i THE MODERN BLACKSMITH I'
BLACKSMITHS
In country towns
I m p or t a n t posi
tions are allotted
nowadays. Sine
the times of which
early poets wrote
the business of
the horseshoer has
broadened out to
such an extent
that he Is recog
nized as running
a shop second In
Importance to no
other In town.
In thousands of Instances the
blacksmith wields an Influence in the
town council; frequently he la the
mayor. It Is a common thing to And
him an alderman, and In some In
stances at least, the residence of a
village blacksmith in a prosperous
town is as fine as that of the banker.
In a great many Instances he has a
good store of books; there are One
pictures on his walls. The earnings
from his trade are Invested In shops
that are equipped with every modern
appliance and In many other ways
his general prosperity Is made plain
to the world.
Men In the country now are more
particular about having fine horses
on their farms and naturally more
careful about the way they are shod.
There has been almost as much im
provement In fitting a shoe on the
foot of a horse as there, has been In
the work of a dentist in repairing the
human teeth.
And all this change despite the In
vasion of the equine field by the automobile!
FIGHTIffG OVIVM 1i PEKIff
Pekln, the capital of China, Is light
ing the "opium-shop evil." Efforts are
being made to reduce the number of
dens and to restrict the smoking of
the drug and to curtail the loafing
and vice that accompany opium smok
ing by compelling each shop to take
out a license and to pay a tax accord
ing to the lumber of "lamps" In each
shop. The shops are divided Into four
classes and the fees are graded ac
cordingly from $1 a month to twenty
cents for each lamp, payable on the
10th of every month. The recent
proclamation of the Pekln sanitary
department reads as follows: "Opium
smoking is extremely harmful to the
health and the shops where opium
is smoked are the tetrcats of loafers.
Such places should really be alto
gether prohibited, so that the people
might enjoy more prosperity, and
dens of thieves would thus be done
away with. But as opium smoking has
become such a habit it cannot be got
rid of entirely and at once. The evil
can only be removed gradually.
"There are In the outer city of Pe
kln many opium shops, and it is evi
dent that the smokers are Increasing
every day, which Is very bad. The
department has taken Into considers-
tion the matter and arrangements
have been made for those who will
abandon the habit. In addition, the
opium shops opened In the outer city
of Pekin have been divided Into four
classes and are to be taxed after cer
tain regulations. They are to regis
ter themselves according to their
classes and the number of lamps fur
the payment of taxes so that inspec
tion can easily be effected.
"Shop owners are hereby Informed
of the regulations and that they are
to come to this department for regis
tration beginning from the 30th day
1st moon 31st year of Kuang Hsu. If
any one dares to make a false tleclara-
tion as to his class or the number of
lamps, opens shops without license or
refuses payment of the tax. If dlscov-
ered, the building used for smoking
opium will be confiscated and the
owners strirtly fined as a warning to
these private dealers In opium shops,
All must respect this order and not
disobey."
HAD TO BE IMPRESSED
The driver of the Oaktown stage
was a person of much amiability and
a large fund of anecdote, but his
memory was by no means of the best.
The inhabitants of his native town
made many excuses for him, but eum
ner visitors found hla falling a par
ticularly trying one.
"That man should be complained of
and should lose his position as ex
press agent and mail carrier!" said
one exasperated man who had been
obliged to remain in Oaktown over
another night, owing to Ranny Feet's
forgetting to call for him.
"Well, now, I guess you didn't Im
press it on Hanny that he was to
take ye," said an Oaktown man,
moved to mild remonstrance.
"Impress It on him!" echoed the
summer visitor. - "I wrote my name
on his order book In the postofflce.
I should like to know what more )
could have done."
"Well, now, It's like this." 'said th
farmer, with a half-apologetic air.
"Sometimes there's a number of ord
ers on that book, and Ranny might
happen to forget one of 'em, so what
folks most generally do Is fust tc
write their names In the book, and
then speak to Ranny about it when
he's up on the trip before the one thej
want to go on. And then they ask
Lcmu'l. the poRtmaster to kind of re
mind Ranny when he stops fen th
mall. And then we always deem II
wise to be nil ready to start In time
enough so'a we can walk down to the
cross-roads and head Ranny off, Jusl
for fear tt might slip his mind, allow
ing time to go bark for a trunk Id
rase there's one to be lugged."

A LIVING DEATH.
Vividly Described By Citizen f
Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Andrew Johnson, 411 West Twelfth
St, 61oui Falls, S. D., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills saved
my life. My doctor,
from a careful an
alysis of the urine
and a diagnosis of
my case, had told
me I could not live
six weeks. I was
struck down In the
street with kidney
trouble, and for a
whole year could
not leave the house.
I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, I
Moated at times, my back hurt and I
Buffered a living death. There seemed
no hope until I ' began usln? Doan's
Kidney Pills. Then I began to Im
prove. The pain left gradually, the
swellings subsided, I gained appetite
and weight, and to make a loug story
hort, I got well!"

Consular Reform.
American business men In all parts
of the country are taking an active
Interest In the bill tor the reorganiza
tion of the consular service now pend-
- In congress. Objections to this
measure seem to come only from the
professional politicians, and It Is not
at all likely that the most Important
business Interests of the country will
be allowed to suffer In order that
places may bo kept open for political
workers. Pueblo Chieftain.

