Trouble In an Important Part Of the Organiza-
lion Affects All the Rest-A Perfectly
Harmonious System Easily
Thrown Out OF Gear.

Organized labor has reached such a
stage that anything affecting a particular
branch OF 1t draws all the rest into the
difficulty.
1t is exactly the same way with differ
ent organs of the human body. Work too
hard eat too much, drink too much, ex-
ercise but little, be little irregular in
any way, and the liver quits work
Then the bowels become constipated and
the stomach goes strike. The heart Is
affected, the brain follows suit, and every
part in the body is dragged into the
trouble.
The only way out of 1t is to go at the
source of all this-the liver. Square your
self with the liver and all will get back to
regular natural work.
Cascarets Candy Cathartic make things
right with the liver. They perfume the
breath, prevent food from souring on the
stomach, give tone to the bowels, strength
en- the intestinal muscles. while they are
cleaning and stirring up the liver to re-
newed activity.
No matter how long case has been in.
durable, Cascarets are guaranteed to put
things right as they should be. and set
the whole machinery a-going. And you
can get them at any drug store or BY man
for price-10c, Csc, or Soc. Address Sterling

Worthy of Consideration

The Illinois Central is making .
strenuous effort to get located In the
Northwestern towns from Denison
west and the latter road is fighting
them at every inch. For several rea-
sons we are surprised to see the papers
in these towns standing up for the
Central. Railroad business, like any
ether, is ruined by excessive competl-
tion and promoters naturally seek TO
rrotect their investments. The North
western penetrated the territory in dis
pute when it was a practical wilder
ness and many years elapsed before the
road began to make money. Now the
country has developed and is develop
ing and the road that has assisted in
bringing about the change Is entitled
to the benefit These towns have moth
ing to gain from new railroad. The
Northwestern is one of the most pro-
gressive and accommodating lines on
earth and puts in tributary linee and
branches as soon as population and
business warrant it. The fraternity
along the lines receive many courtesles
from the Northwestern each year and
the natural laws of gratitude should
prompt them TO stick fast to old friends.
Not one ,,f them but would try and
keep newaraper business from being
overdone in their respective commune
ties and it is only fair to grant therail-
road the right to exercise the same
business prudence Glidden Graphic

Captain Adolph Freitch will make
the trip from San Francisco to Manila,
across the Pacific Ocean in an open
sail boat, in the near future. The cap

hazardous undertaking. In 1894 he
crossed the Atlantic in thirty-four
days, making the 5000 miles in an open
boat, measuring only forty feet on the
water line. In the Pacific trip the
captain expects to reach Honolulu
after twenty-one days sailing from
San Francisco, and will endesyor to
cover the distance from Honolulu to

The White Mans Burden.

The following poem by Rudysrd
kippling has created more commen,
n the United States than any poem
written in the last twenty-five years:
Take up the White Mans burden,
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind yonr sons to exile
To serve your captive's need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On tluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek snother's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill the mouth Of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans burden
And reap his own reward
The blame Of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humor
(Ah, slowly toward the light
"Why brought ye US from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less-
Nor call too loud on freedom
To cloak your wesriness.
BY all ye will or whisper,
by all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans buI1sdasn
Have done with childish days
The lightly protfered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise;
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thsnkless years,
Cold edged with dear wiz don
The Judgment of your peers.
--Rudyard kippling, in McClure's fc
