The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX Balloning has and always must fail under present blundering and over ambitious efforts. Man is more of an air animal than water one. To succeed in air sailing he needs only a simple, safe vessel, sailing calmly and comfortably in which his genius will devise improvements. Firstly, he must regard the car as a great but lighter ocean. His experience with the rivers and seas will give him some primitive suggestions. How to float safely is the problem. To sail his vessel on the water requires ballasting downward so that the water will be as a wall to support the vessel and prevent overturning, a most frequent accident, even today. To sail it in air he would need ample ballasting upward. Now conceive your vessel duly prepared, firmly anchored ready for freight, etc. At what elevation do you wish to mount? Weight of vessel and freight all known, you have but to load the hold with ballast enough to overcome this weight and send your vessel kiting upwards. Say a thousand sacks each pressing upward with a —— of 50 paunds, more or less. If more is needed, have inflated sails to the most. The motor will be the wind and your vessel will be navigated a few hundred feet above the ground with more ease than upon the water. The decks may be made to suit taste. A rod or rope underneath from stem to stern with a treading anchor will guide up or down. As there will be a slight tendency down it were best to keep the stem slightly raised. Parachutes can be hung in reach, or to avoid all possible danger, attached to the person. Material for making ballast can be kept on board, in case greater elevation is desired. This simple, cheap, common sense plan has got to be tried. Just think a little on this. How can it possibly fail it done exertils as described? A light keel and basket made cabin with solid floor to resist the powerful pressure upwards of the ballast sacks—set upon the keel—keel large enough to hold the ballast—masts, sails, rudder parachutes and traveling anchor—one could float all day over these great plains, say three hundred feet, more or less, and study how to improve the system. But upon, in or under those vast explosive bags or aeroplanes with their fool wings and puffing engines and rattling harness, a hundred miles per hour—No, I thank you. My plan will succeed. Try it. ANARCHY AND PRIZE FIGHTING IN THE AMERICAN HOUSE OF LORDS. Much disorder has prevailed in the American House of Lords, which is known as the U. S. Senate, over the final passage of the Philippine Tariff bill, during the red-hot debate on it. Last Saturday Ben Tillman, who is half man and half devil and who preaches anarchy, and advocates blood-shed and the shot-gun policy right in the United State Senate or House of Lords, and who is always applauded by his millionaire associates for doing so endeavored to punch Senator J. L. McLaurin, for branding him, Tillman, as a liar, but Senator McLaurin landed on old Ben Tillman's big nose and drew the first blood, then they clinched like game-cocks or prize-fighters, and in the last round they were parted by their associate lords, who buy their way into that body by debauching the State Legislatures. While those disordely, or riotous scones were being enacted, anarchy reigned supreme; much to our surprise for we have always been taught that all those belonging to the superior race are able to govern themselves. The Republican lords or senators are responsible for Tillman's assault on Senator McLaurin for only a few months ago Tillman the rile-mouthed thing, or creature c compared McLaurin, to a "Free nigger with a yellow dog," and for doing so the Republican senators clapped their hands and patted him on the back, and they have not sufficient manhood left to throw Ben Tillman out of the American House of Lords, for they need him in their business. Tuesday evening, March 4, the Associated So. S. Clubs of the Scandinavian Democracy of Cook county, will give its first annual entertainment and ball at Walhalla hall, 37th street and Wentworth avenue. Emil Anderson is the main leader of this ball, which assures its success. ROW IN THE SOUTH END SUNDAY CLUB. One of the most disgraceful scenes ever witnessed in any political meeting in Chicago, or in any other city, was enacted in St. Mark's Church, 47th and State streets, during the meeting of the South End Sundry Club last Sunday afternoon. It appears that Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett was invited to speak before the club on "The Alton School Case," but Rev. J. C. Peters, S. B. Emmick and several others who are always bent upon running or controlling the club, made up their minds that Mrs. Barnett should not speak until after a report was read in favor of expelling S. A. T. Watkins, from the club for assisting Billy Piper to open up his saloon on 47th street between Armour avenue and Dearborn street. Peters, Emmick and Co., however, in their fight against Watkins, failed to mention the fact that Rev. J. W. Robinson ought also to have been severely sensured for failing to present the petitions to Mayor Harrison, protesting against Billy Piper's