Make Way For Ramsey.
Mr. J. L. Ramsey, the editor of the
Progressive Farmer, has announced
himself a candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed the Rt. Hon.
Jeter Constant Pritchard, a former
printerTs devil. We are for Ramsey.
We are for him hard. We never heard
of anybody else who is for him, but
that cuts no figure with us. We have
asoft feeling for any man who has
ever been tinkering around a print shop,
and it Jeter, who once ca.ried water
and pied type for a country
must step down, we, at leaast, would
like to see him succeeded by some
other fellow who has smelt ink, even
though he did nothing more than write
the wholly foolish editorials of the es"
teemed Farmer.

FAKIRS AND THE FAKED.
Tt is strange, but true, that hua.
dreds of people in an enligetened
age and country can be taken in
daily by fakirs. it 1s always safe
to follow the road of truth and
when you turn from that road
you are apt io be caught in a
trap. The saying tuat the best is.
al ways cheapest is well worth re-
membering. This is a day of
cheap things. On the corners of
our streets stands the licensed
. physisians ready and willing to
give you good service if you are
-gick. While he stands there and
waits for a call he sees in the
streets of the city a crowd around
the fakir. The fakir has his oily
tongue and great diarrhoea of
words to convince the able-bodied
man that he needs & tonic in the
shape cf some pleasant liquid or
some small palatable pill; to the
weak man or weak woman he can
administer drugs that will be
pleasant to take and certain to
oéure, for the small sum of 25
cents. So it goes, the money
flows easy and tbe fakirTs mind
runs loose; all in a day. The
medicine is taken home by the
purchaser an@ stored away to
evaporate. That is the way of
the worid. ~lhe papers in a town
may write and advise, the preach
er in the pulpit may warn and
exhort the people toT beware of
the fakir, but the fakir still comes
and goes enriched by the money
of the innocent.. The skiiled phy-
Sician with his superior training
aud years of experience cuts no
figure when the fakir comes
around. That is the curse that
pervades our country. Beware of
the fakir. Your friends are the
ones to stand by and they will
not fake you. It you need a doc.
tor cali on a man who is trained
and skilled. Call on the man
who has come among you to make
a living for himself and to be of
service toyou. Don't spend your
money on stuff that you know
nothing of. If we.were all doc-
tors by hard study and inyestiga-
tion thea we could purchase the
opain killers� found on the streets.
But we are not. Everybody can-
not be skilled in the art of admin-
istering medicines, that is left to
the learned men and women who
are tlevoting their lives to the
study of the human body and its
needs. So the best thing for any
mano or woman to do, who feels
the need of medicine is to go to
& physician that is known per-
sonally or by reputation. You
will gain by tnat process where
you lose by patronizing a fakir.
This applies not only 10 medi-
cal fakirs, but it should apply in
all business. If a, merchant, who
had never been in the country,
wished to buy a farm, a horse, a
~hog or ®, cow, who wonld he
seo? Tho man for him to.see
eee Sa
purchase the land, etc. It would
be a piece of superb folly for him
to go to some little merchant]:
who never lived in the country.
So it ig about a suit of clothes.
Go tothe fakir and get a cheap
suit and you will suffer from the
mistake, Go to the merchaat
that you know is honest and buy
the suit at as low a price as he cap
sell it and if it does net come up
to expectation the merchant will
make it good.
There has gotten to be a great
deal of.selling below cost and the
like. Sometimes men wishing to
go out of business do sell below
cost. When a wan makes a habit
of buying bankrupt goods at low
figures he can sell goods belcw
the original cost, but to seea
man selling out below cost every
now and then, he is a bad man to
buy from. The thing to do is to
trust your merchant. Stand by
him through thick and thin. If
he bites you he will make it good.
DonTt try every new thing that
you see and desert your former
friends. Honest goods bought
with honest money, from bonest
merchants by honest customers
is always the best. Keep your
eye open and watch the selling-
out stores: DonTs buy goods from
a Store that is selling out, just
because oit is selling out; you
may get bit. Stand by your
friends and they will stand by
you."Charlotie Democrat.

