SOMEWHERE.

Somewhere the wind IS blowing, thought as ioiled along In the burning heai of the noontide. And the fancy made me strong-y Yes, somewhere the wind is blowing Though here where gasp and sigh Not breath of air is stirring.
 Not Q cloud in the burning sky. Somewhere the thing we long for Exists on earth's wide bound, Somewhere the sun is shining
 When winter nips the ground, Somewhere ihe flowers are springing, Somewhere the corn is brown And ready unto the harvest
 To feed the hungry town. Somewhere the twilight gathers, And weary men lay by The burden of the daytime And, wrapped in slumber. lie; Somewhere the day is breaking,
 And gloom and darkness flee. Though storms our bark are tossing. There's somewhere placid sea. And thus, 1 thought, 'tis always, In this mysterious life, There's always gladness somewhere In spite of it's pain and strife, And somewhere the sin and sorrow Of earth are known no more. Somewhere our weary spirits
 Shall find a peaceful shore. Somewhere the things that try uo Shall all have passed away And doubt and fear no longer
 Impede the perfect day. Oh, brother, though the darkne7s
 Around thy soul be east, The earth is rolling sunward,
 And light shall cone at lasti

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better ar ticle than your competitor If you can not get better price for it?
 Ans.--As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought prominent ly 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 Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that 1t can always be depend ed upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliahl-, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. j

chairman. and elected. In assuming
his duties, Mr.. Mckinney made a
speech. He. like so many of his
county people. has chased the phan-
tom republican nomination and
found it elusive. and accordingly
is distinguished by n philo-
sophical countenance. which adorns
a Websterian head. He talked
philosophically, too. Party success.
he held, should be held above individ-
ual ambition or local pride. Whatever
was done it should be for the success
of the republican party. All else was
secondary. What the convention
would do would be for the best. and
all elements represented should unite
in upholding the result.

night. however It was learned that the McDufee-
Michael race was OF, and that the men would not
meet at Manhattan Beach or anywhere else next
Saturday Instead Of meeting McDunee again
Michael will compete against Tom Linton In q
thirty five mile paced race. BY the terms OF the
match each will be permitted to use un-
limited pacemakers.
II was intimated that the McDuffee- Michael
match had fallen through because McDunee's man.
ager wanted the distance to be fifteen miles and
each man limited 70 thtrty-cwo pacemakers
The Michael people would not agree 10 these
terms. They insisted That the race should be at
eest twenty-five miles, and the number OF pace
