thing didn't pay. It took money to run
it, and when Uncle Jake quit he had
lost his West Plains savings.
So he has bundled up his little all and
came down here to Emporia-he and
his good wife and his girls. Here they
own little home and here by Gods
grace they will pass their lives and in
the end be tucked away in the hill in
sleeping after hard work well done-in
sings on the Aeolian harp of the grass
and where the golden Kansas sunshine
throws its glory all the day. It is good
to see old Uncle Jake at home again,
for Emporia is his home. Here the
best years of his life have been passed,
fighting for the land he loved and the
people who cherish pleasant memories
of the good, kindly man. Here he
knows everyone and everyone knows
him. He knows the names of the dogs
and the horses. He knows the history
of each building and the story written
in each face-the story that strangers
can never unravel. His gentle hand has
written the birth notices OF many a
man and woman who reads these lines
tonight, and his eyes have brimmed
while he was writing the few obituary
lines that are cherished in the scrap
books of women and read of rainy Sun
days.
So we. will all welcome Uncle Jake
and his wife back to EmpOria. This is
their kingdom, and may God bless
them and prosper them and give them
content.

One of the smOothest, most pleasant
hammered young women who ever
struck the southwest, has just finished
a campaign in Wichita, Parsons, Pitts

She has books to sell, and she sells
lots of them. She is young thing,

if talking fails to eXtOrt the desired or
der, she has been known to throw in
a kiss, which always brings forth the

that she took away from Joplin over
5000 in cash subscriptions and borrowed
money.
From one young man she got $40;
from another SIS, and from a third $40.
This money she borrowed to send to
her sick sister, and would pay it back
in a day or two.
At Pittsburg she is said to have ia
ken in over $500.

GRoCERs Ar TRUSTS MERCY.
Salina Merchants Kick at Cracker
Trust Prices. But in Vain

SaIina, Jan. s.-Salina grocers feel
indignant at the action of the cracker
trust in making another advance in the
price of its products.
This time the price has been sent up
half cent a pound, making the third
increase during the past six months At
present crackers are selling for cent
and half pound more than they did
last summer and the increase all goes
to the trust.
The grocers claim that the advance
will not permit them to raise the retail
price, and as a result the additional
money which goes into the Golfers of
the trust, comes out of their pockets.

But 1t Is Soon cured by Hoods
SarsaParIIIa.

SaFSaP2rtlIas
Yes, ScrofuIa, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world = offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, SO far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
my daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectIy cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time.'' MARIETTA NJ.
