" cow BOYS" OF G.. P. O.
employees OF DOCUMENT DIVI-
SION so DESIGNATED.

One OF the oddities Of the government
printing office Is the term cowboys" ap-
piled to employees of the document division
Of the bindery, said to be one Of the most
important branches OF the government
printing Office. Several years ago an edi-
ton of the report of the Department Of
Agriculture was being bound which con-
tanned the picture of number of cows.
and when an employe wished to know the
character of the work being done by fell
low-workman he would ask: Are you work.
ing on the cows?" The name has since
remained with the division, and been adopt
ed by the base ball and bowling teams OF
that branch of the bindery.
The year book of the Department of Ag-
riculture is the largest edition bound in
cloth at the government printery, the usual
run being 500. 600 copies. Under the pres
ent arrangement the edition has been re-
duced to 100000 copies. The year book OF
1905 has 97S pages, and the cowboys bind
276 books for days work Of eight hours.
Forty book sewing machines and 125
hand sewers are employed in the docu-
ment division Of the bindery.
Carpenters Are Busy.
The government printing office carpenter
.. shop recently made a large delivery Of fur
niture to the various divisions and branches
of the office. Among the large pieces made
to order are two folding tables containing
twenty-four large drawers to hold the
street clothes Of the workers of the folding
room. a cabinet Of ten drawers for the
same division. rack to hold 416 galleys
for the first division. and rack With
capacity of forty-two chases for the speci-
fcation division.
The term carpenter shop" of the big
printery Is said to be a misnomer, for,
although they do any class of work, the
greater part of the output is cabinet
work. Lumber Is bought in the rough
and turned into any design or device de-
sired Considerable mahogany has been
used in fitting up the executive Offices
and in manufacturing signs, fiower-pot
rec eptacles and other ornamentation.
The class of beginners on the Lanston
tyresetting machines is being constantly
added to, the intention having been an
nounced to break in a sufficient number
to operate the machines night and day.

THE WARLlKE MOROS.

They Prize Their Weapons and Would
Rather Fight Than Eat.
An inordinate military conceit is a
dominant quality of the Moro. To him
there is but one measure of defeat-to
wit, humiliation. If beaten, he eX-
poets nothing less; if he meets less, he
has saved the day, perhaps won a vic
tory. They are all of one profession
arms AS children their first toys are
wooden arms, their first instruction the
play of the sword and the spear. What
ever else as men they may be-priest,
farmer, robber, pirate, merchant, law
yer-they are always, first, soldiers.
For a young man to lose his creese
means to lose his right to marry, and
it is the desire of all to die creese in
hand. In fear of loss they sleep on
these precious arms or with them tied
to the body. For the same reason their
cannon are kept lashed to timbers in
their houses.
Firearms, indeed, are their main dan
ger with civilized people. If they see
the opportunity thereby to secure such
arms, MOrOs can never resist the temp
tation to rob and murder. To get them
they will risk all, lose all and never
whimper. To them without the best
arms death were prefera ble.-Major r.

A Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one Of DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrapperS and their formula
are attested under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paying for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for eX-
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, ViZ.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being a most valuable anti-Septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul-
cent.
Glvcerine plays an important part in
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and
weak stomach, attended by sour risings,
heartburn, foul breath, coated tongue,
poor appetite, gnaWlng feeling In stom-
ach, biliousness and kindred derange-
mentS of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Besides curing all the above distressing
ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery"
is specific for all diseases of the mucous
membranes, as catarrh, whether OF the
nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels
or pelvic organs. Even in it's Lucrative
stages it will yield to this sovereign rem
edy if it's use be persevered in. In Chronic
Catarrh of the Nasal passages. it is well,
while taking the "Golden Medical Dis
covery" for the necessary constitutional
treatment, to cleanse the passages freely
two or three times day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course
of treatment generally cures the worst
cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron-
chial, throat and lung affections, except con-
Sumption in its advanced stages the Golden
Medical Discovery" is most efficient rem
edy, especially in those obstinate. hang-on
coughs caused by irritation and congestion of
\ the bronchial mucous membranes The Dis
covery" is not so good for acute coughs arls-
ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex-
pected to cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that-but for all
the obstinate chronic coughs. which, If neg
lected. or badly treated. lead up to consump-
ton. it is the best medicine that can be taken.

The Inns of Old England.

Efforts were continually being made
in England to keep down the number
of inns. In the reign of Edward 1.
there were only three in the whole of
London. Even in 1862 no more than
forty were legally permitted in the me-
tropOlfs, now spreading out its bound
aries on every side. York might have
eight, Norwich, Exeter and Cambridge
four, Bristol six and Oxford three.
These regulations must have been set
at naught in a very wholesale manner,
for half a century later there were 400
''houses of call" in that part Of London
known as the City and no fewer than
twenty-four clustered round Covent
Garden. In medieval Oxford it was
ruled that no "victualer" was eligible
for the Office Of mayor, and this term
included an innkeeper.

Thackeray and Dickens.

This is the way George Henry Lewes
once characterized Thackeray and
Dickens in the way Of service to a
friend: Dickens, he said, would not
give you a farthing of money, but he
would take no end Of trouble for you.
He would spend a whole day, for in
stance, in looking for the most suitable
lodgings for you and would spare him
self neither time nor fatigue Thacke-
ray would take two hours grumbling
indecision and hesitation in writing {?
two line testimonial, but he would pu
his hand into his pocket and give you
handful of gold and bank notes If yC
wanted them.
