~- A smart cotton man estimates that
tnfe beautiful weather that went almost
entirely through October increased the
cotton crop at least 500,000 bales above
the highest reasonable estimate when
that month began.
The present conditions largely favor
a steady increase in the foreign trade
of the United States, and were our
tariff laws made to harmtmize with the
demands of the natural laws there
would not be a possibility of limiting
the extension of our fields of trade.
Editor Lewis is on the right line

“The pension and the free school

Whoever controls a nation’s food
snpply controls that nation. If a man,

The Agricultural building _at the

St. Lonis is designed to be the largest

contain 32 acres of floor space. This is
in recognition of the fact that the de

through its agriculture, and its present

Hanna is the logical nominee of the

People who act under violent impul
ses seldom act wisely. ‘The sober
second thought” would often undo the
work done under excitement. In
many places men have been severely
handled, and even jailed, for lecturing
oa socialism, and other social and po
litical principles, that no civilized na
tion has ever classed as unlawful.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
In spite of all that is said favorable
to the success of Eugland’s armies in
South Afrioa, the facts warrant the
statement that the Boers are not yet
conquered. Not by a great deal. Al
though their forces have been greatly
reduced, their families scattered, and
their homes and farms ruined, there is
still enough of them left to show a bold
front to the English veterans and “in
dependence” is still their cry.
The Life of a. Coal Miner.
First, the boy of eight or ten is sent
to the breaker to pick the slate and oth
er impurities from the coal which has
been brought up from the mine. From
there he is promoted and becomes a
door boy, working in the mine. As he
grows older and stronger he is ad
vanced to the position and given the
pay of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secures him a place
as a miner’s helper, and as he acquires
skill and strength he becomes, when in
the height of his manhood and vigor, a
full fledged miner.
If he is fortunate enough to escape
the falls of rock and coal, he may re
tain this position as a miner for a num
ber of years. Hut as age creeps on and
he is attacked by some of the many
diseases incident to w'ork in the mines
he makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up the
ladder whose summit he has reached.
He then starts on the descent, going
back to become a miner’s helper, then
a mine laborer, now a door boy, and
when old and decrepit he finally re
turns to the breaker where he started
as a child, earning the same wages as
are received by the little urchins who
work at his side. There is no incen
tive for ambition in the average min
er’s life. He cannot rise to places of
eminence and wealth. Only 1 in 500
can even be given place as a foreman
or superintendent, and these are posi
tions which few miners care to hold.—
John Mitchell in Cosmopolitan.
The Rnssinn Climate.
The Russians count upon their cli
mate as one means of defense, as it
was when Napoleon invaded Russia.
Their troops are accordingly trained in
winter maneuvers, including loading
a battery, with its war transport and
material complete, upon'sleighs, mov
ing it for some distance over a difficult,
snow covered country and bringing it
into action ngaiu.

Dyspepsia Cure
The only practical method of curing indigestion is to use a
combination of all the natural digestants, such as are united in
exact proportions in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. In thi9 way it is
possible to digest all classes of food, so that the body can be
supplied with the variety of nourishment necessary to health.
Ir you are suffering from indigestion we suggest the use of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which completely digests what you eat
and allows you to eat all the good food you want, while it cures
all stomach troubles, even after everything else has failed.
It can’t help but do you good

Dear Sirs:
I beg to state that your “Long-Wind, d" axle is a
perfect success, hiv ng the advantage over any other long dis
tance axle that I have ever seen, in that the oil Cannot run * ut
on the ground, but must be used up on the spindle: and as ihe
sand cannot get on the spindle to grind It out. 1 am sure that
buggies with this axle will not have to have new points put on
the axles, no matter how tong the buggy lasts, The farmers ap
preciate this advantage, hence “Rock Hills” are easy to sel'. 1
Yours truly,
W. B. roddtnbery.
“Cannot rnn out on the ground. ” That’s the whole secret told m Bis words
But it “must be used up on the spindle ” Os course, if it ‘cairn >t run out on
the ground it must be used up on the spindle,” and tnac is the reason we’ve the
dodge on all the balance of them.
And it don’t cost any more than the ordinary atle, but will run twice an
long as any of them. *
“The farmers appreciate this advantage.” Anybody that don't want to be
bothered to death oiling a buggy every few davs will appreciate a thip« that
don t cost a cent and so simple a child can understand it. Has run 2035 miles
with one oiling.
