The promoters of the McKinley
tarifl meant it to push forward the
policy of America for the Americans.
One method of realizing it was to
keep all work within their own do
minions. The country was to be
made self-supplying; what could be
. produced at home was not to be
bought abroad. That was the key
note of the McKinley scheme, and it
Is working out the idea of Its de

NOT A SQUARE SHAKE.
The Democrats of town always
make it a point to call their primaries
after the time is fixed for holding those
of the CitizenB1 party, which gives
them an opportunity to attend the
Citizens' conventions and help nomi
nate a ticket, and then go to their own
primaries and nominate what appeare
to them to be a knock-out slate. This
is grossly unjust and the cry for
Btringeut measures to stop it does not
come single handed. It is suggested
that the name of every man who
votes in any of the forthcoming Citi
zen9' primaries be recorded. This
will serve a two-fold purpose. The
record will handicap the voterB in the
Democratic primaries and will pre
vent any one from voting more than
once, which, under the present rules
of the Citizens' parly, is a common
practice. Indeed it Is considered one
of the most amusing features of the
campaign. The committee has
right to make such rules and they
should be embodied in the call. In
justice to the Citizens' party it should
be done.

they discovered thai the half-burn' d car

as a consequence plate glass windows are

molests them if thoy aro accompanied by
male escorts. On several occasions lately
ho has followed a number of young ladies
and as soon as an unfrequented spot was
reach od he has rushed upon them, placed
his arms about them and embraced them
before tboy could make an outcry. He
then raado an effort to kiss them and made
Improper proposals to them.

Last week I heard of tho formation of an
anti-treat society In Now Jersey. This
week we heard of another method adopted
by a family in this village to save money,
The family consists of a father and two
grown up boys. They are not total
abstainers, but at the same time are never
known to get drunk. It was their custom
to buy a glass of are twico a day ; one at
noon and the othor In the evening. Talk
log the matter over together one day they
came to the conclusion that thirty cents a
day would amount to quite a sum in a
year, so thoy adopted tho following plan
which they have since carried out: They
purchase a barrel of ale which they have
rolled into their cellar, and then instead of
visiting a restaurant they go to the cellar,
take a glass of ale, drop a nicfclo in a box
provided for the purpose, and go about
their business. By this means they more
than pay for their ale by the profits derived
from tho sale to themselves, which under
the old plan would go Into the pockets ol
tho keeper of the restaurant.
"The sidewalk of the man who has noth
ing to do Is easily picked out," remarked
the grumbler the othor morning. "It has
a lot of snow and slush on it. The busy
man who Is at work from early morning
until late at night has his walk nice y
cleaned, but the idln man is invariably too
busy for work especially such as this.
Ho puts his trust in Prov.dence and waits
for a thaw. If he waits, long enough It
comes, but not until he has been thor
ously discussed by all who piss by his
premises."
"Mary," called the husband upstairs,
"why don't you come down? H&ven't

"I flnlshod the letter long ago."

"Gracious mo I Have I got to mind this

THE PRIZE WINNER.
Oloao of tho "Herald" Amateur
Writers' Contest.
Some weeks ago tin Herald announced
that, as encourngeniont to tho local am
ateur journalists, It would effar a substan
tial prize to tho boy or girl who would
write the shorten, most interesting and
amusing sketch on a subject to bo based
upon the abovo Illustration. Immediately
alter tho announcement sketches poured in
upon the prize editor with such rapidity
as to almost drive him crazy. Some were
long, some short, somo medium, some
broad (in hints), many narrow (minded)
and not a fow very deep. O e competitor
(one of the deep ones) sent a remarkably
brief sketch in which he tried to show a
relationship between EJitor-in-Cbief Boyer
and the animal bitched In the illustration.
It was a heroic effort, but so deep that we
could not get at tho bottom of it. It was
signed "School Boy." There was a post
script to the sketch which road "The prize
should come to me." Unfortunately our
prize editor cannot agree with "School
Boy." Aside from the merits of the
sketch, "School Boy" is barred out. First,
became the competition was only open to
local amateur journalists, and tho compel!
tor's communication was dated "Mahanoy
Plane, Pa." Second, there aro ear-marks
about the communication that lead the
prize editor to the conclusion that the
competitor did not act in good faith, that
the real name supplied is as fictitious as the
nom de plume, and that If tho writer had
signed the communication "School
Teacher, Shenandoah, Pa," he would have
boen more within tho bounds of truth
Alia tentanda via est.
It was highly gratifying to the Herald
to see so much interest taken in the contest
and the only regret is that thore aro not
prizes enough to go around. A careful
perusal of nearly three dozen contributions
has led tho prize editor to the conclusion
that the prize ran be awarded and that the
winner is the competitor who signs himsolf
"Kid .Flash," who will be given the prize
when he presents himself at the Herald
office and proves authorship. His sketch,
as will be seen at a glance, embraces all tho
provisions of the conditions ior the com
petition, It Is short, It Is interesting, in a
"Mother Goose" sense; and it has an
amusing conclusion.
A contribution by "June" is doserving
of mention and would be entitled to tbe
second prize, had one been offered. Under
the ircumstanco4 we can do no mora than
congratulat the writer and oflVr wishe3 for
succors in the nnt competition.

