made a special purchase Of Ladies and

such a bargain. They are better even
than the usual $1.25 shoes. OF course,
we stick to our policy of saying don't
buy too cheap shoes, they are so often
worthless, but in this case you save 2S
cents a pair and have the same risk as
if you paid S1.25 at other stores. We

PEACE COSTS MONEY.

Uncle Sam to Foot the Bill of Junketing
Party of Magnificent Proportions.
II costs a good deal of money to make
war, but it is going to cost an unusually
large sum to make peace.
As a junketing party of the most mag
nifcen. proportions the peace commits
sion is deserving of being given the
palm.
1t is alleged that Commissioners Day
and Reid get fee of S25, 900 each at the
start. Commissioner MoOre's fee is put
down at $4,000. The other commits
sioners get $3.50 a day, and this. with
what is paid interpreters, translatjrs,
stenographers and other attaches, fOots
up the neat little sum of $l,025 day.
That Is pretty fair for a starter, but it
is not all by long shot. In an excess
of politeness the government will pay
the expenses of the ladies who are in
vited members of the party, and there is
a large comic opera chorus Of these fair
peacemakers, exceeding 20 in all, it is
said
OF course, the gay boys of the com
mission Will have to be courteous to the
Parisians, and little expense bill of
So, 600 may be expected to be sent in
under the head Of entertainment"
Frequently the excuse is made by men
who are appointed to diplomatic posi-
tions in the service of the United States
thai they cannot afford the expense.
Such au excuse cannot be accepted I'M
der any circumstances in this instance.
1t is to be hoped that the expen diture
of quarter of a million which will be
entailed upon the people of this country
by the peace commissioners junket will
be offset by practical results.
Surely the laborer Is worthy Ofhis
hire, but when has Mugwump Moore
ever shown capacity worth paying
$4,000 a month TO secure?
Whitelaw Reid is a great man, and
$25, 600 is little enough to pay him for
the brain fag he will endure in the
service of his country, and as Former
Secretary Day postpoues the resumption
of his enormous law practice in the ire
mendous city of Canton, Ohio, for two
or three N )nths of course he should re-
ceiye $4,000.
But why pay the expenses of the la
dies chorus? But that's politenesS, and
let US be polite if we have to vote an
other war tax on the sweaty and insig-
niticant lab0ring man. Chicago Demo

Health and strength carry us through
dangers and make us safe in the presence
of peril. A perfectly strong man with
rich, pure blood has nothing to fear
from germs. He may breathe in the
bacilli of consumption with impunity.
If there is weak spot where the germs
may find an entrance to the tissues then
the trouble begins. Disease germs
propagate with lightning-like rapidity.
Once in the blood the only way to get
rid of them is to kill them. This is what
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is for. 1t purities the blood. That
means that it kills the germs, but that is
only part of what it does. 1t assists di.
gestion by stimulating the secretion of
digestive fluids, so promoting assimila-
zion and nutrition; purifies and enliches
the blood and so supplies the tissues
with the food they need. 1t builds up

MAKES ALL NEGROES WE'D.
A Southern Judges Way to Preserve Order
in his District.

A Charleston, S. c., dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record says Judge Thorn
as d. Green runs Ten-mile Section with
gun. All his district is populated by
tough negroes. He recently posted this
notice:
Notice is hereby given that ali negroes
in this district must come into court and
marry. The court holds that all coons
look alike, and as such they must wed.
Parties who do not secure marriage GER
tificates from the court will be arrested"
They don't like the rule very much
up there" said Judge Green. 81 let them
understand that they had to obey it or
get out. have married more than 500
couples. There isiless disorder, the fight
ing has decreased, and fewer murders
have been committed"
When he first went to hold court he
got 100-pound constable, who arrested
negro for murder. Five hundred ne
groes gathered, demanding fair play.
Green sat with repeating rifle on his
knees and two six-shooters on the table,
The constable, who was similarly armed,
had Davis handcuffed. To send the ne
gro to jail meant the judges death. That
was what the negroes said. He took his
winchester and stood up. That checked
the cursing. He said:
NOW, understand this, you black
people. | am judge here, anu what say
goes. See? Well, this niger has got to
go up for trial. l will take him to Jail
when that 20 tIain arrives, and 1 want
you all to clear out now. If you don't
somebody will get hammered with lead.

See?'
The gang did "see.''
A COMMITTEE of five once went to
kill the judge, but he stood them in a
row and tickeled the nose of each with a
gun. Then, appointing them commit
tee to preserve order, he booted them
out.

Doc A SPECIFIC FoRRHEUMATISM
what New York Sufferer Claims to Bave
Discovered

A New Y ork sufferer from rheuma>
tism claims to have found specific for
the disease. 1t Is a very simple remedy.
Most great discoveries arr simple. 1t
is dog. Not "iust dog, i" however. but
a special sort of dog. 1t is not to be
taken internally, or at regular inter-
walls, but externally and whenever the
diseased joints ache and the dog can
be induced to go to sleep. The
dlscoyerer's process is something like
this: He selects woolly spaniel and
induces it to lie down upon the rheu-
matte parts and go to sleep. In an
hour or two the sufferer will be relieved
and the dog will have the rheumatism.
The ache will not stick to the dog per-
manently, however, upon the first
treatment. After several hours the
evil spirit will escape from the dog
and make it's way back to the human
bones which it formerly inhabited.
Then the woolly dog must be induced
to come and take another nap. After
a succession of maps and unpleasant
aWakenings for the dog, the rheuma-
tIsm seems to take fancy to the brute
and becomes permanent tenant with
him. Thus the hair of dog is good
