Mother Always Keeps It Handy.
“My mother suffered a long 1
time from distressing pains and (
general ill health due primarily to 1
indigestion,’' says L. \V. Spalding •
Verono, Mo. “Two years ago 1 '
got het to try Kodol. She grew
better at once and now, at the age 1
of seventy-six, eats anything %he

Ivodol rests the stomach and

A negro criminal condemned to

then wished that he had saved his

The Meat Trust.
It is somewhat suggestive that
while the President is strenuous- j
ly prosecuting the beef trust the
four grout packing companies are
perfecting arrangements to organ
ise a trust under the accommodat
! ing laws of New Jersey that will
| exceed in power and wealth any
that has heretofore existed. The
capital is placed at one billion
dollars. When this scheme is
perfected and the managers there
of think it may be to their inter
est to do so, we may see the
tables turned and the meat trust
prosecuting the government, for
they know how to do it effectual
ly. In the mean time the packers
do not seem to be disturbed in
the least by the President’s alleg-|
ed legal proceedings. On the
contrary it seems to have stimn-j
luted them to greater effort to!
control the meat market the of
world.

A Question of Brains.
A clergyman was traveling in a
mining country and encountered
mi olu irishman turning a wind
lass which hauled up ore out of a
shaft. It was his work to do this
all day lopg. Iiis hat was off,
and the sun poured down on his

“Don’t you know the sun will
injure your brain if you expose it
in that mauuei ?” said the good
man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat
off liis forehead and looked at the
elerygnian.
“Do ye think I'd be doing this
all day if I had any brains?” he
said, and he gave the handle an
other turn.—Tit-Bits.
Stand Together.
The only way to build up a
town is for each and every man
to pull together and not strive to
rend and tear down. All the resi
dents of a town are partners and
not opponents. In all likelihood
the more business done by your
rival the moio you will do. Every
merchant who treats his custom
er honestly and fairly will get his
share of the trade, and the more
business that can be secured by
united effort, the better it will be
for all. When a town ceases to
grow it commences to die, and
the more people try to kill each
other off in their business and
good name the more rapidly will
rum come to all. Stand together
tor the advancement of every cit
izen, and if a man shows ability
to prosper do not pull him hack
with jealousy or weigh him down
with eoid indifference.—Ex.

Some editors are too unusually
observing. One in Hardin coun
ty observes this: “A woman
wouldn’t be satisfied without an
unnatural bump on her some
where. For a time the bustle suf
ficed. The big sleeve with an un
natural bump on the shoUcr came
next, but did not Inst long. The
bump then moved from the should
er to the cull'. And just now it is
the fad to wear a shirtwaist that
looks as if a peck of apples had
been dumped into it in front.

How They Lied About It.
The rock which was thrown at
President Roosevelt at Cripple
Creek, Colo., during the presi
dential campaign of 1900, was
presented to him recently by
Philip iSchueh, .Jr., a prominent
mine owner of that region. It is
a good sized chunk of gold ore,
which assays at a substantial fig
ure. Incidentally Mr. Sehueb re
lated a hitherto untold phase of
the demonstration upon that oc
casion. “A man named Fowler
threw this price of rock at the
President” said Mr. Schucli but
he intended r.o injury, lie want
ed to present it to Colonel Roose
velt but the crowd was so dense
that lie could not get near enough
to hand it k him, so he pitched it
ovei the heads of those in front.
A man standing near to Fowler
immediately struck him. That's
the way the trouble started and
immense political cipital was
made from the incident. 1 after
ward bought the rock. 'Flic Pre

A Party That is ‘‘Always Right.”
1 William E. Cuitis, writing from
| Washington to the Chicago R«c
[ord-Heiald, says: “It was a
great mistake f >r the republicans
in the house of representatives to
head off the democratic attacks
upon Governor General Wood of
Cuba. It was bail political poli
cy.” Mr. Curtis thinks that the
people will resent any criticism of
[General Wood’s administration
and expenditure of money, lie
i declares that the criticism of the
brutalities in the Pliillippines lost
votes to the democrats aud that
the criticisms of Wood will only
tend to bring votes to the repub
licans. The republicans have not
been able to successfully defend
the brutalities in the IMiillippines
and they have not attempted to
justify General Wood’s unlawful
expenditures in Cuba. Conse
quently they resort to the repub
lican habit of insisting that when
ever it is criticised for any of its
acts, the republican party is cer
tain to gain glrength Once upon
a time it was regarded .is good
policy for one party to expose
and criticise the disreputable acts
of another party and in those days
it was regarded as good policy for
the party ciiticised to defend it
self. I>at in tins new and stiange
political eia. we are told that
whatever t ho republican party or
its agents may do is above criti
cism, and the people arc expected
to adopt the mle that “under any
and all circumstances, the repub
lican party is i iglii and whoever
opposes it is wrong.’’-Commoner
