The Decpwater World give the following good
advice to its readers: "Never growl because a news
paper fails to give every scrap of news, 50 long as you
take no pains to give the editor information. We
have seen readers who are always put out at times be
cause We take no notice Of the arrival or departure OF
a friend visiting them, or local affairs, Improvements,
etc. The average newspaper man isn't a medium or
mind reader but gets much of his news the same way
some d~airymcn get their milk-by pumping"

This should be a Democratic year all round. If
McClclland of New York i, brought out for the Pres
idcncy, all Democrats and half the Republicans Of
New York will vote for him. Illinois stands a good
chance of going Democratic, and the many scandals in
the different departments at Washington bid fair to
disrupt the Republican party. McClelland is the
strongest and clcancst man in the east and can com
inand the support Of all factions of the Democratic

The Bank of England.

The Bank of England generally con-
tains sufficint gold in sixteen pound
bars to make 100000 sovereigns.
The bank. which stands in three par
ishes in London, covers three acres
of ground and, as the current price of
land in the vicinity works out at
e1,000.000 an acre, it is easy to form
an idea of the money value of the
home of England's wealth. The
ratable value is nearly $1,000 a
week. The bank employs about 1000
people and pays e250.000 year in
wages and s35,O00 a year in pen
sions. There are 925,0OO.O00 worth
of notes in circulation which have
been handed over the banks coun-

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

1t is unusual that single institution in a
city of g. 900 people will overshadow in i'm
portance every other interest, but such is
the case with the American School OF
Osteopathy, and A L. Still Infirmary at
Kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
Kirksville has been made what it is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
Inirmary. 1t is the largest patronlzed I'M
endowed institution of its kind in the
United States.
DR.. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tend four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac-
ticing in every state and territory of the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science
This school teaches every branch taught
in medical colleges except drugs" and
osteopathy is substituted for that. So
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
sected yearly by the students.
AT the 1nf1rmary, patients from every
part of the country and with almost every
form of disease are constantly under treat
ment. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re
lief by the science of Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heralded to the world as a safe and
rational method of cure. Several years age
a free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds OF
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free of charge.

Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She
Thinks She Would Have Died But
For DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks. Of No. As Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account of her cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years of and on was
treated in vain by different doctors
| for relief from a stomach trouble
which showed itself in frequent and
trying spells of vomiting. Part Of the
| time l was able to work, and again l
would be confined to bed for three or
four days in succession.
"My stomach was at times SO deli
cate that it would not retain even
plain water. The spells would some
times occur at intervals Of half an
hour, and would leave me so weak
that l would be compelled to lie down
| between them. l would have several
OF them during the night following
a day of such attacks. Finally l be-
came so weakened that l had to give
up working altogether. l weighed only
ninety-four pounds.
Last January l read about DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People in
one of the Chicago daily papers and
| bought box and began to use them.
After l had used half box l found
that / could keep on my stomach the
| food l ate. l was encouraged by this
and kept on using the pills for four
months. At the end of that time the
vomiting spells had ceased altogether
and my weight went up to 142 pounds
| and is still growing.
81 think l surely would have died II
1t had not been for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, for l sometimes vomited clear
blood, and for three or four days at a
time ! could not eat bite of any
thing. One doctor said had chronic
Inflammation of the stomach, and an
other said my difficulty was cancer.
| but none of their medicines did me
any good at all. Finally concluded
that ! did not have blood enough to
digest my food, and began the treat
ment that has cured me. can eat
anything now, and have strength for
| all kinds of work. / always keep DR..
Williams Pink Pills on hand, and
recommend them to my friends be-
cause know they cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomachs and
strengthen the digestive organs until
they do their work perfectly. They
are sold by all druggists.

TELLS WHY INDIANS PAINT.
Apache Relates Legend Which Ac-
counts for His Peoples Custom.

Apache RELATES Legend winch Ac-
counts for His Peoples Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why his people
painted their faces, told this little le-
gend:
Long ago, when men were weak,
and animals were big and strong, a
chief of the red men who lived in
these mountains went out to get a
deer, for his people were hungry.
after walking all day he saw a
deer and shot at it, but the arrow
was turned aside and wounded a
mountain lion which was also after
the deer. When the lion felt the sting
of the arrow he jumped up and bound
ed after the man, who ran for his life.
"He was almost exhausted and
when he felt his strength giving way,
he fell to the ground calling on the
big bear, who, you know,is the grand
father of men to save him.
1.-THE big bear heard the call and
saw that to save the man he had to
act quickly, so he scratched his foot
and sprinkled his blood over the man.
Nov, you must know that no ami
NAL wilr eat of the bear or taste of
his blood. So when the lion reached
the man he smelled the blood and
turned away, but as he did so his foot
scraped the face of the man, leaving
the marks of his claws on the blood
smeared face.
when the man found that he was
uninjured he was so thankful that he
left the blood dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it I'M
til it peeled off.
Where the claws of the lion
scraped it off there were marks that
turned brown in the sun, and where
the blood stayed on it was lighter.
Now all men paint their faces that
way with blood and scrape it off in
streaks when they hunt or go to war. !"

lions will permit. The imperative
command of the car is said to be
that Admiral Wirenius, who succeeded
Prince Oukhtomsky, when he makes
this sortie, must not return to the
port. The ships of the Russians face
the alternative of victory, destruction
or possible escape. In the latter case
the cars vessels are to make juno
ton with the Vladivostok squadron at
a secret rendezvous at sea, agreed up
on at the time the previous attempt
was made which resulted in defeat,
the destruction of the Novik and the
loss for the rest of the war of the bat
tie ship CzarevitGh, the cruisers Pal
lada and Diana and several destroyers.
