Rally around Roosevelt was a little cry which carried with it inspiration and hope. Leader Bass is well, thank you; how is the Independent? The Campaign waged by the chairman of the County Central committee by Dr. O. M. Lanstrum as shown results beyond the expectations of the most sanguine, and again THE PLAINDEALER has been justified in making the assertions before a chairman was selected that if Dr. O. M. Lanstrum was the man he could conduct aunning campaign. We are pleased to note the rejection of Sheriff E. M. Reynolds Gallatin County. Mr. Reynolds a broad-gauged and efficient officer who deserves the compliant which is his from the people that county. While we have not heard as to the latest results in Silver Bow County, what we have heard is my gratifying to THE PLAIN-ALER. We have quite a circulation in the metropolis, and have been a lively interest in the campaign, and we congratulate the publicans of Silver Bow County in their remarkable showing. And now it is admitted on all that the colored vote here and in Silver Bow gave the Ticket tactically a unanimous support. shall anxiously await and hope the political recognition of our vote in keeping with what they are entitled. good morning, Congressman ly! Our telephone kept us busy sunday receiving congratul- as on the defeat of County torney LaCroix. If not defeated Governor Hoch Kansas can say he had a close l, and all on account of his ored brother. USE CALL FOR GOV. HOCH the latest reports from Kansas state that Governor Hoch is elected by a small plurality. close call for re-election when rest of his ticket was elected some 30,000 or more was a att echo of his hostility to the colored vote of that State. an elected the first time he was as an Abraham Lincoln Re- can; but at the first crisis he recreant to the cause of dom and equal civil rights for and hence brought down upon self the indignation of the --- great majority of his colored constituency. We were present on delegations which waited upon him, urging him to veto the iniquitous black law about to be placed on the Statute Book of the State which was the home of John Brown and freedom. We witnessed delegation after delegation; call upon him protesting against the measure which came so near costing him the governorship; but he had cold feet, and catered to the Missourians who sent children to the Kansas schools. In the election just past more than one-half of the colored vote opposed him, and we verily believe that if two-thirds had stood pat he would have been defeated; something very strange—staunch leaders of Kansas who were opposed to him when we left the State, lined up for him, it looks to a man, at this distance that possibly the interests of the race have been bartered for a mess of pottage. Literary Society Organized at St. James A. M. E. Church Wednesday evening at St. James Church, notwithstanding the inclement and threatening weather, quite a large crowd gathered to take part in the organization of a Literary Society.

ROOSEVELT AND HIS POLICIES ENDORSED BY OVERWHELMING MAJORITIES. IN MON TANA AND THROUGHOUT THE COUN TRY THE ENTIRF REPUBLICAN LEG ISLATIVE TICKET ELECTED; ALSO THE COUNTY TICKET INCLUD ING COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Last Tuesday the people spoke in no uncertain tones their sentiments on its issues involved in the last Campaign, and in thunderous tones all over this broad land endorsed the principles as advocated by the peerless Roosevelt. And, as two years ago the tidal wave of Republicanism with Roosevelt as its chief exponent carried everything before it to such an extent that for fear of a mistake voters just went all the way down the line for the straight ticket. Montana has elected Pray by between five and six thousand, Judge Smith from eight thousand on up, and a Republican Legislature which will insure a Republican United States Senator, and truly now Montana can well feel proud. In our own County of Lewis and Clark the entire Republican Legislative Ticket, also County Ticket including three Republican County Commissioners; in fact everything on the Ticket save one Justice of the Peace, and one Constable. AND NOW! The election is over there is no excuse or pretense to tolerate the IDLER, and we believe that the best interests of the city will be subserved by keeping the IDLER and men of easy living ON THE MOVE. We wonder if our city official will act. These gentry have to live, and if they do not work they subsist off those who do, and are not particular as to the source. Often these conditions lead up to some serious crime, and in order that the chances for crime be lessened, it is better that this class be given the order to GO TO WORK OR MOVE ON! The flagrant and shameful prostitution of the ballot was never more in evidence than in and around the first ward last Tuesday, when rounders, thugs and pugulists reigned supreme, and with thumbs under their suspenders, cigars obliquely tilted in their mouths, pointed