As the process of tearing was very audible to the congregation, the teelings of the lady may be imagined when, at the moment, the clergyman began the service by reading the sentence: "Rend your hearts and not your garments." Coal Mines Increase It is stated that on Jan. 1, 1903, there were 1,124 bituminous coal mines in operation in Pennsylvania, as compared with 948 on Dec. 31, 1900. Pity the Poor Councillors. Members of the Connellsville, Pa. city council have sued a local news paper for damages in that it stated that they had demanded free passes from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. They claim to have endured "great mental suffering" which seems to indicate that they didn't get the passes. First Negro Graduate.

Says the Clinton, lowa, Dally Age: “The president thinks that cutting off the tariff on trust articles would not curb the trusts and might ruin lesser manufactures, To prevent ruination of that kind all that Qox- gress would have to do would be in connection with ‘cutting off the tariff on trust articles,’ to algo cut off tne tariff on foreign raw material. With the great majority of manufacturing industries in this country free raw material would enable them to pro- duce their wares at a reduction of at least 25 per cent, and leave a good profit for the mill and better wages for the laborer.” ‘The editor of the Dally Age should first know what “raw material” is and what {t, means before he echoes the worn out fallacy that has been explod: ed times without number, First, we will tell him in the words of Henry C. Carey what “raw material,” as he uses the term, is “All the products of the earth are in turn finished commodity and raw mate: rial. Coal and ore are the finished commodity of the miner, but the raw matrial of pig tron, The iatter is the finished commodity of the smelter, yet only the raw material of the puddler and of him who rolls the bar. The bar ig again the raw material of sheet tron and that, in turn, becomes the raw material of the nail and spike.” It has been said only the trees ir the wild forests, the ore and the coal of the unmined ‘earth and the uncath GULLIVER AND THE LILIPUTIANS. 74 a, al NY Ye { a tp HY suk a Pe ¥ I | ae; I> i KASS 4G is a oF J aah) Dd ¥ i; La 3 — io H a Bs Reap aa a mY , Ree fa elas grec Se 9 eC tt 4M.

All these our Iowa contemporary would have us put on the free list. Well, to begin with, every one of them which we do not produce at home is on the free list now. In 1902 We imported “articles in a crude con- dition which enter into the various processes of domestic Industry” to the Value of $528,506,507, Of this, $254, 669,666 worth, or nearly 80 per cent, came in free of duty. ‘These articles admitted free of duty by the Dingley law number fully 500, and even more it we consider different kinds of material. It would take several news paper columns to name and describe them, The per cent of all free im ports in 1902 was fifty-three, or more than half of our entire importations Our Importations of so-called “raw material” in 1902, 80 per cent of which came in free, amounted to $328, 000,000, while the average under the WilsonGorman law was less than $20,000,000, Moreover, 1t may be stated that the importations of manufacturers material during the present tiscal year of 1903 will exceed $500,000,000 in_value. Now let us consider the protected “raw material,” The census gives the value of our manufacturers In 1900 as $13,041,287,498, and the cost of materi Als used as $7,348,143,755. Suppose we had imported the whole of that $7,350,000,000 worth of material. What would such an annual importation mean? Simply a loss of wages and {ncome amounting te fully $6,000,000, 000 a year. And when the farmer has no market for his wool, or the mine for his ore and coal, or the lumbermar for his lumber or the millions of work men for their proauct, how are the) going to be able to buy the product of others? That condition of thing: was just what brought the disasters o 1894, ‘95, "96 and '97, till the Dingle: Jaw came to the rescue and brough the opportunity to do our own work ‘That is al! there 1s to this questior of protection to the finished article o | the sowalled raw material, It enable us to do our own work, and with th resulting wages and incomes both { the factory and on the farm we er large the consumption; and the tr creased demand for all commodities bring increased production and more business for the ratiroads, the mer ohants and personal service. If so called free raw material did enable some of our manufacturers