St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM ART. PALACE LOUISIANÁ PURCHASE EXPOSITION ST. LOUIS, U.S.A. 1904 Vol. XIX. No. 48. CAPT. C. H. TANDY. A New Lodge of U. B. F. Last Saturday Capt. C. H. Tandy set up one of the finest set of men into a lodge of U. B. F. that it has been his fortune to organize. J. W. Wheeler assisted the captain. The lodge is known by name, W. A. Smith Lodge —, of the order of U. B. F. We shall have more to say in the future. It is said the doctor branded each one. A Question of Correct Weight. Last Sunday evening as a representative of The Palladium stood in a drugstore, a young lady and a certain young man were in doubt as to their correct weights. The young lady tipped the scales at less than 90. The young man was in doubt, and requested her to remove her wrap. When she weighed without the wrap her weight fell five pounds. The young man tipped the scale at less than 146 pounds with his coat on. The young lady in turn requested him to remove his coat. The scales dropped. The weight of both was not as much as that of The Palladium man. The question is: "What was the weight of the lady?" And about what is the weight of The Palladium man if the combine weight of the lady and gentleman, if The Palladium man weighed when he weighed five pounds more than the two. The Negro Pryor. Pryor, who in a public meeting, denounced the friends of Postmaster Baumhoff, a few Sundays ago, was the instigator of a committee of misguided Negroes, who denied facts known to be true. Any man who has been in the civil service for years, and can not speak a word for the man who has done so much for his race, is untrue to himself, and is a dangerous man. We have proof that this man Pryor went to the men who lodged information with The Palladium, and asked them to deny the truth of the statement issued in The Palladium. We wish to tell this young dignified mushroom, Pryor, that everything that the Negro has obtained in this country was through politics and the republican party. So if he wished to hold his little job in the postoffice, he had better denounce some one else beside the old politicians of St. Louis. FOR SALE. At Webster Groves, Mr. B. F.

FOR RENT—1235 Spruce, 8-room brick; will put in order for good tenant. HUTCHINS INGE. 107 Clark Ave. Prof. Bauchet's Resignation. We read with regret of Prof. Bouchet's resignation from the corps of Sumner high school's teachers. The conduct of the young ladies and gentlemen is the supposed cause of his resignation. Prof. Bouchet's efficiency as a teacher has been proven by the length of time he has held a position as teacher in the schools of Philadelphia. Prof. Bouchet need not feel that he is alone in having disorder to contend with. It is one of the trials to which every teacher is subjected. If every school, whether primary, intermediate or collegiate, there is still that spirit of frolic which prompts the pupils to commit deeds which harass the tutor. Whereas these acts are a conducive of general disorder, and some methods of punishment are not always effective. The last resort, expulsion, can not be adopted, for the simple reason that the more disorderly the pupil, the more he needs the refining influences of an education. Our race as a whole need education, and to deprive a pupil of it because of his disorder would be an injustice to him. It is to be hoped that the seriousness of the actions of these pupils in causing Prof. Bouchet's resignation will serve as a means to settle all foolishness among the pupils of the school. The pupils are mature enough to realize the gravity of the situation. Summer high losses a capable teacher in Prof. Bouchet's withdrawal. Nears July, Chancery J. Tilley. FOUR ST. LOUIS POST OFFICE CLERKS FIRED. Postmaster-General Payne Makes Permanent the Suspension of Misses Dreyer and Knott and Messrs. Dreyer and Kober, Whom Baumhoff disciplined For Entering Into Conspiracy Against Him. "Your Sins Will Find You Out." The Palladium called these four names last February, and you now see the result. Our good congressman said just before he left for congress, that he would see that the above ladies should be restored to their former positions in the post office. We ask what next step will our good congressman take? THE FOUNTAINS ARE COMING The Fountain Family at 647 Redbud Avenue. Some five years ago this family of ten children, six of them attended school, also St. John's Sunday-school. At that time the father and mother worked hard to keep them in school. Now they are old enough to render some aid to their mother and father. The three boys and two girls are showing how they appreciate the mother and father. Their home is fitted up in the most elegant style, with solid, costly furniture from the kitchen to the second floor. All this was done by the girls and boys that formerly were scholars in St. John Sunday-school. The following well-known vocalists will assist Mr. Douglas next Friday night at True Reformers' hall: Misses Clara Hutt and Mabel Wheeler, Madame Georgie Harvey-Michie and Mr. Lorenz W. Harris. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1903. A GRAND RECEPTION. Rev. W. C. Williams Given a Good Reception by the People of St. James Church. A grand reception was tendered Rev. W. C. Williams, Monday evening, 26th ult., in honor of his return to the pastorate of St. James, A. M. E. church, corner Pendleton and St. Ferdinand avenues. That Rev. Williams has won the respect, honor and love, not only of his immediate membership, but of the entire community, was fully evidenced by the warmth and spirit of that gathering. It was indeed an event in the history of St. James. CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Mrs. Ellen Morgan, of 3038 Lambdin avenue, is quite ill at this writing. Mrs. Adele Ross will soon send her daughter to Memphis, Tenn., for her health. Mrs. Dora Thomas' little boy is quite sick at this writing, 1426 Michi- The capacity of the building was fully taxed, and among the guests present were Reverends Roberts, Morton, Cole Brown and others. Rev. Williams, his estimable wife and children entered the church escorted by members