Married Mems Musings.

Womans influence is, on the whole,
elevatng. She generally holds fellow
up on payday.
Never judge a man by tine clothes he
wears. Look at those he has to buy for
his wife.
No woman ever feels as though she
could trust another who wears last
years hat.
1t is not good for man to be alone, but
sometimes it's very much pleasanter.
The man who wrote Absence Makes
the Heart Grow Fonder' never returned
at a. M and found his wife waiting Tor
him at the head of the stairs.
A girl isn't an old maid until she be-
gins to worry for fSaI she will never get
married. a man isn't an old bachelor I'M

Anyway, Eve was unable to threaten to
go home TO her mother when Adam
wouldn't put up the screen doors.
1t is not proper to judge man by his
wife, either. Perhaps he couldn't help it.
Hard-snips are the kind that sail on the
sea of matrimony-
Almost every wife wants her husband
to make her an allowance, while she re-
fuses to make any allowances for him.
After a girl has employed all her arts
in landing a husband it gratifies her 20
read that she was lied TO the altar.
While all men are liars there are excep-
lions to the rule, and Il girl is generally
willing to take an exception.
Women love bargains so much that they
delight in making men feel cheap.

farmer who does not care enough

he is thus depreciating the value of

The friends of the many American
teachers now in the Philippines will

port that four young men teaching

called Louisiana the transaction
took place between our government and
Napoleon Bonaparte, who was then the
despotic ruler of France, but whose

Gates of the old. established monarchi-

was overthrown at Waterloo. was ban

Cost Of the Boer War.

1t has been generally conceded that
England would eventually conquer the
Boer forces in South Africa, but when
the end comes, she will find the cost to
have reached an enormous figure. There
are many persons who also spend large
sums of money in a vain search for health
They take all kind of medicines, which
at the best only give temporary relief,
and the patient is as far from recovery
as at the start. The result is different
with those who use Hostetters Stomach
Bitters for Indigestion, dyspepsia. heart
burn, constipation. biliousness, insomnia
or malaria, fever and ague. 1t positively
cures. Hundreds of persons have said so,
and many. prominent physicians and
druggists always recommend it. Be sure
to try it. Our Private Stamp is over the
neck of the bottle.

the repeal of the war taxes which

the repeal of the war taxes which
went into effect, yesterday, is one of
the greatest reductions in revenue ever
made by a government. 1t means that
Uncle Sam voluntarily cuts down his
annual income to the extent of about
$75,000,0 900, and the internalrevenue taxes
go back to the former basis before the
war with Spain. Under this repeal the
special taxes are lifted from brokers,
dealers in grain securities and the like,
pawnbrokers, custom house brokers,
proprietors of theatres, circuses, public
exhibitions, bowling alleys, billiard
rooms. dealers in tobacco, manufact-
urers of tobacco and cigars. Stamp
taxes will be taken from instruments,
papers and documents, issues of stock,
deliveries are transfers, from sales and
agreements of sales or agreements to
sell stocks, produce or merchandise,
wines. seats in parlor cars and berths
in sleeping cars. The law will also re-
peal excise taxes on persons, firms,
companies and corporations engaged in
refining petroleum or sugar.

There will be little regret on this side
that the American college boys who
went to London to take part in the coro-
nation boxing contests have been beaten
by the English collegians. The Ameri-
cans went against the wishes and pro-
tests of the faculties and athletic au-
thorities Of their colleges. They are not
representative athletes, even in their

standing as representing our colleges.

Cubas first minister to Washington,
GonZalo de Quesada, is more Ameri-
canized than his name. He was born
in Havana in 1868, and was educated in
the public schools of New York, and
later in the college of the City of New
York. from which he was graduated in
1883. After studying at Columbia and
New York universities he took his de-
gree in law. Senior Quesada repre-
scented the republic of Cuba during
the revolution, and became the pet OF
the patriotic ladies in Washington. He
is n dark-eyed, handsome, gallant

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many Augusta
Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause Of backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
It is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
An Augusta resident tells you how
this can be done.
Mr.. Everett G. Smith, printer with
the Kennebec Journal for years, says:
1.-The more Doan's Kidney Pills be-
come known the fewer people there will
be who suffer from backache. My ex-
perience with this remedy, which pro-
cured at Charles X. Partridge's Old
Reliable drug store, opposite the post
Office. leads me to this conclusion. In
my case, the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills quickly and thoroughly relieved
me of pain in my back which had
bothered me for a considerable time
