Mr.. N. l.. Farquhar, principal of

Sells More Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy than of All Others
Put Together.

The following letter from a To-
cality where Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is well known shows by
the unprecedented demand for it
that the medicine sells on it's own
merit. Mr.. Thos. George, a mer-
chant at st. Elgin, Ontario, says:
II have had the local agency for
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ev-
or since it was introduced into
Canada, and I sell as much of it as
| do of all other lines I have on
my shelves put together. OF the
many dozens sold under guaran-
tee, | have not had one returned. I

To The Teachers of Iron County.

I desire to call the attention of
the teachers of this county, and
those that are intending to be ap-
plicants for certificates, to Mr..
Daugherty's Summer School. His
work needs no recommendation
here; but you, as teachers and
students, do need to consider what
he offers and the benefits that you
will derive by spending that length
of time, under his direction, at
conscientious work with your
books.
| shall not surprise you If / state
that you need the work. Examine
your record and sec if you are not
going down hill instead of push
ing forward. A great many of
you are still using the same third
grade certificate that our ~leniency
gaze you long ago. We like to aid
those that will help themselves.
The teacher that shows that she is
trying to make a better teacher Of
herself will certainly receive every
aid that we can offer; but If you
are a teacher that is sitting down
waiting for something to turn up,
don't expect us to give you grace

Obituary.

Charles Herman Tolleson, aged
3 years and A months, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas R. Tolleson, of
Owl Creek, died at their home
February "a, 1905, of pneumonia.
The little body was laid to rest
February rs at Bonne Terre. Rev.
Velvick preached the funeral SER
mon. Charles leaves a father,
mother, one sister and other rela-
tives to mourn his death. Charles
is dead to us, yet he is living in
another world, where there is no
death. Still may the voices of
children echo in the home and
soothe the parents, but they will
never forget the thrills of the
young voice that is gone. We
would say to the bereaved family,
"Let not your heart be troubled"
For us there is no happiness,
Our sorrow to allay;
The Angel of Death has visited US,
And beckoned our dear one away.
Twas only a little whisper
That was all;
But dear Charles had to leave us,
To answer his Savior's call.
No more he'll feel the cares of earth,
He now is laid to rest;
In our hearts there is the longing,
Oh, God, new hope place in our breasts!
Teach US in our great sorrow
To trust within Thy love,
So when our tasks are ended,
We all may meet above.
Help US ever to look forward,
Our lives will brighten yet;
But meier to cease hoping, praying,
"LeSt we forget"
Little Charles, now good bye!
No tongue can ever tell
How hard it is to speak those words
The parting words that say, farewell!
But with your memory I'll Danish care!
The day shall dawn both bright and
fair
When you and l, our troubles DER,
Shall meet again to part no more!

AT present there are 2,129 pris-
oners in the Missouri penitentiary,
2,052 male and II female. While
a great many of these are employ
ed in and around the prison at
work pertaining directly to the
prison itself, and not a few are
idle, the greater number OF male
prisoners are employed in making
shoes, brooms and saddle-trees.
Over 5000 pairs of shoes, 200 doz-
en- brooms and 1000 saddle-trees
are turned out daily. Many other
articles are manufactured in the
prison but the three mentioned are
the leading ones. The average
daily cost of feeding these prison
ers is about 5000, or $4,000 per
month. An ordidary days cook
ing, for the three meals, having
two or three "changes" of diet at
different meals of the day, includes
the following: 1900 pounds of

or certificates simply because you
hare taught. We do not have them
to give; you Ire expected to make
them by your own effort.
Some times | hear a teacher say
"Well, these school boards are
stingy and won't pay me what l
am worth" Fie! Merit always
wins. Many of our school boards
are paying more than their teach
ers are worth. See to it that you
T qualified to do what is ex-
pected of you. Do that thing, and
do it well, regardless of what you
are worth. Do your duty and
your employer will soon find if
you deserve further recognition.
Salary is an after consideration;
make yourself worth it, and you
will soon find that your services
are in demand in more places than
you can fill. There are good OPEN
ings for teachers of the right kind
right here in u own county. But
are you the "right kind?" You
are not if you show no progress.
The ones that fill these positions
are they that are not satisfied with
twenty-five dollar jobs, and have
consequently made themselves
worth more.
1t is up to you. Mr.. Daugherty
offers you good opportunities if
you are wanting them. Take his
work and do it honestly and you
will be stronger by having done
so. Shame upon you for standing
still, or rather, going backwards !
Arouse yourselves and use what
energy you have, and you will
always find some one ready and
willing to lend you a helping
hand. Yours, Truly,

