In the nettr years to come New
York will be one of n mighty chain
of great cities. Fifty yen re ago
the Onmhn. the Kansas City, the
Seattle, the Los Angeles of today
were only misty tlrenins of the few
who dared to look to the future
with faith.

Some discontented ones will tell
yon, young insn, that the more

the dismal complaint of the shortsighted,

Beware of him.
The internal revenue commission
lias made a ruling that is
likely to cut out the mail orde~
whiskey trade. It decides that a
dealer is privileged to sell only
where he pays the tax and that he
cannot consign goods to various
places on 0. (>. 1). oidere,

cent, while between 25 and 30 the
chances in her favor are only 18
percent. Apparently it is rather
dangerous to say no to the tiist
man.
A clergyman asserts that a man
who receives more than $25,000
fmlary is a thief. It was Senator
lien Wade of Ohio who said twenty
yoars ago that no honest man
could accumulate more than $50,000
in a lifetime. To both imputations
the country editor will
plead "not guilty."
Detroit, Michigan, enjoys the distinction
as a drug center. An immense
laboratory in that city has a
frontage along the river of some
seven hundred and fifty feet and
covers more than fourteen acres of
laud. In this big pharmacy are
employed two thousand people
busy manufacturing various kinds
of remedies for the many ills of
which the flesh s heir to.
There is one man who always
deserves your sympathy and help;
that is tho poor man unskilled as
to a trade or profession, who is
honestly and laboriously trying to
feed and clothe a large family. If
you can give such a man work, do
so; if he works for you, pay him
fair wages and do not make him
wait for Iiih money. No mure ne
rioua problem confronts any man
than liow to feed, clothe and educate
a family of live or more children
on average daily earnings of
Jess than a dollar a day.
The late Judge Andrew Wylie
of Virginia had a happy gift of illustration.
In 1860 the judge cast
the only vote for Lincoln that waa
given in Alexandria. In an address
on Lincoln ho once illustrated
in an odd way the power of
pereerverance. "Lincoln persevered,"
he said, "and it is only
those who persevere, those who
Concentrate their energies, who
succeed. Don't give three years
to journalism and then, discouraged,
try the law awhile. Don't
learn the grocery business and in
a little while take up placet* mining
or plumbing Consider, rather,
the postage stamp, whose usefulness
depends entiiely on its
ability to stick to one thing until
it gels there."
One of 1 li*? New York papers is

six dozen suit cases, a case of five

Dealers Must Pay License
Within the next few weeks the
druggists of this State handling
certain grades of patent medicines
will have to takeout internal revenue
luvni-e as retail liquor deal
eu?, says The State. The order
issued by the commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington
several mouths ago stated that the
manufacturers of certain pitent
medicines would he liable for a
wholesale revenue license and all
the druggists handling these
brands would be liable for the $25
retail license because the medicines
contained a certain percentage
of alcohol. The time for pay
meiitof the retail tax was extend -d
to April 1. 1006. and already the
revenue depurtmont here is beginning
to receive inquiries about
it. It is expected that the order
issued will be amended so that a
number of othor medicines will be
included. Itisstuted that this it:
not intended as a reflection on
these medicines, but as they contain
the percentage of ulcoho!
liable for tax the rule must be en
forced. There are no makers ol
patent medicine in this Statt
liable lor the wholesale tax, but
all of the druggists handling
these medicines mentioned in tin
order sent out by Com mission'
er Yerkes are liable for the retail
.tax. The circular sent out extend
ing the time fur the payment ol
this tax is in part as follows: "Bj
reason of the care given in making
analysis of these compounds tin

the examination of all such com
pounds now upon the markot
However, it has made analysis ol
the following preparations and

The editor of The Times ia in
receipt of a request to publish an
an article concerning the little son
of Dr. E. L. Byers, of iSeeley ville,
lud., who was stolen from hlis
home in May, 1(J05, and but for
lack of space we would cheerfull}
publish the entire article. Dr.
Byers and wife, who are described
as being heart-broken, have spent
their entire resources in search
for their only child, and now ask
the meuibei-6 of the press to come
to their assistance.
The boy, Richmond Byers, if
alive, was 6 years old last July, is
of light complexion, has gray eyes,
left noticeably crossed, has a small
V shaped nick in the edge of the
loft ear, has a sharp chin and narrow,
projecting forehead. He is
rather small for his age and is unusually
bright and intelligent,
talking nfter the tnauner of a boy
much older.
There is h standing reward of
$500, awaiting any information
that will lead to the boy's recovery.

What the Future Has in Store.
One of the greatest railway men
in the world baa predicted that
within twenty years the steam locomotive
will be found only in
museums, and that its place will
be supplied by the electric motor
propelling trains across the continent
at the rale of sevety-tive
miles an hour.
Such a possibility as this illustrates
the astonishing rapid rate of
developments in which tiie mechanical
world is progressing. The
nineteenth century was the age of
steam; the twentieth century is to
be emphatically the age of electricity,
which is already apparent
throughout New England and the
^outh.
No one can safelv nr 'diet iho
r* """ *MV
limits to which electrical development
will proceed, but it in safe to
say tlinf at the end of thin century
condition* of life upon thin globe
will be wonderfully changed from
those which now exist, by reason
of the increasing ability of man to
control this mystetious but marvelous
force to his advantage.
It was considered a labor-saving
device to build the steamship, but
the steamship lias brought the
whole world into lour very close
and compact oornors It was considered
a labor saving device to
build the locomotive, but the locomotive
takes you to the open
plains, the fertile valleys and the
gold-lined mountain sides, so you
can reach the harvests of the Almighty,
which had you relied on

returns. The estimate, of course, is
in the nature of h guess, and it is
not to bo understood that this is 1
nil unusual condition unless it be
because the delinquents are so few
instead of s > many. There nre always
a number of delinquents to
put on the books with penalties,

The county board of commis1
sioners held tin ir regular monthly
meeting in tin- office of the super1

1 and devoted their tune principally
to the nnditing of accounts. A

1 was submit ted. The plan submitted
! contemplates two steel spans of
- 85 feet each, resting on steel
piers, with 250 feet of wood appr.
laches. 420 in all. Tiie roadway
' is to be twelve feet wide. The esti'
mated co-t of t he bridge is about

' one-tliiid of the amount is to be
' raised by private subscription and
> that York and Lancaster comities
are each to pay half of the remain
ing two-thirds. There will be
nothing definite about the matter
until after a conference between
