He SAID TOO MUCH.
chen He Discovered That lie Had Smashed
"A Beautiful Record,

The danger of saying too much is always
moro imminent than that of saying too
little. The man who is convinced he has
apprOximatCd the virtues of the Creator
and insists upon it to his fellow men is al
ways moro offensive than the man who Sc
crctly believes it, but spares his acquaint-
ances the knowledge Of the awful truth
A story recently related to Il representa-
tive of Hardware by the head OF large
hardware house in New York illustrates
the case in point Something of this mer-
chant disposition may be CLEANED from
the fact that when speaking OF MS en-
ployccs he says the boys, with an ailec'
tionato intonation born of long apprecia-
tion of their good points and KIND tolera-
tion for their occasional errors.
H. wns the intention of the house to put
another representative on the road, ana
the man they had in view had been favor
obly. though not thoroughly known TO
them for n long timc. Negotiations were
about concluded, and the signing of re-
muncrative contract by the salesman was
regarded by him as u mere matter OF torln
At final interview with his prospective
employer and evidently with the idea of
further inprcssing the lattcr with his de-
STABILITY. he said: MIR. ---, am an old
or man than you have been in this
business for % years, and / wish to add
that have never made mistake"
As the would be employer reached out
on his desk in an abstracted manner and
gathered i'm the unsigned contract, which
he slowly tore up in the same absentmind-
ed manner he remarked that it was "a
source of keen regret to him that he sim.
ply couldn't afford to employ such valu-
able man, that there was not a man con-
nccted with the house, from himself to the
dago who sorted the refuse paper every
morning, who WAS not constantly making
mistakes and profting by the experience,
and that the direct result of the placing
of perfect man among the force would
be immediate decentralization. As the per-
feet man slowly wcnded his weary way up
the street it probably occurred to him that
he had smashed beautiful record. Hard

Priceless Pain

"Ifa price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend Is worth its weight In gold as an allevt-
ator NY wife suffered more In ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al,
four bottles OF Mothers Friend 1t is blessing
to any expecting to bGcome mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers Of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad-
yertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier 1t
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger TO life of both mother
aud child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
Mothers Friend is sold by druggists
at sI,oo, or sent by express on receipt OF
price.

The congratulations which are
pouring in on the President on ac-
count of the satisfactory termination
of the war are well deserved. In the
management of the war Mr.. Nc
Kinley has shown excellent judg-
ment. He has solved delicate and
difficult problems with rare discre
ton and tact. He has displayed
courage without harshness and
dignity without egotism. Nobody
thought OF war with Spain or any
other country as n possibility when
Mr.. Mckinley was elected, yet he has
met the most exacting requirements
of war with ability and success. His
work in the past half year has beer
a fine tribute to the educational value

There FIRE half dozen patcnt medicine
firms in st. Louis, each Of which sends
out =, 1000, 600 ulmanacs each year, At least
II, 600, 600 almanacs, made in st. Louis,
are spread broadcast over the country
each year Tho almanacs for n certain
year are shipped out in the fall of the pre-
vious year, The average cost for making
and delivering them is from So to So and
$40 per thousand As every large patent
medicine establishment now has its own
printing department, the cost Of making
almanacs is reduced to a minimum.
Tho astronomical portions of the al
manac, including the weather predictions,
signs of the zodiac, changes of the moon,
and so on, are prepared by some astron-
omer. A certain astronomer in Massa-

tbe tests in competition with other weap
ons follows
For accurate aim the Lee showed 40
shots i'm two minutes, the Krag- -.lorgenson
32 tho Springfield No. l, 36, and the
Springfield No. 2, 35. In the firing at will
for one minute the results were as follows;

No. 1, "a and Springfield No. g II shots.
Upon the results Of the tests, approved
by General Schofcld, the general com.
manding the army, the Krag -.Iorgensen
was adopted. 1t has n magazine chamber
for five cartridges, which can be dropped
by the simple pull of II bolt. 1t is possible
TO load single cartridges and fire one after
another, rcscrving those in the magazine
for time of need, when the five shots can
be fired without pausing to reload. Tho

The gun the marines are armed with Is
the Lee rife magazine gun, with cali
Der of .236 inches. Its range for point

Smokeless powder is used with it, and Il
hardened lead bullet, which has copper
Jacket plated with tin. The gun has a
magazine for five cartridges, which are
put in at once, being fastened together
with "a metal clip. The gun can be used
for firing and relOading after each shot or
the five shots can be fired in quick success
sion, and the gun reloaded with five more
while it is at the shoulder. The chief ad-
vantage claimed for it is that the cartridge
chamber can be opened by straight pull
and without turning up the gun. The
gun without the hayonot is almost foui

that he voted against the regular
Republican nominees for Judge and
Poor Director in 1895, brings to mind
several other instances in connection
with the Lyon-Dunn contest. 1t is
asserted that Charles f. Berger, Esq,
was employed in the case upon the
solicitation of Congressman Brumm,

HOW MICA is OBTAINED.
Getting out This valuable Mineral Is the
Poetry of Mining.

