D. Nesbit, in Harper's Weekly. A Christmas Bridal BY ETTA W. PIERCE. GIRL stood at the door, with a red shawl pinned across her bosom, and in a shrill voice sang: GIRL stood at the door, with a red shawl plined across her bosom, and in a shrill voice sang: "Carol, brothers, carol; carol joyfully. Carol the good tidings; carol merrily, and pray a gladsome Christmas For all good Christian men. Carol, brothers, carol, Christmas comes again." "In heaven's name, who is that creature?" said Cedric. His easy chair, pushed into the bow window, commanded a view of the garden walk and the singer. His crutch leaned against the wall beside him; his blond head rested languidly upon a crimson silk cushion. "I haven't an idea," I answered, as I put the last touches to the Christmas pine above the high carved mantel. "A tramp, evidently. Do you like the effect of Christmas roses in silver bowls, Cedric? "Arrange your roses in silver bowls, or in iron-bound buckets, just as you like, Beth," answered Cedric, peevishly. "I hate weddings—they are even worse than burials. Cannot you see that you are all riding, roughshod, over my heart? He raised himself on the arm of his chair and looked out at the figure before the door. The bleak December wind was blowing through the girl's thin gown. Her face, which bore traces of beauty, was livid now with cold, and perhaps illness. "She is the image of despair!" he cried. "I feel a fellowship with her! Go, Beth, bring her in—give her meat and drink, and whatever else you may have at your marriage feast." Cedric was the most unreasonable of human beings. I was always afraid of him when he"was in his dark moods. I ran out of the room. But a third person had heard the singer, and, as I reached the hall, lo! there was Jacquita, gliding down the shining, shallow stair—Jacquita, with her dusky hair and creamy skin and great Southern eyes—she whose bridal had filled our old Plymouth house with bustle and expectation. For years we had been classmates in a young ladies' school. She was of the hot South, I of the cold North. Yet we loved each other devotedly. Proud was I when, at the end of our school days, Jacquita came, an honored guest, to the old house overlooking the gray waste of Plymouth Bay—proud was I when all hearts went down before her there, and that gallant sailor, Captain Dacre Holme, hastened to lay himself and his future at her feet; and, alas! sad was I when I found that she had also made wild havoc of my poor crippled Cedric's peace. "That girl looks sick and heartbroken," said Jacquita, as she stepped lightly down into the hall. She flung back the hall door. The eyes of the vagrant fell on her with an expression that I shall never forget. An unspeakable hatred and despair blended in the look. "Here is a Christmas gift for you, poor girl," said Jacquita, and she held out the cold piece. A wicked look flashed into the way; farer's face. She took the money, spat on it, flung it on the ground. Then, seeing my rising wrath, she snatched it again and slipped it into her pocket. "For luck!" she mumbled, in apology for her strange action, and then added, curly, reluctantly, "Thank you, miss." "Have you traveled far?" asked Jacquita. "A good bit," replied the girl. A Happy New Year "And where are you going now?" "To find my man," sullenly. "He promised to marry me, but he went away—he didn't keep his word—I'm looking for him." I led the girl to the kitchen and directed the servants to provide for her needs. I went away soon after to dress Jacquita for her bridal. Guests came trooping in and filled the house. Under an arch of Christmas pine, with the mellow wax lights shining lovingly upon her, Jacquita, in tulle and lace and satin, stood by the side of her bronzed young viking, and took the vows which made her his, and his only, till life should end. Throughout the ceremony Cedric kept his chair and made no sign. She was married—she was Dacre's wife! Then followed a hubbub of congratulations and farewells—a confusion of friendly tongues; and presently Jacquita, in a Paris traveling gown, with soft bands of fur about her throat, and eyes brimming with happiness, came and knelt by Cedric's chair. "Good-by," she said, lifting her beautiful face to his reluctant gaze. "You may kiss me, Cedric, if you like." ```markdown ``` "You belong to Dacre," he answered bitterly. "I do not want to kiss you. Good-by." We saw them enter the carriage together—both young and beautiful and wildly happy. We flung the rice and shoes after them; the horses pranced down the drive; the guests departed, and Cedric and I were left alone. Darkness had fallen. The wind tore wildly up and down the curving Plymouth shore; the bay was white with foam. I turned with a shiver to the leaping wood fire. "What a dreadful night for a wedding journey!" I said. In the red glow of the logs Cedric's face looked like gray stone. "I like storms," he said, savagely. "That pair is too happy to know whether the sun is shining or a norther raging. Beth, sweep those flowers out of the room—their odor stifles them." "Where," he asked, quickly. "is the girl that sang the Christmas carol at the door? Was she warmed and fed, as I directed?" "Yes. Cook set her a good dinner, and when we were rushing about, too busy to notice, she just slipped off, without a word of thanks to anybody. Under her plate, cook found a gold piece." "Why, that must have been the money which Jacquita gave her! How very odd! Evidently the girl had a soul above gold pieces." said Cedric. I drew a stool to Cedric's side, and sat down in the light of the blazing brands. An oppressive hush had fallen on the house. The riot of wind and sea alone disturbed us. Cedric's eyes were fixed on the red core of the fire—his heart, as I well knew, was following after the bridal carriage and its freight of happiness and hope. "She will go with him around the world, Beth?" he graned. "More than once I have heard her say that she was a bad sailor—that she cared nothing for the sea; but her love for Dacre has changed all that. And but for an accident, Beth—a blow from an iron hoof—a mere trifle—I would have won her, in spite of a hundred Dacres—yes, but for that I might have been in his place this night." It was his one bitter, constantly recurring thought. I stroked his white, fevered hand, which he had laid on my shoulder. "By this time they have reached the station, Beth—perhaps they are on the train, whirling farther and farther from us— Listen! There is some one coming up the walk, I say—I hear foot-steps!" It chanced that no one had thought to lock the main door of the house after the departure of our guests. Now we heard it open violently. There was a ```markdown ``` GETTING READY FOR A HOT TIME. FIRE INS. POLICY ACCIDENT POLICY COTTON BATTING MERRY CHRISTMAS rush through the hall. A hand flung aside the curtain at the parlor threshold. Cedric uttered a sharp cry, and made as if to rise from his chair, for there, before our astonished eyes, stood Jacquita, the bride of an hour, her traveling dress all stained and disordered, and powdered with the snow that was beginning to fall, her face like the face of one who had looked on some ghastly thing, and frozen with the horror of it. "In heaven's name, what has happened, Jacquita?" cried Cedric, wildly. She held out her hands; they were red with blood. Her white lips moved; we heard her say: "Down there, at the base of the hill, near the station, in the shadow of the trees, she was waiting for us—the girl who sang the Christmas carol at the door. I saw her by the light of the carriage lamps. Something bright was shining in her hand. She wrenched open the carriage door—she glared in on us. She hurled a terrible accusation at him—at Dacre—my husband. Then she fired, and he fell back dead. Look at my hands! This blood is his! They are bringing him after me—my husband—dead!" A Happy New Year With the last word Jacquita reeled, and fell face downward on the floor. Then love for a moment conquered the infirmity of the flesh, for, regardless of the crutch which had been his constant support for months and years, Cedric leaped from his chair, and with a terrible cry rushed to the widowed bride, and knelt beside her. Two years later, in a terrific winter storm, an English bark was wrecked on a neighboring beach. Several bodies drifted ashore, and among them was a sailor, slender, young, beardless: When found by the patrol a little life still lingered in him. He was carried to the station among the rocks, and every means which surfmen know employed for his resuscitation. Only once, however, did the wild eyes of the boy open, and then they chanced to fall upon Cedric, who had hurried to the scene of the disaster, and was standing GETTING READY with the life savers in the warm, brightly lighted station. What memories did the face of my brother conjure up before this stranger lad? He tried to clutch at Cedric's storm coat. My brother bent down and looked at him. "Great heaven!" he cried. "This is no boy, but the woman who killed Dacre Holm!" At this accusation the young sailor heaved himself up on the supporting arm of a surfman, and in one sudddering scream his soul passed into the night. I stood in the bow window of the parlor, peering out into the darkness, when Cedric returned from the station. The lantern in his hand shone brightly; his erect figure advanced sturdily through the tempest of wind and snow. He had grown hardy and strong in the last year. His crutch was now a thing of the past; of the injury only a slight limp remained. As his familiar halting step reached the door Jacquita sprang up from the hearth, where she had been feeding the fire with dry pine cones, and flew to meet Cedric. For three months she had been his happy wife. "Oh," she cried, in alarm, "how grave ar and strange you look, Cedric! Something has happened." He dashed down the lanten and pressed her to his heart with passionate tenderness. "Tell me," he said, huskily, "do you love me, Jaquita? Does the past seem to you like a nightmare dream?" "Yes," she faltered; "oh, yes, yes!" "Then you shall know the truth. That girl is lying dead at the station. She came ashore from a wreck, disguised as a sailor. Don't tremble, darling—you must forget that portion of your life altogether. You are mine, now—mine! and I mean to love and cherish you till the end of my days."—People's Home Journal.

