Prosperity and Price,.

The advocates of the free coinage
of silver are charged with having
been wrong in some things but on
one point, in particular, it has been
demonstrated that they were right.
They said that an increase in the cur
rency of the country would bring
high prices, and that high prices and
prosperity go hand in hand. No evil
dence is needed to prove that a gen.
eral and high degree of prosperity
prevails. r. G. Dun & Co., whose
statements will scarcely be called in
question, furnish the evidence on the
prices. They say:

-One of the last sharp Decembt

One of the last sharp December
days. says the Philadelphia Record.
"a boy entered the car leaving the
door open, much to the discomfort of
an old gentleman who sat next. As
the wind chilled his marrow his
temper rose. Leaning across his seat
and taking the kid by the ear, he
said: Where were you brought up,
in a barn? Why don't you shut the
dOor?- The boy said nothing but
closed the door, coming back to his
seat in tears. This sight moved the
old man to relenting pity. There,
there he said, little man. j didn't
really mean you were brought up in
a barn That's just it, retorted
the kid. 4 was brought up in a barn.
and every time i see a Gonkey it
makes me think of it."

CHILD'S MEDICINE
WHY?

Because SCOTS Emulsion re.
lieves such an extraordinary
variety of childrcn's diseases
all the way from slight colds to
the serious hip disease.
Because SCOTS Emulsion is
asharmless as milk. Well borne
even by the delicate stomachs
of babies.
Because children respond so
quickly to its action. A medi-
cine peculiarly suited to their
sensitive nature. 1t is wonder
full how rapidly delicate chill
dren improve in every way
while taking SCOTS Emulsion.
Because children like the
taste. Most of them like SCOTS
Emulsion at once. The rest
soon learn to like it. Little
daily doses bring the results.

FAILURE AFTER MARRIAGE.

Perhaps marriage is not always a
failure, but one that occurred the 9TH
er day has long question mark.
George Schweiger, popular young
barber who had been holding down a
chair at Timms' shop for some months
past, had a good job and was a good
man, became enamored of a variety
performer by the name of Pearl Rig
by. First buying her beer, then
wine, Schweiger began to believe that
he was the real baby and after awhile
saved up enough money to pay for
the marriage license and stand off the
judge, Sullivan, who is easy For a
wedding tour the throbbing hearts de-
cided that Spokane and Liberty lake
would be about the proper medicine
in their style. Thursday night they
started, Schweiger having ducked his
job at the barber shop and being ready
for the road. Pearl is an unsophisti-
Gated young thing, only 20 so the IL
cenSe READS, out she mad the money to
square up an attachment for some
jewelry served upon her at the depot.
Schweiger being more thrifty walked
to Sedan before he presented himself
to the conductor and thus avoided any
unpleasant explanations with the con-
stable who had claim on him for
board and room. AS both parties to
this marital arrangement seem to be
"on," there is probability that their
failure in the beginning may have a
luxurious ending, when the other fel-
low puts up for all of the luxuries
Pearl may need while George handles
the percentage, and the firm will know
no more failures.

WRECKED ON THE BLARNEY
STONE

Some peculiar documents reach the
county commissioners from people de-
string favors at their hands, but per-
haps the most versatile correspondent
is one who, native born of the Emer-
aid Isle, had the difficult task of in
gratiating himself by letter with all
the commissioners, but he failed to
write to Clerk Lagoni. Griffin is of
Irish descent, Gregg is Scot of course
and Christensen is Swede. To each
of these an applicant for road trustee
addressed letters which reflected upon
all nationalities but their own, q
clever display of Irish barney. Each
commissioner added his letter to the
file and three chapters in patriotism
may be learned from the scroll which
Is now among the archives. Need
less to state this particular Irishman
got no appointment.
