An o!d gentleman who had spent the summer in New York, was asked how he liked the looks of the society ladies.

At a recent business convention Ex., Governor Francis of Missouri, who is in a position to know whereof he speaks paid tribute to the local newspaper as fol lows: "Each year the local paper gives from 4V)0 to $.1,000 io free lines to the com munity in which it is located.

The editor, in proportion to hi means, does more for his town than any other 10 men, and in nil fairness with men he ought to be sup jiorted not becaiue you like him or ad - mire bin writings, but because the local paper is the best investment a communi ty can make.

Two pennies dro(iped on the ledge of the brass-barred window. Tim nostal .-ierk loolied up. Ho was out of sorts Two holidays in succession had beju too much for him. A little goideu head ap peared just topping tho ledge. "Weil?" snapped the clerk. He had just opened his window in the postollice yesterday morning and eight hours of the hardest kind of work were in sight. The little girl who had been firnt in the line, hesitated a moment. Then she plucked up courage. "Please, mister," slw tieguu, "I want a stamp for this to send it to my little brother." Jn her hands she held up a package clone up in brown paper and roughly tied with a bit of coarse twine. It was almost falling apart in her liny hands. She held it out to the clerk, who took it with the same grace that h) had taken thousands of packages during tho holidays. He looked at tha address to sue whether it was foeign or domestic Then tie look ed at the child. There was a. queer look in his c.v- that had not been thero before Poslofllce clerks see many strange pack ues aud any quantity of them addressed to" Santa Glaus," lint this one was not for Santa Clans. It read: I Koun rr mcsau(iiito.n. j i llEWM, i l-or a moment the clerk li su.iud. Tii'i little ode tout: it for a iv.fti.vil to ace pt the parcel because she haJ not pad i nough for the postage. Quickly the tiny liiiiids iiml.ha at a little purse where two more pennies were in ke;pui i hihe wei on the w indow ledge in a moment with the oilier two. "There's more iiennies, sir" said the little one. Piease take it now. I Invent any more pennies." "Why, my child," said the clerk, who had babies of his own at home, "I " "Oh, please," broke in the little ooe," it's for my little brother in heaven. He Uieil last wick and perhaps lie Is so strange in heaven that God has forgoteu to L'ife him anv Christmas present, And he'd be so dissipointed." Tears were in the clerk's eyes I y this time he was thinking of the littlo flax en haired one of his own at home. Tears were in the chillis eyes too, and the little lip was quivering. 'Oh, sir, it's all right," she insisted. "This is my very own to giveaway. Santa. Claus brought it to mo on Christ mas. My papa dosu't know and my ma ma does' tit know. They cried ou Christ mas 'caus Uobliie had gone to livo with the angels. But I want to seud some thing to Robbie all myself." Tho little one was crying now. Her sobs came hard and fast. Her poor little heart was on the point of breuking. "Eobbie went away to God last week? she sobbed, "and little Elsij has no one left to play with!" The clerk blew his nrse very hard and then he explained that the mail did not go where her little brother was so happy with the angels. It wasn't bu-aiiso she didn't have enough pennies to pay for it, it was because the steam cars coulu't go there, He was as tender as he could be, and one woman in bla- k who had come on the line that was kept standing there because of the little ones pleading began to weep. So the clerk handed the package back to the child and she turned away with teat's of bitter dissapoinment in her eyes. "Robbie will have no Christmas!" she sobbed. Just then the cover came off her preci ous package. It held a little white lamb tied with a pink ribbon. "Oimnie ten twos," chirped a voice, and the clerk turned back to the routine of his wor!:.

Whnt TO Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root the great kidney remody fullilis every wish in i-uring rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bhulder and every part of tha urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scal ding pain in passing it, or bad effects fol lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up 'ninny times during the night.

The second important fact is that national tankers get the na tional bank notes issued to them bv the government at an annual rate of interest of one per cent and they loan this money to the people at from six to twelve per annum. What the bankers want is for the government to farm out to them at one per cent per annum, the privilege of famishing the money necessary for socie ty. Nor do they stop at such audacious propostion as this for, mind you, the bill now before congress reduces the annual rate of interest to the bankers from one per cent to ono-qnarter of one per cent per annum. j This same class, the bank ring- wanted to get rid of silver for the same reason, viz: That it might have an enlarged field for its money, the national bank notes. And now the bankers are trying to get rid of the greenbacks for the same reason. They want the exclusive privi. lege of supplying the money of the nat ion for their special benefit and enormous profit- Ghetts. The Rev. Irl B.