Professor Goldwin Smith, the distin- guished writer on history and govern- ment, has made two recommendations to labor unions. One ts that strikes should be voted by ballot, the other, that each married man should have two votes. ‘The second suggestion may not be compatible with established principles of suffrage, but it recognizes that It 1s the family at home which loses or benefits by the strike, and that the case of the married man is there- fore twice as important as that of the single man. He who says “I will!” over and over to himself and tries and who keeps on saying and trying is bound to win, whether he be only 18 years of age or 80.

We have made very great progress 4m the building up of our navy and have just reason for pride in what has been accomplished. We have reached third rank in the number of ships and tonnage and within the next few years will probable be in second place. But it appears that In some respects we have not been as careful in providing for the efficiency of the naval estab- Ushment as we should have been. “There is a lack of qualified officers for the ships that are going into commis- fion and there is not an oversupply of seamen. In short, the existing condi- tions suggest that in the event of war the navy would be found so defictent in vital respects that only a part of It ‘would be available. By the decision of a Pennsylvania eourt, the law of that State designed to prevent the employment of boys un- Ger sixteen years old in the mines has Decome more drastic than its framers intended. The statute provides that 4f 8 boy under sixteen could secure a certificate from a public school teach- ‘er setting forth that he had received fostraction in reading, writing, spell- ing, English grammar and geography, and was familiar with the funda mental operations of arithmetic, in cluding fractions, he might be employ- ed. ‘The court has decided that this part of the law is invalid, as it in troduces # discrimination in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which forbids any State to “make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or tmmunities of citi zens of the United States.” ‘The stat- ute abridges the rights of the boys who cannot secure the required certif- cate. The effect of the decision, until it Is overruled, is to prevent the em- ployment in the mines of any boy un- der sixteen years old. Whether the decision stands or not, those who be- Ueve in the protection of the young hold that no boy should be sent to work underground at an age when such work will prevent his proper phy- sical development. ‘This will be an editorial about real and unreal things. We live in a rea world. ‘The ground under our feet trees, flowers, men, women—every. thing we see is real. To be sure there are real things that are unseen, but the things that are seen are by no means unreal. They are evident. They are tangible. There are some people who lve, move and have thelr beng in unreality. They feed on fancies. ‘Their ways of life are artificial. They hold to unreal beliefs. They hope for unreal happiness. The genuine offends them. They prefer unreal books. ‘They lke unreal plays, Thetr woes ere largely unreal. And even thelr Joys are affected. Now there Is a great charm in the real. The made can never vie with the natural. Take book, for example. The writer who can tell us truly about commonplace things—humdrum life—will write a book that is worth while, Indeed he who can cut out and frame for us a section of lite—any life—ts a master. That 1s what Dickens did and Hugo and Tolstol and Balzac. Of all the people in this world Americans ought to be a real people. We do things. We make things. We move things. But many of our books and plays and pictures and poems are way out o? touch with our real lives, They hark back too much, Note the magazine articles, Aside from a very few real touches, what a miss the writers make! The stuff Incks red blood And the stage. Aside from a very few pictures of American life, what a sham most of it is. And our artists give us “impressionist” plotures— imaginary pletures on a real canvas. Is it strange that with all the unreal influences about us we should be led into unreal thinking, feeling and do- Ing? Is it strange we should drift into a sham standard of morals? In- stead of the ten commandments we are learning only one—don't gat caught. Instead of straight up and down morale we have “business eth- fee.” Stealing we call “graft” and wink the other eye. We have an un- real standard of success—money. Our unreal idea of happiness 1s to get wenith and leisure. Instead of char- acter we try for reputation. And so on. Dark picture? Isn't it true— speaking of tendencies And it wouid be dark indeed if the plain peoplo— the core of our soclety—were not sound. Blessed are those who sike Theodore Thomas give thelr lives to] teaching us what 1s real music. And the James Whitcomb Rileys who give us real literature. And the Pastor Wagners who tell us about the real- ity of life. Blessed are all those in every place who teach the sane, the simple, the natural life, and make ue yearn .or it. Because the simple life is the genuine life—nothing more, nothing less. To live that lite seems easy. But try tt, Your trial will show you what a hold the artificial—the iml- ration—Iife bas upon you. So far have many of us strayed from naturalness Hhat it requires the highest sort of art fo appear natural, The simple life 1s | the only life worth the living, Simple | ‘00d, simple clothing, simple desires— what a revolution they would work. imple trust, simple joys—what more real?

