The first warm day of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy the exhilarating air and sunshine children that have been housed up all winter are brought out and you wonder where they all came from.

Cousins Correspondents take Notice. Notice.—To our correspondents and subscribers in general, for the last 8 or 10 months we have been crowded for space for our news, owing to numerous correspondents from the different towns of the middle west and the many new towns that are clamoring to have space in our paper, also the many worthy papers, essays and poems often sent for publication and with our limited space each week, that we cannot accommodate them all, in fact we have often left out the editorials and race echoes to accommodate our outside news gathers; but many of our readers like to have editorials to read each week, therefore we have decided that we will discontinue our regular correspondents where we have less than ten actual subscribers; news can be sent from those points occasionally. We also ask our correspondents to condense each article and be brief with 'your letter. ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Rev. O. A. Johnson. The Central Missouri Annual Conference, of which Rev. O. A. Johnson is a member, will meet in Joplin, Mo., March 19. The reverend has pastored the church here four years and nine months, during which time he has erected a neat two story brick church; furnace heat and gas lights. The membership has increased from 12 to 78. Rev. Johnson will leave on the 18th for Joplin, and as the members and friends have asked Rev. A. H. Higgins, D. D., the Presiding Elder, to be sure and reverend the reverend, the chances are that their wishes will be granted. Rev. Johnson is a sociable and courteous gentleman to meet and is quite a secret society man. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is Both Acceptable and Effective. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way in injurious has made it a favorite with mothers.

It is especially successful in cases of crop Children like it and my customers who have used it will no: take any other.' For sale by all druggists. Tetter, Salt Rheum and Iczema A remedy, Chamberlain's salve. One application is the treating and burning sensation. EDITORALS. Mayor Dunne Renominated. The Democratic convention of Chicago. Ill., renominated for for Mayor Dunn again. While we do not agree with his political affiliation, yet we admire Mayor Dunne and the manly and statesman course he has taken on many great questions. We are frank and liberal enough to say and commend the course he took in refusing to preside at the Tillman meeting. Then we believe in his method of municipal government, also agree with him in controlling street cars and city traction Go. Then we commend his attitude of appointing several good colored citizens in positions. Indeed he is a broad level headed Mayor. Eliot's Narrow Position. Last week we read with great surprise the address of President Eliot of Harvard University, before the students of Berea College in Kentucky, which has been an institution of co-education of both races until the state laws prohibited it. Then professor Eliot going down there and saying that co-education was the thing and colored students should not be allowed to attend with white students, and said the only reason Harvard did not debar them was there so very few there. We do not agree with this distinguished scholar, for he gave no sound reason for seperation. Certainly education broadens a man and makes him free. The two races must live, work, learn, trade and build up human character together here; why not educate together. We speak the same tongue, live under the same flag and pay tribute to the same government. Then let us all join hands together for the good of all the American children. We are much surprised at the president of so great an institution to have become so narrow or talking to suit the narrow whims of the prejudiced South. MISSOURI Each recurring session of the Missouri legislature some little prejudiced would-be legislator will introduce a bill to compel the railroads to operate separate cars for the races. True the bills have always been defeated by the good, honest and right thinking men, regardless of party. So we hope the present bill that is now pending will be defeated, although this time the bill has already passed the senate. While we deplore the uncouth action and bad conduct of a few of our people on those cars, but don't condemn the many for the way a few bad ones may act; for there are many bad white people and you do not condemn the white race for what their bad ones does. Therefore we ask you to judge us by our merits. The good honest citizen must join hand in hand to route out sin, ignorance and rowdyism in all classes and THE GLANSMAN. This unreasonable, fire eating Negro hating play was presented at one of our local opera houses last Wednesday. The colored people, almost as a whole, protested against it being put on; while their protest was right, just and even felt, they did succeed in getting a resolution through the city council whereby it will be unlawful for it or similar plays to be given here. This resolution was passed last Monday through the special effort of R. N. Hyde, S. Joe Brown, J. C. Williams and other race men. Mr. Brown framed the resolution which is to the credit of our race. After the play was given the Mayor, Geo. W. Mattern, who attended, gave an interview in the evening paper that there was nothing bad about it. We must say that our Mayor is dull of comprehension or densely prejudiced, (as some of his past actions have proven the latter), or else he is framing his way to veto the resolution which prohibits the play in our city; but the colored people know this office holder so well, need not be surprised at anything he may say or do. CLINTON BRIEFS Charlie is dead, was the news that went over the city to the friends of Charles Williams who has been ill with pneumonia for the past two months, on last Friday afternoon, the end coming at the noon hour of that day, his death took place less than a week after the passing away of his father Jas.

