A busy man in a neighboring
town went TO church last Sunday.
Not many Of the large congrega-
ton knew that he was In the house.
He found a seat behind a winter
hat on the head of an averaged
sized woman. The hat vas full
grown and so was the wesrer, and
he could see neither preacher nor
choir. The hat was pretty as
winter hats usually are, but he
did not go to church to look at one
hat for a entire hour and was not
very much benefited or very much
pleased with his part Of the wor-
ship. 1t may be necessary and
proper and devotional to wear hats
as large as buggy tops to church
but we doubt It.

The people OF this country are
receiving a good lesson on roads
just now. The roads are so muddy
that 1t Ii almost impossible to
haul empty wagons owe some of
them. Tho lesson to be learned is
that such conditions will always
exist unless more money Is spent
on the roads. II the county court
would buy n rock crushcr and let
the money that Is yearly wasted In
the road districts be put into rock
roads In a few years we would see
a wonderful improvement in the
roads Of the county.

Loafing as n Business.

Loafcrs are often condemned Tor
always being in the way Of other
peoples business. But the follow
ing from m exchange suggests
that one Of Its patrons Is up against
IL. Hear his grevicnces:
| am sorry Mr.. St to have
lost you from my list of customers
but I must say that ! cannot blame
you. You and your family have
been driven from my store by n
squad OF the most abominablc
loafcrs that ever afflicted a place
OF business with their almost con-
slant presence. have lost other
valuable customers by the same
plaques. Why chairs In my place
designed for the accommodation OF
ladies are rarely available when
needed for n lady. The loafers
come early and stay late. Their
presence has become n daily
nuisance. They grab the chairs
and form around the stove, and
they are sometimes offended II n
barrel or n box Is rolled too near
them. When We have to go to
the far end Of the store, II we want
to make haste, VIC go and return
behind the counter. But to con-
vcy customers by this route Is too
much for me. When n lady or
child comes In on a cold day when
snow or slcct Is falling, | would
like to invite her to n chair by the
stove but there Ii no Don there
for n lady by that stove. A glance
In that direction would display to
her a circle OF the loafors, with
eight or twelve boots and shoes
sized by like numbers, and from
them, cminating variously dever-
sihcd odors reminding one OF dis
tan. horse stables, COW yards
and hen roosts, and cvincing need
Of a boot and shoe washing and
n foot disinfecting. II Is n sweet
relief to me when they go away
late In the evening or night. To
say nothing OF their silly con.
v~crsation, and mean gossip. Nc
wonder | have lost trade. | shall
lose more II there isn't n change
They must quit or | must clos,
out. Then their filth, better wasl
after 80 many ducks.

Director Charles D. Walcott, of the United States geological survey has estimated that the anthracite coal mines will continue to produce suffic- tent coal to supply the demand for the next POO years before they are prac- tically exhausted. The estimated ag- gregate tonnage in these beds, includ- ing that already removed, is placed at l9, ,5O7, ,S72, 325 tons, of which during the past eighty-three years 1925, ,5Sl,- 279 tons have been mined. The pro- duction of 1901, when conditions were practically undisturbed, was 57, ,367, 1915 tons. At this rate of extraction, the mines would continue to produce for about three centuries longer. The in- crease in extraction from 1890 to 1900 was about P per cent. The anthracite coal averages larger tonnage per square mile than the bituminous mines, owing to the greater average thickness of the veins of the former.

The argument against tariff revision made by Secretary Shaw is forceful one. He says that "the employer of labor may be so shOrt-sighted as to believe that period of low wages would be to his advantage because he would be thus able to place his pro- duct on the market at less cost. Or he may be so far-sighted as to know that high wages will increase the consump- tive capacity of those whose needs he sr-olies and will therefore improve his market" He further says that the democratic party has always appealed to the consumer with the cry of cheap markets, which would mean low wages. The republican party has stood for high wages and high prices. The re- publican policy has invariably result ed in prolonged periods of prosperity, the democratic policy in extended periods of depression.

The new immigration law is already producing an improvement in the class of immigrants coming to this country. While not as far reaching as if it had contained the educational clause, it makes it dangerous for steamship companies to bring over undesirable people with the liability of losing all profit by having to take considerable per centage back and this operates to make the transportation companies more careful.

Danger Of Colds and Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these dis eases we have yet to learn of single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure cold or an at tack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all drug gists.

A surprising and gratifying increase in the trade of this country with South Africa is revealed by report just placed in the hands of Secretary Shaw. This report shows that exports from the United States to Africa have grown from $5, 900, 900 in 1892 to S33.- 900, 900 in 1902, and in the first seven months of the fiscal year 1903 exports to that quarter were nearly 5000, 900 in excess of those for the same period of the year before. The chief of the bureau of statistics says the trade with Africa even promises to prove even more valuable than that with South America, the figures showing that while the South American con- sumption of American products in- creased $5,OOO,O % in ten years the Afri- can consumption has increased s29,- 900, 900 in the same period.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov 4.-There was a slight
increase OF rate Of activity in traulng in
stocks this morning. with some show Of
strength, but neither lasted the day out.
The market has fallen back into a pro-
fessional rut by the afternoon and the
rule of prices was quite below the Mon
day closing.
The professionals, who had the market
to themselves. bid up prices in the morn
ing, in the hope that some outside de-
mand wound be attracted by the engage
ments of gold for import Their idea
was that possibly buying had been re-
strained on Monday owing to the tendency
OF the holiday. The stocks of the New
York corporations also shot up this morn
ing under operations by professional
traders who based their trades action
on the basis of possible results OF yes
terday's election. The opening advance
was in part. manipulated, as was shown
by the free selling to realize. The move
ment in these stocks dates back to last
week. when there was light accumula-
ton based on the coming election.
A batch of fairly favorable railroad
earnings had some effect in helping the
opening advance, but the railroads were
a minor feature in the market all day.
The checks to the advance began in the
United States Steel securities Both the
common and preferred stocks sagged
to within a small fraction of the previous
low record. The bonds also weakened
and lost points on the early advance
The cause OF the weakness and the source
of the selling were not very clear, but
much of the selling was attributed to
London account and gave rise TO some
rumors of financial troubles in London,
which were not verified.
The reported intention of iron manu-
facturers to cut the price of pig iron still
further had depressing effect in the
iron and steel group. 1t is feared that
such a cut may be followed BY reduc-
ticn in the prices of finished shapes. Cur
rent reports Of conditions in the trade
were very discouraging. and new orders
were said to be at the minimum
The downward course Of sterling ex-
change was halted and the price of gold
was marked up in London. Money was
reported in good supply there, however,
leaving open the question of an advanced
rate tomorrow, which would be otherwise
The outgo was large, the total of sl'loe.-
600 being made up of 100000 shipment
to New Orleans and 100000 to Chicago
At this rate Of outgo further import
of gold will be looked to as an offset
The announcement that one of the
smaller trust companies in St Louis has
decided 10 go into iiquida ton was without
effect in the early market. and the dis
turbed conditions on the isthmus OF Pan
anna also seemed to be ignored. The
market closed dull and heavy.
The early evidence OF firmness in the
bond market gave place to a heavy tone
Total sales. par value. s2,5S5,o0O United
States threes and the old tours declined
u per cent on the last call.