of the official board. Prayer for continued success was offered by Rev. Morton, Prof. R. H. Cole and Dr. D. P. Roberts. Each commended in highest terms the noble merit worth and work of Rev. Williams, to which he very modestly responded, and after the rendition of a very excellent programme. All present enjoyed the bountiful collation served by the ladies of the auxiliary boards. Rev. William§ is a Christian gentleman, a man of sterling worth, and justly merits the honor and appreciation shown him. He has been an immeasurable benefit to church and society. His first assignment here was one year ago, when it is said he told the bishop if in his jurisdiction there was anything weak, feeble, brised or wounded anything that no one wanted, THAT would he prefer, thus seeking an opportunity to exercise a strength of will and purpose to the perfect satisfaction of having truly accomplished something in the world. The result was his appointment to St. James. He found the building in ruins, congregation scattered and a lack of unity among the members. Possessing that strength of character, and determination to succeed, he at once interpreted his surroundings, grasped the situation, planned as well as pitted, and with an abiding faith in boundless possibilities a security in Jehovah's guidance, and a freshness of spirit and devotion for the work of the Master, took hold of the helm, bringing order out of chaos, harmony out of conflict, and launched to victory. As a result of his diligence, assiduity, concentration of power and influence, they to-day worship under their own "vine and fig tree," and rejoice to chronicle upon the pages of its history to unparalleled success. Though the year was begun under heavy shadows, his report to the annual conference eclipsed all former ones, showing an increased membership, a good spiritual condition, and finance raised to the amount of $2,-751 Rev. Williams is a young man of keen foresight, rare capabilities, and adhering as he does to the principle of progressive expansion "with head and heart both active, both complete, and both in earnest," we predict for him a brilliant future. Colored Y. M. C. A. Notes The association is observing the week of prayer for young men. Every association in the world is expected to spend this week in prayer for the salvation of the young men. The Dumas Dramatic club will hold its last dress rehearsal at the Odeon the afternoon of the 15th inst. They say they are ready. Judging from the way box and parquet seats are being sold to the business men of the city, bankers and merchants, there will be quite a number of them to witness a high-class play. Seats are being secured very rapidly. Mr. Samuel Hilliard, the famous tenor singer, will sing "Mona" at the Odeon Monday evening. Get your seats early, or you will have to stand. NICELY-FURNISHED ROOMS- 4020 Finney avenue. Mrs. H. Palmer. CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Mrs. Ellen Morgan, of 3038 Lambdin avenue, is quite ill at this writing. Mrs. Adele Ross will soon send her daughter to Memphis, Tenn., for her health. Mrs. Dora Thomas' little boy is quite sick at this writing, 1426 Michigan avenue. Mr. Steven Decatur, of 909 Cardinal avenue, has been quit sick for several months. He is the father of Mrs. Richardson, of 3116 Rutger street. Mrs. Mattie Pryor, of 3021 Lambdin avenue, is suffering from yellow jaundice. The doctor says hers is a very serious case. We hope she will recover. Miss Madge Washington, who visited Mrs. L. Richardson, of 3116 Rutger street, has returned home to her mother and father. She made many friends while here. Mr. Clem Mitchell, of 603 Red Bud avenue, died last Wednesday. He will be buried to-morrow. He leaves a devoted Christian mother to mourn his loss. May he rest in peace. --- Mrs. Mary Thomas, of 724 North Beaumont street, has returned home, after an extensive visit, through the eastern cities—New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D. C. We call special attention to the ad of Mr. J. H. Harrison and Mr. Geo. W. McKoin, undertakers and first-class embalmers. It is now winter, so you can get your overcoat from them. The coat will last you till doomsday. Mrs.' A. M. Oliver has just returned from a three-months' sojourn in the city of Pittsburgh, Pa., Johnstown and Columbus, O., where she went in search of health. She was much benefited by her pleasant trip. Mrs. Mamie Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., the daughter of Mrs. Georgia Freeman, of 2237 Lucas avenue, has just returned home after ten years' absence. She is now stopting with her sister and mother—they hope she will remain with them. Mrs. Louisa Johnson, of 4577 Cottage avenue, died on October 16, and was buried by her two faithful daughters, Miss Beatrice and Mrs. Holland. W. C. Gordon had charge of the body. As usual, the other daughter never came near the mother when sick, but was first on the scene after death to shed crocodile tears. Venice, III. The good people of Venice, Ill., and also of Madison, read The Palladium. Mr. Lewis Watkins, our enterprising agent, is doing a good business. He sells from 35 to 40 papers each week. The citizens of Madison like Mr. Watkins, and all admit that he is a business man. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, Mr. Doc. Gill, Mr. and Mrs. John Newsome have it in their own homes. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, sells from 100 to 120 papers, weekly. If you wish to help a worthy Christian gentleman, get The Palladium from him. Mr. H. O. Carrol, of 726 North Twelfth street, is working up a good 30 copies each week. Mr. Carrol is a worthy old man. All the saloon men take delight in buying The Palladium. Mr. M. Barnes, our energetic agent, is doing fine work. He sells 20 to 25 copies a week. The congregation of Central Baptist like The Palladium for the stand it took in defending them when the Old Black Man took delight in sticking that congregation in the short ribs. At that time The Palladium thundered forth the shot and shell, and consequently gained the admiration of that church. Mr. Barnes is all right. ```markdown ``` KEEP THE FLAG FLYING. T. R. Our President has settled the Post-Office affair by Nominating Mr. Frank Wyman. