Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Muskogee, I. T., Friday, March, 8, 1907. Vlo 8 Guthrie, Okla., March 4.—In the opinion of Delegate Henry E. Asp the Democrats of the Constitutional convention have endangered Oklahoma's chances for statehood through the adoption of the initiative and referendum. He takes the position that the Enabling Act provides for a republican or representative form of government, whereas the initiative and referendum provides that all legislative matters shall be finally settled by the people, and that the president under his oath will of necessity have to refuse statehood when the constitution is presented to him. The initiative and referendum was passed to its final reading this morning by a vote of 80 to 5. Delegate Kornegay of Vinita was the only Democrat to vote against it, and he did so on the ground that Mr. Asp's opinion was correct. In voting "No" Mr. Asp made the following explanation: "I have no objection to the principle of the initiative and referendum. The Enabling Act, however, that authorizes this convention, contains this provision: 'The constitution shall be republican in form.' Again in the Enabling Act it is provided that if the constitution and government of the said proposed state of Oklahoma are republican in form, and if the provisions of this act have been complied with in the formation thereof, it shall be the duty of the president of the United States to issue his proclamation. Section 1 of this proposition provides 'The people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and amendments to the constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls, independent of the legislature.' So that under this provision, independent of the legislature, that has beenpassed by the legislature, may be repealed by the people, so that the powers of the legislature are absolutely nullified. In fact, the powers granted to the legislature under this provision, so far as legislation is concerned, is absolutely futile. In my humble judgment this is not a republican form of government and does not provide a republican form of government as required by the Enabling Act, and in my judgment it will be the duty of the president of the United States to refuse statehood to the people of Oklahoma, and for that reason, and that reason only, I vote 'no.'" Guthrie, Okla., March 4.—The Democrats of old Woods county, which embraces the three new counties of Woods, Alfalfa and Major, administered a hard blow to the constitutional convention Saturday when they adopted resolutions endorsing the candidacy of Jesse Dunn for the supreme court. The convention is condemned in unmistakable terms for having butchered that county, and the duplicity of three Woods county Democratic delegates in direct violation of the principles of the initiative and referendum plainly shown. After quoting from the platforms movement. After the meeting Haskell's boom for governor was started. It eminated from local option sources. Haskell made no attempt to deny his candidacy. Friday a report of the committee on general provisions and amendments contained a "sleeper" framed in the interest of local optionists and on the floor of the convention Haskell was its most ardent champion. The clause was voted down, however, and Haskell failed to make good. Guthrie, Ola., March 1.—On how radical are the laws adopted by the constitutional convention of Oklahoma concerning the railroad interests will depend the future extension work of the Fort Smith and Western railroad, states E. M. Crand, general manager. "St. Louis papers have published an article stating that we would extend our line south from El Reno," said General Manager Crane yesterday, "but the publication was unauthentic and was not given out from this office. What we will do is yet a problem. We have to wait the adjournment of the constitutional convention and see what railroad laws will be recommended. If the laws are radical and against the interests of the railroads, it is doubtful if we can make any extensions in any direction." Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 28.—Trouble in its most virulent form is brewing in the Democracy of the new state. Before long it is expected to break, and then will be witnessed one of the bitterest fights ever known in politics. To those who have been watching the constitutional convention the trend of events in the dominant party is exceedingly plain. Of course there is an effort to conceal the breach, which is rapidly growing more pronounced, but the occasional howls of hit dogs give evidence of what is to come—and that in the very near future. The disturber in the party is "Railroad" Haskell. This selfish politician has simply created sheol since his advent upon the political stage of Oklahoma. He is being cussed by he former "peerless" leaders of Democracy, and he in his turn is cussing the aforesaid "leaders," and in the meantime administering divers and sundry blows against what is popularly known as the old organization. In a word, Haskell proposes to be a candidate for governor. He is determined that Lee Cruce shall not land that nomination at the hands of the Democrats, so he has decided that he will put the Ardmore banker in a back seat on the realm of oblivion. "Corporation Bob" Williams of Durant started in to do. this very stune, but it was soon discovered that he was too weak in anterior section of