to produce their wares at m reduction of 25 per cent in cost, it would make 30,000,000 poor farmers and their families, and throw out of work millions of laborers now earning from §2 to $5 a day. Fully three persons are engaged tp producing our so-called raw material to one engaged in producing the last finished product. Now shall we throw three men out of employment to bene. fit one, even were that one to be bene fited? But the one would not be bene fited, for his market would be gone, We advise our Iowa friends to look into this matter of free raw material thoroughly, instead of the superficial glance they throw at it with a. con clusion based on an argument as falla cious as an empty wind bag. When comes to competing in the foreign market it should be remembered that all materials that enter into products to be exported are 99 per cent free, a feature of our tariff law that free traders rarely consider when talking about “free raw materials” and “the markets of the world."—Americar Economist, What Canada Wante. To suppose that Canada ts yearning for reciprocal relations with the United States in order that sho may receive an increased quantity of manu: factured exports from this country, ts to cherish a delusion, Canada wants nothing of the sort. What she wants {s to become industrially independent and self-reliant, to encourage and build up her own Industries. The Hamiltor Spectator negatives the assumptior by the Buffalo Express that the Cana dian government desires to negotiate a reciprocity agreement with the United States, and says: “Canada is now importing many more millions of dollars’ worth of American made goods than the people of this country want to see, And 1 is a reduction of that Importation, no an increase, that the people of Canads want,” | The preferential of 33 1-3 per cent in favor of imports of British origit may be removed before long, but | will not be removed because Canads wants to trade more extensively witt the United States. It will be becaus Canada wants to do more of her owt work and to decrease her imports it competing products.

I you cured him and highballs a day and a d., or telegraph at my exp Yours truly, Fifteen years ago I found by tedious labor and long, patient research that nature had provided a remedy in an herb that would actually stop the craving for opium, morphine, cocaine, chloral or any of the drug habits; cure the habit without suffering, nervous jerking of the muscles, hot and cold flashes, etc. The herb is so simple, so common, so seemingly harmless that there is no record of any druggist or chemist experimenting with it; no book on medicine has a thing to say for or against it; yet in the accidental chewing of this herb in my nervous craving in the woods far from my drug store, I had accidentally stumbled on an herb destined to be the greatest boon to suffering humanity since the discovery of quinine. For fifteen years I have been curing victims of the drug and whisky habits whenever they have applied to me. To-day I have several thousand written testimonials from grateful people, men and omen, whom I have cured. These cases are from all the walks of life, such as mechanics, farmers, stockmen, druggists, physicians, lawyers, and even ministers. My case books show the hames of hundreds of cases cured whose social position, modesty, and financial standing would not allow their names to be made public. For I never publish these letters without the writer's consent. Oh, the blessed delight of feeling life and health coursing through your veins. To rise with the lark, feeling strong and happy. To drive twenty or thirty miles into the country without a thought as to whether there are any saloons or drug stores out there. To lift up your head once more in life and look your fellow man straight in the face without one thought of shame. To step forth briskly, as you did in youth, and leave forever behind you that tired feeling, that dragging of the feet, that hang down look, that wrinkled, yellow, blotched skin, those dead looking, hollow eyes; those restless nights and hideous nightmares, and look the world square in the face, with the full assurance that once more you are a man, or woman, as the case may be. I am restoring health to mental and physical wrecks. Each day of my life some one warmly shakes my hand and says, "God bless you, Doctor." If you are not cursed with the drug or drink habit, perhaps you know of some one who is. Blessings will ever be showered on your head if you can point out the way by which that lost one can be saved.

