Wealth has given John d. Rookie
feller an income which any monarch
might envy, for he comes very near to
receiving more money in the course of
a year than all the crowned heads of
Europe combined.
That last princely dividend of the
Standard Oil Company caused the
world of finance to pause and think
how much the King of Petroleum real
ly possessed. Andrew Carnegie, and
that canny Scot has an income of $780,
000, coo a year himself, says that John
ID. Rockefeller is the wealthiest man
in the world. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that Rockefeller's income is
$50, 900, 900 years. T. cal.

The Boston Herald gives the follow
ing information about the new king of
Italy: He weighs 81 pounds, is under
five feet, climbs a chair to mount a
horse and sits on pile of cushions in
a carriage so as to seem larger than he
is. He is coin collector, a stamp col
lector, a man who likes rare bindings
for books and an expert on roses and
insects.

The latest use for glass is instead of
gold as material for stopping decay
ing teeth. 1t answers splendidly, and
is far less conspicuous than the yellow
metal. OF course, it is not ordinary
glass, but is prepared by some new
patented process which renders it soft
and maleable.

The policemen of Pekin are armed
principally with small drums, which
they beat loudly in order to let the law
breakers know that they are coming.
All night long the guardians of peace
beat tattoo in the streets, and as a
consequence are said to make few ar
rests. The blind also use drums to an
nounce their coming and to warn other
people to get out of their way.

Forty Years Among Cannibals.

The French adventurer who was
captive among cannibals in Central
Africa for forty years, has decided to
write a book, which will no doubt
prove interesting. We can sympathize
with his release from his terrible cap
tivity, which must have been as Joyous
as that of man who finds himself sud-
denly released from the captivity of
refractory stomach, by that peerless
remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has done more to promote health
than any other in existence. This is
the medicine to take, if you are suf-
ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, in
digestion, biliousness, nervousness or
insomnia. Don't fail to give it trial.
Ask for Hostetter's, and do not accept
a substitute. The genuine has Private
Revenue Stamp over the neck of bottle.

One can get any kind of political in
formation he seeks, simply by using
little judgment in selecting his news
papers. Read one paper and McKin-
ley will carry the east, the west, the
north and the south, not leaving Bryan
a potato patch. Read another and
Bryan will sweep the country from
ocean to ocean, while Mckinley will
be buried fathoms deep in the ruins of
his ambition. This is what is called
"political rot" and there is great
deal of it this campaign. In mixed
doses, it is enough to puke buzzard.

fronting all who love their country, and
who desire that this government should
be a government of the people, by the
people and for the people, and as such
shall not perish from the earth.