his anatomy for so stupendous a task. The statesman from Durant is regarded by Democrats as of Delegates Major, Wood and Harned, in which these men declared that the question of the formation of new counties would be left to the vote of the people, the resolution continues: "The Democratic party of Woods county has always stood, since 1902, when the matter was an issue, against the division of the county unless the same was voted by the people of the county, and it is the sense of this convention that the wishes of the people and of the Democracy of Woods county have been trampled upon and ignored by the action of the constitutional convention in arbitrarily dividing Woods county, expressly against the wishes and resolutions of the county at large, and also the constitutional districts, acting separately, and affirm that if the action of the constitutional convention stands, it will work material injury to our people and to the Democratic party." Guthrie, Okla., March 4.—"In so far as their work is completed, we find MUCH which meets with our hearty approval." The above extract from the resolutions adopted by the Oklahoma Democratic county convention Saturday in reference to the constitutional convention, is proving a heavy blow to "Railroad" Haskell and his bunch of political prestidigitaturs here. The resolution was prepared by Roy Stafford, editor of the Oklahoma, and were intended as a rebuke to Haskell, et al. The word "much" which is used is causing many of the delegates to ponder considerably. Guthrie, Okla., March 2.—"Railroad" Haskell demonstrated his ability to take either side of a public question for vote getting purposes during the discussion of what was known as the local option clause in the constitutional convention Friday afternoon. Several weeks ago Haskell was the most vociferous advocate of prohibition on the floor of the convention. He was for state wide prohibition for commercial reasons, at least, so he said. He catered to the prohibition element in the choicest sort of language and sought to impress the leaders of that movement with his absolute sincerity. The prohibitionists won, and to Haskell was given the credit for the victory. For a time the subject was dropped and Haskell continued to pursue his usual path of double dealing and political scheming in his own selfish interest. For a time prohibition was lost sight of. Then one day a large number of prominent business men from all sections of the state arrived in Guthrie and held a meeting at one of the theatres. They were local optionists, and they passed resolutions requesting the convention to frame and submit a local option clause to the people along with the prohibition proposition. Haskell was in several conferences with leaders of this No 23. having made such a damphool of himself in the constitutional convention that he is not to be considered in the race for gubernatorial honors. That is why Haskell got into the game. True, Tom Doyle is a candidate for the job on the Oklahoma side, but Haskell has determined to kill off all the Oklahoma leaders in the party. He has made up his mind to entirely disrupt the Oklahoma organization, in order that a new machine, hailing from Indian Territory, and of his own making, may become supreme. His acts in the convention have been with that very end in view. He insisted upon the elimination of the "Jim Crow" clause from the constitution because he knew the leaders of the old Oklahoma organization wanted it. Then he proceeded to choke his ideas on the subject down the throats of Moman Pruitt and other former stalwarts, and, strange to say, they swallowed the dose and licked their master's hand in abject submission. Every other piece of legislation by the menagerie has been trained along this very line by Haskell. And now, as a final stroke, he proposes to skin the Oklahoma works for the governorship. Naught cares he for Tom Doyle. The latter helped him to organize the convention in the early stages of its session, but that makes no difference. He proposes to knife Doyle. In the gerrymander, perpetrated by his subordinate, Pittman of Enid, he has already killed the chances of Hoffman of Chandler for the United States senate. Gore is a makeshift and Turner is not regarded very seriously by the new brand of Muskogee Democracy. Muskogee, I. T., Feb. 28.—The defeat of the "Jim Crow" law in the constitutional convention by "Railroad" Haskell is a source of much gratification here among the negroes. Prominent leaders of ahtt race are open in their commendation of the "boss" for his championship of their cause. He is regarded by them as their best friend in having prevented the Southern Democrats from inserting what is considered an objectionable piece of race legislation in the organic law of the new state. Said a prominent negro today: "We knew Mr. Haskell was our friend. He has shown this through his work in the constitutional convention in turning down the "Jim Crow" law. The fact that he is from the North is what led him to favor us. He knows he needs us in his campaign and for that reason he taught those Southern Democrats a lesson. Speaking for the negroes of the Third Congressional district, I can say that we are exceedingly proud of Mr. Haskell." It is understood that there will shortly be held a mass meeting of the colored organization at which appropriate resolutions endorsing Haskell's action will be adopted.