Hoffman, forerly a professor of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., is now engaged by the British government to teach the farmers of the South and West Africa the principles of cotton growing. Mr. Hoffman has made much progress along these lines and he enjoys the confidence of those among whom he is laboring. The possibilities of the future in the cotton culture in Africa and the progress made will be watched by all the civilized nations of the earth. Mr. Hoffman believes that the American Negro is the natural and most efficient cotton planter for the African Coast. He says the climate is suitable and the Southern Negro is the best adopted for the work. Mrs. A. B. Minor of this city, a dress maker for a number of years, had a dress making establishment at 514 West 5th street, accumulated quite a little fortune. About a year ago she sold a piece of property in West Bottoms, which brought her $3,000, and owns a valuable piece of property on 5th street for which she gets $75 per month. She still sows and sells her goods at Leavenworth, Kan., and owns a nice little home on Highland Ave. She is a credit to the race and a living example of what industry can do. THE NEGRO AS HE STANDS IN THE MIDST OF MODERN CIVILIZATION, AND HIS ENVIRONMENTS. The Negro minister of the gospel has a field to preach and each in, which reaches from the Atlantic ocean on the East to the Pacific waters on the far West, and from the Great Lakes in the North to the Everglades of Florida on the South. The harvest is ripe, and his work is to teach an unfortunate and neglected people who in the days of clavery were taught not to recognize the institutions of the marriage relation, and most of whom were conceived and brought forth in sin. Yes, they were born badly, reared, and come up without proper training, either in morals, virtue or in their relations with their fellow man. A people who for two hundred and fifty years were taught not to regard the institution of marriage—and who were encouraged in lusty things of the world. Their moral and social life was not regarded—the animal of the race was sought to be developed, and the arts of a Christian civilization were hidden from the Negro for two hundred and fifty years. Many of those who now preach and lecture of the Negro as a failure, in the days gone by forty years ago, would preach to his white hearers: "Repent, believe, and be sound upon the terms of the gospel." To the Negro congregations the minister would often take for his text: "Servants, obey your master and you will be saved." This deception was carried on for over seven generations, but in God's own good time he removed the bonds of slavery, and left $00000 of these people in ignorance, penniless and almost without a hope in the star of Bethlehem. Their liberation grew out of a cruel war and the circumstances naturally caused their former owners to take issue with any movement on the part of the Lincoln government looking toward their elevation. The first move that called them together was the Negro minister in the church and Sabbath schools. The next was the Negro teacher and they have had charge of the destiny of the race for nearly forty years. Have they been faithful to their station and the people of whom they have fashioned to their likeness? We are constrained to think that while they have done much to schools, they could have done far more by a united effort. The minister should have laid more stress on morality and industry—the teacher should have sought to make good readers and good spellers of his pupils. Has he succeeded on these lines? We think not. The pupil in most instances has been pushed ahead in advance of his ability to comprehend and master, he has been often too soon taken out of his English course and put in classes of the languages, and we want to say here that the teacher and preacher in many instances are one and the same. In some instances the morals of these men and women have not always measured to the golden rule. The Deadly Submarine Two submarines made a sham attack on the French squadron at La Rochelle recently in the evening, and so smartly were they handed that it is said in actual warfare the whole division would have been annihilated. Why Mosquitoes Bite. Why do mosquitoes bite human beings? According to Dr. Santos Fernandez of Cuba it is because the females cannot form their eggs without sucking some warm blood. If they fail to get it, they lay no eggs. How to Exclude Microbes There is a great deal in the color you choose for your wall paper. Dr Jacobitz of Germany, has discovered that all bright colors are an unfavorable ground for the propagation and growth of microbes. Consequently, if houses, hospitals, schools and all public buildings of a similar character are covered with wallpapers bright in their hue the microbes will find no place. Negro Voters. There are 30,000 negro voters in New York, 21,000 