Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a
better article than your competitors
If you can not get better price for
ii?
Ans.--As there is no difference
i'll the price tie public will buv only
the better, 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 prom
inently 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
Shamberlain'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 certain
to return to the one remedy that
they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is
nothing equal to Chamberlain s

Some ingenious politicians are
trying to invent a scheme by which
they can force people to vote at all
general elections. Their plan thus
lar Is to assess a poll tax of $40
against each male citizen over 21
years of age, to be annulled in case
the tax payer votes at each general
election, otherwise il is to be COL
lected. Their excuse for proposing
such penalty is that 5000 voters
neglected to exercise the right of
suffrage in the state ofWashington

The Doctor arose and went out into

Glancing over towards the Siletz,
there appeared to be a rain of fire

the rivers bank. Just ahead of
him he espied solitary individual,
who, with folded arms, would gaze
first at the flashing meteo1s over

light in the water. The solitary
Individual was Marsh Simpson.

The senior member of the firm of

glance at the awe inspiring scene

HE GREAT METEORIC SHOWER,
AS Witnessed by Various Citizens of
Elk City.

A few of the leading journals of
the land had taken pains to an
nounce that on the night of Nov.
27, the earth would pass through
zone of flaming meteors. The
great American people i'll general,
and the residents of this quiet burg
in particular, more intent on the
record of storm and disaster, and
murder and intrigue and politics,
and other matters strictly mundane,
had never read, or having read, had
forgotten, the published program
of the heavenly display, and re-
tired to their beds all unconscious of
the dazzling pyrotechnic panorama
to which mother earth was hasten
ing at the rate of nineteen miles a
second. A a rule this coast country
is not a desirable place to view
falling stars. The prevailing clouds
and fogs bar the people from very
extended view Of the heavens, or
anything that may come down from
them. But on the night ofthe 27th
Elk City was more fortunate than
most of her sister towns. The
thunder storm, that ragged during
the fore part of the night, made a
rift in the clouds, rolling them back
onto the Alsea and the Slletz, leav-
ing strip of clear sky over Elk
City.
Rufe, the genial host of the Elk
City Hotel, had retired early, as is
his custom, and lain himself down
to pleasant dreams. From these
pleasant dreams he awoke with the
presentiment that some terrible
calamity was threatening him OF
the city. He arose and looked out.
The heavens were all ahame, and
burning meteors flashed among the
fir boughs OH the bill tops like a
million electric lights. Rufe
thought that the end of the world
had come. His past life passed
before him in rapid review. Il

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Some cows do not like some mixers,
and il is Lnwise TO have them MIXED by
such persons.
Unless it is an extraordinary good
COW, an habitun kicker is too much
Of nuisance to fool with.
It took long time to stop the fraudu-
lent sale of oeomargarine, but the law
has triumphed n. last.
The laws Of heredity will sometimes
transmit the habits of the parent and a
COW with bad habits is not entirely sale
to breed from.
Never trust the milking of heifer to
any one who has not good stock of
patience and judgment. Lack of either
may ruin the COW.
The farmer is foolish ever to buy cod
liver oil Cream and butter answer the
purposes, medicinal and for nourish-
ment--much better.
Sore teats can often be cured by vase
line, which is one Of the simplest and
best remedies we have for ordinary
sores. So is the extract of witch hazel