saloon being located on 47th street, but as heretofore stated, this fact was ignored by Peters, Emmick and Co. These two ring-leaders of the row lost all respect for themselves and the large number of women who were attending the club. Emmick became so hot during the row that they had to lead him in the back room of the church and dash cold water on him. In the meantime the greatest excitement prevailed in the church. Women screamed and several came near fainting while they were scrambling to get out of the church, and the meeting broke up without Mrs. Barnett being permitted to speak. The whole affair plainly shows that many of those who belong to the South End Sunday Club are not fully civilized. WM. H. WEBER. Mr. Broad Ax:—I notice in your democratic columns a picture of Secy. Weber of the Board of Assessors. Let me say to you in the sincerest manner, you couldd't have given space in your paper to a picture of a man who has honesty, loyalty and integrity written deeply upon every feature. Billy Weber is one of those men we would truthfully characterize as "all wool and a yard wide," a heart as big as a mountain, and as a friend he is with to the ditch. His manner is rather frank and abrupt but that is simply the nature of the beast, he means absolutely nothing impolite. As a capable efficient officer he is one of the ablest in Cook county. In fact Wm. H. Weber is one of the best posted officials in regard to valuations and tax matters in Cook county. If the Democratic party has within its ranks any "trimmers" they would surely make no mistake in voting for Wm. H. Weber next fall for Member Board of Assess- Last Thursday night A. H. Roberts' who was for a long time a third-rate barber, and who holds down a tenth-rate job in the County Treasurer's office, and his Pal, Rev. A. J. Carey, attempted to celebrate the birthday of Frederick Douglass at the Sherman House, but the affair was local in its nature while Frederick Douglass was a national character, and the few cheap white Republican politicians who attended it did not know or care as much about the memory of Frederick Douglass as the devil does about holy water. Kentucky Wheeler, though a Southerner, did not set Congress into a social quiver over the race question, but he got there with both feet over the disposition of the American people to play the flunkey act when Prince Henry arrives in the United States. What the old mossback said was full of truth and good sense and we hope that more of it will be said before his Royal Sanerkrauet puts in his appearance. The Republican, Seattle, Wash. Unless a man is cranky when he is sick, it indicates that he is afraid of his wife. By Charles W. Chestnut. So far something like one dozen books and pamphlets have been published per FREDERIC Whose matchless oratory or eloquence during the agitation of the slavery terment of all humanity are still appre taining to the rise of Frederick Douglass from the lowest depths of slavery to the highest prominence in all the affairs of this great nation, and while all of these books or pamphlets have been very instructive as to the doings of Frederick Douglass, none of them can surpass the latest Life of Frederick Douglass, by Charles W. Chesnutt, who is the foremost Afro-American writer of this country. This new book on the "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass," and the new "Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson," by Thomas E. Watson, are published by the great publishing house of Small, Maynard & Co., 9 Beacon St., Boston, Mass., and both of these latest contributions to literature should find their way into the homes of all the admirers of those two great historical characters — Frederick Douglass and Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Chesnutt very vividly and facinatingly traces or portrays the stormy career of Frederick Douglass from the slave pen to the lecture platform. the editor's chair, and on up to United States Marshal and Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The biographical sketch of the life of Frederick Douglass as set forth by Mr. Chestutt, is as follows: Frederick Douglass was born at Tuckahoe, near Easton, Talbot county, Md., in 1817. In 1825 he was sent to Baltimore to live with a relative of his master. March, 1833, he was taken to St. Michael's, Md., to live again with his master. January, 1834, he was sent to live with Edward Covey, a slave-breaker, with whom he spent the year. 1835-36 he was hired to William Freeland. Made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from slavery, was sent to Baltimore to learn the ship-calker's trade. 1838, hired his own time and worked at his trade. September 3, 1838, escaped from slavery and went to New York City. Where he married Miss Anna Murray. From there he went to New Bedford, Mass., and assumed the name of "Douglass." In 1841 he attended an anti-slavery convention at New Bedford and addressed the meeting. Was employed as agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. In 1842, took part in the Rhode Island campaign against the Dorr constitution. Lectured on slavery. Moved to Lynn, Mass., 1843.