in New Jersey, 3,000 in Rhode Island, 8,000 in Delaware, 60,000 in Maryland, 15,000 in West Virginia, 18,000 in Indiana and 14,000 in Kansas. Rich Rewards. Who says there is no longer a reward for valor? A New Jersey boy rescued two maidens from drowning and got a kiss for his trouble. We hope it was worth it. Wasted Effort. It was in the summer at a far-away resort and the clergyman on this particular Sunday was very much in earnest and very young. He got up and preached energetically in the heat to twelve old women, two decrepit men, and four children on the heinousness of playing golf on the Lord's day—and there weren't any links within ten miles at that. MUNICIPALS IN INDIA The Christian population of India, including Europeans, does not number 3,000,000, while the Moslem contingent has increased in twenty years by 12,000,000 souls. Islam is not a native but a foreign religion in India, and has not had large sums of money to spend in its propagation as has Christianity. Madagascar Missionaries. Madagascar and the islands of Africa have an area of 231,584 square miles, with a population of 4,308,962, with 284 foreign missionaries. In 1882 there were 1,100 churches and 1,200 scholars under a Christian queen. Blame the Composer In an advertisement by a railway company of some uncalled-for goods, the letter "I" had dropped from the word "lawful," and it read: "People to whom these packages are directed are requested to come forward and pay the awful charges on the same." World's Largest Advertisement. In the matter of size, Americans claim that they possess the biggest advertisement in the world in a placard devoted to a certain smoking tobacco painted on the side of the Grand canyon on the line of the Denver & Rio Grande railway. The preprice is 200 feet high, and the advertisement covers a space 150 feet long by thirty feet wide. "Waterclad" Warship. The Russians are experimenting with a "waterchal" battleship, which has an upper deck of cork and a second deck of armor. The space between the two can be filled with water; then the ship floats a foot under the sea's surface. Boston Children Deteriorating Boston educators are having a live- ly controversy in trying to decide when children should begin their studies in the public schools.

OFFICE & WAREHOUSE 1315 W. 9th. Kansas City, Mo. His mother was one of those married old maids who abound even in the best society. He was the child of her middle age; and because she resented his coming, as a check upon her social gayeties, she had compromised with her Puritanical conscience by calling him Welcome, after the colonial ancestor of her mother. So, as Welcome Nye, he was sent forth to create disturbance in the world; which he did in inverse ratio to his size and vitality. His mother did not long survive his birth, and he was left, the incarnation A man and a woman are standing in front of a wall. The man is holding the woman's hand and looking at her. The woman is standing slightly behind the man and looking at him. There is a figure on the wall behind them. "The divule be your welcome." of her nervousness, her restless activity, to perplex and mystify his grave and disgusted father. All legends which he had ever read of elfin children and changelings came back to Adelbert Nye's memory during the confused years which followed—years in which his son was the wonder as well as the despair of physicians and nurses; when the period of his teething became an epoch, when the violence with which he took, one after another, and survived the various diseases of babyhood furnished the subject matter for learned papers at countless medical conventions; when the fabled nine lives of the domestic cat became too insignificant for notice by comparison with the falls and bumps and fractures, the maladies external and internal of Welcome Nye, which went to prove what could be endured with the minimum of vitality in the frail and emaciated form of a boy who was destined to live for the trial and long suffering of his kind. So the child continued to grow, and to become the terror as well as the despair of nurses and teachers. The house servants, who had a perfect horror of him, referred to him affectionately among themselves as "The Divvle," a memory of a night when one of the maids, in the enjoyment of a twilight interview with her favorite policeman, looked up to shriek with dismay, as the elfin child, astride the lofty garden wall, laughed in ghoulish glee at their tender farewell. "May the divvle be your welcome!" had growled the disconcerted guardian of the peace, as his eyes followed hers; and since that time the appropriteness of the epithet has grown upon the household. While his distracted father could reconcile himself to the boy's physical weakness and defects, it was a heavy cross to bear the knowledge of the absolute lack of what the world deems education on the part of his son. His son! And he