Tightly Locked From

Not Prevent Fits.
DIR. Mile 'Nervine Cured
Ny Wife.

Dr. Miles Nefvne has been successfully
tried in thousands Of cases OF nervous disoI
ders, but neverhas il made better record thEn
when used in the treatment of fits or spasms.
Thousands Of testimonials prove this, and IN
nearly every instance the writer has stated
that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner-
vine was given. The statement is repeated
in the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having spasms or fits and | called in my
home physician and he said she was para
lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water aud
gave her caiomel and she eventually got
some better, but in a short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed for three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramp
so we could not open them and she finally
got so her jaws would become locked.
Finally ! saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered bottle of DR.. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that got soms
more. She has taken a number OF bottles
but has never had fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of DR..
Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and Is never
without them. II there is any way of max
ing this testimonial stronger do so because
of the good the DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-
inc did my wife."-WM Y. ALLEN, p. NJ,

Be Kind.

Cultivate kindness of heart
think we'll of your fellowmen' look
with charity upon the shortcom-
ings in their lives. do good turn
for them as opportunity offers, and
finally do not forget the kind woro
at the right time. How much a
word of kindness, encouragement
or appreciation means to others
some times, and how little 1T costs
us to give it
We need not wait for some
special occasion. When calamity
overtakes a friend, words of sym
pathy and encouragement are Off
cred sincerely enough. yet in Ger
cain respects as a matter of course
Such an occasion calls for express
ION on our part, and we naturally
respond. Bnt why wait for an oc-
casion? Why not speak the kind
word when there is no special oc-
casion?
In the course Of our lives there
must be many times when thought
less words are spoken by us which
wound the hearts of others. And
there are also many little occasions
when the word of cheer is needed
from us and we are silent.
There are lives of wearisome mo-
notony which word of kindness
can relieve. There is suffering
which words of sympathy can
make more endurable. And often
even in the midst of wealth and
luxury, there are those who listen
and long in vain for some express
ion of disinterested kindness.

Cheaper Pig Iron a Benefit.

The tardy reduction in pig iron
did not come quite soon enough,
and yet it is astonishing that many
people think it an unfavorable
business feature. Lower prices on
iron means a resumption of activ
ity in building operations, agri-
cultural implement manufactures
and in scores of collateral indus
tries. The fact that prices OF pig
iron and steel were forced up so
high as to cause the importation of
pig iron alone of nearly 900, 200
tons, notwithstanding the high
tariff, is a convincing demonstra-
tion of the truth of this PROPOSE
tion. This was equal to the pro-
duction of twelve furnaces, running
continuously, and producing zoo
tons a day. This raw material
cost III dch moro than it would have
cost Il manufactured il the United
States, but the pressure of con-
sumption was so great that it was
impossible to wait upon domestic
production.
The cost of building has been in
creased 30 per cent. over that of a
year ago. A part of this increase
is due to the higher cost of labor,
but the enlarged outlay on all iron
and steel products was also nota-
BILE. A concrete example of this
extra expense, due to the high
price of iron, is thus detailed by
the New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press.

The Blind Tiger in the Mountains.

The Blind Tiger" is one of the
most potent political influences In
the mountain counties in which
the sale of liquor is prohibited un-
der local option laws. In Republi-
can counties, as rule, the blind
tiger is Republican-in Demo-
cratic counties he is Democrat;
his province is to nominate or de-
feat He islands IN" with such
officers as slut their eyes to him
and his ravages, and defeats such
as he knows or fears Will drive
him out. He is both cowardly and
fierce. When the officers OF the
law ale fearless, incorruptible and
dutiful, he draws in his claws and
goes over the county line; but he
bluffs and bullies and fights when
he believes he can scare, buy or go
"cahoots" with the officers of the
law. 1t is said that in Breathitt
the blind tiger takes no pains to
hide himself; his favorite haunts
are near the highway where he is
convenient and can easily be found;
his keepers make no secret of his
ownership and everyone knows
where to find the tiger and who
owns him. 1t is believed that the
officers of the law are on his side,
and for some years no real effort
has been made TO interfere with
such blind tigers as will vote in
primaries and be reliable" at
elections.
The County Judge, the County
Attorney and the Sheriff can break
up the blind tigers; and if they do
their duty and the Circuit Judge
and Grand Juries do theirs, the
blind tiger can do no more harm
than blind kitten-it is hardly
worth drowning. If there was no
blind tiger in the mountain coun-
ties law and order would soon
reign. There are no partisan lines
here; blind tigers care nothing
about politics; they are Republi-
cans where and when it pays to be
Republican; Democratic when it is
we'll to be Democratic.-Morning
Herald.

NewsbOYs' Law Goes Into Effect

All New York newsbOys under
ii years of age began wearing
badges August g., in accordance
with the law passed by the last
Legislature. Badges were issued
only to boys between the ages of
10 and II years.
Boys under ten will not be per-
mitted to sell newspapers and boys
over fourteen can sell without
badges. The law prevents girls
under sixteen years of age from
selling newspapers, and no badges
are issued for girls.
In order to secure a badge, boy
must be a regular attendant at one
of the public schools or at pri
vate school, and must have the
consent of parent or guardian to
accept the badge and go into bust
ness. The work of distribution is
in the hands of the Association
City Superintendent of Schools,
who expects to issue more than g.
900 badges.