Let's get down to he eternal verity of things—the sim. nicity of it, the satisfaction of tt, the xample of it, the manliness of it, the vomanliness of it. That Pastor Wag- 1er’s simple proposal to go back to eal things should have created such . stir is ample proof as to how far and ridely we have wandered from the A Lesson on Fractions.

And this youngster of ours may be wise enongh to glimpse the fact which has eluded most of his perplex ed elders busy with making mor: “rales,” that the problem of keeping football clean in school and college rests not so much with the player a ‘with the game Itself. In other words, a pastime which {1 #0 hard to play well. which contains s¢ few of the essential elements of sport and which cannot find its raw ina terlal among thousands of willing young men within its bounds, {s cer tain to breed perverted ideas of the spirit and object of normally condact ed athletics for the benefit of the greatest possible number. “Profes sionalism” in football would be short of {ts temptations to “win at any cost’ if the game were such as the averag student could learn to play well an ‘enjoy.—Century. AS A BOY IN GERMANY. Incidents of Youthful Roosevelt's Stay tm Fatherland Years Ago. When in the summer of 1873 the Roosevelt children were introduced to the Minkwitz family they had never spoken German and conditions in Ger- many were altogether new to them. ‘Nevertheless, they soon adapted them- ‘selves to their new environment, espe- cially Theodore, who showed remark- able ability. A few days after his ar- rival Miss Minkwitz’s brother cane home from the University of Lelpsic, at which he was studying, according to Louis Viereck in Success magazine, and told the company a German stu- dents’ joke, Everybody knows how deep these are. This joke must have been particularly good, for every ono laughed, most of all Teddy. Fraulein Minkwitz was greatly surprised at this and asked him how he could un- derstand it at all. Thereupon Teddy proceeded to repeat the whole story to her in English in a way which proved beyond doubt that he saw the point. “He seemed to pick up things—one didn’t know how,” she said. At that time Frau Kat had in her service a good old servant girl named Emily, who had an admirer by the name of Oharles, a fact which had escaped the Minkwitz family's atten- tion altogether, although the girl had stayed with them for some years. Theodore had been in the house bat a few days when one morning he cre- ated a sensation by saying: “Emilie, {ch bin Karl; ich Mebe du!” (“Emily, I am Karl; I love thee!”) He was passionately fond of books on natural science, especially of Brehm's “Thierleben,” which he stud- jed eagerly. One day he got it into his head that he must have a rat, a mole or a hamster. When he asked Miss Minkwitz where he could get ona she told him that she didn't know. ‘The lad then began to Investigate for himself and finally came back from the city swinging in triumph, like a trophy, a dead mole and a dead German marmot. He had discovered a man who had white mice for sale and from him he procured what he wanted. He next went to work to strip the animals of their skins in the kitchen and pre- pared to boll them in one of Frag Minkwitz’a saucepans. But here the good old Frau Rat interfered. He therefore went to the back yard, built himself a little oven from bricks, skinned the animals, and, after having polled them, pPepared them carefully, putting together skillfully all the parts of the skeleton.