Thompson have moved to their new home on West Eight Avenue which they have recently purchased. A few friends of Mrs. Jesse Mitchell went to Fulton Friday tendering her a surprise in honor of her 20th wedding anniversary, she was the recipient of some beautiful presents appropriate to the location.

The decoration were of purple and white. The refreshments were delicious, tiny baskets of violets were presented to each guest as souvenirs. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Mrs. M. C. Terrell presented "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," to a large and appreciative audience in the Institute auditorium on the evening of February 23nd. As this cultured, refined and brilliant woman stood before her audience, and later, as in the circle of her friends, the president and faculty, the conversation rapidly turned upon the great problems of the age and the questions of the home, one could not feel otherwise than proud and happy over the logical chain of national events occurring in the month of February that indisolubly connect and bind the names, life and character of George Washington, Father of his country, Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of a race, Frederic Douglass, leader of the American Negro, and Mary Church Terrell, flower of Afro-American Womanhood. Among the many, many excellent points in the lecture, one, that teacher impressed of history, naturally, forly impressed the writer, was the stress which the speaker placed upon the value of the study of history. honorable and valuable part of the Negro has played in the making of this country, his bravery as a soldier, his loyalty in war and in peace, are studious avoided by the American historian. We wish in this article to emphasize the before mentioned point, the value of the study of history, referred to as "a people without a history," this in itself is quite sufficient to lessen the self respect of a people unschooled in taking those broad views of men and affairs that some only with wide reading along historical lines. Extensive study of ancient civilization will raise the Negro's respect for himself and for his race, as he learns of the enslaved condition, enforced degradation and bitter persecution of other races, the Anglo Saxon included. Knowledge of the slow and painful process by which step by step, slowing toiling upward through the centuries, these races have thrown off the yoke of bondage and have developed into the foremost nations of the world, will help us as a people toward that constructive patience, so necessary in the meeting of a race or an individual. We advisedly used the expression constructive patience, for mere patience wottle kittlite, if unaccompanied by initiative power of the individual, or race to do things! Reading clubs, literary societies and personal effort will do much good along the line indicated by urging the study of Universal History: Philosophy of History, and kindred studies; and will be richly rewarded for labor expended in the study of the Egyptians, Ethiopians, and other Ancient inhabitants of Africa, as well as in that of the long exploited Greeks and Romans, and when, as in the case of the late Frederick Douglass, and possibly a few others of our race, we are financially, strong enough to send our own scholars, men and women of education, to drive in the ruins of the Nile Valley and other portions of Africa, there may be some starting revelations. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln Institute is the after dinner talk, or better, conversations, of President Allen and the students, during which time current topics, as brought forth in the daily papers, standard magazines, and high class books, come up for discussion and comment. Longfellow Day was thus appropriately observed and has been followed by afternoons with Holmes, Lowell, Tennyson and Emerson, each one of which was veritably "a feast of reason and flow of the soul," long to be remembered by all present.