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. A large crowd turned out to greet Rev. E. C. Cole last Sunday night at the First Baptist church. The Congregational Singing society meets every Tuesday night at the First Baptist church. The public is invited. The Pleasant Workers' club gave their "candy pulling" entertainment last Monday night, as advertised. There was quite a few present. Everybody had a nice time. The First Baptist church will start their grand fair entertainment on the 20th of December, and will carry it on for two weeks. This will be the finest thing ever seen at the church. Everybody is invited. Wm. H. Butler, president. The Pleasant Workers' club met last Sunday evening, directly after the morning service, the object of which was to outline plans for carrying out their "candy pulling" entertainment on Monday night. There were about fifteen or twenty of the members present. Mrs. M. A. Gilree, president. The B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist church was conducted by the vicepresident, Mr. Garfeld Craven, last Sunday evening. That gentleman complimented The Palladium and its reporter very highly for the work which the reporter and paper have done for the church and union; hence a motion by Mr. M. L. Harrison, and seconded by Mr. M. L. Harrison, and seconded be extended to the reporter was carried by all rising to their feet. This shows the greatness of intelligence. GOD'S POWER. Vast and tremendous, God doth seem Thy sorrow! When all Thy marvellous works I see Myself seems swallowed in immensity. From mortal thought aloft one little hour I watch thy wonderful world a mighty Of stars whirl by, earth in security, Treads her gigantic pathway set by Thee Huge by her jupiter and neptune tower. I glory when I see thy love to man And swell my song of praise unto Thy throne Made in Thine image, heir to worlds untold. The consummation of Thy holy plan What joy is his infinity alone Shall see the glory of his faith untold. MRS. JAMES COLEMAN, 1416 S. Cardinal Ave. A MOST REMARKABLE CHARACTER. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave 45 years. He passed through the civil war in the commissary department, and since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions. In 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, street commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing; then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer, not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers. By that means he makes a fair living. He sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so. Remember, he can not get out, but you can get The St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house, 209 South fifteenth street. It seems that a certain congressman will dedicate his whole life in having Miss Annie Dryer reinstated to the position in the post office. It has been proven beyond a doubt that Miss Dryer was one of the conspirators to have Mr. Baumhoff removed. Why is it that Congressman Bartholdt is so active in trying to restore this lady? COLORED Y. M. C. A. COLORED Y. M. C. A. Will Give Its Second Annual Benefit at the Odean, Grand and Finney Avenues, Monday Evening, November 16, 1903. The Colored Y. M. C. A. has succeeded in renting the Odeon for the presentation of the great four-act drama, "Past Redemption," by the Dumas Dramatic club. The drama is one of high moral instruction and interest, with an elevating tone through the entire four acts. The scenes are realistic and full of life; the characters vigorous and attractive. The drama contains music, poetry, and a moral that at once purifies and instructs. It is the play of the season. Don't miss it, for the great Dumas club will appear at its best. Tickets on sale at Harris & Mosby's drug stores, Twenty-third and Market and 809 North Jefferson avenue, after November 7. Reserved seats, 50 cents; 75 cents and $1. Boxes $1.25 and $1.50. Thos. A. Marshall and Chas. A. Hunter, managers. COLORED Y. M. C. A. DEDICATION. The Colored Y. M. C. A. building, 2633 Lucas avenue, will be dedicated under the auspices of the Masonic order, Sunday, November 15, 1903. All are invited to attend this grand exercise. Prominent Masons will be on hand. Orators and speakers of honorable mention will be present to make this one of the great days of St. Louis. Everybody is expected to attend this great effort of the young men, led by the grand Masonic fraternities. Exercises will commence promptly at 2:30 p. m., in St. Paul's chapel. The body will then proceed to the building, 2633 Lucas venue, and there dedicate it. E. DINSMORE, President. THOS. A. MARSHALL, Rec. Sec. L. J. RHONE, Treasurer. E. W. NEWSEST, Gen. Sec. Mr. Jeff Smith. We wish to present Mr. Jeff. Smith, who conducts a saloon on 1201 Morgan street, and another on the southeast corner of Twelfth and Wash. He is one of the most remarkable characters that we have come across. He conducted a saloon at the same number for Mr. Barney Belker, who now keeps a grocery opposite his place. Mr. Belker, during bad health, placed implicit confidence in Mr. Smith, and when he went out of business he offered Mr. Smith certain considerations. Mr. Smith's financial condition did not permit him to accept the offer, but Mr. Belker trusted the saloon to Mr. Smith. In three years Mr. Smith managed not only to return the debt, but also to open another saloon. All who are acquainted with Mr. Smith sneak well of his integrity and thrift. Not only that, but everyone who has been in his employ, speak of Mr. Smith's kind and just attitude toward him. Mr. Smith first began advertising in The Palladium over two years ago, and of all its subscribers he was the first to pay in advance. Of course he knows The Palladium knows no such word as fail. Mr. Smith has been in poor health for the past few months, but is up again, and his friends hope for his ultimate success. He has several brothers; one is with him in business. Mr. Smith lives at 1333 Gay street. 1903 NOVEMBER 1903 SUN. MON. TUES. WED. THUR. FRI.

