Mr. Sew Ann has sufficiently re

Senator Jones says timid business

But if he would add laboring men,
he Would have it right.

YOU CAN’T WAIT LONGER
This cold weather reminds you that you must in
vest in more winter goods, to protect your health and
make you comfortable, and the question arises: Where
can you buy to the best advantage? Of course the
catalogues from large city houses quote very low
prices on some things, but when you get them you
find the quality is in proportion to the price, and you
find they were not so cheap as you imagined after all,
and besides they don’t fit very , well, but it is too much
trouble and expense to send them back so you make
the best of it and say nothing. Look over this list of
bargains and we feel sure you can find as good goods
for the money at our store as you can anywhere.

HIS EXCELLENCY.
His Excellency of Illinois is uti
happy.
For him the bright skies are over
cast, the birds do not sing; the son,
stars and moon have disappeared
forever; the glud hand has beon
withdrawn; tho merry laughter of
childhood has been stilled; the fes
tive music of the brass band, the
orchestra and the organ have ceased;
the board once spread with all the
bounties of nature has been swept
bare; the fire in the giate is out; the
cork no longer pops and the cigar
burns fitfully up one side and finally
goes out with an oder that smells to
heaven.
Yet all the world is not affiioted
with cold feet
The darkest days bring Bomethiug
of cheer and good will to all of us.
His Excellency is not the only man
who has asked the mountains to fall
on him and had his invitation ac
cepted. He does not stand alone
among the people as one who mon
keyed with the fountains of the great
deep and was overwhelmed. There
are others.
Man’s days are short and full of
trouble. He comes up like a gourd
and says he will run for office. He
secures the nomination and straight
way he opines that on the issues of
the contest depends the stability of
solar system, to say nothing of the
liberties of the people and the per
petuity of the government. He goed
proudly to the polls with the cohertt,
of freedom and the rest of the push
shouting for victory or death, and in
the twinkling of an eye the adver
sary is upon his neck putting the
boots to him.
Man was made to mourn. He
goes forth in the morning with his
nostrils diluting and his chest pro
truding. He says to the world,
, which is his oyster, “Aha!”
pusses numerous human worms and
is unmindful of them. He designs
great schemes of benevolence, he
proposes wise measures of states
manship, he evolves splendid social
reforms for the benefit of genera
tions unborn, and when he next
meets the humans aforesaid they
are marching in a torchlight proces
sion and carryiug various transpar
encies on which is painted with
fresh lampblack their reply to his
projects iu the eloquent word “Nit!”
What is a politician anyway that
he should be cast down when the
marble heart becomes epidemic
among the voters of a great state?
His life is like the shadows
On sunny hills that He,
Or grass In verdant meadows
That blossoms but to die.
There is a power in the American
ballot box that overrules the affairs
of states and of men. The politi
cian goes up against it in auspicious
times, finds himself among the chos
en ones and, with a beaming conn
tanence, he pronounces all things
good. A few years pass away and
he tries it again for lnck and he
gets the double cross. Is he still
impressed by the goodness of things?
Not he. He lifts np his voice in
long drawn howls. The whole earth
trices on a different aspect and he
ganders among the tombs. ’Twas
iver thus.
Let His Excellency brace up and
look about him. Liberty has net
yet taken flight and will not while
the Chronicle remains to charm and
to encourage her. Peace is here.
Plenty abounds. Qood Will is in
oar midst, even if her raiment does
bear the marks of a few eggs.
Confidence is at the threshold. In
dustry and Prosperity, uever iu so
helpless a condition as some would
have had us believe, are shownig
signs of strength. Even democracy
of the right sort is pretty well,
thank you.
There is much to live for and
much to be thankful for. There are
turkeys and cranberries and pump
kin pies and yams and cider and
nuts to come.
What if he did get a jolly on the
3rd of November? Is that pny rea
i sou why the earth and the fullness
thereof should be given over to
chaoB or any other old thing ?—The
i Chicago Chronicle.
| A cabinet position would be a
good thing for Nebraska. We have
several able republicans who could
iill any cabinet position with credit
to the state and nation.

Thin, Pale
Children
One satisfaction in giving
Scott's Emulsion to children is
they never object to it. The
fact is, they soon become fond
of it. Another satisfaction is
because it will make them
plump, and give them growth
and prosperity. It should be
given to all children who are
too thin, or too pale. It does
not make them over-fat. but
plump.
It strengthens the digestive
organs and the nerves, and fur
nishes material for rich blood.
We have a book telling you marc oa
the subject Sent free for the asking.