Washington—With a new record for large appropriations and far-reaching legislation, the fifty-ninth congress was brought to a close shortly after noon Monday. The last few hours were calm, in fact tame, by comparison with what had been expected. Long before noon Senator Gallinger's flight for the passage of the ship subsidy bill had been abandoned and the filibuster against it conducted by Senator Carmack being no longer necessary, he surrendered the boat much to the disappointment of the galleries. Extreme fatigue, due to continued night sessions in the house during the last week, had a dampening effect upon many congressmen and the usual excessive "last day enthusiasm" was confined to less than half the membership. Despite these conditions the audiences in both houses were as large as they ever have been. Thousands thronged the corridors unable to secure admission to either branch. President Busy Signing Bill of Rights featuring incidents incident to the close of the congress was the visit of President Roosevelt with, his cabin, White House staff and a number of guests, occupied the president's room in the senate wing. Seated at a big table in the center of the room, he signed bills as they were enrolled and presented to the president. Without exception the president expressed regret that these lawmakers were to leave the service of the country. Vice President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon received the thanks of the minority for the impartial manner in which they had presided over the deliberations. The most officers made speeches expressing gratitude at the words of appreciation. A feature of the house session was the presentation of a club silver service of 300 pieces to Gen. Grosvenor by his colleagues of the fifty-ninth congress. The close of the proceedings the visitors unrestrained applauded with cheers and handclapping and then followed the exchange of farewells by the members. President Holds Session Important. Notwithstanding that the president was "turned down" on several of his pet measures, he is still of the opinion that the national legislature of the national legislature ever held. He secured the passage of the railroad rate bill, the pure food bill, the railroad hours of service bill, the measure prohibiting campaign contributions by banks and corporations, the meat inspection bill, the law creating Oklahoma, and many other measures of value to the country at large. In the senate there were offered 8,600 bills, and in the house 26,000. Of these 415 became laws in the first session, and 310 in the session that ended to day.

