Take A Paper.
A gentleman once said to a re
porter: "I ubver took a paper
that did not pay more than I paid
for it. One time an old friend of
mine started a paper away down
south and sent it to me. I sub
scribed just to encourage him
and after awhile it published a
notice that an administrator had
an order to sell a lot and I told
my friend to run it up to sjC0.
He bid me oil for $o7aud I sold it
in a mouth for sftOO, so I made
lii3 clear by taking that paper.
My father told mo that when he
was a young man lie saw a notice
in a paper that a school teacher
was wanted away off iu a far
country and he went there and
got a situation and a little girl
was sent to him. After awhile
she grew up sweet and pretty
and he married her. Now if he
had not taken that paper what do
you suppose would have become
of me? I would have been some
other fellow or perhaps I would
not have been at all." This
shows the value of a newspaper.

"It often made my heart ache,"
writes L. C. Overstreet, of Elgin,
Tenn. "to hear my wife cough
until it seemed her weak and sore
lungs would collapse. Good doc
tors said she was so far gone with
Consumption that no medicine or
earthly help could save her, but
a friend recommended Dr. King's
New Discovery and persistent
use of this excellent medicine
saved her life." It's absolutely

Two Cireensbuig men had a
peculiar case, in court recently.
They traded horses, o0 to boot
going with one end of the trade.
The trade was agreed on in the
eveuiag and was to be consum
mated the next morning. Over
night the man who was to give
the boot changed his mind. The
case was taken to court, where a
jury rendered a verdict deciding
that a dicker's a dicker and that
a horse trade is not a matter to
u whimsically treated. The
i.ian must either pay the $r0 to
boot or else take his case to a
hi.'.'her court.

k Pleasing Fiction Exploded.
It has become a matter of com
mou belief earnestly cultivated
by the English and pome Ameri
can ' papers and magazines, that
the Government and people of
this country were under great
obligations to the English govern
ment for preventing a coalition of
European powers against the
United States and in favor of
Spain at the outbreak of the
Spanish war. The British gov
ernment, so the story goes, was
sounded unofticially by the rep
resentative of one of the Euro
pean powers interested in the
scheme as to what its attitude
would bo in the event that press
ure was brought to bear upon the
United States. Great Britian's
reply, we aro told, was a prompt
and unconditional refusal to take
part in the movement, coupled
with an intimation that if the
United States were attacked by
the European coalition Great
Britiau would make common
causo with America. This has
been proclaimed as the solemn
truth on both sides of the Atlan
tic, and as constituting a strong
claim on our gratitude to the
"mother country." Many Amer
icans have come to believe that
but for the alleged action of the
British government, France,Ger
many, Russia Italy and Austria
would have sided with Spain, and
we would have had to face the
wrath of all Europe when we went
to war on behalf of civilization
and humanity, to free Cuba from
Spanish wrong, cruelty and op
pression. It is interesting' to know that
American salvation and safety
through England is a pleasant bit
of fiction. A Paris dispatch to
the New York "Tribune" sets
forth the facts, on the authority
of M. Hanotaux, who was the
French minister of foreign affairs
during the Spanish-American
war. He denies that the attitude
of the British government had
any bearing upon the collapse of
the alleged European coalition iu
the iuterest of Spain. "It seems
to me impossible," writes M.
Hanotaux, "that public opinion
hi the United States should not
now be cpuite as well aware of the
real facts in this matter as is the
United States department of
state." "What are the real facts?
M. Hanotaux states that the al
leged European demonstration
against the United States was
rendered impossible not by Great
Britain, but by Russia. "Count
Murabieff, then Russian minister
of foreign affairs," explains the
French statesman, "communicat
ed to the Spanish ambassador at
St. Petersburg the absolute and
formal refusal of Russia to mix
herself in any way with a quarrel
which did not concern Russian
interests." This communication
"couched in the most emphatic,
almost brutal, language," as M.
Hanotaux characterizes it, made
a European coalition against the
United States impossible.
The Russian minister to the
United States during the Spanish-American
war flatly denied
that there had been any European
coalition, that Russia had ever
assented to such a policy, and
that Great Britain did not pre
vent it because it did not exist
The American belief in the
great service supposed to have
been rendered this country by
Great Britain has had a great
deal to do with the indifference
which this Government has dis
played to the extinction of the
Boer republics. It was encour
aged by the claims of the British
press that England stood ready
to stand by us to the lighting
point, against all Europe. It will
be interesting to see the response
England will make to the chal
lenge of a responsible French
statesman. If there was any
scheme of European inteference
in our war with Spain it was Rus
sia that prevented it, just as Rus
sia stood in the way of French
and English interference in the
war for the Union. Pittsburg

