Like ft epeckled apple ia a barrel of good eaes, le an idler in a community of workers powerful to produce similar eoadition in others and that only. Loafers are enemies to society, for they do not suffer the loss of moral back-bone alone, but they flash the discovery before their fellows that it Is possible to scramble through the world without much effort. As Mrs. Josep hlno SImw Lowell says: "The world is divided into two groat classes, not tho rich and the poor, but the. workers and tho idlers." The frowsy beggir of sturdy frame whining at your door, and the child of tho wealthy, killing tlmo in every conceivable fashion, be long to the same class. Dirt and daintiness, rugs and respectability blend in one common downfall of all that is best in human nature The race has hitherto gained solely by the sweat of the brow in some form or an other, and we who toil see no other way to assure further progress. But these easy-goers tell us, in effect, that we are fools; and! they are always gain ing freak listeners. You who are halt ing between two opinions, strong in capacity but weak in will, undeter mined wketber to expend the minimum o! effort in the world, or whether to live of yoar capacity la full measure betke smia years or ant let a toiler speak to you out of a Kill heart. V May ke be ooafoHaded who wotdd weadew away from week. r It baa always beeB a Weeitig in disguise, or, as Wklttier says: 'TO. curt, of earth's sa.raing U the blessing of Its boob." To work U i discover the happy, the healthful: the hopeful way through life: for definite labor puts the nerves at rest uud quiet the feverish heart, If bowed down with sorrow, stricken because a beloved voice is silenced for evci more; Go, Work 1 and the motions of daily duty will solace your spirit. If bewildered atthoapparentcoufusion in the world, misery where there should be joy, crops of dlsappniiimcutfrom a goiittrous seeding of hope; Go, Work! and the concentration of purpose need ed by your duty will relieve your over strained brain, and a clearer under standing of the laws of lifo will be yours. Tho balaueo of tho world's brain Is kopt by toil. With nothing to do and boundless time for thinking and puzzling over the mysteries of our ending, we should become a universe of melaccholic fatalists. 13ut the rhythm of work constantly recurring keeDa us wholesome-minded, Just as the ebb and flow of the ocean purities the world. Work is the anodyne for suffering. It is tho great sanity idle ness, the insanity of lifo. V How nch we loved the wondrous waud la ehlMhood's itor told, Which, waved by the taaglelan'i hand Tuned everything to sold. And changed the cottage mean aud low Into a palacs great, And Made grimed Cinderella glow In robes of royal state. Tet, we too have a niagto waad, Which stranger changes shows, And Makes the dreary desert sand To blottoB like a rote. So kt as tifl our power on high : W. may not, dare sot shirk, And Move the very earth and sky. By stable, bonett work. V Let not be supposeq mat ncnes brings happiness. Tho owners are only kappyifthoy haveKome definite duty la life. Many of tho wealthy toil away andr rnon8ibllities that wouldorush tbo lBeaerieucd. But tho indolent aniQBg them are iuost miserable; the men eat-of-sorts with themselves and tkelr comrades, following evlltodrowa refteettoB.aBd being of suck little im ortaJMM to tbe world wken they pass away that they beoomo Botkisg more 'thai . worthless names to occupy valMBle suaco on h hesdstoas; the woBMta, wrapped up ia o&l-sh.rlBklBg ambttUM and devoured bypemrJe! vales aoworthy of humanity, They tor drew sake, havisg Biere without thau there is with in, and strat their little day Hke pep pets on parade. No sowl gets shtisfac Uoa from that sort el life, aay mere thaa the predlgal eoald lad Bearish- meat la husks. Ho spead bo time piaiag for a eoadition of ease that has more dangers thaa poverty. I tell you that I see more happiaesi 1b the faces of shop-girls hurrying home from work, than a whole room full of idling women. The girls toll, rest, take their wages and look at the duty of life with an air of indepen dence. But tho idling fashionables are scarcely raised above the standard of a Turkish harem; thoy have been bar tered for with dowries, bought with social prestige, and thou shut up to an objectless life of souial inanities. Hap pier are thoy, and ft cor to cltooso a fit ting mate, is tho poorest child of toil, barefoot beneath the burning sun. V KOU OTUKUS. In aching thought I tiondered deep On life's mysterious maze, And why tho world mutt ever weep The wicked proper Inhli way For ever. Aileep I fell, full wearily, Still gating on the maze, And lo, an angel beckoned mo To verdant height light touched by ray Of sunlight. And thaneo I saw the tangled web Btrctched out In beaatsous plan, And marked the tea of trouble ebb Recalling there that man and man Wert hMthen. And 'neath the picture written clsar, I read Ufa's stent sign Th. on. all heallsg panacea The rut that make, aae life dlvlat "f Mother."

