"Do employers hire men and then
pay them what they think them worth
CT do they fix salaries and then get
such men as they can to fit them ?"
asked young man who had been 60
ing through the experience of changing
his work, Il Won't try to answer my
question, but will tell you a,story. l
called upon a manager to talk with
him about a place of responsibility
which l knew he had to offer. He
seemed taken with me and think had
his mind made up to employ me. Final
ly he asked me how much salary l
would expect.
"T should say about $3.50 a month,
l answered.
Immediately his face fell. I'm sor-
ry,' Ire said, hut expect to pay $500
a year, and ! want $4,000 man.

another place. Again seemed to suit,
and we got to the question of wages.

of spending much money. If was to
get the position I must bid low, and

"1'm sorry was the reply, but we

: $4,000 Reward Standing Offer.

Is set aside by the American Philan-
thropic Society, of Chicago, for any
man on the face of the earth that re-
discovers and re-traces the lost art in
medicine which will dissolve and heal
structure. Until about 1891 there lived
in Providence, R. l., DR.. Graves, who
dissolved and healed structures with "a
liquid medicine. 1t had a mild taste
and looked like tea. 1t cured every
case of structure in about three weeks,
and this good physician seemingly left
no record of the prescription, as it is
supposed it was buried in the grave
with HIM.
In the year 1891 there was a certain
|. r. Matthews, of Norwood, Ohio, who
had little cocoa butter cylinder which
cured structures in about four weeks,
and it may he possible to trace either
one or both of these remedies.
There are plenty of living witnesses
to the above statement. 1t is known
to be q fact that there are about 80 per.
cent of mankind suffering silently with
structure, and not one is cured so for
humanity's sake we will give the above
reward to the person who can produce
the prescription of either Dr. Graves or
1T. Matthews.

The Study of Medicine.

The study of medicine is the study
of man and of his relations to his en-
vironment. 1t is the broadcast and
most useful of ali the professions. A
skiilful physician can find opportunity
for the employment of his highest skill
in ho1el as well us in palace. He
is alike welcomed by the king and by
the peasant. The eXactons of the ply
sicians calling are more severe than
those of any other profession. He
must be content to hold all his personal
plans for pleasure, profit or recreation
subject to the exigencies of many 9th
er lives as we'll as of his own. so that
his life must be less regular than that
of other men, He belongs to the social
fire department. He must often i'm
peril his health, even his life, to save
the health and lives of others. He
must be content with short life. But
all these disadvantages are induce
ments to the man who desires to live
up to the highest and noblest ideals.

Men and women WHO grow few
fine tomatoes in their own gardens for
their own use have long practiced
more or less pruning Of the vines.
Pruning is also practiced systcmatical-
ly when tomatoes are grown in hot
houses. AS rule, the field culture of
tomatoes.is not sufficiently remunera-
tive to make pruning profitable. Pro
fessor Munson found that pruning the
plants after part of the fruit had set
increased the yield more than one-thrd.
This was under conditions of field cul-
ture. 1t is possible that where the
market is good an increase of one-third
in the crop would pay for the work of
pruning.-Comtry Gentleman.

AT REST

Mrs. Anna Henneberg, wife of
Fred C. Henneberg, died last Saturday,
May 25 at her home on College Hill.
Heart trouble being the cause of her
death. Everything that kind friends
and the doctors skill could do, was
done for her. Mrs. Henneberg was
born in Norway in 1874 and came
to this country while still young girl.
She was married to Mr.. Henneberg in
1888. Four children were born to
them, three girls and one boy. She
was of a conservative disposition, and
was highly respected and much thought
of by her neighbors. She was. buried
from the German Luthern Church on
Monday, the Rev H. Wittrock
officiating.

