Concerning aseuline Beauty

ladrniring relatives and friend would

of the press draw fale moral from
/! that spurued beauty. For the consola-
ton OF the ugly. the deprived as the
Italians say these undoubtedly hand
some moralists tel! us that beauty is
only skin deep and that divers great
men have been homeiy enough to stop
the Straspurg clock:
What is the blooming tincture of the

To peace OF mind and harmony with
in?
What a sweet satisfaction and COM
pensation it is to feel that those of us
who are ont handsome are full of either
goodness or brainsi But the real reason
why the Vienna exhibition OF Prince
Charmings did not draw is that
handsome men are so common that Il
congress OF handsome men stirs no
more interest than n congress OF Jer-
seymen would, whereas, a congress of
homely men would positively turn
money away from the door. The So
briefly of mems dress marks their sense
of their sufficient beauty. They know
they need no adornment. The enthu-
siasts who introduced this summer
radiant coat, sort of Japanese Mmono

welcome Men are too splendid to
wear splendid clothes.

What Congress Did.

The congress which recently closed
completing the one hundred and four
teenth year of federal legislation, has
to its credit some good work; yet it
closed amid public dissatisfaction.
with a special session of the senate
necessary to repair its greater sins
of omission.
The congress began wei. In its
first session it framed two acts of
epoch-making mportance-that au-
thoriZing the isthmian canal and the
irrigation law-besides minor meas
ures such as the repeal of war tax
alton, the Philippine civil government
act, the national bank extension law
and the creation of a permanent CEN
sus bureau. But the pace was not
sustained.
The most important action of the
session was the creation of the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
whose bureau of corporations may,
under energetic management. some
what curb the dad trusts" The FL
kins anti-rebate act may also prove
useful: but the Littlefield bill, the one
measure that proffered certain re-
suits, has fallen by the wayside.
The removal for one year of the
coal tariff which will proba bly,
never be reimposed-is as the New
York World observes welcome in
stallment of common sense, but no
other step followed it toward the abo-
lition of hundred other tariff absur-
dities.
In its vast appropriations for ma
val aggrandizement and in many 9TH
er directions the congress has shown
the baneful influence upon reckless
Expenditure of an overrunning treas
ury. As the wo-Billion-Dollar Con-
gress'' it is destined to be disagree
ably famous.
The sessions close marks the fail
ure of government by "a majority of
the majority" in the senate. The
steering committee" is found want
| ing. Common sense procedure in the
upper house, better leadership in the
lower, might have saved the Fifty
seventh congress, fortunate in its
opening, from perishing in ill-repute
and unlamented.

Miss Florence Lindley, school
teacher of Brown county. Kan, years
ago made up her mind that there
were great possibilities in the Indian
Territory. So she saved her salary
and bought ~ lots in the little town
of Sapulpa, paying the Indian owner
tritie under 81 for earch lot. The
Indian rued his action and when the
court house and many real estate re-
cords were burned not long ago he
brought suit, claiming the young wo-
man never had paid him. At the trial
after he had testified under oath, that
the land was not paid for, Miss Lind
ley brought forth his receipt for the
amount in full. which she had pre-
served. The Indian is on trial for per-
jury. The town lots in question are
valued at not less than $4,000.

The Decadence ofDixie.

An incident has recently occurred
at Nashville, Tenn. which has shocked
every state south of Mason and Dix
on's line. The city was entertaining
company of foreign born Americans
from Milwaukee and Chicago. Follow
ing bountiful inner, songs of all
nations were proposed. The Germans
sand their national airs, and the
whole company. joined in MY Coun-
try. 'Tis of Thee Then some one
called for Dixie. There was hesita-
ton for a moment, one southerner
looked to another to lead in the song.
Finally one or two started the south
ern war lyric of forty years ago, but
after few lines they were compelled
to admit that they did not know the
words. In a southern city q southern
company with shame and mortifica-
tion confessed that Dixie had fall
Ell into disuse.
John Temple Graves, the orator
who recently lectured in Quincy, has
tSsued a clarion call to the south.
One of two things is paramount
duty. Either Dixie" must be de-
clared to be a piece of band music.

The stomach is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health and
strength cannot be restored to any
sick man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to
the stomach. A weak stomach can
not digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and run
down limbs and organs of the body.

Secretary Cortelyou is one of the
few remaining men in public life who
affects the pompadour style of brush
ing his hair. Fifteen or eighteen
years ago it seemed as if all man
kind had the pompadour craze. When
"Pompadour Jim came on the stage
every sport that was a sport wore his
bristles rampant. The style is very
becoming to Cortelyou. 1t enables
him in serious reflection to run his
fingers harrowlike over his head with
out disturbing its contour.

NO COSTS UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Made by T. III. Thomas to All
Sufferers From Catarrh.

OAIdErHs
T. H. Thomas is selling Hyomei on
a plan that has caused considerable
talk among his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the
remedy itself is different also This
treatment for the cure of eatarrh
has such an unusual record of cures
to its credit that Il. II. Thomas offers
to refund the money if it does not
give the desired benefit. This is GER
tainly one of the fairest offers that
can be made, and anyone who has ca
tarrh and does not take advantage of
it is doing himself or herself an in
justice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket, a medicine dropper and
a bottle of Hyomei. The complete
treatment costs but 81, and as the
inhaler will last life time and there
is sufficient Hyomei for more than a
months use, the medicine is very in
expensive. Many people who have
used it write that for the good Hyo-
mel has done them they would will
ingly pay thousands of dollars.
Extra bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for use with the inhaler at
so cents.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, irrita ting, burning,
eye-watering TROUBLES that affiict
those who have catarrh. Hyomei will
cure you, but if you should not find
it adapted to your case, T. II. Thomas
will return your money.