If you do, you have indigestion, wbicb means not digestion. This may be tbo beginning of so many dangerous dis eases, that it is best to take it in hand at once and treat it with Shaker Di gestive Cordial. For you know that indigestion makes poison, which causes pain and sickness, Aud that Shaker Digestive Cordial holps diges tion and euros indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by provid ing tho digehtivn materials in which tho sick stomach h wnnting. It also tones up and strengthens the digostivo organs nnd makes them perfectly healthy. This is the rationale of its method of cure, as tho doctors would say. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to 81.00 per boiile, i.i .- . Humbug?) m Advertising. A prominent letail merchant in southern New York once mado tho re mark that advertising didn't pay bim. Ho said that he had used a six incli double space in tbo local daily paper for over a year and had received no benefit from it. Then, thinking it a useless expense, ho had stopped the ad. Soon after tho local merchant dis continued bis advertising, a firm in a nearby city in tho same lino of busi ness, went into the local dally with a nine inch ringlo column ad. This ad was changed two or three times a week and after it had been runuing about a month, a member of the firm said that be felt very friendly towards tbat pa per aud its constituency because ho re ceived a great deal of trade from that source. Itwastbon that tho local merchant again contracted for bis six inch double column space and placed a fair ly good ad there. Tbat was more than six months ago, and the same ail has WAtMINQTON MOTES. Speaker Ued weald be more thaa hamaa if he did aot get a little hit swelled oa aeeoaat of the several open references made oa the loor ef the senate to his power as exercised over thehottse, aad the open acknowledge ment oa the part of senators that he had succeeded in coercing the senate, aot only in pushing the tariff bill through, but in shaping the bill itself. These acknowledgements arc among the most remarkable ever made in tbe senate, which has heretofore prided itself on'always having its own way in all matters pertaining to legislation. The npeaker of tho house has always been tho most powei fill individual fac tor in the control of congressional leg islation, but, utiles these senators are badly mistaken, Speaker Heed has been more than a factor; he has been a dic tator. 1 think his power in this ease has been greatly exaggerated. Tho extra 'session of congress that mot in March is now n part of tho Icotintry'H legislative history, and tho tariff hill, upoti which the continuation oitue republican party in power de pends, is now thu law of tho land. That portion of the administration that Is wedded to the currency com mission idea is not entirely satisfied with the work of the extra session, be cause no such commission was au thorized, and those who wished con gress to go into general legislation are aot at all pleased, but those who wish ed legislatiop cealaed to the tariff bill regard the session as having beea en tirely saeoossfal. What tbe people will derwarn A Co. The patent office elafms to have ample proof of every Barge of fraud, it has made against Werburn Co. Tbe hearings are attracting wide attention, and there Is aot room in the patent nBoe to accom modate all tho patent lawyers who wish to attend, The minute the tariff bill was out of the way President MoKinley's special currency commission was II red broad side at cnnRrest. The f emtio paid no atUBtlon to this request for legislation before adjourning, but tho house, al though Speaker Heed and other repub lican leaders woroundei stood to ho op posed to a currency commission, took tip aud pushed tin- bill authorizing tho appointment of such a commission, If tho senators letitin to Washington, next December, with the same ideas on this subject they liave now, it Ih ex tremely doubtful whether this bill will uc posscti uy tue scunic.

Messy For Pcsdtrs. Farmers and feeders of live slock la western Iowa, Nebraska and through the west wilt be encouraged by the ar rangements recently made by the banks, paokiBg houses and capitalists interested in the South Omaha Stock Yards to furnish an almost unlimited amount of money to western cattle feeders. Tho abundant crops of last year and tho prospects for the coming coin crop will, through the corn belt, furnish feed for a great ninny cattle this season, and the farmer can roallse a bolter pi ice for com aud other feed by feeding rattle than to ship to mar ket.

We 'ufco pleasure In calling attoutiuu thelutosl ontcrpiixo of this nature In tho Digitization of the Cattlo Feeders Loai Company, which has just tiled articles of incorporation in Lincoln, with n capital stock ot 1500,000. Tho incorporators and directors of the now company inoludo men of national reputation and in close touch with the live stock interests of South Omaha and Nebraska, together with eastern capitalists looking for a safe outlotfor surplus money.

Ono thing that was donn while tho now tariff law was before tho confer ence committee is uro to be widely commended. Tbat is tbe insertion of n clause prohibiting the manufacturers o'f tobacco or oirgurettos offering any sort of a prizo or premium with their goods. The only pity is that a similar law could not bo made to apply to everything else, but there is little doubt that the introduction of lottery methods into business, wbicb bus grown to iv great evil, is demoralizing in its effects upon our people an a whole.

Through tho west tho demand for feeding cattlo Is largely In excess of the ability of tho local banks to furnish money with which to purchase them and we understand this company is or ganized by people who are interested in the live stock basincss of Nebraska, together with eastern capitalists, to furnish eastern capital to take care of the excess ot paper that cannot be handled by the local banks. The ability of this company to take care of gilt-edged cattle paper, secured on Cat tle aad sheep located on tbe farms of Iowa and Nebraska farmers oa full food is practically uulimitod and it Is intention to tarnish money to feoders of Nebraska, Iowa and tbo territory adjacent to tbe South Omaha market. The Increased demand for stock at South Omaha bas induced the manage ment nf the South Omaha National Bank to interest the co-operation of raonied men to furnish additional cap! tal for the purposes mentioned in this article, and the facilities that are bow offered by South Omaha Banks and cattle loauiog companies should place this market ia pesitiqn to control p. very largo amount or westers trade.