The mica trade is controlled practically
by three or four largo concerns in Now
York, Chicago and Boston. These houses
have an agent who buys for cash whatever
mica is brought by the miners. They con
troll the market and fix the prices to be
paid to the miner as we'll as the prices for
which it is sold i'm the markets.
Mica, it need hardly be said, is very
valuable, almost precious mineral, as those
who are obliged TO buy small strip for
their stove doors will testify. A package
worth hundreds of dollars can be carried
in basket slung over the arm or in "a
pair of saddlcbugs on horseback. When
prepared for the market the solid block as
taken from the mine is split into sheets.
These arc cut into squares or rectangles
of almost every possible size from by
inches up to by 10 inches, and sometimes
even larger There are no less than 1873
regular sizes kept in stock by dealers.
The mining of mica is the poetry of
mining 1t is impossible to conceive of a
more exciting and fascinating employ
mcnt. The vein of mica bearing quartz
living between rocks of different forma-
tion, has been found Tho cap rock has
/ been blasted away. Little "niggerheads"
small Jumps of crumbling mica mixed
with slate and other rock-are growing
/ plentiful The rock is carefully examined
| by the experienced miner, and all indica-
tions are thatmica will soon be found. a
blast is made The rock and debris arc
cleared away, and there in the bottom is a
block of the precious stuff, a ragged cor
ner showing itself black and glittering in
the white quartz in which it is imbcddcd.
With the tips of the fingers the miner gen
tly and affectionately brushes away tn dirt
and small stones which partly cover it.
Its thickness is carefully noted, its posi-
ton in the rock is learnedly discussed, and
many speculation INDUCED in as to its
size and quality. The hole is quickly
drilled, the small blast is made, just loos-
ening the rock, and all eagerly crowd
around as one of the men with his pick
| pulls away the broken stone There it lies
a black, glittering mass nine or ten inches
across its face, or inches thick and ir
regular in shape, rs all blocks of mica are
A good sized block, if solid and of a per
feet cleavage will be wortlf several dol
lars Tho excitement is not allayed, how
ever, and will not he until the block 4
split open and we know how it looks OF
the inside. 1t is n very bad thing to spill
open block at the mine and contrary t.
all rules for there is danger that the fin
polished faces will be scratched. -Godey'

fixes this in his head and lets it "seotho

ready to begin work; he divides his time,
not into days, but weeks During the
first week he produces certain amount,
the second week similar amount, and so
on, week after week. He writes without
correction, and never copies, producing
just one manuscript-the one which no
sends to tho printer Each weeks work
continues that of the preceding week.
Though the plan Of the book is elaborated
carefully in advance, this plan is not fol-

know retreat where blaclibcrrics sweet
Hang low on a ruined wall,
And partridge berries play hide and seek
At the foot of the pine trees tall
Just out through the brush, where the robin
and thrush
Der their nests carol praises TO God,
You may see where grows in stately repose
Americas own goldenrod
Here fairies dance when the moonboams
glance
And lure me from mortals away
Down the messy lane whore they hold their
reign
And fain would linger for aye.
When day has begun, coms' the beautiful sun
For one hurried glimpse Of the dell,
That through sorrow and pain until day
dawns again
In his mind the bright picture may dwell
With the coming of spring, when the green
forests ring
with the glad, happy notes of the birds,
In the beautiful glade, with its wide spread
ing shade,
Are whispered the sweetest of words.
In the warm summer days, when Orpheus
plays
On the thousand stringed Tyre of the gods,
We loiter and dream on the banks of the
stream
And keep time with our angling rods.
But I'll tell you not where to seek this spot,
With all natures bright beauty in store,
For there mortals would HE, then the fairies
would fly,
And my glen would be mine no more.

Things You Can DO
Just as Well as a Learned
Physician.


Often II Is needless to consult doctor.
At such times you can treat yourself
lust as we'll as the most learned physi-
clan. When a man or woman is suffer-
ing from Kidney disease, the doctor asks:
" Do you desire to urinate often, and are
you compelled to get up frequently at
night to make water2 Do you have
pains in the small of the back? Does
your urine stain linen7 Is there scald-
ing pain in passing water, aud is 1t
difficult to hold the urine back2' If the
answer is "Yes" to any of these ques-
tions, your Kidneys are diseased and
decay has set in. Ask yourself these
questions, and answer them.
There is another thing you can do.
Put some of your urine in glass tumbler
or bottle, and let it stand 24 hours. If
there is a sediment or powder-like Sub
stance at the bottom, or a cloudy
appearance, there is grave danger. Your
Kidneys are surely affected. Sufferers
| with any of the above symptoms ought
/ to be glad to know that DR.. David Ken
/ nedy's Favorite Remedy will surely
/ relieve and cure even the most distress
| ing cases. No living physician can pre-
| scribe a medicine for Kidney BLADDER
/ Liver and Blood that equals FaVoIlte
| Remedv--not one. Nearly all who drink
beer or whiskey have diseased Kidneys,
but Favorite Remedy removes the bad
effects, and it also does away with
the use of instruments for pushing back
the sandy matter so that the urine may
pass freely from the bladder. All drug
stores sell this medicine for ST. bottle.
SAMPLE Bottle FREE.
Favolite Remedy can be tested with
out cost. Send full postoffice address
to the Dr. David Kennedy Corporation,
Rondout, NY, and mention this paper
We will then mail you sample bottle
free, together with circulars giving tuil
directions Those who suffer from any
of the symptoms mentioned above
should write at once. Our readers can de-
pend upon the genuineness of this otter.
