MAIDS EvASivE ANSWER.
Her Employer Was Busy and Could Not Receive Callers-What
 She Told Them

Strange as it may seem, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, there is a public man in this city who is blessed or cursed with a tender conscience that worries him in small matters as we'll as in great. Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding a servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive many visitors who call upon him, and his only resource was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occa. sion suJh instructions were given to maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.
 "Then Pm to be saying, sir, that you're not at homer the maid in. quired.
 "No, Mary, mop was the reply; "that would not be true. If any. one should ask for me, you must just put him off-give him some evasive answer, you know"
 "I'll do it, sir, never fear," was the maids reply. Mary was as good as her word.
 That afternoon a person of i'm. portance made his appearance. and was duly sent away. Tho faithful maid reported the cir. cumstance to her employer.
 "What did you do, Mary?" in. qufred the latter, with some trep- idation.
 "Oh, I just put him of, sir as you told me. I gave him an evasive answer"
 "Yes, but what did you say to him?"
 "Oh, sure he axed me If the boss was at home, and I said to him: Was his grandmother a mon. key?'"

4 WORD OF COMFORT
 To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, in. cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgia troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi- cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and it is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, inhamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obsti- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and fl. .oo bottles. Write for book of testimo- nials, sent free. The Paracamph Company To,,isvi1le Kv IT. S. A.

showing calls attention to the fact
that the great west and northwest is
becoming an important factor in the
financial condition of the country. It
is conceded in financial circles that
had it not been for the assistance of
the western banks last September,
many of the eastern banks would
have gone to the wall. In that crisis
the western banks sent millions of
dollars to New York City, and this
enabled the eastern banks to tide
over the depression.
The loans and discounts in the
North Dakota national banks, accord
ing to the report just issued, amount
ed to $1e, 1926, $50. IS. The amount
due these banks from their reese rye

candidates for county judge, three or
four for county attorney, two for

Tine democratic press of the country
is much agitated over the methods of
the Chicago convention, and ''view
with alarm the fact that the con.
vention had nothing to do when it
assembled except formally ratify the
selection of the people for the greatest
Offices within the gift of the Ameri-
can voters. Like everything else
which comes from the democratic
press on matters of national impor.
lance, this cry is proof positive of
political impecility. The Chicago
convention was the greatest in the
history Of the republican party, with
all the history making convent ons
which it has had. It did not suit the
democratic convention idea, it is
true. 1t could have been dispensed
with so tal as its selection was con-
cerned, and the people would just S
we'll have known the choice of the
party. The conventions work was
merely. to place before the public the
already chosen candidates in the ac.
cepted party names, Contrast with
this the convention of eight years ago

by passion and excitement, devoid of
common judgment, shouted itself
hoarse until spell binder with far
more ability in bis mouth than in his
brains, struck chord which set the
delegates wild with excitement and
permitted catch Jenny phrase to
nominate candidate for the greatest
Office in the world. Delegates went
to that convention as they have gone
to ST. Louis, no more knowing the
wish Of the democratic party of the
nation than they know the mysteries
of the shrines OF the sacred city Of
Tibet 1t would seem that in mat
ter of such moment as the selection of
the Chief executive of great nation
that cool and deliberate judgme Mt
should guide those Z to whom the task
of selection had been intrusted. Such
was the Chicago convention of last
week. Such, in fact, have Teen all
the conventions Of the party. Once
in its history the stormy passions
seemed likely rs control the action
of the delegates, when Garfield arose
in the Chic delegation and made the
memorable speech in which he said
it was not from the top of tae ocean
waves during a storm that all heights
and depths were measured, but from
the calm, serene bosom of an unsurg-
ing sea, ana pleaded that this might
be the case in the selection of candi.

frenzies into which the delegates had
wrought themselves, TO the plea for