It has been a rather good year, taken all in all, for the country, for the Pacific Northwest, for Oregon and for Portland. Products while in some cases lighter than usual, were on the whole heavy and profitable. Business, with most people, has been good. The Lewis and Clark Fair was a success and attracted a great deal of favorable attention to Oregon. More immigrants have come to this country than in any previous year, and the prospect is that a far larger number will come next year. The railroads have begun to get busy in the Pacific Northwest, and in Oregon in particular, and are doing more than all other influences and potentialities combined to bring on an era of rapid development of Oregon's resources. This is especially true of the "Hill roads," the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, the former of which is building as rapidly as possible down the north bank of the Columbia and across the peninsula and the Willamette river to Portland. Mr. Harriman has been waked up or smoked out, and is building to Lewiston, into Wallowa county, over to Coos Bay, and has planned a road across the Cascades into Eastern Oregon. Mr. Lytle is going ahead with his road to Tillamook. All these enterprises mean a tremendous difference between the Oregon of even the recent past and the Oregon of the comparatively near future. This state and city are going to develop henceforth very rapidly and as never before, owing chiefly to these events of the good year 1905. The prospect is now fair for considerable appropriations for the mouth of the Columbia and the Celilo canal, and good progress will be made on those projects within the next year or two, so that ships of heavy tonnage and deep draft can meet trains here, and boats can traverse the river eastward into the heart of the Inland Empire. While the canal is building the portage railroad will serve to keep freights down and make the farmers more prosperous. In the country at large the crops were the largest and brought the greatest returns in its history. The people were never so prosperous. The government is, generally speaking, in good, safe hands. The usual list of calamities have occurred, of course, but neither country, state nor city has on the whole ever seen a better year. With next Sunday this good year ends and Monday a new and possibly an even better one begins. The New Age sincerely congratulates and rejoices with all its patrons who have shared in the general prosperity of 1905; It sympathizes with any who have suffered loss or affliction, and it wishes them all a Happy New Year and plenty of success and prosperity during the year soon to begin. THE SENATORSHIP. Who will be the Republican candidates for senator? Will there be more than one in Multnomah county? If so, will either, as against one or more outside candidates, stand a good chance of the plurality nomination? Even if not, and there should be but one outside opponent, might not the rest of the state vote so heavily against the Multnomah man that he would be beaten? And finally, will the legislature elect the man nominated, anyway? These are questions that are agitating the politicians, although nobody has as yet made a formal announcement of his candidacy for the senate. If there is an Eastern Oregon man who intends to be a candidate, as probably there is, he is very likely waiting to see if Multno- mah will have more than one candidate, and further, to see if Western or Southern Oregon has one. So with any one in the latter portions of the state who might like to make the race. Under the new law it is not a very easy thing to be elected senator, or even to get the nomination. A man must "come out" into the open for it, and to have much of a chance for success must travel about a good deal and see a great many people, at heavy expense. And even if at much labor and cost he wins the nomination in April, he will be in suspense till the next winter before he knows whether he will be elected or not. So it is not strange that men who would like to be senator are hesitating about announcing their candidacy. Only one thing is sure, whoever is elected will be a comparatively new man in politics. Senator Mitchell is gone. Representatives Hermann and Williamson are, of course, out of the limits of consideration. Geer has decided to run for governor. None of the state officers are supposed to intend to try for a senatorial seat. Ex-Representative Moody has said that he will not seek to go back to congress. Ex-Representative Ellis probably indulges in no senatorial illusions Postmaster Minto is satisfied with his job and could not go into politics. Brownell is unthinkable. Where are any other past leaders who would and could try with any chance of success? Yes, it is a good time for a new, strong, capable, trustworthy man to get into the arena if he would like to be senator and try what he can do. SMALL BARKING It is amusing and even astonishing to notice how many country papers and some little people take every possible occasion to find fault with and censure unreasonably the Oregonian and its editor-in-chief. Perfectly proper, true, and even good-natured remarks of that great newspaper are distorted into expressions of malevolent ill-will, and broad-minded and clear-headed criticisms of sham, hypocryacy, cant, subterfuge and sophistry are made the basis of vulgar and virulent attacks. The simple fact is that while in matters political the Oregonian may sometimes show inconsistency, and on occasions bias—and where is the daily newspaper that does not?—it is, as it has always been, the most courageous as well as the ablest exponent of truth in regard to all sorts of things and thoughts and projects, propagandas and "waves," and movements and trends in this part of the country, if not in the whole country. For instance, because the Oregonian commended the good work of a fruit inspector and some fruitraisers in one county to the attention and imitation of those of another county, a paper of the latter county accuses the Oregonian of spite and malice and misrepresentation. Or again, if with unanswerable logic and reason the Oregonian exposes the shallow sophistry and flatulent ignorance of some seventeenth-rate pulpiteer, he generally responds not with anything in real support of his nonsensical theories or his theological balderdash, but with a labored screed vulgarly vituperative of the Oregonian, whose editor knows more than a thousand like him rolled into one could learn in a thousand years. But the great newspaper pursues the even tenor of its high, broad way, and if not always absolutely right on every proposition, is a great instructor and illuminator within its field, as it has been for half a century. JUDGE SEARS Judge Sears' serious and prolonged illness renders it probable that some one else will have to be chosen in his place next spring, though most people will do so with regret, for Judge Sears is very highly esteemed, not only by the members of the bar, but by the people generally, who recognize in him not only an able but an extremely upright, just and conscientious judge. It is yet to be hoped that he will recover his health and become able to serve another term, but if not there will be various candidates for the seat he has so long and acceptably occupied. It is a position requiring ability and character of a high order, and some names are being suggested that it seems would do very well, and some others that do not sound quite so well in this connection. The situation is rather a delicate one for aspirants, until it is definitely known whether Judge Sears has decided that he must decline a renomination. COURTSHIP IN WIGWAN How the Canadian Indian Woman Sweetheart. As there are no cozy corner wigwam, it is the Saulteaux x for a maiden to converse with her or under cover of a blanket, screens the young lovers from the of the other occupants of the But old Noo-koom, The Knowlown was well able to judge from the Various comments are made by the statepress upon Mr. Jonathan Bourne's circular letter to all the state news papers in support of the direct primary law. Some of them publish it in full, others in part, while others only allude to it—some sarcastically—and one editor "drops into rhyme" over it. It is generally understood that Mr. Bourne is a candidate for United States senator, though he has made no formal announcement of that fact yet, and this letter is supposed to be a sort of introductory hint. But Mr. Bourne himself needs no introduction to most of the local political leaders of Oregon, for he has been "among 'em takin' notes" on various former occasions, and whatever the outcome, won't be napping next spring. The colored students at Howard university, in Washington, D. C., who "struck" some days ago because they were snubbed and treated scornfully by the president of that institution, have won their point, and he was compelled to resign. A large majority of the students there are colored, and that their grievance against the president was well founded is shown by the result. Several comparatively new names are being whispered as possible candidates for United States senator. Besides T. B. Wilcox, County Judge Webster and Jonathan Bourne, who have been more or less "mentioned" for some time, somebody has suggested F. W. Mulkey, though whether this is considered a joke or not some people are in doubt. Nearly all the candidates who have announced their platforms very nearly agree on all points, so if we are to go by the platforms it makes no difference who is elected. Unless he changes his mind, which is not likely, Hon. M. A. Moody will not be a candidate for either house of congress, as The New Age announced months ago. The Salem Journal is still touting lustily for Mr. Tooze, but most other Republican papers of the First district are busy sawing their winter's wood. Auditor Brandes was wise not to try to contest the county clerkship with Clerk Fields, who doubtless has a cinch on that office for another term. But if whole "slathers" of Republicans hadn't voted for Word and Lane they wouldn't have been elected. After New Year's the political pot will begin to bubble more actively and noisily. Who is going to run against Sheriff Word? And is he going to run? Would-be candidates are beginning to peep out of their shells. It seems there are no Democrats in office in Oregon after all. The Bruin farce might as well be dropped. The Dems are at outs, as usual. Strike Against Sugar Tax. San Domingo, Republic of Santo Domingo, Dec. 26.—The government has ordered the enforcement of taxation on the sugar produced in 1904, and has declared that shipments will be prohibited unless this tax is paid. The planters, however, refuse to pay, basing their refusal on certain government decrees and on contracts entered into with them, by which the sugar industry was to be freed from all taxation for a period of 20 years. As a result of this situation, the plantations may cease cultivation. Alfonso Betrothed at Last Paris, Dec. 26 —The Figaro this morning declares that a definite agreement has been reached between the British and Spanish governments regarding the betrothal of King Alfonso and Princess Ena of Battenberg, but that the official announcement will not be made for several weeks. How the Canadian Indian Woes His Sweetheart. As there are no cozy corners in a wigwam, it is the Saulteaux custom for a malden to converse with her suitor under cover of a blanket, which screens the young lovers from the gaze of the other occupants of the lodge. But old Noo-koom, The Knowing One, was well able to judge from the general contour of the blanket just how the courtship was progressing. Early in the evening the blanket always hung in a dignified way, as though draped over two posts set a little apart. Later, however, the posts often lost their balance and swayed about in such a manner as to come dangerously near collision; and, if Noo-koom did not cough or poke the fire, the blanket would sometimes show that one support had given way. One night, when Noo-koom woke up from a nap, she found that both the supports of the blanket were in immediate danger of collapsing. Selizing the hindquarters of a frozen fox by the ankles, she leaped up and belabored the blanket so severely that it lost no time in recovering its proper form. In a few days Noo-koom became convinced that the lovers had "sat under the blanket"—or been engaged—long enough. Now they must "sit to gether upon the brush"—or be married. Accordingly, she talked the matter over with Standing Wolf and his wife, Ko-ko-kay. They agreed with the old woman. Ko-ko-kay called Mi-na-ce in and told her that At-tick was a good boy, that he would certainly make a good hunter, and that, if she would "sit upon the brush with him," they would give her plenty of marrow grease for her hair and some porcupine quills for her moccasins. They might even buy her some ribbon, beads and silk thread for fancy work. Furthermore, her father would help At-tick to secure enough skins to make a lodge covering. Mi-na-ce chewed meditatively upon the large piece of spruce gum in her mouth while she listened with averted eyes and drooping head. Noo-koom, supposing the child to be in doubt, interposed. "You must sit upon the brush with him, because I have promised that you would. Did we not eat the fat and the blood, and use the firewood he left at our door?" The remembrance of all that dainty eating decided the child, and she gave her word that she would sit upon the brush with At-tick, if they would promise to buy her a bottle of perfume when the "fur runners" came from Fort Determination. — Metropolitan Magazine. THE FAMILY DOCTOR Carelessness in Handling Medicines. —Patients have frequently placed a bottle of medicine to their lips and taken a draught of its contents in a dark room, under the impression that there was "only one bottle upon that shelf," when in reality some other member of the family had placed other bottles there. In other instances a wife rising in the night to give some medicine to her husband or child has picked up the wrong bottle in the dim light and administered a fatal dose. Pneumonia.—The prevalence with which this most deadly virulent bacterial disease shall attain, will depend chiefly upon the kind of care people take of themselves. Those who strive to keep in good general health need have little fear of it. Drunkenness is foremost among the habits of mankind that aid in the propagation of pneumonia. Over-eating is another form of intemperance which makes people fall its easy victims. Failure to bathe frequently and breathing through the mouth increases the liability of contracting the disease. Overheated houses are the cause of many cases. If the rule were generally adopted of never letting the temperature of the house or office exceed 70 degrees much less pneumonia would result. Smallpox.—This loathsome disease often makes its appearance with cold weather. The following is said to be a cure: One grain solid extract of digitalis, one grain sulphate of zinc, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, four ounces of water. Dissolve the digitalis and the zinc separately, then compound the prescription. It is of the utmost importance that the solid extract of digitalis be used. Some drugists say there is no such thing and use the liquid, but this is valueless. The liquid does not produce the results. The dose is one teaspoonful every hour for twelve consecutive hours, for adults; for a child under ten one-half teaspoonful hourly for twelve hours and for an infant ten drops every hour for the twelve hours. The face may be bathed with it thus preventing scars. The digitalis kills the germ of the disease and the zinc purifies the blood. The preparation must be taken with care, as it is very powerful.

