Another of those remarkable cures by
Cuticura, after doctors and all else had
failed, is testified to by Mr. M. C. Moss, of
Gainesville, Texas, in the following letter:
For over thirty years l suffered from

The Farmer and Strawberries,

strawberries he can eat than the

from the earliest to the latest varieties.
so the table can be supplied with
fresh, rich berries all through the sea-
son. The cost of this number of plants
would not exceed SO; they will occupy
about ten square rods of ground. and
one man can set them out in about
Two noufS. After this, they require
about the same amount of work as
vegetables; the yield should be at least
80 quarts. Figure this up at ten
cents per quart and you have grown
500 worth of Strawberries. and this
same bed of plants will do fully as
well for one more season. However.
we should not figure them in money
value, for the pleasure of contributing
such good things to the famly's happi-
ness counts far more than money.

five months did not cost $4,000. At
Park hotel rates Il could not hardly
have been $500. Perhaps he paid the
board of others. Who were they and
why should the railroad have paid
their bills? And to spend $4,000 he
must have "entertained" literally.
The bar bill for himself and those he
entertained must have been larger
than the board bill, but why should
the railroad pay bar bills +?
The job has paid Riordan very
well. But did it pay the railroad
that employed him? Was he worth

A New Reqjme Of Honesty.

Catholic Citizen.
We all declare that we want hon
esty ia public officials and in legis-
lative bodies which expend large
sums OF money raised by taxation.
But some of our fellow citizens don't
mean what they say. 1t Is for us to
always uphold the highest standards
and to reject the bad ethics of she
CRATER or his unindicted pals. Here
is where the test of good citizenship
may be applied.
Let no guilty man escape Let
those public officials who, not con-
tent with drawing the good salaries
allowed them by the law, go grating
on the side, and so betray the people
who have trusted them with public
emoluments 49, let them take their
medicine. Let the bloated tools OF
the corporations, who signaliZe every
election by corrupting their cheaper
fellow citizens with bad beer and
dirty coin, let them be impounded
where they belong--at hard labor in
Jail. And II justice Is served where
one thief turns evidence on another
thief--well and good. Any man who
objects tn that ought To be hand
cufied to the thief he is weeping
over.
In the end, not half the men who
ought to go to Jail will go there. Just
| ice, in such matters, never can com
| plete her task. Political corruption
| is one OF the most elusive of crimes ,
hard to discover and hard to prove.
Technicalities defeat, immunities
shield, and lawyer-m ade methods of
bribery battle. Our sympathy should
be with the community, whose in
juries are not half redressed nor half
atoned for.
But the prosecution serves pur-
pose over and beyond the punish
ment of the criminals convicted. 1t
enforces new regime of honesty in
the public service. 1t serves as -
warning to those who may hereafter
be tempted. 1t runs the tempter to
cover. 1t brings to life IL public CON
science and it places in the saddle II
vigilant citizenship.