Farmers Combine.

A good, solid, all round trust by
the farmers of this country, for the
express purpose of keeping all the
standard crops on the farm until
the consumers need them, and dish
ing them out to the middlemen in a
way to prevent a surplus, is the
need of the time, says the New York
Farmer. This can not be done, of
course. with milk, small fruits and
some other products, but it can be
done with hops, tobacco. beans,
eggs, apples, corn, oats, rye, wheat,
buckwheat, rice, sweet pota toes and
other bookkeeping products. I'm
til this is done, the profits on agri-
culture must continue to flow into
the bank accounts of the middle
men, and not into those of the pro-
ducers. Every farmer should study
the question of selling methods, and
try to devise system of selling
that shall prevent surplus in the
market or the accumulation of the
standard crops in the hands of the
middlemen at the harvest-g ut
prices.

in gazing at the rugged features of

Peatherless Chickens.

The Agricultural Department, at
Washington City, is endeavoring to
develop race of featherless chick
ems for the warmer parts of the
country. 1t has been discovered
that the time of moulting can be
reduced from 100 days to less than
5hirty, and that moulting can thus
he gradually done away with. 1t
is suggested that feeding should
stop early in August, allowing the
chickens, for two weeks, only
enough food to sustain life, and
then stuff them with all kinds of
food. The chickens will eat so
much that inside Of a week the
feathers will be forced out the body,
leaving it naked. BY the end OF a
month they will be covered with
new down, and begin laying again.

Publicity the wisest Policy.

There has been puollsneu is'
of pardons issued bv Governor
Beckham and comparison MADE
between the pardons granted by
him during his administration ana
hy Governors Bradley and Brown
during their respective administra
tions. The Louisville Herald, the
Evening Post, and perhaps other
anti Beckham newspapers allege
that this list is defective, and print
the names Of certain convicts who
have been pardoned by Governor
Beckham. 1t is also charged that
this list is defective in not includ-
ing several classes of pardons, and
that from it are also omitted the
names of those convicts who nave
been paroled by the Prison C"m-
mission during the present admin
istration. For these paroles Gov
ernor Beckham is not officially re-
sponsihle, nor is he personally re-
sponsible unless il may be IN some
few special cases. And it is not
fair to charge either him or his
associates on the ticket with these
paroles. We were earnestly oppos-
ed to the Prison Commission act,
and we have regarded the decision
of the Court of Appeals affirming
its constitutionality as the most
Iamentable judicial opinion in our
judicial history. 1t practically
formed an amt ndment, and most
mischievous amendment, to our
constitution and introduced new
form of government in Kentucky
government by legislative com.
missions-an irresponsible, despot
ic, expensive and ultimately cor
rupt form of government. But
Governor Beckham is not RESPONSE
BILE for the management of our pen
itentiaries under this commission
The members are elected bv the
Legis lature-not appointed by the
Governor-and he has no control
over their paroles.
But omissions from the lists of
those pardoned by Governor Beck
ham will necessarily injure him.
1t is due to him far more than to
any other person that this list be
full and accurate. Nor viii ii 10
to omit pardons granted for alleged
misdemeanors or pardons granted
before conviction or any other class
of pardons. Perhaps the most SER
ious and hurtful charge against
Governor Beckham in relation to
his use of the pardoning power is
concerning misdemeanors, and al
legged promises to pardon even be-
fore indictments were returned
We. respectfully submit to those
friends of Gov. Beckham who are
preparing these lists and making
the argument that he has pardoned
fewer convicts than his two pre-
decessors, that the number of par
dons is of quite immaterial impor-
lance; the character and nature of
the crime, the testimony against
the convicted, the peculiar circum-
stances of each case and the object
to accomplish by the pardon-these
are of Importance.
In every aspect of this matter
the utmost publicity and unlimited
candor and accuracy will be found
to be the wisest policy.-Morning
Herald.

Russian Peasant Women.

By a newly enacted Russian law a
peasants wife, on showing to the dis
trict Judge of instruction that she is
habitually i'll treated by her husband
or that he will not support her and
makes her the drudge for his own sup
port. can demand a separate passport,
with which she is at liberty to leave
her oppressor and earn a living else
where. Hitherto there was no posi-
BILE redress or release for the long suf-
fering victim so long as it was obliga-
tory that the wife's name was entered
in the husbands passport and papers
of legitimation. Any one at all init
mately acquainted with village life in
Russia will readily appreciate the re-
lief this brings to tens of thousands of
peasant women who are the grievously
abused domestic slaves and beasts of
burden to their drunken and brutal
conjugal proprietors.-An glo-Russian

There is danger of making pulpit

clank chains at a telling juncture in
the discourse. In the panic which en-
sued many were injured. and the
