A PECULIAR THING.
CARRIE B. MILES,
Deputy Clerk.

Nature is peculiar in everything. 1t
is natural that we should eat and re-
ceive the full benefit of our food, but.
do you get the full benefit? To do so
you must have your entire system in
perfect order, and the repository of all
food-the stomach-must perform its
proper duties. When it does not, COM
plications arise; stomach. kidney and
liver troubles follow, constipation sets
in, pains in the back and sides are con-
slant, and the whole system is thrown
out of order.
Quaker Herb Extract reaches the
seat of the trouble, and removes the
cause. 1t discharges all impurities in
the natural manner, and rebuilds the
entire human organism
Jas r. Hughes, 1905 West Eleventh
street, Muncie, Ind, suffered untold ag-
onies for twelve years, from so-called
stomach trouble. For three years he
was unable to work. Less than one
half a bottle of Quaker Herb Extract
relieved him of a tape worm so fee
long, six bottles made an entirely diff
ferent man of him, and Mr.. Hughes is
today strong and healthier than ever
before in his entire life.

plete stock of the time-tried Quaker

BEYOND THE LAST.

1t has often struck me as a curious
thing that in all the countries I have
inhabitated shoemakers should gener
ally have been socialists.
What. I wondered. produced this odd
phenomenon?
It was hardly to be supposed that
souls with sociaHstic tendencies in
carnate by preference in shoemakers,
as they could further their views just
as well in other walks OF life. It
therefore became clear To me that there
was something in the fact of shoemak-
ing which favors this form Of belief.
At one time I thought I was on the
right track. and that ii was the handl-
ing and the smell OF leather that did
it: for material things. especially
smells and scents have strange effects
on souls but then all tanners and
saddlers would be socialists, and this
certainly is not the case, so I had 70
give up this theory
There is nothing like going to the
root Of things. so I set to work Il
learn how to make shoes, and l came
I'd the very matter OF fact and every
day conclusion that it was nothing
more or less than the leisure shoemak-
ers have to chatter over their work
which turns them into disconnected
politicians; for disconnected they are
as they have not yet got what they
want.-Lady Paget in the Nineteenth
Century.

COST or RUNNING A HOTEL.

It is stated on excellent authority
that the manager of the Waldorf-As-
toria must receive in cash over $4,000
daily before he can look for a cent
of profit.
During the first year of the exist
ence Of the st. Regis, John Jacob AS
tors Fifth Avenue hotel. no less than
$4,000 were spent for cut flowers
alone. Even this huge sum is outdone
by the florist bill of the Hotel Astor
which by reason Of its countless ban
quets, expends about 100000 annually
for these fragrant but fragile decora-
tons
At the st. Regis some of the ex-
penditures for every day articles of
food tax the Imagination and strain the
credulity. For instance. the butter
salary Of the president of the United
States; the egg bill is $4,000; vege-
tables, $50, 900; fruits, s42, 900; poultry,
S118 coo, and meats, 100000. 1t should
be borne in mind that the St Regis is
not the largest of the modern hotels
in New York, and hence its commits
sariat department is by no means the
most notable from a financial stand
point.
George w. Boldt, manager of the
Waldorf-Astoria, paid in a single year
$3.50. 600 to replace the broken china,
crockery, etc, and it is stated that, on
friend commenting on the magni-
tude of this sum, he replied that he
did not think that his employees were
so very, very careless after ALL

MOUSE THAT ROBBED RAILROAD.

A mouse caught in the act of till tap
ping has cleared up a mystery which
has bothered the agents in charge Of
the union depot here. From time to
time money had disappeared from the
sale of tickets. and an investigation
had already been ordered by the de-
partment when the odd discovery was
made.
A mouse was seen to creep out from
its hole, take a bill from the till and
start back for its hiding place. A
search revealed the nest of the rodent
lined with bills of all denominations.
Several were intact. but most Of them
were badly chewed and multilated.-

KING EDWARDS ANXIOUS MOMENT

King Edward once said that he spent
the most exciting and nervous moment
Of his life on a prairie in Canada when
he visited that country as a youth. He
was in no danger of being scalped by
a red Indian, or eaten by wolves or
gored by maddened bison. His anx-
iety and nervousness were simply due
to his efforts to light a match.
The Prince and his party were miles
away from human habitations; they
wanted TO smoke and had only one
match between them Lots We're cast
as TO who should strike it. The lot fell
to the Prince. and with great difficulty
he managed TO get the light which was
to supply them with fire till their re-
turn to Tid-Bits.

petition of the Western Union and

sion in regard to what shall consti-
tute payment for transportation and
to the issuance and use of free passes.
so far as such ruling might control
or govern certain contracts entered
into between the telegraph and rail-

The substance of the decision is that
as a telegraph service along its right
Of way Is essential to the safe opera
ton OF its trains. a railroad company
or a group of separately incorporated
roads, generally recognized as a rail-

operation of such a telegraph line and

the fact that the telegraph company
may also use such telegraph line in

According to a report in railroad cir
cles the Wabash people will commence
work double-tracking their system at
once. 1t has been known for some
time that the move was intended but
not until recently has any word been
given out as to when the work would
be commenced. According to reports is
sued by executive officials it has been
decided that the Improvement must
be made at once to care for the increas-
ed traffic from the Pittsburg Terminal
the Wheeling & Lake Erie, and the
West Side Belt road. The traffic has
assumed such enormous proportions
that 1t has become impossible to handle
the numerous trains on the single
track with any degree of safety and
speed. In accordance with this move,
at meeting of the board of directors
in Toledo several days ago. it was de-
