KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of even balance OF health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can
he too careful to keep this balance up.
When people begin to lose appetite, or
to get tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness or debili-
ty. The system needs tonic, Graves
it, and should not be denied it; and the
best tonic of which we have any know
ledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it the
same distinction as preventative
that it enjoys as cure. Its early use
has illustrated the wisdom of the old
saying that stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods tor appetite, strength,
and endurance.

FUN WITH MIR. GORMAN.

Not long ago rather prominent pol
ittcian from the middle West was in
Washington. He han heard of Cor
man for years and wanted to meet him.
One day the opportunity presented it.
self and an introduction followed. The
two were left together, and the visitor
tried to draw the Maryland boss out
on various questions of public interest
hot abruptly or with view to max
ing any use of what might be said, but
more through curiosity to know the
German opinion than anything else.
German retired into his hole, as usual.
The visitor was nettled and made up
his mind to force the fighting.
"By the way, Mr.. Gorman," he said,
"what are your initials ?"
"My name is Arthur Pue German,
sir" was the reply.
"Oh, yes, and believe you are from
Virginia, or is it North Carolina ?"
maryland, sir, was the response
German beginning to be little an
noyed.
"Of course, it is Maryland; how
stupid of me not to remember" said
the visitor, adding: "You were in the
House once, were you motor was it
the Senate ?'
German nearly stopped breathing.
His face grew red. The idea that a
man of this visitors prominence should
not be familiar with the public career
of the gentlemen from Maryland was
almost beyond comprehension. Rath-
er testify he replied: IL was mem.
ber of the Senate, sir, and fattered my.
self that during my terms of service
was not wholly useless member and
contributed in some degree to shaping
the policies Of my party"
"What was your party, Mr.. Cor
MANI" You were a Republican were
you not ?"
This was too much. Gorman grew
ready to utter volley of high explo
sives, but as he turned to face his Wis
itor he saw a merry twinkle in the
callers eye. The Westerner had been
guying him and he was just finding il
out. 1t is needless to suggest that the
remainder of the interview, which was
by far the longer part of it, was of 8
most cordial and friendly character
and that the Marylander, to use a
street expression, almost "coughed ur
his boots" on all matters of public in
terest and more than fulfilled the ex
pectations of the man who had met
him for the first time Chicago Journal

Papa Joe's Auction.

There was an auction sale at the lit
tie old farmhouse on the mountain side.
Papa Stevenson, who was eighty, and
ma, who was seventy-six years old,
were wandering around with pale faces
and set mouths, taking farewells of all
the little trinkets that had been their
household gods for forty years and
more. The farmyard was filled with
neighbors who looked pityingly at the
old couple, but did not forget to bid
right smartly upon anything that they
wanted.
A dapper young lawyer from town
was auctioneer. Another lawyer was
clerk, and kept run Of the sales with
lead pencil on the back of a new
shingle.
Papa and ma Stevenson had quar-
relied. 1t was not new with them.
Both had tempers, and both had shown
them all their lives. Yet, in spite of
it, they had loved each other with a
fondness that had glorified the little
farm on the side of the mountain.
Five years before they had received
from a city man, who had stopped at
the farm on a hunting trip among the
mountains, new-fangled cotftepot.
Ma had accepted it with delight. She
was tired Of making coffee in the same
old way, year in and year out. She
hated, above all things, the scrap OF
dried fish skin that she had to put into
the coffeepot every morning of her life.
The new pot made coffee as clear as a
quill and as strong as wine. But after
Il little pa hankered for some of the
new brew of the old tin pot that had
served so long. lie continually fused
about the new article till at last the
patience of the good woman Wore out.
1t was the first real quarrel of their
married life. But it did not last long.
Pa came in one night after work, and,
sitting down in the armchair in front
of the hearth, began to cry silently to
| himself. He was wet to the skin from
| the sleet he had worked in all day.
He was miserable, and his pride was
broken. But it took some time vet
before she would completely give IN.
She helped him out of his wet things
with her mouth in 4 pucker. At last
she brushed back his long wet hair
with her soft hand and said:
"Ncver mind, Joe, was as much
| ter blame as you were" After that
the reconciliation was easy.
The next quarrel was also easy.
During the few years following the old
people frequently fell out over trivial
matters. Their children had all grown
up and gone their ways. One was a
prosperous farmer down in the valley
| Another was the wife of Il neghbor on
the next farm over toward Oxford
Betty Stevenson could look across the
hills to her daughters house and draw
comfort from the neat appearance o
the buildings when she was lonesome
The old people, now having nothing to
take up heir attention but the routine
of the place, found it easier to make
disagreements out of the little things
of life.
Six months before the auction there
had been fierccr misunderstanding
than ever. Pa had gone down to the
house of a neighbor and remained there
for several days. Ma had gone to
town and consulted lawyer about a
! suit for separation. When Joe heard

SONG OF THE MAN WITH a
SHOVEL.

