"There a something behind it."
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi
cine trying to prove that they be
lieve iu it. ' There must be some
thing back of it ! "
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Itemed y. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild,
Boothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for 25 years.. It doesn't
Bimply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've " never heard of anything
like this offer?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like Dr. Sage's Remedy.

WESTERN REPUBLICAN LEADERS'
Tlie fact that the republican party
has taken its candidates for the
presidency from the west in every
instance but one is more significant
than is generally realized. It was
not a mere accident that this prac
tice was inaugurated at the begin
ning of the party's history, nor has
it been prolonged by the rule of
chance. The east has always pos
sessed able and worthy republican
statesmen, and could at any time
have furnished a iirst-class presi
dential candidate; but her favorite
sons have been systematically shut
out for logical and judicious rea
sons. It was not until the anti
slavery sentiment gained con
trolling force in the west that the
republican organization became
reallv effective; and that result
was brought about b- the contest
in Kansas, which checked the ex
tension of the servile labor system
and saved the territories to free
dom. The west took the right side
in that fight not so much upon
moral grounds as because of mate
rial interest. When the south pro
posed to establish its peculiar in
stitutions in the country beyond
the Missouri river, the west readily
saw that the success of such an un
dertaking would practically ex
clude free white labor and prevent
landless citizens from securing
homes. And so the west gave its
S3-mpathy and support to the re
publican party, and that party was
thereby enabled to acquire control
of the government. The republican
creed was particular!' conducive to
western welfare and prosperity,
and western votes accordingly gave
it popularity and potency.
It was not surprising that west
ern men, under these circum
stances, became the most influen
tial republican leaders, and that
the party adopted the custom of
taking western men as its candi
dates for the presidency. Kver
since 100 the surpassing strength
of the republican party has been in
the west, by virtue of the increase
of population and the founding of
new states. Its principles and pur
poses have been in harmony at all
times with the interests of the west
ern people. The homestead law
commended it to special favor, and
its general policy of facilitating the
extension of civilization gave it a
decided advantage. The fact is
that the west is the supreme force
in national politics, and is likely to
maintain this position for an indefi
nite period. No party can hope to
triumph through eastern or south
ern strength as against western
sentiment. The republicans have
acted wiselj', therefore, in giving
preference to men representing the
section which holds the determin
ing power. That is one of the
secrets of its wonderful vitality and
its unprecedented achievements.
It has not only chosen good men,
but it has been careful at the same
time to respect the just claims of
the locality which first placed vic
tory within its reach. St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
WHY WOMEN'S WAGES ARE LESS
THAN MEN'S.
There is of course no other man
in the United States who has col
lected and handled with competen
cy eo large a mass of statistics of
wages as Col. Carroll D. Wright,
United States commissioner of la
bor. Through all his investigations
Col. Wright has made an especial
study for himself of the bearings of
the facts that he has collected upon
the condition and advancement of
women. He has brought together
his conclusions of many years'
study and investigation in an article
which appears in the July number
of the Forum, bearing upon the
question as to the relative wages
received by men and women for the
same work.
Are women paid as well as nieu
for the same work? Col. Wright
maintains that in a great majority
of cases they are, but that confusion
has arisen because it oftner hap
pens than is generally supposed
that the work which women do is
not the same which men do. As
women, for instance, have forced
their way into such employments as
bookeeping and lighter clerical
work, the same grade of men that
formerely did this work have sought
higher and more remunerative oc
cupations. The proper comparison
to make is not so between what wo
men receive and what men receive,
but what the wage-earning women
now receive, and what they received
before the great advance of women
into industrial life.
There are reasons, however, why
women are not in every case paid as
well as men, and they are large
economic reasons which deserve
consideration. Among them are
these: There is undoubtedly a
cheaper standard of living among
women than among men; women as
a class have less good equipment
for life-work than men, because the
expectation in many cases is that
the work will be interrupted by
matrimony; and most of all, women
have come into the industrial field
as a new economic factor, and in
dustry has not yet adjusted itself to
her.
TllE democratic papers have
ceased all talk about the republican
billion dollar congress. They have
one of their own that is now occu
pying their attention. The' have
also ceased their talk about tin
plate. The facts are, the democratic
press has not got much to talk
about these days.
Financially Embarrased
A large manufacturer; whose af
fairs were very much embarrassed
and who was verj' much overwork
ed and broken down with nervious
exhaustion, went to a celebrated
specialist. He was told that the
on Id thing needed was to be re
lieved of careanp worry, and have
change of thought. This doctor
was morn considerate ot his patient
health than of his financial circum
stances. He ought to have adviced
him to use Dr. Miles' Restoative

CHARLEY'S PRECIOUS HAIR.
Heart lens Deception of a Trusting Maid
1y a H:ill Young Man.
He had the air of a man of the world.
Ilia dress was becoming and not too
showy. He seemed to be an individual
who had dined well, who would tell
gfxnl stories at the club.
Stretched out iu the barber's chair in
the hairdresser's room on School street,
instead of settling down with that in
different, self satisfied air that usually
comes over a man in that situation, he
seemed troubled. He looked about from
chair to chair, and yet he was not happy.
The barber shaved him and was so im
pressed that he even forgot to talk him
to death. Then the man sat bolt up
right in the chair and took an envelope
from his pocket. It was scented; the
barber could tell that. It was written
in a lady's hand too.
The strange man opened it, took out a
note, read it over and over agaiiv then
from its folds withdrew a lock of hair.
It was golden, and the victims who were
waiting for their turn in the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back
in the envelope.
"Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he
rubbed the tufts of hair which sur
rounded a bald spot on the strange man's
head.
"No, no, not for the world," he re
plied, "I cannot spare any."
"Man in next chair has hair like yours,
only a little more of it," suggested the
barber.
"By Jove, he has," said the troubled
man, and he darted out of his seat and
almost jumped to the occupant of the
next chair.
"Going to haw a hair cut?" asked the
6trange man.
"No," was the rather curt reply.
"Well, will you have a hair cut at my
expense?" said the man without hesita
tion. "I must send my best girl a lock
of hair, and I can't spare mine. Come,
how much is it worth?" and the eyes of
the - colored boy who brushes coats
bulged out beyond his forehead.
"Sell it for a 6mall bottle!" replied
the man with a good growth on his
head, and the stranger answered, "I'll
go you."
The barber began his work, and a lock
of the man's hair was handed over to
the stranger, who put it in a little silver
locket that bore a monogram. Then,
when the work was finished the two
walked out together.
The stranger was smiling contented
ly, the clubman grinned, the barber
laughed and the customers gazed on in
astonishment.
"Wasn't Charley a dear, good fellow
to keep his promise and send me a lock
of his hair?" said the pretty girl that
night as 6he took the daintiest sort of a
lock from the little box. And all was
6till but for the beating of her faithful
heart. Boston Herald.
