AN EDITORS EXPERIENCE.
Divides Up Old Subscriptions Into
Seven Different Classes.

counts on subscription list gives
the editor a good insight into
the various people. Our exper-
fence along this line have beer
pleasant, laughable, humorous
and exasperating. From oul
experience up to present we
have divided those paying up
into the following seven class
es
First, there are those who pay
up, add another years suhscrip-
ton and tell you how much they
appreciate the paper and how
they would hate to be without
it, they are friends.
Second, there are those who
pay up a year ahead, apologize
ing for making you wait, and
thanking you fo- being so &C
commodating, They are gentle
men.
Third, there are those who
pay up aud continue their paper.
They are square honest men.
Fourth, and in a class below
the others, come those who af~
ter paying the editor several
dollars that might have pulled
him out of many a hole in days
gone by when they were first
due tell yon he has no i'll will
against you and your paper for
trying to get money, but that he
does not desire it any longer.
These are unjust and unrecipro-
eating.
Fifth, in a class by himself
comes the man who pays up as
If he feels that you are robbing
him, tells you your paper is no
good, criticises your method Of
doing business aud hasteus to
stop his paper. These are men
whose obituaries we would be
pleased to write, if were not for
the fact that the editors are
supposed to say nice things
about dead ones. We would
dub them soreheads.
Sixth. there is also the man
who is important in his day and
generation. The man who has
beer in business and consequent
ly chtnks he knows a few things,
and who tells you that you don't
carry on your business proper
ly, points out your errors with
6endlsh glee, tells what he would
do if he we're running a paper,
and caps the climax by stopping
his paper. This man, in spite
of the fact that by some odd
accident he has managed to
s:rape along during his life
time. we would cbristen a block
head.
Seventh, is usually the meas
ly bunch of deadheads that
hamper every business, and add
thousands OF dollars to the
wrong side of the ledger of
many an honest man every year,
the man who has taken your
paper for a number of years but
no " refuses it without pay. A
comprehensive search through
the utmost limits of our vocabu-
larry failed to reveal an epitaph
sufficiently appropriate to this
scamp but we expect that he
will get his reward by and BY
Lakeland News.

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

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 800 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood This brings on many
diseases and symptOms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, disor-
ders of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Chas. Goldsworthy, retired, living on
Hoard St., Mineral Point, Wis, says:
Il have been practically unfit to do any
work for over five years as result OF
kidney trouble and rheumatism. Dur
ing the past five months | was troubled
by a retention Of the kidney secretiOns,
accompanied by dull pains in my back.
| tried great many remedies but did
not receive relief from any Of them and
when my attention was drawn to Doan' s
Kidney Pills, went to Ivey's Pharmacy
and procured box. [ have had but
little pain since using this remedy, my
kidneys act more naturally and [ feel
better in every way. [ give Doan's
Kidney Pills my hearty endorsement at
every opportunity.

Church as Strong Now as Ever
Before.

[ think that the ChristiOn church is as
strong now as it has ever been; but il
ought to grown in comparison with the
increasing population, says a woman
writer in THE DELINEATOR for January
in commenting on What the Matter
with the Churches?" Why does it not!
We are not sufficiently devout. But we
must begin at the foundation, and what
is that?
1t is the Christian home, which must
be the constant foundation of the
church. If the children do not receive
the true Christian training at home the
church means nothing to them. If the
parents are religious only, LACKING in
the fine principles Of honor, integrity
and the Golden Rule, the child becomes
quickly conscious of it and wants none
of their religion or church.
If we would have the Christian church
a continuous power for good we must
educate the child to become a true
Christian parent.

Prosperity and Discomfort.

Hudson Star Observer: We hear a
lot Of late about prosperity, and there
is an abundance Of it abroad in the
land, but what means this discomfort?
Why these strikes and rumors of great

always unreasonable and idiotic. If
they are getting a fair divide, why
are they striking? Something is wrong,
we fear. we are not here to say exact
Iy what the wrong is, but all is not

How One Doctor Successfully
Treats Pneumonia.

I'm treating pneumonia, says DR..
W. J. Smith, of Sanders Ala, "the only
remedy l use for the lungs is Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. While, of course, Iwould treat
other symptoms with different medicines, I
have used this remedy many times in my medi-
cal practice and have yet failed to find case
where it has not controlled the trouble. I have
used it myself, as has also my wife for coughs
and colds repeatedly, and most willingly and
cheerfully recommend it as superior to any
other cough remedy to my knowledge" For

The Central Bank.

New York Sun, Ind. Rep: The Sun
will always oppose a central bank of
issue. Such bank is intended by the
monetary commission. The policy of
that body, as now formally disclosed by
Senator Aldrich, points to no other
consummation. It is our conviction
that a central bank of issue bearing the
same relation to the money of this
country that the banks of France and of
England bear the money of those coun-
tries would prove a national evil. This
country is additionally and tempera-
mentally unsuited to such an institu-
ton.
