was interrupted by some one in the
crowd who called out: "You said you
would smash up the southern army in
ninety days. Why didn't you do it,"
At this there was a burst Of laughter
throughout the house, and many a gibe
was hurled at the speaker. MI. Beech

Parsley's Peculiar Power.

Dishes containing cold joints are

there any particular reason why pars-
ley should be the special herb used
for this purpose? Most people would
probably say that it was the peculiar

its claim. No doubt this is the reason
why we retain parsley for decorative
purposes. but 1t is believed that the

MERCHANTS RAISE $4,000.
People Have About Lost Faith In
Their Town When Business Men
Form a Chamber of Commerce and
Carry Out Vast Improvements.

General Arthur st. Clair founded
Hamilton, O., 100 years ago because he
was looking for a good site for a fort.
The old stockaded clearing on the
bank of the great Miami river grew
into a city of more than $4,000 people
because the place that st. Clair picked
out for a fort proved to be a good site
for a town.
In all these years Hamilton grew in
spite of herself and her people. All
manner of factions separated the pop
u~lation, and one-half the community
spent a good deal of its time knock
ing" the rest Of it. Nobody thought
of cooperation. Nobody dreamed that
it was possible.
Things weren't moving as they
should, people thought. The average
Hamiltonian had set his standard by
the flush days of '96, when the big
shops were all working overtime and
money could be had almost for the
asking. A spirit of depression got
into the air. People lost faith in their
town and faith in themselves.
Not long ago a few business men
began to diagnose the trouble and to
seek a remedy. They came to the con-
clusion that Hamilton had lost her
nerve. Let is get together they
said. Lets see if this town can't
