Some of his great grandchildren were living with them, but all had a narrow escape and a white neighbor had to go through the fire with only a shirt on, which was burned badly, to carry the fire to the house.

Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money as are expended by the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so riotous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he wouldn't see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you think that collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fed from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's lapses from correct speech, all the more because his ports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "way do you keep telling major to 'seel up' when you know 'sit up' is what you should say?" "Oh, well, mother," Bobby answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Majo, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion." Speaking of Fathers Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."—Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade. "I'm more useful than you are," "rested the colliel. "Yes?" replied the hildog. "You don't say?" "Yes. you should see me go for the sheep then they start to run away." "Well, it wait until some tramps come ing here and when they start to run say watch me go for the calves." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy One of the Best on the Market. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has constantly gained in favor and popularity until it is now one of the most staple medicines in use and has a enormous sale. It is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases, such as coughs, colds and croup, and can always be depended upon. It is pleasant and safe to take and is undoubtedly the best in the market for the purposes for which it is intended. Sold by all druggists. DENTIST. Minth and Park Sts. Seamless Gold Crowns. Bridges and Plate work a Specialty. The deceiver and traitor are despised even by those they serve. Experiments to produce a stingless bee have not proved successful. A stingless mosquito is more important anyhow. When a man speaks and acts for himself it is liberty, but when another man speaks and acts for him, it is slavery. Automobile sore eyes, produced by gazing on your neighbor's new imported car, is a much more common malady. Scientists have discovered in Texas a civilization believed to be older than that of ancient Egypt and considerably deader. Automobile sore throat, due to the dust kicked up by the machines, is the latest source of complaint against them down east. Women need more sleep than men, according to scientists. Then how are they able to talk all night when a fellow wants to go to sleep? There are to be four night courts in New York, to accommodate people who are too busy or too sleepy to commit their crimes in the daytime. In Kansas city a woman has got an inunction forbidding her husband to come home. That ought to make him determine to go there, if anything will. Cheer up! The storms of to-day will be banished by the sun of to-morrow and the drooping wings of hope will flash in force and beauty in the lingering light of victory. That painting contractor who made 2,100 per cent, profit on his job on the Pennsylvania capitol must have been mad because he had to pay out some real money for paint. It has been shown that there is enough coal in the United States to last for 200 years, and still there are people who will worry about the failure of the coal supply. Every few days we have reports of people dying from eating ice cream. But the summer girl is a brave person, and there is no diminution in the demand for the summer edible. After all, it does seem strange that Nikola Tesla should have started out to try to talk with Mars first of all the heavenly bodies, when the man in the moon is so much nearer. If Adam had saved $450 every day until now he would have a fortune almost as great as John D. Rocke feller's. But he didn't, and as a consequence the Adamses are mostly poor. Scientists declare that people think with fingers and toes, and that the lower animals are capable of reasoning. It takes a very inventive mind to keep in the running as a scientist these days." The observer who watched 152 woman en elight from street cars and reports that only eight of them got on correctly, facing in the direction the cars were going, must have a lot of time to spare. If heavy crape adorns the door of your favorite dressing hose do not go in front to console the mistress. Leave her alone in her deep sorrow. Doubtless she has just heard that the prune crop is short. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has discovered that coffee, oat hulls and ground corn cobs figure in the composition of certain patent foods. Most consumers have suspected the existence of bran and excelsor, but corn cobs are a new element. Perhaps they are put in to prevent the diet from being too concentrated, on the same principle that stock raisers add a judicious mixture of cornstalks or other "roughage" to the oats and corn fed to their cattle. The camera, which serves so many useful and interesting purposes, has now been promoted to the dignified office of referee in athletic contests. At a recent meeting of the Southwestern Amateur Rowing Association it was voted that henceforth, at contests held by the association, a competent photographer, with the most modern and efficient camera, should photo shoot the race. The team have so many close finishes and unsatisfactory decisions in the past, declares the Youth's Companion, that it is hoped in this way to provide referees with indisputable evidence. Aguinaldo, according to Justice Mc Cabo of the First District court of the Philippines, now lives quietly on the far near man Naila, refrains from politics, and, as a loyal citizen of the United States, is setting his people the best of examples. An Ohio man, lonesome in the absence of his mother-in-law, has resorted to an action in habeas corpus to bring her back to his home, averring that she is restrained at her will from returning. Now, what do you think of that? British battleships are to have searchlights by the beams of whichever newspaper is displayed at a distance from her. If the ships would join surround Great Britain in time of peace and turn their lights toward the shore the gas and oil trusts would be very neatly foiled. We do not need to read the opinion of experts to discover that prosperity is here.

