Should Keep Name in Papers.

No business man in any town should
allow newspaper published in his
town to 60 without his name men.
toned somewhere in its columns
This applies to all kinds of business,
general stores, dry goods stores, gro
ceFies, furniture dealers, professional
men and in fact. all classes of bus
mess men. This does not mean that
you shall have a whole or over a quar-
ter of page ad in every issue, but
that your name and business should
DE mentioned if you do not use more
than a two-line space. A stranger
coming to town and picking up a
newspaper should be able to tell just
what business is represented in town
by looking at the business mentioned
in the paper. This is the best posi-
ole town advertising. The man who
does not advertise his business does an
injustice to himself and his town. He
is man who expects the paper to do
most Of the boaSting of his town.
The life of any town depends upon
the live, wide-awake and liberal bus
mess men i'm it.-EuStiS Lake. Fla,

Our Railways and Others.

The United States has $1,000
more miles railway,than all Eu-
rope. This excess. iwould reach
twice about the world.
Our railroads carry a little less
freight than those of Europe, but
roll up more than twice as many
ton-miles. In 1912 the ton-mile
record in America was 267, 1885,
100000 of all Europe 1T, 347,-
100000.
American railroads ssreceive 20
per cent. more freight revenue
than European, the ton-mile rate
being much lower. Passenger
revenue is 20 per cent. less; the
total slightly greater.
The railway propertyiIof the
world as a whole is not very pro-
fitable. Much of it is built s,sfor
political or military reason. The
United States, Germany, Canada,
Japan and British India have the
most profitable railways. In It.
ally the net revenue iss only LIT
per cent. of the capital; in Den
mark 1.33. The average for the
world is less than A per cent.
The costilest railways are the

ans, who deducts railwayssstock

American railways killed. in

all visitors to Monte Carlo to go to the
suicides cemetery before those other

Here, in close proximity to garden

out any kind of religious ceremony.
Each grave is marked by an up

than that by which gardeners mark
their seeds, and on which Is painted a
number, nothing more. Apart from
these are stakes driven into the ground
which mark as yet unappropriated
spots The Undesirable dreariness of
the scene Is heightened by two monu-
mental stones garlanded with wreaths
and surrounded by flowers. The first

There are poor gamesters as well as

AN UNPUBLISHED NOVEL.

eurnaby's Handwriting Was So Bad Il
Could Not Be Read.
1t was stated at the time Of Colonel
Burnaby's death that he had left be-
hind him the manuscript of novel for
which there was considerable competi-
ton among the publishers.
This is quite true. The manuscript,
bulky parcel, was handed to me
with discretionary power either to pub
fish it myself or to use it in connection
with the proposed biography.
Here a singular and, as it finally
proved. a fatal obstacle presented It
self. Familiar for many years with
Burnaby's handwriting, I could not
after diligent endeavor make out more
than a sentence here and there on the
crowded page of manuscript.
Burnaby's writing was, possibly with
the exception of Dean Stanley's, the
worst l ever saw. 1t looked as if be-
fore sitting down to write letter he
had pulled a twig out Of the hedge.
mixed a little backing and then gone
ahead.
He wrote the whole Of his ride to
Khiva" and his "Ride on Horseback
Through Asia Minor with his own
hand But before they reached the
printer they were fairly written out by
a copyist.
The hapless man used to make out
as much as he could. then leave blanks
for filing up which he had to seek the
assistance of the author. Sometimes
there were more blanks in page than
words.
Despairing of making anything Of
the manuscript of the novel. it was
submitted to a publisher, who turned
upon it his most skillful decipherist.
Neither head nor tail could be made
Of the manuscript. and the intention
of publishing the novel was conse-
quently abandoned.-Sir II. W. Lucy

Hindu Weddings and BuriaIs.

The expenses of a Hindu wedding
come upon the brides father. and they
are so great that family sometimes is
ruined or impoverished for many years

The County Candidate.

