An exchange says tand its observa-
tions apply to alb: There should be
no faction in any city. The property
of one individual and every improve
ment made enhances the value of all
property in the corporation. Our
city is simply one big family. When
there is discord there is little pro-
gress. When there is united pull
for anything, its accomplishment is
made easy. Envy, jealousy and ha-
tired are things to be despised. Envy
is q canker that gnaws at the heart
and makes folks sour, disgruntled
and unhappy. Jealousy warps the
intellect and makes us unfair in pass
ing Judgment Hatred doesn't pay,
even from a sOrdid point Of view.

Young Men Who Did Battle.

Many persons wonder that there
are almost half million surviving
soldiers of the civil war, considering
that it is forty-eight years since it
ended. The reason lies in the fact
that 1t was a young mans war, rs the
following official statistics as to the
age of men as they enlisted will
show:
The Meeker herald., 1909-07-17

These figures include re-enlist-
ments of which there was almost q
100000, but it can easily be seen that
this WAS practically boys war since
only small percentage were ~ years
of age and over, and these must, to II
large entent, have enlisted pre-
viOusly. 1t is estimated that II the
1893 be taken rs starting point,
since it was the middle OF the war,
the average age of the soldier was
about ~ years, which would make
him 68 at the present. That is fair
age, but not old by any means, and 1t
ought to be remembered that those
who served through a campaign and
came out, it showed virility which
indicated u promise of living beyond
the normal-Philadelphia Inquirer.

That's Just NY Luck.

..That's Just my luck said pessimist Bill,
When his wagon stuck on the side of the
hill.
He was half asleep and he did not see
The rut In the road by the old oak tree.
Had Bill been alert with his load OF truck
He never would have said, That's Just
my luck
When his COW was killed by an old freight
train,
That's Just my luck said poor Bill
again.
Now the fact Is this: there's a broken gate
That Bill failed to fix TIL II was too late,
And so the old COW with an old cows pluck
strnyed of to the track Just to bring Bill

ST0PPED YOUR PAPER?

Som time az 3 cranky sort of individual came into this office and stopped his D 7per because something in 1t did not suit his fancy. We have frequently met him on the street since then, and 1t is amusing to note the look of surprise on the old fellows face when he realized that the editor is still in existence.
 Some day, however and it will not be long-that the old gentleman will turn up his toes. His heart will be stilled for ever. There will be a display of pretty posies and crepe and the neighbors and friends will follow his lifeless clay out to the Silent City and lay it to rest in the deep, dark tomb.
 An obituary will be published in this paper, telling what kind husband, loving father, good neighbor, beloved citizen, and how progressive and public spirited he was which the re- cording angel will'over-look for sweet charity's sake-and in short time he will be forgotten.
 And as he lies out ,there in the cold, cold, grave yard. wrapped in the slumber of death. he will never know the last kind work spoken of him was by the editor of the paper which he so spite fully stopped. "-Ohio Leader.

STATE MOURNS
 G0V. JOHNSON
Railroads and Factories Stop Five Minutes in Silent Tribute to.
 Gov. Johnson.

St. Peter, Minn., Sept. 23. - The body of Governor John A. Johnson was buried in the family lot in GreenhilIs cemetery here this afternoon, in d grave adjoining that of his mother. The body was brought here from St, Paul in a special train, which arrived at 1:45 p. m. The funeral cortege, escorted by state militia and representatives of state and civic organizations, proceeded to the Presbyterian church where the body lay in state and was viewed by hundreds of citizens of St. Peter for an hour and a half before the religious services were held. Rev. k. E. Clark read the sermon, using the text: Know ye not that prince and a great man has fallen this day?'
 The funeral was attended by hundreds of distinguished men from Minnesota and other states.
 Not only at St. Peter but throughout the entire state was the day of mourning observed. Between 3 and 3:05 o'clock every railroad and city railway train in the state stopped running and every commercial and manu- featuring activity rested Tn silent tribute. All of the state schools. were closed by permis- sion. Members of the state Senate and House of Represen- tatives present at the funeral jointly adopted resolutions ex- tolling the life and deploring the death of Governor Johnson.
 In St. Paul a movement al- ready has been started to furnish by popular subscription a statue of Governor Johnson, to be placed in the state capitol.

