Second thoughts are best.
ldleness is the key of beggary.
Adversely makes man wise. but
not rich.
Moral courage is the right arm OF
reform.
Never study to be diverting without
being useful. \
Satan finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do.
Flattery corrupts both the receiver
and the giver.
Lies great good is wrought on the
anvil OF industry.
The bravest man is he who can
apologize with dignity.
Truth is rock of strength sufficient
to bear the universe.
Truth is stranger than fiction. be.
cause we seldom meet it.
Be kind and obliging to all but init.
mate only with the good.
Useful knowledge can have nc
enemies except the ignorant.
There is limit at which forbearance
ceases to be a virtue.
Good nature, like the busy bee, col
lects sweetness from every herb.
The great secret of avoiding disap

People are so interested in talkins
religion that they forget to practice it
The world is workshop and none

Sorrow, though it ever sharpens the

Common sense is very uncommon

enough of it.
Society, like shaded silk, must b.

Boston Globe.


a soldier of the legion lay starving Ii
the camp,
The girls were not around him, the cras,
Il was too damp;
And ne loathed the cold potato and the
bread which broke his fast,
And wept for the cold bottles and the
hot birds that were past.
And comrade knelt beside him in the
chill and falling dew,
AS he heard OF the deserters. and he
swore he'd slip off, too;
Whiie The boys went serenading, Just to
make the Colonel kind,
Playing softly, playing sadly, playing
Bacon on the Rind.',
SAID the soldier of the legion, as he heard
the music's storm,
give my best girl the brass buttons
which are on my uniform.
She can fix her shirt waist with them.
she can wear them on string;
On the string where she has had me for
agar or more, by jing.
would dare all dangers for her, never
show the foe my back.
But the oravest heart will weaken after
three weeks on hard tack.
Then the soldier of the legion left the
army far behind,
And the band kept on playing, PLAYING
Bacon on the Rind."

NOTES AND CONTENTS.
LOT

Oh, the beautiful snow and the
merry jingle of sleigh bells.
If the recent thunder awoke the
snakes they will find a cold reception.
Miss Blanche E. Hewitt, of Will
Transport, is visiting her grandpar-
ents, on Liberty street. this city.
When a man becomes alarmed at
his shadow and imagines he has
wheels in his Uranium, it's about time
to quit looking into the wine when it
showeth its color.
Some persons think it strange to
have thunder showers in February.
but it is not unusual In the year
1896 there was heavy thunder accom-
panied with very vivid lightning in
February.
Now that the grounding failed to
see his shadow, we must have six
weeks of good, instead of unpleasant
weather. Perhaps this is true. Pos
sibly it is incorrect. We can Judge
better when summer appears.
The peach crop fabricator of the
truth is looming up already and in
forming his hearers that the peaches
are all killed in the bud. This hap.
pens nearly every winter, but in due
time the peaches come forth, often
with blush on one side, apparently
from misrepresentation and falsehood.
We were pleased to see the subject
OF macadamized road from this city
to Martinsburg agitated again. In
fact, it should extend to Billmyers
Mill or to Scrabble. IT there is place
in the county where pike is needed
worse than on the line named above
we have not seen it. People on line
OF this road surely have been of long
suffering, yet complaining very little,
and their visits to our city would be
more numerous and profitable to both.
Often the farmer is held in check by
the miserable condition of the public
road, or work the life out of his horses
to get one-half of what is their pull
ing capacity to market. Few good
farmers will do this unless compelled
by force of necessity. Three-fourths
OF the country along the line of this
road can furnish limestone rock suf-
fcient to pike twice the whole dis.
lance. Few places necessitates grad
ing. We always prefer fill to that
of cutting down, whenever possible.
The farmers along the line of this road
claim when they get into the city
they can select every vehicle that
came that way on account of its ap.
pearance. This is the time to start
the ball to rolling in that direction
as laborers are plentiful, while labor
is comparatively scarce. 1t would be
appreciated by them as well as many
Others concerned. RALF.

The kidneys are responsible for
more sickness, suffering and deaths
than any other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting PEG.
pie today is traceable to kidney trouble.
1t pervades all classes of society, in
all climates, regardless of age, sex or
condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are unmistakable, such as rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain
or dull ache in the back, a desire to
urinate often, day or night, profuse or
scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ filled
blood. Sometimes the heart acts
badly, and tube casts (wasting of the
kidneys) are found in the urine, which
if neglected, will result in Bright's
disease. the most dangerous form OF
kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the in.
fluence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
1t has worldwide reputation for its
wonderful cures OF the most distress
ing cases.
No one need be long without it as
it is SO easy to get at any drug store.

The First Anniversary.

1t is just a year since the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul road inau-
gurated its celebrated PIONEER Limited
passenger train service between Chi
cago. Milwaukee, st. Paul and Min
neapolis. This service marked a new
era in the railway world in the line Of
passenger accommodations. At n cost
Of a. quarter OF a million dollars that
progressive company furnished the
travelling public. in its Pioneer Limited
train, comforts and facilities the best
ever produced. This train has been de-
scribed many times in newspapers and
magazines, but should be seen and eX-
amined TO be appreciated. In beauty
of finish, richness and elegance of fur
nishing nothing equal to it has ever
been attempted by any other road. The
car builders were nearly q year in com
pleting the Pioneer Limited trains
(there are two-one leaving Chicago for
the West and the other leaving the
Twin Cities for the East every evening
in the year, and they stand today a
monument to the builders art No reg
ular passenger train service in Amer
lea is as well known as the Pioneer
Limited. From the standpoint OF pas
senger traffic the past twelve months
have been the most successful in the
history of the st. Paul road, made so
very largely by the Pioneer Limited.
The patronage of this service is a strik-
ing illustration of the fact that the
public appreciates a good thing. -

THE OLD WAY.
OF Treating Dyspepsia and Indiges-
tion by Dieting a Dangerous
and Useless One.

We say the old way, but really II is
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians as
well consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is TO
diet, either by selecting certain foods
and rejecting others or TO greatly di-
minish the quantity usually taken. in
other words, the starvation plan is sup
posed by many to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure has been proven time and
again, but still the moment dyspepsia
makes its appearance a course of diet
ing Is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
Ing TO a man suffering from dyspepsia,
because Indigestion itself starves every
organ, every nerve and every fibre in
the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abund-
ant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome well-cooked food. and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest 1t. This is exactly the pur-
pose for which Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's are adapted and this is the method
by which they cure the worst cases of
dyspepsia, in other words, the patient
eats plenty of wholesome food and Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets digests it for
him. In this way the system is nour-
ished and the overworked stomach
rested. because the tablets will digest
the food whether the stomach works
or not. One of these tablets will digest
5000 grains of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stu
arts Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for this
excellent preparation. Sold at 80 cents
for full sized packages at all drug
stores.
