 A high authority in advertising makes the positive affirmation that "the advertising which is continu- ous, which never lets up' at any time, but keeps on hammering away with insistence, must win out no matter what it may have to con- tend with and despite obstacles of any nature. 1t is not within the possibilities that such a campaign will fail if the object which is ad- vertised has but ordinary merit"

There's beautiful face in the silent air
Which follows me ever an near;
With its smiling eyes and amber hair,
With voiceless lips, yet with breath of

That feel. bat cannot hear.
There's sinless brow with radient
crown,
And a cross laid down in the dust;
There's smile when never a shade
comes now.
And tears no more from those dear eyes
flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
There's beautiful region above the
skies,
And long to reach its shore;
For l know shall find my treasure
there,
The laughing eyes and amber hair,
OF the loved one gone before.

The American Farmer.

The American farmer is the
greatest man in the world. A "com-
bine" with capital of 81 600, ,000,-
600 is great thing because it is
combine; but $1,OOO,OOO,OOO rela-
lively to the capital of money,
brain and Drawn invested in the
agricultural industry in this coun-
try is not at all great thing. Fig
ures simply stagger and fall down
when they attempt to represent the
real foundation wealth of America,
which is agricultural. We are all,
when we attempt to contemplate
that wealth, very much in the po-
sition of the Irishman who had to
look several times in order to see
the tall building-tsking it little
by little. One section of the view
is the information, entirely acour-
ate that the farmers of Minnesota
and the Dakotas nave received
S300,O00.000 for their products this
year. Another is that the corn crop
of the State of Kansas this year
will bs 26O,OOO,OOo, bushels. Still
another, that 81, 100000, at the low
est estimate, fell in one soaking
rain in the single territory of Okla
homa the other day-the rain hav-
ing checked the growing menace of
a fortnight's dry spell. In a single
year the milch COWS of the United
States yield a product equal in val
ne to one half of the capital of the
steel trnst-and there are more
COWS at the beginning of the new
year than there were before. Be-
hind the agricultural is the agri-
culturist. and the American farmer
is gaining in intelligence, in mas
terry of his soil. He may be merely
waiting to be organized into vast
and irresistible public force. Or,
again, he may be slowly and sadly
reconoiling himself to the knowl-
edge that he is passive force only
like his own fertile acres. which, by
intelligent cultivation and exploita-
ton, are made to yield rich crops
for those who know how to get
them.

Progress in the Breeding of the
Horse.


Great progress is being made in
the breeding up and improving in
our stock of horses The farmer
is making his best effort in this
branch, realizing that crossing his
mares with the best stallion he
can find is paying investment. He
is also more careful in breeding
his mares in the class they belong,
thus producing a horse which has
certain market class. This state
is one of the great leaders in the
production of horses and is one of
the first states to substantially ap-
probate high class stallion, know
ing the return value of such an in
vestment, and they accordingly are
first to reap the reward. The mar
ket dsmand for good horses can
poi be supplied and now that we
have steady and reliable foreign
trade for our horses there need be
no fear of an over production.
The wars have taken out an enor-
nous number of horses which were
undesirable for home use, leaving
their places to be filled with q
much better class of animal which
can not but materially benefit the
horse in general
Every year are exciting in the
qualities of the stallions. price
seeming to make little differences
as long as the individual and breed
ing are there, and at no time have
found the demand 30 great rs now
for a high class horse. The three
GLASSES of horses which today are
most indemand, therefore the more
profitable to raise, are the trotter,
the draft (either Percheron OF Bel
gian) and the German coach.
The latter horse is just CON-
menoine to receive his reward,
having been introduced but some
fifteen years, and while it has taken
some time, great deal of hard
work and toll to establish this
horse, he is now in the front rank
as producer and we firmly believe
is the coming horse of America for
all purposes suitable for the farm
er, and brings the high price in
the market for carriage and coach.

ReSOlUed, That we are opposed
to the combination of the wealth
of the country in the form of trusts,
by the favor of the Republican
party, against the interest of the
masses of the people, and so fruit
full of labor strikes and general in
jury to the common people.
ReSOlced, That we condemn the
Republican party for not having
legislated to check the encroach-
ments of corporations and the
money power upon the poorer
classes.
ReSOlUed, That we are opposed
to the policy of the party in power
which enslaves the natives of the
Philippine Islands and continually
tends to the climax If their long
continued purpose of change in
the form of government founded by
our fathers to one of centralized
power.
ReSOLUed, That we condemn the
attitude of that party toward the
Cuban Republic in their tariff pol
10y.
In short the Democrats of this
District are in favor of embalming
upon the Statute Books of the
State wise, sensible and wholesome
laws, such as may be interpreted
by the ordinary citizen and enforced
by the courts favoring the best in
terests of the people of this state.

OWNS THE TOWN.
West virginian Adopts Novel
Method of Engaging in Lii
,quOr Business.

Hendricks, w. Va, Aug. 20
O. D. Gillespie, of Hendricks,
Tucker county, has come out a vio-
tor after vainly trying for six years
to get a liquor license. The corpor-
alton authorities of Hendricks in
variably turned down his applica-
ton. He offered them 81 900 a
year and was still refused. There
upon he bought five acres of land
across the Cheat river. directly op-
posite Hendricks, and built twelve
large houses and moved in fami-
lieslarge enough to represent 103
souls All this has transpired since
January 9. In the June term of
court of Tucker county he had his
town of twelve large houses moor
porated under the name of Brooklyn
Heights. On July II, at the in
stance of VIM. Gillespie, mayor
and council were elected, and right
afterwards he applied to the county
court for license to sell liquors in
the corporation of Brooklyn
Heights, which was granted.
He Immediately started to erect
a saloon building, and in forty
eight hours the building was COM
pleted and he was distributing the
beverage gratis. He has now CON-
tracted for a cable foot bridge
across the Cheat river at an ex-
pense of between $3.50 and $500,
and has also built village lookup.
He is now selling liquor in his own
town and under his own mayor
and city council.
Crowds flock into Gillespie's
town from Hendricks and Ham
bleton and he is doing land Office
business. The saloon. faces Hen
bricks and stands with wide open
doors and is but a minutes walk
from the old town.
To sum up the matter Gillespie
owns the town, collects the rents,
controls the corporation taxes and
fines those who become drunk and
disorderly from the liquor he sells
and can lodge them in his own
lookup. He also owns a whole
street in Hendricks, several dwell
ing houses and store buildings,
half interest in the bar at Hot
Springs, Va, and property in Da-
Wis and Elkins, w. Va, and prop
erty in Goshen, Va. He is worth
S125. 900 and has monthly income
of $70O. The only way to close
Gillespie's saloon would be by
special act of the Legislature max
ing his new town a part of Hen
dricks.

Shortest Sermon on record.

Twice requested on Sunday
morning recently to make his ser
mon short on account of the hot
weather, Rev. Henry Gillingham,
pastor of the Methodist Church at
Atlantic, Mich, preached the
shortest sermon on record. He
took the following text:
Text, Luke, Is "a: And he cried
and said: Father Abraham, have
mercy on me, and send Lazarus,
that he may dip the tip of his fing-
ers in water and cool my tongue,
for l am tormented in this flame. :"
Then he said: Three persons
Dives, Lazarus. 1t
was hot where Dives was. He did
not like it. He wanted to get out.
So do we. Let us prayI"
That was the whole sermon. It
made hit.
