Gentlemen don't forget the Editor, who caters to your pleasure and has so many bills him­ self to meet. THE farmer actually, pays a premium for bad roads. He pays it in time expen ded in getting to market; in value of drafting animals and the food they eat and in the extra hands for the care and handling; in increased number of vehicles and wear and tear on them, And in the decreased product of the land that has lees attention and' care.

Alexander McMaster presented the pocket- book to Mrs. Allen's father years ago and he handed it down to Mrs. Allen. The book is of leather and is in a good state of preservation. It seems as if our pocketbook might last 192 years judging from the wear it is now receiving. Some of our delinquent subscribers, if they hold a grudge against us, could play a great trick by rushing in the dollars so rapidly that they would wear out our old pocket- book and thus force us to buy another stocking leg. THE St. Louis wrought iron stove man has been around collecting money for stoves sold last summer. The parties who bought the stoves supposed they had five months trial of the stove at the expiration of which, if the stove did no%" give satisfaction, they might return them and if they did give satisfaction they were to have three years time. Now the contract turns out to read five months without interest, and the notes are all due, consequently all the victims have to put up. Another illustration of patro­ nizing peddlers, instead Of home institu­ tions where you are safe, and yet, when the next sharper comes along they are just as willing to have their heads bumped. AN exchange has been figuring on the cost of the sparrow law and its conclu sion will be read with interest. No census hem ever been taken of the number of sparrows now residing in the state, but taking one to the acre as the average there would be abont 35.000,000 of them. If all these could be killed and scalped, the state would have to pay out |700, 000 in bounty money. All cannot be caught, of course, but supposing one in four is secured it will take f175,000 to foot the bill; and 26,576,000 sparrows will be left to propagate their kind next year. The sparrow is a fecund bird, pro­ ducing four broods each year of four each and the young in turn begin the family business at the age of six months. This means 110,000,000 birds left for the har­ vest when the shooting carnival begins next year. The conclusion is arrived at that as a scheme for cutting down the surplus in the state treasury the sparrow bounty promises to be a splendid suc- cess. Proceeding* of the Board of Trustees.

Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache, nervousness, sleeplessness and female troubles. Let them follow the example of Mrs. H. Herbechter, Stevens Point, Wis., who tor five years suffered greatly from nervous prostration and sleepless­ ness, tried physicians and different medi­ cines without success. But one bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine caused sound sleep every night and she is feeling like a new person. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Lara­ mie city, Wyoming, who tritd all other remedies, declares that after three weeks use of the Nervine for headache, nervous prostration,* etc., she was entirely re­ lieved. Sold by all druggists. Trial bottle free. MILES' NERVE AND LIVER PILLS. Act on a new principle--regulating the liver, stomach and bowels through the nerves. A new discovery.

Samples free at all drugstores. No healthy person need fear any dan eerous consequences from an attack of ft, grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and complete recov­ ery is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneu­ monia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G.
