DAMAGING DIscL osURE.
The Mean Resort OF Po1ltscarcandi-
date for once to Heat His
Opponent.

The two candidates for the legislature
we're speakers from the same platform,
states the Chicago Tribune.
My fellow citizens said the candidate
with the long black mustache, rising to
speak in his turn, II am able at last to un-
mask the hypocrite that has just addressed
you. It Is a disagreeAble duty, but you have
q right to know what manner of man he is.
Well may he trenfble at the disclosure am
about to make, for it knocks the last prom
from under him and shows him to you IN hia
true light.
Here the speaker paused to take drink
of water.
Then he slowly turned his head, looked
over his shoulder at the other candidate
with a glance of concentrated scorn, and
faced the audience again.
A hush pervaded the hall.
Fellow citizens" he exclaimed, in 9
voice st thunder, this man poses as a
friend of the common peoplei He goes
around shaking hands with everybody! Dc
you know why he does it? I will tell you
He does it to deceive you. Fellow citizens
he is no horny-handed son of toll! Those
caHouses in the palms of his hands were
never produced by work. He never did q
days work in his life. Those callouses are
wartsi Warts, my fellow citizensi Warts!
Warts in the palms of his hands! Let him
deny it if he cant"
The other candidate couldn't deny it, and
It cost him the election.

WALKING FOR BEAUTY.


Physicians of the best reputation,
who have closely studied the matter,
unhesitat ingly assert that walking is
the best exercise woman can engage
in for the development of her physical
charms. The woman who is in the
habit of taking the street cars for
every three blocks she wishes to travel
is the one who has a bad complexion
and complains of growing stout. She
will tell you that her spine troubles
her, that her feet are rheumatic, that
she cannot walk--positively must not
do so.
If you are among that number say
nothing but get to work and walk.
Take walk every day, give up the
street car habit unless you have some
real riding to do or time is an object,
and every day walk little farther.
An excellent thing is exercise and
If you do not find walking agrees with
you then take to the gymnasium. Aft
er you have tried all the physical cul-
ture exercises try the open air ones.
A delightful open air gymnasium is
situated ON the banks of the Susque-
hanna. It is in the ground of a great
millionaire, who built it for one of
his daughters, a girl who was delicate
from girlhood. In the gymnasium
there are high walls, but the Enclosure
is SO great you do not feel as though
hemmeJ in, yet there is privacy.
One day with her friends she plays
as Diana of the chase. Taking a bow
she pulls a stiff string and sends the
arrows flying with all her strength.
This is magnificent exercise for the

WHAT AN ALMANAC DID.

Matthews, Ark, Aug. 25th.-Mrs.
Lee S. Sanders, of this place, tells how
an almanac saved her life.

Almanac for 1902 and in it read some
stories of how Dodd's Kidney Pills had
cured many very bad cases of Kidney
Trouble.

gan to use them and in short time VIC
were surprised and delighted at the
wonderful improvement in my case.

late ambassador, usually spent the
heated term at Newport.
Ambassador and Mrs Herbert will
undoubtedly receive a cordial wei
come at the national capital when
ever they come, as they both are
well known in the city and have
legion of friends.
The determination to select Mr.
Herbert as ambassador to the Unit
ed States was reached after many
consultations with those best fitted
to voice an opinion in the matter.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at Paris, Mr.. Her
bert was really minister p1enipoten-
tiary to France, and as such he fire.
quentIy acted in most important
crises in the absence of Sir Edmund
J. Monson, Great Britain's ambassa-
dor there.
Mr.. Herbert's marriage with Leila,
daughter of Richard T. Wilson, of
New York, as a result of which he
became closely related to the Van
derbilts, the Ogden Goelets and the
Astors, will undoubtedly add to his
usefulness as Great Britain's am
bassador at Washington. Mr.. Her
bert's record at Washington as
charge d'affaires from 1888 until
1889, and as secretary to the British
legation here from 1892 to 1898, and
his work as British agent on the
Venezuelan commission, eminently
fit him, so official belief inc1ines, for
his new and important duties.
Mr.. Herbert's recent position at
Paris was somewhat curious, for,
while holding the rank of full
fedged minister, he had to take Sec
ond place whenever Sir Edmund J.
Monson, the ambassador, was pres
ent.
Before the new ambassador at
Washington takes up his duties the
salary attached to the position will
probably be put upon par with the
highest paid in Great Britain's diplo-
matte service, namely, that which is
paid the ambassador at Paris, E 9,O0C
a year.

TIDINEss IN THE HOME.
wives and Husbands Should Always
Make Themselves Attractive
to Each other.

A great mistake which married
women often make is that of becoming
very careless of their dress and gen.
eral appearance in the house when
company is not expected. The wives
of men with limited income are they
who are most prone to err in this re-
spect from a foolish idea that dowdi-
ness means economy, but nothing is
more fatal to the happiness of fam
lily than the unfortunate notion that
.'anything does when we are alone
we must keep our finery for those oc-
casions when we have visitors" Many
a man is tempted to leave his home,
tired of constantly meeting a shabby,
untidy wife, and to seek amusement
and gayety elsewhere. On their re-
turn from business, husbands or
brothers like to see their wives or sis
ters looking fresh and neat and at
tractiEe. No extravaganza need be in
dulged ina blouse of some bright
color, clean collar, q bow of pretty
ribbon, and the hair neatly and be-
comingly arranged, will make all the
difference in the cheerfulness and at
tractiveness of the home. A child
should be taught from an early age
to be tidy and clean to meet its IA
Their; and those who are old enough
to take their meals with their parents
should never be allowed to come to
the table until face and hands have
been washed and hair brushed-boys
as we'll as girls They should also be
taught that tidiness and politeness in
their own family circle are even more
important than<when in the company
of visitors or in another persons
house. The husbands also should be
careful to remove all traces of the
dust and CRIME of the office or work
shop, and pay a little attention to
their toilet before taking their place
at the table or fireside.-N. Y. Weekly.

have given me almost complete relief,
and 1 am sure that continuation OF
them will effect a permanent cure. Pc
runa is surely wonderful remedy
for catarrhal affections.-J. D. Botkin.
This is a case of catarrh of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years,
according to his statement, and Peruna
has at once come to his relief, promptly
accomplishing for him more benefit than
he had been able to find in all other
remedies during a quarter of a century
1t stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence, like Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stom-
ach, it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

there will be fair prices, almost
as high as at present, unless
something unforeseen might

1t is a conceded fact that the
supplies of stock in some parts
of the country, were largely
drawn and scarcer this spring
than has been the case in MANY
years. In pigs it doesn't take

will not be done inside of another

tend to support the high prices

great lowering of prices and feed

seems hie bly, important that the
usual cultivation be continued
rather late and at frequent inter-
walls on cotton that has had such

retained by cultivation will hast

can be continued till the new

could be continued even some
later.