Mrs. Maggie Keeble is spending the holidays in San Francisco, the guest of Mrs. George W. Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. Reed entertained a few friends in honor of their first anniversary Wednesday evening. Mrs. Ruby White is so far recovered from her recent illness as to be able to be out on the streets again. Dr. Wm. M. Wallace leaves on December 31 to be present at the examination of physicians which takes place on January 2, 1906, at 9 a.m. There will be union services at the A. M. E. Zion church on this Sunday evening. The watch service will commence at 10 o'clock sharp. The choir will render special music. Mrs. Amanda Palmer, of Omaha, Neb., is expected in the city the first of next week to permanently reside. She has bought a handsome piece of property, valued at $2,000. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wheeler gave a dinner Wednesday evening to a few friends. The decorations were violets. Each lady and gentleman was presented with a bunch of violets and a bottle of champagne. Mrs. Anna Williams, mother of Mrs. Lulu Easton, is a very sick woman. The doctor gives no hope of her recovery. Mrs. Easton has the sympathy of her host of friends in this city. The Emancipation Proclamation Celebration will be held at the Zlon church on Monday evening, January 1, at 8:30 p. m. Rabbi Steven S. Wise, of this city, will deliver the special address of the evening. There will also be a special musical program of ten numbers. The Masons of Enterprise Lodge of this city held a public installation of officers, and afterward gave a reception to their friends. It has been many years since we have seen such a large crowd of our very best people in attendance at anything. Alisky's hall was filled comfortably. The Masons first marched into the hall. Hodgson's orchestra played several fine marches, then each officer was installed, after which a short program was rendered. J. W. Payne sang a good solo, "The Stars and Stripes"; G. N. White's instrumental solo was also well rendered, and Messrs. Kenny's and Logan's addresses were good. Wonder who attended the ball given on Christmas night at Union hall? Guess some of our busy men will finally see that it does not pay near so well to try to run a bar at a ball and not pay license for so doing as to pay for it. One is in money by not having a bar at a ball. Bars at balls always give one the opinion that it is not a very respectable place to attend. Take the writer's advice and do away with these bars at your entertainments and you will see your places of amusement better attended, and a much better class of people will patronize you, and the patrol wagon won't take so much of your profit—and folks away from the affair. More anon. OUR CHICAGO LETTER Mr. Atwood, of East Saginaw, Mich., is in the city on a visit. Mr. Ernest Wallace, a colored man, has been arrested for wife abandonment. Mr. Chas. Davis, at 2714 Dearborn street, a colored man, was fined $200 for striking his wife by Justice Cavarly and sent to the house of correction. Mr. John Jennings' saloon, on State street, near 29th, has been raided several times by police on charge of gambling. Judge J. B. Bradwell, an old staunch friend of the colored people in this city, is sick at his home, 1428 Michigan avenue. The St. Stevens A. M. E. church on the west side has a membership of 600. Rev. S. A. Brooks is the pastor. Valuation of church property is $25,000. Debt on church is $5,000. Mayor Dunne and Chief John M. Collins have appointed Mr. Wilson Jones and Mr. Hall, two colored police officers in Chicago, as detective sergeants and assigned them to the central station. Both have splendid records and are regarded as among the best officers in the city. The National Colored Historical association of the United States is in session in this city. They have passed a series of resolutions condemning and denouncing all Masonic work done by Milton F. Fields, of St. Louis, Mo., in the Scottish Rite and Mystic Shrine to be spurious and bogus work and they warn all the colored Masons throughout the country to have nothing whatever to do with him. Mrs. J. H. Johnson, 358 East 27th street, gave a luncheon last week. Among those who were present were Mrs. S. B. Samuels, Mrs. Gertrude Riley, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Young, Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Davis, Miss Estella Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Campbell, Mrs. Elizabeth Harper. This was an enjoyable and delightful gathering and everybody present had a delightful time. It is reported upon good authority that when colored men in this city were employed by several large corporations during the great labor strike recently, that Richard E. Moore and J. W. Moore, employed by the American Express Company in this city, and M. F. Coley, another colored man, acted secretly for the white labor organizations in furnishing the white labor organizations information concerning the employment of colored men. Nothing more could be expected from such miserable informers, as they always seem ready and willing to do anything to make a dollar. The colored people in this city should lose no time in trying to drive these miserable individuals from the state. At the annual election held at the Grand Commandry of Knights Templar of the state of Illinois in Chicago last week. ten subordinate commandries were represented. After transacting much important business the following grand officers were elected: Sir John G. Jones, Chicago, R. E. Grand Commander; Sir T. D. McFarland, Deputy Grand Commander; Sir S. Clay, Generalisimo; Sir S. H. Prather, Grand Captain-General; Sir H. T. Freeman, Senior Grand Warden; T. T. Webster Brown, Junior Grand Warden; Sir A. W. Ford, Grand Recorder; Sir F. A. Campbell, Grand Treasurer; Sir Henry Raglan, Grand Warden; Sir E. A. Harper, Grand Standard Bearer; Sir Austin Campbell, Grand Sentinel. PLATFORM OF MR. TOOZE Congressional Candidate Makes a Clear Statement of His Position and Alms (Albany Herald, Daily.) Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Woodburn, candidate for congressman in the First district, has announced his platform, on which he will make the race for the nomination, in the following clear-cut statement: "It is unnecessary for a lifelong Republican who has always supported the principles and nominees of the Republican party to do more than reaffirm his belief in sound finance, the doctrine of protection, and other cardinal principles of Republicanism. However, there are some questions to which a candidate for congress should give special attention. "I recognize the vital importance and great necessity for deepening the channel of the Columbia river and the improvement of its harbor, so that its ports shall possess the same commercial advantages as are now enjoyed by Puget Sound cities. The same class M. B. WALTER L. TOOZE of vessels should be able to ship cargoes from Portland that now enter Seattle and Tacoma. I would firmly stand for the necessary federal appropriation for the accomplishment of this great undertaking and for the early completion of the Celilo canal. "As congressman from the First district, I would also deem it my duty to secure appropriations for a deep-sea harbor at Coos Bay which shall be second to none in the Pacific Coast, and for the further improvement of Yaquina Bay and the other West Coast harbors. Every one of them is vitally important to the people of the rich and productive territory tributary to them. The opening of these harbors will benefit the producers of the interior by affording them competitive markets for their produce. "The farmers of the Willamette valley are paying a yearly tribute of more than $100,000 as lockage charges at Oregon City. This obstruction to the free commerce of a national highway should be removed without further delay. Therefore, the purchase of the Oregon City locks by the government is a matter of great importance, and my best energies would be devoted to secure this necessary legislation demanded by the people of the state. "Oregon has need of large numbers of the better class of immigrants, but, for the direct protection of the laborers of our country, I am unalterably opposed to the influx of Chinese and Japanese coolie laborers into this country, and I would favor the most stringent laws to secure their total exclusion, and to protect American labor, both organized and unorganized, from any degrading competition whatsoever. Every dollar paid to an American laborer is expended at home and remains in circulation among our people. Of every dollar paid to the Chinese and Japanese laborers, more than 75 per cent is exported to Asia and is lost to the commercial lifeblood of our citizens. "I favor giving the interstate com- merce commission power to remedy any existing abuses and injustices in freight rates to shippers growing out of discriminations and rebates. All public officials should be prohibited by law, both state and national, from receiving or using passes, franks or free transportation. "The free rural delivery carriers of our country do not now receive salaries commensurate with the arduous and responsible duties performed by them. I would stand firmly for the enactment of the Fairbanks bill, which is desired by and has the endorsement of the National Rural Letter Carriers' association. It is my judgment that further relief should be given rural carriers by granting to them an allowance of $250 per annum for horse hire, which will place them on an equal basis with mounted letter carriers in the large cities of the United States.