himself was counted a scholar, an ornament to his profession; might be elevated to the bench if he so chose; was a marked man in his set as the author of certain deep and thoughtful papers upon historic and scientific topics; had, in fact, all the points of the cultured gentleman and modest scholar. Oh, why, why had Fate punished him by making him the father of such a son, who managed to elude all obligations to study, because forsooth, the doctors declared that he must not be urged, or worried, or exited! He was 9 now, was Welcome, but spindling and undersized and wizened, his sharp features and diminutive hands and feet causing his unhappy father to sigh whenever he noted them. Surely there were Darwinian suggestions about the uncanny and repulsive form of the boy, whose defects were never so apparent as when Adelbert Nye contrasted his offspring with the beautiful children of his neighbor, the fascinating Widow Carleton. It was strange that they should have met again, after her long absence in England. Adelbert Nye and the beautiful woman, who, as Leila Deland, had been friends in youth—and more. He thought of it all as he walked slowly homeward in the moonlight, after his first call at the villa where she was established for the season, oh, shades of love and poesy! with her twin daughter! Twins! Adelbert Nye deprecated the slang of the day; yet had he put his thoughts into words, and these words into the vernacular, he must have murmured something about the fact of twins in connection with the sweetheart of one's youth being calculated to jar even a dignified member of the bar! And more horrible still, one of the Welcome Nye's Fourth twins had married; and Lella—his Leilla—was eked a youthful grandmother! He paced the gravel path in the moonlight, while the odor of his cigar mingled with the fragrance from the tangle of old-fashioned cinnamon roses by the gate; and memory went back to the time when they had bidden each other farewell—an affectionate farewell, he remembered, as his cheek redened, he to return to college, the girl to go to a showy finishing school abroad, where her ambitious mother had married her to some beefy Englishman whom Adelbert had always hated on principle. "And she is 10,000 times more fascinating now than she was then! That sweet September day when we gathered the gentians by the pasture ditch—gentians no bluer than her own dear eyes!" he murmured, with a strange accession of sentimentality. "Ah! after all, age is but a relative term! And the fountain of perpetual youth is not so fabled as one might dream! Yet lovely as Leila is, she is no whit lovlier than is that sweet child, her daughter, the pretty Louise! How fortunate that chance should have made us neighbors!" Meantime, in the seclusion of her own bed chamber, Leila Carleton was standing before the mirror, removing the jewels which had flashed upon the filmy laces of her handsome dinner gown. "Oh, who would ever, ever expect a man to be faithful?" she asked herself, with bitterness, forgetting that she, too, had been somewhat inconstant during the long lapse of years. As the days went on, it was a sweet consolation to Adelbert Nye to have the sympathy of such a neighbor in his affliction—for so he regarded the possession of such a son, in spite of his effort to love the uncanny child and his care and solicitude for the boy's physical welfare. Leila understood, and had pity for him. But it was a source of regret that the child had conceived an instant antipathy toward the beautiful Louise, who found a rare pleasure in teasing the boy, amazing the young tyrant by declaring that what he needed for both physical and mental health was an unlimited dose of Solomon's prescription. To Welcome, who had never been thwarted or disciplined during his capricious life, this was the signal for hatred of the most malevolent sort; and the two waged warfare as persistent as it was ```markdown ``` A "The dlyvle! He's run away with the auto!" regrettable to their elders. It was natural that the sedate and dignified Lawyer Nye should find it both pleasant and convenient to be neighborly, and that he should make calls both frequent and regular at the Carleton villa. Particularly distasteful to one youth was the gallantry of Neighbor Nye; to the bank clerk with small salary, who devotedly came down from Boston each Saturday, to pay court to Louise, and whose heart sank at the sight of the solid and wealthy director of his own banking house, whom he found comfortably at home with the girl, in the easy chat of an informal afternoon upon the shady veranda, a state of bliss which he had been picturing for himself all the way down in the crowded, dusty train. He did not appear well, this disappointed Archie Irwin, as he was presented to the dignified caller, whom he regarded with sudden hatred and dismay. What chance had he, he asked himself bitterly, against a man with Nye's