Panama, where the revolution occurred, is about the size of your hat and as dirty as your nightshirt. Texas cattle, Missouri mules and Oregon railroad ties are doing the best they can to rehabilitate South Africa. It is announced that King Edward, for the first time in his life, has begun smoking cigarettes. Another reason why Canada should move for annexation. Col. Bryan was not permitted to speak from the steps of the Toledo post office. Toledo is not going to get mixed up in the postal scandals if she knows it. A huge accession to the number of office seekers must be looked for in Washington, else the Pennsylvania railroad would never be incurring indebtedness of $14,000,000 to build the new station in the capital city. Julius M. Mayer, justice of the court of special sessions in New York, said that the failure of parents to supply their children with spending money was one of the principal causes of crime among the boys and girls there. Many a child would be saved from the first wrong step if the parent would make him a small allowance, even two or three cents a week. Morris Williams, of Wilkesbarre, who has just been appointed president of the Pennsylvania Coal company, started his work about the mines as a breaker boy and has risen through all the grades of mining to his present position, where he controls millions of dollars' worth of property and commands more than 10,000 men. It is the national habit to inveigh angrily against dishonesty in politics and official life, but they whose railing accusations are the loudest are too often not unlikely to be those who make no practical protest on election day against the prevalent wrongs. The people themselves are responsible for the political dishonesty which flagrantly, insolently despoils them of their substance. Lieut. Peary wants $200,000 to lift the north pole. That is the expression Lieut. Peary uses, and it is strikingly appropriate. What can you do with the pole but "lift" it? There have been 100,000 pole railsings in the United States and if an American should be the man to do it for the north pole—well, you know what a streak of champagne and speeches there would be from Boston to Manila when he came home. The $25,000,000 which the Cuban congress authorized to be raised to pay the old soldiers promises to give a great deal of trouble to the Cuban government. It is an excessive amount to pay, as only a few men merged any remuneration. The money has not yet been obtained and the people object to taxes levied to meet the interest and to provide for a sinking fund for the loan. These taxes are generally stamp taxes imposed on retailers. If what the English speak is English, what is it we speak? is a question which seems perennially to ask for an answer and to get a great many, all of which are interesting, but not one conclusive. The discussion of pronunciations is as entertaining as the fashions and as irresistible as gossip. In London, with their "tike" for "take" and "ply" for "play," together with a thickness of articulation that seems to come from a stopped-up nose, an ordinary American can't believe it is the same language. It is impossible to prove that the account of the whale 150 feet long coming up New York bay, spouting water, in some places mud, like a McMonniel fountain, is another outburst of the New York reporter, so we shall accept it without prying too deeply into it. These shores, which may have been in Hendrik Hudson's time inhabited by fairies, and were, according to Washington Irving, the abode of hobgoblins, are no longer tenanted by either hobgoblins or fairies, but the fairy stories multiply more rapidly than ever. In asking for more pay the rural mail carriers have a cause that merits the serious consideration of congress The carriers now receive $600 a year, out of which they must provide a horse and wagon and care for the horse Their routes vary from 20 to 50 miles, over roads that are usually bad and frequently worse. The work is hard and exacting. In winter they are subjected to much exposure, and it would seem as a matter of justice that they deserved at least as good pay as the city carriers who encounter fewer hardships. Missouri State Gleanings. CUT THROAT WITH A RAZOR. Hotel's Effort to Keep Secret Manner of Tompkin's Death Unsuccessful. Daniel D. Tompkins, a travelling silk salesman of Brooklyn, N. Y., cut his throat at the Baltimore hotel, Kansas City. A chambermaid hear a cry from his room. She opened the door and discovered him sitting in a chair, with a razor in his hand and blood streaming from a gash in his throat. He was crying: "Doctor, doctor." Dr. S. C. James was called and stopped the flow of blood. Mr. Tompkins was taken out of the hotel by the rear freight elevator, so as to keep the affair secret, and removed to the University hospital, where he died. His wife and son came and took the body to Brooklyn. Every effort was made both by the hotel and the managers of the hospital to keep the manner of the death secret. Mr. Tompkins was 51 years old, and was known to the dry-goods trade throughout the country. She Wants to Apologize. Mrs. Katherine Angelica, of St. Louis, considered herself highly complimented when two well-dressed men helped her from a street car. She afterward discovered that her pocketbook, containing $200 and checks for small amounts, was gone from her pocket. She immediately suspected the gallant men who helped her from the car, and reported the affair to the police, who were of the same opinion as Mrs. Angelica, and a systematic search was at once commenced for the strangers. Next morning Mrs. Angelica was visited by a lady, who brought the missing pocketbook with her, saying she had found it in the street. Now Mrs. Angelica wishes to apologize to the men she suspected, whose descriptions, together with a complete account of the "big touch," were published in all the daily papers. Hurt by Powder Explosion. Edward Robinson, George Troy and Lee Answorth, employees of the Rock Island railroad, were seriously injured fourteen miles west of Versailles by the premature explosion of a box of dynamite and a half leg of powder. A missile of some sort was driven through Robinson's left lung, and the other two men were badly-powder burned about the face. Robinson was sent to Wyandotte hospital, Kansas City. Gas Explosion in Coal Mine. Five miners were injured by an explosion of gas in the Wilson mine, near Foster. The mine had not been worked for a few days, and considerable gas had formed. While it was being blown out it ignited from the light on one of the miner's caps. The injured are: Arthur Doke, Charles McMahan, Tom Cobb, Ed Doyle and John Long. Caught in Folding Bed. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Caler were caught in a folding bed at Hannibal and had a narrow escape from being instantly killed. Mr. Caler was severely bruised, and his wife sustained a dislocated neck, and in consequence she is paralyzed from the waist down. Her condition is critical, and fears are entertained for her recovery. St. Louis Next Year. The Mississippi Press association has voted unanimously to hold its next annual meeting in St. Louis during world's press parliament week, beginning May 16. The newly-elected governor of Mississippi, J. K. Vardeman, is an active member of the association. Spry in His Old Age. Frank Teson, a resident of St. Louis county, although 97 years of age, yet has both feet out of the grave. He recently walked a distance of three miles to board a trolley car for Clayton, where he was summoned as a witness. Hungary Will Take Part. Mr. William S. Michael, chief clerk of the state department at Washington, telegraphes that the department has been officially informed that the Hungarian government will take part in the St. Louis World's fair. Aged Brothers Leave Home. Two brothers, Fred and David Gilbert, civil war veterans, aged 76 and 63, respectively, are missing from their home in St. Joseph. The last known of them they left home to sign their pension vouchers. Won Bout. But Lost Money. Jacob Loesch, a saloon keeper, wrestled with a stranger in St. Louis. He won, and his antagonist disappeared. Then Loesch discovered that his pocket had been picked of $50. Tennessee Day. September 1 will be Tennessee day at the World's fair. The assignment was made by the committee on