong drink. Such girls have no
influence tor good. II a young man
has no more respect for himself than
to drink and be with girls when he is
intoxicated he has but very little re.
pect for the girl who keeps company
with him. I have heard my mother
say that when she was young she
knew but very few young men who
drank and they were not respected by
the ladies of the neighborhood. And
why are there 20 many young men of
today who drink7 She thinks it ia be.
cause some girls will think just as
much of boy who drinks as of a sober
young man. Girls if we have any in
fuence over the young men, let US use
it and try to down King Alchohol. 1
was at church not long ago and there
were there two boys in an intoxicated
condition. I don't think they have
any respect for the Lords house, for
themselves, or for any one else.

what has bee 9me of that old bachelor
who did not believe in love. With
love aud best wishes to Aunt Jennie

Two Pointed Questions answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
get better price for ii?
Ans.-As there is 60 difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
Ter, so that while our profits may be
smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are GER
tain to return to the one remedy that
they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
Jug equal to Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by J. II. Janney,

trial evidence was presented showing
that Wark tried at first to dissuade
Miss Yates from undergoing an opera

would stand by her to the end. When
the Jury returned verdict of guilty,
Wark, addressing the court, protested
his innocence. Because he had chosen

EDITOR JoURNAL:-AS the cam.
paign for the June election crowds ON
we have numerous growls, coming
from Republicans.
In fact find there is a growing lis
content among the thinking and
more intelligent class OF Republicans.
They have been promised relief from
the unjust aud heavy burdens OF tax
alton, by the bosses, only TO be de-
ceiyed from year TO year. During the
uIOst unheard OF hard times in the
state and nation, taxes have grown
more buTdensOme. Interest on money
has continued high, while all the
products Of labor have been sold be-
low the cost Of production.
All these burdens have been en-
dured, but they have not been borne
patiently.
Last election hundreds OF Republi-
cans left their party realizing that
there was no relief for the people by
continuing the bOsses in power. And
today hundreds more of the Republi-
sans are willing and anxious to vote
for good clean ticket put up by the
reform forces. on platform of prin-
ciples which give equal justice to all,
and special favors TO none.
We cOncede honesty TO men in all
parties, and we believe further, that
three-fourths Of the rank and file of
all parties see and believe alike, on all
OF the important qustions before the
people. Then our duty certainly is
plain. Let US lay aside many preju-
dices and enter into this campaign as
independent citizens, contending for
a common cause.
Let such course be pursued and
victory will purch on the Peoples
banner
The Peoples Party County Central
Committee will meet January Is,
and we think we speak adYisedly in
saying that plans open, honest and
fair, will be matured tending toward
a lasting uuion Of all honest and
reformers.
