We are so constituted that what II
occurring at the moment interests us
often out Of all proportion to its i'm
portance. For example. we are thrown
on our balance by the merest tribes
perhaps which occur today. but which
In a weeks time may have no signih-
canoe whatever. Obstacles which seem
like mountains when we meet them
dwindle away to molehills when we
get away from them.
Even what seems tragedy at The mo-
ment In the future may be the most
innocent comedy.
Most OF us are so constituted that we
will make almost any sacrifice for pres
ent peace. 1t would seem easier to have
an arm or a leg amputated two years
hence than TO lose a finger today! 1t IL
human nature TO shrink from pain, and
we purchase release at almost any cost.
II we could only train the mind to look
at today's trouble and annoyance from
the standpoint Of the future, II would
be much easier to bcar.-Success.

FRENCH CAVE JEWELLERS.
1abitations followed IN the Rocky
tiillsldes OF Normandy.

We have often heard Of the cliff
lwcllcrs and are accustomed TO
think Of them as a prehistoric race
the remains of whose few scattered
dwellings, are a matter Of curiosity
10 tourists and a prize to antigua
rians. Few people know that at the
present day there are whole commu-
mites in France whose only habita-
tions are followed in the rocky hill
sides and whose entire business life
is carri~d on in caves.
We had seen in Normandy isolat-
ed instances Of people living in hab-
iiaiionS half house and half caves.
ont they were in far away towns and
villages. and only the very poorest
class of people lived in them. Our
first real cave city came as great
surprise. for we had Just left Tours.
Oh of The most highly civilized cit
los in France. We were riding on
the road TO Nouvray when suddenly
al a turn near Rochecorbon this
first town of cliff dwellers burst
upon us.
High above us lowered a huge
mass Of oycrhanging rock, strata
upon strata, bearing upon its sum-
NIT most peculiar tower, supposed
10 have been a watchtower in ages
gone by. lis foundations hung over
the rock upon which they were
built. and it seemed as though it
would crash down at any moment
upon the village beneath.
Scattered over the face of the
cliff doors and windows, narrow
stairways and little belvederes could
be seen, habitation upon habitation
in most picturesque disorder. Walls
along the highroad hid the immedi-
ate foreground, and we looked in
vain for an opening by which we
could have a nearer view of this
strange community. At last We
found an open gate and. peeping
through. were greeted by dear lit
tie old woman whose wrinkled, smil-
ing face was surmounted by a
snowy white cap. Her doorway was
a bower Of flowers, hollyhocks, as
tiers. nasturtiums and deep June
roses. BY its side was an old well
and a little outhouse for her wood
and gardening tools. Her CHEEKY
"Bon jour" was an invitation to en-
ter. and We gladly accepted her cor
diality. We followed her across the
little yard and we're soon seated in
her one and only room Scribner's.

MILKS' EMULSION.

This wonderful remedy has accom-
plished so many remarkable cures since
II was first put on the market by Mr.. j.
+. Mlks of Terre Haute, Ind, that we
feel in duty bound to bring il to the
attention of the public, with the object
in view of aiding sick and suffering
humanity.
This Emulsion is put up in such a
palatable form that II is a pleasure to
take. Immediate relief results from the
taking of the first bottle, and stomach
troubles of all kinds readily succumb to
this treatment, which draws out the
inflammation, kills the germs of disease
and cleanses and strengthens the mucous
membrane. Colds, coughs, Group and
other throat and lung troubles disap-
pear like magic, no matter Of how long
standing. and feverish conditions are
relieved.
Where the lungs are affected this rem
ledy operates in such manner as to enable
them to work freely and 70 contributs
pure, life-giving and life-sustaining
Oxygen to the blood. Weak lungs are
mostly due to a neglected cough. Only a
small percentage of those who have con.
sumption inherit II, and Milks' Emul-

prevents colds which have
settled upon the lungs from developing
into more serious forms of disease.

ton. Thousands of cures have been
effected and many of those benefited
have freely given testimonials a. to the
worth of the Emulsion. These testi-
monials will be sent prepaid to those
suffering from disease who will write for
them to The Milks' Emulsion Company,
Terre Haute, Ind, or inquire Of your
druggist, who sells the goods.

THE JOKE AS A POWER.


Than the PeD.
Men who fear nothing else shrink
from Z joke upon themselves. Soldiers
who do not finch before opposing guns
dread to be made ridiculous. Woe to
the national hero who makes one tri-
fling mistake which may subject him
TO clever caricature. His meritorious
career is henceforth shadowed by one
colored illustration. A comic paper will
tip the scales of justice. snatch the vic
tors prize from his extended palm and
rob the orator OF choicest laurels. A
brilliant satire will mar the fortunes
of the greatest statesman, laugh will
turn the tide OF political convention.
Indeed the joke Is fast becoming
mightier than the pen. The orator has
learned its value. and even the clergy
man resorts 10 il when he desires TO
stir the tagging interest OF his flock.
1T furnishes sufliciecs excuse for the
impertinence Of children. aud In its
name the daily papers deride the high
est national disnitaries.
What Is the meaning OF Its steady
growth In power and what results may
we predict from its humorous tyranny?
Is there a chance that our keen relish
for fun may finally produce kind Of
humorous dyspepsia resulting from
overindulgence. unless with epicurean
discrimination we demand quality, not
quantity. and stubbornly refuse to
swallow other than that which should
appease wholesome. nay cultivated
appetite in jokes?-Caroline Ticknor In

MAKING FORTUNES.
The Money of the Market Not For
the Man With n Theory.

Fortunes have been made in the Chi
cago board OF trade not by men who
entered the market with prcconceivcd
theory as TO its course. which they at
tempted to make good through thick
and thin. but rather by those who took
things as they came, watching the
drift. shaping their way from day to
day, like prudent merchants, according
10 the current.

the novice almost always comes in

Yes: the packer thought very well OF
pork--was buying 1t. in fact Thus
doubly assured the young man bought.
The market went his way. and lie
bought more Then the market turned.
The young man reviewed his convinc-
ing statistics. remembered the words OF
the packer and stood stubbornly upon
his line. When he was getting near to
the end OF his margins. he was horri-
fed to learn that his friend the packer
had shifted to the other side of the
market two weeks before. lie visited
him. recalled their conversation and
explained the situation. The packer
stared. DO you mean you've been

Gov Davis has vetoed the bill,
which passed both houses of the
legislature the first week of the
session, appropriating money
sufficient to allow each member
thirty daily newspapers and 20
cents worth of stamps daily, and
there is weeping, wailing and
gnashing Of teeth among the
legislators. In explaining why
he vetoed the bill, Gov. Davis
said that it was unconstitutional,
and that it tended to increase the
compensation Of the members Of
the assembly by the members
now in session, and that it is an
unnecessary expense. Attorney
General Murphy concurs in this
opinion. The last Legislature
spent nearly eleven Thousand
dollars for newspapers and pos
tage for the use of the members,
and the governor holds that this
money can be spent to a better
use. The governor further says
the act is a discrimination against
the country press. The Record
could never see the logic in the
state furnishing the members OF
the legislature with newspapers
and postage, and without any i'll.
feeling towards the Little Rock
dailies, we believe the governor
did the correct thing in vetoing
the bill. We will see now if the
assembly doesn't pass the meas
ure over the governors veto,