He cometh forth like a flower in
the early morning. sweet, re-
freshing and entertaining; he
retires at the end of the cam
paign, tired, dusty, quiet and
busted.
In the early part of his cam
paign, his friends fill him up
with water, hope and the gener-
al atmosphere. Thus early in
the campaign, he swelleth up
like a toad, he walketh abroad in
the land like he owned the earth,
and as though all things were
his'n.
He smiles upon all men and
woman kind, and sloppeth over
with good humor and pleasant
jokes. He kisseth the children
and scatters microbes among the
innocent babies of the country.
Privately speaking he cheweth
cloves when he meeteth a preach
err, and as he converseth with
him in pious tones. he standeth
to the leeward and curbeth his
breath with a strong bite, talks
of the fallacy of infant baptism
to one, advocates immersion to
another, and approves close COM
munion to all.
He slappeth a man on the back
in love and friendship, shakes
the hand of the pretty woman
and begs the support of both.
He goeth home late at night to
his weary wife and with berry
breath, he hiketh forth without
breakfast saying: Zone of my
strong supports is down in town
and | must needs see him before
he getteth away"
He is gone but short time,
but long enough to have his leg
pulled and the dead-beat made
happy. He giveth literally to
the church, he contributedito the
man whose house is burned, he
bestoweth aims, he signeth a
note for a friend, he sendeth a
small keg hither andsa large keg
thither, he yielded upl.his SUBJ
stance with apparent alacrity, he
sitteth in the amen corner at
church, grunts with the breth-
rem, and sings 'AmazingsGrace,'
as dolefully as if he was at
tending funeral in the Mississ-
ippi swamps. In one neighbor-
hood he is a Methodist; in anoth-
er Baptist, in another aiChris-
tian; in another a Catholic; in
another sinner. He walketh
through the corn and tobacco
fields, sitteth on the fence, he
talketh of the corn, wheat and
tobacco, he sitteth on a log in
the woods, and speaks of the
wonderful growth of the forests
and the richness of the land.
He tells secrets to nearly ev-
cry body he meets and talks of
his opponents and tells the
voters of the short comings of
his opponents, but impresses
upon the importance of keeping
it a secret.
This goes on from the day he
announces himself a candidate
until the close of the election.
After the election, with al
downcast countenance, he goeth
back Of the barn away out in the
field, where nobody can see him,

OperadOns.

OpGraElOn9s
Wearing elastic and spring trusses
year after year is almost sure to
shorten your life
You can't make them hold, even
when drawn so tight you can scarcely
stand to keep them on.
They usually let you get worse all
the ume-that'S why every year they
are forcing thousands of people into
undergoing operation.
They are simply a crime-suueeze
gne rupture, often causing Strangula-
tlon-d1g into the pelvic bone in front
press against the spinal column at
the back-make life miserable for
nearly everybody who wears them
The Plain Truth Is This
You can't possibly get VveII-can't
even keep from getting wOrse-unless
your rupture is constantly held In place.
Just as a broken bone can't knit unless
held securely together.
And just as a bandage or sDIfnt is
the only way a broken bone can he
held, so the right kind of truss is the
only thing in the world that can keep
rupture from coming out and growing
worse
You'll feel like a new person from
the day you put on that kind of truss.
But you know as well as we that
you'll never find such a sure-tO-hOld
truss at any drugstore.
Yet it is easy enough to get And
you can test it firstly sixty days trial
without having to risk a single cent
It's the famous CIuthe Truss or
Cluthe Automatic Massager-absOlutely
guaranteed to hold, and won't cost you
a cent if it doesn't.
It's so utterly different from every
thing else for rupture that it has re-
ceived eighteen separate patents.
Made of an entirely new principle.
Instantly and automatically protects
you against every strain so your rup-
ture can't possibly be forced out. Self
regulating, seIf-adjusting. Far more
than just a truss.
In addition to constant holding it
provides the only way ever discovered
for overcoming the weakness which is
the real cause of rupture.
Just how it does that-entireIy au-
how it has thus com
pletely cured hundreds and hundreds of
people whose cases seemed almost
hopeIess-is all explained in the free
book which the coupon below will
bring you.
No BeIt-NO LeS-Straps-NO Springs
The CIuthe Truss does away with the
curse of belts. leg-straps, and springs.
Thousands say it is as comfortable as
their clothing. 1t is water-proof-w-iu