ceremonies, at the request of the Tennessee commission. An Unidentified Suitdee. The body of an unidentified man was found hanging to a tree, a little south of Jefferson barracks, in St. Louis county, by a soldier at that place. Land for County Home. The county court of Johnson county has purchased an 80-acre tract of land east of Warrensburg, upon which will be erected a $20,000 poorhouse. Giantess Returns Home. Miss Ella Ewing, the Missouri giantess, who has been on a three months' tour of the western country, has returned to her home at Gorlin. Death Under the Wheels. Hurrying to catch a train for Milwaukee cost Mrs. Maggie A. Tyndall, of that city, her life in the railroad yards near Union station, in St. Louis. Mrs. Tyndall had been visiting her brother, J. D. Gorman, at Kirkwood. Accompanied by her brother, she went to St. Louis on a suburban train, expecting to board her train for home at the station. Being a few minutes late, Mrs. Tyndall and her brother left the suburban train about a block south of the entrance to the station sheds, and hurried across the network of tracks in an effort to reach the Milwaukee train. The grand puzzle, as the trainmen call the network of tracks, bewildered Mrs. Tyndall, and she did not know which way to dodge when she saw a train backing in. Gorman cleared the tracks, thinking that his sister would follow, but was horror stricken to find, on turning around, that the rear coach of the train had struck Mrs. Tyndall. The wheels of the car passed over her body, horribly mangle it. The woman was hurried to the city hospital, and died on the operating table. Will Aid the Stockmen. The Kansas_World's Fair commissioners have made arrangements to pay a part of the expenses of the stockmen of the state who will exhibit at St. Louis next year. The stockmen have been trying to make arrangements whereby they can exhibit their stock with the least expense to themselves. The commissioners have now decided that they will appropriate $10,000 for the use of the stockmen's committee. The money will be used to duplicate prizes won at the exposition by Kansas stock, and in event that there is a surplus after this has been done, the remainder will be distributed among the exhibitors by the committee appointed by the members of the State Improved Stock Breeders' association. The members of this committee are Dr. O. O. Wolf, Ottawa; M. S. Babcock, Nortonville; C. F. Deftrich, Richmond; J. W. Robinson, Eldorado, and E. D. K. Burlington. Foot Caught in the Stirrup With his foot caught in the stirrup, Harry Ashley, 12 years old, was dragged, head downward, for more that a block, in St. Louis, after a horse had stumbled and thrown him from the saddle. Ashley sustained a concussion of the brain, and is believed to have been dangerously injured. But for the prompt work of Mike Sawless, who witnessed the accident, and overtook and stopped the horse, it is likely that Ashley would have been killed. Farmers' Telephone Company. The Farmers' Telephone Co., composed of farmers of Burton and Prairie townships, was organized at Armstrong by the election of the following officers: Asa Thompson, president; William Forbes, treasurer, and Bert Blousett, secretary. Seventy-five farmers are stockholders in the company, and work is rapidly progressing in the erection of lines. This company will have connections with all the towns in Howard county. Two Burned in Gas Explosion. In an explosion of guns at station A of the Lacede Gaslight Co., in St. Louis, George Anweller was probably fatally burned, and John Urwin was seriously scorched and badly scarred for life. Following the explosion, fire broke out all over the building, and the fire department was called out. The flames were soon extinguished, and the damage to the structure was slight. Lentz Jury Unable to Agree. E. R. Lentz, one of the most prominent attorneys of the Butler county bar, was tried for embezzlement in a special session of the circuit court at Poplar Bluff. After being out several hours, the jury was unable to agree, the vote standing six for conviction and six for acquittal, and was discharged to the court. St. Louis Next Time. Adjt-Gen.

MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT President Roosevelt's Communication to Congress. It Is Devoted Exclusively to the Reciprocity Treaty With Cuba For Which the Session Was Called. Washington, Nov. 10.—Following is the message of President Roosevelt to the Fifty-eighth congress which assembled in extraordinary session on the 5th instant: The Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban government. I deem such legislation demanded not only by our interest but by our honor. We can not with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the congress of the United States, this government definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic she could stand in such close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of international policy; and it necessarily followed that she must also, to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the plan by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the asaults of foreign foes and for the betterment of America in the waters south of us. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of the war with Spain and will be still further increased by the building of the isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics of the New World. She is loyally observing her obligations to us; and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrificed by the treaty; a large Cuban market is secured to our producers. It is a market which lies at our doors which is already large, which is capable of great expansion, and which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would be indeed shortsighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such opportunity, and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on considerations of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the board standpoint of international policy, and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who saved her in peace, and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward; and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legislation by the congress which, by the terms of the treaty, is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come periously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

(1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (8) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. The Newly-Appointed Postmaster. At last the question, which so vexed the public has been settled, and Mr. Frank Wyman has received the plum. Mr. F. W. Baumhoff made an honorable fight, and put his enemy to flight. The investigation that has been made by Mr. Folk proved that there was a conspiracy to blacken the reputation and character of one of the best postmasters ever in the public service and for fair treatment of the Negro. The investigation made by Mr. Folk was the cause of the loss of the positions of Miss Annie Dreyer and Knott, and also two men. This is in vindication of F. W. Baumhoff. The Palladium has cause to rejoice. The first of February, 1903, The Palladium called the names of the conspirators against the postmaster. We have four scalps dangling from our belt now. What have the other fellow. If Mr. Wyman treats Aunt Hager's children as F. W. Baumhoff has done, The Palladium will always stand up for him. Politics. The political condition of the St. Louis republicans were such that the president had to go outside of the different factions to get a post master. This shows party conditions in St. Louis are such that no victory over the democrats can be won till the party comes together and stands up for the republican party and not men. Let the different political leaders of the party stop their fighting of each other. Hon. C. I. Filley and the Good Government club, the St. Louis club, the Hamilton club, Hon. Charles Nagle, Hon. R. C. Kerns, and Mayor Ziegenhein, and the German element, and the unification of the 12,000 Negro votes in St. Louis, Hon. Charles Parsons, Judge William Zachritz, Talty, Kalbfeld, C. H. Smith, Hiram Lloyd, Chairman Akin—let them stop their warfare and meet as true republicans, then the party will be successful in St. Louis. MISSOURI METHODISTS.