money, and profession and position? Worst of all, Louise seemed pleased with the attentions of the middle-aged suitor. The young man—he was tall and athletic, and good to look upon, an Adonis of the Von Bibber type—fell back upon Welcome for entertainment during his doleful visits to the villa. The weird child had taken to him from the first, clinging to him with passionate affection, watching his every movement with the dumb devotion of an animal. Another watched the growing interest of Adelbert Nye in the fair young girl, and tried in vain to ignore the heart-burnings which it caused. And yet, why? Leila Carleton asked herself. Why should she expect the lover of her girlhood to remain the lover of her middle age? So the late June days fled; and as the nation's birthday approached, the early cottagers at the Pier joined with the townpeople in preparations to celebrate the day with fitting evidences of patrolotism. There was to be an early morning parade of antiques and horribles, followed by a military demonstration, a parade of automobiles at noon and an old-fashioned afternoon picnic, with reading of the Declaration and patriotic addresses, ending with an evening of fireworks. Such a busy season as it became for Welcome Nye! His father was to lead the automobile parade in his fine French racing machine and deep was Welcome's disgust and violent his fire when refused the privilege of accompanying him, more especially since that honor was to be accorded his arch-enemy, Louise Carleton. The choice was seemly and fitting; yet it caused Louise Carleton's mother a little pang which she would not admit was jealousy, and which she herically strove to ignore, as she aided her daughter in decorating the Corsair, which, in its floral lines of red and white carnations and the blue of the feathery adjuratum, with knots and festoons of fluttering ribbons in the national colors was a thing of beauty, when their deft fingers had given it the finishing touches. To the surprise of the townspeople, Independence Day dawned bright and warm, an ideal day for the celebration. The events of the morning proved more than successful and there was lively interest in the coming of the autos, which were to make the round of the town at noon. The Corsair, looking like a fairy vehicle in its floral adornment, stood in the open doorway of the Nye stables, only waiting the coming of its owner to start upon its triumphal progress. The household was busily engaged, for it was the lunch hour; all were anticipating the rare pleasure of the afternoon. Suddenly there was a dash, a bang, a warning toot! toot! the odor and puff of gasolene, and out of the stable doorway and down the drive madly dashed a cumbersome floral bulk. There was a cry of alarm, a rush from stable and household, hoarse warnings hurled after an adventurous and unheeded chauffeur. "The divile! He's run away with A the auto!" one groom called to another, and that one to the house servants. In truth it might have been his satanic majesty himself, the way that elfish child dashed down the drive and into the street. The anxious group followed him in mad haste, but not for long. They held their breath in horror as they saw the machine zig sag, then essay to climb the grassy terrace at the Carleton villa, ingloriously dropping back; and then, puffing and snorting, with whirring of wheels, dash backward across the road and over the offset, down upon the rough cobbles of the beach. The child lay very still as they rescued him, seeming to take his mishap as a matter of course. When they picked him up his left arm hung limp and there were sundry smudges and burned places upon his face; for the Corsair had taken fire, and was no longer the dainty floral thing which it had been left as the triumph of womanly artistry. "Any other child would have been killed!" was the verdict of the physician who had been summoned in hot haste—a familiar verdict enough to all who knew Welcome Nye and his escapades. It was Archie Irwin who had tenderly lifted the little figure from under the wrecked machine, and to whom the child had clung with passionate affection; but after they had taken him to the veranda of the villa he had suddenly stretched out his uninjured arm to Mrs. Carleton, and had begun to sob and cry in a paroxysm which amazed them all, since repentance and Welcome were wont to be as bitter strangers. Leila Carleton tenderly folded the hapless child in her arms, his besmudged face and tousled head nesting against the dainty whiteness of her gown, as she endeavored to soothe him, and to still the strange outburst which was so distressing and so disconcerting to his unhappy father. Could it be that the sullen, malevolent nature had capacity for feeling of which he had never dreamed? Or, was this but a physical manifestation of nervousness and terror? "My boy! My boy!" he began, soothingly. "Be quiet! The doctor is going to