Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get a 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 a single sale they will
be much larger in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prOmi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain 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 it can 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 rene
dy that they know to be reliable, and
for coughs, colds and Group there is
nothing equal to Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy. For sale by Jones & Gibson.

The attendance at the opening of
congress was quite up to the average,
both on the floor OF the mousse and
senate and in the galleries. Speaker
Reed opened the house, his smiling
face indicating contentment that
must have been envied by those Dem
ocratS who have for months past been
engaged in overthrowing him, on pa
per. Vice President Hobart presided
over the opening of the senate in his
usual urbane and dignitied manner.
Among the noted senatorial abSenteeS
were Senators Davis of Minnesota.
FRYE of Maine, and Gray of Delaware,
who are detained in Paris by their
work as American Peace Commission
ers, but who expect to complete the
treaty of peace and start for home in
a few days, the difficult part having
been accomplished when the Spanish
commissioners agreed to our terms, a
week ago.

No man is better authority on
things congressional than Senator AL

appropriation. His opinions carry
weight because of his long experience
and the correctness of his judgment
in the past He said of the session of
congress that opened to-day: ''In my
opinion. the session will be an inter
est one, and many of the debates will
be of great Importance" OF the pros
pect of legislation he said: 1T can be
laid down as safe rule that if any
measure proposed is antagonized by
a determined minority, it will be
withdrawn. There will be great pres
sure in behalf of legislation for the
Nicaragua canal, and if any import
ant measure is passed, outside of the
appropriation bills, it will be the
Canal bill. That subject has been so
thoroughly threShed over that it
ought not to provoke much debate"
OF the Treaty of Peace with Spain he
said: 1T will be ratified beyond
doubt, and exactly as it comes to US

not afford to stultify ourselves in the
face of the world by refusing to ac-
cept the work of the commissioners

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Dec. )

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. 1898.
President McKinley's annual mes
sage to Congress is a thoroughly pa
triotic document from start to finish.
There is not word of paItisanship
in it. The message will not only be
read with interest, but it will be care
fully preserved, as it is IN authentic,
condensed history of events leading
to the war with Spain, of the war,
and of the results of the war, so far as
they are known at this time. 1t is,
in itself, alone, sufficient to place
President Mckinley in the very front
ranks of American statesmen, if he
had not already attained that posi-
tion. 1t is necessarily long, but con-
tainS no platitudeS, no striving after
effect nor bids for popular favor. 1t
is plain statement of some of the
most important events in the coun-
trY'S history, made by man whose
patriotism has been proven by trials
such as few men have gone through
1t ought to be read in every school
house in the land and studied as a les
son in current American history
Even the most partisan Democrats
find nothing in it to object to, which
is something decidedly unusual i'll

the way she fingered behind the old

the clerk.
"Yeup, was the answer.
Whereupon Mr.. Clifford wrote down
opposite his name, "63."
Then the bellboy grabbed his travel

The clerk dipped the pen In the ink

who had stood behind the old traveller.
then, turning for parting look at the
form just passing into the elevltor
car she laid her handkerchief and
pocketbook on the desk and wrote

Then she shot the clerk modest
little glance and finished out the line
by placing "a" after the signature. She

such is the following tale:
The woman was on the stand and she
was a very nice hammered, respectable
woman, who kept cheap boarding
house, and it was the desire Of one Of
her guests to be dishonest that had
brought her to the court to make him
pay his board.

reason on earth, for an elderly landlady

A gentleman from the rural districts
strolled into Pacific Avenue restaur-
ant Saturday night, and taking his seat
with a studied nonchalanca calculated
to convey the impression that he had
spent his life in travel. picked up tie
bill of fare.
After careful scrutiny of both sides
and the advertisements, lingering some
time on the wine list with a thrilling
feeling that he was in the very vortex
of metropolitan wickedness, he came
upon the legend, "All kinds OF pie, five
cents
Bring me pumpkini" he laid to tie
waiter. 1t came and vanished.
Applet" he said, and with a plying
reminiscence of the time when he had
wondered whether the price of The
yearling calf would be enough to buy
a pair of boots and overalls and still
allow him to stay all night in the city.
where living was 50 expensive, he pro-
ceeded to dispose or six more slices,
which exhausted the variety.
Picking UP the check carelessly he
Placed it on the counter together with
five shining pennies which he had
saved by patronizing the department
store and sauntered toward the door
He reached it about five minutes later
with the aid of big baker who was
summoned to assist the walters, and
fell into the arms of policeman Who
had been attracted by the sounds of
breaking glass.