out and made the Democratic workers believe that they could line up so many and so many, at so much per head, and these managers bit, and one of these sellers of votes in one instance got the swag and hot-footed it out of tae-city on the first train despite the efforts of the police to head him off. That the money went astray no one regrets; but that these conditions obtain is a shame and blot upon our race,—would-be election day leaders trafficing in the open before the eyes of anyone who will look is certainly not building themselves up in the estimation of all who stand for fair play and a square deal. It was an open question how much were you getting for your vote. While no dependence can be put on such votes, and it cannot be told whether the buyers are getting what they bought or or not, such flagrant conduct and liberties with the ballot is reprehensible and viewed in equally as vicious a light both as to the buyer and the bought. The condition obtained openly that their was no hiring of workers, but buying of votes right in plain view that any except the blind could see. All members of the Lincoln Day Club, and friends, will be present at a Ratification Meeting Monday evening at the Manhattan Club Rooms; David Gordon, President. Don't forget the Thanksgiving Dinner at St. James A. M. E Church on Thursday, Nov. 29th NOTICE! SMOKER! POOR OLD LAGROIX! REPUDIATED BY THE PEOPLE. THE PLAINDEALER'S FIGHT ON THIS VAGILLATING OFFICIAL BEARS FRUIT, AND WE HAVE SEEN HIS FINISH! It is not with gloating glee that we write the above headlines, but rather in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion wherein the last sad rites are performed over one. Even if you were not on the friendliest of terms it is with sorrow that with his demise you look back to the place he occupied in life and soliloquize "what he might have been." THE PLAINDEALER made formal complaint against him as a public official, taking all the preliminary steps toward placing his case before a jury of his peers,—the voters of Lewis and Clark. We submitted our evidence, which consisted of undisputed facts, and without argument submitted them to this jury. Their verdict was rendered last Tuesday in stentorian tones; and as we confidently expected, Guilty as charged, and in that THE PLAINDEALER congratulates itself upon its ability to make good, and Mr. LaCroix, no doubt, has learned a valuable lesson in the ethics of the demeanor of a public official toward his constituency. We know that it is a bitter pill to swallow,—that of a man enclosed in a tenement of possibly less-favored clay, born in the back woods of Missouri, reared in Kansas, to come out here with a short adoption, and build such a fire under him as to result in his undoing. It is only too true that "Sowing the wind reaps the whirlwind," and "The way of the transgressor is hard." In presenting our case we, however, have only dealt in facts as produced from personal contact, and the records; we have avoided mud slinging of any character; we never ceased to bore in on him, and showed no mercy, and in this our last mention of his existence, we offer him the condolence that it is proper and right, and hope that he will in after years be guided by the experience which has been his, and rectify his aim of action in accordance thereof. Innocent Suffer as Well expected has happened! Some days ago the president would have the War Department the companies of the 1st Battalion of the brigade up one or more of their comrades implicated in the recent troubles at Browns that said threat had no effect, and the President issued the order which will have the effect every member of this Battalion with the same has created quite a sensational citizens generally at this time. The while not upholding the soldiers for any reason for the united stand they have hardly enough to preach on a comrade, they know they will not receive a fair test but that they would be lynched. FURNISH YOUR HOME The unexpected has happened! Some days ago it was given out that the President would have the War Department dishonorably discharge three companies of the 1st Battalion of the 25th Infantry unless they turned up one or more of their comrades who were alleged to be implicated in the recent troubles at Brownsville Tex. It seems that said threat had no effect, and the President, true to his word, has issued the order which will have the effect of severing the relations of every member of this Battalion with the United States Army forever. The same has created quite a sensation, and is discussed among our citizens generally at this time. The concensus opinion is that while not upholding the soldiers for any unlawful act, that they commend them for the united stand they have taken, and will not be dastardly enough to preach on a comrade in a hostile Country, where they know they will not receive a fair trial, and where there is no question but that they would be lynched and probably burned.

