THE COUNTRY HOME.
Did you ever stop to think that the
prospect Of a visit to the country home
is usually hailed with delight by both
young and old alike? The spirit of hos
pitality, comfort and plenty which per-
vades the whole atmosphere of the
farm home is delightful in the ex-
IRENE, especially to those who come
from city homes where economy is
practiced on every corner and the
good things SO appetizing in the farm
home mean a good substantial tug at
the pocketbook when purchased in the
city. The hostess in the country home
cultivates and enjoys her friends. She
can afford to be hospitable with re-
sources at her command which meet
the demand of every occasion. She
makes her guests feel at home and
happy, while they in turn respond to
the freedom and lack of formality with
great eagerness.

How to Break Up a Cold.

1t may be a surprise to many o
learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two days
time. The first symptoms of a cold
are dry, loud cough. profuse watery
discharge from the nose, and thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance of
these symptoms, it counteracts the eff
feet of the cold and restores the sys-
tenn to a healthy condition within a
day or two. For sale by all leading

Land in Russia.

The condition of things in Russia
is assuming a phase that is alarming
the despotic government of the coun-
try more than at any time since the
agitation of the people for relief from
their ills began. The reports that
reach the public from that country in
dictate that the government is at the
bottom of the various disturbances and
massacres which have taken place
the purpose being 10 justify the as
sembling of large bodies of troops and
the overawing of the populace in order
10 prevent revolutions.
The Russian people are ripe for rev
Olution. but as yet no leaders of rec
ognized ability and magnitude have
come to the front The people are
clamorins for relief. but the car. con-
trolled, b. aristocracy, has Offered
them only stones where they have
asked for bread"
One of the most important questions
involved in the controversy between
the car and the people. ard one that
is vital in its character. is the land
question. Those who have carefully
sought out the causes of the social
and political unrest that has prevailed
in Russia for some time past know
that the monopolization of land by
the crown. the church and the nobil-
ity is responsible for the most irk-
some of the evils the Russian people
suffer.
The peasants realizing that they
need more land are demanding its ex-
preparation TO the end of having some
of it distributed among themselves,
and thus relieve the existing, land
famine.
Strange indeed. one may remark,
that there should be such a state of
affairs in an empire whose extent is
So enormous as is that of the do

mains that the Russian people find
themselves oppressed because of their

Folk on the Duties of a Prose

Governor Folk, of Missouri, has read
the prosecuting attorneys of the coun-
try an instructive lesson on their du-
ties, in recent reply he made to Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York,
who offered. as a reason for not en-
forcing certain laws, the hackneyed
excuse that 1T is monstrous that a
prosecuting officer should be an invest
igator." Governor Folk, among other
things. said in reply TO Mr.. Jerome:
u say it is the duty of prosecuting
attorney to investigate. and to investi-
gate aggressively, every report of cor
ruption and drag into the sunlight of
publicity those crimes that in the ma
ture of things are always done in
the dark and in secret. The entire
public is dependent upon the prosecu-
tor. and unless the prosecutor investi-
gates and digs out the evidence such
crimes can rarely be uncovered or pro-
secuted"
The Springfield Register earnestly
commends this reply of Governor Folk
to Mr.. Jerome TO the attention and hon
nest, thoughtful consideration of
States Attorney Hatch of Sangamon
county and says, There are corrup-
ton and crime i'll Springfield that
should be dragged into the sunlight of
