the great diversity Of crops and also 10
the rotation Of grains prevalent IN the

I hate to go home at night. This
servant question is gradually upset

Witherby smiled plying smile.
SWhat do you keep her for?" he asked.

pleton, sbecause the chances are the
next one will be worse
> .Witherby laid his hand on his
friends shoulder. ssMy dear fellow
he said, "that is the whole trouble.
That is the key to the entire ques-
ton. Householders, as rule, are too
timid or too lazy. [ don't know which.
You take anything you can get, and
suffer, rather than change"
SsBut," interrupted Dimpleton,
with some surprise, "why should we
change if it doesn't do any good?"
'"The point" replied Withefby, is
this: I've tried it, and know. My.
method is troublesome for awhile, but
it pays. I keep on changing until I
just get the girl I want. never en-
gage a servant for more than weeks
trial. Then, if she doesn't fulfill my,
requirements exactly, [ try another
one. keep this up until I am satis-'
fed. Of course, while you are doing,
this it is more or less upsetting. But
it's the only way"
Dimpleton was thoughtful. 'T
don't know but you're right" he said,
finally. 'sHow long have you been
trying this?"
Witherby sighed. "About 16
years." he said.-London Tit-Bits.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats. the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but

PHARIsEEs.


The man who is practically in cons
troll of the railroads of the anthracite
region and more than anyone else in
direct command of the sffairs of the
main owners who are owners of the
railroads is President Baer of the
Reading railroad. the leading one in
the district. Here is what he says of
the situation:
beg of you not to be discouraged.
The rights and interests of the labor
ing man will be protested and cared
for-not by the labor agitators, but
by the christian men whom God in
his infinite wisdom has given the con.
troll of the property interests of the
country and upon the successful
management of which 30 much de.
pends.'
A correspondent for the Chicago
American suggests thai:
Perhaps it would be we'll to suggest
TO President by-Divine Right Baer
that it might be to his advantage to
consult the Bible, reading the 9th
chapter of James, verses one to six;
go, to now. ye rich men, weep
and howl for your miseries that shall
come upon you.
"Your riches are corrupted, and
your garments are moth.eaten
"Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them shall be witness
against you and shall eat your flesh
as it were fire. Ye have heaped
treasure together for the last days.
behold, the hire of the laborers
who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud
crieth; and the cries of them that
have reaped are gathered into the
ears of the Lord of Sabbaoth.
"Ye have lived in pleasure on the
the earth, and been wantop; ye have
nourished your hearts, as in day OF
slaughter"
Verses 1 to 4, chapter 10 Isaiah,
and dozens of other passages in the
Bible would be equally instructive to
the miserable hyp critics like Baer,
| who pose as christians while giving
the lie by word and act to every com.
mandment and lesson taught by
Christ. Baer and Morgan, like most
of the trust msgnates and railroad
magnates, are violaters not only OF
the moral law, but of the civil law,
and if they had their deserts would
be in the penitentisry or Jail and
would stay there until they behaved
themselves.

Had You Ever Thought

That education is not a stuffed
memory, but a well trained mind.
That there is one kind of faultfinder
who is all right-the one who finds out
his own faults and fights them.
That the boy who is always kind to
both man and brute is respected by
gentlemen, and will be one himself.
That the man who does the best he
can every day is success, whether he
ever finds it out or not.
That the loudest takers have the
least interested listeners-a believing
bull is of less interest than a neighine
colt.
That the simple, home remedies
that mother used are much less harm
full than the druggists patent medi.
cines.
That the profession of politics is
about as lucrative as poker playing
only one out of every hundred become
slick enough to win out in the long run.

HUMAN PIEED AT CHAPLIN.

Claf1in is all excited this week
over the brutal act of a fend IN
human shape, which occurred
Wednesday morning. A girl
about 10 or 20 years old, named
Tullis, whose home was near
Galatia, has been stopping at
Galloway's assisting in the care
OF a young baby. Wednesday
morning about 5 O'Clock she
had occasion to go to the back
yard. When close to the out
building a man sprang out OF
the weeds and saving. "Now
I've got you, " grabbed her by
the throat and choked her mer-
cilessly. When found the girl
was in an insensible condition,
with the clothes almost torn off
her. She had made a terrible
struggle for her honor before be-
coming insensible. A young
fellow living west of Clafiin who
had made some talk about the
girl, was suspected, and Sheriff
johnson drove over early Thurs
day morning to, if possible, ap-
prehend the fellow. AS we go to
press Thursday afternoon there
are no new developments, eN-
cepting that the officers have
two parties under suspicion.

THIR TY-sE EN- republican

THIR VEN republic an
papers in Kansas are denouncing
T. T. Kelly, the embezzler candi-
date for state treasurer, and de-
manding that Kellys name be
taken off the ticket. But the
bosses have decided to stand by
Kelly and force him onto The
party. When a party upholds
such reprobates as Kelly, Luling
and Dayhoff for prominent state
positions it is time for the honest
voters to stop and think what
they have been led into. The
average republican voter is for
honesty, decency and ability; but
the republican machine in Kan
sas cares not a snap for those
things if by ignoring them they
can win. We cannot believe that
such kind of politics will continue
to be successful. We have a
higher opinion of the mass of
voters, even In the republican
ranks. Those men above men,
toned should meet political de
feat, as should all who uphold
them.

HENRY CLEws in one of his
recent circulars calls attention
to the fact that while the railway
traffic has fallen off during the
last year, their earnings have in
creased. He says: "This gain it
is worthy of note, was made in
spite of smaller grain, cotton and
livestock movements, and the
coal strike which began in May.
So much again for the absence
of rate wars and the maintain
ance of higher rates through the
community of interest y This
statement is something for the
man who says that trusts di-
minish the cost of their products
to the people, and who says that
trusts will fall of their own
weight.
"THERE are no scandals in the
present republican administra-
tion' SO the governor and his
friends say. There may not be
but the people have heard of a
great many things which look
suspiciously like the real article.
The robbery Of convicts at the
penitentiary may not be a scan
dal but hepeople know no other
name for such things. The Will
anous treatment of the boys at
the reform school may not be
either but it seems that there is
no other characterization which
would be in accord with the facts.
