1t Makes RestfuI Sleep.

New York paper, the rule is to say to
her: Now, Birdie, you may help your
self to the best there is in the house.
Eat as much as you please. Eat morn
ing, noon and night. Don't mind us.
But you mustn't carry away any in
packages" In a short time she is so
surfeited that the thought of eating
candy causes nausea. For quite diff
ferent reason the bartender does not
drink. He knows too we'll the ingred-
tents Of his liquors. He is too familiar
with blends and compounds. He is
satiated with the constant vision of
men putting the enemy to theirmouths
to steal their brains. The sight of
drunkenness fills him with disgust
One man ventured the assertion that
the most abstemious class in his COM
munity is composed of the men behind
the bar.

WANTED A JOB AS BOSS.
SounEster Surprised the Proprieto
and May Work Up to the
Place.

A boy of about IA, with well-worn
clothes and face in which timidity
and determination struggled for the
mastery, entered the office of shipping
house on Front street one day lately,
says the New York Times, approached
the desk of him whose appearance spoke
the control of the establishment, and,
catching his sye, said:
DO you want n boss, mister?"
"What!" exclaimed the proprietor,
surprised out of his self-control.
II want to know if you want a boss,
SIR"
II don't understand you; what do
you mean?"
well, sir, I've been looking for some.
thing to do for three weeks, now, and
nobody wants boy, so to-day l
thought I'd see If somebody didn't
want boss. I'd like to be a boss"
well, well! That's not bad. Are
you willing to work up to the lob? 1t
took me 25 years to get it,"
Deed, j am, sir, if you'll give me
the chance!"
To-day an earnest boy in jumper and
overalis is struggling with bundles and
packing cases in the shipping room of
the concern. He intends to be boss of
the establishment before his side
whiskers (Which have not yet sprout-
ed) are as gray as those of the present
incumbent.
And the chances, with his energy
and will, are in his favor.

GOING HOME RICH.
Lapinnders Who Took a Herd of
Reindeer to Alaska for the
Government.

DR.. Sheldon Jackson, commissioner
of education FOR Alaska, has convoyed
across the continent 25 Laplanders
who were sent by the government to
Alaska 80 months ago with reindeer
and who are now on their way home to
Jokkonkk. The Laplanders, says the
New York Sun, were sent to Alaska
early in the Klondike excitement with
reindeers that were to be used as beasts
of burden and food by the starving
miners. The Klondikers were found
to be less needy than was supposed, and
the deer were not used for food. The
Laplanders were employed as mail car
riers and deer drivers at a salary of
S26s year each, besides food and cloth
ing. They are now going home rich
beyond the dreams of avarice with
from 5000 to 500 each, enough to keep
their families in affluence for years.
OF the $40 deer imported by the gov
ernment many died of starvation be-
fore they reached the tundra, hay be-
ing found so rich diet that they would
not eat it. Later 700 reindeer doe were
brought over from Siberia, and the
Alaska herd now numbers nearly 8, 600,
DR.. Jackson says the services of the
Laplanders to care for them are no
longer needed, and that they will in
crease rapidly under government pro-
lection. He looks for them to become
ultimately an important source of
wealth in interior Alaska.

TIE SILVER QUESTION.
Hon. Edwi1 C Wright, of the
4.h Oaio Dist..ct,
BIMETAtLyo THEORY,

Very Clear and G ,nvinciug Demonstra-
tion of the Faliacy of the Brvan Con
tenti N Coucer"ing Free 81 yer AT 10
to- The Real Issne.
Bimetallism means two metallic
coins. The word as used by the free
silver advocates stands for two metal
lie standards of value, gold and silver
This leads to the question, Can there
be two STANDARDS? We might with as
much propriety ask, Can there be two
yard sticks of unequal length? A yard
is Just 36 inches-no less, no more.
The yard measure may be wood, brass,
ebony, or steel, but it must be SO inches
in length.
The clamor for free coinage OF silver
without limit at the ratio of IL to l..
in order to have two standards of
value, is cry for the impossible, ,un-
less the two metals, gold and silver,
can be kept at given commercial
ratio. In that case we have, not two
standards, but one standard in two

The Right Thing has Been Found.
A Marietta Citizen Shows
the Way.

Once more we are indebted to a Mar
ietta citizen for public statement
that throws light on a subject of ever
increasing interest. People have been
deceived by false Misrepresentation
from time immemmorlal. No wonder
they are skeptical of all claims en-
dorsed by strangers, residing in far
distant parts of the Union. 1t is no
longer necessary to accept such en-
dorsements, for local citizens are CIV
ing their testimony and it's an easy
matter for any reader to investigate
the correctness of such evidence as the
following:
Mrs. Maggie Berry, of 122 South
Fifth street, says: "My mother has
used Doan's Kidney Pills and speaks
in high praise of their merits. One of
our neighbors also used Doan's Kidney
Pills and values them highly. l pro-
cured them at w. H. Styer's drug store,
240 Front street.
For sale by all dealers. Price so
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

States.
Remember the name Doan's and
take no other.

ton the vast coinage OF gold now In
use as money? Would they have more
money by lessening by half the value
of the silver coin and paper money
now in circulation, by Gripping all the
business of the country and putting out
of employment the toiling millions?
How, then, do we manage now to
keep gold and silver money on a par
with each other? The secret of it lies
in limitation of coinage. Issue paper
money without limit, and it becomes
worthless, as did the Continental cur
platform demands, and the coin will
sink to the level of the metal value
therein, sure.
The result would be cheap silver
money-a veritable Ascent dollar.
How many of the American people de-
sire this? 1t is hard to tell. This we
know: Millions voted in 1896 for the
man preaching 1t, and possibly millions
will do it again at the coming election.
However, it is not probable that the
free silver votes will be as numerous
as in 1896.
Men have had time to think, pros
perity is widespread, the dire predic-
tions made by the free silver orators
have failed to come true, and the coun-
try Is in a happier mood than four
years ago. Therefore, Bryanism is on
the wane; so much SO that men are
trying to hide the silver issue by kick
Ing up dust about imperialism and
other imaginary ailments.

She getteth the idea into her head that

father becomes an habitual drinker
and the neighbors get out an injunc-

in dress that is too short at the top
and too long at the bottom, and gig
gleth until the night waxeth old. She
lieth abed in the morning until the
eleventh hour, while her mother
humps around and doeth the work.
She sigheth for a husband with long
mustache and plenty of money, but
finally marrieth some fellow who
smokes cigarettes and holdeth up two
fingers to the barber whenever he gets
shaved.