Blackmer, chief engineer at the Des Moines Edison light plant, died at 1 cclock Monday morning, closing a terrible siege of the hickory smokers since last Thursday without relief.

Blackman's wife and daughter, Florence, were present at his death. Besides them he leaves a mother and two sisters.

Iowa Also Stands High in Teachers Employed Des Moines—Iowa is excelled by only five states in the union in the number of students enrolled in the elementary school, according to the statistics in the annual report of the commissioner of education for 1905, which has just been issued. These states are Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and There are only two states in the entire union where there are more teachers employed in the public schools than in Iowa, but this state stands among the lowest in the number of teachers there are 26,019 teachers in the common schools of Iowa. and of this number 26,021 are female teachers. The states which excel Iowa in the number of teachers in the common schools are New York and Pennsylvania. The percentage of the population enrolled in the Iowa schools is 26.82 per cent, but there are three states where the percentage is larger than in Iowa. However, if those states where the number of children enrolled in the schools is larger than in Iowa, the total number of children enrolled is much smaller than in this state. SHOOTS TO PROTECT HOME.

JKn Johnstone, the famous baseball umpire, said recently in New York that baseball crowds were far kinder to umpires than they used to be. "This is true of theater crowds, too," said Mr. Johnstone. "Way, with professional touring companies in the past, mal treatment is regularly expected. In fact, the companies profiled in these ways than one. "I knew of a company that was playing 'The Broken Vow' in Paint Rock, a one night stand. The audience didn't like 'The Broken Vow', and potatoes and cabbage rained upon the stage. "Still the play went on. The hero raved through his endless speeches, dodging an onion or a baseball every other minute, and pretty sore from those missiles that he hadn't been able to dodge. "But finally a gallery auditor in a proxy戏 of rage and scurred a heave book, and the actor, thoroughly altered started to retreat. "Keep on playing, you fool, hissed the manager from the wings, as he hooked in the boot with an umbrella. Keep on till we get the other one." PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN. The Public Should Have Their Trans lated by the Druggists. What virtue is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession? "Professional etiquette" occupies a prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school, and when strictly analyzed "professional etiquette" seems to mean "doing what is best for the doctor, individually and collectively." Among the things that "is best for the doctor" is the writing of his prescriptions in Latin, and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for its lilies, but forcing a call upon the doctor each time a prescription is needed. In plain and unmistakable English the writing of prescriptions in Latin makes business for the doctors. Let us say that you have the ague. You had it last year and the year before. Each time you have visited the doctor and he has prescribed for you—in Latin. You have asked what he should do for the disease, and when time you are forced to go to him again and give him an opportunity to repeat his prescription—in Latin, and his fee—in dollars. If you ask the doctor why he uses Latin in writing his prescriptions, why he writes "aqua" when he means water, he will give you a technical dissertation on the purity of the Latin language, and the fact that all words are derived from it, etc. It will be a dissertation that you may not be able to answer, but it will hardly convince you. It would be a good thing for the public to devise a little code of ethics of its own; ethics that will be "a good thing for the public individually and collectively." Let us apply one of the rules of this code of ethics to you, the individual. You call in the physician when you have the ague, the gripe, or any of the other lilts to which human flesh is heir, and which you may have again some day. The doctor prescribes—in Latin, and you take this, to you, meaningless scribble to the druggist to have it compounded. Right here is where you come in, if you are wise. Say to the druggist that you want a translation of that prescription. It is your privilege to know what you are taking. While the doctor's code of ethics may not recognize this right it is yours just the same. With the translated prescription in your possession you have two distinct advantages. You know what you are taking, and you wish to call some doctor at some time you have be able to tell him what drugs you have been putting into your system, and also if you should have the same disease again you can save yourself a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by taking this translated prescription to the druggist once more and having it refilled. She Experimented A little girl of five was taken to church one Sunday, and listened with unexpected attention to the sermon, which graphically told the story of the stilling of the tempest on the Sea of Gallilee, and how Christ walked on the waves. In the afternoon her mother missed her and began an anxious search of the house. As she neared the bathroom she heard sounds of splashing, and hurried to the door to behold a small, excited face peering over the rim of the big white tub, and to hear a small, excited voice exclaim: "Say, mamma, this walking on the water is quite a trick." Not Entire. The acronaut, after painfully extricate himself from the wrecked balloon, limped to the nearest farmhouse. "Madam," he said to the woman who answered his knock, "can you accommodate with a night's lodging a balloonist who has come to grief?" "I'd be glad to," she hesitated, "but you are an entire stranger to—" "Not an entire one," he interrupted, with some acerbity. "For I have left my wife, both, and certain portions of my nose back there with the ruined car." Why He Was Jolly. "What are you feeling so uncommon jolly over?" said Bladder. "Why, my best girl went and got married yesterday," said Kilder, slapping Bladder on the back. "Seems to me that's about the last thing for a shap to feel jolly over," said Bladder. "What!" said Kilder, "It was me she went and got married to!" And so the cigars were on Bladder—Browning's Magazine. Can Not Escape Thoughts.

