Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relieve the pam? The quick relief which this liniment affords make rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times it's cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett of Yum Yum, Ten nessee, U..S A., writes: "I am great sufferer from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that will relieve the pain" For sale by all dealers.

National Manufacturers Association says we should not desire t0 see Social ism made a prominent issue in Oul national campaigns. wonder why2
 Our exports annually double our inn ports, yet no nation is in debt to ns fOl the extra product we exported. Whyt American manufacturers say that wages must go down or our exports stop. Will some good Republican kind ly tell IS why.
 The late military bill makes every able bodied man between the age ol eighteen and forty-fve militiaman under the control of one man, and this bill was passed without debate; l won- der why?
 Reports say that J. P Morgan hoped for the cleo tion of a Democratic Presi- dent last year yet contributed money to the Republican campaign fund. Perhaps some good Democrat (if any can be found) can tell us why.
 Reliable statistics show that more than 10000 children starve to death in America annually and that 1,5OO,OOO men are in enforced idleness. If you will ask Socialist he will tell you why
 In the United States their are 6,334 ,- 695 property owners which include hand trade factories, shoe and bicycle repair shops, etc. There are also 21 ,848,769 propertyless workers. The capitalists are very anxious that these workers should not take political action in their own behalf. Perhaps some citizens alliance man can tell us why.
 The interstate commerce com missions report on railways, issued December IS, 1903, showed that for each $l65 paid for operating expenses there was $l0O profit to the owners. In other words, from each $2.65 which they handled in the course of doing the transportation during the year 1903, the owners retained $1.0O to themselves. I wonder if there is any relation be- tween this and the fact that tine soil tilers the country over toll so much and have so little.
 It is common thing for whole fleet of barges to carry tons and tons of wholesome food out of New York harbOr to be thrown into the open sea while thousands are suffering for want of food in that great city. Per haps some smart counter jumper work ing for $6.35 per week can tell us why.

Every now and then you will find in
some periodical an item relating to the
subject of book in which you are in
terested. 1t is good plan to enter on
the fy-leaf a reference to this passage,
so that you may find it again when
needed. Such notes, neatly written in
pencil, do no harm, and will often save
you much time. You may in the same
way make notes of the numbers of
pages in which you have been special
ly interested. A correspondent writes
to us asking whether We recommend
marking books" To this extent we
certainly do, provided the book is not
SO fine an edition that it should be kept
as spotless as can be. Besides, very
light pencil notes can be removed in a
moment without harm to any page.
But the marking of books that extends
to disfguring them will never be done
by any one who realizes how long a
good book may continue to delight new
readers, and to bring them help in
right living and thinking. Mich

Fixing Railroad Rates.

Making railroad rates is like playing
game of checkers or chess. Commune
tiles to be benefited, producers, manu-.
facturers or shippers to be aided, repre-
sent the pieces used. Every possible
move is studied for it's effect on the
general result by skilled traffic man
ayers. A false move in the making of
freight rates may mean the ruin of
city, OF great manufacturing interest,
OF an agricultural community. Rail-
roads strive to build up all these so
that each may have an equal chance in
the sharp competition of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that in order to build up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate
rates. Rate making has been matter
OF development; of mutual concessions
for mutual benefit. That is why the
railroads of the United States have vol
UNFAIRLY made freight rates SO much
lower in this country than they are on
the government-owned and operated
railways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

neglected case of catarrh of the stom-

heartburn and headaches, and felt run

PHONE AID TO MATRIMohY.

