Extension Of ,. and !. H. Causes
Considerable Stir in That
Good Old Town.

A special from Meadows of the 10Th
to the Capital News says: Now that
it has been officially announced that
the P. & l. N. will extend to this
point this season there is consider
able speculation as to whether there
will be any change in the location of
the townsite. The present location
is without question the most advan-
tageous to be found in the valley from
any point of view, but those things are
not always considered by railroad
company that is building through
any territory.
The natural advantages of the pre-
sent site can not be surpassed any
where, and very seldom equaled.
Goose creek, which comes down from
the mountains to the east, would fur
nish an abundance of pure water,
which could be brought to the town
at very small cost and water power
sufficient, for the wants of large
city. The town is sheltered on the
north side by fringe of stately
pines; these shnt off the chilly winds
of winter, making 10 to II degrees
difference between the temperature
here and temperatures in other parts
of the valley. The cost of moving
would be no small item and all our
people hope the company may see fit
to come to the present TOWNSHIP.

From wrong understanding and mis-

Power exercises a great influence
over him who holds it. A head must

, ers The corporal is generany narsner
than the colonel. In certain families
where madam has not much more ed
ucation than her maid the relations be-
tween them are those of the convict
and his warder. And woe everywhere
TO him who falls into the hands of a
subaltern drunk with his authority!
We forget that the first duty of him
who exercises power is humility
Haughtiness is not authority. 1t is not
I've who are the law; the law Is over
our heads. We only interpret it, but to
make it valid in the eyes of others we
must first be subject to it ourselves.
To command and to obey in the society
of men are, after all, but two forms of
the same virtue-voluntary servitude.
If you are not obeyed, 1t is generally
because you have not yourself obeyed
first.
The secret Of moral ascendency rests
with those who rule with simplicity.
They soften by the spirit the harshness
of the fact Their authority is not in
shoulder straps, titles or disciplinary
measures. They make use of neither
ferule nor threats, yet they achieve ev-
erything. Why? Because we feel that
they are themselves ready for every
thing That which confers upon man
the right to demand of another the sac
rifice of his time, his money, his pas
sions, even his life, is not only that he
is resolved upon all these sacrifices
himself, but that he has made them in
advance. In the command of a man
animated by this spirit of renunciation
there is mysterious force which COM
municates itself to him who is to obey
and helps him do his duty.
In all the provinces Of human activi-
ty there are chiefs who inspire,
strengthen, magnetic their soldiers;
under their direction the troops do
prodigies. With them one feels himself
capable of any effort, ready to go
through fire, as the saying has it, and
if he goes it is with enthusiasm.
But the pride Of the exalted is not the
only pride; there is also the pride Of
the humble-this arrogance of under
lings, fit pendant TO that of the great.
The root of these two prides is the
same. 1t is not alone that lofty and
imperious being, the man who says,
Il am the law" that provokes insur-
recton by his very attitude; it is also
that pigheaded subaltern who will not
admit that there is anything beyond
his knowledge
There are really many people who
find all superiority Irritating. For them
every piece of advice is an offense, ev-

PRIDE AND SIMPLICITY IL TIE INTER
COURSE or MEN.
TT would perhaps be difficult TO find
more convincing example than
pride TO show that the obstacles to
\ better. stronger, serener life are
rather i'm us than in circumstances.
The diversity and, more than that, the
contrasts in social conditions give rise
inevitably to all sorts of conflicts. Yet
I'm spite OF this, how greatly would
social relations be simplified If we put
another spirit into mapping out our
plan of outward necessities. Be well
persuaded that it is not primarily diff
ferences Of class and occupation, diff.
ferences in the outward manifesto
tions of their destinies, which embroil
men. If such were the case, we should
nnd an idyllic peace reigning among
colleagues and all those whose inter
ests and lot are virtually equivalent.
On the contrary, as every one knows,
the most violent shocks come when
equal meets equal, and there is no
war worse than civil war. But that
which above all things else hinders
men from good understanding is pride
1t makes a man a hedgehog, wounding
every one he touches. Let us speak
first of the pride Of the great.

his whole attitude that | count for

1t is my manhood that is wounded.
We need not search far to Illustrate
these ideas. Every man of any nc

experiences which will justify our

gan to come according as the Society
OF Equity had said and the dearth was
in all lands; but in the land of Ken
lucky, there was tobacco.
3 And when all the land Of Liver
pool, aud all the land of New York
was famished, the people cried to the
Society Of Equity for tobacco; and the
Society said unto all the trust people:
Go We unto the Governor Of the Black
Belt, for the same have we appointed
to rule over MS, What he saith to you,
do.
4. And the tobacco famine was over
all the face Of the earth; and all coun-
tries come into Kentucky to Governor
Equity for TO buy tobacco.
s. And when the Trust people saw
there was tobacco in Kentucky, the
Trust said to he- agents; Why do ye
look one upon another?
8. Behold have heard there is to-
bacco in Kentucky: Get you down
thither, and buy for US from thence.
I. And the Trust buyers even Ed
hodgeheimer and IayLe lkuesky and
Gallaherobervitchslty, went down TO buy
tobacco in Kentucky.
5. And Equity was governor now over
all the Black Belt, which groweth to-
bacco in Kentucky AID he it was, that
sold to all the people of the land; and
the Trust buyers came and bowed do IN
themselves before him with their faces
to the earth.
And the Governor saw the buyers,
and he knew them. and made himself
strange to them, and spake roughly unto
them, and he said unto them: Whence
come Ye? And they said from Yankee
land, and Ireland and England, for to
buy tobacco.
10. And theGovernor said unto them
Ye are spies, to see the nakedness of
the land you are come. And they said
20 him: Nay, my lord, bnt to buy to-
eco are thy servants come.
H.. Then the Governor spake rough
ly to them, commanding; Fetch hither
Your Wallets, that your worps may be
proved, whether there be any truth in
You. Where be the Simoleons2

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham. early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study TO the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust IN it; un-
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with

pound, the womans remedy for wo-
mans ills.