Robinson (formerly Miss Hazel Upson) of DeKalb, Ill., "as a result of six months suppression, following an attack of fever, that I never got over just right. I was weak and hardly able to get around. The best doctor in DeKalb gave me up and said I could not get well. Mamma was almost crazy about it. One afternoon a lady friend came to see me and told mamma to get me a bottle of WINE OF CARDUI Woman's Relief so she got it, though she had little hopes of its helping. But, praise God! I had taken just three bottles, when I was relieved and began to get well right off. I kept right on taking Cardui and now I am well and strong. I feel that I owe my life to Cardui and will never be through praising it."

Sloan, Boston, Mass. Satisfactory Yields 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 43½ bushels per acre—testing 64½ pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised—so uniform and even in size. You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,280 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 rushing 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 and threshing. This year I proved to my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once "woke up," can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was $42 \frac{1}{2}$ bushels per acre, so you see "old Indiana" is holding the ribbon this year. Yours very truly, N. E. BAUMINK. Keep Your Face to the Sunlight. 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 not in dissipation, but in wholesome recreation and fun. He has always tried to see the humorous side and the duty of happiness.—O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. Proof of Merit.

"Cockie Leekie" a New Way of Preparing Fowl for the Table—Hotch Potch a Fine Soup—For Scotch Scones. Cockie Leekie.—Choose a large, meaty fowl and prepare it as if it were to be roasted. It may be cooked with or without dressing. If dressing is to be used, and the dish is desired with all the Scotch flavor, oatmeal enriched with butter and well seasoned with pepper and salt and chopped onion is the regulation mixture. Into four quarts of boiling water drop the stuffed, dressed fowl; simmer gently for four hours. When the fowl goes into the pot add five leeks, cut into inch-lengths. Half an hour later add four more leeks, cut up, also pepper and salt to taste. Sometimes when the fowl is not stuffed it is cut up and small pieces are put in the tureen with the soup. A knife and fork are laid by the spoon at each plate, and when the soup is served the meat is eaten afterward on the same plate. The fowl may be served as a second course. Hotch Potch.—This is another famous Scotch soup. Put three pounds of meaty shin of beef in four quarts of cold water. Allow it to come to a boil and simmer for a few minutes, then skin it carefully. Cut into dice two onions, two carrots, two parsnips, two turnips, one head of celery, and when the meat has cooked for two hours add this to the contents of the pot, with four sprigs of parsley chopped fine, half a cupful of shredded cabbage and half a cupful of barley which has been washed over night. With the vegetables add seasoning of pepper and salt to taste. In two hours put in one cupful of green peas or one can of peas. Half an hour later the soup pot should be taken from the fire; bind slightly with two tablespoonfuls of flour and two tablespoonfuls of butter rubbed to a paste. After serving the soup follow it with the meat and boiled potatoes as a second course. Scotch Collops.—Take one pound of veal, cut it in pieces about two inches square, flour the meat, and fry it in butter to a light brown. Dredge again with flour, pour half a cupful of cold water over the meat, set it to cook, and as soon as it boils add one chopped onion and a blade of mace. Let it simmer for half an hour, then season with one tablespoonful of lemon juice, a teaspoonful of finely minced lemon peel, two tablespoonfuls of sherry and one tablespoonful of mushroom ketchup. Let it boil up once, then serve poured over slices of buttered toast. Scotch Scones.—These warm cakes eaten with coffee make a breakfast one will not readily forget. Sift one quart of flour in a deep bowl, with a tablespoonful each of salt and soda. Rub in three tablespoonfuls of butter and mix with a pint of sour milk. Toss on a flour baking board and cut off three pieces large enough to roll out the size of a dinner plate. Do not knead the dough or touch it any more than is absolutely necessary. Roll until about one inch thick, then cut each round into four. Bake on a hot griddle slightly greased. Turn and bake on the other side. They will rise until thick and puffy. Be certain they are cooked through. Eat warm with butter. Pipe Clay in Washing Tub. A little pipe clay dissolved in the water employed in washing linen, cleans the dirtiest clothes thoroughly, with a great saving of labor and soap.

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 Congressman Sulloway hove into view. The German looked at the New Hampshire man long and earnestly. "He is bigger than any man in his imperial majesty's Uhlan guards," said the foreigner in a tone of chagrin, "and I shall write one whole letter about him." The Mugger's Attendants. While clambering up I noticed what looked like the hulk of a ship, about 400 yards away, says a writer in the London Field. It turned out to be a monster crocodile; it must, without exaggeration, have been 27 or 28 feet long, and in its close vicinity were five or six small muggers, looking like a bodyguard. I was afterward told by an old Cawnpore resident that they actually act as such, and give warning of any approaching danger to their overlord. A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying in other words that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday. —Pope. COFFEE THRESHED HER. 15 Long Years. "For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little Ils. 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 more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought I would be able to do again 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 tasteless. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled accord ing to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did not agree with her.