"Hurrah I the frost has come to stay,"

"I'll have to buy a mulo and cart,
"To haul my Ico about."
And, suiting action to tho word,
Ho bought a mulo and cart.
And named the mulo "Supreme," because
It pleased both mind and heart.
Next morn "Supreme" unto the cart,
In harness new, was geared :
And this la how mulo, cart and John,
With whip In hand, appeared.
The people, all, In wonder gazed
And murmured "What a team 1"
But John would Blmply jerk the lines
To show be reigned supreme.
He used tho whip wrth vigor once,
To make his muleshln 1

A pair of glittering hoofs were seen,
Which wafted to tho sky
Another soul to Join tho throng
Of lovoua gone and snort.
Where no more mules will bother John,
Who reigned "supreme"-ly short.

DISCOVERED AT LAST.
Wnat La Grippe Really is ; Where
It Originated ; How It 1b Pro
pagatod and tho Way by
Which it Can bo Avoided.
It has, at la't, been discovered and de
finitely settled just what "Li Grippe" is,
and bow it first started.
It Is an Infection, low fever, and It
originated in Asia frm tho wet marshes
around Bukhara. Thence it was taken to
Russia by the traders who came from the
crowdod bszirs ol tho Asiastic capital.
From Europe it cme to America, and here
tho germs aro to-day and the fever raging.
Being a fever, it arises, as all fovors do,
from a weakened and run down condition
of the system, hence somo peop'e have it
aud others do not. Somo have it severely
and others mildly, but in every oaso it is
due, as all fevers aro, to a disordered and
weakened kidney ana liver. jNo man or
woman whose kidneys are in perfect or
strong condition ever had tho grippp, even
with the worst oxposure, and no ono ever
suffered with it whose kidneys aud liver
were not out of order. In writing on this
subject, which Is one ol tho most impor
tant now before tho poople, the New York
Herald gives, in a recent issue, some good
advice. It says: "All classes should
avoid crowded assemblages, avoid over
exertion, and see that their systems aro
toned up and built up."
This is common sense. But it is not al
ways easy to do. Ono can easily say "Tone
up tho system, strengthen tho kidneys and
liver," but how? There has never been
but ono standard remedy for strengthening
and restoring these great organs, and that
is Warner's Safo Cure. You know that,
if you stop to mink, it you refresh your
memory and recall how many people you
have heard speak favorably of it, who
have perhaps told you what It has done for
them. It goes directly to the seat of most
physical trouble and all posslblo grippe.
It strengthens, It renewB, it fortifies these
great organs, and thus when the germs of
grippe come to the system, they are unable
to find a lodgment, and aro killed before
they can propagate.
The foregoing facts aro fully endorsod by
the most eminent physicians, both abroad
and in America. Or. Gustav Webber, of
the royal court of Germany ; Dr. Hoesch,
of Barlin ; Dr. William Edward Kobson,
ot the royal navy, England ; Dr. Andrew
Wilson, of tho Koyal Society of Edin
burgh, and mo-t broad-minded and liberal
physicians in America have unhesitatingly
affirmed tho same.
You who read this article are in danger
of contracting the grippe, which may leave
its painful and baneful effects upon your
systom unless you are in a strong, a healthy
and vigorous condition to-day. If you
feel languid, restless, irritable, despondent,
if your appetite is uncertain, your rest
broken ; if you fool any signs of fnverish-
ncss or chilliness you noed to take iramedi
mo steps against it. You need to fortify
your kidneys and liver, and you can do so
absolutely In but ono way and that is by
the aid of the great cure above namod.
