COST OF THE WAR.
It Foots up About Three Hun
dred Millions.
Washington, May I.—A study
of government expenditures of last
year makes possible an approxi-i
mate estimate of the cost of the
war with Spain. The total cost to
date has not been less than three
hundred million. In April, May j
and June, 1898, the army and navy
expenses showed an increase of
$54,934,377, and for the ten months
following an increase of $220,593,- j
421. Besides, there were many;
expenditures directly chargeable
to the war to swell the total.
In the spring the birds are singing
As they build their summer horns,
Blades of grass and buds are springing,
O’er the mead the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is freighted
With the germs that cause disease,
Humors, boils are designated
Signals warning you of these.
In the spring that tired fe ding
Makes you every duty shirk, —
Makes you feel like begging, stealing,
Rather than engage in work.
But there’s something known that will
Man to health and vigor lead.
You will find Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Just exactly what you need.
Suicide by poison is not more
censurable than by refusal to cure
yourself of Female Troubles with
Simmons’ Squaw Vine Wine or
Tablets.
Col. Bob Ingersol says the men
who lynched Sam Hose were fiends,
and words fail him to anthematize
them as he feels. Perhaps if it
had been Col. Bob’s son-in-law
whose head was split open and
Col. Bob’s daughter was the vic
tim of the fiend, Col. Bob would
not be lost for words. —Georgia
Tribune.
Apt Quotations.
Proverbs, anxious and wise say
ings have been uttered by Confu
cius and other wise men fr<’in time
immemorial, but few people rea
lize how many there are of them.
C. I. Hood & Co., of Sarsaparilla
fame, have over two thousand and
they have originated the ingenious
plan of serving them up in delect
able shape in thousands of news
papers, with each one neatly turn
ing a point as to the merit of their
well known medicine. The exten
sive use of these proverbs is origi
nal and creditable to Hood & Co.
Cable to Belt the Globe.
Great Britain has decided to pay its
share of the cost of a cable across the
Pacific, Canada and Australia being
connected with her in the enterprise,
which will be speedily carried out.
This cable will extend from British
Columbia to Australia, byway of Fan
ning Island and New Zealand. Upon
the completion of this cable, the belt
will extend around the world, and it
will be possible to reach important
points from opposite directions. The
plan is to have an all-British connec
tion, with outlying portions of the em
pire, which is expected to be especially
useful in time of war. According to
the est.mate of the engineers, “the
profit from operating the line will ex
ceed the interest of the cost of con
struction in a very few years. The en
terprise is one of huge proportions and
great importance.
If you have piles, cure them. No
use undergoing horrible operations
that simply remove the results of
the disease without disturbing the
disease itself. Place your confi
i dence in DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
! Salve. It has never failed to cure
I others; it will not fail to cure you.

seems to be satisfied with him as a !

The Old Maid,
The Humboldt Progress, a Ten
nessee paper, has this paragraph:
“Nearly everything and every
body is formed intoa trust or com
bine, except old maids, and they
would be if they could get trusted.” ;
The Enquirer-Sun dislikes to see ■
auch disparaging remarks about
the old maids, Few of them go to
their graves unmarried from choice
and most of them live a life of
self-sacrifice. Many who become ,
old maids have spent the best years
of their young womanhood in
nursing an invalid mother, sister
or father, remaining faithful to
the trust reposed in them until the
last. Years of her life is spent in
the sick room, where she is an an
gel of mercy and kindness. Her
pleasures are few, and seldom does
she get a glimpse of the gay world !
around her, until the flower of her
young womanhood has passed and
she has attained the age where
people begin to call her an old
maid. The title is an honorable
one. God bless the old maid! —

The other day a Chicago lady
went to her lawyer and asked ex
citedly whether ho had filed her
application for a divorce which
she had instituted against her hus
band. “I am working on the pa
pers now,” ha replied. “Thank
heavens, then I am not too late,”
she exclaimed; “destroy the pa
pers and evidence at once.” The
lawyer was about to congratulate
her on her reconciliation to her
husband, but she cut him short by
exclaiming: “Reconciled! no; he
was run over by a freight train this
morning, and I want you to com
mence a suit at once against the
company for damages.”

Good Newspaper Gospel.
City papers are not so perse
cuted with rquests for puffs as
the country brethren, but the
pauper notoriety seeker is to be
found everywhere. He who hogs
is classed as a pauper, and deserv
edly so. A man has no more
moral right to bog for a free news
paper notice than ho has to ask as
a gift a free lunch, or a new hat.
One may seek notoriety, if he
please; but he has no right to ask
it at the expense of others A
newspaper is divided into two
parts—one for news and com
ments, the other for advertising.
The editor knows what constitutes
nows, and he does not care to fill
that department up with items
that are of no interest to the gen
eral order, and only concern the
individual. The advertising de
partment has space for sale. The
newspaper has expenses to bo met,
and must depend largely upon the
advertising fur its maintenance.
The advertising space is a commo
dity—as sugar, coffee and flour.
One should feel just as degraded
in begging a puff from a newspaper
as >n begging a sack of flour from a
grocer —Newspaper Maker.