Mrs. Jodie Robbins, of 1121 Clar St., Decatur, Ill., says: "I was weak, thin and troubled with headaches. My appetite failed so that I did not relish my food. I was unable to do my work because my limbs palned me so and my feet were swollen. I got numb and dizzy, my tongue seemed at times to be paralyzed so that I couldn't speak distinctly. My extremities, when in this numb state, felt as if some one was sticking needles into me all over their surface. Through my shoulders at times I had such pain that I couldn't sleep. Many times I awoke with a smothering sensation. "When the physician's remedies failed to benefit me I began to look for something that would. My sister, Mrs. McDaniel, of Decatur, recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me and I at once purchased some. I was greatly encouraged when I saw how they acted on my nervous condition and continued using them until cured. I am now able to attend to my duties and have not consulted a physician since. "I also gave them to my daughter who had always been weak and who at this time seemed to lack vitality. Her cheeks were colorless and she was thin and spiritless. She had anaemia and we feared consumption, because every time she went out doors if it was at all cold or damp she would take cold and cough.

Now, what do they mean by standing pat? We can undrestand what Capt. Ayers, Thomas Sanson, L. F. Fue, A. Z. English, A. V. Jones, Capt. Reeves, A. S. McRea and M. W. Caraway mean by standing pat, but we can't tell what Doug and his cohorts mean by that term. It may not be according to the Christian ethics and while we believe in forgiving our enemies and we do so with all our heart, but them, we can never forget them. NOTICE. The Republican Central Committee of the City of Muskogee is hereby called to meet at the office of Thomas A. Sanson, No. 8, Masonic building, in said city, on Monday night, March 11, 1907, at eight o'clock. A. Z. English, Chairman. We hope the committee will call a convention and apportion delegates from the various wards according to their Republican strength. If this is done all will be well, otherwise there will be "something doing." DEMOCRATS AND RESTRICTED SUFFRAGE. The women who have been asking for the right to vote should have known their cause was hoepless when the convention was seen to be overwhelmingly democratic. The democratic party pretends to be the party of the people but has always stood for restrictions on the right of suffrage. Democrats as a general thing, do not believe in the masses taking part in the elections. To discourage the masses, democrats have put a poll tax on voters and in many cases the conditions are such that the great laboring masses are shut out from the ballot. The action taken by the democrats at Guthrie is along this line and for the same purpose. The labor and farmer organizations had expressed a desire to have the right to vote extended to women, declaring that their wives would most certainly avail themselves of the privilege. This is where these people made a mistake. These democrats who believe a rul- ing class is born, in some states have almost eliminated the labor vote and would not double that vote in Oklahoma. This does not end this question, however, as these labor organizations will without question, invoke the initiative to test the matter before the people in the very first year after the adoption of the constitution. These people through the initiative will change the constitution and give the women of the state the right to vote. The argument used against granting women the right to vote were very weak as all apply with equal force to men. Few of the women would vote, but comparatively few of the men vote except as they are dragged to the polls. The same effort made to secure the vote of the women as is usually made to secure the vote of the men would bring every woman to the polls. Besides the point made by Delegate Asp, that while few women would vote, the fact that they could do so would have a tendency to have better observance of laws just as the enactment of the initiative and referendum would cause legislators to be very careful as to the kind of laws passed.—Times Journal.

To the Negro Protective League of the State of Oklahoma---Greeting. I have been approached by a number of the leading men of our race relative to calling an extra session of the League to take steps looking to the protection of our interests in the New State. I am heartily in accord with the idea but believe it is the better part of wisdom to wait until the constitutional convention has made public its constitution, then we will have the entire matter in shape for action. I therefore give notice that immediately following the adjournment I will issue a call for the league. FOR SALE, Lots in Lincoln Park Addition.

