The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1898-07-07

We observe that sD::Ie palace coaches
lately turned out by :? car building COM
pany are more magnificent than any
that have gone before. The queen of
England herself is not housed in quar-
ters moro costly and luxurious than
these in which the plaincst American
Citizen if he hes money enou4 b, may
be transported from ono side o. this
continent to the other. A bewildering ar
ray Of white and gold color, of the finest,
richest silken plush, Of mirrors that
flash like diamonds, of rosewood, of
English oak, Of Circassian walnut and
st. Jago mahogany greet the gaze Of tho
traveller entering one of these gorgeous
coaches.
'Tis we'll. Nothing is too fine for the
common American citizen, if 10 has
money to pay for it.
And yet-we are panied to say it
tho American citizen would give up at
least half this gorgeousness and costli-
ness if no could be assured Of just one
comfortable day and night during q
long journey. The magnificent coaches
are horribly i'll ventilated, the alleged
sleeping berths arc as bad and cramped
as they can be, and tho poor passenger
is nearly strangled with smoke. He is
peppered with dust and scot. Give US
comfortable, sleeping compartments,
real little rooms, with the plainest bed
ding, SO that it is clean and we can
get some air. Abolish the frightful
dust, smoke and jolting Oh your cars.
You can do it. Put half tho cost into
one plain sleeping car and make two in
It's place, SO that we shall have elbow
room and breathing room. These be
matters moro vital to our comfort than
carven ivory and Tabasco mahogany.

Awfully small business that was
which it is said some postmasters have
been engaged in. The size of a post
masters salary depends partly on the
number Of letters that pass through his
Office, and this is judged by the number
Of postage stamps he sells and cancels.
The charge is that some postmasters
padded out the lists both Of sales and
cancellations by adding a number Of
figures to them.

A Man and Il Farm.

We notice in The National Stockman
and Farmer an answer to the question
whether in these times man can make
living on the farm. A correspondent
OF The Stockman visited the home of an
Ohio man living eight and one-half
miles from Newark. This town was his
market, where he sold his products.
His farm was only q patch Of ground,
seven and one-half acres all told, most
~ rough hillside land at that, yet from
it the farmer made an excellent living
for himself, his wife and two children.
He studied tho lay Of his land and de-
cided from the general easterly and
northeasterly slope of it that it was
we'll adapted to fruit culture. Into this
he accordingly went shrewdly and care
fully. Grapes, straw berries, raspberries
and gooseberries are his main money
crops, with peaches and other fruits
coming on. He built in the intervals of
work neat COTTAGE When the CORE
spOndent saw it, the flower season was
on, and the small house was set in q.
bower of beauty, with rich purple clus-
tiers of wistaria trailing from a wire
over the porch. ...s.y.--..
Apart from the improvements this
thrifty and industrious man has put
upon his rough little place it would not
be worth $40 an acre, we are told, vet
from it whole family live, and We
we'll. The secret of it all is to be found
in the character of the man himself.
1t is pity that good men are not al
ways good looking and fascinating in
their manners; otherwise the matinee
girl would make heroes of them instead
Of such scamps and bigamists as Rat
clitfe, the actor. From one side of this
continent to the other Radcliffe was
adored by the matinee girl. When the
one who at length ran away with him
and married him in spite of the opposi-
tlon Of her wise and rich father haf
him arrested for beating, kicking and
stamping upon her, it TRANSFERRED that
he had already another wife in England
and that she, too, had been forced to
leave him because Of bad treatment.
The moral to the story, if there is any,
is that good men should improve their
manners and appearance so much that
the girls will fall in love with them in
stead of with the scamps. Girls are
bound to fall in love with fascinating
men.

and money can devise to make this
occasion memorable in the history of
the Shenandoah Valley Agricultural
Society Mr. p. c. Gore, treasurer
of the organization is chairman of the.
amusement committee and we under
stand has several new features that
have never before been introduced.
In less than two weeks every stall in
the fair grounds will be taken; entries
are being sent in each day, and this
fact is an assurance that this feature
will be we'll worth attending the fair.
Mr.. c. b. Rouss, president of the
society, is showing an unusual
amount of interest in the success OF
the meeting and has sent word that
he will be present on Thursday, Oc-
tober 10, with large number OF his
friends from New York.
If our country friends have any fine
specimens of live stock, fruit or vege-
tables, or the ladies any productions
of their handiwork, now is the time
to make their entries and show the
county, state and country what pro.
gress they are making in these lines.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God
fearing men and women. have prepar-
ed Shaker Digestive Cordial for many
years, and it is always the same, SIM
pie, honest, curative medicine that
has helped to make the Shakers the
healthy, long-lived people that they
are. The Shakers never have indi-
gestion. This is partly owing to their
simple mode of life, partly to the Won
derful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice. Shaker Digestive
Cordial supplies what's wanting.
Shaker Digestive Cordial invigorates
the stomach and all its glands so that
after awhile they don't need help.
AS evidence of the honesty of Shaker
Digestive Cordial. the formula is
printed on every bottle. Sold by
druggists, price 10 cents to $I.oo per
bottle.

Too Gnnd to bn elected GuvprnOr

An impartial observer would be in
clincd to select @. l.. Schumpcrt us the
most ideal embodiment of the chief
magistracy. lie is IL man Of culture
and scholarship. He was educated in
Germany. He took a post graduate
course in the civil war and received
five wounds by way Of IL diploma. He
has Il broad brow and II ringing voice.
He makes the most logical speech of
any man in the campaign. His candi-
dacy rises above the petty partiZanship
which has rent South Carolina so long.
His slogan is duty and democracy.
He eXcitcs warm admiration where
ever he goes, and whether he is elected
or defeated will occupy Il warmer place
in the popular esteem than he ever did
before.
The only difficulty is that in these
days Of practical politics he is too good
to be elected governor. X Editor Baync