These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult pictures. You will then be convinced for their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. The whereabouts of one George Henry Johnson, who lived in Concordia parish, La.

We take pleasure in presenting to the public Mr. Paton James, coal and ice dealer, at 11 Targee street. In 1885 Mr. James was porter in the Pullman service, and served in that capacity until 1891. After that he continued in the same company, but became known as a money-lender. He retained this position two years, after which he went into the coal and ice business at 101 Targee street. He was burned out, losing about $1,100. He then moved to 11 Targee, or Johnson street, where he is now doing a good business.

A Number of Cars Wrecked-Mobbing of Non-Union Men and Scenes of Wild Disorder Prevail-Police Powerless. Chicago, Nov. 13.—Constant scenes of disorder over a district approximately fifty square miles in extent resulted Thursday from the inauguration of a strike by the employees of one of the two principal street railway companies in Chicago. All along the lines wherever cars were started, strike sympathizers made desperate onslaughts on the crews, beginning at dawn and continuing as long as cars remained on the tracks. The tie-up was made complete. Many Persons Injured. A number of cars were wrecked, and that no person was killed is no fault of the rioters. One man's back was broken, and the first shot of the strike was fired at Wentworth avenue and Sixty-ninth street, where a mob tried to hold up a train. Many persons, chiefly non-union street car men, were injured by flying stones or splintered glass. Two women were among those hurt. Excepting a few dozen passengers who had to flee from the cars the 300.-000 daily patrons of the company were forced to all sorts of other methods in order to get down town and back. With faces and hands bleeding from the attacks of the strikers, motormen, gripmen and conductors who tried to run trains, returned to the barns and refused to go out again unless the trains bore platoons of police and patrol wagons were alongside. The Mayor's Impartial Attitude. The police confined their efforts to seeing that the passage of the cars from the barns was unobstructed and that crowds and blockades were quickly cleared. This was done under oiders from Mayor Harrison, whose announced purpose was to preserve an impartial attitude, taking sides neither for nor against the street car company, which, though known as the Chicago city railway, is a private corporation, lines of which extend to the outside of the city. Developments regarding the municipal administration hinge largely upon a new official, Herman F. Schnettler, who, Thursday, under appointment of the mayor, assumed the duties of chief of police. He will be in direct charge of police arrangements during the contest. His duties heretofore have been restricted to the north side of the city, a section entirely removed from the scene of the present difficulty and not penetrated by the railway. He is the man who tracked and arrested Anarchist Louis Lingg after the Haymarket riot. Schnettler is about six feet four inches tall and has a remarkable record for personal daring and astuteness. Mail Cars Not Molested. Possibilities of federal intervention under certain contingencies are being discussed. The situation in this aspect was outlined by Postmaster Coyne. He said: "Thus far there is no cause for alarm to the mail service. It is true trains have been delayed, but that is not serious enough to report to Washington. The street car company owns the mail cars, and by contract is obliged to run them in separate trains and deliver mail at specified points. There is no ground for objection against the company sending out the mail cars between passenger trains. What else can the company do if serious delay occurs? We will report the fact to Washington and act on instructions from the postal department." Effort Abandoned. Before nightfall President D. G. Hamilton and General Counsel Bliss of the company, after endeavoring to operate cars in defiance of the strike, and after a conference with Mayor Harrison, said that the attempt would be abandoned for the day. They declare that 50 per cent. of their employees are loyal to them. Further efforts to run cars, each car accompanied by squads of police in a patrol wagon will, it is expected, be made to-day. As a result of the tie-up, the elevated and steam roads traversing the strike-bound district were taxed to their utmost. Service was doubled and efforts made to handle additional passengers. Wagons Do Thriving Business. Meanwhile, express wagons and other vehicles with improvised seats did a thriving business in hauling people to and from their places of business. The strike is the outgrowth of persistents efforts for increased wages and exclusion of non-union employees. About 3,000 men, practically the entire force of the company's wage earners, were idle, the number of men at any time running cars being but a small fraction of the number usually at work. Coroner Holding an Inquest Carbondale, Ill., Nov. 13.—The coroner's inquest on the remains of United States Commissioner Perry L. Claxton, who was found dead near this city, is still in session. The family holds strongly to the theory of murder, but nothing so far has been developed to cause the coroner to that belief. Town Destroyed by Fire. Aurora, Mo., Nov. 13—Jenkins City, a town of 400 inhabitants, 12 miles south of here, was entirely destroyed by a fire which started at one o'clock Thursday morning. WOMAN WIND HOME Two Trying Defects Which Have Their Origin in a Lack of Self-Possession. There is probably no defect which causes so much anguish of spirit and discomfort as shyness and blushing. Nobody who has not personally suffered from it can even begin to conceive what torture it may cause. Shyness may proceed from one of two causes—the one physical, the other mental. It is often an affair of health. The nerves are out of order, and the will becomes weak. People shrink from their fellow-creatures, and are filled with an unreasonable horror of meeting or speaking to them. This is often the case after an illness, or when one has been overworking, and strained the physical powers too much. The best cure for this kind of shyness is fresh air, exercise and cheerful society. But there is another shyness, and one harder to cure, which comes from mental causes. Its afflicted possessor may be in robust health and yet so tormented by this inward enemy that she finds all intercourse with other people positively alarming. To meet strangers causes her a severe struggle. In either case, the root of the matter is self-consciousness, and it is only by losing that self-consciousness that self-possession and confidence can be gained. As long as one thinks about oneself at all, one will be liable to shyness. The only cure is to thrust all recollection of oneself into the background as much as possible, when one will gradually become natural, happy and at ease. To overcome shyness; and blushing there is nothing on earth like going a great deal into society, and every effort possible should be made to achieve this. This does not merely mean social life, but intercourse with one's fellow creatures. Force yourself to speak to every one you come in contact with, no matter what it costs you at first. Go on bravely; never mind how much you may blush and stammer. Persist in it, and it will grow easter and easter. Never shrink from putting yourself into positions which may draw attention upon you—N. Y. Journal. HAS FINE ALTO VOICE. Mary Anderson Navarro. Once Queen of the Stage, Makes Successful Debut as Singer. Mrs. Mary Anderson Navarro, at one time the most popular actress in America, recently appeared before a large audience in London, England, as a vocalist, and scored a tremendous success. She possesses a rich, clear contralto voice, developed during the past three years by Francis Korbay, the famous Hungarian composer and instructor. Mr. Korbay has been staying with the Navarros at their quiet country home MARY ANDERSON NAVARRO at Broadway, England, where they have as their next-door neighbor Maude Valerie White, and it was with songs written by the latter and Mr. Korbay that Mary Anderson chose to make her reappearance, although she says she will never again adopt the stage or platform as a profession. The great actress persistently denies that she will appear in America this season in a series of readings, although the announcement of her appearance has been made with many evidences of truthfulness several times this summer and fall.