Assisted the escape of fugitive slaves. 1852, supported the Free Soil Party and was elected delegate to the Free Soil convention at Pittsburg, Pa. Delivered speeches along with John P. Hale, the Jeffersonian Democrat who was the nominee of the Free Soil party for president of the United States in 1852, and who was appointed as Minister to Russia, by Abraham Lincoln. 1856, supported Fremont and Dayton for president and vice-president of the United States, established Douglass' monthly, entertained John Brown at his home in Rochester, visited England for the second time in 1859, lectured and spoke in England and Scotland for six months and arrived in the United States in time to assist in the election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. 1863, assisted in recruiting Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts colored regiments; invited to visit President Lincoln; 1806, was active in procuring the franchise for the freedmen; elected delegate from Rochester to the National Loyalists' Convention at Philadelphia. 1869, moved to Washington. D. C., and established the New National Era; 1870, appointed secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission by President Grant; 1877, chosen Marshal of the District of Columbia by President Hayes; 1877 visited his old home in Maryland and met his old master; 1878, bust of Douglass placed in Sibley Hall of Rochester University; spoke against the proposed Negro exodus from the South; 1881, appointed recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia; August 4, 1882 death of Mrs. Frederick Douglass, 1884, Frederick Douglass married Miss Helen Pitts; May, 1886 lectured on John Brown at Music Hall, Boston; September, attended a dinner given in his honor by the Wendell Phillips Club of Boston; 1886,87, visited Great Britain, France, Italy, Greece and Egypt; 1889 appointed United States Minister Resident and Consul-General to the Republic of Haiti and Charge d Affairs to Santo Domingo; 1890, resigned the office of Minister to Haiti; 1893, acted as commissioner for Haiti at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. 1805, Feb. 20, death of Frederick Douglass at his residence on Anacostia Heights, Washington, D. C., and his remains were transported to his old home at Rochester, N. Y., for interment where a substantial monument has been erected to his memory. March 1, 1888, Mrs. Taylor and ourself had the pleasure of attending the 75th birthday anniversary of Frederick Douglass, at the Metropolitan Church, Washington, D. C., and for one hour the writer had the honor of sitting by his side, and Mr. Douglass related to us some of the trials and hardships he en- ```markdown ``` dured while lecturing throughout the North and West, and said that "Away back in the 50's he visited Peoria, Ill., for the purpose of delivering an anti-slavery oration," but there was not one hotel or lodging house in that town which would sell him anything to eat or a bed to sleep in for love or money. Robert G. Ingersoll, the infidel whose father was a Presbyterian minister, was the only man in Peoria who had the courage to frown upon the Christians and he entertained Mr. Douglass at his home, and from that time to the death of Frederick Douglass he and Col. Ingersoll were fast friends. He visited St. Paul Minn., about the same time and he was confronted with the same conditions there which he met with at Peoria, and Patrick Kelly, who was for many years head of the Democratic party in the North-west, and member of the Democratic National committee, entertained Mr. Douglass at his home. The last time we met Mr. Douglass was during the World's Fair, and as soon as he laid eyes on us he extended his hand and called us by name for he prided himself on being able to remember the names of all those with whom he had come in contact. For many years the Free Thinkers or the Infidels claimed Mr. Douglass as one of their number, for he did not take much stock in the religion of the cross. He was the first or the only Afro-American to be honored by President Grover Cleveland or by any other president, with an invitation to attend a diplomatic dinner and reception at the White House. He never used strong liquor, nor tobacco. His language was always pure and clean as a snow-white lily. He held all decent women in the highest esteem, and in these respects it would be well if all men and many women would follow in the footsteps of Frederick Douglass.