TELLSOFALTONDELAY SONAPARTE EXPLAINS WHY PRO CEEDINGS WERE POSTPONED NEW FACTS DISCOVERED Department of Justice Had Ordered Immunity Pledge Fulfilled and Doesn't Yet Know What Its Attorney Learned. Lenox, Mass. -- Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte Wednesday issued a statement regarding the Standard Oil case in the Illinois court. The attorney general's statement is followed. "On August 14 Judge Landis asked, in substance, that the department of justice consider portions of the transcript of testimony in the case of the United States against the Standard Oil company of Indiana in order to determine whether the Chicago & Alton Railroad company, its officers and employees, were entitled to the benefits of an agreement assuring it and them of immunity against criminal prosecution in connection with the granting of certain rebates to the Standard Oil company. Immunity Bath Ordered. "The department, in compliance with the desire of Judge Landis, examined the above mentioned records and carefully investigated the entire subject, and as a result of such investigation the attorney general on August 29 wrote Edwin W. Sims, United States attorney at Chicago, informing him in substance that the agreement was shown to have been made in June or July, 1906, by C. B. Morrison, Mr. Sims' predecessor in office; that Mr. Morrison's action appears to have been duly authorized at the time by the department; that in the opinion of the department the arrangement had greatly facilitated the indictment and conviction of the Standard company, and that while certain portions of the case might be fairly open to unfavorable comment, the department regarded the government as bound in good faith and also as a matter of public policy, to give effect to the agreement. "Mr. Sims was instructed to read this letter when the grand jury reconvened on September 3, and to take such further action to the foregoing as might seem to the court and to himself appropriate in the premises. New Facts found by Sims. "The department found that Mr Sims did not comply with these in situations by reason of his having had called to his attention very recently certain new, and, in his judgment, ma-rial facts, which he thought should be considered to the department for its further consideration before its conclusions should be finally announced. For this purpose, he asked and was granted by the court a delay of three weeks. "The department is not as yet advised as to what are the facts thus ascertained by Mr. Sims. It has great confidence in his sound judgment and devotion to duty and it awaits his report before taking further action in the premises. Inasmuch, however, as to the facts, it is deemed proper to submit now the present statement to the public." BORAH INDICTMENT SERVED. Senator and Others Are Accused of Timber Land Frauds.

Dr. Richardson Tells Coroner's Jury of Peculiar Circumstances Sur- rounding Death. Cleveland O.—Developments in the Investigation into the death of John J. Phillips, coal operator, broker, banker and clubman, came thick and fast Wednesday and took a sensational turn late in the afternoon when Mrs. Phillips window of the deceased, was into custody by Chief of Police Stamberger, of the aristocratic suburb, East Cleveland.

The war- rant charges second degree murder, to a late hour Mrs. Phillips, who colleagues about the funeral hour in the afternoon, had not regained consciousness. Physicians attending her say her condition is serious. The police are reticent in the case, and whether they really believe Mrs. Phillips culpable in the murder or whether they merely believe that she can give facts concerning the tragedy which would solve the mystery surrounding it, does not appear at this time. The inquest into the death of Phillips was resumed Wednesday morning by Deputy Coroner Houck. Dr. C. L. Richardson, the first witness, testified he had not been summoned until four a.m. more than three hours after Phillips was shot. He had been called by telephone.

He said there was a creepy man in the bed. The bed in which Phillips was found was much stained by blood. When the physicians reached Phillips they realized immediately, Dr. Richardson said, he could live but a short time. BLACK HUNDREDS CHECKED. Massacres Stopped by Action of Bankers and Exporters.

