A clergyman, who had already buried two wives, fell in love with one of his congregation, a pretty, lively girl, who knew her own mind and spoke it freely, and wrote her a note telling her how he loved her and wished her to be his wife, begging her to accept him and "thus help to repair the breaches time had made in his life." Her answer was terse and to the point and came promptly. "Mend your own breeches." --Spent tlore Than $1000. "My wife suffered from hlung trouble for fifteen years, she tried a number of doeters and spent over $1000 without relief," writes, W . WV. Baker of Plain view, Neb.

Illinois has only $13. 43; Kentucky none; Ohio, .10.71; Pennsylvania, $16.72. These figures are made more significant by the fact that during the last two decades the aceauuulations of Maine have been sent to the West for invest ment steadily, continuously and relatively to her means, in a pro digious amount. In these in vestments losses have been heavy. Notwithstanding this, her savings deposits have increased $40,000, 000 in the last 38 years, and while her population since 1850 has increased only twenty per cent., her valuation per capita has increased 252 per cent. From 1850 to 1890 the percen tage of paupers increased in Illinois 176 per cent.; in Kentucky 173 per ceut; in Ohio, 138 per cent; in Pennsylvania it remain ed practically the same, while ir Maine the percentage has decreas ed 145 per cent.

In a few of the ecunties the treasurers still go over the county for the purpqse of collecting taxes, thus making it more con venient for the people to attend to this duty that can not be dodged. In these same counties the editor of the county paper usually accompanies the treas urer, so that subscribers may not be put to any inconvenience in paying their subscriptions. This custom of the treasurer making an annual tour of the county has I been very wisely discontinued in other counties, as the risk to the life of the treasurer is too great. So people now come to the county seat to pay their taxes or remit by mail. The time for the pay ment of taxes is now on and this . is merely to remind subscribers to the News and Herald that the old custom of settling for the county paper at the same time that taxes are being paid is a mighty good one. Sick headache is causedPby a disord ered condition of the stomach and is uuickly cured by Chamberlain's Stom a.h and Liver Tablets. For sale by 1 Oear Drug Co. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAM19 BACK?
