KNISKCRN PASSENGER TRAFFIC MANAGER CHICAGO Who Arc "Tfceyf" "They say; what Ray they? Let them »ay." said Bishop Berkeley. Who are the "they" thus so boldly apostro­ phized? We may say with one of the fathers, "I know when you do not ask me," but how difficult it Is to get near­ er! We all have these mysterious "they" on our lips. and.yet we cannot define tliem. Yet, though we cannot define "they," partly because there are so many of them and partly because none of the great elemental things like time, love, death and sleep are capable of definition, we can still know and say a great deal about "they." "They" In Dolly Winthrop's mouth meant Provi- j deuce. "I wouldn't speak ill o' this WorWL" she was accustomed to say, "seeing them as put us la It knows best." In her sense it is of course rarely used, though the slang expres­ sion "as good as they make 'em" re­ calls it. Still, "they" has generally a slightly mysterious significance. When we say it we allude to some power we cannot define or to the Incomprehensi­ ble element in some set of people.~ London Spectator. N. H. PETESCH DRUGGIST.

"I can." the agent answered. "It originat­ ed in 1706 in London. In that year there was formed the first life Insur­ ance company. It was called the Ami­ cable Society For a Perpetual Assurance Office. It was a mutual benefit con­ cern. Each member, without reference to age, paid a fixed admission fee and a fixed annual charge per share on from one to three shares, and at the end of the year a portion of the fund accu­ mulated was divided among the heira of those who had died In accordance with the number of shares each dead person had held. Out of this company, with its crude and Imperfect methods, life Insurant as it exists today has grown."--Philadelphia Kecord. Not a Sick Day Since. "I was taken severely sick with kid­ ney trouble. I tried all sorts of medi­ cines. none of which relieved me. One day I saw an ad. of your Electric Bit­ ters and determined to try that. After taking a few doses I felt relieved, and soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not seen a sick day since. Neigh­ bors of mine have been cured of Rheu­ matism, Neuralgia, Liver and Kidney troubles and General Debility." This is what B. F. Bass, of Fremont, N. C., writes. Only 50c at Jnlia A.

If ever a state might be said to breathe, that state is California. It has a magnificent lung action, says the Sun­ set Magazine. Deep and long drawn are the breaths of ocean air taken by the great valleys. And you can almost see this breathing If you will go to the top of any of the hills bordering the bay of San Francisco. In general, air move­ ment or wind is initiated by difference of temperature. Therefore on summer afternoons while the broad ocean lies tranquilly sleeping at a temperature of 55 degrees F. the inland valleys are basking in the same sunlight, but' the air a few feet above the ground is quiv­ ering at a temperature of 100 degrees F. In other words, there Is a tempera­ ture gradient of 1 degree per mile, and this brings about a marked movement of the air. the motion being from the cool to the warm locality. The Husband'* Judgment Beat, Husband and wife often disagree about some matter that concerns each other and frequently th > husband finds that his wife's judgment is the best. The case of Mr. John W. Young of Lin­ coln, 111., however, is an exception. He says: "My wife and I both had a se­ vere cold and we decided to get some kind of medicine. I bought myself a bottle of Harts' Honey and Horehound and, taking it as directed, was well in a short time. She wanted another kind and with the result that she still has a bad cough. I advised her to take Harts* Honey and Horehonnd and think she will have to do so if she ge ts well this winter." Harts' Honey and Horehound is sold by G. W. Besley, druggist, W* McHenry, 111., in 36c, 50c and $1.00 bottles. Gtelklac • In the west of Ireland the majority of marriages take place between Christ­ mas and Lent--a great number of them on Shrove Tuesday. In the county of Limerick It is customary ,on the first Sunday in Lent for the bachelors and spinsters who have allowed the festival to pa88 without pairing to mark each other on the back with a piece of chalk or with a chalked stick. The marks of distinction are not rigidly confined to eligible parties, but are often bestowed upon boys and girls without regard to their original significance. It is asserted that the custom pre­ vails In other agricultural districts in Ireland, that the chalking mostly goes on when the people are going to or from church and that in towns where It is carried on to a very great extent the footpaths are white at night with pow­ dered chalk.--London Telegraph.

Cvrloaa OM Bsvllsk Law. It is interesting to recall In connec­ tion with railway accidents that only a few years back any Instrument which by accident was the Immediate cause of loss of human life became In Eng­ lish law "deodand"--that Is, became forfeit to the crown, to be devoted to pious purposes. This law applies to lo­ comotives. but In course of time coro­ ners' juries, instead of claiming the forfeit, inflicted a fine. In the yeaf 1838 a locomotive on the Liverpool and Manchester line which by exploding caused the death of Its engineer and firemau was fined £20, while the fol­ lowing year another engine on the same line was fined £1,400.
