Every day or so the solicitors for
this paper are given a talk by some
business man that they can buy
printing cheaper away from home
than they can here. In very few in
stances is this true, and usually when
express on the packages Is computed
as apart of the cost it Is found that
the work costs more away than at
home. But of what business can this
not be truthfully said? If we are all
to adopt the rule of sending away for
everything that can be bought cheap
er away than at home, we had best
establish a Montgomery-Ward pur
chasing agency here, bunch orders
and import everything. It will save
money and likewise clear up the
townsite of buildings and release sev
eral acres of valuable peach ground

Make Them Study in School.
Pupils in the grades should study
very little outside of the school room,
because they ask and receive too
much help from persons who haven’t
the time to teach them to think.
Many schoolrooms are no better
than a correspondence school; the
lesson is assigned by the teacher,
who instructs the pupil to prepare
the lesson on paper for the recitation
next day. The lesson is prepared in
written form by some one (possibly
while the pupil was asleep) and pre
sented to the teacher for correction.
The teacher is too busy drawing blue
pencil marks through the work to
take the time to find out if the pupils
know anything.
Very often the pupil receiving the
highest grade is doing least, because
some one else is doing the work, and
the one receiving lower grades is do
ing most because the work is all his
own.
And still we wonder, after the pu
pils leave school and go out into the
world, why the brighter pupils are
outclassed by the duller ones, when
they must solve the problems of life.

As outlined in last week’s Hkrald,
Meeker held h very creditable cele

Friday evening, Feb. 12th. The ex
ercises were under the auspices of
the local post. Grand Army of the
Republic.
At the public meeting in the court
house hall. Comrade J. W. Williams
presided. Tho principal address was
made by W. H. Clark.
At Denver the celebration was a
notable ooe, participated in by the
legislature and the leading men of
the state and city.
The principal oelebratlon of the
nation took place at Hodgenville, La
Rue county, Kentucky, where Presi
dent Roosevelt laid the corner stone
of an impressive memorial to be con
structed to care, for all time, for the
rude log cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln waS'born, and in which lie
spent the first few years of his life.
Next in importance was the cele
bration at Springfield, 111., the scene
of most of Lincoln’s political life.
The French and English ambassadors
paid high tribute to tiie memory of

life to preserve the union, Abraham

joyable social functions of the season.

and many of the older set, attracted
by the promise of good music, a good
supper and a good time generally,
turned out Anticipated pleasures
soon changed to realisation —a gay
crowd, bright with color, full of fun
and capable of enjoying to the full
an evening unsurpassed in per
fection of detail and consummation
of willing labor at the hands of the
directors.
The orchestra was attuned to the
spirit of the occasion and entered in
to the fun with a zest that kept the
dancers stepping merrily, and none
thought of putting an end to the jol
lity until the clock had thrice sailed
the hour after midnight.
The citizens of Axtftl and surround
ing country observed Lincoln Day
by giving a well attended dance, and
the occasion was a very enjoyable
one. The affair was largely in the
hands of. Messrs. C. J. Duffy and C.
H. Wolcott, which is equivalent to
saying it was a grand success.

Why Such a Comparison?
The New York Nation begins an
article with these words: “The ac
quital of T. J. Hains brings up anew
the question whether tiie morals of
New York are any better than those
of a frontier mining camp.” Now,
we have heafd some pretty tough
things said about frontier mining
camps, but nothing quite so tough as
that.
There is short shift for the assassin
in mining camps; no mercy to be
trayers of innocent women; infinite
tenderness to children; adventurers
and adventuresses are soon estimated
at their real worth; frauds and graf
ters are speedily understood; there
are no reeking tenement houses, and
broad charity is the rule. Why
should the morals of such a place be
compared to that of New York City?
What depth of depravity whs ever
sounded below what New York City
can display? And why should an
honest mining camp be slandered by
invidious comparisons? Goodwin’s
Weekly.

A good day's work is the best

He who fears to make foes fails to

It’s no use wasting blows on the

You get mush instead of inen when

INDIGESTION ENDS.
You can eat anything your stomach
craves without fear of a case of Indi
gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your
food will ferment or sour on your
stomach if you will occasionally take
a little Diapepsin after eating.
Your meals will taste good, and
anything you eat will be digested;
nothing can ferment or turn into acid
or poison or stomach gas, which
causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling
of fullness after eating. Nausea, In
digestion (like a lump of lead in the
stomach). Biliousness, Heartburn.
Water brash, Pain in stomach and
intestines or other symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are
absolutely unknown where this ef
fective remedy is used. Diapepsin
really does all the work of a healthy
stomach. It digests your m* ais when
your stomach can’t. Each trianguh*
will digest all the food you can eat
and leave not hing to ferment or sour.
Get a large 60-ceut case of Pape’s
Diapepsin from your druggist and
start taking today and by tomorrow
you will actually brag about your
healthy, strong Stomach, for you
then can eat anything and everything
you want without the slightest dis
comfort or misery, and every particle
of impurity and gas that is in your
stomach and intestines is going to be
carried away without tbs use of laxa
tives or any other assistance.
