GENTLEMEN About four years
ago | bought one of your binders from
your agent, Mr.. A. d. Naylor, and
would say that consider it one of the
best investments | ever made. The
binder has been in use every season
and for convenience in operation and
ease of running | consider it the best.
| have also had one of your mowers in
use for several years and cannot say
too much for the Mccormack goods
and would advise farmers contem-
plating buying farm machinery to
investigate the Mccormick before do
ing so. Yours truly,
Louis SOELTER.
P. S. In the four years l used the
Mccormick it has not cost me cent
for repairs and did it's work in the
best style it can be done.

GENTLEMEN:-We bought one of
your Mccormick binders from your
agent, A. d. Naylor. We cut about
% acres of wheat and ~ acres of oats
with it. Did good reaping and bind
ing-better than we thought it would.
About seven acres of the wheat was
on new land among,roots and stumps.
The stumps were cut low and we cut
over the most of them and it did good
work Yours truly,

DEAR SIR'-The Right Hand Open
Elevator Binder purchased Of your
agent, this season, is one that would
certainly suit any intelligent farmer.
The strong build of the machine, the
large, strong main wheel, solid steel
platform, certainly mean durability.
The draft is exceedingly light. I
cut my harvest with two light horses.
| have handled the Deering, the Os-
borne, and the Champion, and /
greatly prefer the Mccormick over
them all, even at much higher price.

DEAR SIR;-We purchased one of

which has cut from sixty to seventy
five acres each and every harvest
since, and will cut as we'll today as
any machine on the market. We
paid 5000 for this mower and we re-
gard it, as we'll as all other machines
that Mccormick makes, the best on

The machine above mentioned is q

We purchased one of your Right

cutting our harvest we are free to
confess we believe it to be the best
binder on earth. The first afternoon
we ran it we cut nine acres, had no
experts or agents near, had no instruc.

need no instructions to run them.
We shall be glad to recommend the
Mccormick to anyone who is in want

it is the lightest running as well as

This is to certify that was in the

of Eli Harshberger between the Nc
Cormick Right-Hand Binder and the
johnson. | watched the work of
both machines closely; they both did
the cutting of the grain well, but
when it came to handling the grain
the Mccormick did it far better, es-
pecially in elevating and binding it.
The johnson Binder did very poor
job in elevating, made very uneven
butts on the bundle, and great deal
of grain went through the machine
that was not bound at all

President Roosevelt's Course.

A Washington correspondent Of a
Massachusetts paper claims to have
had a conversation with the private
secretary Of Republican senator,
whose name is not given, from which
and other sources of information he
concluded as follows: "Roosevelt's
course has been very hard for the Re.
publican politicians to understand. He
has held his head high, ordering this
or that as he saw fit, consulting Meth.
err this man nor that, offending south
erners, reprimanding Miles, assuming
the full dictatorship over the army.
pretending to settle for once and all
time the Beef trusts fate and making
a dab for popularity by ordering a
government representative to CLEAN
facts about the coal strike" The sem
ator's secretary contrasted this course
with that of Mckinley in relation to
matters of party dispute and predicted
that there would be no future prest
dental term for Roosevelt.

Thinqs Miners Might Have Said.

There are some things to be said
of railroad corporations which the
miners do not say in their statement
The corporations are and have been
VIGOROUSLY acting in contravention of
law. They break the law when they
add to the business OF common car
rier that of coal mining, and it is none
the less unlawful when done indi-
rectly through nominally independ-
ent but really subsidiary coal corpora
ton They break the law when they
charge absurdly high and unreason-
able rates for freight of the highest
class and that are three or four times
as high as rates on bituminous COAL
And they break the law when they
combine to regulate production, limit
the output and establish prices on a
complete monopoly basis. Moreover,
they have been privileged to monopo-
lie for private profit limited and in

be prepared to give to my constitu-

current at one time that Mr.. Little

Roosevelt to prepare such bill for
congress as an administration meas

The Presidents Position.

To all appearances the Presidents
attitude with relation to trusts and
corporations generally is a great sur
prise to everybody.
Democratic organs as well as Re
publican organs seem to be at loss
to account for his position and wholly
unable to determine whether he Is in
earnest or not.
Republican newspapers confine
their utterances chiefly to exceedingly
cautious Endorsements of the Presi-
dents alleged purposes. They are on
thin ice and they know it. They do
not know at what minute they may be
called upon to turn handspring and
wave off the antitrust clamor as
something Democratic and therefore
anathema.
On the other hand, Democratic
newspapers undertake to belittle his
suggestions as not wholly sincere, as
actuated by politics and ambition and
as signifying a purpose which the
trust magnates will very soon compel
him to abandon if he shall entertain a
hope of continued leadership in his
party.
AS the matter stands now, there.
fore, it may be said that the organs
on both sides are slightly bewildered
and that all of them are inclined to
fear that he may mean business.

NURSES LIVES UNRoMANTIc.
Seldom Marry Physicians or Patients
They Have Attended.

Seldom Marry Physicians or Patients
They Have Attended.
It is generally supposed that there
is a good deal Of romance about the
life of a professional nurse and that
large hospitals are matrimonial
bureaus where men and women fall in
love with incessant regularity. Elk
actly the opposite is true. Nurses, as
a rule, do not marry men whom they
have nursed as patients, nor do they
select for husbands the physicians
with whom they come in contact In q
professional way. g..
In the last year and half but one
engagement among the nurses at the
Chicago hospital has been announced,
and the incident was so unusual that
i. created no end of comment. The
affair was, in fact, an extreme novelty,
although the female attaches of the
institution are unusually good looking.
"This proves that nurses do not
lead the romantic lives that they are
credited with by the outside world,
said a physician. Il have frequently
heard it said that men who had been
seriously i'll often married the trained
nurses who had taken care of them.
This is nonsense. I have employed
hundreds of these women nurses In
the course of my practice, and have
yet to hear of match resulting from
one of them. AS a general thing the
patient takes an aversion to the nurse
who has cared Tor him, and the better
she has looked after him and the more
strictly she has enforced the doctors
instructions the less he has cared Tor
her.
Physicians sometimes fall in love
with the nurses they meet in their
practice, but such affairs, instead of
being common, are rare. If any girl
enters the profession with the idea of
capturing husband she is apt to find
herself sadly Sold" H.

Not Evidence of Popularity.

Without knowledge of all the cir
cumstances-a knowledge only to be
obtained by favored few-it is dis
tinctly unsafe to draw deductions
from such an episode as the presenta-
tion of a cane to Senator Hanna by
the men employed on his street rail-
way in Cleveland. The spontaneity of
such gifts is always more or less
dubious, and the motives which in
duce men to contribute to them are
varied and complex. AS often as not
the whole affair is engineered by a
few self-seeking people, the others
coming into it after it is started, not
because of a fervent desire to express
admiration or esteem, but because the
consequences of refusal would be un-
pleasant or even dangerous.

enth congress at its recent session
made a monumental record OF appro-
priations, beside which the prodigality
of the famous billion dollar con-
gress, which expired on March 4.
1893, appears paltry indeed" With
the direct appropriation Of about
$500, 900, 900 and 100000, 900 Of hold

ratio 1t would be a two billion dollar

may confidently be asserted that If

anxious to tell the public so. But
they have refused, and still refuse,
