THE PASSING OF THE WOODEN FENCE
POST.

IL hasn't been great many years since most
farm fences were made of rails and even now one
occasionally sees reminder of that period in a
rail fence taking zigZag course along some high
way. But fences of this material are becoming
more of a scarcity every year.
Another change is now taking place-the gradual
elimination of the wooden post and substitution
in its place of the lndestructible Post
Wooden fence posts never were satisfactory.
They were always pulling out or breaking off due
to the rotting away OF the portion beneath the sur
face of the ground and had TO be replaced every
few years. Every winter a large number of posts
had always to be made to take the place of those
whose term of service had expired. The expense
of wooden posts has been gradually increasing
until now, in most parts of the Middle West their
cost is almost prohibitive Consequently farmers
are turning with genuine relief to the Indestructi-
BILE Posts.
Indestructible Post Company, First National Bank
building. Chicago, Ill They are made by embed
ding an upright Of high carbon angle steel in a
base of manufactured stone. The stone base is
inserted in the ground. Base and upright are in
sepaTable and form rigid post that will last for
ever Another desirable feature of the Indestruct-
ible Post is that they all the same size and APP
pearance, this giving a uniformity TO a fence that
cannot otherwise be secured.
These posts can be used for every purpose. A
special kind is manufactured for grape vine posts
and thousands have been sold.
Special machinery for their manufacture, and
pany to sell these posts as cheaply as wooden
posts can be purchased. No farmer can afford to
use wooden ones any longer
The Indestructibe Post Company will gladly
send a catalogue fully describing these posts 10
any one interested.

Fever That Seldom Dies Out.

Do you know there is such a thing
as newspaper fever" and that it just
worms and burns its way into a fell
lows system and remains there as
long as life lasts? 1t is fact. Men
who work around newspaper Offices
know it to be true. They know it is
true not only to the men who work
in the business, but many others who
never happen to get into the business
at all. There is an old legend to the
effect that IL man once takes the
Mississippi river water he will keep
coming back to the same old river.
no matter where he goes. 1t is the
same way in the newspaper business.
Taste it once and you have got 1t in
your system for good.-New Orleans

chanoino Bible Sentences.

While the Athenians of the present
generation have riotously protested
against the rendering of classic plays
into modern Greek, English speaking
people have not got up any riots over
similar outrages perpetrated in the
twentieth century Bible. For instance
the text, "A city which is set on a
hill cannot be hid" became 1T is i'm
possible for a town which stands on
a hill to escape observation" Where
the authorized version says, "Sayest
thou this thing TO thyself?" the TWEEN
tieth century paraphrase reads, is
that a suggestion of your own? But
as absurd as any is this rendering OF
a famous passage, And it being levee
day in heaven all Gods nobility came
to court to present themselves before
Him"

THE CRUISER DENVER.
Her Preliminary Trip Was Very
Satisfactory.

Philadelphia, March 5-After a pre-
liminary trial trip off the Delaware
breakwater, in which she attained an
average speed greater than that re-
Quired by her contract, the cruiser
Denver returned to anchor off the yard
of her builders, Neafle & Levys, late
Friday. Satisfaction with the vessels
performance was expressed by the
company's officers and the govern
ment's experts who were on the trip.
One of the officials of the company
said the Denver attained a speed Of
1873 knots and an average of some
what more than the II knots called
for in the contract with the govern
ment
The cruiser is now complete with
the exception of painting, and when
her official trial trip takes place the
vessel will be ready to be turned over

FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Senator Fairbanks Will Accept If He
Receives the Nomination.

Washington, March Sit was learn
ed Friday night that Senator Fair

make him the vice presidential nomi-
nee OF the republican party. If. the
convention nOminates him he will ac-
cept. More than that, he will not. at
tempt to discourage efforts looking to
his nomination. sfese IS
1t is only fair to say that no ex.
plicit declaration by Senator Fair
banks to that effect has been made.
The Indiana delegation in congress-
was convinced Friday that Senator
Fairbanks had yielded to the solicita
tion of men high in the councils out
side Of Indiana to take second place
on the national ticket.
Almost without exception his clos
est political friends in Indiana have
advised him, in his own interest,
against accepting the vice presidency
Influential republicans in the senate,
such men as Spooner, Allison and
Platt, have urged him to take it, on
the ground that he would strengthen
the republican ticket, especially in f.
nancial circles, and that his first duty
is to his party rather than to his own
political future.

Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from

iliver-and all the fine spirits ever made
jim the Blue Grass State could not
remedy bad liver or the hundred and
one i'll effects it produces. You can't
have good spirits and bad liver at the
same time. Your liver must be in fine
tcondition if you would feel bouyant,
happy and hopeful, bright of eye, light
of step, vigorous and successful in your
pursuits. You can put your liver in
fine condition by using Green's August
Flower the greatest of all medicines
for the liver and stomach and a certain
lcure for dyspepsia or indigestion. II
has been a favorite household remedy
for over thirty-fve years. August

Profitable Investment

In 1875 it was communicated to the
British government that the Khedive
Ismail Pasha, being in desperate need
OF money, was willing to sell his 176,-

minute. England paid $2O,0OO,OOO for
the khedive's holdings, or at the rate

gregated $24,O0O,000 and to-day the
shares are selling at $700 each. This
shows profit on the transaction Of
$103 800, 900.