Some waspS live in part upon honey,

moderate extent they may be regarded

the species of the genus pollstes store
up honey which is poisonous, from the
fact that it has been collected from
poisonous flowers. They are found In
South America, where also species of
the genus chartergus occur-wasps
that make a very remarkable and
tough nest, with funnel shaped combs
inside, arranged one inside of another
nest fashion, but not in contact ex-
cept at their points Of suspension. At
the apeXes of these cones occur the
apertures of entrance for the inmates

Don't quit!
This is motto which every man
who is interested in reform should
follow to the end. Do not get tired
Immediately after you have succeeded
in getting good law enacted. Don't
stop working till you see that law
in operation, and see that it is en-
forced. Do not stop because things
are not going just the way to please
you. Keep working.
One of the reasons why corporations
are saddling their taxes on the public
one Of the causes of political rings,
working graft, one of the chief aids
to municiple misrule is that the people
are not persistent enough. They
should keep at the work till what they
need is secured, and then work hard
to preserve these improved condi-
lions.
Remember the other side is work.
ing all the time. It's men employ
talent to find out new ways to avoid
the law. They hire brains to scheme
new ways of carrying out their aims.
They are not bashful about taking
advantage Of an opportunity. They
do not quit.
The best way to win from such
forces is to always be a move ahead.
If there is an ordinance, law, that
is incapable of being enforced, amend
that ordinance or law so that the
proper remedies may be employed.
Work all the time and do not quit.

They are Lacrosse, Winona, Endicott,
Diamond, Wilcox and Pullman

good attendance at the meetings and
all the farmers in that county are
working for the union. Brother Way
man said it would be only short
time until there will be a state Or

eastern states to set up and take no.
tice of Washington.
Organizer Cox is working in Gar
field county and from all reports will
probably have the first county organi-
cation to his credit.
Organizer Wayman in relating his
experience up the state said: You
cannot say too much of the success
of this work. The Washington
farmers intelligence is something to
be proud of and the manner in which
they are interesting themselves in
this work precludes all possibility of
a failure AS fast as locals are or
ganized they keep their shoulder to
the wheel and work of organization
goes steadily on. The farmers are
simply grasping an opportunity that
they have been seeking for many
years and in the near future they see
condition which they have never en-
joyed but which has justly b en- theirs.
All the local organizers are doing good
work and the prospects for effective
work are very bright. The Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union
will have "a state organization in
very short time, in fact just as
as rapidly organizers can cover the
territory. There was never such an
awakeing among agriculturalists and
| am now getting calls from all
points of the compass to perfect or
CARNATIONS. When | have the work
well under way in esatern Washington,
| will start the work west of the Cas-
cdaes. You understand that the fruit
grower and stockman is also eligible
to membership in the union and will
derive as much benefit as does the
grain grower.
The organization of a local at
Diamond had humorous feature.
Brother Wayman had passed up the
town temporarily owing to the fact
that it was quarintined against
small poX, and he had just arrived
at Endicott when he received a phone
! from o. c. Hamilton, brother
member, that number of farmers
were there waiting for the organizer.
This was about 2 O'Clock and to
drive the ten miles would consume
too much time. AS luck would have
it a freight train came rambling into
Endicott and stopped for water. This
: looked good to Wayman and he went
at the conductor in this way: "You
are aware that there are a number
of cases of small pox at Diamond?"
"Yes.' '.Well it is important that |
reach there Immediately, and | want
to go on this train "We are not
permitted to carry passengers, but in
case of sickness l suppose can sus-
pend the rules. Are you physi-
CLAMP WELL" said Wayman, 81
am treating the farmer just now. "
However the latter part of the con-
versation did not occur until the
train had reached Diamond. The
farmers were glad to see Wayman
and a strong local was organized.

SUMMER
SUGGESTIONS
VALUABLE AIDS FOR
THE SUMNER HOME.

Just about this time of the year,
everyone commences dreading the hot
days to come. 1t seems that society
is at standstill-no parties, dances,
musicals, etc.
Last summer Brown got to thinking
the summer question over Thoroughly.
He could not afford to go to a summer
resort. What could be done to make
the long summer days and evenings
bearable?
At last he hit upon scheme.
Eilers Piano House sold the Victor
Talking Machine, made in different
sizes, costing from $40 to $500. He
was little short; but noticed that
heidi not need to pay all cash but
could enjoy itwhile paying for it.
So he ordered one and a nice lot of
records-some old home songs ever
ss-ns
sweet like Annie Laurie, Old Kentucky
Home, also some comic recitations
and coon songs, then some Sousa's
Band selections. This is how Brown
solved the summer question.
You can DO the same; we will tell
you all about it and send you catalog
of machines, also one of records,
showing how many thousand pieces
you may hear at home. Write to
Eilers Piano House, Spokane, Wash,
and say you read this. Piano and
Organ Bargains for few days. Free
catalogs if you write.