Her tales Dansk, Svensk og "I am strongly in favor of the enactment of such laws as would give to the railroad employees of this country adequate protection to their lives while engaged in this hazardous occupation, and to limit their hours of labor while engaged in such service. "I believe in the payment of liberal pensions to American soldiers and sailors, and the enactment of such laws as will grant to the Indian war veterans the same pensions and public land rights now accorded by law to Civil war veterans. "I stand for the enactment of laws that shall afford national aid to the improvement of our public highways. "The irrigation projects of this district and of Eastern Oregon demand and deserve especial consideration and support. Their prompt and successful completion means the addition of untold wealth to our people, and the rapid development of a large area of the state now unproductive. My efforts would be fearless in my advocacy of the necessity for generous aid from the government. "All the provisions of the direct primary law will receive my support. "The people of Oregon should receive a larger share of the contracts for furnishing the government with supplies, a business that has been almost monopolized by Puget Sound cities, to the exclusion of Oregon producers and Portland merchants. If nominated and elected I shall keep this constantly in view. "My position on all matters affecting the industrial and commercial interests of the state embrace an active, aggressive and unwavering desire to serve faithfully and efficiently all sections of the state, and to aid to the fullest extent of my powers in the promotion of our enormous undeveloped resources throughout the state of Oregon.

Heyburn Loaded for Bear, Washington, Dec. 25. — When the senate reconvenes after the holidays, Senator Heyburn intends to make a speech on his forest reserve bills. He will air his difference with the president and Gifford Pinchot, and urge curtailment of the president's power to create reserves. His bill has not been reported. A severe arraignment of the administration is expected. The senator will also speak in advocacy of his national board of corporations bill. Martial Law for Poland.

