MeN are always miligned who do
things. It’s the man or organization
in advance of the procession that meets
opposition first. A wise man has said
that “Attack is the reaction. I never
think I have hit hard unless it re-
bounds.”
Tue Chicago police claim to have
discovered evidence that the labor
unions have been paying professional
thugs $15 apiece for every “scab” that
was slugged. If that claim is true, it
is the manifest duty of the police to se-
cure the indictment of every officer of
every union that participated in such
lawlessness, and public censure will
rest on the police almost equally with
that which rests on the unions, until
they have performed this imperative
duty, says an Illinois exchange.
You have no. enemies? Then you
have never dared to stand up. for the
right against wrong; you have never
protected the weak against a bully;
you have not even dared to defend
your own rights against oppression.
Had you done any of these things you
would have made enemies. Even if
you had done none of these things, but
simply achieved a little more success
in your business than did your neigh-
bor, you would have an enemy, for
failure always hates success. The
man who has no enemies should be
ashamed of it, says an exchange.
Evrror BisHop, of the Meyersdale
Republican, last week jumped onto the
Rockwood Gazette with both feet, on
account of some criticism the Gazette
recently made concerning the com-
ment of other papers on the recent
liquor license tie-up. The Republican
should not take the Gazette seriously
on all occasions, for Chas Overackeris a
man who makes a thundering noise at
times when he’s only talking through
his hat. Editor Bishop should let the
ridiculous and disgusting license capers
of Judge Kooser rest, and he should
also quit trying to feed the Judge taffy
on a stick since the licenses are grant-
ed. And as for Overacker, if he must
of some of the statements he makes.
Bishop’s statements hurled at Over-
acker are principally true, but one as-
sertion he makes is a glaring untruth
and has caused many people to smile
out loud. Bishop, however, may, be
innocent of uttering a wilful untruth
in any of his assertions, but if that is
the case, his innocence makes a whole
lot of us laugh up our sleeves.
TEN TIMES EASIER.
It is ten times easier to cure coughs,
croup, whooping-cough and all lung
and bronchial affections when the
bowels are open. Kennedy's Laxative
Honey and Tar is the original Laxa-
tive Cough Syrup. Gently moves the
bowels, and expels all cold from the
system, cuts the phlegm, cures all
coughs and strengthens weak lungs.
Kennedy’s Laxative Honey and Tar
cortains no opiates, is pleasant to the
taste and is the best and safest for
child or adult. Sold by E. H. Miller.
COAL TESTS.
An opportunity has been offered the
coal producers of the country to co-
operate with the United States Geo-
logical Survey in its work of testing
the coals and lignites of the United
States. This work was begun at the
World’s Fair grounds. St. Louis, during
the Exposition, and will bé continued
along the lines laid down at that time.
The Survey is desirous of securing from
operators and others interested in the
problems of fuel consumption an ex-
pression of opinion as to whether they
desire to cooperate in this work. Offers
of coal for testing purposes should be
addressed to the Director of the United
States Geological Survey, Washington,
D. C.
It is not possible to promise at the
present time that all offers of coal will
be accepted, but the plan is to make
the investigation as complete as prac-
ticable, distributing the work as im-
partially as possible over the entire
country. The distribution of the work
will depend largely upon the replies
received to the circular which the
Survey is now sending out to coal
operators and upon the present and
possible future development of the coal
and lignite deposits of the several
states.
The tests will be made for the pur-
pose of determining the fuel values of
the different coals and lignites and the
most economical methods for their
utilization. Arrangements have been
made with the manufacturers of the
equipment used during the Exposition
to have practically all of this testing
machinery left at the disposal of the
Government.
In offering coal for testing purposes,
operators are requested to note the fol-
lowing conditions with which it is
necessary to comply:
1. The coal must be furnished to
the Testing Plant free of cost to the
Government.
2. The coal must be loaded under
the supervision of one of the inspec-
tors employed for that purpose, who
shall be at the same time allowed to
visit the working places in the mine to
procure samples for analysis.
3. When it is possible to do so, the.
coal should be loaded in box cars and
shipped under seal. Lignites must al-
ways be shipped in this way.
4. Where the market requires
screened coal, this grade will be ac-
cepted for test. The selection of coal
is always to be under the direct con-
trol of the representative of the testing
plant.
5. Where one of the problems in-
yolved is the better utilization of slack
coal, a carload of slack may be accept-
ed for testing purposes.
6. As soon as possible after the tests
are completed, a brief statement of the
results will be furnished to parties sup-
plying the coal, for their information,
but this must not be made public until
the results are published by the Geo-
logical Survey.
7. Every one interested in any par-
ticular test, or in the general operation
of the plant, is invited to be present at
any time, but the official record of the
test will not be given out, except as in-
dicated in the preceding paragraph.

