AFTER centuries of trial and years of scientific research it is found that noth­ ing will assuage thirst like plain, oold water. - , THE old "Times" building, which ' was the center of many exciting scenes in the time of Story, was quite badly damaged by fire New Year's day. A GREAT improvement in the behav­ ior of the average yonng man may be expected for the next few days, or until Ms New Tear resolutions wear out A NEW counterfeit $10 bill is said to a peculiar smile on the face of the pictured indian. Probably he is amiiing at the reverse look of the roan who takes |.r:liim in. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY and the coun­ try have every reason to lookback to the closing years of the nineteenth century ^ * with pride and forward to the twentieth century with confidence. DURING the past three months fifty- three sugar refineries have been com­ pleted in Texas. The growth of man- vffccturing industries in the south with- I? In recent years has been phenomenal. MORE than $3,000,000 has beeu in­ vested in building new cotton mills in ££ Korth and South Carolina during the past year. The south is learning the ^ secret of business prosperity by manu­ facturing cotton as well as raising it. |r \ K. H. KELLER, one of the doorkeepers t„>. - on the senate side of the capitol, greatly resembles Senator Mason.

"The Mea of the Merehanta' SerTtea,' these nwroraful statements concerntojf the sea Ufeof young Jaeky: "Wtthhn the memory of middle af&d men a boy on board a ship was the butt, the vicarious sacrifice to all the accumulated 111 temper of the ship. To­ day tales are told of the treatment of hoi* in 'Ocordio' colliers that ar» enongh to make the flesh creep to bear. In those days it was the privilege of every man on board to til treat the boy, and If, as very often happened, the poor little wretch died under it--well, what of it?--it was only a boy. "And the peculiar part of It all was that the brutes who did these evil deeds prided themselves that their ac­ tions were right and proper. There was only one way of training a boy-- with a rope's end If it were handy; if not, a fist or a boot would do, but he must be beaten. "One man whom 1 shall always re­ member, as smart a seaman as ever trod a ship's deck, beat me until there was not a square inch of my small body unbruised. Scarcely a watch passed that I did not receive some to­ ken of his Interest In my welfare, and on two occasions he kicked me with such violence that with all the will In the world to-obey his orders I was per­ fectly helpless. My only wonder la that he did not kill me., "Yet when I left the ship he bade me quite an affectionate farewell, bidding me remember how hard he had labored for my benefit, that every blow he had given me was solely aimed at making me more useful and fitting me for my duties." Swindle by Pawa Ticket*. * The most lucrative game which New York swindlers work on the credulous and eager New Yorkers themselves continues to be the bogus or false pawn ticket swindle. It is not un­ known in Chicago, and it has so many fine points about It, all of them ap­ pealing to the man who loves to make a few dollars on the side* that the rogues who work it are never out of customers. The simplest method is for the swindler to tell his Intended vic­ tim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth $100. He claims to have pawned It for only $25, and rather than lose the difference between the real value and the amount for which he pawned It he will give the customer a rare bargain. There is $25 due the pawnbroker, be­ sides $5 interest, leaving an equity of $70. He will sell that equity for just half, or $35. After the victim has paid over the $35 and has redeemed the pledge he finds that the real value of the article is $50 to $60 and that he Is out $5 to $15. The pawnbroker gets all he loaned, and the original owner makes all the victim overpaid.--Chica­ go Tribune mm m It would be a bold man who would .Venture to predict what developments Wl be witnessed during the coming vipaatury. In the light of all the marvel- , OU8 changes that have occurred within .1' the past one hundred years, nothing , seems impossible of fulfillment and no •y. possible dream of progress safely can be *» pronounced ahsured. THE British are furnishing what sup- military and provisions, that they to need. After carefully selecting t~ ^ ®h®>ef shipping them from England and transporting them across the veldt the Boers do the rest. They swoop down at unexpected hours and take pos- session, thus relieving the British of r/ , further responsibility in regard to the , stores. . THE most celebrated song writer of £ » .the century has just passed away in 4. -k^don. Henry Russell composed over f;- hundred songs, many of them fkii familiar than household wotds. !> Among the most popular are "Cheer, B ^ Cbeer>" "The Ship on Fire," "The #/, Gambler's Wife," "The Ivy Green," Iff / "The Maniac," "There's a Good Time )£> Coming, Boys," "Man the Lifeboat," £ "TfeaOld Arm Chair," and "Woodman, ^ .Spare that Tree." He lived to be eighty- eight years old, and his public life was j|/r almost co-existent with the century. THE labor problem bids fair to be the P interesting question of the com- ktf year. The greatest error that the gf earners have committed so far was their d":*-'i j to the boycott. It is not only j§£ illegal, but is apt to lose them the very || -thing they hope for--the sympathy of the people. Better, far better than the T'k boycott, is the ballot. The working $ men easily hold the balance of power, picking out their men and voting for intelligent, conscientious candidates that will aid them in their work. They should stand together for themselves and the best interests of the Ite flommunitjes of which they are a part. fe) PAYS OLD DEBTS, iff®' Ex-Congressman David B.

At Brighton Beach 1 hit Mose Rosen- stein, who was organizing a one night "Fausf' company, for a job. "What part do you wish to takel" he inquired shortly. "I wish to take the place of Mephisr topheles, of course," I answered, drav lng myself up proudly, for 1 had on a new suit of clothes and could afford to look him in the face. "And why do you wish to take that particular part?" be Inquired. I was amazed at his dullness; but, concealing my disgust as far as possi­ ble, I explained that it was because the devil always gets his dues. He seemed pleased at my repartee, wrote me out a $500 per week contract and paid me my first week's salary of $7.50 in ad­ vance. I played the devil in "Faust" until nearly the end of the season, after which I was cast In "The Foundry,".a workingman's play.--Indianapolis Sun. Ber Crttldam. Mary is very stout, quite deaf and the trusted housemaid of a family In the East park section. Incidentally she seems to be something of an art critic. When she cleans the family rooms, she Is heard to mutter and shake her head In dusting the pictures, and she seems to be especially severe on a few repre­ sentatives of the "altogether" that hang in the little den. One day Mary was flirting her dustcloth about in this Uttle room when her mistress happened in. Mary was standing gazing intently at a beautiful photograph of Bougue- reau's "Cupid and Psyche." 'And phwat plctur* is that?" asked Mary in hard, cold tones. "Oh. that is 'Cupid and Psyche,'" said the lady rather indifferently. 'Moody and Sankey, is ut? Well, I hav' heered of them felleys.

I suffered a great deal of pain and a little over two years ago my nerves gave out and I oould neither eat nor sleep. Medicine seemed to have no effect, although I tried different phy­ sicians and tonics. Finally some ad­ vised me to try Dr. Tallerday's Fain Tablets, to see if they would ease the pain and thus ratable me to sleep. I tried them and from the first they helped me, and have taken them for the past two years, always being benefitted and never feeling anv ill effects from. Have always taken the tablets for severe headache, to which I am subject and have been greatly helped, besides exper­ iencing no bad effect after, so apt to fol­ low the use of powerful headache reme­ dies. I feel that too much can not be said in favor of the Tablets. MRS. GEO. VICKEBS, 4SS & lCaiison St, Belvidere, 111. Ney, 111., Nov. 5, 1900.