Heaven is going to be a hot place for some cold-blooded people. A man does not escape his own business by electing himself a boss. Some men would forget there was a God if they never had any trouble. The great question is not whether you are having peace, but whether you are making progress. The happy life is simply the one that has cultivated the habit of looking for happiness in all things. NAVIES OF THE OLDEN TIME. Precursors of Modern Guns a Queen sort of Weapon. Strange to modern eyes would be the armament of Great Britain's mediolaval navy. The very names of many of the implements of attack and defense sound queer. According to the books, in 1337, the vessels of the navy were furnished with "espringgolds," ancient spring guns; "haubergeons," coats of mall; "basnets," small helmets; bows, arrows, doublets, targets; "pavises," large shields placed at the sides and serving the double purpose of protection against the sea and against the enemy; lances and "diring barrels." As early as 1338 cannon formed part of the armament of ships and about 1872 guns and gunpowder were commonly used. Among the stores belonging to one vessel of that time were three iron cannon, with five chambers, a hand gun and three old stone bags, probably for shot. Another ship had an iron cannon with two chambers and one brass cannon with one chamber. Among other implements of war used at that time were "cannon pavilors," or stone shot throwers, and "murherers," which were smaller and threw any kind of shot. There were also "basilisks," "port pieces," "stock fowlers," "sakers" and "bombards." The bombards were of hammered iron, made of bars welded and bound together with iron bands. They threw stone shot weighing between 140 and 195 pounds. A battery of these erected on a slip of land at the naval battle of Chlogga (1380) between the Venetians and the Genoese did great damage. They were loaded over night and were fired in the morning. Froissart tells of a bombard used at one of these ancient sieges that "might be heard five leagues off in the daytime and ten at night. The report of it was so loud that it seemed as if all the devils in hell had broken loose." Brass ordinance was first cast in England in 1535. The pieces had various names. Many of different caliber were mounted on the same deck, which must have caused great confusion in action in finding for each its proper shot. At a Bad Time. "This insurance investigation is a bad thing and it comes at a peculiarly bad time." "How so?" "Why, we were so much improved by the way our free cafe was managed that we had just determined to open up a free automobile garage."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Where Metal Does Not Rust. Metal does not rust in Lake Titicaca, South America. A chain, an anchor, or any article of iron, if thrown in this lake, and allowed to remain for weeks or months, is as bright when taken up as when it came fresh from the foundry. Chances for Courtesy.

The use of the motor to compress air may give a cold storage room for every man's house. Domestic motors have been greatly cheapened and electric lighting companies are profiting by selling current for day use at reduced price. At a recent meeting of the Torrey Botanical Club in New York, Dr. C. S. Gager reported the results of experiments with the action of radium on growing seeds. It was found that the rays act as a stimulus, varying in intensity with their strength as well as with the thickness of the seed coats and the amount of intervening moist soil. If the stimulus is not pushed beyond a certain limit, germination and subsequent growth are accelerated. Above that limit the results are unfavorable. The growth of plants is retarded, and may be stopped, by placing them in an atmosphere containing the emanation of radium, such as may be drawn from a cylinder lined with Lleber's coating. Ingenuity was manifested to a notable degree in Spain and France at the time of the solar eclipse of Aug. 30. The shop windows in Madrid, Paris and other towns were filled with a great variety of devices for viewing the passage of the moon across the sun's disk without danger to the observer's eyes. There were black glass spectacles, black glass monocles, black glasses set in pasteboard handles of 20 different forms, and also devices for viewing the phenomenon by reflection. But the people made many contrivances of their own, such as pinholes through paper, or through the tops of Derby hats. Some viewed the eclipse in the streets or on the roofs by reflection from pails or pans of water to reduce the glare, and some saw it through cambric handkerchiefs or thin umbrella tops. The book shops abounded with paper-bound treatises on eclipses. Alrship travel seems to be already popular. W. de Fonvielle estimates that seven or eight hundred balloon voyages are now made annually, and states that the members of the French Aero Club alone made more than two hundred last year. The forms and colors of the clouds, the brightness and the new views of the earth give a wonderful charm to sky automobiling. This is increased at night, and Camille Flammarion, whose wedding trip was made in a balloon, has expressed his surprise at the splendor of the lights of a great city—in this case Paris—as well as at the brilliance of the constellations. The number of the stars is unbelievable, the dog star becomes as bright as Venus, while some of the nebulae appear like gas jets. The shooting stars are terrifying. Their explosions seem to be heard, and this may be really true, as the balloon acts like a gigantic ear trumpet, and catches such earthly sounds as the whistling of locomotives and barking of dogs. Hygienically the complete renewal of the air in the lungs is a delightful sensation. SHOOTS RATS FOR A LIVING. Hunter Stalks His Quarry and Is Unerring in His Aim. There is a rat catcher who visitis Baltimore periodically to rid hotels, among other places, of the rodent pests. Among the hotels he has two regular customers and his advent is always the signal for the pleasures of the chase in a small way. This rat catcher is not a piper of Pan. He has no method of charming rats, but goes after them just as any hunter in the big woods would stalk his game. He does not sit down in front of a rat hole and tease the rodents forth with the sweet strains on a tin flute. Instead he carries a small air rifle, and it does the work. He makes straight for the basement, kitchen, baggage-room and open plumbing, where rat holes will be found if they are anywhere. Having located his rat hole, which he seems to accomplish almost by instinct, he listens at the opening until his keen ear detects a scratching or a squeak. He unerringly locates his quarry by this sound, inserts his rifle at just the right angle and fires. If he misses—but what's the use—he doesn't. He hits his man every time. Then, with a long, hooked wire he probes into the hole and draws his victim out. Now and then he strikes a nest of young. In such cases it is usually an easy matter to hook nest and all and drag the pests from their palatial residence. His is a peculiar calling, but has its uses. And it's better than killing rats with poison and having them die within the walls.—Baltimore News. By Way of Excuse. Crawford—What makes that Senator so dishonest?

