We now know that there is no such thing as an Elixir of Life. But we have learned that life may be prolonged by those who take the right measures. Any man or woman who will take care of health and take the right remedies for ill health, may live to a ripe old age. When •a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening com- pletely knocked out with his day's work, ithont appetite or ambition, he is a sick an. If he does not take the right remedy he will soon be in the grasp of consump- tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some other serious malady. A man in this condition should at once resort to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery. It is the best of all medicines for hard-working men and women. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It gives soured and refreshing sleep. It tones and strengthens the whole system, It invigor- ates the heart and nerves. It makes diges- tion perfect, the liver active and the blood pure. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It strengthens weak lungs, and cures bronchitis, spitting of blood and • obstinate coughs. It is the great blood - maker and flesh -builder. It does not make flabby flesh like cod liver oil, but firm, healthy, muscular tissue. It does not make •corpulent people more corpulent. Thou- sands have testified to its marvelous merits.

They had both been In the trade long enough to know the tricks. Through one of those frequent and sudden yet not un- expected journalistic ohanges they stepped down and out tot ther, joining hands in adversity. Those journalistic gems may as well be designated by name. The ex - scissors editor of '1 be Advocate was Law- rence Dubbins, called "Dubby" for con- venience. He who handled the religious stuff—and I speak not slightingly, using i)nly the trade name --was Dadlel Goby, familiarly treated as Dan. I have never learned how they got to Topeka, but thither they went. There they found themselves, not with heavy hearts, nor yet with heavy purses, but with the conviction that the superb end shaper, destiny, had something in store for theta. And they were not proud, hav- ing mutually agreed that, nothing in the •journalistio line materializing, they or either of them would accept the presidency of a bank, the general management of a railroad, a position on the police force or a miscellaneous job in a mining Damp, as occasion offered. Perhaps they were in a sense independent. Between there they had $500, and what newspaper man in harness would not laugh to scorn the cares of the world in possession of such a sum? As they created no sensation in the Kan - sae capital they were about spending money to move on when they encountered a man inspired, who told them of a town 200 miles due west whore a newspaper could be bought at ruinous rates. Dan and Dubby took counsel togother—went, saw and bought. They settled down to life in Roarersville with $50 cash, no credit and a newspaper very much run to seed. But it had possi- bilities. It was a four page affair and came out weekly if the editor found enough news to fill it up; if not, then as soon as something happened of importance to war- rant arrant the filling and closing of the forms. I would not have it inferred that because the Roarersville Banner seas a post mor- tem orteem sheet it reflected the town. Far from that. Roarersville was really a very wide awake little place. Its population was rated at about 2,000, and in•politics it was all the one way for which the Populist Senator Peffer humbly thanked his Maker. What the town needed was a live newspa- per, and it got one shortly. The two editors wore newspaper men, not journalists, and The Banner was a success from the start. Dan took hold of the editorial end. Dubbins assumed the cares of the business management, and to- gether they acted as devil, oompositibn force and pressmen. They kicked off the edition regularly every week too. The paper was never held bank now for lack of matter. If there wasn't enough news tis fill it up, the two partners made it. Poe hadn't a finer imagination for curdling crimes than Dan. Once when news was particularly scarce, with the forms to be closed at midnight, the business manager went out after dark, waylaid and assaulted the tax collector, against whom he had a grudge, anyhow, and the next morning The Banner had a magnificent story, bris- tling with facts, on the mysterious,' un- provoked and oewardly assault upon "one of our best citizens." Dan wrote a lead- ing editorial, double leaded, on tho affair, offering a reward of $25 for the arrest and oonviction of the miscreant, but he never was caught. This and other details of metropolitan journalism gave The Banner tone. "Oh, this is soft!" mused the latter as the partners sat in the sanctum reading proof. "Dubby, hero is my life work. I shall consecrate myself to the interests of this growing town and live and die among its peaceful people, but our progress isn't rapid enough to suit me. Dubby, a large scheme has entered my think tank." "If it's another assault, you must take your turn at it," responded Dubbing. "Ha, hal That was a rather largely proportioned idea. Dubby, if occasion had arisen for the payment of that reward which we, in the kindness of our hearts, offered for the arrest and conviction of the . assailant there'd have been a lynching in this town and another big story for The Banner. I'm half sorry sometimes; but, as I said, I've been thinking, Ever think any more, Dubby?" "Occasionally, when I haven't anything else on my mind." "Dubby, did you ever make a speech?" "Not in my sober senses." 'Well, do you think you could make I► sober speeeh?" .1 ,,:fight if I had several drinks." "ilal hal Dubby, that's good. But listen I want you to make a speech. All gnmt editors make speeches, you know. You must have observed that there is a nen ornent afoot in this growing settle - most to pave our highways, and that sen- timent seems to bo divided upon the wig - din 1 of such a course," Some clams oppose it." "!'hat's it. Dubby, how would you like to I if a clam?" ' l—a—what the thunder do you mean?" 1,isten, " and he slipped to the door to er••• if the office cat was asleep and the oth- er i,inpl.ayees out of hearing. "How would ,pill like to take the load in theoppositlon, nit. ice a speech against paving the streets a 1 destroying our sweet rural simpliolty, u inunne it and pall for a general protest?" 