Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trim­ ming in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing them, but it is always fair to its opponents. Hatters of national or vital public Interest get more space in THE TRIBUNE than in any . other paper in the West. For these reasons it is the newspaper you Should read during the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West. It presents the news in as fair a way as pos­ sible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles on all, news features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE" published daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one col­ umn. Its sporting news is always the best, and its 'Sunday Pink Sporting Section is better.than any sporting paper in the country. It is the "cleanest" daily printed in the West. Werner's Dictionary of synonyms & Antonyms, Mythology and Familiar Phrases. A book that should be in the vest pocket of every person, because it tells you the right word to use. No Two Words In the English Language Have Exactly the Same Significance. To express the precise meaning that one in­ tends to convey a dictionary of Synonyms is needed to avoid repe­ tition. The strongest figure of speech is antithesis. In this dic­ tionary the appended Antonyms will, therefore, be found extremely I valuable. Contains many other features such as Mythology, Familiar Allusions and For­ eign Phrases, Prof. Loisette's Memory System, 'The Art of Never Forgetting," etc.. ftC.

If there is any doubt on this point, abandon it at once, for familiar­ ity with bad business will make it aeem good. Choose a business that has expanaiyeness in it. Some kinds of business a Gould could not make success­ ful or a Peibody respectable. Choose .an occupation which will develop you; which will elevate you; which will give you a chance for self-improvement and promotion. You may not make quite so much money, but you will be more of a man, and manhood is above all riches, overtops all titles, and character is greater than any career. If possible avoid occupations which compel you to work in a cramped position, or where you must work nights and Sundays. Don't try to justify yourself on the ground that somebody must do this kind of work. Let "somebody," not yourself, take the responsibility. Aside from the right and wrong of the thing, it is injurious to the health to work seveii days in the week, to work nights when nature intended you to sleep, or to sleep days when she intended you to work. M&hy a man has dwarfed his man­ hood, cramped his intellect, crushed his aspiration, blunted his finer sensi­ bilities, in some mean, narrow occupa­ tion, just because there was money in it "O noble work of toil and care! O task most beautiful and rare! O simple, but most arduous plan. To build up an immortal man!" Tfye Best Remedy for Stomach and Bowel Troubles. "I have been in the drug businss for twenty years and have sold most all of the proprietary medicines of any note. Among the entire list I have never found anything to equal Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea-, Remedy for all stomach and bowel troubles," says O. W. Wakefield, of Columbus, Ga. "This remedy cured two severe cases of cholera morbus in my family and I have recom­ mended and sold hundreds of bottles ol it to my customers to their entire satis­ faction. It affords a quick and sure cure in a pleasant form. No family should be without it. I keep it in my house at all times." For sale by Julia A. Story. History of the Loving: Cup. The loving cup is a historical emblem. In the middle ages, at the close of an entertainment, the parting guest was presented with spiced drink in a large bowl, just as he was mounting his horse. It was called the "stirrup cup." Sometimes when the friendship between host and guest was a pretense and not a reality the drink was poisoned, or per­ haps while drinking the guest was mur- lered. These were frequent occurrences among Italian nobles and to put a stop to them the clergy introduced the loving cup, which had three handles. Two of these were grasped by the host, who drank first to show that the liquor was not poisoned. The guest then took the cup by the third. The host released one handle, the right hand still holding one so that ht) might raise the cup, and inci­ dentally so that his right hand might be too busy to draw a sword or dagger. When the guest had drunk, the host re­ leased the cup, which was passed to the next one. The monks in early times named this the "pocula caritatis," or cup of love. It was filled with wine with a piece of toast floated therein and circulated from right to left around the table. Hence the phrase "drinking a toast."--Shoe and Leather Reporter. Cure for Cholera Infantum--Never Known to Fail. During last May an infant child of our neighbor was suffering from, cholera in­ fantum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used ac­ cording to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is now vigorous and healthy. I have recommended this remedy fre­ quently and have never known it to fail. --MRS.
