John K. Cowcn, tho New President
of tho lliitltnorc ami Ohio,
John K. Cowcn, incmlwr of Congress

of tho Uiiltiinoro and Ohio Kallrond,

Cleveland, and It Is argued that In view
of this fact and thu political enmity
existing between Mr. Cowen and Sena
tor Gorman, Mr. Cowen's selection as
president of the Haltlinore and Ohio
has no little political significance.
Mr. Cowen was born In Ohio about
55 years ago. He was graduated from
Princeton College, at which Institution
he formed an Intimate acquaintance
with Hubert Garrett which Is resjionBl-
blo for Mr. Cowen's present Intlueiitlal
position. Tho Intimacy was continued
after the young men left college, and

A imuiufiR'turer of tombstones in a
floiirinliliig provincial town one dny re
ceived a call from a customer who
wished to buy n stone for bis mother's
grave. After looking anxiously about
for some time and making numerous
remarks ns to bis mother's taste he
dually ll.vtHl his gnsse upon n ston
which the ( stone-cutter had prepared
for another person.
"I like this one," he said, decidedly;
"1 11 take tins."
"Hut that belongs to another ninn,"
remonstrated the stonecutter, "and It
has the luune 'Francis' cut on it, you
see; that wouldn't do for your mother. n
'Oh, yes, It would," responded the
country nmii. "Mother couldn't read;
and besides," ha added, as he saw the
stonecutter's expression, "she'd like It
all the better If she could read, for
Francis was nlways a favorite name
of hem, anyhow."
The story Is suggestive of one told of
a London tradesman suddenly grown
rich, who, having set up his carriage
In great state, went to a hnrncssmaker
to have a silver letter put on the blind
ers of his horncfl.
"What Is the initial?" asked the har-
nefismaker.
"The what?" said the rich man, look

Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The
word "bondage" in Northumberland
still means a female farm servant. The
coolies und salters i. a , salt miners of
East Lothian were actually slaves till
775. If they deserted their service, any
one harboring them was liable to a pen
alty of 5 if he did not restore them in
34 hours. Tho last slave in England
was not freed until 17U0, and in 1843
there was a cooly living who, as well
as his father and grandfather, had work
ed as a slave in a pit at Musselburg.

There are hosts of such professional
men in every city who would hardly
spare yon a moment's time for strictly
business matters. Ask one of them in
his busiest hou.-s whether he can recom
mend Paine's oelery omipouud, and
ten chances to one he'll say: "Bit
down. No matter about my being busy;
always glad to praise Paine's oelery
oompound."
That is the feeling among people
who have been made strong and well
by Paine's celery oompound. They
never feel happier than when they oan
persuade some man or woman who is
out of health to try Paine's oelery oom-
pound. .Next
to doing good to one's
self there is a delight in doing oood to
others. There is no more enthusiastic
body of intelligent men and women
throughout the oountry than the great
army of those who have recovered
health by the use of Paine's oelery oom- oelery compound should be taken with-Pn,nd-
out delay. It will restore the heakh