The governor general assured the deputation that the police officials would suppress the raids of the Black Hundreds.

JAMIE WASTED NO TIME. Youthful Philosopher Had Carefully Thought Out Situation. It was Jamie's bath night. He had several each week and he hated them all. On this particular night, once started, he soaked and splashed in the tub for a full half hour, then his mother haled him forth. He came out at the room in his pajamas with his face all streaked and dirty as it was when he went in. "Mercy!" cried his mother. "I thought you took a bath." "So I did!" answered Jamie scornfully. "A bully one!" "But your face is black!" said his mother. "Oh!" Jamie smiled understandingly. "My face is all right. I have to wash that in the morning, bath or so bath. You don't 'spose I'm going to waste time bathing my face!

Generosity That Was Purely the Re- suit of Accident. A missionary bishop told this story about F. Marion Crawford, the famous novelist: "Mr. Crawford went to school," he said, "in Concord, and one day he was taken to call at a Concord clergyman." "The clergyman had a missionary box on his drawing room table, and time hanging heavily on the boy's hands, he amused himself with trying whether a silver dollar—it was all the money he had in the world, and he had converted it into that gigantic coin for safety—would go into the silt in the box's top. "He was a close fit, but unfortunately it did so, the collar slipped out of the embryo author's fingers." There was a terrible crash of silver falling among the copers—and then the boy, as the novelists say, knew no more: "When he came to himself he found the clergyman and his family in raptures over his genocess." CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores 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 June of 1991 the little boy in our room joyfully 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, and in about three weeks his hands and arms heated up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." Sure to Have One. Lincoln Steffens, in an address on municipal politics, said in Chicago of a certain city: "That city is as notorious for its rottenness as the town of Pebbles is notorious for another characteristic. "Here is an incident that will give you an idea of the reputation of Pebbles. "On a train one day a man rushed into a car, held up his hand for attention, and shouted excitedly: "Anybody here who belongs to Pebbles?" "Aye; I do," said a small, dry old fellow calmly. "Then," said the other, "lend us yer corkscrew." Evil of Tipping System. Although there is a great effort made to keep secret the orders in hotels and restaurants in New York, it is quite evident they are on a rapid increase.

There is no end to the nervous conditions that coffee will produce. It shakes in one way in one person and in another way in another. In this case the lady lived in S. Dak. She says: "I have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold. I had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the lower limbs, and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feeling that I must keep on the move. "When it was brought to my attention that coffee caused so many nervous diseases, I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by coffee drinking. "I only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit it my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now I am the ferking and watching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound, peace- "Postum Food Coffee is absolutely worth its weight in gold to me." There's a Reason. "I read the title health of the Road to Well-Being." "The Road to Well-Being." "MIDDIES" UNDER ARREST "MIDDIES" UNDER ARREST SCALED WALLS TO DINE WITH CHORUS GIRLS. Hilarious Time at Bath, Me., May Annapolis, Md. — Superintendent Badger's recommendation to President Roosevelt for the dismissal of four "middles," one of whom is a member of the first class, has caused much talk in Annapolis. The youth are under arrest and confined in the town. Two of the cadets, who are upper classmen, broke the discipline of the academy on the recent summer cruise. The other two offenders are "plebes" of the type known in "middy" slang as as "bilgers"—boy who dropped back a class and reentered the fourth class a second time. Nothing has been heard from the president or the navy department on Capt. Badger's recommendation for dismissal of the four middlesmen. It is learned that the culprits participated in and were understood to be the leaders of a "shore party" at Bath, Me., while the ships of the practice squadron were at anchor off that place. The return to the ship to have been allowed to have the allowed duty and there is said to have been considerable disorder among the youths as a result of too frequent indulgence in something stronger than water. "The Devil's Auction," with a spectacular chorus of beauty, was the bill at the local theater that night. The show was enjoyable, the supper fare under the sheltering care of superior officers was prolonged. In fact, day was approaching when the two "plebes" returned to quarters by way of the wall to find that their absence had been noted in the conduct report. It is said that since forwarding his recommendations for the dismissal of the four youths to the president, Capt. James on them to give him three reasons why they should not be dismissed. In connection with the alleged after-Heater party it will be remembered that Capt. Badger, since assuming charge of the academy, has held several conferences with Mayor Chaude of Annapolis, with a view of breaking up the warrior practices through cooperation between the city and federal authorities. TWO MOTORMEN ARRESTED. Held Responsible for Fatal Wreck Near Charleston, III. Charleston, Ill. — Following the verdict of the coroner's jury, charging them with criminal negligence, which resulted in the death of 14 persons in an interurban collision Friday, motorman Ben F. McClaray and Charles Botts were arrested Sunday. McClaray was motorman of the express car and Botts was motorman on car No. 14, in which the victim was struck by both cars released on bonds of $3,000 each. The coroner's jury completed its investigations Sunday and returned its verdict. McClaray is blamed for leaving Charleston without knowing where car No. 14 was; Botts is accused of disobeying orders in not having his car under proper control while going around the curve where the disaster occurred. The jury further charges that the Central Illinois Traction company employs incompetent men, and does not keep in its principal office some person who is not authorized in the movement of cars, and that instructions to employees on days when the regular schedule is not in force are misleading. WARNER STILL FIGHTS. Pension Commissioner to Appeal Victory of His Stepmother in Will Case. Clinton, Ill. — There is general rejoicing here over the decision of Judge Cochran that Mrs. Isabella Robbins Warner, the former Warner, United States commissioner of pensions, has no necro blood in her veins, not doceive her husband, and is entitled to dower and homestead rights in the estate of Dr. John Warner. The court held that at the time of his death Dr. Warner was worth $1,600,000. The effect of the decision if sustained by the supreme court, to it, when appeal will be rendered, is to give the widow the old Warner homestead in Clinton, $250,000, and an annual income of $10,000. Commissioner Warner, who, as executor of his father's estate was defendant to the suit, concealed whatever chargin he felt over the defeat of his efforts to prevent his stepmother from inheriting her share of his father's estate. "There would have been an appeal in any case," he said. "Now, I shall carry it vigorously to the supreme court." He said he was still convinced his stepmother's father was a negro.

