Colonel Bryan has built a barn costing
$1,000. This indicates a reliance on good

much good as plenty OF silver.

Probably the most sumptuous smoking
rooms in this country are those which the
government has provided for the members
Of the house OF representatives in the rear
Of Representatives hall. The chairs are
luxurious affairs. upholstered in bun
leather, while the couches and sofas are OF
the same material. The rugs and pictures
are as fine as those found in any Of the
public buildings and here the members re-
tire and smoke and gossip and yet are able
to keep track Of h is going on in the
house through the wide, swinging glass
doors. There Is but one rule in the smok-
ing rooms, n it applies to that used by
the democrats as we'll as that OF the repub-
licans. 1t hangs in the center of the wall
Of each and reads: Strangers and cigar
cites not permitted in this room" The rule
is r%eligiously obeyed. although nobody
seems tot know who first promulgated 1t.
The most atrocious cabbage cigar is per-
mitted to exhaust itself, but the finest
Turkish cigarette is not tolerated for an
instant. Recently Congressman Joy of Mis-
souri,, who is a confirmed consumer Of paper
pipes, inadvertently lighted one in the re-
publican smoking room. Before he had
taken a second Whit several of the mem
bers ordered an assistant sergeant-at-arms
to read the rules to him. Mr.. Joy dropped
his cigarette and made his way to the house

Newspaper Don ts.

Don t discontinue a newspaper until you have squared up with it.
 Don't abuse a paper unless you pay for it. Borrowers are great est fault finders newspaper has to contend with.
 Don't get mad if your visitors name does not appear in the per- sonal column. Perhaps you did not tell the editor, and he is no mind reader.
 Don't delay paying your sub scription because 1t is a small mat ter. If all the subscribers did the same thing it would kill the paper in six months.
 Don't cuss the editor because his opinions do not conform with yours. If they did he might be al variance with some eight or ten million people.
 Don't abuse paper if it choose to print something you do not con- sider worth reading. Those who read your part of the paper may consider it pure rot. A paper is built to please many, not one.
 Don't take a paper out of tho post office for five years and ther refuse to pay for it, because you never subscribed for it anyhow You could have refused it foul years and eleven months ago. Exchange.

 Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and l called in my home physician and he said she was para Hzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her ealomel 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 l saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles Re storative NervIne. She received so much benefit from tn. first bottle that got some more She has taken number of bottles but has never had ht since taking the first dose She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them.

WORLD ALMANAC.

The New York World Almanac is in
dispensable in every well regulated
newspaper office. In all it stands on a
level with the dictionary, the encyclo-
pedia, the concordance, the book Of
quotations, the book Of synonyms and
the directory. 1t is getting so that al
most every business house has a copy
The offices of all up-to-date profess
sional men have OF have it, and in a
great many homes the World Almanac
is a necessity. It's, circulation is enor-
NOUS. 1t is deserved. 1t is the most
complete book ofHthe kind ever COM
piled. There is almost nothing one
wants to know that it cannot tell.
The World Almanac for 1903 COM
prises COS pages. Statistical news of all
kinds, political, religious, sporting geo.
graphical, astronomical. scientific and
historical is furnished in abundance.
It's thoroughness, its systematic ar
rangement, the accessibility of all that
it contains-these are the characters
tics which have made it popular, and
its editor adds something to it every
year and improves 1t in some particular
after 1t seems as though he had at
tanned perfection. tt is as wonderful a
compilation as it is useful.
