Time and again in the worlds hiss tory has a name applied in derision been adopted by the persons sneered at and later been considered with pride. Gotham, New York's alias. was originally applied in derision, doubtless because of some alleged foolishness of New Workers, the name being taken from "The Merry Tales of the Madmen of Gotham" satirical ktories written in the fifteenth cen- tury by Adam Borsie, a tCarthaginian monk, who afterward died in the Tower of London.-Chicago Chronicle.

People Who Live LONGEST.

From statistics it is learned that
the longest-lived people of the world
are the Norwegians. They are tenn
perate and simple in their habits and
preserve in great vigor the digestive
powers, which is most necessary in
the maintenance of good health. The
American usually lives so fast that
the stomach is neglected until his
health is completely undermined, and
he finds himself gradually getting
weaker and weaker. If you are one
of these sufferers we offer you a medi-
cine that will strengthen your stom-
ach and start you anew on health's
pathway. and 1t is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t will cure flatulency, indi-
gestion dyspepsia. constipation, inso-
minia, chills and malaria, fever and
ague. Don't fail TO try It, For sale

because of The Herald's position that
our home laboring men should be al
lowed to settle their grievances with
out the aid of outsiders. This does
not alter our position, however. 1t
is right to organize. Unionism fairly
conducted is best for the laboring
man. but when men are satisfied with
their pay and wages paid are above
the average in the country, it is not
the right thing for outsiders to lead
them into trouble We are not in a
position to state that Mr. Gehr is re-
sponsible for the men being idle, but
we do know that the big majority OF
coal miners of La Plata county have
been well paid and have been satisfied
with the wages until of late-since the
visits of Mr. Gehr 1t may be Just a
coincidence. We believe our laboring
men and the employers know the con
ditions of this section better than Mr..
Gehr or any outsider Personally we
have nothing against Mr.. Gehr, but
we do insist on our men deciding
their case without his assistance.