James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, was discussing in Washington the aid which his department gives the American farmer. He pointed out the benefit that had been derived from the introduction of darum wheat, of the wheat-testing machine, and of the method of extracting potash from grape juice. "In fact," said Mr. Wilson, smiling, "I believe that eventually our finest products will be cheap enough to be within the reach of all. Then the story of the boy and the hot-house grapes will be as dead and antiquated as the theater hat stories of the past. "This boy—he was a bootbuck—entered a grocery's store one day, and, pointing to some superb grapes, said: 'Wot's the price o' them there, mister!' The dollar—bound, my lad,' the clerk replied: "A look of anguish passed over the boy's face, and he said, hastily: "Then give us a cent's worth of carrots. I'm dead nuts on fruit." 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 was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Pointed Conversation. "Going away, Madge." "Yes, going away.

The Circassians, who live in the northwestern part of the Caucasus, and who think it is more honorable to live by plunder than by industry, make it a custom to bring their daughters up to be sold as slaves to the Turks and Persians. Circassian beauties, therefore, shine not in their native land but in the harms of the orient. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. College Owners regarded as rather undesirable insurance risks, and it is probable that the rate will be generally increased. In 18 years 784 fires have occurred in college buildings, entailing a loss of $10,500,000 in money and a heavy loss of life. This makes the average money loss over $13,000. "The Carthagenian mercenaries," he said, "encased their prisoners in a cement that, as it had硬ened, contracted. You can't imagine how uncomfortable the weather was." He answered. "Oh yes, I can," she answered. "I once had on a tight bathing suit when it began to shrink."

J An Ideal Tonic B 11 Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is questionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information—Hall's Journal of Health. Weak women need "tone" to throw off disease and build up their strength. No matter what female trouble you suffer from, if you lack tone you will find it hard to recover. Cardui is a tonic, which acts principally on the womanly organs and constitution. Purely vegetable, harmless, yet powerful in curative properties. Wine of Cardui is an ideal tonic for weak women. Mrs. Blanche E. Stephanou, of 1228 S. 42nd Ave., Chicago, Ill., writes: "I suffered with a constant bachache, pain in my side, and other troubles.

Tatt, of Brooklyn, N.Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. HAMLen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J. McCranan, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Chas. H. Flitcher.

The Gate City is always an inviting and interesting place to the visitor for it makes it easy to work with open arms into Iowa, for have upon some of those lofty hills the old warrior, Chief Keokuk, would overlook the surrounding plains and prognosticate the coming events and engagements. Here we found more colorful people in proportion to the size of the town than any other one that we have visited. Many are doing well. Mr French Bland is still in the carpets and furniture business in partnership with a white man and they are doing a larger business than ever. John W. Bland is still the leading blacksmith He is nicely at the shop with his shoe shining parlor. He has just finished remodeling his house and now owns one of the most commodious and modern machines. Keokuk is working on a 1725 man stair. Mr W. H, H Jones, the pioneer tonalist artist, is still leading all other parlor in his line. He is a first class business man.

