also, IT has been found good politics to
name a man who has achieved little po-
litical distinction and is a comparative
newcomer. The seVerest criticism that
can be launched against such a candi-
date is his obscurity, and that may
prove less damaging than would the
reiteration of his we'll known weak
nesses. In a land such as this the per-
sonal element cuts a most conspicuous
figure in the presidential campaign.
Though a man may be an unknown at
it's beginning, he is certain to be pro-
vided with a reputation at it's close.
Occasionally the nomination is con-
ferred as a consolation prize. In such
instances, though the disappointment
may have been cruel indeed, it is not a
matter of record that destinations have
been frequent. 1t may be observed,
also, that there is an impression of
more or less general acceptation that
the Office is really of no remarkable sig
Internationally worthy, in fact, of the
consideration of man of especial note.
Men of national prominence have made
d show of lodging it. Once named by
either of the great parties, however,
refusals have been extremely rare.

seminary and De PAW university
While still very young he exhibited
a budding passion for politics, and
the genuineness of the vocation has
been demonstrated by a half century of
political successes. In 1858 he reported

Keeps Money at Home.

One often hears a merchant
making a kick at people sending
to Sears, Roebuck & Co. for goods
that can I've bought right here at
home for the same money. We
lave no sympathy for the prac-
tice OF sending money away from
home, but as long as our merch-
ants refuse to advertise their
wares, that long will money go to
Chicago instead of Sterling.
Sears, Roebuck q Co. and other
like concerns, advertise what they
have to sell and consequently they
sell goods right under the very
nose of the merchant who lives
two thousand miles away. Who
would have ever heard of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. if they had
not advertised their goods in all
the land? These Chicago people
Know that people read advertise
ments, and know very well that
the average country merchant is
Il small advertiser, therefore they
send advertisements to the people
who should be the patrons of the
home merchant who does not adj
vertise, and consequently get the
cream of the trade. We venture
to say that ninety per cent of the
families in this town have n 5. f,
r. e Co. or a NJ. w. & Co. cata-
logue, and buy more or less goods
from them. The trouble with
you, brother merchant, is that
you don't advertise and the other
fellow does. You cannot do
business without it.-Sterling

Grip Quickly Knocked OCT.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my
self contracted severe colds which
speedily developed into the worst kind
of la grippe with all of its miserable
symptoms" says Mr.. j. S. Egleston
of Maple Landing, Iowa. "Knees and
joints aching, muscles sore, head
stopped up, eyes and nose running,
with alternate spells of chills and
fever. We began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, aiding the same with
a dose of Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use
soon completely knocked out the
grip" These Tablets promote a heal
thy action of the bowels, liver and
kidneys which is always beneficial
when the system is congested by cold
or an attack of the grip. For sale by

Where There is Prohibition.

A Houston Post correspondent
at Temple says that on Monday
morning last twenty penitents
confronted the mayor in city
court to answer charges of drunk
enness. He adds land what
makes the matter more interest
ing is the fact that this is a pro-
hihition town and theoretically
drunkenness should not exist. :"
Just how, he theories, that
drunkenness should not exist in u
town where the zeal of the people
for the, laws enforcement has
been lulled to sleep by n failure
to enforce the same, is more than
we can understand. For several
months after local option went
into effect the people endeavored
TO back up the officers in its en-
forcement, but they soon tire of
the task when their zeal for the
laws enforcement had been spent,
the whiskey element resumes
operation without opposition.-

A Runaway.

Saturday afternoon a serious
runaway occurred Mt the bridge
one mile south of San Angelo.
A wagon loaded with hay and
drawn bv two horses, all belonging
to J J. Rhodes. were thrown to
the bottom of the incline OH this
side of the bridge.
1t fortunately happened that
the drivers. Alonzo Millett and
Barber Childs, were walking on
either side of the wagon As the
team neared the descent they went
faster and faster until the lines
we're ierked from the boys hands.
At the bend in the incline the
horses turned too quickly upset
ting the entire outfit with the re-
suit that the under horse, fine
mare recently purchased by MIR

SAN ANGELO, TEXAS.

pEA.N A.NN'Isl-'' lIA-N 49,
Dear Sir: st costs as much to put
on poor paint as good"-a common
saying and true--it costs much more
to put on poor paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or
paint and sand or paint and lime or
paint and chalk or paint and benzine
or paint and water: these are the usual
cheats: there are others.
1t takes more gallons of paint and a
cheat than of honest paint and the
cost of the labor OF painting is so
much a gallon--one gallon costs as
much as another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next year:
Paint Devoe, and next year costs
nothing; year after next the same; the
same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint
with. Some of the mixtures wear one
year; some two: some three.
1t costs twice, three times, -four
times, five times, as much to paint
with cheat as to pain. with Devoe,
Yours truly,