This Is What a Couple of Eastern Farmers Learned When on a Recent Trip to Canada—Splendid Words About Saskatoon, Rosthorn and Hague District Where They Will Locate. Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Crumper of Manchester, Washtenaw County, Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently—some seven years ago—from Ontario with $24 in his pocket. He has certainly prospered, as he now has over seventy head of cattle, has a good loghouse framed over; also a good barn, and in all respects looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spending some days in Calgary and Edmonton they returned to Regina, Assinibola, and looked around the country north to Lumsden and Balgonie, where the crops appeared very promising and heavy; continuing up the Regina and Long Lake road they came to Saskatoon on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan River. Of this district they say: "The country here pleased us better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in a northwesterly direction through the Smith settlement. This is a wonderful district; the growth was splendid; all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older settlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous; in fact, we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, generally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of drawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly advise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing.

A daughter of old Geronimo, the most bloodthirsty and relentless foe that has been raised up in the path of the all-conquering white man in the settlement of the West, is to marry one of the palefaces against whom her father battled so long. She won the love and lifelong devotion of her future husband by the manner in which she fearlessly offered her own life in order to save him. Lola, the "Red Rose, of the Forest," as her people call her, will marry Houston A. Ward, one of the wealthiest and most accomplished young men in southern Texas. And this happy culmination grows out of a singularly beautiful romance, one scene of which is blood-curdling and exciting enough to form the nucleus of a highly successful melodrama. It was while flying for life from a prairie fire and a herd of stampeded steers that the love of the young couple was firt revealed, and in such dangerous surroundings was their troth plighted. Houston A. Ward, who is certainly eager to become the son-in-law of one of the most notorious Indian chiefs that ever shed blood on the borders of Arizona, is the son of old Shanghai Ward, a famous mustang king of the Rio Grande country. The old man died a few years ago, leaving his only son a splendid fortune in lands, mustangs and cattle. Young Ward's boyhood was divided between Texas and Illinois. He usually spent the summers on his father's youth and the winters in the north where he attended school. As a result of this simple career he possesses a fine education and he is rather proud of certain trophies won on the playgrounds and a diploma won in the classrooms of the college at Champaign, Ill. Last summer the grass was scarce in the Rio Grande calley and Houston Ward shipped some 400 or 500 head of cattle to the Indian territory. Finding abundant pasture lands, the young man remained for some time in the vicinity of Fort Sill, where he made the acquaintance of the pretty Indian girl who will soon become his wife. The gallant Texan frequently sought the company of the dusky belle of the border, often dancing and riding with her, but he now says that he did not know that he loved her until one evening he found her fingers in his hair, and upon opening his eyes, in flame and smoke, he felt the earth trembling beneath his feet, while his ears were filled with the noise of a cyclone. Houston Ward had been riding about over the prairie looking at his cattle, and becoming tired, he dismounted and lay down on the grass in the shade of a tree, leaving his pony to graze at will. He soon fell asleep and his pony wandered off to mingle with a large herd of cattle and a big drove of horses that were not far away. The grass was very tall and most of it was dead and dry. Either some careless cowboy had dropped a match or a spark from a hunter's gun set the prairie on fire. A strong breeze was blowing from the north and, as usual in such cases, it looked as if the flames increased the commotion in the air until a windstorm was driving the rapidly spreading fire before it. The great herd of Texas steers stampeded the instant they scented danger and started south, bellowing with terror. The horses caught the contagion and mingled with the flying steers, snorting as if a pack of panthers were at their heels. There were about 500 full-grown Texas steers in the herd and seventy-or eighty