BRITON LIKES OUR METHODS.

Chicago, May 2S-Cspt. wyndham,
British consul at Chicago, in his an
nual report just issued gays:
MANY American houses are plan
ming to extend their export trade.
With their increased manufacturing
capacity we may look for them to fur
nish keen competition in the United
Kingdom and its colonies, as well as
in foreign countries.
Among the hints contained in the
report is the advice to the English
merchant that the careful study of the
business aud manufacturing methods
Of the United States and the adoption
of those which may be suitable to the
country where trade is sought is of
great importance and should be en-
oouraged.
Statistics are presented to show that
British. trade in America is at . stand
still, while the imports from other
European countries have increased.
The report also refers to the enor-
mons amount srent BY merchants for
newspaper advertising and praises the
results obtained. asserting That some
concerns have doubled their business

Renewed Nervous Energy, Pure Blood Freedom From Pain
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
THE ONE REMEDY THAT WILL
REALLY MAKEYOU WELL.

Years ago when q great public de-
mand arose for remedy for nervous
ailments as well as a reliable blood
purifier DR.. Edward Z. Phelps, pro-
fessor of materia medica and medical
botany Of Dartmouth medical college,
gave to diseased and suffering men
and women his great discovery,
Paine's Celery Compound. The sue
cess of this wonderful prescription has
been phenomenal. No other remedy
known to medical science enjoys such
a widespread reputation today.
In this month Of May when so many
are sick Paine's Celery Compound
makes people well. 1t is the one true
specific prescribed by eminent prscti-
tioners for diseases arising from a de.
bilitsted nervous system; it is posi-.
tive cure for sleeplessness, wasting
strength, rheumatism. neuralgis, dys.
pepsia, liver and kidney troubles. and

WHAT THE WOMEN CAN DO.

If the city officials do not keep tine
town clean and healthful. the ladies
might take a hand, as they did in Lou
jsyiile when broom brigade cleaned
4 block to teach the officials lesson,
and accidentally to get rid Of the dust
so thew could have clean homes. They
are being war; tly commended. The
Louisville Herald s''>ys;
1.-THE courageous wo.' aen who struck
for the health and elsanln'ss OF their
homes on Wednesday are turned int
street cleaners by ths negligence and
incapacity Of the city administration,
which seems to be animated BY an idea
that political power is for graft and
politics, and not for the direction of
efficient city government.
Unless something is done to divert the
mass Of taxes from sxtrayagance and
graft into economical expenditure for
the public comfort and conscienoer it
may be expected that more women and
private citizens every where shall per,
sonally have to do the work they pay
high taxes to have performed for them.
Perhaps If the women who live on
asphalt and brick streets made it
point to parade every morning with
mops, soap and water TO wash off'the
street while his honor the mayor strobe
proudly TO his office, they might i'm
press upon him the annoyance from
which they are suffering through neg
lect of street cleaning"

The Metropolis Herald does not un.
derstand why the country can be so
prosperous and yet there be so many
strikes. 1t seems very simple. Dur
ing prosperity there is demand for
work, and workingmen can get more
for their work. II they strike and get
left in one place they can easily 90 to
some other. In hard -times men are
glad to get work at almost any price,
and consequently cannot afford to
strike. In prosperous times they can
afford to strike, because there are
many places they can get work; dur
ing hard times they are fortunate to
get work anywhere st any price. The
trusts haveinothing to 40 with strikes.
Trusts would have . tendency to stop
them, instead of cause them, as 1t is
claimed combines enable mandatory
to operate with less men than the origi-
nal factories. and the more men there
are out Of work and clamoring for it,
the less probability is there of strike.

After an attack of grip I found

use was discontinued after had fin.

A lot of fellows are wondering IL
Attorney Lovett, of Benton, is going
to let few two-by-four politicians in

fraud, is hard to figure out.

The supreme court has decided that
pedestrians have as much right to the
streets as drivers of vehicles, but one
would not think so when he goes down
town and has to constantly dodge,
duck, scramble and run to keep from
being run over by brewery, grocery,

one by their recklessness and the peo-

DOESN'T RAIL AT RAILROADS
Senator Psrdons Much, Remembering
What Father Endured.


There is senator in the General

Of them consecutively.
The reason that Mfr. Wilson never
complains OF late trains is that his
father. the Hon. A. NJ. Wilson, who is
still living. was a member OF the Ar.
kansas Senate before the day OF rail-
roads. and his stories OF the hardships
Of traveI In the olden time have I'm.
bued his son with the more practical
idea that II is better to have a bad
train than no train at all.
Mr.. Wilson. Sr., was a member OF
the Senate from Washington county
in ls4s. twelve years after Arkansas
was given statehood. There were no
means of travel then Except in a few
stage lines between principal points,
but horseback. Washington county is
about 200 miles from Little Rock. lying
about midway between Fort Smith and
the Missouri line, and bordering ON
the Territory.

Of the early laws Of the state. he rode

had presented certain deductions that
invited the serious thought of every
physician in the country.

POULTRY POINTERS,

The best way to feed corn to young
chickens is cracked or crushed.
A good dust bath will go far toward
keeping fowls in good condition.
Clear, raw corn meal wet with water
is not good feed for young ducklings
at any time.
Destroy the nest of a sitting hen as
soon as the chickens are a day old.
Give her new nest and burn the old
one.
Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least
25 per cent more for use titan if al
lowed to run with lot of cockerels.
On the farm if more than one breed
is kept it is necessary that they be
kept separate, and one or the other
must be kept confined part Of the time
1t is important to keep the young
turkeys dry until they are about eight
weeks old, md even then they should
be strong and we'll developed. Damp
ness is almost always fatal to young
turkeys.

SAFE OPENING TOOLS.

eve have tools for opening safes,"
said the foreman of the machine room
Of a safe factory, "that no burglar
could initiate even if he got them. But
1t would be one of the most difficult
things in the world for him to get even
! sight of them. The tool room is
guarded as closely as bank vault. A
Waterman stays in it all night We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must give bonds and have the
best Of references. The chance of a
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about
Every frequently we have hurry calls
for a man to open a safe where the
time clock has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
You can readily imagine that with
bank or trust company it is an essen
tial thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send
man out he takes wagon load of tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
Ing the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble is. He carries
photograph Of himself with our Gre
lentials on it. Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter how
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberies have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
"To mechanics in our business it is
laughable to read that a full kit of bur-
glars tools has been found beside
safe. AS I have said, it would require
nm express wagon to carry them, and
burglars don't work that way. If they
care to take chances by blowing up Il
safe with dynamite it is another mat
ter; but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks
are all spotted and are afraid to go out
and buy the material for them. Some
Of them send their wives and children"