We, the members of the Republican Press Association of the Third Congressional District, declare as follows: Whereas, there is an apparent misunderstanding existing among the voters of the district as to the position of the party on the so-called race question, and Whereas, the Republican party has DISCHARGED its OBLIGATIONS to the NEGRO in that it gives him full civil rights, equal with every other citizen, and still stands for that policy. Thebefore, be it resolved by this association that the Republican party of the Third Congressional District is OPPOSED to NEGRO DOMINATION in any sense. That it stands for separate schools, SEPARATE COACHES and SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS for NEGROES which will have equal facilities and comforts to those furnished for other races. That it is opposed and WILL USE EVERY MEANS at its command to PREVENT the nomination of Negroes on any elective ticket, seeking the suffrage of the other races.

Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 28.—"I object to the Democratic party making politics at every stage of the game in this convention," said Delegate Baker of Wewoka on the convention floor this morning during the discussion of a report on municipal corporations. He was immediately closed up by the organization Democrats. Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 28.—Henceforth everything is to be "railroaded" in the constitutional convention. The delegates have finally awakened to the fact that there are exceedingly slim chances of their getting any more money from the national congress and the majority of them are getting anxious to leave Guthrie and go to their homes. Some of the delegates are becoming financially embarrassed, and of one it is related that he wen home several days ago and sold a span of mules and brought the proceeds back to run him for another week. A clerk in the employ of the convention today was obliged to ask a delegate for a loan of a dollar, stating at the same time that he hadn't yet had his breakfast. "I've got to see if I can't get Bill Murray to give me some more money," he said. He got the dollar. No. 2602.

The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an injurious character, which indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could have been accomplished in any other way The Value and Importance of Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The perfect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. What's the Use? Mark Twain, after a lifetime through which he has cheered and amused his countrymen, seems growing pessimistic in his age. Or is this wall, from the North American Review, merely the record of one of those moments of reaction to which all humorists are subject: "A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle for bread; they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; shames and humiliations bring down their prides and their vanities; those they love are taken from them and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. The burden of pain, care, misery, grows heavier year by year; at length, ambition is dead, pride is defied; vanity is dead;onging for release is in their place. It comes at last—the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them—and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they were a mistake and a failure and a foolishness; where they have left no sign that they have existed—a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever. Then another myriad takes their place, and copies all they did, and goes along the same profitless road, and vanishes as they vanish—to make room for another, and another, and a million other myriads to follow the same arid path through the same desert, and accomplish what the first myriad, and all the myriads that came after it, accomplished—nothing." The Reign of Property. Property, the sense of property, the love of property, the regard for the rights of individual property—all that is undoubtedly the strongest element in our Anglo-Saxon inheritance. The rights of property are better safeguarded by law in the United States than in any other civilized community on the earth. Human life is cheap with us, but property can do almost what it will, regardless of the common good, of life itself. Next to us among civilized nations in regard for property come the English from whom we inherit our reverence for personal possessions. There is a distinction, however, between the English and the American attitude toward property. Here in America we worship money the raw medium of exchange itself that can be counted in figures and put in the bank; we don't say "a man of property" when we refer to a rich man, but we call him a millionaire or a billionaire. We don't think of his houses, his land, his furniture or his pictures, but of his dollars. The English think of all these possessions into which money translates itself. That, says the Saturday Evening Post, is a sign of greater development; we shall come to that idea, are coming to it. Again, in England there is one class that loves property supremely and is identified with it—the upper middle class. In America we all love money, irrespective of class, and speak in terms of money. A London suffragette has christened her baby boy Franchise. Isn't this having revenge on the wrong person? Long Sermons. Mark Twain tells this story, the moral of which you may supply yourself: "I went to church one time and was so impressed by what the preacher told me about the poor heathen that I was ready to give up a hundred dollars of my own money and even go out and borrow more to send to the heathen. But the minister preached too long, and my enthusiasm began to drop about $25 a drop till there was nothing left for the poor heathen, and by the time he was through and the collection was taken up I stole ten cents off the plate."—Southwestern's book. Don't Delay. The season of coughs and colds is not yet past—they will be prevalent for some months to come. Do not neglect or experiment with them. Use the safe and sure remedy—Simmons' Cough Syrup. It heals the soreness and stops the cough. Emigration from Norway. The number of persons who emigrated from Norway in the calendar year 1906 was 28,274, of whom 11,290 sailed from Christiana. In Daily Consular Reports for February 1 the numbers were erroneously placed at 31,158 and 14,174 respectively.

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinat 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. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905."
