The cenauetor COURTEOUS.

ST Johns, n F.-some of the natives
call it '.Senjens"-is far more pictur-
esgue than beautiful. But its quaint
ness redeems it from stupidity, and,
wander where you will, you meet with
that courtesy and kindness that are
the graccs OF people who live unhurried
lives in remote places where strangers
are welcome Break to their monoto-
ny. When you say to some casual ben
efactor that you are much obliged
for some courteous direction, he will
touch hts hat and say, Thank you," as
if you had conferred the favor upon
him. The street car conductor they
even have trolley line, though how 1t
can be run in winter is q mystery will
see that you are set down where you
should leave the car and, IL you are
uncertain Of your way, will get off his
car and point your destination out,
holding his other passengers until he is

|NTERURBAN LINES To
REPORT To COMMISSION
Notice to This Effect Will
Soon Be Served.
THE SYSTEM is ADOPTED.

The Indiana Railroad commission is
preparing to notify the interurban lines
of the state to make their annual re-
ports to the commission, using the sys-
tenn of accounting promulgated by the
Street Railway Accountants associa-
tion of America. The electric roads
will continue to report under that sys-
tenn until a system is promulgated by
the interstate commerce commission
as provided by law. 1t is estimated
that fully ten months or year will be
required in forming new system of
accounting for the interurbans. The
work of promulgating the new system.
adopted July 1, for the steam roads,
under a ruling of the interstate COM
merce commission, required ten
months. twenty-five men were at
work Interurbans will not begin re-
porting to the Indiana commission for
a year.

WHERE THERE is so MUCH
SMOKE THERE is AL
WAYS SOME FIRE.

When people talk about one thing
and keep on talking as they do about
the discovery that created so much
newspaper comment in Richmond and
other cities during the past summer,
even though many reports may be ex-
aggerated, there must DE some merit
in the discovery, and when people
spend their money for a thing and
then buy more of it, proof of merit is
so convincing that it becomes the du-
ty of every person in need of Root
Juice to go to Luken'S drug store and
get bottle of this much talked of
remedy Root Juice cures rheumatism
and catarrh because it puts the filter
ing machines of the body to work and
causes them to filter the impurities of
the blood. Root Juice cures stomach
and bowel troubles because it re-
moves irritated and liberated condi-
tons from the mucous Innings and
causes a natural flow of digestive flu
ids. Root Juice is so good for female
weakness because it tones and heals
the organs that make and filter blood.
Good, rich blood will nourish and
strengthen every weak part of the
body. Root Juice at Luken's drug
store. 81 a bottle. 'Uze-it' Pain Oil
for all aches, pains, cuts, bruises and
sprains. Relieves nervous headache,
neuralgia and toothache in two min
utes. Csc a bottle.

The Doom OF LONDON.

The question, What will be the
doom of London?" seems a not unrea-
sonable one. What will be the end of
the great city? What will bring about
the ruin over which Macaulays New
Zealander is to cast his moralizing eye:
Several answers may be given. The
destruction of London at the hands of
a victorious invader is possible, but ex-
tremely improbable. London may be
besieged. even bombarded; she cannot
be destroyed.
Flood? This again may be dismissed
as most improbable, and one calamity
only remains to be considered, namely
fire.
Now London has suffered more than
once terribly from this cause, and in
1866 the city was practically wiped
out. Every one knows this. But it is
not every one who knows that the
great coniiagration was predicted ff-
teen years before by Lilly, the astrolo-
ger, and by another astrologer, Nos
tradamus, century before that. Nos
tradamus cast his prediction in .
French quatrain, the gist of which was
that in 1856 London would be visited
by confiagration which would destroy
