The same company's No. / on the j,
H. Morrow farm. in the northeast ex-

Qualifications for a Politician.

To be a successful and respected politi-
cal leader, Il man must be at all times
conscientious and self sacrificing. He
must be an obedient servant of the pco-
pie. He must labor energetically for
the welfare of his neighbors, answer all
letters whether stamps are enclosed or
not, never take place that is not given
him by popular election, but bestir
himself at all times to secure places for
others If even so much as suspicion
arises that he is Gin it for DOODLE" that
he "farms' aspirants for Office, or manip-
ulates matters so as to bring grist to his
own mill, he becomes an object of con-
tempt, as he should. And he must not
resort to double-dealing in order to keep
everybody feeling good, but must be
frank and open, show his whole hand
and trust to the reasonableness of the
people and to time, to vindicate the
wisdom and virtue of his actions. De-
ception only postpones the day of wrath.
Any man who lacks energy, or who is
easily annoyed, had better stay out of
politics. The Machaevellian politician
may obtain few brilliant successes, but
he will not last. Even those who lack
high instincts of honor themselves, and
who are neither honest, truthful, nor
trustworthy, admire those principles in
others. And, as the majority of people
are honest, they will not long tolerate
man whom they regard as rogue. The
local politician who can truthfully aver
that he never took dollar from candi-
date. who takes an interest in every
election, and always tries to elect the
best men, never loses his influence. On
the contrary he grows stronger all the
time. This may appear like thankless
task, but it always wins in the end,
There is nothing truer than this, that
virtue is its own reward, and it is equally
true that vices of every kind bring their
own punishment and humiliation
Punxs'y Spirit.

Our AdmiraI'S Return.

This is Dewey week. And all the
land is ringing with the praises of our
gallant Admiral whose triumphant re-
turn to the native shore has taken the
country by storm.
AS a fitting souvenir Of the occasion,
The Philadelphia Inquirer secured
picture of the Olympia leaving Manila
Harbor for the long voyage home.
This has been handsomely reproduced
in ten printings with portrait of Ad-
miral Dewey in one corner and will be
presented free with every copy Of next
Sundays Inquirer, October 1, 1899.
1t is beautiful picture and a most
appropriate memento of the glorious
achievements of the third American
Admiral.
In addition to this there will be a
bright colord section, an interesting
magazine section and all the customary
wealth of special features and as that
days issue will be full of the accounts
of the enthusiastic reception of the
Admiral in New york city there is sure
to be on enormous demand for it.
Owing TO the immense amount of labor
necessary in the preparation of these
pictures the edition is limited and it
would therefore be we'll to order it
ahead in order to be sure of getting O.

FLAGGlNG THE FAST MAIL.
How an Illinois Woman Accomplished
it and Gained Her Object.

it and Gained Her Object.
Iowa Register
The stage has been outdone again,
and Lincoln j. Carter's famous east
Mair' will have to take back seat.
Saturday afternoon the depot platform
at Evanston, ILL.,, was the scene of
far more thrilling scene than could be
pictured on any stage. Shortly after
3 o'clock man and woman came
running into the depot and asked the
time of the next train for Kenosha.
They were told that the fast mail went
through in few minutes, but that be-
cause of the grade at that point the
train could not be stopped without
losing quarter of an hour, and for
that reason it was against the COM
pany's rules to flag it.
1t was four hours till the next train,
and the man and woman, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathan Allen, of Kenosha, pleaded,
cried and begged until finally the
station agent telegraphed the division
superintendent. Back came this cruel
answer: "Much as we would like to
accommodate from a humanitarian
standpoint, it will mean the loss of
thousands of dollars to the road, and
it is absolutely impossible to think of
tagging the 3 O'Clock fast mail at
Evanston" Mr.. and Mrs. Allen had
been summoned home by a message
that their child was dying, and they
would give anything to catch the
train, but the delaying of the United
States mails was dilemma the rail
road officials could not untangle and
they had to refuse. The man sat down
on the platform and sobbed like
child, but not SO the woman, for there
was still one hope. Presently the
mighty roar of the great flyer tearing
into Evanston at the rate of fifty miles
an hour caused Allen to look up and
toward the train. Standing directly
in the path of the fast mail, and too
far away from the depot to be saved
by survived spectators, was Mrs. Allen,
frantically waving a red-lined golf
cape.
Allen closed his eyes, expecting when
next he opened them to see his wife
terribly mangled, but there was man
aboard that flying engine who could
do something, and who did do some
thing. Engineer Mernard reversed
his engine and stopped that fast mail
as Northwestern fast mail has never
been stopped before, for the woman
who had been waving the signal had
tainted and fallen on the track. When
Allen opened his eyes, instead of
seeing his wife torn to pieces, she was
safe and sound in the arms of the blue
jacketed and grimy engineer Mr..
and Mrs. Allen were put aboard and
comfortably cared for, and in a short
time they were at the side of their
stricken child.

Story of n Slave.
copy.

To be bound hand and foot by the
chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George d. Williams, of Man
chester, Mich, tells how such a slave
was made free. He says: "My wife
has been SO helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend to weak
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by
L. Taggart, druggist.