But Third Robber Escapes With Four Thousand Dollars. Manchester—Three men blew up the Farmers' Savings bank of Masonville early Thursday morning, rifted the safe of $4,200 in currency and after a chase by a posee known as and citizens lasting all day, two of the trio were run down and captured near here late in the afternoon. They are in jail at Manchester and the third man, who has the bulk of the booty, is being closely pursued by the A. H. Sniff of Missoug Valley Wound Citizen. Missouri Valley.—A. H. Sniff, ed. for the Harrison County New shot and probably finally wounded Mort Bronridge, a well known can penter. The shooting was the cuclimation of an affair occurring at the dance in which Earl Fount, brother in law of Brundridge, was serious injured. Brundridge took exceptions to the account of the affair at the dance at hearing in Sniff's paper and account shortly before 3 o'clock the night operator, Nelson Atwater of Masonville, heard a terrific explosion that shook the depot and shattered a number of windows in the vicinity. He hastened to the door and as he put his head outside was met by a fuss-late of bullets from the direction of the three men running down the middle of the street. The town was soon awakened and a posse organized, pursuit of the men being undertaken at once. The entire bank building was wrecked by the force of the blast, and the bank vault was shattered. Nitroglycerine had done its work well. After the bandits fled they took an easterly direction and at the farm of John Williams stopped, broke open the barn and stole a horse and buggy. While they were securing the outfit they dropped a bundle of bills amounting to $600. A light snow which had fallen ailed the posse in following the trail of the men. A few miles from Manchester the team was abandoned and the trio started to run. Crossing the Maquoketa river, they fled up Union street to the east end of the town, but evidently thinking better of fleeing in that direction, retraced their steps and went north on the railroad. The pose which was now increased to about forty men came on in hot pursuit. Sheriff M. J. Hennessey and chief of the army, particularly of whom were heavily armed. Then men were tracked across the river, then out along the Illinois Central right of way. About 5 o'clock the bandits were run down to the farm of John Hennessey, near the ground out of town to the place. The large number on the place was surrounded and after a short search two men were taken into custody. A sack containing $60 was found in the hay mow where the men had been hiding. The men rose to talk. One is about 25 years old and the other near the age of 60 years. They are roughly dressed and give the appearance of desperate characters. Their clothing was torn and covered with mud, showers and blood. All efforts to make them confess to any crime proved unavailing, however. The third man, who is supposed to have money, has not been captured. A larger group are after him and it is thought he is in hiding near here. CITY MUST PAY DEBTS. Judge McPheson of Federal Court Makes Important Ruling. Des Moines.—Declaring that a city is bound to repay borrowed money the same as an individual, Judge Smith McPheson in federal court asked the city to must credit the Glucose Sugar Rearning company of that city with its taxes as repayment of $25,000 borrowed to construct a sewer. The court overruled demurriers of the city in this case, which has attracted the city, that it involves the rights of a city to repudiate a debt after contracting one. When people living below Marshall-town on the Iowa river threatened damage suits if the sewage from the glucose works was continued to empty the water, the city got together to dig a sewer. The company contributed $25,000 to the sewer on condition that its taxes be remitted until repaid. Two years later, the city refused to pay the taxes and the company for three years paid in $14,016.90 as taxes. It asked that these payments be credited to it on its loan, and this the city refused to do. The latter sought to reclaim the taxes, and that since a portion of the taxes go to the schools and part to the county the city could not legally make the necessary remission. The court holds, however, that the contract must stand intact. The city should not exempt the company from taxation it has the power to credit the taxes on the debt it owes the company. The court also maintains that the sewer must maintain its capacity and intimates that the city should not seek to evade its construction. PRIEST SCORES SOCIETY iowa Clergyman Violent on Race Suit side Dubuque.—In a red hot, slizzing address at St. Raphael's cathedral, Rev. Thomas Drumm, a Romana Catholic priest, scored modern society in most ways. Drumm is a member of the Apostolate, a sionary band. He declared that society tolerates and practically encourages social evils. Rev. Mr. Drumm discoured on race suicide smoke and broke out of the theme. He said that men and women avoiding the responsibility of parenthood are not maintaining homes but common houses. The priest ascribed a lack of real love to the marriage ceremony to a civil service, as the cause of the condition. VICTIM OF FALSE TALE. Drallinger Innocent of Alleged Bur lton Crime. Burlington--The developments in the case of Miss Pauline Tepe, who was found jrugged on Madison ave. after her face saturated with chloroform, young Drallinger, the former street car conductor whom the girl charged with the assault, were not in Burlington, but were in Drallinger, who was charged. Miss Tepe worked in a restaurant in the city, and the city tied around her face proved to be a napkin from that restaurant. The girl refuses to eat, and the napkin around her face with suicidal intent, and afterwards charged the young man with the crime. It is probable that Drallinger will be re-examined well to do land owner near. Ville la. SHOT BY EDITOR. A. H. Sniff of Missouri Valley Wounds Citizens Missouri Valley.—A. H. Sniff, editor of the Harrison County News, shot and probably totally wounded Mort Brindridge, a well-known pennant. He was the culprit of an affray occurring at a dance in which Earl Foult, brothers in law of Brindridge, was seriously injured. Brindridge took exceptions to the accession of the afray at the dance in Sniff's paper and accosted Sniff on the street. Brindridge, it is stated, did not enter Sniff's office, but waited on the streets for him to appear. Late in the day, observing Sniff as he was coming out of the store, Brindridge hailed him. Sniff did not reply or notice Brindridge's presence, and walk in the direction of his office. Brindridge called to Sniff several times, stating he wanted to talk to him, at the same time pulling a supervised arm him not to follow. After reaching the building containing his office Sniff started to mount the stairway. Brundridge, who was close at his heels, started to follow. Sniff, at the top of the stairway, had not yet come far, and a moment later pulled a revolver and fired. The shot entered Brundridge's neck, resulting in paralysis. Poutz, who was cut in the throat, severing his windpipe, and with one lung pumured, is said to be doing fairly well. It is said that Brundridge made threats that he would whip Sniff. Sniff gave him up to the officers immediately after the shooting. Missouri Valley—Editor, the Sniff quarreler, he had remained in retirement for a short time after he shot Mort Brundidge on the stairway in Sniff's office building, walking to the Northwestern depot and took a train for Logan, where he offered to surrender to the sheriff there. He was then been charged, tried against him. Suff remained in Logan until Wednesday afternoon, when he returned to Missouri Valley, there being a tacit understanding to the effect that when Suff is wanted by the authorities he is required to be present, being to await the result of Bründge's injury, which, it is believed, will result in his death. TWO FATALLY SCALLED: Bottom Drops Out of Big Rendering Tank at Agar Plant. Des Moines.—Two men are dead as the result of an accident in the Agar Packing company's lard room when the bottom dropped out of one of the walls of the building, and the floor in a mass of boiling grease. The victims of the accident are George Gregor, foreman of the lard room, residing at 518 South Twenth street) and Jim Blanket, assistant foreman of the hospital without gaining consciousness. Both men were standing at the foot of the tank when its scalding contents poured forth and in an instant they were picked up. When they were picked $n_1$ yellow workmen, who ran up at the agoselzies of the scalded men, the two were found to have been terribly injured and the remaining untouched. They were hurried to Mercy hospital and physicians were called in attendance. The two men suffered terrible agonies from the wounds and finally fainted from pain. SOULE CASE IS DISMISSED Judge Wright Discharges Man Indicted for Embezzlement. Webster City—Judge R. M. Wright of Fort Dodge dismissed the indictment charging F. O. Suele with embzzling $5,500 from the Home Savings bank of Iowa Falls. It was dismissed and theorney's motion, it being held that Suele already served eighteen months in the penitentiary for this same offense. The man is now working in a Chicago broker's office.

