Dead people ar;j the onas that neyer make mistakes. Newspaper readers would do well to remember that thera are no perfect people, editors or renders." ttlt Such is the hs idiog of a very able article which appeared in Collier's Weekly 0! January 20th. Its author is Congressman W. P. Brownlow, of "Good Bonds Make Great Nations." num'.e -f articles about government aid to public roads, in which it was cla.imd that the G jvsrnment can as well aid the public highways on land as on water. Congressman Brownlow says that the entire constitutional ity of the Government aid to nublic roads Is now almost universally admit ted, ana be argues well the justice of such a movement. He says that it is the gteate.it and most important question before the people and before the Government. The farmers of the country pay more than half the taxes and receive no cireet consideration at the hands of the Government. Willie the farmer might be the first to be directly benefited by the mak ing of good roads by the Government, he would by no means be the only one benefited Mr. Brownlow points out the industrial, educational and moral aivaiuaes to be derived from good roads. When the farmer, who is thd matustay of the world, prospers all others will prosper accordingly. Good ro;ds make it possible for the farmer to realize a large per cent, more from the products of his farm. The rural schools are the seats of learning whence c-ime th best and truest men for every phase and station and call ing in 11 !e. Good roads will do more towards making splendid possibilities in the country districts than any other one interest. Take away the whole sora3 and moral influence of the country churches, and you strike a blow at moral progress and development. Good roads are one of the greatest con veniences tor the rural population to get to church on the Sabbath. Congress man Brownlow says that the present Congress can do much for the relief of the people throughout the country if only the members of that body will take a serious view of the matter and go to work. He closes his very able paper by asking the question, "Will the people let their Senators and Representatives sleep upon a bill which proyides for their paramount needs?" He clinches the whole matter in the last sentence by declaring that "without the demand frora the people Congress will not act." The season of Indigestion is now at hand.

Lists of Investors Become Valuable A3sets and Are Carefully Guarded by Their Owners. The holder of two shares of the stock of a well-known coporation succeeded a few clays ago in obtaining a writ ot mandamus giving him the right to in spect the company's books for the pur pose of taking a list of the stockholders. All large corporations make it a point to oppose an application for this privilege, owing to the experience that in a major ity of instances it is likely to be abused. The business of merchandizing in names plays an important part in tfie machinery of Wall street. There Is al ways a ready market for a list of good names. The value of a list is deter mined not only by its length, but by va rious qualities adapting it to the uses for which it is offered. An exclusive list is much more valuable, states the New York Times, than one which is in gen eral circulation. A list that would be valuable to a speculative house might be of little or no value to aTiouse desir ing to enlarge its audience among in vestors. A strong list of investors' names is a more valuable asset than any outsider could believe. There are only a few such lists on the market, and the? could not be bought, or even seen, except by prospective purchasers of the high est integrity and reputation. They are kept in safety deposit vaults, and are jealously guarded. A new banking house on beginning business would have to procure a list to start with. In the course of a few years' business it would develop a list of its own. and have then an exclusive asset. The market for investors' names is somewhat limited. The merchandizing is chiefly in speculative names, and for such lists there is always an active mar ket. Lists of doubtful value are beins; constantly hawked through Wall street, and unless the buyer is wide awake ha is likely to buy a lot of "stale names which have been worked over and over and are unproductive. A fresh and un worked list of speculative names is something that does not need to be hawked. The vender does not have to go far with his goods if he offers the list in the right way. It does not necessarily detract fron; the value of a list of speculative names that the persons on it have been unfor tunate in their speculations. After the collapse of one of the most notcio'is swindles that was ever perpetrated in Wall street a shrewd dealer in names placed a few advertisements calling upon those who had been swindled to send him their names and addresses. The impression he conveyed was that steps would be taken to recover some of the money that had been lost. All that the advertiser wanted was the names. He got thousands of replies, from which he made up a list of names which he sold at once in Wall street for $5,000. Then he went to Chicago and sold the same list there for a like sum. He sold it once or twice more and net ted about $15,000 on the venture. The buyers of this list were under no illu sions concerning Its origin. The value of the list to them lay in the fact that it put them in touch with thousands of the most credulous persons in the coun try. Promoters of mining stock schemes and bucket shop operators are large buyers of new names. The failure of a big bucket shop invariably leaves in the hands of some employe a list or names on which he is able to realize a few thousand dollars very quickly. There have been some lists in circula tion among promoters so complete as to show opposite each name the various schemes in which the prospective cupe had already lost, money, the particular kind of speculation that had always ap pealed to him. the probable extent to which he could be interested in a new venture, otherwise his resources and other details bearing upon his cred ulity. Somebody owning one or two shares of stock is constantly trying to gain access to the transfer books of large corpora tions for the purpose of getting names. If the privilege were indiscriminately granted, the compiling of such lists would become a regular business with vedors of names. Large corporations feel that they owe it to their stockhold ers to protect them from the endless so licitation that would follow the placing of their names in the hands of Wall street promoters and swindlers. A list of the United States Steel corporation s stockholders would be a pretty prize for a dealer in names, and if the holder of two shares of United States Steel com mon could establish a legal right to copy the list from the transfer books he would gladly enough pay $75 for the necessary stock and clerical fees for the tran scription. In opposing those who would In this way possess themselves of valu able lists of names the corporations ex pose themselves to the suspicion that they are trying to hide something, whereas, in most cases, it is only because they distrust the motive behind the ap plication that they seek to withhold the privilege. Reason Enough. "I've just been reading that learnel Egyptologist's account of the funeral 0 Rameses," said Jokely. "It's a won der the whole place wasn't pinched." "Why?" asked Cokeley.

Consumption is generally classed as a hereditary disease, but consumption is not hereditary. A constitutional weakness is inherited which renders one liable to consump tion. Even people who have stron lungs may acquire consumption from a cold. Mrs. Addie Harding, 121 W. Brighton Ave., Syracuse, N. Y., writes : "I have been a user of Peruna for the last twelve years and can truthfully say that there is no better mcdicin-a on earth.

Haberlandt, after studying the sensitiveness of the tendrils aoid hairs on plants, has come to the con clusion that some plants are capable of experiencing regular sensations. The new method of producing gen eral anesthesia proposed by Schnei derlin, of Berlin, consists in giving three hypodermic injections two hours, one hour and half an hour be fore operation of scopolamine with some morpmne. unconsciousness continues some hours after the opera tion.

CENTER SHOTS. Liquid courage is apt to evaporate. People with high tempers when un duly excited are inclined to indulge in low language. The husband of a society leader gets a lot more sympathy than he knows anything about. The misanthrope who feels that ho hasn't a friend in the world might just as well be a book agent. The fellow who goes out of his way to put you on to a sure thing will gen erally bear watching. The great trouble with the artistic temperament is that it revolts at tni Idea of making a living.

I take Peruna occasion ally when I do not feel well and I also give it to my children. "Peruna is tho best medicine for coughs and colds. I have told many people how much Peruna has helped me."