NO WAR WITH UTES INDIANS AND FEDERAL OFFI- DECERS CIDE TO AGREE. They Go to Fort Meade While Awaiting Settlement—Chief Says "Roosevelt Mighty Hunter," and Will Provide Hunting Grounds—Indian Bureau Will Take Charge. The Ute Indians and the government have come to terms. It has been agreed that the Indian leaders shall have a powwow with "the great white father" and in the meantime the tribe shall go to Fort Meade in charge of Colonel Rodgers of the Sixth cavalry. Rations are to be issued to them there. The government was the result of a 12 hours' conference. Several times the Indians left the conference, vowing they would not return. They insisted they would not go back to Utah and that they wanted a new bunting ground. Colonel Rodgers and Captain Carter P. Johnson told them President Roosevelt would take care of them, and Chief Unkaskin put it to the rest of the band in this way: "Roosevelt, he might hunt; he no want his children starve; he know Injuns like heap big game; he give us good hunting grounds." Unkaskin, Black Whisker and Red Cap will represent the tribe in Washington and urge the president to give another place to hunt. It is not the intention at present to disarm the Indians. The trip to Fort Meade will be made overland as soon as the troops from Fort Keogh, with supplies for the Sixth cavalry, arrive at the front. The settlement, although only of a temporary nature, will, it is confidently believed, end the truce as soon as minor details can be arranged. After the arrival of the Utes at Fore Meade the question of their return to Utah will be taken up and determined by the Indian bureau. LATER REPORT—A message arriving at Arvada from the headquarters of the Tenth and Sixth cavalry reports a change in the plans. The Utes will be brought to Arvada and taken from there by rail, instead of marching over land to Fort Meade, as was at first proposed. Treachery on the part of the Utes is believed to be the reason for the change. Many dissatisfied Utes still advise resistance to removal from Powder river valley.

A verdict against the American Smelting & Refining company and four other smelting companies, and in favor of more than four hundred farmers living in the Salt Lake valley has been rendered by Judge John A. Marshalh, in the federal district court at Salt Lake city. These farmers, who have suffered heavy losses of crops and lives took from arsenic and sulphur fumes discharge from the smelting plants, sued for damages and abatement of the alleged nuisance.

Peary Went Further North Than Any Previous Explorer—Bridgeman, Secretary of Arctic Club, Talks on Expedition—It Was Peary's Fifth Attempt to Reach North Pole. Although Commander Robert E. Peary, who has been heard from after his long sojourn in the frozen north, failed to reach the north pole, Secretary Herbert L. Bridgeman of the Peary Arctic club believes that his feat in reaching further to the north ought to be a subject for national rejoicing. Mr. Bridgeman states Mr. Peary failed to reach the pole because of drifting ice, but now has the distinction of having gone further north, having reached 87 degrees, 6 minutes, a point 32 minutes nearer to the north pole than reached by the duke of Abruzzi expedition in 1900. In discussing Peary's dash after he had had time to study the commander's message more closely, Mr. Bridgeman said: "I am sure it has been the ambition of every true American to see the stars and stripes first at the Arctic pole. And that it should be an American to reach the furthest north is but little less gratifying. "It is evident Peary has had the same experience of getting on drifting ice and being carried away from his goal that other explorers have had. Probably no other man living would have got off so well as Peary has. He found himself on ice that had been broken up by a storm and was taking him in a contrary direction. It is likely that he and his party went to the limit of human endurance before they gave up, as instance the eating of the dogs." "Will Peary ever make the attempt again?" "I do not know. Although it was said by the newspapers when he sailed that if he failed this time he would never try again he never told me that, and I was quite close to him. I consider that one wonderful thing of this expedition is the fact that the Roosevelt is coming home with the entire party, despite the hardships they have experienced. "Peary probably reached within 203 miles of the north pole. He passed the Abruzzi party by about 30 miles." This was Peary's fifth attempt to reach the pole. Other sledge journeys were made in the years 1892, 1895, 1900 and 1902. Crash Injures Twelve. Paterson, N.

