Letter to r. W. Chandler
OKOLONA, MISS.

Dear Sir; No man is in position to
influence men with regard to their
property more than you in that little
room where they tell you their troub.
les. Pity, if you don't know how to
keep house dry and sUund, any sort
of structure, house, store, factory,
warehouse shop, barn, fence-aDysort
of fence, except rail; with paint.
What paint2 The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in
cludes the rest, One paint wears
long, another wears short; but the
one that wears long is the least gal
Ions paint; least-gallons means pure
and strong, and NOTIFICATIONS means
adulterated and weak, besides small
gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the business
of making it; no, the bueiness of paint
taking care OF property. Paint is
worth great deal more than it cost,
and the best costs least: Devoe.
Yours truly

A Penny Saved,

When Benjamin Franklin wrote "A penny saved is q penny earned" he did not mean q penny skimped from our daily living or from our necessi- ties. That is not "a penny saved' in the best sense. It is penny stolen from yourself. A penny saved is q penny rescued from waste. An hour taken from needed sleep is not an hour saved, but an hour stolen. An hour taken from idle gossip and turned te some good account-that is an hour saved And it is the same way With our money and our products. There is no economy in self denial. 1t is tie duty of every man and woman to live the fullest and best life possible to get the most they can cut of life, to nourish the body and mind and soul and to develop them to the highest possible degree. This cannot be done by skimping. Economy is necessary, but we must not mistake what econ nny is. We must save the wastes, stop the leaks; but, having saved. we must put our savings to some good use, else we are like the 1niser with his .sold--a detrilnent to society instead Of Exchange.

Costly Keys.

One thousand seven hundred pounds was the sum given by Count Ada,phe de Rothschild for what may be saii to be the most valuable key in the world. It is marked with the arms of the Strozzi family and is believed to be the work of the great Italian artist Benvenuto Cellini, who flourished in the sixteenth century. The key is chis- eled out of a block of steel, presenting two grotesque female figures and orna- mented with various masks and scrolls Another costly key, which formerly be- longed to the Medici family. is in the South Kensington museum. London. The upper part of the bow rests upon a square temple inclosing standing figure, exqnisitely chiseled, holding d shield. The pipe consists of column with Corinthian capital.

The London Police Whistle.

What is tue most powerful weapon man can carry against the possible dangers of nocturnal London? For general utility and for special emer- gencies you cannot-at least such is one night ramblcr's experimentation the ordinary police whistle. In addi- ton to its services as q cab caler-onc for a growler, two for q hansom-there are times, happily extremely rare, when it may prove q tower of strength. One such occasion the writer can re call. About two hours after midnight in a quiet byway. An agitated elderly gentleman at an open door, which he is afraid to enter. The lock has been forced, and within may be-burglars! Have you seen policeman? No. But three blasts on the whistle and the de- serted pavement swarms with them From every corner one arrives, and the house is surrounded. The home @oirg citizen knows not by what forces l,e is oaeompassed till he sounds that whistle in his or some one else's emer- genry.-Ioudon Standard.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Inccasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

Strong and Healthy.
 All the blood in the body passes fY1rough the kidneys once every skGee minutes. The kidneys filter alse blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 300 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the ealood. This brings on many dis ceases and symptoms in the Gaack. headache, nervousness, not, dry skin, rheumatism, Sout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and near ug, dizziness, irregular heart, de- Ailitv, drowsiness, Gropsy, deposits III the urine, etc. But of you keep lhe filters right you will have no irnnble with your kidneys.

MONEY AND THE WEST.

Bradstreet's report Of bank clear.
ings for the week ending Sept. 5
shows rather remarkable decrease
in the east, but not so remarkable
even as the increase In the west.
Compared with the previous week
New York loses over 50 per cent,
Boston has decrease OF over Is per
cent and Philadelphia decrease CT
little over five per cent. The only
western city that has a decrease is
San Francisco, which loses out to the
extent OF two per cent Kansas CITY
shows an increase of 10 per cent and
all other western cities show good
increases.
The interesting part of the whole
affair is that New York is coming
west to borrow money and is paving
six and seven per cent for 1t. Here.
tofore the west has been practically
at the mercy of New York whenever
1t came crop moving time. This
year every man in the west is his
own banker, SO far as moving crop is
concerned. 1t is a notable fact that
the only talk of hard times or a
panic comes from New York and
this can be traced very plainly to
the lack of desire on the part of the
good public to buy any New York
gold bricks at present.
II Greeley people want to know
something about the prospect of a
panic here just 90 to the local bank.
ers and learn that there is 81, 800, Oo1
on deposit here in spite of the fact
that farmers have been drawing all
summer on their bank account to
keep agoing until harvest time.
just wait until three or four months
from now and see the deposits shoot
up to 81, 500, 600. The only danger
Of panic is among the New York
speculators, who may actually have
to go to work.

ALL SHOUT HuRRAH.

At last the soft water system fof
Greeley is completed and everybody
is heaving a sigh Of satisfaction.
Not the least of these is the men
that have been working nearly every
evening and good share of the day
time the past two years in bringing
about this result 1t Is doubtful IL
the city officials will ever be given
the credit due to them for this piece
of work. There has been a great
deal of unfair criticism of these men
because of apparent lack of expidi-
tion of the work, but we believe this
has been largely due to misunder
standing OF the real conditions o.
things The Tribune has kept in as
close touch with the situation, |
probably, as any individual outside
of the city council and it cannot find
one instance where there has been
neglect or intention to shirk work on
the part of the officials. We believe
also that it is a remarkable instance
of honesty in public service where so
large an amount of money could be
judiciously without any
private graft.
The Tribune is proud of having
stood staunchly by the officials
throughout in spite of criticisms and
joins most heartily with everybody
else now in shouting hurrah for the
new water works.