Oh, they're strikin' oil in Texas,
They are tindin' fortunes there,
Aud most every hour Wall street
Makes another millionaire;
Folks are diggin' up Old kettles
Full of gold, the papers say
Seems that I'm about the only
One that has to work away.
Moneys got 30 nation plenty
That the banker bars the door.
And he won't give no inducement
For deposits any more;
All the folks are speculatin',
Maxim thousands every day,
But have to keep a-workin'
In the same old-fashiOned way.
There are fortunes in the railroads,
There are fortunes in the mills,
There are fortunes in the coal mines
That are underneath the hills;
NOthin' like it ever happened
Since the world began. they say,
But find I've got to hustle
In the same old toilsome way.
Oh, it's many miles to Texas,
Where they're leasing out the lands,
And you can't 60 into Wall street
If you've only willing hands,
Nor you can't buy shares in fact'ries
Ifyou've nothing else to pay
Than the little old TWO dollars
You keep earning day by day.
SO I've got to work while others
Pick up fortunes here and there;
Every time you turn you nearly
Bump ag'in millionaire
Still don't intend to hOller,
Though 1 work on day by day.
For there's Maggie and the baby
When put my tools away.

A TOUCH OF GOLD.

That touch of gold is great har-
monizer, a brace, as it were, to hold a
color scheme together, is known to
most artists and decorators. Some of
US, however, miss the value of the ap-
pearance OF the bright hue here and
there. We like it when we see it, but
do not always know what is wrong
when it is not present in the makeup
of an apartment or toilet.
A room richly furnished with mate
rails and colors to suit the most Eastid-
ious, but lacking some yellow here and
there, will not be made satisfying to
the eye until it is supplied. Not long
ago the owner Of very pretty parlor
was given beautiful bronze OF nament,
which she placed in the centre of the
mantlepiece, removing gilt French
clock for the purpose. But immedi-
ately, something was the matter with
the room, but what? Nobody thought
of the change of ornaments, as the
bronze was by far the superior piece Of
art and workmanship. At last the
trouble was discovered and the mantel
was draped with cloth of gold scarf
and the room regained its wonted at
tractiveness.
A gilt frame in the place Of one of
wood, gilded chair or stool, piece
of tapestry worked with gold thread,
yellow silk scarfs and numerous other
devices of this order, if employed in
some of our present too sombre rooms:
would work wonderful transforma-
tion toward cheeriness, warmth and
general cosiness. Yellow, gold or gilt
is to room what sunshine is to land
scape.

DOCTORS AND EDITORS.
THE MIGHTY DIFFERENCE IN THEIR Pre-
FESSIONS AND PROFITS.

The doctors are all friends Of ours.
We expect them to stay with us until
death. Yet, at tue risk Of incurring
their displeasure We produce the fol-
lowing:
We don't know where it came from
any more than we know whose rain
shout the doctors medicine comes
from. We find it in paper credited
to "Ex." If We knew the author We
would gladly give his name, because
the article is really good. Here it is:
The doctor from Algona said that
newspapers are run for revenue only.
What in thunder do doctors run for,
anyway? Do they run tor glory? One
good, healthy doctors bill would run
this Office for six months.
An editor works halliday for $5
with an investment of So, 5000; doc
tor looks wise and works ten minutes
for 5000, with an investment Of three
cents for catnip and pill box that
cost $1.37.
A doctor goes to college for two or
three years and gets diploma and
striug of words the devil himself can
not pronounce, cultivates a look Of
gravity that he pawns off for wisdom,
gets box Of pills, cayuse and a
meat saw and sticks his shingle out
full fledged doctor. He will then doc
tor you unlil you die at a stipulated
price per visit, and puts them in as
thick as your pocketbook will permit.
An editor never gets his education
finished. He learns as long as he lives
and studies all his life; he takes his
pay in turnips and hay, and keeps the
doctor in town by refraining from
printing the truth about him.
We would like to live in Algona and
run a newspaper six months and see if
the doctor would change his mind
about running newspaper for revenue
only.
II we didn't get some glory out of it
we would agree to take one of his pills,
alter first saying our prayers. 1t the
editor makes a mistake he has to apol-
ogizv for it, but if the doctor makes a
mistake he buries it.
If we make one there is lawsuit,
tall swearing and a smell Of sulphur,
but if the doctor makes one there is
funeral, cut flowers and the smell of
varnish. The doctor can use word
foot long, but if the editor uses it he
has to spell it.
If the doctor goes to see another
mans wife he will charge the man for
the visit. If the editor calls on anoth.
er mans wife he gets charge of buck
shot. Any medical college can make
a doctor. You can't make an editor.
He has to be born one.
The editor works to keep from starv-
ing, while the doctor works to ward off
the gout. The editor helps men to
live better, and the doctor assists them
to die easy.
The doctor pulls sick mans leg,
the editor is glad if he can collect his
bills at all. Revenue only? We are
living for fun, and to spite the doctors.

A Glasgow servant girl went home
few evenings ago with her head
wrapped up in a shawl.
Her young mistress asked her what
allied her, and was told that she was
suffering from bad attack Of tooth
ache, brought on by sitting in the
park.
"But you should not sit on such a
cold, chilly night as this" SAID the mis-
tress. "You should walk at a smart
pace

though plying her ignorance, and then
answered.;
"You Gamma court right walking

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Dsasoas Plaster Is PAINS Mastsr.)

From the natural impulse to 'put some-
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tices or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as q curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonns plasters in place of Is nson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people Of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
Of Bsnson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
ffty-frs highest awards.