Indications Wednesday Morning Were that Washington Went Republican—Gov. Gooding, in Idaho, was Defeated—Hearst Lost Out in New York—Johnson Re-elected in Minnesota. Washington state has given the republican congressional and supreme court ticket a handsome majority. The majority may run up to more than 30,000. Spokane County. Total returns in 81 out of 101 precincts in Spokane county compiled at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning showed that republican county candidates led their democratic opponents by from 750 to 2000 plurality. It was claimed by Chairman Pugh of the republican county central committee, and not disputed by the democrats that the entire republican county and congressional ticket was elected. King County. The entire republican ticket in King county has been elected with the exception of Joseph Lyons, republican candidate for state senator from the Sixth district, and Williams, from the Thirty-second district. While the returns are incomplete it is practically admitted in republican strongholds that George F. Cotterell, democrat, will run ahead of Lyons. In Idaho. It is shown that: Ada county has gone against Governor Gooding by about 500, though the legislative and county tickets carried by some 2000. Washington went against the governor by about 1000 and elected the entire democratic ticket. Boise county is democratic, also Owyhee and Elmore, though the latter seems to elect one republican to the legislature. Canyon county is very close on governor with chances that the republican legislative ticket is elected. Custer and Lemhi have not been heard from. They are conceded to the democrats. Cassia is close, with chances favoring the republicans, as is Blaine. Lincoln has not been heard from, but it is claimed by the republicans. Dubois claims the election of his American party ticket in Bingham. The other southeastern counties have gone republican, Oneida by 2000 and Bannock by 1000. Bingham is claimed by the republicans by 1500 and Fremont by 2500. In Montana. Incomplete returns from the state of Montana indicate the election to congress of Charles N. Pray, republican, and Henry C. Smith, republican candidate for the state supreme court. Republicans appear to be making gains throughout the state. The big democratic precincts of Silver Bow county, however, are not yet heard from, but it is thought that the vote in these districts will not be high enough to save the state to the democrats. In New York. New York.—According to returns received up to an early hour Wednesday morning, Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for governor, has been elected by 50,000 or more plurality. Outside of Greater New York, with 160 election districts missing, Mr. Hughes had a plurality of about 124,000. In Greater New York, with 69 election districts missing, William Randolph Hearst, the democratic and Independence League candidate, had a plurality of 75,036. Mr Hearst carried all the boroughs of the Greater city, despite the fact that the early returns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn. Colorado Republican. There is no reason to doubt the claim of Chairman Vivian of the republican state central committee that the entire republican state ticket has been elected in Colorado by majorities ranging from 25,000 to 30,000. It is conceded that the republicans have elected at least two of three congressmen, and, more likely, all three. In Pennsylvania. The most exciting campaign in Pennsylvania in 25 years has ended in a triumph for Edwin S. Stuart, republican, for governor, over Lewis Emery, Jr., democrat and Lincoln party, by a plurality, which late tonight the local republican leaders claim will reach 100,000. Aside from the contest for other state officers, the chief interest centered in the battle in Philadelphia for district attorney and in a few of the congressional districts. Members of the house of representatives and county officers were elected in every county, and state senators were chosen in 25 of the 50 districts. Johnson in Minnesota. The indications are that Governor John A. Johnson, democrat, is re-elected by 50,000 plurality. A. L. Cole, republican candidate for governor, ran behind the rest of his ticket, the election of which is claimed by from 25,000 to 50,000 plurality. The returns on the legislature, which will elect a successor to Senator Nelson, are meager, but indicate that the republican majority will be much reduced. Eight of the nine members of congress from the state are republicans. Republicans in Michigan. Detroit, Mich.—Governor Warner and the entire republican state ticket have been elected by 60,000 to 100,000 majority. The republican congressional candidates in all of the 12 Michigan districts have been elected and the republicans will have a large majority in the state legislature with a possibility of its entire membership Davidson Wins in Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis.-Davidson, republican, is elected by a large plurality over Alyard for governor of Wisconsin. Indications are that F. E. McGovern, antigraft independent candidate for district attorney, will be elected. Congressman Babcock probably reelected. Republicans Carry Utah The republicans in Utah have elected their state ticket by the usual plurality, returning Joseph Howell to congress and electing Joseph E. Frick justice of the supreme court. Cutting Down Iowa Figures Des Moines, Iowa.—Returns now coming are reducing Cummins' loss as shown by earlier returns. If these keep up the republican claims of at least 10,000 plurality will be substantiated. Iowa will have ten representatives in its next congressional delegation. The next state legislature will be safely republican and on joint ballot will probably re-elect Jonathan P. Dolliver to the United States senate. Tennessee Is for Democrat Nashville, Tenn.