set your shoulder. Surely, you do not mind a little thing like that?" he asked, recalling the child's lifetime of accidents. Welcome ceased his cries for an instant and then renewed them. "Oh, I have been a bad, bad boy!" he whimpered, with astonishing penitence. "But I'm never, never going to be bad any more!" "That is a laudable resolution, my son!" his father responded with mild irony. "Pity you did not think to make it earlier!" and he glanced grimly at the wrecked automobile, and thought of his spoiled plans. "I'm never going to be bad—if you give me something!" whimpered the boy again. "My son! I forbear to mention what I'd give you with huge delight, if I gave you your deserts!" exclaimed the sorely tried father; while Mrs. Carleton smiled. "I'll be good," the child astonished them by declaring, "if only I get a new mamma!" Their eyes met in confusion. "I'm the only boy 'round here that ain't got no mamma," announced the child, with cheerful impudence and disregard of grammar, "and I want one!" he persisted. "I want Mrs. Carleton!" "My boy, this is the first good turn you have done your unfortunate father since your birth!" blurted out Adelbert Nye, with surprising alacrity. "You have but anticipated my own request!" and he smiled upon the boy most genially. "Now if only Mrs. Carleton consents——" "But I thought——" that lady began, in confusion. "Oh, I want you! I want you!" the elfin child persisted, tightening his arm desperately about her neck. "I'll be a good boy! I truly will!" The doctor was arranging his splints at the end of the veranda. Archie and Louise had joined the curious group on the opposite side of the street. It was an opportunity afforded them by Fate! "Lella," the dignified barrister began in a tender whisper, "the child has but voiced my own thoughts! You know what you were to me once! For your dear sake I have learned to love your daughter as my own. She cares for young Irwin; I am in a way to help the boy along. For all our sakes, then, will you not consent?" "It seems but fair," she responded slowly and calmly, although she felt that he must be aware of the mad beating of her heart, "to exchange my daughter for your son!" "Leila. I know it is a long time since that far-off September day when we gathered the gentians in the old pasture lot, and vowed——" "All ready now, young man!" broke in the doctor's cheery voice, as he hurried fussily up with full hands. "Now let's see what a hero you're going to be!" But the child pushed him rudely away, at the same time inquiring, in the imperious tone of one who had never known what it was to have his wishes gainsaid: "Is it all right, papa?" "That is for Mrs. Carleton to decide, my son! Is it all right, Mrs. Carleton?" he inquired lightly, yet with unmistakable anxiety in his tone. Two little spots of red burned upon her cheeks, and she hesitated. Surely, never was so strange a proposal! "You are going to be my——" the A man is giving a woman a ring. The hapless child in her arms. child began; but she pressed him to her, smothering the word which she wished to hide from the waiting surgeon. And then she sobbed, and in a minute she smiled pathetically. "For once my son's escapades have accorded with his outlandish name!" was Adelbert Nye's fervent comment.

The Truth About Coffee. It must be regarded as a convincing test when a family of 7 has used Postum for 5 years, regaining health and keeping healthy and strong on this food drink. This family lives in Millville, Mass, and the lady of the household says: "For eight years my stomach troubled me all the time. I was very nervous and irritable and no medicine helped me. "I had about given up hope until 5 years ago next month. I read an article about Postum Cereal Coffee that convinced me that coffee was the cause of all my troubles. I made the Postum carefully and liked it so much that I drank it in preference to coffee but without much faith that it would help me. "At the end of a month, however, I was surprised to find such a change in my condition. I was stronger in every way, less nervous and at the end of 6 months I had recovered my strength so completely that I was able to do all of my own housework. Because of the good Postum did us I knew that what you claimed for Grape-Nuts must be true and we have all used that delicious food ever since it first appeared on the market. "We have 7 in our family and I do the work for them all and I am sure that I owe my strength and health to the steady use of your fine cereal food and Postum (in place of coffee). I have such great faith in Postum that I have sent it to my relatives and I never lose a chance to speak well of it." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. I suffered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss GUILA GANNON, 359 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. It is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place.

