Triad Plain Speaking
It wan the first afternoon of the clab
meeting, and the girl who prides her-
self on the earnestness of her aima and
objects in life came into the room with
the light of a noble resolve glorifying
her countenance.
"I'v6 been reading the loveliest book
in the world, girls," she exclaimed en-
thusiastically, "aud henceforth I shall
never flatter or deoeive any body 1 The
author says that flattery is tbe worst of
sins and that"—
"Tell us your experiences next week,"
interrupted tbe saroastio maiden grim-
ly. "They'll be a lot more interesting
than an account of the book's preach-
ings, and besides"— But tbe earnest
girl bad flown off in indignation, and
she was decidedly meek and crestfallen
when next the club members met
You needn't laugh," she remarked
to the sarcastic maiden, who was grin
ning expectantly, "for I believe what
the book said was true, only we're not
sufficiently developed to live by Buch an
elevated standard. You know, I said I
should never flatter anybody again all
tny life. Well, that was last week.
Now I'm going to flatter everybody.
ve had enough of plain speaking to
last me a lifetime. Last Monday I tolc
mamma she was getting crow's feet
when I knew she wanted me to say she
wasn't. Next day Mamie asked me how
old I thought she looked, and I told her
honestly. Mamma hasn't got over being
vexed yet, and, as for Mamie, I don'
suppose she'll ever speak to me again.
"Wednesday our pastor called and
wanted my honest opinion of his last
sermon. I told him, and he was awfully
hurt. Friday I told my dressmaker that
considered her awfully careless with
nice material, and she left the house in
anger, with my new dress half done
and not a soul among us who knows
how to finish it. Other dressmakers
won't, you know, so what shall I do?
"That's the way things have gone
all week. Now I'm going to say love-
ly things on principle again, whether
they're true or not. You girls do look
perfectly stunning," she continued
sweetly as her listeners sighed sympa-
thetically. "I do think we have the
prettiest set of girls in the city in our
club and the nicest."
And then she wondered that they
didn't really seem grateful for the com-
pliment. "They acted just as if they
didn't think I meant it," she told her
chum afterward.—Chicago Times-Her-
ald.

A CONSIU&JiAJUi R DTFFF.K.
Ia discussing tbe banking fane
of the United States treasury
the inadequate powers given
it properly to discbarge them, the
Times remarked on Friday:
"When anybody wants gold
from this side an agent is merely
sent to the United States treasury
with greenbacks to exchange for
It, and the treasury, whatever may
be ita straits, or those of the conn-
try, has no alternative but to
■ake the exchange. It has some
of the fixed functions but none of

defensive safeguards of a bank.
II can raise neither the price of
Its gold nor the discount rate. It
■aat famish gold at a uniform
pries, practically fixed by law. or
dishonor its notes and convnlse
the country with panic."
On this the New York Sun com-
sients as follows:
"Tbe treasury does n~t nepd
aay defensive safeguard beyon.l
the very simple one of locking np
the redeemed greenbacks. This,
of itsslf, will si ways so deplete
ths reserves of the oanks that
will be foiced to put up their

were no greenbacks in existence,
the banks would have not only to

There does not exist in Spain
today a single element, nor even
the shadow of an element, which
has any regard for the rights of

aristocracy is for war, the mer-
chants, the professions and the
trades people are for war, the
clergy ia for war equally with the
mobs in the streets. Hence it is
the height of folly to delay action
awaiting Spanish second thought

neither. There is but one thing

IMPROVEMENTS IN PISTOLS.
They
Have Lowered In Price Rod In-
creased In Reliability.
"There has been more progress made
in tbe revolver trade in tbo past ten
years," explained a Connecticut revolv-
er manufacturer to a Washington Star
reporter, "than in any other line of
trade that I know of. There was a
time when even the old fashioned sin-
gle barreled pistol could not be manu-
factured to sell for less than $ 1, or even
more. That time bas gone, and the sin-
gle barreled pistol is a thing of the past.
In its place came the revolver, which
is now made in all sizes, from a vest
pocket revolver to that which is carried
in a holster. The prices have kept on
going down a9 the revolvers have im-
proved in manufacture, so that now a
perfect working and reliable revolver
can be bought at retail as low as $1,
ana even tn« hVmmeTless
revolver, which five years ago sold at
retail at $10 and fia, can now be
bought by the carload as low as $2 or
|3, and the better goods at from $4 to
$6. In these arms tbe best steel is used.
The German revolver, which was the
only one which ever seriously competed
with thoseof Amerioan make, has about
run out its race and is never offered
any more except in country stores,
where it is bought by boys. It is clum-
sier made and heavier than the Ameri
can revolver and no more compares
with the latter than than does the Eng-
lish line of revolvers, which at one
time were very freely sold in this coun-
try. Likewise the American rifle and
shotgun have outdistanced all other
makes, though the German cheap shot-
guns still find a good market with those
who do not care to put much money i
a gun. The American double barreled
shotgun, which sells at retail for about
$12, is a much cheaper gun in the long
run than the German make, which sells
at from $5 to $6, as all of those who
have had experience with them discov-
ered long ago."
A Carious Epitaph.
The following epitaph is copied from
a tomb in tbe vicinity of Port Royal,
Jamaica:
"Here lieth the body of Louis Caldy,
Esq., a native of Montpellier, in France,
which country he left on acconnt of the
revocation. He was swallowed up L/
the earthquake which occurred at that
place in 1692, but by the great provi-
dence of God was, by a second shock,
fluDg into the sea, where he continued
swimming till rescued by a boat and
lived 40 years afterward. "—Nuggets.
Hall.
Among the many famous and beauti-
ful seats of the nobility of England ia
Eaton Hall, but few seem to know of
tbe vast extent of this splendid home of
the Duke and Duchess of Westminster.
So numerous are the rooms that 60
suits are Bet apart for visitors alone,
hut it is only on the occasion of a royal
visit that the true size of this beautiful
hall is shown. Wben the duke and
duchess are alone or have only a small
bonse party, they prefer to occupy a
house which is attached to tbe ball.
Love's Exit.

How to Find Out.
J Fill a bottle or common glass
j with urine and let it stand twenty-
| four hours: a sediment or settling
: indicates an unhealthy condition
j of the kidneys. When urine stains
j linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to
nrinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
what to do.
There is comforc in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the grei.t
kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid-
neys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinrry passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get np many times
during the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its won-
derful cures of the most distress-
ing cases. If you need a medi
cine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a