Stickney, a railroad man on the Milk River, a railroad worker but running into this city, saw that a gas explosion had occurred at his home; that his wife was fatally burned in his son's the hospital and his wife was taken to him for the first time, was a serious shock to Mr. Stickney, who was at once taken in control by friends that threw him time the results of the attack, as upon the father. Mr. Stickney ran into Mason City last night. He had gone to his hotel and to bed, but arose early, and while awaiting for breakfast picked up the newspaper, he saw the item relative to his wife. Will Be No "Oats Special." Ames—Announcement has been received from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company by the officials. The company said that the "oats snielled" would be on the lines of that company. The announcement comes from the general offices of the road and is final. It was sent on the second day after the posting of the letter in the legislature. The giving up of the special is traced to that fact. Bond Plan Turned Down Pella — After quite a good deal of excitement and after a number of moments of contemplation, she voted the proposition to issue $70,000 to establish a municipal light plant and to extend the water works system to be walled.

MEREDITY IS NOT ALL Physiclans New Believe Less in Trans- mission of Disease. Medical men are coming round to the view that it is the personal history that is of primary importance, or in other words, that a man's own manager of life, his record of health, and his circumstances should be more carefully considered than the illnesses that his ancestors died of. Dr. Rabagati, a medical examiner for insurance companies, who is well known in the profession which he adorns, and of high repute in the north of England, was devoted much thought to this question of heredity from a life insurance point of view. In his opinion it is not so much disease that is omitted from one generation to another, but organization, "humanity," as he expresses. Any member of the human family may suffer from any disease which is subservient to an individual so suffers that it is the cause of the aliment that must be inquired into. Exposure to this or that set of conditions brings varying results. If the body is exposed to one set of conditions it will take on coat; if to another, consumption; if to a third, cancer; and so on. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention is given to starching to be good Starch, which has sufficient moisture without thickening the goods. Try Dendance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. The Real Ruler. The duchess of Rouburghe, who was Miss May Goelet of New York, has taken up the prevalent craze to collect animals and she is building a miniature zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the duchess, a masterful little lady, has everything she wants. One of the duke's tenants, wishing some concession, went to the castle and told his errand to an old retainer, adding that he would like to see the master in person, h, mon, the aged in person, and he entirely reconciled to the new order of affairs, "there is only as maister in this house thus times and that's no' the duke. Ye should see the duchess." How to Sleep in a Blanket. There are a great many very competent treatises telling you how to build your fire, pitch your tent and all the rest of it.

I know an old man who has had a good deal of trouble and many losses and misfortunes, but he started out in life with a firm determination to extract just as much real enjoyment from it, as he went along, as possible.