1)o you want to ruin this paper?" Dried I a!Mins in alarm. I want to improve it." • But if I as ono of the proprietors pro- tist '— ' But," said Dan, "yon won't be ono of 11.r proprietors." • What!" 'That's it. Yon will leave the sheet. 1 inti The Banner will support the move - n one You will draw oat'— 'I'll do nothing of the kind," said Dub- bing flatly. "Yes, you are a clam," mused Dan. "Liston once more. 'Unless The Banner Publishing company, limited, does some- thing sown, we'll stop getting rich, and I don't care to give up that exercise. We need a sensation to boom things. The time has come when, with ilnportant questions pending, this town oan support two papers. But there must be an animus for the second sheet, the esteemed con- temporary. Now, it would be the most natural thing in the world for you and I to quarrel and separate on this pending question, in which ease you would draw out of the partnership, make a speech against the movement and take the lead in the opposition, And, again, it would be the most natural thing in the world for the opposition to want an organ through which it could communicate with the peo- ple. I want you to start and edit that pa- per." Dubbins gazed in mute admiration at bis partner for an instant, then exclaimed, "Dan, you're a born editor!" "And you're a claire I Of course," con- tinued the astute Daniel, "we would each have an equal interest in both papers, and —well, the people mustn't be consulted in all questions of policy." The announcement was printed in The Banner the next day. That evening Dub - bins addressed the opposition r e i>ig got up for the purpose. The issue was forced. The town divided evenly on the gpestion, and the fight began. At About 2 o'olock a. m. Dubbins ol'a'1el- ed around by the back way to The Banner office, and the partners consulted long and earnestly. Negt day Dubbins breached the idea of an opposition organ to the post- master and a few more paving opponents. As Dan had predicted, they bit, and a week later the paper made its appearance. They named it the Roarersville Clarion. Dubbins controlled it absolutely, but he gathered around him an advisory commit- tee of antipavers to assist in managing the sheet and to give it prestige. Oh, the beautiful journalistic war that followed 1 Editorially The Banner dubbed the editor of The Clarion a pullback, an enemy of progress, a moss covered, effete easterner and a clam. Editorially the ed- itor of The Clarion dubbed the editor of The Benner a tool of the capitalists, a plotter, a jobber and an enemy of true western civilization. In the hours before the dawn of day Dan and Dubbins met, smoked, composed their hot broadsides and laid plans for the future. The propavers bought The Banner and the antipavers bought The Clarion, and both sides bought copies of the opposition sheet to learn what the enemy was doing and saying. That fight raised the two papers to the top notch of success. The two editors met on the street. Hot words passed. Dub - bins struck Dan, Dan hit back, their re- spectiye followers took sides, and a free fight followed.. In the confusion the two editors slipped out and escaped to their offices. "You hit me pretty hard, Dan," said Dubbins seven hours later as they com- muned in The Banner sanctum. "We agreed to tap easy." "I had strong provocation," responded the other. "Your first blow was a sting- er." "What was the result?" "Seven variously hurt, 18 arrested, the circulations will advance about 200 copies and there is a warrant out for your ar- rest." "The dickens!"Edited. "Don't be alarmed. I'll see you out of it." Dubbins was arrested. But Dan scorn- fully refused to prosecute him. The whole community now knew what. kind of a man the low down editor of The Clarion was, he said. Sending him to the lookup could not possibly do any good. It world rather have a tendency to make a martyr of the scamp among his misguided followers. Dubbins was accordingly discharged. The propavers won. But the war didn't end there. Now that wouldn't have been journalistic. Tho fight was waged more furiously than over. After another eon - Weans between the Iwo editors, 'Th. Ban- ner proposed that Roarersville erect a new schoolhouse. Emboldened by its success in defeating the will of the people once, The Banner was evidently intent ou doing it again. And the second fight was on. Criminal profligacy, said The Clarion. Those two ably edited journals began to circulate all over the country. A new oensus gave Roarersville a total of 5,000 inhabitants, and this immense gain over the previous figures was attributed direct- ly to the boom started by the two wide awake newspapers. The Banner altered its policy and published two editions a week. The Clarion went one edition bet- ter. The Banner saw the raise. The en- thusiastic citizens bought both papers at 2 cents per oopy. Dan was an artist in his way, and The Banner soon appeared with its pages brightened by cuts. Up went the price to 4 cents, and the citizens gladly paid for their art gallery. Another secret editorial conference. Then the next issue of The Clarion also contained cuts. They looked suspiciously like Dan's handiwork, but all doubt was dispelled by The Clarion's an- nouncement that they were scoured at great expense from a Chicago firm, and consequently The Banner's price would have to be raised, very reluctantly, to 4 cents. Of course such enterprise won rec- ognition. A11 the while the schoolhouse fight was waged, and a goodly suns rolled into the common treasury. It was a pity, theciti- zens said, that such brilliant men as the two editors couldn't agree personally even if their views on publiequestions differed. Theywere really a credit to their pity. The schoolhouse was erected. Then The Clarion became progressive and pro- posed that salaries bo paid the members of he fire brigade and won after a brisk fight What one paper proposed the oth- er opposed, and between them the two ed- itors 111111 up a town of no mean impor- tance Everybody in the county read The Banner and Tho Clarion, and as the two editors nose to wealth and prominence they themselves began to think with the citi- zens of Roarersville that it was a pity they couldn't get together. Both had long been tired of the restraint under which they were placed by reason of their peculiar po- sition, and when it betaine apparent that the town could and would support two well established and wide awake journals a final conference took plane.

