~ have never had days sickness in my
life," said mildle-aged man the other day
''What cenafart it would be-" sighs
some poor invalid, ''to be il his place for a
year or two" Yet half of the ihvalids we
see might be just as healty as he, il :hey
would only take proper care of themselves,

It's 90 strange that simple things are over
locked by those who want health. Food
makes health. 1t makes strength-and
strength wards off sickness. The man who
had never be;n sick was strorg because he
had alwa IS digestcd his food, and you could
become the same by hclpiHg your stomach

The Country Editor.

Champ Clark's tribute TO the
country editor was published in
this paper last week. 10 show a
proper appreciation of Champs
genero*s sympathy we accord his
testimonial, again, five inch:s OF
valuable space. Mr.. Clark said:
"He is the packhorse ofevery cemmun.
ity, tha promoter Of every laudable en-
terprise. the worst underpaid laborer in
the vineyard. Counting his space as his
capital, he gives more to charity, his
means considered. than any other ,aem-
Der of society. He is power in politic:,
pillar of the church. a leader ia the
crusade of better morals. He is pre- en-
i:ently the friend of humanity. Line
Hpoa line, paragraph upon paragraph.
day by day, lac is embaln,ing i'll cold
type the facts from which the Herodotus,
Tacitus, Sisinendi or Macaulay of the
fut. IRE will write the history of our times.
He fully chronicles our advent into the
world, briefly notes our uprisings and
our dowHsittinys. and sorrowfully records
our exit. We are all more or less-gen-
orally more-his handiwork. and the
creature SHOULD not be ungrateful to his
creator Without his generous and Ell :.
thusaetic labors most of us would never
have been here; and, vixen he tires of us,
nlost of us will returM to private life
amid rural scenes propitious for secret
meditation and silent prayer. Working
night and day during the campaign,
when the election is o,er AID the time
comes for the distribution of the loaves
Id islles-now vulgarly called ''pie"-
by some strange lapse of memory he is
generally forgotten"
This is beautiful and ought to
make the country editors fortune,
bu, it wont. Other people have
troubles ol their own. There are
perhaps more failures in country
journalism than in any other
trade or profession, but this is
more due to the fact that the aver
age country cdito, is totally unfit
for his business than to lack OF
appreciation on the part of the
public. No business can succeed
unless it has field that is capable
of furnishing patronage enough to
support it. No business can sue
ceed unless it is so managed as to
command patronage enough to
meet expenses, and to keep the
expenses within tho income.
The real newspaper man dis
likes being pitied. Pity in this
case is akin to disgust, not love.
He dosn't wish to pose as an OBJ
ject OF charity. He wants value
for value, and if he is of the right
sort he gets it. The average
country editor is not hard work
er and if he makes a living it is
more than he deserves.
One can indeed, note decided
improvement in these latter days,
in the management of country
papers. They are on more sub
stantial and business.like basis,
and there is less mortality in the
journalistic world.
The country journalist has no
reason to be ashamed of his call
Ing, if he is worthy of it, but it
needs mental athlete to fill all
the requirements of the position.

Few of those who attended the inter-

while many are surprised at the decision,

No FixatiOn in SINCE,

The common idea as to the path of the
earth being fixed in space" is taken ex-
ception to by astronomers, on the
ground that there are few, if any, things
in the domain of astronomy that can
really be called fixed space-the fact
being that unceasing changes are GO
ing on, though these changes are gen.
orally so slow as to escape the notice of
superficial observer, but are fortu-
nately periodic, so they fall within the
possibility of computation. Thus, the
earth's path is not fixed, since the
'ecliptic changes its position among the
Stars, in consequence of which the OBJ
liquity of the ecliptic undergoes very
slow change, so that while at present il
is a few seconds more than % degrees

MAN OF MANY MARRIAGES.
He Wanted Another Wife, But Felt
He Had Exhausted the Thing
and Gave Up at Last.

There are three matrimonial agen-
cies in Denver where hearts and hopes
and lives are welded. Any one of them
can make match quicker than the GER

home of his own with an angel in it

reached for one of the blanks which are
used to keep as data and began to ask
him questions.
Are you honest in your desire to get
married?' was the first question.

During the summer of 1896 handsome
New England woman paid visit to one of
the North side society queens of Wichita.
In due time a swell lawn party was
given by the hostess al. her home, to
western friends. Among those invited
was Will Beatty. He was presented to
the eastern lady, and it happened to be his
good fortune little later in the evening to
have her on his arm promenading oyer the
velvety lawn. In the course of the con-
versation Miss Blank asked Mr.. Beatty what
business he followed, and he replied: 'Pm

made this remark: ''In the east commercial
travellers do not 60 in the best society"