When I Go Home.
It comes to me often in silence,
When the firelight sputters low—
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Aiways with throb of heartache
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I’m sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces old and strange;
I know where there’s a warmth of wel-
come,
And my yearning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead,
With an aching sense of pain;
But there’ll be joy in the coming
When I go home again.
When I go home again! There’s music
That may never die away,
And it seems the band of angels,
On a mystic harp to play,
Have touched with a yearning sadness
On a beautiful broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording—
When I go home again.
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great world’s crash and din,
And slowly the autumn’s shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
Sobbing, the night winds murmur
To the plash of the autumn rain;
But I dream of the glorious greating
When I go home again.

Good Advice to Young Girls.
Girls, don’t cheapen yourselves by
allowing yourselves to be everybody's
playthings. It is alright for you te
have a “fellow” and , > here and there
with him, but don’t be every fellow’s
girl, just because he asks you to be,
and then imagine that you will not
cheapen yourselves in the eyes of
everybody, especially the young men.
It is a laudable ambition for a girl to
have a “fellow,” and she is entitled to
the best, if she is the right kind of a
girl. But it makes no difference how
really good she is, she loses the respect
of everybody when she gets so boy-
struck that she cannot walk down the
street without stopping to “gab” with
every “lobster” she happens to meet.
When she permits such familiarity and
cultivates it, she loses her dignity, and
that is one of the rudiments of being a
lady. The average young man has ne
genuine respect for the girl who is
familiar with all the boys of her aec-
quaintance, and she is the last girl in
the world he would think of marrying. —
It is really a disgusting sight to see an
otherwise sensible girl gadding up and
down the streets, “gabbing” with every
“wart” she meets. loafing around the
stores and shops and sponging treats
from all who have the price and the
disposition to “loosen.” That girl is
marked for the bargain counter, and
when she marries, it is invariably the
last or only chance. Married life can
be happy only when husband and wife
have the most implicit confidence in
each other, and no man can have con-
fidence in the cheap, gadding, gossip-
ing, giddy girl, the one who imagines
the boys are all eager for her company,
when in reality they only use her as a
plaything with which to pass away the
time. Don’t cheapen yourself, girls,
but pick out some really good young
man, some fellow with an ambition be-
yond cigarette smoking, booze, fighting
or gambling, and tie to him. If he does
not suit you, get some other fellow un-
til you get the right one—that is if you
must have a fellow—but don’t fool
around with a half dozen of them at
once, and think for a minute that any
of them really respect you. An honest
girl is the most beautiful object in all
creation, even if she is as homely as a
hedge fence, but a cheap girl—oh, get
the ax !—Oregon Republican.
HUGE TASK.
It was a huge task to undertake the
cure of such a bad case of kidney dis-
ease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Chero-
kee, Ia., but Electric Bitters did it. He
writes: “My kidneys were so far gone,
I could not sit on a chair without a
cushion; and suffered from dreadful
backache, headache, and depression.
In Electric Bitters, however, I found a
cure, and by them was restored to per-
fect health. I recommend this great
tonic medicine to all with weak kid-
neys, liver or stomach. Guaranteed

The Country Merchant's Snap.
“Yes,” remarked the country mer-
chant to a newspaper reporter, “I cer-
tainly have a snap. The wholesale
houses send me duns every month and
draw on me at sight; but if I send =
bill to a farmer he comes in swearing
mad and quits trading at my store.
While I am hard up for ready money,
many of those who owe me are sending
cash in advance to mail order houses.
If I contribute money to any cause,
people say I am bidding for trade; if [
don’t, they say I am a hog.
Every day I am expected to dig up
for everything that comes along, from
a raffle ticket to a church fund, by peo-
ple who say I ought to do this because
they do part of their trading here ; but,
my friend, Montgomery Ward neither
buys raffle tickets nor helps the church
fund, and yet gets the cash in advance
business ; and if I were to circulate a
subscription paper among the city
wholesale houses where we trade IL
would get the horse laugh proper.
If I sell a pair of pants I must treat
the family to candy and cigars; if ©
buy a load of potatoes I must do the
same. Customers who are able to pay
hang onto their money while I pay 6
per cent. at the bank to get ready cash.
I have a big business during hard
times and poor crops from people who
are willing to trade with me providing
I can duplicate catalogue house prices
and wait until after harvest for my
money.
My scales weigh too heavy when I
sell sugar and too light when I buy
butter. I am a thief, a liar and a graft-
er. If I smile I am a softsoapy hypo-
crite; if Idon’t I am a grump. Yes,
this is certainly a snap.” And then he
looked over $10,000 worth of book aec-
counts, all good, and wondered how he
could raise $350 to pay a sight draft
due to-morrow.—Trade Exhibit.