head of horses. This moving mass of frightened animals started straight toward the tree under which the sleeping Texan was lying, unconscious of danger. Old Geronimo's daughter, mounted on a magnificent horse, was riding across the prairie when the fire broke out, and she saw the animals stampede. No one knew why she happened to be there or how she knew that the handsome young Texan was lying under the lone tree asleep. She saw the maddened herd, driven Henry Lola, "Red Rose of the Forest," by a sea of flame, rushing furiously onward toward the place where young Ward was lying, and, knowing that his horse had strayed away and that no earthly power could turn the living wave of terror aside, she struck her horse with her whip and rode straight toward the rapidly approaching herd. When she reached the tree the front rank of the mad steers was not twenty steps away. The flames were leaping in the air over the backs of the animals in the rear and the wind was blowing a cloud of smoke and dust above them. Horns were cracking and horses were neighing. Ward was just beginning to move when the Indian girl bent over the side of her quivering horse and seized his hair. "Up quick!" she shrieked. "The world is on fire!" He sprang to his feet and, compre- hending the situation at a glance, he first thought of ascending the tree, but doubting whether he could perform the feat, he yielded to the girl's hand and quickly sprang upon the horse behind her. As the noble animal turned, the horns of the steers crashed against the tree and several of the big brutes fell headlong, rolling over the very spot where the rescued man had been lying. Their carcasses were trampled to jelly by the sharp hoofs of the flying herd. The sure-footed horse bore the Indian girl and the Texan away at the top of his speed, but more than 500 head of furious beasts were close to his heels, and it was four miles to a place of safety. "Ride straight to the river," shouted Ward, as soon as he was able to command his voice. "I know; I know," replied the girl. "Maybe we can turn out of the way pretty soon." she added. The earth seemed to tremble as if convulsed by an earthquake and the air was filled with a roar more appalling than the noise of a cyclone. Ward turned his head and he was surprised to see the red eyes of the mad brutes M. Houston A. Ward. and their white horns almost at the horse's tail. Striking the foaming flank of the horse with his hat he shouted: "On, on, Lola, or we are lost!" She turned her head and looked into his eyes. "Let me slip off," she whispered. "The horse could save you; I am too many." The Texan comprehended her meaning and in that moment of peril he realized that the Indian girl loved him. Fearing that she might execute her suggestion and sacrifice herself to save him, he instantly grasped her in his arms, and it was in that moment of peril that their troth was plighted. The horse came upon smooth ground, and in a short time he began to get farther away from the herd. "Right there," says the Texan, "I made up my mind to love that little Indian girl forever and I resolved that if we escaped the danger that pursued us I would do everything in my power during life to make her happy." The noble horse continued to increase the distance between his heels and the sharp horns of his pursuers until he again encountered rough ground. Ward at this moment for the first time thought of his pistol, and hurriedly drawing the weapon he poured a stream of lead into the faces of the cattle. Ward turned his head, and with a shout of exhultation he threw his hat into the faces of the leaders of the stampeded herd as the horse plunged into water that the flames could not cross. The Texan knew that the hot steers would stop to cool their parched tongues, and when the horse had crossed the river he pressed a kiss on the Indian girl's cheek and whispered to her: "You have saved my life, and it belongs to you." And he will keep his word. Think of it, a thimble which cost $65,000 in American money! And think of a husband who presents his wife with such a gift! It belongs to the queen of Siam. Thimbles were not in use in Siam until a comparatively recent date. The king, seeing that English and American women visiting his court used thimbles, had one made for his wife. The thimble is of gold, enriched with precious stones. It is shaped like a partially opened lotus flower, each petal bearing the interlaced initials of the sovereign and his wife in amethysts, rubles, emeralds and topazes. Around the rim of the thimble can be read the date of the marriage of the royal pair according to the Siamese and European calendars, each number and each letter being of alternate diamonds and pearls. The state in which there is the least number of government pensioners is Nevada, in which they number only 275.