They are about the same size and build; each has a heavy crop of hair, which is kept closely trimmed, and their short, stubby mustaches are much alike. Both have dark eyes and there is probably not two pounds difference in their respective weights. If it were not for the fact that the Florida senator has a few more gray hairs in his head than his North Carolina colleague it would be almost impossible for the senate employees to tell them apart.

NOW ASKS FOR CO-OPERATION Believes that Nation Has Been a Little Too Radical - Still Wants Big Margers Legalized. New York, March 8—"I am ready to make the advancement of a scheme of cooperation between the government and the railways my chief interest," said E. H. Harriman, president of the Union Pacific, on returning yesterday from Washington. "We men at the head of great corporations are coming to a better understanding of what the government expects of us," he continued. "We are getting the point of view of the administration. I am of the opinion that the administration is beginning to realize that it has been a little too radical to allow it to continue." And I look to see its opposition take on more of the spirit of cooperation. "Railroad managers have, I am willing to admit, in the past neglected to build up a strong harmonious relationship between themselves and with the government and the public. This matter of officers, and the result has such relations have been completely neglected. Now we must take the matter in our own hands in order to bring about a better understanding and cooperation. "Since the time we took hold of the railroad, the head, the sum of $250,000,000 has been expended in rebuilding the roads. This has all been done since 1900. Another instance of what the railroads are doing to add to the general prosperity of the nation, I'll tell you that the railroads of which I am the head purchase about 1,000,000 tons of steel and during that period we have purchased about 4,000,000 ties. "Combination really benefits the public. The public may think otherwise, but it will learn that real truth in time. That time will come sooner if combinations are legalized. I be live in control and regulation, as I declared before the interstate commerce law. I will be able to limit the limit of such control, corporations ought to be allowed to combine as they find it necessary or beneficial." ABOLISH EXCURSIONS Nebraska Railroads Abolish All Forms of, Reduced, Rates. Omaha, Feb. 3, 8—In retaliation for diverse legislation culminating in the passage of a two-cent per mile passenger fare bill passed by the Nebraska legislature and which went into effect this morning, all Nebraska railroads, including the Union Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Kansas City, the day morning absolutely abolishing all classes of reduced fares. Under the head of "special instructions" the circular says: "Agents must not honor clergy permits, reduced rate' orders, orders or instructions for rates for disabled volunteer soldiers, orders for charlie drivers, forms of a reduced rate order, whether for a state of interstate journey, in any portion of Nebraska. "All excursion rate, one-way or round trip, whether on excursion or certificate plan, at present authorized for conventions, assemblies, events, or other purposes, one-way settler' rates reduced thereto, or party rates, commutation rates or any other special rates, either one way or round trip, applying between two points both of which are in the state of Nebraska, are handled. The circuit concludes by calling attention to the purpose to make the two-cent rate the only possible rate to apply on Nebraska passenger fares. THAW DEFENSE RESTS ITS CASE. Sudden Announcement of Plan is Surprise to All. New York, March 8—There was another event the last day in the trial of Karyn K. Thaw on a day when the defense announced that it had concluded to rest its case. It was nearly 6 o'clock when D. M. Delmas, chief of the Thaw counsel, the District Attorney Jerome on the telephone and made the announcement. The district attorney was perher the most surprised man in New York for it had been understood that when he was called this morning at 10:30, the Thaw attorneys would call one or two of the allens. "I will not be able to tell what action I will take tomorrow," Mr. Jerome said. "I will use the words which assure me that the case of the defense has been finished." SCHMITZ SAYS INNOCENT.

Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand Work from the Field. There is a renascence in penmanship, despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters. Ten years ago it probably would not have occurred to anyone to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition; to-day pages or books of script form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts. Some of the work is in Roman capitals, but the form of letterally adopted is the uncle or half-uncle. Apparently all the writers have found themselves in these models. Within these four years not only has the art attracted a deal of attention, but it has become quite the rage, so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to learn that an amateur is taking lessons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work. From one viewpoint it is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins, but though in the recent revival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand, the scribe and the illuminator are not necessarily one and the same. Some of the illuminations show the minute figure decoration, so delicate coloring and so refined in treatment that it challenges comparison with the best of old work. CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sorea from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak— Both Cured by Cuticura. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. Inabout three weeks his hands and arms were soaked, and he lied cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby.

