what the Church Garnet Cost.

THE Chicago Advance gives the fol-
lowing estimate of the direct and col
lateral cost of church carpet. The
price was $500, but as the women OF
the church raised the money by Civ
ing entertainments the pastors esti-
mate was that when all the items of
cost were figured in the carpet had cost
fully $4,000. He reached this aston
ishing total by estimating the work,
worry, nervous strain, bodily weari-
ness and heartaches of 100 women,
the heroic efforts Of men, women and
children to eat the things which were
to be eaten and hear, see or buy things
which had been provided to extract
money from them; the colds, fevers
and other ailments contracted while
attending the entertainments and the
consequent doctors bills; the money
spent in other churches, for If they
come to your entertainment you must
so to theirs, and, worst and most cost
ly of all, the Generalization Of the
church and the curtailment of the le-
Ultimate giving which follow in the
train of such methods of raising mon
ey. But they got their carpet.

Thought He Knew Him.

DR.. Conan Doyle is a methodical
worker and hard worker. He pastes
up over his mantelshelf a list of the
things he intends to do in the coming
six months. and he sticks to his task
until it is done. He must be a great
disappointment to his old teacher.
When he had finished school, the teach
er called the boy up before him and
said solemnly:
Doyle, | have known you now for
seven years, and know you thorough

you will remember in after life. Doyle.

CHAMBERLAINS PAIN BALM CURES THEIRS WHY
NOT YOU?

My wife has been using Chamber,
lain's Pain Balm, with good results, for
alamo shoulder that had panied her
continually for nine years. We have
tried all kinds Of medicines and doc
tors, without receiving any benefit
from any of them. One day we saw an
advertisement of this medicine and
thought of trying it, which we did with
the very best of salts faction. She has
used only one bottle and her shulder is
almost well.-ADOLPU L. MILLETT,

Burglary With Sponge and Water.

When a burglar wants to break into
a Peruvian house, he takes a sponge
and a bucket of water and moistens
the walls, which are covered with only
thin coating of mud and easily dis
solve upon the application of moisture.
Then when the mud Is removed he
takes sharp knife and cuts the strips
of split bamboo, which serve as a sub
stitute for laths. That easy little oper-
alton produces n hole in the wall large
enough for a man to crawl through
and can be performed so silently that
people sleeping in the house will not
be awakened. Not long ago the resi-
dence of the cable manager at Barran-
ca was entered in this way. The
thieves frightened the family, but
were discovered before they had seized
much booty.-Chicago Record.

The Advocate must have got in a
hurry to retire S. F. Garmire from the
board of supervisors, as it wrote eulogy
of him last week and said he he had re-
tired. AS his term of office does not ex-

yet acting in committee work and would
act in case of called meeting, the re-
firing part seemed premature OF course
whenever the Advocate wants to praise
a republican county official we are glad
to see it do so, and we do not desire to
have it wait till the end of the officials
term of office to do it, but we do not
want it to retire any of them till their
terms are out.

PLEDGES REDEEMED.
Governor Lind's Promises Kept t,
The Letter.

Reform Press Bureau, St. Paul, Aug.
7, 18oo.-The assurance given in this let
ter one week ago that Governor Lind
would not be baked in his purpose OF
reforming the inspection department
was made good with rapidly occurring
events of the first days following. No
sooner was Inspector Clausen made
aware OF the situation, than like Davy
Crockett's coon, he came down." and
his resignation and the election of SEN
ator Reishus quickly followed. There
was never at any time the slightest ques-
ton but that Gov. Lind would redeem
his pledge to the people OF the state, in
this regard. The only question was as
to what ends those who have all these
