THE GOVERNMENTS FARCE.

Harness, the government meat in
spector who recently told of the farce
at East st. Louis in government in
spections and of rotten meat, has been
dismissed the service as any man will
be who dares say anything against the
real farce that exists. What would
people say if they generally knew that
right here in Staunton food stuffs are
branded by some of our merchants af-
ter the goods reach here.
The government inspector never saw
the goods, yet they are stamped SIN
spected by the government and pass
ed" If this be true, and we are relia-
bly, Informed it is true, and no secret
made of it, what does government in,
spection amount to? We learn the
manufacturers treat the inspection as
a joke and agree to stand between any
merchant and trouble, who will apply
the rubber stamp to the goods they
purchase.

Last year more wheat went to Eu-
rope from the port of Montreal than
from New York and all other Atlantic
seaports combined. Yet Montreal is a
comparatively long distance from the
ocean proper and $50 miles from the
nearest salt water.

The kind and watchful courts are
ALWAYS near their beloved railroads
The West Virginia statute requiring
the railroads in that State to charge
only two cents per mile and which the
the roads have been doing up until
now, has been declared confiscatory
by a court out there, and the ''confisca-
ted" road has regained its lost prop
erty by slipping in on a three cent
rate. We have heard OF no railroad
out there being bankrupted by the two
cent provision and on no other ground
can the law be held unconstitutional.
The question is one of actual proof, not
mere inference.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect Of Swamp-RO0t is
soon realized. It stands the highest be-

Although more than eighty Missouri
counties are "dry" and the Sunday
closing laws are enforced vigorously,
the month just closed shows greater
consumption of beer than any cores
ponding month since the creation OF
the office of beer inspector eight years
ago. This is but another proof that
prohibition does not prohibit.

Sweet Liberty.

Little Egbert one day observed his

about at school. ."-Delineator.
Circumstantial Evidence.
Clyde was an inquisitive youngster
whose propensity for getting into
scrapes was matched only by his
small sisters fertility of resources
for getting out of them. AS a tribute
to her cleverness he usually shifted
the blame of his misdemeanors. One
evening there was much excitement
and fun among the older members of
the family behind closed doors.
Clyde, of course, was all curiosity.
He battered the door, "he huffed and
he puffed," and finally when the door
was opened from inside the little man
sprawled headlong into the room.
Before making any attempt to get up
he gasped out the usual, 1T wathn't

displeased him immensely, and he
was debating inwardly how best to

So He Didn't.

Little George, aged three and a
half years; owns a rocking horse,
which he does not care much for.
One day his aunt was looking at a
Christmas book and turned to q pic
ture OF little boy on a rocking horse.
A little girl was standing back of the
horse pulling its tail. Georges aunt
said: George, come and look at
this little boy on a rocking horse
just like yours, and having such a
good time; why don't you care for
yours?" George looked at it for a
minute, considering an answer, then
turned away indifferently, saying, al
don't have any little girl to pull his

her cheeks and reminded him of a

OF that rush Of longing.

COUNTRY LIFE PRIZES.

Without Parish Help.

Two wonderful records of country
life were revealed yesterday at the
Lincolnshire agricultural show at
Louth.

situations for the longest time.
The former was won by Robert
Bonner, of SleafOrd. He had seen his
family of sixteen out of work, keen
ing them by his own efforts until they
were old enough to go out. John