Dissatisfaction is expressed by
some of the peojile living along
the free mail routes in Franklin
county, claiming that they did
not want the village postoftices
abolished and complaining be
cause they have to buy a box in
which to receive their mail. It is
hard to please everybody but the
postoftice department is surely
trying to serve the best interests
of the people living iu the country
districts.

' When to Marry.
Why should lovers defer their
marriage a day longer than the
time when, as far as wo mortals j
can discern the future, tho pros
pects of a comfortable homo is
reasonably assured? It issenso
less to wait for the coming of af
fluent days, says Cyrus C. Adam.:
iu Ainslee's. Their lives should
bo united, and each in his wiy
should help to bring about the
advent of eaiser times if they are
to come. It is as foolish to wait
foi a larger income than is really
required as it is for parents to
slave and drucgo that their chil
dren may enj'y a degree of afflu
ence they have never known.
There is tin- rock upon which
the French nation has split. They
are a frugal and thrifty people.
It is interesting to know that
many of the tasteful, artistic and
costly products of Franco aro
made almost exclusively for tho
foreign trade. Two-thirds of tho
best chiuaware of Limoges, for
example, comes to the United
States. A well-to-do French
woman is likely to use a prepara
tion of rice Hour as a cosmetic,
leaving the delicate perfumes and
other toilet articles of Paris for
her Amoricau and British sisters
who are willing to spend more
money for such things.
But the rich father, unfortu
uately, conceived it to be his duty
to leave his children richer than
himself; if, on the other hand, he
be a poor" tiller of the soil, it is
disgraceful not to educate his sou
to a trade or a profession so that
the family name may have a high
er place in the social scale. This
deplorable ambition fixes upon
the family a burden almost too
great to be borne, and many -of
the young people, seeing tho hard
lives their parents lead, defer
their own marriage in order to
better their fortuues, till at last
even the desiro to marry is ex
tinguished. Nearly all our self-made men,
loaders iu the professions and iu
busiuess, married yonng and on
very moderate incomes. Many
assumed, without the slightest
tripidation, the responsibility of
supporting a wife on 1,000 a year
or less.
The views of young persons as
to the amount of income upon
which they may prudently marry
vary, of course, according to the
circumstances in which they have
lived. Many an intelligent girl
who works iu New York kitch
ens has no doubt whatever that
she and the steady, industious
fellow she intends to marry will
have a comfortable homo on 12
to 14 a week. A penniless Ger
man school teacher who came to
Philadelphia when a young man,
j and who in his old age lives in
! New York on the rentals of apart-
ment houses bought with 300,000
he earned slowly in mauufactur
ing, asserted the other day that
1.000 to 1,500 a year in New
! York would give to young mar
j ried couples of refinement a coin
j fortablo home, books, music and
amusements and every thing they
j might need for tho rational en
j joy ment of life.
j There is scarcely any doubt
i that any man and wife, gifted
with his ability to disburse dol
j lars to tho very best advantage,
would bo able to realize his idea
of comfortable married life on a
small income.

"I wish to say that I feel I owe
my life to Kodol DyspepsiaCure, "
writes H. C. Chresteusou of Hay
field, Minn. "For three years I
was troubled with dyspepsia so
that I could hold nothing on my
stomach. Many times I would
be unable to retain a morsel of

my bed. Doctors said I could not
live. I read one of your adver