Girl with One in Her Home AIways
Popular with Young Men.
It is needless to say that the tele-
phone Is a great institution, says the
Utica Press. 1t has long been an abso-
lutte essential in every place of busi-
ness. Just now there is a great in
crease in the number of phones In pri-
Vate houses. 1t is possible to talk
with pretty much everybody at his or
her home. The companies are evident
~ endeavoring to boom that branch of
their business, because they are ad-
vertising it extensively. The other
day a St Louis paper had big dis
play ad. at the top Of which was a
picture Of an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented as saying:
lis that you, Harryw The text be-
meath it includes this statement: "It
Is well-known fact that the girl who
has a telephone is the girl who has
the most friends, and consequently has
the best time"
This appeal to the young people is
adroit, and doubtless will serve to
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
marriageable daughters will do well to
consider this ingenious contrivance and
modern aid to matrimony. 1t is some
thing of a bother for young man to
call OF even to write note asking the
young lady to go to the theater go for
a walk or drive or a ride to the park
but If he can transmit the message by
telephone it is an easy way of making
an appointment. Many a delicious
message Is telephoned these DAYS, and
there is reason to believe the statement
made by the st. Louis company. It
applies, of course, with equal force in
every American city. The young la
dies for whom life of single bles-
sedness has no charms are not exactly
buying lottery ticket when they hire
phone. They can get much pleasure
and comfort out of it as they go along
for it is constant contributor to con-
venience. 1t Is worth the price, with
the enhanced matrimonial possibility
thrown in as an extra inducement.

Arabia's Laughing PLANT.

There is curious plant that grows
In Arabia and is known by the name
Of Laughing plant" This name comes
from the fact that any one who eats
its seeds cannot control his laughter.
The natives Of the district where this
funny plant grows dry the seeds and
reduce them to powder. A small dose
of this powder makes those who eat
1t act much like those who drink more
liquor than is good for them. The So
berest person will dance, shout and
laugh like madman, and rush about
cutting up the most ridiculous capers
for an hour. At the end of this time
the reaction comes. The dancer is ex-
hausted and deep sleep comes upon
him. After nap of several hours he
awakens with no recollection of the
antics he has performed.

RARE STAMPS ON OLD LETTERS
Finds of Value Sometimes Made
Stamps to Look Out For.

Finds of Value Som metimes Made
Stamps to Look Out For.
Never burn up or throw away old
letters or papers without first giving
them careful examina tion," advised a
Twenty-third street stamp dealer, 'for
there's many an apparently worthless
piece of paper that bears a stamp
which would bring in open market hun
dreds and maybe thousands Of dol
lars.
There are plenty Of the old post
master stamps still in existence, for
instance, as there were a great many
OF them originally issued, and it has
not been 30 long ago, say f1fty-five
years, when they were in active use.
Now, any one Of these early issues is
worth from $500 up. Any one who
has access to old files of correspond
ence from 1S40 to 1855 ought to hunt
for such stamps.
The chief reason why more of these
old stamps have not come to light is
probably that they have so ordinary
and unattractive an appearance that
person unacquainted with their value
would not waste second glance upon
them. They were very similar in most
cases to the postmaster cancellation
marks now in use in the postoffices,
with the exception that the postmaster
was required to sign his name to them.
The rarest of the whole lot of post
master issues Is the 1O-cent Baltimore
stamp, with the name of James M.
buchanan. One specimen of this stamp
sold for $4,4Oo, which is the record
price for stamp Of United States
issue. There's no reason in the world
why there shouldn't be more Of these
stamps packed away somewhere. In
the case of this stamp none of them
was used on envelopes, but all on let
tiers.
"rhe design Of the Baltimore stamp
is a box made Of hair line rule, one
and a half inches long and half an
inch wide. In the center is the sigma
ture, James Buchanan while un-
der the name is the denomination. eth
er or 10 cents. There are two kinds
OF these stamps, in black or blue. The
1O-cent black is the scarcer.
Next to this series probably comes
the New Haven stamp, at the bottom
of which Is the signature of e. A.
Mitchell, P. M In the center is the
figure with the word Paid directly

Very little is known of Hobbema's g

Amsterdam in 1888, but, as we have

birthplace. 1t is probable that he was

certain that he lived in Amsterdam. He
died poor, his last lodging being in the
Reosegraft, the street in which REM
brandt, also poor, had died forty years
before. His works were little appreci-