By the by, the latest thing in splashers is an art linen splusher hanging from a small rod above the washstand.

The whole is easily washed and with a judicious arrangement of color is most effective.—Chicago News. When Making Buttonholes. Always run the buttonhole twist all around the hole about one-sixteenth of an inch from the edge before beginning the actual buttonholing. This strengthens and prevents it from tearing out, besides serving as a guide to the depth of the stitches. MARY'S CLEVER IDEAS. How She Transformed a Lot of Fancy Handkerchiefs Into Pretty Christmas Gifts. One day Mary bought at a bargain-sale a lot of pretty fancy kerchiefs. Some were a trifle damaged, and were sold for about one-fourth the regular price. Being a very clever girl, she soon transformed them into a number of pretty gifts for her Christmas-box, for it is her habit to begin to plan for Christmas quite awhile beforehand. One pretty scalloped-border kerchief had a hole about the size of a dollar in the middle. The illustration will show you how she cut it up. The piece with incurved edge, that runs along one full side of the kerchief, and the two other corner-pieces were put together to form a dainty turn-over collar. This was done by placing the cut side of the small piece under the scallops on one end of the long piece, the scallops buttonholed down to the under piece, and the raw edge of linen cut away. This gave an odd double-corner effect that was very pretty. The two curved strips were narrowly hemmed, crossed in the middle, and tied loosely, and when the collar was set into bands of muslin the little bow made a fitting finish for the front. A hemmed-edge, fancy embroidered kerchief was made into two collar. ```markdown ``` for two small sisters, it being nearly large enough to go around their necks as it was. A ruffle of inch-wide lace finished the edges. After cutting the collars from the two opposite sides, there remained a strip about five inches wide through the center. The handkerchief was scorched down the middle fold, but was otherwise good. So this strip was divided in two, each hemmed, and made into tiny bows for the closing of the collar. Two embroidery-edged ones had the scalloped edges a little defective, so of them she made a sofa-pillow cover. Two squares of pretty colored cloth were chosen, each being about four inches larger than the kerchiefs, and one kerchief laid in the center of each. Then with a contrasting shade of silk thread the scallops were fastened to the foundation with button-hole stitch. A cord finished the edge of the pretty cover. One that was perfect she used to fashion an odd hat-pin cushion. She procured a round pickie-bottle about six inches tall, and filled it with slipped felt and woolen bits. Then she cut a 13-inch circle of pale blue silk, grathered it along the edge, and slipping it over the bottle, drew the strings tightly around the neck of the bottle. A little round cap of blue was drawn smoothly over the top, and sewn firmly to the gathers at the neck. This gave a sort of full-skirt appearance to the bottom of the cover. The kerchief was laid over the top of the bottle, with the center exactly in the middle of the opening, then with a bit of No. 2 pale blue ribbon it was tied about the neck of the bottle, and finished with a fluffy bow. As this was a deeply embroidered pattern in a very "holey" design, the effect was very dainty. It can be kept dainty, as the kerchief cover is easily removed and washed. Another "whole" kerchief helped beautify a little basket. This was an embroidered silk one, of the style now used for nothing save fancy work. She chose one of the little Japanese "jinko," or ball-baskets, and measured the distance from the mouth, clear around the basket, and back again to the other side of the mouth. Then she added two inches to that measure, and drew a circle on the kerchief that was the same as this in diameter. She gathered along this line, using the over-and-over stitch, and doing it on the right side of the handkerchief. The handkerchief being white, with pink embroidery, she lined the basket with a 5it of pink silk, bringing the lining-edges well over to the outside of the basket. She then set the little basket into the bag made of the kerchief, and drawing the string until the bag opening just fitted that of the basket, she caught it fast with invisible stitches. A string of small pink beads was sewed on as you would apply a cord finish. This was for use on the dresser, to hold collar-buttons.—May Myrtle French, in Farm and Fireside. New Hair-Dressing Idea Hair dressed well forward and on the top of the head is once more becoming the order of the day and of the evening, too, for that matter. It should be drawn up rather close to the head at the back, taking care, however, that it is not too tight just behind the ears, for this detail, slight as it may seem, often constitutes the difference between a becoming and a dowdy coiffure. The front should be puffed well forward, but not too low down over the forehead, as this is rather apt to give a scowling aspect to the most genial of countenances. The width of the head should be accentuated as little as possible, except in those cases where the face is already very long and requires a broader effect to be imparted by the hair. -Chicago Examiner.