—Patterson, democrat, is elected governor by 28,000. Avent and Hannah, the democratic nominees for commissioners, will have the same majority. The legislature will be overwhelmingly democratic. In California San Francisco.—From meager returns received from various sections of the state P. M. Gillett, republican, governor, is probably elected by about 10,000 majority, with Bell, democrat and union labor, second, and Langdon, Independence league, third. San Francisco, which was expected to give Bell a big vote, will probably give Gillett about 1000 majority, while in Los Angeles, normally a heavy republican city, the vote between Gillett and Bell was comparatively close. REPUBLICANS TO CONTROL Sixtieth Congress Will Be Theirs by Large Majority. New York, Nov. 7. —Elections were held Tuesday in 42 states, and while the results in a number of instances were of unusual interest, it may be said that, generally speaking, there were no great surprises. Throughout the south the democratic state and congressional tickets have been elected by the usual majorities. In the west and east the states that were aligned two years ago in the democratic or republican columns show no material change, the democrats making gains in some instances and the republicans in others. The republicans retain control of congress by a good majority. Perhaps the wildest general interest in the elections centered in the remarkable fight for governor which has been waged in New York state between Charles E. Hughes, the republican candidate, who throughout the campaign has had the support of President Roosevelt, and William Randolph Hearst, who has been running as the regular democratic and Independence league nominee. The latest returns available show that Mr. Hughes, while losing nearly all of the principal cities of the state, was successful by about 50,000 plurality. The rural districts brought about the republican victory In New York city the Tammany Hall-Independence league judiciary ticket was successful, with possibly one exception, over the candidates named by the nonpartisan "judiciary nominators." Massachusetts has reelected Curtis Guild, republican, as governor over District Attorney John B. Morgan of Eoston, who was the candidate of the democratic party, the independence league and the prohibitionists. In Chicago it is estimated that the Independence league ticket polled 40,000, but there was a heavy republican plurality for the state officers. Pennsylvania has elected Stuart, republican, governor, over a fusion opposition by the usual republican plurality. Michigan, Iowa. New Hampshire, North Dakota, Connecticut, Indiana and Wisconsin have rolled up republican pluralities, although there was some falling off from the usual vote in Iowa. In Minesota Governor Johnson, democrat, was reelected by the largest majority ever given a democrat in the state. Nebraska shows big republican gains. Ohio also shows republican gains over the Pattison vote of last year. The republicans expect a plurality of 75,000 in the state. The constitution of the new state of Oklahoma will be written by democrats. The Indians voted the democratic ticket almost solidly. Oklahoma also went strongly democratic in choosing delegates to the constitutional convention. Governor Hoch may be defeated in Kansas by W. A. Harris. The result in Missouri was in doubt at a late hour. The democrats regained some of the congressional districts they lost two years ago. That the republican party will have complete control of the sixteenth congress is indicated by election returns. Negro Soldiers Fight. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 3.—A special to the Times from El Paso, Texas, says: Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Fort Bliss, five miles from here fought in a saloon outside the reservation last night. Private Mathews was killed and Private Lewis and Alexander Johnson, a saloon keeper, were wounded. It is said Johnson can not live. Other troops from the fort have been dispatched to arrest the men. A card game is said to have prompted the affair.

Ten Million People Reduced to Stern Want—Food Riots Occur Daily—Im- perial Government Urged to Aid Sufferers—Thousands Are Dead— Death List Appalling. Shanghai, Nov. 8—Advices received vere indicate that famine conditions of the most desperate nature prevail n the northern part of the province of Siangsu, with but one exeeption the most fertile and valuable of the many provinces of the empire. Ten millions of the total population of 21,000,000 in the province are reduced to stern want. Crops are a failure and scenes of suffering that rival anything in the empire's history are reported from every point in the region. Food riots which have been marked with much bloodshed, are reported daily and so far the officials have ta- ken no steps to relieve the distress. In fact, to prevent the rioting spread- ing to the cities, all the governors have been ordered to keep the people in their homes at all hazards and further rioting has resulted from this step. All the local diplomatic represen- tatives have received advices from foreigners in the famine stricken re- sion, urging them to use all their in- fluence to have the imperial govern- ment take steps to aid the sufferers. \ Presbyterian missionary who has ust returned from the region declares hat thousands of people have alreacy starved to death and that unless imme- liate aid is forthcoming the death Ifst will be appalling. LATE NEWS ITEMS. Cleveland, Ohio—Backed bya $9,- 000,000 syndicate, Myron T Herrick of Cleveland and Thomas F. Walsh of Denver propose to harness the moun- tain cataracts and streams of the Rockies and revolutionize the west. Their plans contemplate one of the most gigantic engineering feats in the history of the country.the development of water power from the mountains of Colorado for long distance transmis- sion. The deal has already been fi- nauced, millions from bankers and capitalists all over the world having been subscribed to push the project to success. Fifty streams will be harnessed, and Herrick forsees a commercial develop ‘nent throughout the west which shall bring electricity into use among all the western railroads and western manufacturing plants. For the present only territory within a radius of 110 miles of the central power plant will be embraced. Later a general broaden- ing out is contemplated in the whole middle west. Oakland, Calif.