There’s Always a Season.
It is an easy thing to account for the
wonderful growth of the-Daily State
Journal recently. Its price has been
reduced to 50 cents per month without
Sunday or 65 cents with Sunday. The
Journal has always been reliable and
honest, printing the news without fear
or favor. The people of Nebraska realize
that they need a paper publish:?! at the
capital, and when the price of the Jour
nal was reduced the subscription list
grew.at a phenomenal rate. The Jour
nal is a Nebraska paper through and
through.
A disinterested act of kindness is some
thing the carnal mind cannot explain.
There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
a headache may be cured by it. A
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quiet
ed. The severe pain of a burn or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time thau when medicine
has to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which insures a cure in about
one-third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive imme
diate treatment before the parts become
swollen, which can only be done when
Pain Balm is kept on hand. A sore
throat may be cured before it becomes
serious. A troublesome corn may be
removed by applying it twice a day for
a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re
lieved without paying a doctor bill.
Procure a 60 cent bottle at once and
you will never regret it. For sale by P.
C. Corrigan, druggist.

Every mother should know that croup
can be prevented. The first symptom
of true croup is hoarseness. This is
followed by a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is given
freely as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the cough has de
veloped it will prevent the attack. 35

PROOF POSITIVE.
The nototnph of th« FUh Bettor
Than an Aflilatlt.
In these days of sophisticated ad
vancement no one believes a fish
story unless the proofs are at hand.
A Chicago artist who is much given
to angling makes periodical visits to
Wisconsin lakes and invariably brings
back large and terrifying yarns re
garding his eatch. Formerly one of
his favorite yarns was that he pulled
out a black bass that seemed to be
eighteen inches long, and just as he
was taking it in over the side of the
boat it got away from him.
One night at his club ho related
how he and a man from Milwaukee
went out before breakfast and got
over 120 pounds of croppies.
“What became of them?”
“Well, we ran out of ice and had to
give them away," which explanation
was greeted with derisive laughter.
lie brought home once a long pine
stick on which were two notches, in
dicating the length of. a pike taken
one evening just as the sun went
down, and which lasted the camp
three days.
--nnyooay can mane a couple ox
notches in a stick,” said the skeptics.
It is very trying. He would return
from an expedition full of enthusiasm
and large claims, only to meet some
alleged friend who would take him
aside and ask, seriously: "Now,
between you and me, did you catch
anything?"
Finally, driven to an extremity, he
adopted the scheme which gave him
reputation. He painted on a screen
the picture of a small house, such as
may be found at any fishing camp.
Against this screen he would hang
a six-inch fish, the average size of his
catch, and would then take a photo
graph of the fish and the background.
According to the photograph the fish
would reach from the eaves almost to
the ground. The length would be,
apparently, anywhere from four to
six feet
When they hoot at his claims and
discount his narratives he says:
“Gentlemen, the camera tells no lies.
Here is a photograph of the monster,
the largest ever taken from the lake.
See for yourselves.”
PACKINQ TRUNKS FOR A LIVINCI
An Occupation Which Ought to Salt
Womin Rad Should Pay In Season*
i What is really a sensible occupa
tion that could be managed from the
women’s exchanges would be that of
trunk- packer. In these days of wide
spread summer travel, packing has
come to be a dreaded necessity with
women. The difference between
skilled and unskilled trunk storing
cannot be fully appreciated until the
two are compared. There is an
economy in it that is obvious. It means
fewer trunks, less destruction to con
tents, and, above all, the blissful
relief to bodies and brains taxed to
the last degree in leaving a house in
deserted summer trim, putting fi nish
ing touches to the family wardrobe,
looking after the comfort of those
to be left, and all the rest. There
was a woman who wrapped
a silk dress skirt last summer around
a jar of grandma’s preserves, which
she could not resist attempting to
bring home with her, who would bet
ter have employed a professional
packer at $1 a trunk. The cleaner’s
bill was 94, and she lost the preserves,
too. The occupation would not be so
laborious to the professional packer
as it is to the amateur. The con
fidence of knowledge is a great relief
in its.elf, and the “professional” would
insist upon the trunk being set upon a
rest and all its intended contents
spread out before her, serious helps to
paoklng which the woman trying to
be ip half a dozen places at once on
packing day often ignores. Mean
time, if you must pack your own
trunks, dear sister, spike your hats
and bonnets to the trunk tray with
your hat pins, discard boxes, pack
bottles only in cork-lined cases that
come for the purpose, carrying them
in a separate bag otherwise and don’t
pack on a damp day near the window
or you’ll find your beautifully starched
muslins and linens limp as a rag when
they are taken out
A Queer Name.
“Fair-play men” was the title given
to a part of Lycoming county, la.,
now densely populated and dotted
with prosperous towns and cities. The
proprietary government, with a view
to protecting Indians from intrusion,
had forbidden the survey and settle
ment of the region, but some hard
treated and hard-handed Scotch-Irish
pioneers found their way into the for
bidden territory, and, being outside
the immediate jurisdiction of any
properly constituted tribunal, they
chose three of their number to settle
disputes, and called them fair-play
men. The decision of this tribunal,
especially as to boundaries, were en
forced by the whole community, and
came in time to be respected even by
the courts. When a chief justice of
Pennsylvania asked one of the first
pioneers what were the features of
the fair-play code, the pioneer is re
ported to have answered that since
his honor’s court had found its way
into the region fair play had fled and
law had taken its place.
An Arch of Gold Coins*
A novelty in the way of triumphal
arches was seen when the governor
general of India Visited Rangoon not
long back. One structure, very hand
somely decorated to begin with, was
still further enriched by being covered
with gold mohurs and real sovereigns
—valuable coins in India—worth over
$50,000, each mohur being equal to
fifteen rupees. The coins were stuck
to the red cloth with a glue that had
been specially prepared for the pur
pose, and was no doubt sufficiently
strong to keep the gold pieces quite
safe from any attempt to steal them.