He tried to cure me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became disgusted, and one night when we noticed the testimonial of a woman who had been cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E.

In trying to realize what the Syrian shepherd was to the sheep we must remember that the Syrian pastures are not like ours, but vast stretches of half barren land in which streams are few and often dry, and which are infested with wild beasts and Arab robbers. With us sheep are turned out to pasture and left to themselves in safety; but in the east the shepherd literally lives with his flock and shares their hardships and dangers with them, for only so can he provide for them and protect them. "I shall not want;" The perfect trust of one who knows God's care from experience. It does not say: "I shall never want anything I cannot have," but rather: "Whatsoever God sees is best for me, I know that He will do, for He loves me." "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;" There are beautiful green oases in the most barren desert. The Great Shepherd does not abolish the desert, but helps us to find and to rest in the oases. It is when we follow Him most closely that the truest peace is found. "He leadeth me;" There is a great difference between leading and driving. In America we see sheep driven about by a man who, as Henry van Dyke says, "seems to be little more than a policeman to them." The Syrian shepherd leads, in for some of the pastures there are poisonous weeds, and he must be there first to remove them; he must select the pasture with the greatest care, and at the parting of the ways he with his superior wisdom must choose the right one, and because they have grown up with him and have never been disappointed by him the sheep follow him with implicit faith. Sheep have not very much wisdom, but they have enough to follow the shepherd, and that is sufficient. So we "shall not want" if only we have wisdom enough to follow our Shepherd. "Beside still waters:" Literally waters of rest. (Vs. 3, 4.) "He restoreth my soul:" Or restores or refreshes me, for the Hebrew word for life and sold is one. The most faithful Christians need refreshing of spirit, and those who have wandered into dangerous, and therefore forbidden places, need also to be restored to the safety of the fold. Both meanings are in this expression. "The paths of righteousness:" The thought here is especially of the human flock. One would not naturally speak of righteous paths when referring to the sheep. To the sheep they are the paths that lead to what is best for them; they are the same to us. Perhaps sometimes our Shepherd leads us over stony ways; but He does not it for His own sake, nor because He does not know the pain of the bruised and bleeding feet, but because there is no other way by which He can lead us out into the better life that awaits us beyond. But we do not suffer alone; He goes with us, and His feet are wounded as well as our own. And so we reach the better land through the sacrifice and blood of our shepherding Saviour. "The shadow of death:" Gr, deep darkness. "The psalmist has not merely the experience of literal death in mind, but all experiences where the darkness is thick and profound. (Vs. 5, 6.) "Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:" The figure seems to change here to that of a meal at which the psalmist thinks of himself as the protected guest of Jehovah. Foes he still has, but they cannot harm him. It is possible, however, as William A. Knight has shown, that it is a shepherd-psalm to the very end, for in reality the shepherd prepares the pasture for the flock in the midst of all kinds of dangers and "enemies," but they graze upon it in perfect security. "Thou hast anointed my head with oil:" A refreshing courtesy shown to guests in oriental lands, or the bathing or anointing of the brushed and weary sheep as it enters the fold at night. The shepherd has "the horn filled with olive oil, and he was cedar tar, and he anoints a knee brushed upon the rocks or a side scratched by thorns. And here comes one that is not bruised, but is simply worn and exhausted; he bathes its face and head with the refreshing olive oil, and he takes the large two-handie cup and dips it brimming full from the vessel of water provided for that purpose, and he lets the weary sheep drink. There is nothing finer in the psalm than this. God's care is not for the wounded only, but for the worn and weary also. "He anointeth my head with oil, my cup runeth over."—W. A. Knight. "I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever:" Jehovah is my Shepherd; His house is the fold. I shall dwell as I am dwelling in His safe fold forever! A perpetual fellowship. Read in connection with this psalm John 10:7-18 and Luke 15:1-7 for Christ's use of this same figure. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Blessed is the man who can truly say: "The Lord is my shepherd!" Blessed is the man who can say: "I shall not want." The Lord's shepherd care is better than any bank deposit. Blessed is he who is led by the Good Shepherd into the midst of green pastures and beside refreshing waters. Blessed is he who in the valley of the shadow of death has the presence of the Lord to comfort and stay him. Blessed is he who even in the midst of enemies feels that he can trust in the Lord's care and protection. Blessed is he who can look forward to dwelling forever in the house of the Lord. He who wishes to rise in the world should veil his ambition with the forms of humility. That is in the Case of a Young Lady Who Was a Scale Breaker. He kneels at the feet of the heiress Now, in order to make plain what is to follow, let us state that the heiress weighs 300 pounds, says Judge. True love, however, we will concede for the sake of argument, knows no waist-lines. And no woman is ever so fat as fortune. Therefore, to proceed, messieurs. He kneels, as we have previously said, at the feet of the heiress. "You are all the world to me!" he exclaims. "What?" she pants. "You wretch! are you aware of the fact that the equator is the largest diameter of the world!" In vain does he argue that the equator is an imaginary line. This only makes it worse. Metaphorically, she sits down on him; metaphorically, he is crushed. Sportman (wishing for fresh fields to conquer)—"I should like to try my land at big game."

Nov. 9.—A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very serious case of Acute Rheumatism when he heard that he could not move. This is what he says:— "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in such shape that I could not move without help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was still in great pain when my wife saw Dodd's Kidneys Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying them, and I felt better after taking the first box. I continued, and now I am well and able to wear all the shoes. I have found Dodd's Kidneys Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hiland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubts to whether or not Rheumatism can be cured. **Solo Would Be Appreciated.** "Allow me to introduce you to Prof. Alpen Stocker.

Catarral inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidneys, also called "Bright's disease," may be either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously that its presence is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victims. At the appearance of the first sympom Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once at the very root of the disease.
