THURSDAY, JULY %, 1904

There has always been a place
for the country newspaper that
no 'other jurnal can fill; time
was when the metropolitan pa,
pers welded the political in
fuence of the country; that was
when men argued from their be-
lief and were not subject to in
tluences of parties, men and mo
nopolies; but today many of
them have sidetracked and used
abuse instead of argument, for
political reasons. They don't
give the truth they once did and
the people have lost confidence
in them have gone to the home
paper for the correct political
news-to the editor they are
personally acquainted with and
in whom they have implicit con
tidence, Hardin News.

THE Two Candidates.

AS between the candidates
the issue could not have been
moIe finely stated than by Mr..
Littleton in his speech for
Judge Parker.
New York comes with "a
man who puts against the siren
uous sword play of a swagger-
ing administration. a simple
faith in all the perfect power of
the constitution; a man who
puts against an executive re-
public the virtue of a constitu-
tional republic; a man who puts
against executive usurpatiou
knowledge of and a deep love
for the poise rnd balance of its
three great powers; a man who
puts against the stealthy hunt
with big stick a faithful OBJ
servance of constitutional re-
straints."
The two candidates are
pretty we'll interpreted in this
passage. The antithesis no man
can fail to see and appreciate
at it's true value. The voters
of this country have now a
chance to decide between the
lofty, unselfish constitution In
patriotism OF Washington. JEFF
fersou and Lincoln, and the
boasting, threatening patriot
ism of Theodore Roosevelt.

Deafness CANNOT De Cnred

by applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ofthe ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumblingsound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Long standing as a type of monument

cold commonplace Of the market be-
fore the decade is gone. A man in
Colorado named Spencer has deyel-
oped the seedless apple and has 1000
such trees ready to put on the mar
ket. After the seedless orange and
the seedless lemon this news was to
be expected in due course. Spencer
will no doubt reap a fortune from his
ingenuity, but in proportion to the
spread of his new variety of fruit trees
will be the reprobation which will

be without the pink tinted beauty OF

the apple seed we must lose the most
beautiful Towering trees that grow,

appendicitis and of the diseases which
Spencer says come from moth eggs

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Those who have the most happi-
ness think the least about it. But in
thinking about and in doing their duty
happiness comes because the heart
and mind are occupied with earnest
thought that touches at thousand
points, the beautiful and sublime real
tiles of the uniyerse.-Thackeray.
The soul of man does violence to it.
self when it is overpowered by pleas
ure or by pain, when it plays a part
and does or says anything insincerely
and untruly, when it allows any act Of
its own and any movement to be with
out an aim, and does anything thought
iessly and without considering what it
is, it being right that even the small
est thing be done with reference to an
end.-Marcus Aurelius.
To be famous depends upon some
fortuities, to be rich depends upon
birth or luck, to be Intellectually emil
nent may depend on the appointment
OF Providence; but to be man, in the
sense of substance, depends solely on
ones own noble ambition and determi-
nation to live in contact with Gods
open atmosphere of truth and right
from which all true manliness is in
spired and fed.-T. S. King.
Unfailing courtesy, kindness, tender
ness and consideration for others are
some of the greatest ornaments to the
character of the child of God. The
world can understand these things, if
1t cannot understand doctrine There
is no religion in rudeness, roughness,
bluntness and incivility. The perfec-
ton OF practical religion consists in at
tending to the little duties of holiness
as we'll as to the great. c. Ryle.
Keep the sunshine of living faith in
the heart. Do not let the shadow of
Encouragement and dependency fall
upon your path. However weary you
may be, promises of God will, like the
stars at night never cease to shine. to
cheer and to strengthen. The best
harvests are the longest in ripening.
1t is not pleasant to work in the earth

which, when it gets on a very long
voyage, does not come home laden SO

will bring you Goals, or such like or

to Tarshish return with gold and ivory.
Coasttng prayers, such as we pray ey-
cry day bring us many necessaries;
but there are great prayers which, like
the old Spanish galIeons, cross the
main ocean and are longer out Of

Would that it were possible for the

existence, must hold in scorn the fee

CUSTOM OF PARLIAMENT.
How Strangers Sometime Wander
Within Sacred Precincts.


The stranger within the parliament
tary gate Cat Westminster continues
periodically to excite a good deal OF
interest.
The elective chamber resembles Vlr-
gil's Ayernus in that there are many
easy and different approaches to it,
and that night and days it's portals,
at least, are open to the crowd. In
authorized entrants may, therefore,
now and then eludc the most sphynx'
eyed of doorkeepers. Never in my
time has the casual invader actually
voted in division.
| have repeatedly seen strangers
from Westminster hall, mixed up in
a little group of M. P.'s, pass unchal-
lenged through the lobby, then in
PRODUCING themselves to the interior,
find sitting-room below the gangway
for time. The moment of detec-
ton and election, sooner or later, in
Variably comes.
In 1876 two strayed revelers from
the licensed victualers' dinner table
walked in unnoticed, perhaps even
not quite conscious, and sat down not
far from the sergeant-at-arms within
three feet of so sympathetic neigh
Dor as the great teetotaler, Sir Wilfrid
Lawson himself; they remained there
nearly half an hour
They might have stayed longer Lad
not one of them caused his companion
to laugh Immediately by the sugges-
ton that he should call on Mr.. Speak
er for song.
In the summer Of 1878, during the
debate on the calling of Indian troops
to Europe, a deeply Interested visitor,
not hearing quite well from his proper
place below the gallery, moved sew
eral yards up, so as to be quite close
to the member on his legs, who hap
pened to be Sir George Campbell
He only reached the place of new
members waiting to be sworn; of
these there were several. Only an in
discreet exhibition of interest in the
debate disclosed the intruder, who
just as he waited an opportunity Of
getting nearer to the Speaker found
himself prisoner and in course of
removal by the sergeant-at-arms.
Very often these experiences at His
Majesty's theatre royal of ST. Steph-
ems passed from the purely comic in
to the broadly farcial In the old days
the visitor unfinished with a mem
ber's card could generally get into
the gallery by giving a silver coin
to the custodian. Hence, of course,
many more or less authentic stories
of droll mistakes.
Toward the close Of the last century
the sergeant-at-arms amused. his guests
in 'Gossett's room" by telling how a
successful applicant for admission
showed his gratitude by pressing half
a crown into the terrible officials palm
Similarly Disraeli's Encouragement,
politely giving an order" to some
one he overheard asking for the absent
Sir John Cross, received sixpence. For
an exactly similar service an eloquent
Irish member, A. M. Sullivan, was re-
warded with twice that sum. The
third Marquis of Salisbury, prime min
lister till 1902, once showed himself
equally obliging, hut was less lavish
ly recompensed; the stranger whom
he had helped out of some small diff
ficulty could only put in his hand
some coppers to get a glass Of beer