—Fire last Monday night destoyed the Pioneer automobile garage, and two adjoining houses, in- curring a total loss of $150,000. Twenty-five uutomobiles stabled in the buliding were burned. Tho structure is a total loss. ‘The Farmers & Miners’ bank of Ladd, a mining town in [llinois was held up and robbed Monday afternoon. The amount of their booty was about $7000. The robbers made good their escape. Chicago.—Paul O. Stensland, the convicted bank, bas told the court how he started on his ciminal career. Stenland’s confession followed the former cashier Henry W. Herring's pleaZof guilty to his part in the looting of the Milwaukee Avenue Stite bank of $1,500,000, Forgery was the tech- nical’ charge against Herring. His sentence is to an indeterminate term of one to 14 years in the penitentiary. Stensland, who is already rerving from one to 10 years for embezzlement, will also plead guilty to torgery and receive the same punishment as his fellow offi- cial in the wrecked bank. It is said Mrs. Hering, who had hitherto stood steadfastly by her husband, will teck a divorce, saying she cannot live with him now she knows he is a thief. ‘My trouble began nine years azo," Stensland said, “When I bought $160,- 000 worth of real estate and could not pay for it. ‘Hering suggested that we form a syndicate and pay for the real estate with notes on depositors. Then began a forgery of notes. We raised the money by signing depositors’ names. We meant to take them up as they fell due, but could not do so, and more were forged. Iknow the notes were forged, but Hering did the work."” Pathos of the Letter Mail. New York, Nov. 6—A letter ad- iressed to “Mama in Heaven” came to Atlantic City in the mail bag from Philadelphia. It contained in a child- ish scrawl, the message: “Dear Mama—Please come and see your boys, and bring papa, too. We pray for you.” (Signed) — Josie, George.” No clue is given to the home of the childish writers or their identity, and the letter will be for. warded to Washington. King Who Killed Seven Wives. Paris—M. Millies-Lacroix, minister of the colonies, has decided to sum- mon the Annam state council and de pose King Thanh-Thal.

"Previously the king had ordered seven of his wives to be executed and looked with delight while they were slowly tortured to death. . 8 : Physicians Recommend Castoria CAstoRIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma- ceutical sociciies and medical authorities, It is used by physicians with Tesults most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the Tesult of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Secon¢—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi- lates the food: Taint—It is an agreeable and perfoct substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio 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, how- ever, 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.—Hail’s Journal of Health.

Halstead Scott, cf Chicago, Ils., says: “I have Prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.” Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of Practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place.” Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brookiyn, N. ¥., says: “I have used your Castoria and found {t 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. MoCrann, 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 Cas toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.” Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “The name that your Cas» toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes Dlessed by the Presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse ment 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 expert ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex ception.

Carolled birds among the trees, Droning, softly, buzzed the bees! But the lover saw nor heard Buds a-bloom or song of bird! In her cheeks were roses red Fairer than the woodland bred! Sweet within her snow-white throat Dwelt a soft, melodious note. Deeply hidden in her eyes Was a glimpse of Paradise! Round about her waist his arm Shielded her from woodland harm!

CONUNDRUM: What two countries of the Orient will be oftentest mentioned during the next few weeks? Give it up? Why Turkey and Greece, of course! "Oh, the snow! The beautiful snow!" The Efficacy of Prayer Years ago an old darkey, whose master had some fine, fat turkeys, made up his mind that he must have one of those turkeys, and as he tells the story he sets to work to get it by prayer: "I pray the Lord," he said, "dat he would send me one of dem turkeys. I prayed dat way mornin' and ebenin' for a week, but still dat turkey didn't come, an' I tell you my mouth was just a-waterin' fo' it. So I says to myself, I must change my prayer, an' so I prayed one ebenin' dat de Lord would sen' me after de turday, an', brud'dren, dat turkey was here befo' daylight."—Utah Plain Dealer. The above anecdote not only proves the efficacy of prayer, but that, as we are told, the Lord helps those who help them selves.
