COSTLY PocKETBooKs.

Business in the pocketbook line will certainly be slow this year." said a man to a reporter the other day. ex- hibiting six varieties of money holders. Many business houses gave them away as advertisements during the holidays. and this is my share of ther1." The man with so many empty books explained that most of them had come from saloons. and while they were supposed to have cost nothing, they were really expensive.
 I'm not a frequel1ter of drinking places" he said. "but do take a nip occasionally. When I was told of the advertising pocketbooks I started to make the rounds of the places. In the first place I got off with the ex- penditure of a nickel, but the second advertiseent cost me just 25 cents The six pocketbooks cost me $2.S5, and when I reached home my wife scolded me because she thought I had made too many social calls.
 What did I do with the pocket books? l didn't show 'em to my wife. ."-Kansas City Star.

President Roosevelt's fondness for horseback riding recalls the fact that number of his predecessors had weaknesses in the same direction. Washington. who vies with Roosevelt as the best all-round athlete who has occupied the presidential chair, was fine horseman. and Jefferson had also the Virginia gentleman's fondness for the sport. The Puritaf1ic ancestry of John Quincy Adams did not deter him from riding and taking an interest In horse racing. Franklin Pierce was a good horseman and always well mounted. The first Harrison, Taylor, Tyler and Polk were at home In the saddle. Andrew Jackson was not only one of the best horsemen of his day, but was also a daring rider to hounds. The presidents of the last generation have not been given to athletic sports, Mir Cleveland least of all.

 The sea of Asov, an arm of the Black sea, is to be improved for nav igation by a novel method. It Is joined to the Black sea by the strait of Kertch, which is about two miles wide and possesses maximum depth of 27 feet. But at the various ports along it's shores the depth is only from five to fourteen feet. Every effort thus far made by the govern. neht to maintain channels for seago- ing craIt has been unavailing, and ii has been necessary to maintain a costly system of lighterlng. It is pro- posed, therefore, to get rid of the lat ter by raising the level of the entire sea, through the construction of 2 dam across the strait of Kertch. This dam will raise the water high enough to give 90 feet of water in all the ports. A large amount of shore prop erty will have to be protected. and compensation for damages to exist ing harbor work will be included iE the bill of expenses.-San Francisco Chronicle

Tt makes me just furious"
 This declaration of anger coming from a strikingly beautiful girl in a red velvet hat on street car the oth- CT afternoon attracted the attention of others than the companion to whom the exclamation was directed
 What's the matter?' asked the companion.
 Why, it's the way some of these navy people treat Admiral Schley. Now, what do you think I saw this afternoon? l went to the home of navy officer, man who has been conspicuots1y before the public for the last 15 years. and who commanded one of the big battleships at Santiago. His daughters have pet dog. This after noon they called the animal into the parlor and asked the company if they would not like to see Il very clever trick. Everybody wanted to. or course. for next to admiring babies one must admire the dogs of ones hoSteSseS
 Now, ToodleS,' said one of the daughters, here is a great big nice piece of candy Admiral Schley has sent you. And here is tiny little piece Admiral Sampson has sent you. will put them on the chair, and you take the one you would rather have Then the dog did the trick that made the hearts of his owners beat with pride. He went to the chair and ate the small piece of candy with great delight, and then turned away leaving the large piece that Admiral Schley was supposed to have sent untouched. Everyone said the trick was the smart est thing they had ever seen. Then one of the daughters picked up the ! large piece of candy, called Toodles. and told him there had been a mis- take, that Admiral Sampson had also sent the large piece of candy. Where upon the ugly little canine devoured the large piece, too.

Speaking of the countries that have shown their friendship for the United States in times of trouble, Q staff writer for q New York paper says: 'Next to Germany comes Russia as q friend of long standing, and friend in need, when England was plotting our destruction. The London Times of a month back took up its parable against Russia, sneering at the inter mittent fiirtation' between that coun- try and our own, and stigmatizing as a myth the statement that Russia has offered the use of her navy to our gov ernnent in case England and France interfered in the war for the Union. It is admitted that Secretary Stewards son has declared that the statement is true, and that on his fathers authori- ty, but alleged his admission that probably there Is no official record of the fact showing that it is pure 1llu- sion' This is frank way of saying that either Secretary Seward lied to his son or his son lied in quoting him. Neither lied, TOT the fact was as he stated 1t. That I know from source nearly as good as Secretary Seward himself The Russian fleet was sent to our coast, under sealed orders, and those orders were to be opened only in case England and France recognized the southern confederacy and took measures to break the blockade. And dr government was informed verbally of the fact, though l have reason to doubt if 1t was told more than just what have stated"

We know of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the, market for coughs, colds, and that alarming complaint, croup. We refer to Chamberlains Cough Remedy. We have used 1t with such good results i'll our family so long that it has become household fiecas- Sity. By it's prompt use we haven't any doubt but that it has time and again prevented cro1p.