remember and always greet with
pleasure. After demonstrating to
our mutual satisfaction that we
could have settled the late Sena-
torial contention one way or 10th
er-"Jim" is a Republican, you
know-with much less hullabaloo
and infinite waste of valuable time
we separted; the bell rang, the
whistle footed, and southwark l
speeded.
About twelve miles south of
Walnut Ridge there is a siding to
permit the passing of trains north
and south. On this occasion we
didn't pass, however-at least not
as ships pass in the night. A
freight train at the south end of
the siding was too previous in
making the switch and in conse-
quence when we came to a halt we
found the freight engine off the
rails at the switch opening, effectu-
ally barring progress either way.
| asked the porter how long we'd
have to stay there and received the
comforting assurance that sit
mought be two hours, an it mought
be six; we mought have to go back
to Hoxie and take de oder root
he was prideful in giving it the
heightened pronunciation-''an'
dere was no tellin' when we'd git
to de Rock" 1t seemed to me my
Nemesis was still pursuing me. A
year ago | came down here, and on
my return home a broken bridge
near Newport heightened my eight
hours travel into one of twenty
four, with an all-night ride of
sleeplessness, hunger and discom-
fort.
Saturday, however, we had a
"diner" with us, and l Jared very
we'll, though when l called for ham
and eggs-the meal that stands by
my appetite when all else fails-I
was officially informed that they
were dispensed at breakfast only;
not at lunch. I'd like to meet the
fellow that established this damn
able rule and show him the per-
versity of his training. Bar ham,
an'-eggs to a hungry traveller!
What matter the hour? Doth not
the dish smell as sweet, is it not
as toothsome, under the broad
glare of the sun, as at early morn
or dewy eve? Pm going to write
to the head of the railway catering
service about it, and he failing, by
the eternal it shall be put before
the Commissioners! | wiH have
my ham-and-eggs as an Unborn
right of an American sovereign.
After a time a wrecking crew
came on the scene and yanked the
engine onto it's native rails; the
freight pulled into the siding, and,
after considerable see-sawing back
and forth past an old sawmill
which wearied my vision, we final
ly set out in earnest for our desti-
nation. A few minutes after five
o'clock we crossed the bridge SPAN
ming the river between Argenta
and this town and rolled into the
station. Thence | took a South
Main street car and in twenty min
utes was with my friends and
ready for a supper of the ham-and-
eggs rudely denied my appeal at
noon.

Saturday morning last I left Ar
cadia's classic vale close on sched-
ule time-6;15 by the clock now
absent from the station o rrepairs.
How I missed it's familiar form
that morning! For more than a
a quarter of a century it had greet
ed me Familiarity and kindly, and
I grew to love it's patient face and
gentle, pensive Textbook. Hand
some, in classic rule, it never was,
but what of that? IT'S not always
that our affection is called forth by
Grecian nose and unimpeachable
lineament. I remember during
the days that the Ore and Steel
Company was in it's glory-when a
thousand miners, from all the con-
fines of earth-when Hun and Dago
and German and Cousin Jack drill
ed and delved and shoveled side by
side in the bowels of Pilot Knob
mountain-an incident illustrative
of the truth that beauty lies solely
in the eyes that view it. At that
time my friend Aug. Rieke, ran a
combined grocery store and sa-
loon in the building where he now
resides. 1t was then denominated
"The Half Way House." 1t was
a popular resort for the miners.

was a by-word and wonder to all

of feminine beauty. After all the
