THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS.

There is good in everything. A
man many be ever so bad still
have good teeth.
The skinnlest pig that ever rooted
in the ground will make good soap
grease. The toughest steak can be
ground up in q meat grinder,
disguised with spices and things,
and made into mince pies.
Even dyspepsia, that awful curse
OF humanity, has its lighter side.
It saves grub.
The man who has two mother.in-
laws may take heart Of hope, for he
might have had three of four or a
half q dozen.
The married man can be truly
thankful that he is not single man
and the single man thankful be-
cause he is not married. There is
room for rejoicing on all sides.
The man who is alive should be
thankful that he is not dead, and
the dead should be thankful that
they don't have to pay rent for
their tOmbs.
Let the fat man rejoice that he
is no fatter than he is, and the thin
man sing because be has skin and
bones left.
II 1t rains, be glad the rain isn't
bricks. Show your teeth most Of
the time and yon will soon find
life one long jag OF joy.-Erchange

INSANITY FOR MONEY.

New York, Sept. 27.-The Sun
says: The Rev. DR.. Charles FL.
Parkhurst returned here from Eu-
rope to-day. Regarding the insur-
ance scandals he said:
"The life insurance situation is
indeed sad. 1t is hurting US abroad.
The world is growing better, it is
true, but it is shame to think
such conditions exist. There is
Depew, United States Senator.
He has dirtied his fingers finan-
cially.
~ "It is an awful disappointment.
There is to-day not only in this
country, but in others, an awful in
sanity for money.
cit is an insanity for pelf. Pros
perity produced it, and when a
man can acquire money easily he
becomes careless about how he gets
it. The example to our young is
awful. Young men and women
growing up to-day see how men of
responsibility act along the lines Of
honesty.
"They say if a Senator who rep
resents the quality of the country
and who stands high can do such
things, why can't they do themi
GAS to campaign contributions
from great interests, it is graft pure
and simple. They want return
in certain privileges.
"They give to both parties, so
they stand no chancer Of losing.
When either party is in power they
are able to say, Didn't we help
youi and demand the privileges
they seek. 1t is all graft. There
can be no doubt on this question.
Even the Senator from this State
must know that"

of President Mccall, of the New
York Life, to the effect that he con-
sidered himself justified in paying
out the Company's money in some
instances without the knowledge Of

WHY HE IS POPULAR.

What operates more than any
thing else to create popular favor
for President Roosevelt is his i'm
pulsive and headlong courage. He
revels in war, and when he is
chained down to peaceful pursuits
by the condition which surround
him, and which obtain throughout
the country, he must from time to
time work the fever Of fight and aa-
venture ont of his blood by hunt
ing grizzly bears and mountain
hons in the Far West, and gallop-
ing day after day with the rough
riders OF the plains. 1t is said
that all the world loves a lover, and
so it does Il fighter, provided he be
chlvalrous and gallant, just as all
the world hates n brawler and bull
ly. President Roosevelt's courage
is Of different class. He is i'm
bned with the spirit Of romance
and adventure which characterizes
the hero of the story-book, and he
would ask nothing better than to
rescue the beleagured maidens of
if it We're in his way.-N.

No man was ever anything but
better for being influenced by a
true woman but no man dominat-
ed by woman can be anything
but object of contempt. The wo-
man herself proves it, be she high
or low, pure or debauched, ignor-
ant or cultured. Flatter her though
it do, for to dominate is for her to
pity, if not actually despise. She
wants her way in trifles, but she
demands that she be dominated
in the larger matters of life.
Sometimes, she perversely insists
that she does not want to be, but
the fact remains always that she
has no true regard for the man
who does not dominate her. Her
nature demands that she influence
the idle hours with her soft glances
and winning tones, but that she be
governed with the gloved hand Of
a stronger nature even when she
seems to rule. B. r. Times.

ONE SAFE AND SANE INSTITUTION.

Following is a thought-inspiring
extract fiom The Springfield
(Mass. } Republican:
The opening Of the school year
has shown no decline in the popn-
larity Of the American public
school system. The people every
where c0ntinue to regard it as one
OF the cOuntry's finest institutions
and best assets.
Sustained and nnqnestioned ex-
cellence in our great public school
system has become SO much a mat
ter OF course that we are apt to lose
sight Of its connections with the
progress, the prosperity and the
dne moral and intellectual tone it
has been largely the means of
abetting in this country.
The public schools Of America
are not exceeded in thoroughness
Of curriculum and true democracy
Of regulations by those of any other
nation in civilization. Those OF
England and Germany are notably
we'll organised and conducted: in
the back ground. however, there is
always the pernicions il unseen in
duenco Of sharp class distinctions.
The European schools may, on the
surface, give the child Of the peas
ant and the child NJ rank aonoI an
portnnities, but there is not and
never can be the absence OF prefer
ence and Difference visible in the pro-
perly conducted public school in
America.
Tho common school systems of
the vari0us states, moreover, have
been and are now staunch factors
il the development Of brains ont Of
raw material and the wakening Of
the dormant ambitions which,
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer., 1905-10-07

and nervous force is used when you take
an Alternative extract Of herbs and roots,
withou. the use Of alcohol like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This vegetable
medicine coaxes the digestive functions
and helps IN the assimilation of food, or
rather takes from the food just the nutri-
ment the blood requires.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
purifes the blood and entirely eradicates
the poisons that breed and feed disease.
It thus cures scrofula, eczema erysipelas,
boils. pimples, and other eruptions that
mar and scar the skin. Pure blood is
essential to good health. The weak run
down, debilitated condition which so many
people experience IS commonly the effect
Of impure blood. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery not only cleanses the
blood of impurities, but it increases The ac-
tivity Of the blood making glands, and II
enriches the body with an abundant supply
of pure, rich blood.
No matter how powerful the intellect or
the resources of intellectual power, it must
be backed up by physical force. Every
day the youth or man must manufacture
pint Of rich, arterial blood, that is pure,
stimulating to the brain, and that can re.
build the tissues that were destroyed in
yesterdays work.
Dr.. Pierce's Pellets cure biliousness.

"Make this PLAIN, if you publish
anything" said the venerable T.
G. Platt to the Chicago reporter
who interviewed him yesterday,
"that the whole American people
need to be more calm in forming
their judgments. They have been
too hasty in the past While bad
men may have got into public life,
as they do in private life, every
public man is not a bad man, and l
believe most of them are striving
to be as just to the public as to the
other interests they may represent.
The New York Senator's candor is
truly delightful. Now if he would
tell us just how many other inter
ests he represents in the United
States Senate, besides the public
interest. this aged philosopher
would almost endear himself to us.
Or, is he talking about the Hon.