The churches, three in number, all seem to be doing as well as could be ex-THREE—Bystander— pected Rev. T. W. Lewis, our old friend, has charge of the A. M. E. flock and his ministry here has been a great success. He has made a great success financially for the church and as he is now serving his fifth year here he cannot hope to be returned even though the church and good people desire his return. His lovable wife, formerly Mrs. Hall of our city, and daughter, Miss Mabel, are a great help to the reverend. We hope that the good bishop will well care for Rev. Lewis. Rev. W. T. Green, who is a brother to the Rev. Green in Macon, Mo, has the Pilgrim Rest Baptist church. He is a strong young man and has his church full at the services. Rev Venerable, we think is the charge of the Seventh Street Baptist church. Mr. Wm. Gross and Fields are still in the mall service as carriers. They like the work as they advance. Mr. A. J. Fields is still in the grocery business and says that he is doing well certainly. If only one half of the colored people will patronize him he will succeed. In fact he should expect all of their trade. Mr. and Mrs. Kellis are doing well. Their daughter is in the south taking millinery and art instruction. Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Dixon live at the same place. They are doing well. Our next stop was in Fort Madison, not in the penitentiary, but in the town. Here lives about 200 colored people. They have two churches, the A. M. E. and Baptist. The former is pastored by Rev. D. W. Brown, who is a veteran in the cause, also a civil war veteran. He is a mechanic by trade, but is doing nicely when there. There is a pastor at all in there. There is a pastor Fred Henry is still our faithful baggageman at the C. B. & Q. Ry. depot. We can truthfully say that he is the only colored baggageman that we know of or ever met in the middle west. He is a fine man to meet and is doing well. Mr. A. L. King, one of the progressive young men, has sold his home and bought acreage in the city limits and will soon move out there. Mr. D. L. Holmes is still working for the same place and doing well. Walter Hall is still working in the same place, the Santa Fe shops. He is a steady man. C. W. Eubank is employed at the hotel. He is an old citizen there and doing well. A. J. Jackson is a hard working race man. Sioux City. The metropolis of northwestern Iowa was our next stopping that we will mention. This is a beautiful, clean city, noted for its wide, clean streets and beautiful, substantial buildings. It is indeed an ideal city to live in so far as the physiographical and topographical qualities. Here we found about 900 colored citizens, some doing well, of course. We missed our old friend, James W. Washington, for he was in the mercantile business for many years, also owned a blacksmith shop. He has recently moved to Phoenix, Ariz. Dr. J. Wurlor Norris has moved his office in a more centrally located place and now has a nicely furnished suite of rooms. He is a massage doctor and is more than he can do, is the true race type of the good specimen of the young business man. Rev. J. C. Red, old friend of ed尔员, has charge of the Baptist church.

Practiced Eye Needed to Locate the Valuable Timber. Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skillful and experienced woodman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a peculiar foliage and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sight. The axmen follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to fell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump to fifteen feet high, which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate it. If he is clever and energetic his remuneration may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his earnings are rather prec SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO. Waa Distinctive Mark of Caste in the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, ch? In the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have sat, ch? Queer table manners they had in those days. The fastidious had individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helped yourself from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you licked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swana, herons, porpoises, garlic, verjule, saffron. There was mead and wine in floods and ushers stood about whose duty it was to lead to convenient couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn, dinner, ten o'clock; sipper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES Keepara Had Special Cartridges For Poor Markman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor markman: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away cursing horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without mallice had assigned him 'to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keepers smiled at one another oddly. Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. 'There ain't no more, sir, the man answered. 'No more? Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain' for you, sir. They're for another gont. They've got shot in 'em, sir.'" T The personal recommendations of people who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a simple article of trade and commerce over a large part of the civilized world. PLEA FOR SELF-RELIANCE. Charles G. Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life —first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. A Lengthy Job.

Ingenuity in Stealing Ingenuity in stealing: "What's all the row about?" the hungry man queried the manager of the city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management.

The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay the customer would use the 15-cent ticket to get by the door. "H'm," muttered the hungry man; "fine scheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cash'er. Will Develop Youth's Voice Will Develop Youth's Voice.
