Reflections of a Bachelor.

From the New York Press,
People are awful rich when they
aren't afraid to go to a wedding in a
street car.
A good way to make the furnace
burn well is to have warm spell OF
weather.
The best way for woman to pre-,
serve her ideals about man is not to
marry him,
A woman would rather have her
husband lie about how he likes to go
to church and not DO It than to so and
admit the truth.

All this creates new problems which

Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Alaskan Citizen Can Afford

 DANGER SIGNAL NO.2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kid neys and warn you of the coming of dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease. Dosn's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently.
 Mrs. A. c. Mueller, of IT. Dearborn St., Seattle, Wash, says: Five years ago, my little boy became afflicted with a weakness of the kidneys and bladder. The trouble grew more severe as time went by and although we doctoreo con tinually and gave him different medi- cines. the trouble still remained. A friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and while had little faiCh in medicine, we got box and the boy be- gan using them.

POWER OF THE PRESS

Commenting upon the power of the Press, Henry Watterson says the editor of an influential dsily.newspaper If he will refrain from being a candi- date for office or a desire to personally profit in politics, himself, can break sny public man in his state if the man IS no, what a public man should be.
 Col. Watterson speaks truly, but his definition of the power of the Press" is no. that which many careless pub li,hers and editors understand it to be. He would have it known that 8 news paper is powerful only when it speaks The truth: that it can whip sham; that i; can discover fraud: that it can aurihilate wrong doing, but that it canuot, for very long, make any Of these successful.
 Experleuce justifes the limitation which the great editor places upon the power of those who follow his pro tessiou. There is but one weapon with which an editor is all powerful and that Is TRUTH. The influence of a newspaper man depends upon Ire dil- igeuce and disiu,eresedness with which he handles this weapon.
 Politicians have often said that iu a republic newspapers make and unmske men. That is true in part only. Men are'made and unmade by themselves and The public. The newspapers give pub licity to the man. The public accepts him, If he makes good he is made man" line shall act in such 8 way that the telling of the truth about his actions prove him to by shsm,a fraud, g self-Seeker or a tool of others more able than himself, the people will uumake him as soon as the newspapers place them in possession of the truth.
 The work of the newspaper is to make the facts kown to the peOpe. The paper that does that fesrlessly and accurately and constantly is powerful.

MEXICO TO TAKE RAILROADS

The republic Of Mexico will have government ownership and operation of railroads. All Of the great trunk lines in that country are being taken over by the federal government When they shall have become the property ot the government and the management vel. established It is proposed to take over the branch lines and local roads. The plan is to have every mile Of railrosd iu the nation nstiouslized within a decade. The street railways, ,elegrsphs, telephones, water systems etc. are also marked for public ownership.
 This work can be done readily tn Mexico for the reason that DO franchise or concession has been granted to s railroad or other public service corpo- ration in thatcountry that does not con tain 8 clause that iE can become public property st the option of the govern uen;. There are uo vested rights that will keep courts busy for several de cades after the people have voted for pubic ownership.
 There has been no opportunity given the corporations Of Mexico to do as the public service corporations are doing in Chjcago. The people of the last named city have voted for municipal owner ship ou several occasions. The fran ch.se holders have, however, appealed 10 the courts to protect their vested rights" They propose to keep the question at issue long enough to disgust ,ue people, whom they hope to induce to reverse LheIr former verdict. Let the secure the administration once and they vii, .n.rench themselves so that they can stand the people of for another prolonged attack. If they can carry one election and get city administration that Is subseryient to their interests once iu 10 or I5 years they hope 10 re .ain their railways and other franchises forever

BLUE GRASS AND CANADA THIS.

Iowa farmers have taken the bull by

We a V got to make a front attack on
weeds by cutting them down before

Frequently a blue grass pasture will

as the name implies, comes from Can
