A citizen who stands pretty well
in his own estimation, and, for that
matter, in the estimation of the
public, also, says the Detroit Free
Press, went abroad for a period of
two years. When he returned to
Detroit the first man he met was
an old friend, who was about to
pass him with a cool bow.
“What’s the matter?” asked the
returned traveler. “Ain't you go
' iDg to speak to a fellow- after such
an absence?”
“Absence? Been out of town?”
“Out of town! Why, man alive,
I’ve been two years in .Europe.”
“No? Can’t be possible. Why
I never missed you,” said his
friend.
The other turned away m anger
and buttonholed an old chum, to
whom he said:
“Well, Pve got back.”
“Been over to N’York?” asked
the chum.
“Thunder, man, I’ve been to the
old world!” exclaimed the disgrun
tied voyager.
“You-don’t-say-so?” was the
amazed retort of the solemn look
ing chum.
□The next acquaintance remark
ed, as he stopped a moment, “I
haven’t seen you for a week or two.
Had haj fever?”
That broke the combination,
The returned traveler got on his
dignity and declined to notice any
more of his townsmen till they seat
a brass band around to serenade
him, and be learned that it was a
put up job to take him down a lit
tle. It is so hard to persuade the
average mortal that he never will
be missed.
Gold In tlie Georgia Rivers.
One of the most promising
Schemes by which a fortune was
not made was that of an inventor
of much mechanical genius, who
got up a plan for getting the gold
out of the Georgia rivers. Most
of the streams which flow from the
gold districts of Georgia have“col-
or” in their sands, but not always
in paying quantities. This man,
says the Globe-Democrat, of St.
Louis, proposed to build a boat
150 feet long, and Have a sluice
running all the way round it, thus
giving a sluice length of 300 feet.
Then, by a steam-shovel arrange
ment, he intended to scrape up the
sand out of the bottom of the river
and drop it in the sluice, through
which a stream of water would al -
ways be running.
The gold would collect in the
bottom as in any other sluice, and
at intervals there would be
“cleaning up,” which he expected
would be highly profitable. As
soon as one locality was exhausted
the boat would move on to another,
and, to use a common expression,
he thought there were millions in
it. The scheme was never tried,
for before he was ready to put it
into operation he found an opening
in Colorado and went out there,
but a great many people in Georgia
believed it to be perfectly practi
cable, and regretted that the ex
periment was not made.
Pills Won’t Cure Dyspepsia.
Dyspeptics are ever hopeless.
They seek relief from their distress
of stomach and of liver, and find if-
not. Indigestion, heartburn, verti
go, extreme lassitude, loss of ener
gy! peeAishness, etc., is the bane of
their existence, and mars the com
placent feelings of others around
the family fireside. Why won’t
dyspeptics come and be cured. It
can be done. There is one sure
way of strengthing the digestive
organs and removing every symp
tom of general debility caused
thereby. But this cannot be done
by the taking of pills and other ca
thartic mixtures. Such treat ment,
while seeming to give temporary
relief at first, in the end aggra
vates the disease and increases the
suffering, for it is like whipping a
tired horse, it irritates and urges
but. the strength to move at last
gives out entirely; Thousands of
former dyspeptics are now happy
in health and strength of stomach,
brought about by use of the finest
of strengthening and healing tonic
alteratives, known- as Dr. John
Bull’s Sarsaparilla, the condensed
virtue of many excellent herbs. It
is the biggest and the best Sarsa
parilla sold.

The young man starting out in
life asks himself over and over
again, “what shall I do?” While
much may depend on the judicious
decision of what trade or avocation
shall be made his life’s pursuit, it
matters less after all what he does,
than how he does it;
The old axiom, “there is no road
to fortune,” has proved bitterly and
sadly true to many a dreamer. No
matter whether a man starts out to
labor with hand or braio, he must
put vim and energy into his work,
or he will -fail utterly. If he does
no higher work than to handle a
pick or shovel, he must put into it
the thought, “how shall I make
each stroke count for the most, in
results?” As there is no trade that
will give a man success without ef
fort, so there is no locality that
will prove an* idler’s paradise, or a
lazy man’s elisium. The man who
has no capital, no brain and no en
ergy, is neither needed or wanted
anywhere; least of all in a bustling
new town. The man who has no
original ideas, who cannot think
for himself, who is dependent on
others for plans, and for guidance
in the execution of plans after they
have been thought out by other
brains, would better stay- where he
is, for he will find business condi
tions about the same everywhere.
The man who never hangs his
hands by his side, saying, “I can’t
fiud anything to do,” is the man
who wins. What he cannot find
he makes. If there is no path he
hews one. If there is no business
for him he creates business. He
puts all the strength of his hand
and the vigor of his brain into the
duty of to-day, and reaches out for
broader opportunities for to-mor
row. Even though to-morrow is
golden with promises he labors
faithfully for to-day’s smaller rec
ompense. Against hindrances he
presses bravely forward; obstacles
he hurls aside; difficulties ht sur
mounts, and wins many glorious
triumphs.
For such men there are places
everywhere. The world is calling
for them, and success will follow
them wherever they may go.
A suit has been filed in the
United States Circuit Court of New
York to test the validity of the
McKinley bill, on the ground that
the bill is not a law, as it was pass
ed through the lower house of con
gress when there was not a quorum
present. The suit is in the name
of a large importing firm, which is
backed by all the importers of New
York, who will, in the event of the
failure of the present suit, make a
fight on the bill, because the tobac
co clause was omitted from the
original bill signed by the Presi
dent, and was restored in the pres
ent law by the conference commit
tee, which, it is claimed, invalidates
the whole bill.
Dou’t be a grumbler. This world
is a very fine world —a beautiful
world—with a great many cares
and troubles, it’s true, but a far
better world, all around, up one
side and down the other, than the
grumbler will ever see. Don’t be a
grumbler! Take things as they
come. Put on a bright face and try
to make them better^ Encourage
the good in life; take hold of your
brother’s hand with a firm grasp
that meaus “I’m with you.” Quit
croaking, quit grumbling. In other
words, be a man, with a man’s am
bition—not a stumbling block in
every progressive man’s way.
The late Justice Miller, on one
occasion said, from his high posi
tion on the supreme bench, “To
lay with one hand the power of the
government on the property of the
citizen, and with the other to be
stow it upon favorite individuals to
aid private enterprise, is none the
less a robbery, because it is under
the forms of lav/ and is called leg
islation. This is not legislation. It
is a decree under legislative forms.
Nor is it taxation * * ■* There
can be no lawful tax which is not
laid for a public purpose.”