Probably Shakespeare did his own thinking on questions of religion, said little, and conformed strictly to the existing order. Still we question if he was a good churchgoer. The town and church of Stratford had a decided bent toward Presbyterianism, and there is reason to think that he did not get on well with it in this respect. Himself the wiest of preachers, he does not seem to have been fond of preaching. That which sounds most like it—and very wise it is—comes from Polonius, he will he: "a prating old fool." We fear that when he walked to church with his wife he went no farther than the porch, but strolled along the Avon, where he was found by Susana and Judith in "a grassy field." He was pledged and pledged and violet blue," and "herb-o-brace" as became Sunday. And in winter he was not sorry "when coughing drowned the parson's saw." The preacher and the poet have never got on well together, and will not until they are identically the same person, as Cardinal Newman says; and they must not divide and antagonize what God have joined together—Theodore T. Munger in the February Atlantic. Crisla Averted. The two men met, stopped and glared at each other. Then one of them spoke. "Rivers," he said, "you are wrong! It's a lie! I haven't the grip!" "Brooks," impulsively exclaimed the other, "it's an infamous falsehood! It's a base slander! I don't know of any cure for the grip, and I wouldn't tell you of it if I did!" Then they solemnly shook hands and passed on. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little Ills. woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physicians, but did not get much relief. I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was downhearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find something to help me. "Several years ago while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Postum and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum instead of coffee, and soon began to improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or with ease, and do more things that I never thought I would be able to do in this world. "My appetite is good, I sleep well, and find life worth living. Indeed, A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tautest. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right-bolled according to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did not agree with her. Now her folks say they expect to use Postum the rest of their lives." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Welville," in skirts, "There's a reason." WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES. Satisfactory Vieids of Wheat and Good Prices. Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906. Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Government Agent, Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Sir: When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my north quarter made per acre. You will remember it was all sown to wheat. Well, I finished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of 43% bushels per acre—testing 64% pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raided—so uniform and even in size. You will remember it was a good sample plan I tell you that I have already sold 3,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,250 bushels and my oats nearly 5,000. If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quarter on the south, which I said I should have in order to make one of the best farms in western Canada. I am very glad to be able to tell you that I now own that half section. - My ambition now is to be able to market 20,000 bushels of wheat next year. If some of those good, honest Hoosiers could have been with me during the last two weeks and could have seen the golden grain running down the spout into my wagon and then could have seen it in great piles in my granaries, I feel sure they would have been forced to acknowledge there is no better farming country in the world than this. I may just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest when I went to the neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once "woke up" can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was 42½ bushels per acre, so you see "old Indiana" is holding the ribbon this year. Yours very truly, N. E. BAUMINK. Admired Stateman's Stature. A German journalist visiting in Washington, himself a man of stalwart proportions, was rather inclined to look with something like contempt on the many undersized statesmen he saw in the national legislature. But when Secretary Taft bore down upon him he gasped in wonder. They were introduced and after a short chat the secretary departed. Just as he disappeared from the German's admiring gaze the towering form of Congress. Gan Shallowman, who visited him, looked at the New Hampshire man long and earnestly. "He is big greater than any man in his imperial majesty's Ulian guards," said the foreigner in a tone of chirrin, "and I shall write one whole letter about him." TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY.

I had been having heavy backaches, and my general health was affected when I began using them. My feet were swollen, my eyes puffed, and dizzy spells were frequent. Kidney action was irregular and the secre- tions highly colored. To-day, however, I am a well woman, and I am confident that Donan's Kidney Pills have made me so, and are keeping me well."

Proof of Merit The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the voluntary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are. The plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and have never been equated by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them.

It has injured the college more than any of you ever could guess. Only last week a gentleman declined to give us $1,000,000 because there was so much hazing. Hazing is a bad thing financially."
