 It is little tough on Grumpy and his kind that the Northern people keep on lynching negroes. Such conduct has a tendency to obscure the brilliancy of the arguments relied on by South-haters.

NOW LOOK OUT!

"Take care of yourself" say our friends
"pll try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammations and congestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cback and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

All Deny 1t.
Eastern Argus

Lord Cranborn's official statement In
the House of Commons with reference
to the attitude OF Great Britain regarding
the attempted Intervention of the conti-
mental powers against the United States
In its dispute with Spain, has stirred up
the European chancelleries. Germany es-
pecially is inclined to regard this publica-
ton of the fact that Great Britain inter-
posed decisive veto to the project OF in
tervention, as an effort to cOunteract her
cordial advances TO this country. The
German foreign Office hastens to declare
that Germany took no part In attempting
intervention, as alleged or implied In
London. France and Russia follow In the
endeavor to clear themselves from any
suspicion of intriguing against the United
States. Lord Cranborne's statement, how
ever. is confirmed by the Austrian-Hun-
garian foreign office, Austria-Hungary as
Spain's next friend having been the NOV
ing power In the peace propaganda: and
II e State Department at < "a rec
ognzes Lord CranborneE statement as
absolutely correct as far as 1t went, but
there are chapters In the story he did
not touch upon, which the department
deems 1t inexpedient to divulge. Whether
the inside history OF the attempted Euro"
pean Intervention will ever be made pub
lie in all its detail, is doubtful. But the
haste with which the continental powers
are tumbling over each other In their
efforts to disengage themselves from all
connection with It,, is highly flittering
to the United States. II Is worth some
thing to learn that these powers have
suddenly discovered that the goodwill OF
Uncle Sam has become an asset OF very
considerable international value.

Literary Notes.

Henry Loomis Nelson, the well-known
political critic and Washington cores
pondent, contributes to the February
Atlantic Three Months OF Roosevelt, a
brilliant and painstaking resume Of the
operations of the new administration,
from which he draws every encourage
ment, prophesying that President Roose-
velt will avail himself of his splendid
opportunities, and influence for good the
politics of the country.
A unique paper In the February Cen
tury is literary "fnd" In the shape OF a
diary of Kosciuszko, which has recently
been discovered in Poland, and which
records conversations with General
Washington and impressions of him be-
fore and during visit by the narrator
to Mt. Vernon in 1898. The diarist, Mr..
NiemcewicZ, n Polish poet, throws
much light on the character of General
and Mrs. Washington and on their home
life. The number contains fine unfa-
miliar Stuart portrait Of Washingt ton.
February being also the month of Lin
coins birth, there is an article on "Lin-
coin and Kentucky" by Cicero T. Sutton

Only $3.50 Per Week.
fBoston Herald

Great Britain makes a very large
profit out of her state monopoly OF the
postoffice, and 1T would seem as though
she could afford to pay her letter car
riers better wages than are reported In
some of the English papers. Last year
the net revenue from the post office de-
partment amounted to f3 897 ,520, or,
roughly speaking, 100000. since
1892 there has been a surplus In the
postal accounts which ran from f2 $780,
l07 10 1887 To f3, ,905, 1863 In 1900, and yet
10 spite of this enormous profit the post
master general has recently refused TO
grant petition from the post men that
they be given more wages and less gold
lace as a reward for their long service.
Letter carriers entering the service are
paid 24s. per week, with possibility, by
exemplary conduct, OF increasing this to
26a. per week, the salary limit. This
would mean, roughly speaking, salary
of S6 a week to begin with, which might
be Increased to So 80. These figures for
wages are so low, from an Ameaican
standpoint, that they hardly seem prob
able, but the statement Ia made in an
English paper of good standing. Ger
tainly, with the government making
almost 800, 100000 year out of the post
office, the carriers, considering the re-
sponsibility and severe penalties attach
ed TO their work, have good reason to
complain of the amount paid them.

In recent issue lady inquired how to
earn money and not leave home. One
woman know, who had no way of SELL
ing her prodnce, of which she had an
abundance. induced city friend to drive
out each evening for vegetables and fruit
which she sold cheaper than the city
gardeners and gave better measure. Oc-
casionally next-door neighbors ordered
vegetables through The city friend, and
ofttimes orders for five or ten gallons of
milk for ice cream for parties added to
her spending money. The city woman's
club often sent out for large quantities of
of berries, and on the Fourth Of July they
sent for so dozen red and white radishes
tied with blue ribbon, for which she re-
ceived 10 cents per dozen. When peach
es and pears were ripe she gave her city
friend 20 pc: cent commission on the fruit
sold, and both made considerable. The
money she earned in this way was clear
profit, as the farmer had no time or incli-
nation to bother with peddling. and the
surplus fruit would have been given away
