Fishing for Health.

When a man breaks down with that
dread disease, consumption, and recognizes
his condition. he starts out to fish for
health. He tries this thing ard that ding.
He ~consults this docjof ard tlat Coc;of.
He INDUCES III all kinds ol absurd athletic
exercises. Hc tries first one climate and
then another. He tries the rest cure and
the work cure. Re grows steadily worse.
That is the story OF most consuniptivcs
Finally, when the constnptlvc dies. Tie
doctor ehruCS KS shoulders and ptuiuunces
consumption incurable. 4 thirty yeats
test of Or. Pierce's Golden Medical DIS
cove7y has demonstrated TIT Il cures oS
per cent. of al casts of consumption, if
taken IN NE earlier stages OF the disease,
before the lungs arc TOO far wasted. In 4
c~ousumDtive theIe 10 4 weaker spot than
even the lungs. That spot is the stomach.
: consumptivc never really begins to die
until his stomach gives out. The Golden
Medical Discovery" not only braces up
the stomach, but acts directly on the
lungs, healing them and driving out all
impurities. Honest medicine dealers will
not urge you to take an inferior substitute.

Wherever constipation is one OF the COM

remedy is DR.. pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
which are always effective, yet absolutely
mild and harmless. There never was any
remedy invented which can take theu

PRIVATE POsTOFFICEs.

The especially ingenious and safe method of secret poisoning employed by the murderer whom the New York police are now vainly seeking has fer it's basis the existence of the private postof1ca. Without the aid of that in stitption the scheme would be practi- cally unavoidable. This is but one in stance Of an infinite variety of illegiti- mate uses, dangerous to the comnun- ity, to which the private poStoff1ce can be put by fools and scoundEels. We know no legitimate purpose for which any man or woman can really need the aid of private postofhce. It strikes Us that now would be an excellent time for the New York police authorities to thoroughly investigate this private pcstof5ce business. Indeed it is pos sible that the federal authorities might, by investigation, find some fea- lures of it to which they could legiti- mately give their active attention-- Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

THE DRUMMBR's EXPERIENCE.

4 drummer lost his way in a south west Georgia country where there was a good deal of religious enthusiasm at that time. So he gave his horse the rein, and made the best of it.
 Presently he was confronted by a sign board, nailed to pine trees at the forks Of a road.
 The sign read:
 Turn, sinner, turni''
 The drummer followed it's advice and turned on the road nearest the sign.
 4 little further on he was confronted by another sign:
 You are on your way to He'll"
 That was rough, but like many an other man, he kept cn. Yet one more sign board faced him:
 Sinner, you are lost forever!"
 God help us!" cried the drummer Between all these signs, what's d poor lost devil to do?"
 Git right down on your knees" cried voice from the bushes, "an cry fer mercyt Down with you, an holler fer grace."
 That was too much for him, and, putting spurs to his horse, he fled like the wind; nor did he stop until he reached a railroad, where he signaled freight train and shook the dust of that ghostly neighborhood from his ShOes.-Atlanta Constitution

E"The Courier understands that an other tax exemption measure is to be brought before the Twentieth Iegisla- ture. If any democrat contemplates voting fer such measure, the Courier would like to have him stand up and give his reasons for being a democrat and then give his reasons for exempt ing the rich and powerful from taxa tion, while the struggling pooA are as sessed and taxed full value for all they own If passing class legislation in favor Of the rich is done, it cannot be done except by direct violation Of the fundamental principles of democracy, and those who do it will do so in vio- lation of their party creed and will be held responsible as individuals and not as democrats, for class 1eglslaJIun Is as foreign to the tenets of the democratic creed as murder is to the teachings of the golden rule.

A CHAMPION HORSEMAN.
He Has Ridden 24S.O0O Miles 'in
 Twenty Years.

The champion long-distance horse back rider of tine world resides near Allensville. He is a prominent farmer living three and one-half miles from this place, and owns another farm one miles and three-quarters from where he resides. Every morning bright and early he rides to the back of the farm where he resides, distance of one mile, and returns, making two miles Then he goes to his other farm, a dis tance of one mile and three-quarters, and returns, making three and one half miles, Then he comes to Aliens vile, a distance of three and one-half miles, and returns, making seven miles, That makes twelve and one half miles he rides every morning. In the afternoon he makes the same trips.
 After supper he goes to AIlensville and returns home. making in all thirty miles day. He does this every day iii the year. making II 680 miles ] year. He travels at least 720 miles a year fishing and hunting, making a grand total of P 400 miles a year. He has done this steadily for twenty years, making in all 24S, ,000 miles. He tTay- els every two years 9 distance equal to the circumference of the earth, so if he had kept a straight course for the past twenty years he would have been around the world ten times. He is likely to keep this up for twenty years nger.-ElktoD (Ky.} Times.

REGULARS AND VOLUNTEERS.

It is invidious to make distinctions between regulars and volunteers, as both are equally devoted to their coun- try, but it is not creditable that the public should make such distinctions as it's recognition of regiments return ing from the war would seem to indi- cate. A battalion of the regular in fantry arrived in this city yesterday on it's way to Manila, and was not even invited to parade. Both the Third and Seventeenth regulars did splendid ser vice at Santiago, but the fact seems to have been forgotten, judging by the apathy in regard to the Seventeenth. They have only come back from one service to proceed almost immediately to another. Mysteries over volunteers; indifference to regulars. This is the contrast, and it is something to be ashamed of.-New York Commercial

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN. /"

Rudyard I[ipling has written poem entitled ''The White Mans Burden evidently called forth by the colonial development of the United States. II appears in the February issue of Me Clu:e's Magazine, although the editors did not receive the poem until after the magazine was on the press. The frontispiece was taken out, and the poem was printed in it's place. Some extracts from it follow: Take Up the White Mans burden Send forth the best ye breed Go. bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On 1uttered folk and wild Your fellow-caught sullen peoples, Half devil and half child.
  Take up the White Mans burden The savage wars of peace Fill full the mouth Of Famine, And bid the sickness cease;
  The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go. make them with your living And mark them with your dead.
  By all ye will or whisper, By all ye leave or do, The silent sullen peoples -.5- Shall weigh your God and you.

CUBAN5 MUST WORK.

General Gomez wants to mortgage
 Cuba by practically borrowing fifty
 or sixty million of dollars with which to pay his soldiers in order to have them disband. In other words, he is willing to mulct the rest of the popu- lation in order to get enough for him self and his generals to let them retire
 and live at ease for the rest of their days. He posed as an unselfish patrios during the insurrection and an ardent lover of Cuba. whose freedom was his one object and his constant thought
 Now that Cuba is free he wishes to feather his own nest at the expense of the rest of the people and to delay that process of reconstruction So necessary before the island can be governed by the people themselves.
 The time is coming when the new conditions will be such that the island will be once more rich and prosperous. The possibilities of the soil are almost endless. but after four years of waste it will require much money, much en- ergy and ny end of patience to make it possible to begin where the people left off four years ago.
 If all the money in sight and all that is expected to be received for a year to come is to be used for the purpose Of bribing the soldiers to do their fur tker duty by going to work, Cuba would be in condition not enc whit better than it was during the days of spain's supremacy. Six months only have elapsed since the order to stop fighting was sent out, but since then Santiago has been made almost a health resort, while the plans for the betterment of Havana are already un- der way
 The Cubans cannot eat their cake until they have baked it. They should not expect to make 9 raid upon the treasury and place mortgage upon it's receipts for two or three years. The work of reconstruction must go on, and the soldiers who now stand in the way can help the day of the final es- of the Cuban republic by going to work at once.