RHEUMATISM BODY RACKED WITH PAIN No other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheumatism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become intrenched in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not affected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting, the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing off through nature's avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, and other acrid poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect with health-giving properties, it fills them with the acids and salts of this painful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always intensify the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments. oils, lotions, etc., or uses plasters and other home remedies. These are desirable because they give temporary ease and comfort but have no effect on the real trouble which is in the blood and beyond the reach of such treatment. S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA Lincoln the Farmer. Matters soon reached a crisis which drove the junior partner into the fields again, where he undertook all sorts of rough farm labor, from splitting rails to plowing. As a man-of-all work, however, Lincoln did not prove altogether satisfactory to his employers. He was too fond of mounting stumps in the field and "practicing polemics" on the other farm hands, and there was something uncomfortable about a plow man who read as he followed the team, no matter how straight his furrows ran. Such practices were irritating, if not presumptuous, and there is a well known story about a farmer who found "the hired man" lying in a field beside the road, dressed in his not too immaculate farm clothes, with a book instead of a pitchfork in his hand. "What are you reading?" inquired the old gentleman. "I'm not reading; I'm studying," answered Lincoln his wonderful eyes still on the pages of his book. "Studying what?" "Law sir." The old man stared at the speaker for a moment in utter amazement. "Great—God—Almighty!" he muttered as he passed on shaking his head. —From Frederick Trevor Hill's "Lincoln the Lawyer" in the January Century. Exception. The wandering minstrel man stepped off the accommodation and accosted the oldest inhabitant, who was sitting on a nail keg chewing a piece of sassafras bark. "Guess every one is acquainted in this town," ventured the minstrel man. "Reckon they be," drawned the old man, "seeing that there ain't so many of us." "And gossips! I dare say they are plentiful?" "Everybody in town is a gossip but old Dan." "Ah, I admire Dan. I bet he is concientious. Now, isn't that why he doesn't gossip?" "No, stranger; Dan don't gossip because he is dead.

It matters not in what form the disease may be the cause is always the same—a sour, acid condition of the blood.

THE SW Past Resuscitation. In the days of the first settlers in the Chickasaw country, when Davy Crockett still frequented the Big Hatchle "Old Man Giddins" was a prosperous citizen of the Forked Deer settlement One day he started on a trip to Arkansas, and thenceforth for several years Forked Deer knew him no more. As travel in Arkansas was dangerous, and as nothing was heard of Giddins, he was officially declared dead by the court, and his estate divided among his heirs. A year or so later, however, he turned up, and tried to get possession of his property again. He was promptly seized and taken into court. "What do you mean by coming round here, trying to take this property?" roared the court at him. "It's my property," asserted Giddins. "Everybody knows it's mine." "Not at all!" replied the judge. "I'll admit your case seems a hard one, but it can't be helped now. This court has decided that you are extinct defunctus, which is Latin for dead. This court cannot err. Dead you are. If you want any property round here you must take another name and set to work to earn it. Mr. Sheriff, adjourn this court, and we will all go and see that wrestling match you spoke of." A Little More Credible. A man who had been shooting on Cape Cod returned by train, and a stranger who was obliged to share his seat entered into conversation with him, and asked if he had had good sport. "Very good, indeed," replied the sportsman. "We got one hundred head to two guns." "You don't say so!" ejaculated the stranger, apparently lost in astonishment at the size of the bag.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR For Cuts.—Always keep some boracic lotion (made by dissolving one ounce of boracic acid in one pint of bolling water) by you for bathing cuts and bruises before applying dressing. To use, add to a little of this an equal quantity of bolling water, bathe the cut well with this, spread boracic ointment on a piece of linen, lay this over the injured place, and bandage. Unless the cut is painful, this dressing should not be removed until the place is healed over. A General Antidote.—The following prescription is recommended as a general antidote for poisons. It can be put up by any druggist. A saturated solution of sulphate of iron, two ounces; calcined magnesia, two ounces; washed animal charcoal one ounce. Keep the iron in a bottle and the magnesia and charcoal in another. When used, add the contents of the two bottles to a pint of water, shake rioroughly and take from three to six tablespoonfuls. Gargling.—It is very necessary to teach children early how to gargle the throat. It is not a difficult thing if teach a child, if taught before the throat becomes sore and the act becomes a necessity. The teaching may be made a pastime, and the knowledge so galanced may save much trouble and suffering, and perhaps life itself. The benefit arising from frequently washing the mouth and throat with salt and water cannot be overestimated. It is recommended by physicians as a preventive of contagious throat diseases. The Water Filter.—Care must be taken to keep the water filter absolutely clean. The infringement of this simple rule has often led to terrible illness in a family which might so easily have been avoided. It has been scientifically proved that if a carbon filter is not cleaned for three weeks or a month, the water passing through the carbon may have become polluted and quite unfit to drink, four times as many more germs having been found in one case after the filtration as had previously been detected in the water. Narcotic Stimulation.—Savage races of men feasted and starved alternately. When game was plentiful they feasted, but when game was scarce they starved. Since savages have poor facilities for killing game they starved much of the time, during which seasons of scarcity they were compelled to eat herbs or even grass. In this manner they discovered the narcotic effects of tobacco, poppies, hemp and similar properties of nuts eaten in green condition, also tea, coffee and cocoa. They found that after eating some of these herbs or nuts that they were apparently strengthened, or given greater endurance. As the races of men became more cultured and advanced they have made more uses of narcotics of every kind and yet this is no argument in favor of the use of narcotics. Many people do not realize that tea and coffee are narcotics. They are, however, among the most active nerve stimulants and the most injurious. The Right of Way. In the early days of Western railway-building—days not so long gone by as to be out of memory—there were many exciting races between rival roads for the possession of important mountain passes. Such a race, says the World's Work, was that between the Santa Fe and the Rio Grande roads for the right of way through Raton Pass, to New Mexico and the Southwest. Engineers and construction gangs worked in mad haste to get to it ahead of their rivals. The victory toll to the chief of the Santa Fe. When the Rio Grande cohorts arrived they found him alone in one of the big gorges, shovel in hand, sliding earth from an eight-thousand-foot hill. "What are you doing here?" they asked. "Constructing a railroad," he replied. He turned another shovelful of dirt, dropped the tool and hitched up his heavy cartridge-belt. "Any one who interferes with the Santa Fe does it at his own risk," he said, quietly. First the Rio Grande men laughed, and then they raged, and then they turned and went away. Their road was cut off from the south forever. Gave Himself Away. Detective Captain—How did you manage to spot the thief through his woman's disguise?

"And he's what you might call a handy boy, Jim is. Groceries and hardware aren't all he's got in his mind, and he's ready to take hold and help with what's going on wherever he goes.

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of remedies: those of known quality and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assistance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting temporarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
