An exchange tells of a boy who grew

he saw one of those angelic creatures.
“What is that, father?” asked the young

the father, And the very next words
the young man uttered were: “Father,
I want one of those things,” and the

A neglected cough or cold may lead
to serious bronchial or lung troubles.
Don’t take chances when Foley’s Honey
and Tar affords perfect security from
serious effects of a cold. E. H. Miller
Our friend Jacob Glotfelty, who last
spring moved onto the 8. K. Weimer
farm in Greenville township, while
being a good fellow is nevertheless a
terror to wildeats. We are reliably
informed that Jacob killed two of the
aforesaid animals, last week, and that
he has his weather eye peeled for more.
Whenever he gets after a wild “pussy”
the scalp is going to be his every time.
That's right, *Jakey,” while you're at

fat.
A Life at Stake
If you better knew the eplondtd merit
of Foley’s Honey and Tar you would
never be without it. A dose or two
will prevent an attack of pneumonia or
la grippe. It may save your life. E.
H. Miller.
Here is a puzzle that puzzles every-
body: Take the number of your living
brothers, double the amount, add to it
three, multiply the result by five, add
to it the number of living sisters,
multiply the result by ten, add the
number of deaths of brothers and
siaters, and subtract 150 from the re-
sult. The right hand figure will be the
number of deaths, the middle figure
will be the number of living sisters,
and the left will show the number of
living brothers. Try it and see.

Last week several of our good citizens
remembefed our chief of police Mr,
Joseph Joy, by handing him their
checks for amounts ranging from two
to ten dollars. The checks were given
as Christmas gifts by people who
appreciate a good officer. Right here
we wish to say that the gifts were
richly deserved and duly appreciated
by Mr. Joy. who is an officer our town
may well be proud of. Out of chaos
and drunken revelry he has brought
peace and good order to the town, and
the town owes him a large debt of
gratitude.

The comptroller of the currency has
received the report of the receiver of
the National Bank of Hyndman,
was closed Dec. 19, 1902. The assets at
the date of suspension amounted to
$101,317. The receiver estimates the
doubtful and worthless bills receivable
and other assets to be worth $11,500.
The liabilities of the bank are reported
as $43,032. From the report received,
it does not appear probable that the
general creditors of the bank will suffer
any loss, the late president, J. J.
Hoblitzell, having agreed to pay the
face value of all claims proved against
the bank and thus become practically
its only creditor.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Minn. fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but it
was quite sore and pained her very
much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
advertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a bottle
of it, which he did. It quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep, which she
had not done for several days. The
son was so much pleased with the relief
it gave his mother that he has since
recommended it to many others. For

A Scientific Discovery.
Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself, even
when but slightly disordered or over-
loaded, Kodol supplies that natural
juice of digestion and does the work
of the stomach, relaxing the nervous
tension, while the inflamed muscles of
that organ are allowed to rest and heal.
Kodol digests what you eat and enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
transform all food into rich, red blood.
E. H. Miller.
During the year endiig 7 June 30, 1902,
there were 14,983 persons appointed to
positions in U. 8. Classified Civil
Service, which was 4.692 more than
were ever before appointed in a single
year. If you wish information about
positions of this kind you can obtain it
free by writing for the Civil Service
announcement of the Columbian
Correspondence College, Washington,
D. C. The Civil Service Commission
will hold examinations to secure young
men and women for these places during
Mareh and April, at Harrisburg,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Scranton and
Warren. From 3,048 appointments
during the first year of Mr. McKinley's
administration, they have increased to
nearly five times that number. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is a firm believer in the
merit system, and as long as he is
president these appointments will con-
tinue to increase.

Of Importance to Mining Interests.
In aceordance with the policy of the
United States Geological Survey to
make available the results of its re-
searches as early os possible and in a
form suitable to the business needs of
the country, a bulletin is in prepara-
tion and will shortly be issued which
will contain a concise summary of the
advances in economic geology made
by the Survey during the last year.
This will not take the place of the
more extended reports of the organ-
ization, but will place before the public
the essential features of the investi-
gations of the year in the meralliferous
and non-metalliferous deposits of the
country, so that those desiring the in-
formation may obtain it in concise
form without the necessity of search-
ing through voluminous reports. By
his means the results of investigation
will also be made available much
earlier than has heretofore been pos-
sible. It is probable that a bulletin
of this nature will be published an-
nually for the benefit of the public.

It is a combination of the healing

bruises, eczema, salt-rheum and all

vise Graphophones and Flat
Records.
Perfection in Disc Graphophores and
Flat Records was quickly achieved by
the Columbia Phonograph Company,
the pioneers and leaders in the talking
machine art, when it demonstrated the
wonderful possibilities of the flat in-
destructible records. Up to that time
nothing important had been accom-
plished. The machines were faulty
and the records were not in the same
class with the cylindrical records used
on the graphophone. A knowledge of
how to make disc records and the
proper material of which to make them
seemed to be entirely lacking. The
wide experience of the record depart-
ment ‘of the Columbia Phonograph
Company enabled it to grasp the true
principles underlying the making of
disc records, and the first product was
a great deal better than anything that
had been accomplished by others.
With the lapse of time the improve!
ment that has come with practice has
placed the Columbia Dise Records far
in advance of all others. They are
characterized by smoothness, sweet-
ness, clearness and naturalness. And
while preserving all these desirable
qualities they are the loudest records
on the market.
The Dise Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30.
Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per
dozen; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per
dozen. The Graphophone and Columbia
Records were awarded the Grand Prize
at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