The Unstable Earth It has long been known that the earth's poles wabble a very little. Now a Japanese scientist, Mr. Kimura, who is in charge of an observation station at Misuzawa, has found a variation in latitude, and it seems that the earth's center of gravity may oscillate every year to the extent of about five feet. This, it is said, "cannot be explained by any cause with which we are at present familiar." A Discouraging Discussion The bartenders of Chicago have organized a total abstinence society. From figures presented at the first meeting it was shown that fully one-third of the bartenders and saloon owners of the city are abstainers. In many of the large saloons the proprietors will not employ a man that drinks. There are so many things one might say about this that one is discouraged from saying anything.—Brooklyn Eagle. How Railway Eat Up Cur Forests. The annual demand for railway ties is 400 for each mile of track and the average life of a tie is seven years. It is an unusual acre of forest that has 300 trees that will make three ties each, and it takes fifty years to grow a tree that will make three ties. Therefore, 25 acres of forest are necessary for every mile of track. Electric railways included, there are in the United States about 250,000 miles of road.

A Woman's Back Dublin, Mich, June 29th—To the many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings in the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place will be interesting and profitable. Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing that would relieve her. The pain kept on in spite of all she could do. At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had suffered with the backache, and said she had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker thought she would try the same thing. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she began to feel some better, and she kept on till last she was cured. Her pains are all gone, and she is very grateful. She says: "Douds Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back."

Odd Doings in South Africa. Odd Doings in South Africa. A Dutch traveler, just returned from South Africa, tells some queer stories. He stayed for some time in a valley called Baboon's Kranz. There he saw immense armies of baboons which descended dally to the wells to drink, making hideous noises and paying no attention to the human beings camped near by. These baboons were harmful enemies to the settlers in the valley, for they had the habit of catching the goats when they were put to pasture and riding them until the poor beasts could run no farther. One day while in camp in Hottentot land he heard a rushing sound, as if rain were falling in torrents. Not far away it seemed to him as if a cloud had actually begun to fall to the earth. The cloud turned out to be locusts. The planters and cattle raisers soon appeared with their men and gathered them in bags. They smoked the insects to kill them and then dried them in the sun, after which they fed them to the dogs, chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. The traveler found that oxen and horses are especially fond of the locusts, and get fat and strong during the locust season, as do the natives, who also gorge themselves. First Lighthouse. The first lighthouse in Illinois was built on the high bluff at old Port Clinton, now included in the city of Highland Park. It commanded the shores of Lake Michigan between Waukegan and Evanston.

But, in the act of God, coursing the raging waters to lay waste and make barren the thousands of once happy homes, where comfort, love and contentment once reigned supreme, He saw that in order to serve his people, He called upon him to return to the firm of Rhodes, Haverty & Huppe, whose warm heart, small payments and reasonable prices on furntiure would enable him to do more, in the hour of dis- tress and suffering, for his people than wifh any other similar firm in a short lifetime.

Among the recent disasters which are stil] fresh in our memories are the eruption of Mt. Pelee and the Galveston Tidal Wave. The losses in property in this city was greater in extent than In either of these great disasters, and while the loss of life was not so appalling , still the loss of homes and property of the poor, the enforced idleness of honest workmen and --throwing on the charity of the more fortunate, thousands of self-respecting, honest heads of families, brings to us a condition of suffering seldom in a community which in ordinary times is amply able to protect itself, and where honest labor asks charity from no man. In this hour of our dire distress and real destitution of our people, it is a fair warning to, and they should heed it.