A Fugitive From Justice?
Tax-dodging, complicated with per
jury. Is one of the recognized recrea
tions of the unco rich In this coun
try. Magistrate-dodging. In connec
tion with automobile "accidents," Is
another. No billionaire takes shame
to himself for either of these forms
of pastime. But subpoena dodging Is
not quite on the same footing with
tax-dodging, or even with summons
dodging. The distinction between a
subpoena-dodger and a fugitive from
Justice is difficult to draw. New
York Times.
TRAVEL 'By STAGE COACH
It was in that the first regular
e'age coach began running between
the two capitals, London and Edin
burgh. It ran once a fortnight and the
fare was 4, which would be a good
deal more than $20 to-day. The time
taken to the Journey Is not accurately
known, but between York and London
It was four days. This lavish system
of communication was not, however,
kept up, as In 1763 the coach ran be
tween Iondon and Edinburgh once a
month only, taking a fortnight, if the
weather was favorable, to the Journey.
In 1754 a heroic effort was made to
improve the Ixmdon and Edinburgh
roach. The Edinburgh Courant for
that year contained the following ad
vertisement: "The Edinburgh stage coach, for the
better accommodation of passengers,
will be altered to a genteel two end
glass roach, being on steel springs, ex
ceeding light and easy, to go In ten
days in summer ami twelve in winter,
to set out the first Tuesday In March
and continue it from Hosea Eastgate'l
the Coach and Horses, In Dean street,
Soho, London, and from John Somer
ville's, in the Canongate, Edinburgh,
etc. Passengers to pay as usual. Per
formed. If God permits, by your dutiful
servant, Hosea East pate."
In the days of stage coaches people
sometimes clubbed together and hired
a post chaise for their Journey as be
ing quicker and less expensive, and
Scottish newspapers occasionally con
tained advertisements to the effect
that a person about to proceed to Ixm
don would be glad to hear of a fellow
"adventurer" or two bent on the same
Journey to share the expense.
THE OffE JfEEVFVL THIJVG
Acadia College, Wolfvllle, N. S.,
had as its president for many years
a very able New England divine, the
Rev. A. V. Sawyer who was not
given to much smiling or Joking. On
occasion, however, he knew how to
press wit and even sarcasm into his
rervlre with great effect, and he was
very popular with his students.
When the large female seminary
building erected near the college was
nearing completion, the financial com
mittee, of which Dr. Sawyer was a
member, if not chairman, was charged
in stentorian tones by a minister,
fluent In speech, but without college
training, with being guilty of deeds
of darkness that needed to be uncovered.
This charge of misappropriation of
funds was made at the Baptist con
vention for the maritime provinces,
held at Truro, N. S. The speaker re
sumed his seat, and for a little there
was a painful silence. Then the com
paratively slender form of Dr. Saw
yer was Been to rise and move slowly
and quietly out to the front of the
platform.
The dry old doctor brought down
the house by looking up over his
glasses and quietly remarking: "The
good brother thinks there are some
awful works of darkness that need
to be uncovered. About the only
thing I know of that needs to be un
covered Is a gold mine."

SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE.
Awful sight From That Dreadful Com
plaint, Infantile Eczema Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.
"Our baby had that dreadful com
plaint. Infantile Eczema, which afflict
ed him for several months, commen
cing at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
In fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re
lief. We finally procured a full set ol
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there Is nothing too good that we
could say In their favor, for they cer
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was tho most awful sight that l ever
beneld, prior to the treatment'of the
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle

Lydia L Plokham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fait
High Class Druggists
AND 0THER5.
The better clae? of drappicts, everywhere, fire men of Feientific attainments and high integrity,
who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the he t of remedies mid
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions nnd
ecientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, hut
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false hrands,or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a lirst-class pharmacy and the lint st and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with tho satisfaction which srises from a knowledge of the hen fil.i
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of 6tudy and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Pyrup of
Fig3isan excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
aro selling many millions of bottles annually to tlio well informed purchasers of tho choicest
remedies, and they always tako pleasure in handing out tho genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company California Fig Fyrup Co. printed on tho front of every package.
They know that in cass of colds and heudaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of tho liver and bowel, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that thero is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt nnd beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sdl it because it gives universal satiefaction.
Owing to tho excellence of yrup of Figs, tho universal satisfaction which it gives nnd the
Immonso demand for it, imitations havo been Jiade, tried and condemned, but thero aro
individual druggists to he found, hero and there, who do not maintain the dignity nnd principles
of the profession and whoso greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger prolit. riu li preparations
sometimes have tho natno " yrup of Figs" or
"yi tip' nnd of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup comnanv, printed on the package, but thev never have the full name of
tho Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of tho package. The imitations
should be rejected because they aro injurious to the system. In order to sell tho imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, nnd whenever n dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name cif ''Syrup tf Fig1-" or "Fig Syrup," which
does not bear the full name of the California Fin Syrup Co. printed on the front of tho package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be larce or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in ono case he will do so with other medicinal agents, ami in the filling of
ithysicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health ami happiness.
Cnowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through tho druggists, of whom it may he purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
anv imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company
California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return tho
article and to demand tho return of your monev, and in future go to ono of the better class of
