Alabastine is the most econom ical, the most durable, and the most easily applied of all wall coverings. ' You get it at Seylar's drug store. No matter bow much money a man may have he does not line t be defrauded. If he buys a coat he wants the cloth to be just what the merchant says it is; if he buys a barrel of apples he is indignant if he discovers that the big ap ples have been put in the ends of the barrel and small or unsound ones between, and he decides not to deal again with the man from whom he bought them. No man wins permanent success whodoes not deal fairly with his custo mers. DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the best known pills and the best pills made, are easy to take and act gently and are certain. We sell and recommend them. Trout's drug store. The past winter has been the mildest that has been seen for many years, as well as the most erratic. Its sudden shifts from cold to warm, its tremendous wind storms, its spring like show ers and its lack of snow and ice have made it remarkable. That the climate of the eastern states has been undergoing a change in the past ten years is an assertion made by scientists, and it seems to be born out by the figures and statistics of the weather bureau and especially by the weather of this winter. Children especially like Ken nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. It not only heals irrita tion and allays inflammation, thereby stopping the cough, but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates.

' An exchange says that a lawyer charges a man $10 for 10 minutes' conversation the man insists on paying It A doctor charges $1 tor a prescription and the patient says: "Oh, pshaw is that enough?" An undertaker charg es $100 for conducting a funeral and he is perfectly lovely with everybody inside and outside the family. A man buys a gold brick and apologizes for not having bit ten before. An editor walks a mile in the hot sun to get the facts of a death or wedding or so cial function and spends three hours writing it up and tells lies praising people until he hates himself. Then if he makes an insignificant omission, or charges 5 cents straight for three extra copies be is a stingy, careless, good-for-notbing old cussf who never gets anything right and charges four time the price of city papers twice as large. .

' A bill has been introduced in cougress which provides that be ginning January 1, 1910, the rate of poRtage on all letters mailed within the United States for do mestic points, including drop let ters shall be one cent per ounce or fraction of an ounce. Another bill provides for the consolidation of third and fourth class mail matter under the title "merchan dise," fcr the establishment of a parcel post and for the insurance of all mail matter against loss or damage. 'All of which will prob ably fail of passgae, as has previ ously been the case. NEW GRENADA. Mr. G. W. Smith, of Waynes burg, Pa., visited his brother-in-law, Hon. James A. McDotiough, a few days.

Unfortunately for Mr. Black on the very day he got in to the boarding house, the miners closed down work indefinitely. We are very sorry to lose from our neighborhood such ood neighbors and friends.

Edwards in the Valley. Not the Salary But the Opportunity. "If the laborer gets no more than the wages his employer of fers hira, he is cheated; he cheats himself." It is said that Bismarck really founded the German Empire when working for a small salary as secretary to the German lega tion iu Russia; for in that posi tion he absorbed the secrets of strategy and diplomacy which later were used so effectively for bis country. He worked so as siduously, so efficiently, that Germany prized his services more than those jf the ambassador himself. If Bismarck had earned only his salary, he might haave remained a perpetual clerk, and Germany a tangle of petty states. I have never known an employe to rise rapidly, or ever to get Le- yond mediocrity, whose pay en velope was his goal, who could not see infinitely more in bis work than what he found in the envelope on Saturday night That is a mere incident, a necessity, but the larger part of the real pay of a real man's work is out side of the pay envelope. One part of this outside salary is the opportunity of the employe to absorb the secrets of his em ployer's success, and to learn from his mistakes, while he is being paid for learning his trade or profession. The other part, and the best of all, is the oppor tunity for growth, for develop ment, for mental expansion; the opportunity to become a larger, broader, more efficient man. Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. For Homesteaders. By an order of the Interior De partment, about three million acres of land in the counties along the eistern border of Wyoming are to be thrown open at once to homesteaders, who will be al lowed to take eithor one hundred and sixty or three hundred and twenty acres. The land cannot be irrigated, and will be of use, therefore, only for ''dry farm ing." Those who take the full three hundred and twenty acre entries must make an attempt to cultivate the land, while those who go in on the smaller holdings will not be compelled by the law to do so. The throwing open of this territory is somewhat in the nature of an experiment to see what can be done with such land. The Kind Mother Used to Make. . As the News stated last week "white bread" is to be abol ished in this couatry. This re fers to the ruling of the Secre tary of Agriculture that millers must not bleach Hour. The rul ing has gone into effect, so that no more white Hour will oemade, but millers will have until June 3 to dispose of their white stock. The new Hour will be cream col ored instead of white, that is, just the natural color as it comes from the grain. Hence there will be no more white bread, bat the bread of the future should be golden in color, if the flour is standard. As to tho taste, the golden bread will be like the white, with one editor claiming an added quality to commend it self to the consumer, that it will be just like that which "mother used to make" in the good old days before bleached Hour came into vogue. Woman And Her Hat. The following from the Phila delphia Inquirer is about the best we have seen on the peach basket hat: "A mournful correspondent (married man, of course), writes to know what he shall do to make his wife .wear a decent looking hat. He can't do anything. In the capacity of first aid to the in jured we are ready to do anything except reorganize the female sex od a sensible basis. The job has been under way since our ances tors lived in tress, and we see not the slightest result in the way of solution. If your wife and daughters in sist on wearing peach baskets covered with wings and vegeta bles and ribbons until they look well, like words which it is not lawful to utter grin and bear it like a man. it is given mankind to get the stern discipline of life through suffering, not only that of the physical sort, but of the kind that makes the iron enter the soul. But what's the use of complaining; When you can do nothing at all, do it as bravely as you can. Our own opinion is that women of the present time go around looking like jays. If men should compel them to wear such abom inations there would be riot, but where fashion dictates woman is adamant as against all argument. Our correspondent should cheer up and remember the saying of old Joe Miller: ' "Married men do not liva longer than bachelors; it only seems longer." Opposed to Race Suicide. - The subject up for discussion was big families and one of the group happened to remember that a man named George A. Hartzell, who lives at the Aque duct, in Perry county, has some claim to distinction in that di rection. Mr. Hartzell is the father of twen;y-three children, ten of whom are living. He is a well preserved man at the age of 73 years. He has followed his trade of blacksmithing for many years. WAVERLY ' GAtS ENGIN1T Off superior oil far Oa.Eninlubrlatrii.