4 MORE PRACTICAL WAY

 Well, you take four or five chestnuts, name them each after some man you know, and then put them in the stove, and the first one pops is the one that loves you.
 "H'm," said Sophie. Il know a better way than that. y

 ''Yes, indeed. By my plan you take one partic ular man, place him on the sofa in the parlor, sit close to him with the light little low and look into his eyes. And then, if he does not pop, you'll know it's time

AN AK TO GRIND.

When I was a little boy, says Benjaman Franklin, rem ember one cold winter morning l was accosted by smiling man with an ax on his shoulder.
 My pretty boy, "said he, has your father a grindstone?'
 Yes ST." said 1.
 You are a fine little fellow, " said he; will you let me grind my ax on it?"
 Pleased with the compliment fine little fellow" "Oh, Yes, sir," answered; it is down in the shop"
 And will you. my man." said he, batting me on the head, get me a little hot water?"
 How could 1 refuse? l ran and soon brought a kettleful.
 'I am sure" {" continued he, ''vou are one of the finest lads that ever I have seen; will you just turn a few minutes for mel"
 Pleased with the fiattery, l went to work; and l toiled and I toiled and tugged till l was al- most tired to death. The school bell rang, and I could not get a. way: my hands were blistered, and the ax was not half ground.

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use Of
Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges
Trial Package Sent Free

Do not go among your friends with
breath so odlouS as to make your
presence distasteful. Foul breath is
capable of easy removal If you will
take a little time to overcome it. Gen
orally foul breath comes from one of
two causes, impure gases or foul di-
gestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent
of foul gases known. 1t positively at
tracts poisons and neutralizes their evil
effects.
A noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to kill three men
and with a teaSpoonfu1 of charcoal re-
moved the bad effects of this terribly
swift poison.
A little charcoal in a bedroom or
cellar will make foul air pure. Pure
willow charcoal mixec with honey are
the component parts of Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges and pure breath is the
result of their use after meals. Simply
dissolve two or three after meals and
at bed time and foul breath fees at
once. No ma tier how you cause these
gases, whether by bad food, alcohol or
abuse of the stomach, Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges will stop gas making and
sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating of a box would cause you no
Inconvenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach, because it must be strong and
pure, and most people will not take it
unless made palatahIe. Stuart's inimit-
able process presents charcoal to the
sired
Choice virgin willow is burnt into
desirable charcoal; this is mixed with
pure honey, and the combination Is
compressed under tremendous power
into lozenge of great pleasantness
and efficiency.
Don't let your bad breath make
people cross the street to avoid you. Go
to the nearest drug store and buy a
box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to-
day and eat what you will. Two or
three after the meal will sweeten your
breath at once. If you want proof of
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. a.

RAILROAD BUILDERS
Former Secretary of Southern
Pacific Prepares to ChrOn=
icIe His Experiences

Joseph L. Willcutt, who has retired
from the service of the Southern Pa
cific railroad company as secretary. will
put into effect, it is said, a resolution
made years ago to write a history of
his connection with the railroad, which
extends over a period of more than 43
years.
Willcutt came to this city in 1852
and, after a short business career. en-
tered the employ of the railroad peo-
pie. He was on terms of the closest
intimacy with the original builders of
the Central Pacific and the Southern
Pacific. His mind is a perfect store
house of the history of the good old
tunes, and when in a reminiscent mood
he VIII relate many thrilling incidents.
Willcutt acted as paymaster for the
old San Francisco and San Jose rail-
road company, and had to go to the
terminus of the line about the first of
the month to pay off the men, When
the road reached PaIo Alto Will
cutt sent word that he would be there
on a certain day
Joaquin Murietta was then troubling
the country and having learned that
Willcutt would be on the road made
plans TO intercept him. Willcutt was
delayed in the city and therefore
escaped Murietta, who subsequently, ex-
pressed great disappointment at not
being able TO relieve Willcutt of the
contents Of the pay chest
Willcutt also organized the nresent
Market street railroad system and was
one OF its first general superintendents
