Don't Do These.

Don't steal another mans good
name, even if your own is worn
out.
Don't raise your hand against
your husband-broomhandles are
plenty.
Don't pattern after the busy little
bee. It's the other fellow that eats
the honey
Don't monopolize one color in your
make up. A ruby nose spoils the
effect of ruby lips.
Don't bet with your wife, unless
you are prepared to lose, whether
you win or not.
Don't look a gift horse in the
mouth. Sell him for what you can
get and let the other fellow look
Don't judge a man by the clothes
he wears. Form your opinion from
the wearing apparel of the wife.
Don't be a clam. If you must bo
anything of that kind, be a turtle
Then you will have a little snap
about you.
Don't take a bull by the horns.
Take him by the tail and then you
can let go without getting some one
to help you.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Although Senator Hanna recover
ed from the grip, he never once lost
his grip
1t is uthoritatively stated that
Mr.. Bryan has not cancelled his sub
scription TO the New York Journal
1t is fact that our poor Uncle
Dick Bland, of Missouri, has again
re-introduced in the House his for
lorn little bill for free silver.
Japan still adheres to the gold
standard, Notwithstanding the re-
ent efforts of SBnttors Mt1tle,
Dubois, and Pettigrew to reclaim
her.
The sockless Simpson declares
that he will never give up Mr.. Bry-
an, no, never, not if all the New
York Journals in the country coldly
throw aside the ex-cand1date.
Mr.. Bryan's remark that what he
wants "more than anything else is
a good rest" is heartily agreed to by
the remaining citizens of the United
States-in some quiet, secluded spot,
Mr. Bryan.
There is no longer any shadow of
doubt as to the President s intention
to stand by the declarations of the
st. Louis platform in their broadcast
and most comprehensive sense as
regards international bimetallism
Democratic free-traders who
claimed that the enactment of the
Dingley law would ruin our market
abroad are not saying anything
about the official figures showing
the exports of 1897 to have been the
largest in the history of the country
The Populist Convention recently
held in st. Louis vehemently de
clared against further fusion with
Democrats. The leaders attributed
all the confusion and loss of strength
during the past two years to the en-
tangling alliance entered into with
the Democrats. The leaders declared
absolutely against any further com
binntions of the sort.
1t is amusing to hear Mr.. Bryan
talk about giving the American peo-
pie an American financial system,
supposedly a system looking to the
equal use of both gold and silver, and
then see him go to Mexico and bring
back glowing accounts of the Mexi-
can system, under whose operation
no coin but silver is seen or used
from one years end to the other.
Of course the calamity howlers
who still claim that the times
are as hard as ever take no apparent
amount of the fact that there were
1877 less business failures in 1897
than in 1896, and that the aggregate
value of the failures for 1897 was
$72, 900, 900 less than 1896. Calam-
ity howlers never do take any ac-
count of such unimportant figures
as these.

Did Not Do Miracles.

A little town near Providence
boasts a church whose pastor, be-
sides being an eloquent preacher, is
a man of stalwart proportions. At
one of his evening prayer meetings
the services were disturbed by two
young men, who audibly scoffed at
everything they saw or heard.
Finally the pastor demonstrated
with them on their behavior, and
asked them why they attended the
meeting.
1--WE came expecting to see mira
cles performed, impudently replied
one of the rascals. Leaving tre
desk and walking quietly down the
aisle, the pastor seized one after the
other by the collar, and, as they
disappeared out of the door, re-
marked 1--WE don't perform mira
cles here, but we do cast out devils.

Cure

is what many a mother is looking
for; something absolutely safe and
reliable, that will disarm her terror
of that dread rattling, strangling
cough, so fearful to the mother, so
fatal to the child. Ayers Cherry
Pectoral is a Group cure that can be
relied on. Thousands say so.
MRS. W. J. DICKSON (''Stanford Eveleth y
writes from Truro, N. S. =
"That terror of mothers, the startling,
croupy cough, never alarmed me 50 long as
had bottle Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral in the

"We have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral in
our family for years. Once when our boy
had severe attack Of Group, we thought
that he would die. But we broke up the
attack by using Ayers Cherry Pectorsl."

ed ill Etholen bay, and back to the starting point. On the first start the canoes fouled, and Judge J. F.. Coffin called them back, and had them start over. They got good second start, and fast and furious the Indians dip ped their paddles. They went around the ark like quarter horses, and on the home stretch they stood up in their ca the water. Skookum Jim's canoe had the lead soon after the start and gradu- ally distanced their competitors, whose steering was not good. The large crowds on Mckinnon's dock and the C. P. k. wharf enjoyed the sport immensely, and cheercd the victors heartily. The prize was ten dollars cash. There were four paddle men and one steersman ill each canoe.
 In the evening Jack Collins got up impromptu races on Front Street for the boys, taking up collection for the prizes.
 There were four dances held in the evening. In Mckinnon hall over fifty couples of the elite tripped the light fantastic to the music of Prof. C. II. Edson's string band. Jack Hunter and Charlie Merrill were the managers. The number of new faces present occasion ed much remark
 The half-natives held dance in the office of Clark, Ingersoll & Weymouth under the management of Mesdames Clark, Lewis and Fletcher. About twen- ty-tye handsome couples worshipped at the shrine of Terpsichore. J. F. Coffin was the chief musician.
 Two full-blood Indian dances were held in other halls.
 And thus the glorious Fourth was fired in and danced out.
