Disguised With Men.

A young man who has tried two
months of soldier life writes home to
tell how he misses the society of
women:
Fellow citizens, if you want to APP
nrecia'e a woman get away from her
You don't know what the Creator
done when he performed the first
surgical operation on Adam. If you
want to know Whist a grand, glorious
and sugsr-coated thing woman is
just join the army as 1 did. See
nothing but men from morning till
night. Join the army and loaf with
men,est with men, talk with men,
help men carry men, walk over men,
shoot men, succor men, see men, men,
men, and nothing but men, live in
perpetual atmosphere of profanity (;
at the end OF three weeks you would
be ensmored with the mummy of an
Egyptian servant girl and give her an
electrical kiss that would burn three
thousand years of dried hide into
flushed and velvety animation. "-Ex.

Better Whistle Than Whine.

Two little boys were on their way
to school. The smaller one tumbled
and, though not badly hurt, he began
to whine in a bsbyish way-a little
cross whine.
The older boy took his hand in 8
fatherly way, and said:
"Oh, never mind, Jimmy, don't
whine it is great deal better to
whistle" And he began, in the mer-
riest way, cheerful boy-whistle.
Jimmy tried to join in the whis tie.
81 csu't whistle as nice as you,
Charlie" said he; "my lips won't
quicker up good"
ooh, that's because you haven't got
all the whine out yet" said Charlie
Shut you try minute and the whistle
will drive the whine away"
So he did and the last 1 saw or
heard of the little fellows they were
whistling away as earnestly as though
that was the chief end of life.-Junior

Respectfully
JAMES HARGIs."

"More haste, less speed" and "has-
en- slowly" are proverbs born of ex-
perience that some things can't be
hurried without loss and waste. This
is specially true of eating. The rail-
way lunch habit, five minutes for re-
freshments," is habit most disastrous
to the health. Yon may hurry your
eating. You can't hurry your diges-
ton, and the neglect to allow proper
time for this important function is the
beginning of sorrows to many a busy
man. When the tongue is foul, the
head aches, when there are sour or
bitter risings, undue fullness after
eating, hot fushes, irritability, ner-
vousness, irresolution, cold extremi-
ties, and other annoying symptoms,
be sure the stomach and organs of di-
gestion and nutrition have "broken
down." Nothing will re-establish
them in active healthy operation so
quickly as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. 1t strengthens the
stomach, nourishes the nerves, puri-
fies the blood, and builds up the body.

containing no alcohol or other intoxi-
cant.

SHOULD BE HIGHER
Price of Wheat Not as High as
The Shortage Warrants.

There has been but little change in
the wheat market in the large centers
during the past week, and the local
price has remained about the same.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Tuesday,
contained the following statement
from Mr.. w. L. Green. wheat inves-
tor of st. Louis.
"Whest should be higher than it
Isl said he, considering the shortage
In this country. Our reports show
California several points lower than
the Government reports of two weeks
ago, and the State of Washington will
fall 10 points short of the Govern
ment report. The Northwest is only
half a crop. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Michigan have no wheat worth
mentioning. The crop is in the
Southwest, and we will find that it
will not feed the country. The crop
in France is about 10000 bushels
short OF last years, and there is some
shortage in Russia, The crop in
India is failure. Taking Europe as
whole the crop is fair"

baby in the world. The week she
was born 100000 was settled on

ENTHUSIASM
IN THE OLD TENTH DISTRICT
State Central Committeeman Har-
gis Writes About the Sit
uati0n.

The following letter from Commit
teeman Hargis was sent out from
Jackson:
81 think the prospects for Demo-
cratic victory this year were never
brighter. The Democrats OF Eastern
Kentucky are we'll known for their
loyalty to their party this was dem
onstrated last year by the increased
vote for Gov. Goebel and the entire
State ticket. There is neither strife
nor dissension in the party in the
Tenth district this year. The infa-
nous conduct of Taylor and his gang
has driven the few Brown men back
into the party, and they freely declare
their allegiance and promise their
hearty support to all the Democratic
nominees.
"With an enthusiastic and united
party, believe Bryan and Beckhsm
will carry this district by a greatly in.
creased majority. The conduct of
Taylor's administration was such that
even some of the good Republicans in
this district are sorely disguised and
will cast their votes for Beckham.
"Another thing that adds strength
and unity to the party in this district
is the nomination of j. B. White, for
Congress. He is an able campaigner
and trusted leader.
"From observations in other parts
of the State and personal knowledge
of Eastern Kentucky, believe the
Democrats will sweep the State by an
overwhelming majority. The pros
poets for a final and complete victory
over McKin ey's imperislistic policy
and csrpetbse government abroad,
and Taylor's militarism and murder
at home are as bright as The Demo-
Gratis could wish.
Respectfully,
JAMES HARGIs."
