From Benjamin Franklin.
when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in
the first place; what experience tells you
is best. to be chosen in the second place
what reason ii. e.. Theory says is best
is to be chosen in the last place. But il
you can get DIR. Inclination, DIR. Expert
ence and DIR. Reason to hold consulta-
ton together. they will give you the best
advice that can be taken.
When you have bad cold DIR. lncli-
nation would recommend Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. DIR. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.

cause it is prepared on scientific princi-

ing the lungs. opening the secretions and

Important to Farmer.

There is proposition made in the
advertising columns Of this paper by
the John NJ. Smyth Co. of Chicago to
furnish Standard and Sisal Binder
Irvine direct to farmers at eight cents
Q pound. This means a saving of thou
sands of dollars to the farmers Of the
West who use a great deal of binder
Irvine during the harvesting season. AS
there is time limit to the offer, farm
ers should send in their orders before
June 1, when the limit expires and af-
ter which it is not certain orders can be
filed at this price. This proposition Of
the John NJ. Smyth Company for money
saving is well worth considering. The
firm is certainly one Of the most extern
sive as well as most reliable in the
United States

The Quezzel, a Bird of Liberty

On all the postage stamps of Guate-
mala Is engraved a somewhat distorted
representation of the Quezzel, which is
rightly called the bird of liberty, as it
dies almost Immediately when cap
tured. So extreme is it's love Of free
dom that if captured and in few sec
onds restored to liberty it would seem
as if the contamination of the hand
could not be removed, and it will drop
lifeless after flying but a few yards.
II 1t is caught in a trap it is always
found dead, and when the young are
taken from the nest they die at once.
1t is found only in a small portion of
the country, and is seldom seen live,
since it cannot be kept long in captiv-
ity.
1t is a bird of beautiful plumage,
having two extremely long tail feathers
and a superbly crested head. 1t is said
that it's pride in it's tail feathers is
greater than it's love of life, for if one
of them accidentally becomes broken
the bird goes to it's nest and dies from
grief and modification. 1t builds a
round-roofed nest, having two holes on
opposite sides, so that the quezzel liter.
ally "goes in at one door and out at the
other" and thus avoids any necessity
for tail-breaking, and consequent heart
breaking, by never turning around in
order to make it's exit from the nest.

A CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS.
Four Days. Session to Be Held in Chi.
cago This Summer.

A national conference on trusts and
combinations will be held in Chicago dur
ing the coming summer. The Civic Fed
Grafton Of the city has been fostering the
scheme for some time. The plan is to
gather together body of men from all
sections Of the country who will reflect
the views of labor, commerce, political
economy, law, trade and in fact Of all the
varied industrial educational and profess
sional elements on the latest and greatest
of national questions.
The intention is to hold four days
conference, one day being devoted to rail-
road combinations, one to labor organiza-
tons, one to industrial combinations and
one to remedies and to methods of proceed
ure. One of the most important questions
to be discussed will be that involving the
jurisdiction of the various States and the
Federal Government in the disposition Of
this issue. The courts have held both
ways, and if light is needed on any point
the investigators of the trust say it is this
one. For this reason the Governors and
Attorneys General of all the States will
be asked to be present to give their views.