THE JULIUS TOWER.
It Contains the Millions of Germany's
War Treasures.
The Julius tovrer, not far from Ber
lin, contains the war treasure of 120,
000,000 marks yielding no interest.
This large sum, consisting of crowns
and double crowns, is from time to
time, without long notioe, counted by
two members of the imperial debt1
committee. Entrance to the well
guarded tower can only bo gained if
these two members put their compli
cated keys in the keyhole simultane
ously. Needless to say that there is
always a sentry at the entrance door.
V strict record is kept of the hour
of opening and closing the tower. On
opening it one enters at once into the
rotunda, where the shining 120,000,000
marks are stored. This vast sum is
divided into twelve equal parts, each
subdivided into ten others of the value
of 1,000,000 each. This 1,000,000 is
again distributed in ten bags of 10,000
marks each, two-thirds of which sum
is in ten- mark pieces. When a revis
ion is ordered the number of the di
vision and subdivisions to be counted
is chosen at haphazzard.
For the counting a squad of soldiers
is ordered. As soon as some of the
100,000 mark bags are counted and
found correct the -war treasure is
considered to bo properly revised.
The other large funds—those of the
invalids’ relief and the fortification
building fund—are also overhauled
by carefully comparing the coupon
sheets, numbers, series, &o., with
the original entries. Until the begin
ning of the new reichstag building,
this fund was also kept in the Julius
tower. As soon as the work of count
ing and comparing is finished the
auditor's report is drawn up and
signed by both functionaries—the two
keys are again simultaneously in
serted in the locks—and the revision
of the war treasure is concluded.
The “counters” are drawn up in line
and marched back to the barracks,
the “committee” drive off in a cab and
the “hoard” is left once more in that
absolute quietude which every peace
loving Teuton hopes it may enjoy for
many years to come.