SHEIK OF KOWEYT'S FRIENDS. Three Great Nations Interested in His Welfare. The sheik of Koweyt is too shrewd not to understand the sudden interest in the welfare of his ragged little clan displayed by three great nations. Russia, with the Philadelphia-built Variag in his harbor, bids him reflect that "Codlin's his friend, not Short." Great Britain rises with a cruiser and a gunboat to remark, "I'm your old original chum, you know;" while Turkey, with Germany peeping over her shoulder, tearfully recalls to the sheik his nominal vassalship. Koweyt, at the head of the Persian gulf, is the terminus of the proposed German railroad which the sultan of Turkey has authorized. This line is to run from the Bosphorous opposite Constantinople, through Ismid, Eskischer, Afunkara-Hissar, Konla, Eskischer, Eregli, Adana, Tell-Hebesch Mosul and Bagdad, to Koweyt, with branches to Aleppo and Chanekin. The route is very crooked, taps many rich trading points and is more than 1,500 miles long. Meanwhile Russia plans a line of 500 miles from the north to the same point across the wastes of Central Persia; Britain is concerned about the approaches of India, and France for trade reasons is urging on Russia. The shiek occupies the extreme eastern tip of Turkey in Asia—according to the maps. But as he has refused to let the sultan's special mission land in his harbor, it is evident that he does not purpose to let a little thing like royalty stand in the way of the shrewdest bargain he can make for his influence.—New York World. COULD NOT SEE THE JOKE. Occlusion in Which the Obtuseness of the Briton Was Shown. An Englishman who had been a resident of this country long enough, according to the New York Times, to absorb the American idea of humor, was in London last summer on a visit and happening to have business with a man on an upper floor of a tall building took the "lift" to reach his office. The elevator was one of those excessively deliberate British affairs and its snaillike progress annoyed the Americanized Briton. The only other occupant of the car was a middle-aged Englishman with a manner of peculiarly English seriousness. The man from America ventured to address him: "I think I could make a great improvement in this lift," he said. The Englishman looked seriously interested. "How?" he asked. "Why," the other man went on, "I'd make it go faster by a simple little arrangement. I'd stop the lift altogether and move the building up and down." The Englishman looked slightly The Englishman looked slightly more interested. "How?" he asked. The American fainted. Have Good and Bad Seasons "One would naturally think that our business at this time of year would be at its best, but it isn't," said a tobaccoist yesterday. "Our cigar trade always falls off in bad weather, especially when the bad weather is accompanied by high winds. Even habitual smokers don't enjoy a cigar in the open air when the wind is blowing. Just take note of the number of men you see smoking on the street some calm, clear day, and then note the difference a day like this. You will see that it has quite an effect upon our business. Our receipts are much higher in summer than in winter, just because of this. It's all well enough to picture a man smoking before a cosy fireside, but there are lots of men who have cranky wives, and who seldom smoke in the house. During the summer they can do their smoking out of doors with a full measure of enjoyment. Yes; summer is the best time for us." Broke Ironclad Rule. It was no one's business, of course, but his own, but President Roosevelt does ride a horse with a docked tail when he feels like it. The last day Gen. Wood was in Washington he rode with the President out Massachusetts avenue extended away beyond the huge culvert over Rock creek. The President strode a dock-tailed horse that time for sure. Ten rods behind rode an orderly, and about the same distance farther back rode two plain clothes policemen on bicycles. How the latter negotiated the rough and rutty roads farther out is of interest to them alone, but the President is a hard man to follow. The rougner the road the more certain he is to take it. But it was a dock-tailed horse, a high-sided, long-stepping thoroughbred which can do 20 miles an hour if called on. It is now more than intimated that all the recent stories of heavy gambling at Monte Carlo by Schwab, the steel magnate, were set afloat for advertising purposes by officials of the famous resort. They have been known to play such tricks in the past, and as Monte Carlo is going out of favor owing to the rapacity of hotelkeepers it is easy to imagine that Mr. Schwab's visit was used for the purpose indicated. Parisians Eat Many Snails During the last year Paris consumed 800 tons of snails. The animals are bred in Burgundy and Savoy, where they are kept in inclosures formed of arred palings, which they can no climb over, and are fed upon vine leaves. It is said that they thus acquire the delicate flavor of a superior Burgundy wine; but the flavor is, in practice, generally overwhelmed by an extensive mixture of chopped garlic.

