TOURIST CARS POPULAR
Tho idoa that an inferior class of
pobplo patronize tho tourist sleepers
is an error. On many trips only the
best class of travolers aro found.
Thoy aro merely men and women of
good senso who would rather travel
To California
in this man nor and save a snug Bum
of money to be used olsewhere. It is
beginning to bo understood that it is
by no means nocossary for the travel
or to spend a largo sum of monoy in
order to enjoy a trip to the Pacific
Coast.
If you cross the continont in
one of tho tourist sleepers of the
Union Pacific
You will onjoy your trip and

Thon ixnrl Now
They say of General" Washington "He
could not tell a He."
Which fact is put in history and oft
embalmed in rylime.
And if 'tis so of course it is as days
go fleeting by
Wo see how sadly things have
changed 3ince George's day and
time.
For Washington achieved success in
finance and in war,
Dcspito the fact he struck to
truth through thick and thin with
vim.
Rut just suppose a little case the
thought gives one a jar
If George lived now and tried it on,
pray what would happen him?
If he should go to Wall street
To deal with bull3 and hears;
Or trade in puts and calls neat,
Or buy and sell some shares
In deep blue sky or bricks of gold
Pray tell me if you please,
How soon would George, if truth he
told,
Bo brought down on his knees?
We have heard the hatchet story some
three thousand times or more:
We've had the picture held before our
weak and sinful-eyes.
In dreams we've seen his papa come
with angry mien and roar
And heard George 'fess, "I chopped
it, pa; I cannot tell a lie!"
Icondclasts are telling us the story is
untrue
But true or false 'twas good enough
to point a moral clear.
But what, I ask, could Washington in
"frenzied finance" do
If ho should try the truthful -dodge in
this particular year?
He couldn't run a beef trust
Or corner coal and wheat;
'Twould make his heart with grief bust
To tackle sugar sweet.
He'd last a round with Mr. Baer.
About as long with Schwabl
They'd quickly do him up for fair
And jolt him from his job.
'Tis well for General Washington and
for his wondrous fame
He lived a century ago, for were he
with us now
And tried to beat the "system" at Its
own peculiar game
Instead of saying "I can't lie," he'd
go to learning how.
For "gentlemen's agreements" and all
such financial tricks,
Tho "rebates" and tho "mileage"
welj, I rathor think you know
Tho man who tried tho truthful game
with such a mess to mix
Would quickly get it in the neck and
stand no earthly show.
Ho couldn't form a brass trust
ur uauule long in steel.
Ho couldn't run a glass trust
Or corner flour and meal.
Truth is not on Wall street's roll
And falsehood's above par ' .
So George I think upon the'wholo
Youro bettor where you.aro.

of your congressional committee nas
resigned, and seven of the nine mem
bers of 'that committee are out actively

"What's that?" gasped the congress
man. "Framing it up to beat me be

this country coming to? By the way,
on second thoughts I believe there are
some merits to this proposed law, and
I rather think I should give it my support."
SpoeJking of Babios
"Are babies worth what they cost?"
asks an exchange.
The man or woman who would ask
that question is to be pitied.
"Are babies worth what they cost?"
Bless their little hearts, the divi
dends they pay each day exceed their
cost by as many thousand ner cent as
there are dimples in their faces and
smiles on their lips.
The slightest touch of a baby's hand
is ample compensation for all the'pain
and tears and heartaches and financial
investment it brings. The men or wo
men who would stop to consider what
the baby cost while looking into its
eyes or listening to, its cooing, would
talk through their noses to save wear
and tear on their teeth, or tip-toe down
the street to savo the wear on, shoe
heels. "Are babies worth what they cost?"
The sight of a baby's smiling face at
the window can make bright and glor
ious the finish of a day begun In men
tal anguish and loaded to the Plimsoll
lino with financial difflpnnipo .-
dread. The prattling welcome at the
door could no more be measured in
dollars and cents than the love of God
couiq oe measured by finite minds.
"Are babies worth what they cost?"
Ask the mother and father who are
weeping uy tne side of the little coffin
tnat noius me mortal remains of the
little one that brightened their home
for a brief span, and catch the answer
in their broken sobs and moans. All
that they have, and all that they ex
pect ever to have in this world, would
they give just to call back to life for
one brief day the little one too soon

Brain Letxks
Self-help does not mean selfishness.
Sacrifice does not mean giving up
something you do not want.
Some men never learn the difference
between license and liberty.
The man who minds, his own business
usually has a successful one.
You can not stand up for your own
rights by trampling on the rights of
others.
Life is vastly more than mere living.
For every tongue of gossip there are
sure to be at lea3t two ears.
The ma" who owns nothing but
money may never be in danger of the
almshouse, but he is usually the' in
mate of a poor house.
Great reforms are not wrought in a
minute, but many would-be reformers
"become discouraged if they do not see
results in thirty seconds.
The man who looks up may stumble
occasionally, but he sees more that is
beautiful and wholesome and good
than the man whose eyes are always
turned towards the muck and mire of
the street.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
In
Faw People Knew How Useful it it
Prosarvlnp; Health and Beauty
Nearly everybody' knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you tako of it the b-tter; it, is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in tho stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves tho complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further at;ts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money is
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather In
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
Tho daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath, and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that ro
poririble harm can result from their
ccLtlnued use. but on the- contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom
ach and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion nnd purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver
Is greatly benefited by the daily use
of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores and al
though in some jenso a patent prepara
tion, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Charcual
Lozenges than in any of the ordinary
1 charcoal tablets." . ;' .