Re svits of the Kindergarten.
The results of kindergarten
education in the oider kindergar-
tens in this country have b.en
noble harvests from good seed.
It has been stated on authority
that out of 100,000 chitdren who
received kindergarten education
in one of our Jargest cities many
years ago, only one has been ar-
rested, aud that he was discharg-
ed. This is the euucation of the
whole mass that educates.
Any one who has means and
the time can goon a mission of
humavity in this way. It offers
an Open door where the need is
the greatest, and the influence the
longest and the most evolution-
ary. Every street in America
where there are friendless chil
dren needs a kindergarten school
to offer such little ones sympathy, (
protection, a home, and to bring
secutity to society.
The old nations which are sur-
prising the world by new prog-
ress, as Japan, Mexico, and sey
eral of the South American re-
publics, are accepting the facts
that othe primary school is the
foundation of national charac -
ter.T This is notably so in Japan
where a fow years ago the first
indergarten school was opened
in Tokio, under the patronage of
the poets, music, and flowers and
now numbers in its� branches
nearly 10,000 pupils."From oThe
Kindergarten Age,Tby Hezekiah

Nothing is taught with greater
Or more constant emphasis
throughout the Scriptures than
that God expects man to do some-
thing to bear fruit. No man has
a right to be useless, There is
only one thing to do with the use
less and that is to destroy it.
And God teaches that the uselens
shall be destroyed. No amount
of mercy will ever, can ever wipe
out that trath. God does in the
Gospel of Jesus save.the useless
and worthleo:, but He saves them
by making thew useful and
worthful. Dntif He cannot do
that He musi destroy them. But

Trustworthy Friends
The Richmond Times pays a deserv-
ed tribute to the fidelity of newspaper
people.. It is based upon the incident
at Jacksonville, Fla., last week, when
a reporter went to jail rather than dis"
close the source of a piece of informa"
tion about the court which he bad got.
ten hold of and printed. A meraber of
the grand jury subsequertly appeared
and told the court that he had given
the news items to the reporter, not
meaning todo anything wrong,. and
asked that its censure be directed to-
ward him. The reporter was therefore
discharged from custody. This gives
our Richmond contemporary occasion
to say
~that while it is the business of the
reporter to print the news, he is the
last mau in the world to viclate con"
fidence. The public does not seem to
understand that a reporter has a osi,
lent ear,� and that the only safe way
of keeping a news item out of print
is to confide it to the reporter. if you
try to hide it away from him, the
chances are ninety-nine ina hundred
that he will oscocp� it.

up his job or go to jail before he will

It is an Authenticated Fact
that there ara but few diseases
that have not a cure in some
herb"natureTs own medicine.
The indians and all untutored
races have had knowledge of this
from their incipiency. Rheuma-
~tism, the greatest enemy to man-
kind is never found among the
savages. At the first warning of
its presence, the child of nature
goes to the woods and digs up an
herb which he industrially uses
until the enemy disperses and
aisappears. The secret of this
herb aud its curative powers are
becoming known to the whites
who are effecting cures little short
of the miraculous. Cases of twen-
ty years standing haye been per-
manently cured and when taken
in the early stages it completely
eraditcates the disease from the
system. The name of this herb,
and directions for preparing it in
convenient form, will be mailed
you upon receipt of 50 cents,
which barely meets the expense
of adyertising. The herb is ob-
tainable at every drug store. Ad-

FIRE ENGINES IN TEXAS.
Great Times for the Natives When the
Belis Sound the Alarm.
St Larkins, of El Paso, Tex., was
standing at the door of the Arlington
talking with a Washington friend a/|
few days ago, when a fire engine and |
hook and ladder rushed past with a)
great clanging of bells en route to the |
fire.
oGreat spectacle, that,� remarked |
the Washington man.
oYep, considerable show,� responded |
the Texan. .
oNever see anything of that sort,
down in El Vaso, I sTpose?� said the,
Washingtonian, with a questioning in- |
flection in his statement. |
The Texan turned and gave his friend
a searching look, in which pity and
contempt seemed to strugele for the
mastery, and then proceeded to give
him a few pointers on fires and fire de-
partments as he knew them at home.
oWhy,� snorted Mr, Larkins, ojf we
couldn't get up a better show and/more
enthusiasm than that when a fire/broke
out in our town we'd let her burn
down and move over into Passo del
Norte and live in Tdobes with theT
Sreascrs. Talk about a ~great spec-|
tacle!?) You'd think it was a universal
panorama if you could see the fire de-'
partment of i] Paso turn out once.
oWhy, man, it is counted the greatest
honor that a men in our fown ean have |
conferred on him to be elected a mem-
ber of the fire department. All the best
citizens belong. When the big bell
strikes you bet everything else stops
until that fire is put out. It is the only
occasion when the deal stops at the
faro banks, and when a fire coms on
Sundays that teachers all dismiss their
congregations with a mighty short
benediction and hoof it for the seene,
of the conflagration. |

oThen you oughi to see our engine, |
SheTs a daisy, and donTt you forget. it.
