Monkeys

"All well-all happy lots
Of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Esf Barnum's. Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
|sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds Of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle Of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped il up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys vereceived
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
mPtion. Of course it's
to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys and
that suits the circus men.

What Props the Steel Trust.

The steel trust is underselling
European manufactures in their own
market. This IS true in Germany,
according to the reports OF our con-
suls. 1t is true IN Great Britain,
where our manufacturer take large
contracts from under the very noses
of Enylishmen. But how is it done!
Simply by making American users
of steel pay the difference. And how
is this possible? Only because the
Dingley tariff imposes duty OF 81
per ton on pig iron, $7,S4 on steel
rails and $l3.44 on steel ship plates.
The steel trust sells lis product
cheaper abroad than it does at home
Steel rails that are sent to the other
aide of the Atlantic AT $24 a ton,
freight paid are sold here at $50 I"
ton. The American people are made
10 pay the cost of running Mr.
Morgsn's trust, ana they will keep
ou paving it until this infamous
tariff is smashed. And the case OF
tho Morgan steel trust Is the case of
the rest. They have the same prop

of a Detroiter who has just passed
the. forueth milestone. He is
wealthy, cultured and of high social
standing. Since marrying the de-
lightful woman he now calls wife
his chief lament is that he deferred
their mutual happiness so loag.
On the wedding trip he fooled
all curious watchers by not trying
to do so. He was tho soul of atten-
tion and so apt, because of his in
nate gentiIity, that all thought him
an old hand at the business. H0
bought his railroad tickets after ip
forming the agent that they were
for Mr.. Blank and wife, and wrote
the new partnership large and bold
at every hotel.
When invited to club in New
York he wanted to take his wife
But this was not permissible. Yet
without knowingit, he wrote in the
visitors book "Mr. Blank and wife" ."
Running short of funds he asked
the proprietor of the hotel, an old
acquaintance, if he would just AS
leave cash check. OF course be
would. He received the money and
when the landlord laughed at the
check the happy benedict did not
know that it was signed by "Mr.
Blank and wife"

signature was concerned was oblit-
Grated throughout the trip. The day
following his return he attended

commenting on the extravaganza OF
the Illinois State government and
the legislature in particular, gives
figures which, when compared with
the expenditures of our legislature
which was accused of gross extrava-
gance, are to say the least enormous.
1t says under head of Costly Burden
of State Government
"The probable expenditures allow
ed by the present assembly are esti-
mated at total of Sl2,500, 200,
which is S500,000 more than was
appropriated two years ago. OF
this amount u million dollars is for
the expenses Of the lawmakers and
100000 for the employees of the
General Assembly. The one million
dollars is what Illinois must pay
for session that has as yet accom-
pIIshed nothing in the way of legis-
latlon that is of any benefit to the
state, while the 100000 represents
the swag that Is distributed among
the party grafters and heelers who
are put on the state pay rolls as a
reward for party service.
OF this grand total the sum of 3d.
Q9G, ,069 is for the maintenance Of the
state charitable institutions, t h
homes of the insane, the deaf, dumb
and blind. To thlS must be added
the enormous sum of $685., 200 which
IT costs to "reform" the bad boys of
Illinois at Pontiac and $l33.90O to
reform the wayward girls Geneva.
A half.miIlion dollars also goes to
the home for the feeble minded.
The pcnitentiaries cost another half.
million dollars. while the sum Of
S61G, $50 is set aside for the soldiers
and soldiers widows and orphans
homes.
Another interesting item of ex-
penditure is the sum Of $6l5, IL for
maintaining the five state normal
schools, which, of course, does not
include the Cook County Normal
School. This S6l5,ll2 and more
represents the investment of flllinois
in the science of "pedagogY.n The
state is spends this great sum every
two years to tram young men and
women to become teachers in the
public schools. Thousands OF these
graduates find employment in other
states and rs per cent of them are
machine pedagogucs WI b o
breadth of fattainmcntand no natural
aptitude for teaching.
Perhaps the most indefensible
item of appropriation in the list,
however, is the 81, 900 for aportralt
of Ex-Governor Tanner. Having
turned Tanner to the wall long ago,
the taxpayers should not be taxed
$1,000 to preserve his physiognomy

Edison's New Invention.

Thomas A. Edison is on his way
from Florida with the plans of an
invention in his head which will
place automobiles in the matter Of
course class. In the inventors mind
are the germs Of a storage battery
not half so large and even less than
half as expensive as those now com,
monty in use. Edison evolved the
plans for this much needed motor
while on vacation in Florida. He
set up Il few models and tried their
effectiveness on some electric
launches with results that convinced
him they were the verv thing tor
automobiles. He is now on his way
north to organize company to
manufacture and sell the finished
article. Heretofore Edison has dis
posed of his patents to corporations,
who reaped millions IN the manu-
facture and purveyance of the uItl'
mate product. He has grown wise,
however, and sees no reason why
Edison should not have some large
and lasting benefit from the fruits
of his own genius. He sees much
profit IN this storage battery, even
at prices which will allow almost
everyone to have an auto OF some
style.-New York Letter to Kansas
City Times.

The Agents Best Chance.

The Constitution now offers
S25OO.OO in cash prizes to agents for
the very best agents work during
the first quarter of the first year of
the new century. Omitting all con,
tests, except for agents, they place
the whole sum to the agents credit
and make the terms equitable for
distributing it over the whole teri,
tory. The Constitution wants good
agents everywhere. Men who will
get out and canvass and hustle for
new business Many who have to 60
over their own and adjoining couu-
ties on business can take The Con-
stitutlon along as the best side line.
Country doctors, rural route mail
carriers, nursery men, farmers and
good workmen. could all realize a.
mong the prizes and make their
commission besides. A fair salary
proposition for any man.
The MISREPRESENTATION makes
special feature of its agricultural
page, winch is presided over by
Colonel r. J. Redding, director of
the Georgia experiment farm, and
man who is recognized as an ak,
pert on all agricultural topics. He
gives a full page every week on ag-
riculiural matters A page IS devo-
ted to the women and page to the
children, these two departments
being presided over by Mrs. william
King.
Every man should take his county
newspaper before anything else,
and next to this he should take
good general newspaper, such as
The Constitution. His county pa
per gives him the local home news,
which is not supplied by a news
paper furnishing the general news
from all parts of the country and
from all over the world. Before a
man seeks information from out
side, he should first feel sure that
he is being kept posted on what is
going on at home. When, however,
the opportunity is offered to get
the best weekly newspaper in this
country with your home paper, the
lnducement is such as to elicit
prompt response from our readers.
We will be glad to receive club
bing subscriptions with this paper
and The Constitution, and if there
are any who are now subscribers
to this paper, who wish to take The
Constitution also, we will be glad
to receive subscriptions to the lat.
ter and forward them, having au.
thority from that paper to do 80.
The Constitution should be in
every homel