Mailed to all Sufferers from Disorders of the Kidneys and Bladder, Bright's Disease, Rheumatism, Gravel, Pain in the Back, Dropsy, etc. The following letter from Hon. I. A. Hopkins, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, Ellsworth, Kan., tells how Alkavis cured after he made up his mind that he had but a short time to live. Gentlemen. I believe and know that I owe my life to Alkavias. I had been troubled with Kidneys and Bladder Trouble for years. My limbs were swollen with Rheumatism so that I could hardly walk. I had to get up every hour of the night to urinate. I passed great quantities of blood on account of hemorrhage of the Kidneys and Bladder. Attried and had been trying everything in the MRS. MARY FOX, Seymour, Iowa. shape of Medicine for Kidney Trouble that I could think of or that the Doctors recommended, but nothing helped me. I made up my mind that I had only a short time to live. I sent to you for three bottles of Alkavis; began to take it, and before I had taken it one week began to get better. My Kidney Trouble and Rheumatism were soon gone and I am in good health now. I have recommended Alkavis to a great many people and all have been benefited by its use. Gratefully yours, I. A. HOPKINS." Mrs. Ida A. Francis, of Mooresville, Ind., writes: "She had been bothered with Kidney and Bladder Trouble ever since she was six years old; did not get any rest day or night, and had to be up fifteen times a night at times. Was also troubled with Rheumatism, Female Complaint and Irregular Mense, also symptoms of Dropsy. Tried many physicians but received little benefit. Two years ago took Alkavis and was completely cured and states she will answer any letter that comes to hand concerning the wonderful medicine." Mrs. Mary Fox, Seymour, Iowa; Miss Viola Dearing, Petersburg, Ind.; Mrs. Jas Young, Kent, Ohio; and many other ladies join in testifying to the wonderful curative powers of Alkavis in various forms of Kidney and allied diseases, and in other disorders peculiar to womanhood.

Senator Deboe of Kentucky tells an interesting story concerning an enter- Prising editor who ran a paper down in Hardin county, of that state. “The State Fair association,” said the sehator, “offered @ prize of $10 in gold for each of the best samples of corn, oats and tobacco. This oner gave the editor an idea. He advertised that he would give a year’s subscription— worth $2—for the best samples of corn, oats and tobacco that were brought to him within a certain time. The coun- try people jumped at the opportunity to get & year’s reading matter on such ensy terms. Every farmer in Hardin county brought his contribution, and when all the samples had been depos- ited the wise editor had a barnful of stuff. On a certain day the corn, oats and tobacoo were spread upon tables which ran along three sides of the courthoube square, and after a very prolonged examination the prize was duly awarded. Then the editor pitked out the finest ears of corn, the heaviest heads of oats and the best twists of tobacco, and sent these selections to the state fair. He got the $30 in gold, and besides that he sold enough stuff to the hotel proprietor to pay his board for six months.” “ Another Man Altogether.