How the Indians Proved That the Span - lards Wer. Mortal. The "great navigator" who discovered the new world was very felicitous in his names for the lands he found, and it was with good reason that he called Borinquen, the Indian island, Porto Rico, after the noble harbor in which he watered his ships in November, 1899. As Aguadilla it is known today, and the same palm shaded spring gushes forth now as then in volume sufficient to supply a fleet. Fifteen years later another of fame's fa- vorites, Ponce de Leon, landed in the bay, where he was well received by the Indian cacique Agueynaba, who gave him speci- mens of gold. In the year 1510 he found- ed the town of Caparra, now known as Pueblo Viejo, abandoned the year follow- ing for the more advantageous situation of San Juan), The Indians becoming, as the Spaniards say, disgustados, because they were reduced to slavery and com- pelled to labor in the mines, rebelled and murdered all the white men they could catch outside the settlement. The Span- iards had told the guileless red men that they were immortal, and for awhile they believed them, but Cacique Agueynaba finally conceived a theory of his own and proceeded to put it to the test. , In accord- ance with his orders, two of his followers caught an unprotected white roan while fording a stream, which is known and shown today, throw him down and held his head under water three long hours. Then they took him out, but still with fear and trembling, and, dragging the body to the bank, sat by it during two whole days, until unmistakable signs of decomposition convinced them of the man's mortality. In the end—and it carne quickly—the Indians, to the number of 600,000 or so. were exterminated, but that was a mere incident in Spanish coloniza- tion, and the places they left vacant wore filled with blacks from Africa.—Frederick A. Ober in Century. The Nearer World. When in the year 828 B. C. Alexander the Great staid his eastward march in In- dia and turned his course down the Indus to..seek the sea, a boundary line was set which proved to mean for the history of the human race more than any ever creat- ed by the act of man, says Benjamin Ide Wheeler in The Atlantis. The eastern boundary of Alexander's empire, running from the Jaxartes river southward along the Pamir ranges, "thereof of the world," to the Indus, and then on to the Indian ocean, divided the world and its history into two utterly distinct parts. The part which lay to the east, with its two great centers, India and China, and which today includes a little ever half the population of the globe, had no part nor share in the life and history of the western part, which we call our nearer world. All the elements within this nearer world, stretching from Afghanistan and Persia to the shores of western Europe, have in tho long process of mixture and fermenta- tion which history has suffered since Alex- ander's timo yielded their contribution, small or great, to the civilization upon which our modern life is based. The his- tory which we study, whether of events, institutions, ideas ar religions, has been all a history of the nearer world. Charms and Luck. More than half the men I know wear in their pocket some sort of talisman—a coin of odd date or old or foreign r of strange ge metal, tho inevitable rabbit foot of the true graveyard variety, marbles, small stones, vials, n poker chip, a rubber band, anything found by chance or presented by a friend. Whenever a charm of any kind fails to bring good look to the wearer, he seeks occasion to give it to some dear ac- quaintance, who after trying i'ts potency for awhile and failing to make it work, passes it in turn to some ono ho wants to "get even" with. There is a leading citi- zen of this city who has carried two glass marbles in his pocket these seven or eight years, and he has rubbed them together so much between his fingers that the hard- er has worn a hole in the softer. He would not part with them for gold and precious stones.—New York Press. "WC I regard Ayer's Cherry Pectoral as saperlorto any cold or cough medicine made.