A witty girl is often a drug in the matrimonial market. Some hair is prematurely gray and some is prematurely dyed. Few women flirt after they get married—and few men flirt before. The less a woman knows about anything the more positive she is. Lend a man a dime and the next time he will strike you for a dollar. excuse for giving them grudgingly. No true woman will admit that she married the first man who proposed to her. In after years a man rejoices because of the failure of his youthful ambitions. He is certainly a mean man who will sue for divorce on the grounds of non-support. Any self-made man is apt to feel sorry for the inferior product of the Almighty. During his sojourn here on earth a man must put up with a lot—and put up for a lot more. A girl frequently lets a good chance go by while waiting for a better one—but it's different with a widow. When a woman is frightened she has palpitation of the heart; when a man is scared he has palpitation of the knees. Speaking of ships, a receivership belongs to the submarine class because of its relation to something that has gone under. Joe Arthur, the playwright, takes water. Admiral Dewey's tipple is sherry and bitters. John Jacob Astor prefers milk punches. Gen. Miles is supposed to drink a beauty elixir. John L. Sullivan drinks champagne for show; for business, whisky. A. B. Hepburn drinks champagne for his cocktail, and with oysters, fish, roasts and everything down to coffee. Herman Ridder, the president, secretary, treasurer and executive committee of the Ridderbund, having half a million voters, likes Rhine wine at $17 a bottle. Col. S. V. R. Cruger used to drink claret one glass at a swallow. He said it was a gentleman's drink. He sipped champagne so as not to have to take more than a tablespoonful of it at a dinner. President Roosevelt is temperate in everything except civil service reform, but his cousin, Roosevelt Schuyler, drank champagne for breakfast, luncheon and dinner till the gout made him give it up. He smokes from the time he gets up until he goes to sleep. When he goes to bed he has a cigar in his mouth. He smokes $5 worth of cigars a day. The enormity of our salmon output this year has played havoc with the British fisheries, for in Canada the law does not permit the use of traps. In Washington and Oregon traps are used, so that the American fisheries are able to furnish salmon to the Canadian canneries for 2 to 3 cents a fish, where the canneries used to pay the Canadians from 10 to 15 cents. He manifests scorn of royalty—and joins the crowd that follows a visiting nobleman. He sneers at faith cure—and tries all the hair tonics that are recommended to him. He can explain the wireless telegraph system to his wife—and his letters come back to him for better directions. He derides woman for her frequent changes of fashion—and gives his overcoat away because it is not full enough in the back. He pays five dollars to see two cheap prize-fighters maul each other—and whips his son for fighting with another boy at school. He explains just how to settle the difference between England and the Transvaal—and goes to law with his neighbor over a line fence. He laughs at the green goods jokes in the papers—and forgets about the time he sent money to five-hundred-and-twenty-per-cent Miller. WORDS OF THE WISE. His own character is the arbiter of everyone's fortune.—Publius Syrus. Young men think old men fools, and old men know young men to be so.—Metcalf. Never be afraid of what is good; the good is always the road to what is true.—Hameleton. Conceit is the most incurable disease that is known to the human soul.—H. W. Beecher. To keep good company, especially at our first setting out, is the way to receive good impressions.—Lord Chesterfield. He only confers favors generously who appears, when they are once conferred, to remember them no more.—Johnson. Insincerity alienates love and rots away authority.—Bulwer. Conscientiousness is the underlying granite of life.—Sir Walter Raleigh. When a man is dead to the sense of right, he is lost forever.—James McCrie. When love of praise takes the place of pralseworthiness, the defect is fatal.—S. Baring-Gould. The value of conscientiousness is principally seen in the benefits of civilization.—Charles Kingsley. London, Feb. 28.—In Liverpool shipping circles it is now stated that, owing to the disagreement of the owners of the great transatlantic steamship services, negotiations regarding uniform rates and fares have fallen through. Assassination Insurance. New York, Feb. 28.—Insurance against assassination is one of the new ideas Prince Henry has brought to American shores. He carries a policy of $800,000 against assassination, and is said to be the only man in the world so insured. For Sale by THE JONES & ADAMS CO.
