MUNICIPAL STATION THE HOTEL KAN SAS STATE BUILDING AT THE FAIR --- FOR RENT and Lawton Avenue. The Palladium Is An Owl. We regret that some Negroes coming to the city from the south are living in places they do not wish their acquaintances to know of. We wish to say that rent is so high, all persons can not be accommodated as they would like to be, so don't be afraid. If the Palladium man sees a new-comer in town he will put it in the Palladium. If you are so high-toned that you do not wish your fellow-students of the different schools in which you were educated to know of your whereabouts, you had better ask the Palladium man to please keep quiet on that point.

Annual Sermon. Notice BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

Make a package of our celebrated LILLY PURE, and no soap but a which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.

A diamond of great antiquity and varied history added another chapter to the record of its wanderings when it disappeared from the rooms of its owners at the Planters hotel in St. Louis. The stone was part of the loot of the American army in China, and was bought by its present owner, Capt. R. K. Scott, of Napoleon, O., while he was in service in the Philippines. It is a beautiful, pure-white gem, valued at $1,500. When Capt. and Mrs. Scott came to St. Louis to see the World's fair they were accompanied by an officer who had served in the army with Capt. Scott. Although the much-coveted jewel disappeared about the time that this officer left St. Louis, Capt. and Mrs. Scott refuse to believe that he could have been in any way accountable for its disappearance. The matter was reported to the police and a thorough investigation was made, but without result. Collision Near Paris. Two west-bound freight trains on the Wabash railroad met in a rear-end collision on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad near Paris. A car of gasoline in the first train exploded, and the oil immediately took fire. Seven cars of freight, a locomotive and a caboose, together with seven spans of trestle on which the collision occurred, were burned. Fireman Sampson, of Moberly, in jumping to save himself, had his leg broken, and Engineer Smith was badly bruised. The first train was standing still, taking water, when the one following crashed into it. The property loss is heavy. Couple Hurt in Runaway. While F. S. Mullins and Miss Flora Cox were returning to Downing from Memphis, where they attended an old settlers' reunion, their team became frightened and ran away, upsetting the buggy and breaking both legs just above the knee of each of its occupants. Benton's - Portrait in Place. A portrait of Thomas H. Benton, the property of the Missouri Historical society, has been placed in the Missouri building at the World's fair. There are only three portraits of Benton in existence, and they are all the property of the Missouri Historical society. Got Money From the Trunk. A trunk belonging to Oscar Weber, of Stratman, St. Louis county, was broken open at the Weber residence and $700 or $800 in currency and $100 in gold were stolen. The man who stole the money made his escape, but Weber says he can identify him. Depot Agent Robbed. Two masked men, one white and the other a negro, held up Harry Clem, night agent at the Burlington depot at Wheelling, at the point of a revolver, and compelled him to deliver the contents of the cash drawer. They secured only $12.50. Too Much Religion. George W. James, a merchant of Kansas City, became insane over religion, and, perched in a tree, preached fervently to the passers-by. It required several big policemen to take him in custody. Newspaper Changes Hands. The Wentzville Union, for the past thirteen years published by J. W. Dickey, has been sold to Charles Richards for $1,200. The publication will continue to be independent in politics. Smelters Close Down. The Rich Hill zinc smelters have closed down indefinitely, throwing 100 men out of employment. The management gives as the reason the high price of ore and the shortage of men.

The kidney secretions were unnatural, my legs and stomach were swollen, and I had no appetite. When doctors failed to help me I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and improved until my back was strong and my appetite returned. During the four years since I stopped using them I have enjoyed excellent health. The cure was permanent." (Signed) George W. Renoff. A TRIAL FREE—Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

If Russia receives a decided defeat at the hands of the Japanese, then the situation of the government and the whole regime will become more serious; for, in this case, it is the revolutionary parties that will come decidedly to the fore and that will take the lead in the reform movement. For the past thirty years they have been carrying on the fight against great odds and have themselves stronger after each reverse. To-day they have many of the lower classes in their ranks, an element that has less to lose and so much to gain. This united body is only awaiting an opportunity to make a final assault on the government citadel. When the rush comes, it is probable that they will sweep all before them, as the Japanese are doing in Korea and China. Then it will not be simply a matter of reforms, but a life and death struggle between autocracy and liberty. The present coterie which rule Russia never dreamed, when they began this war, that they had started czardom on a course at the end of which was a fatal fall, or, at least, a change of regime in the direction of modern forms of government. We are now moving toward that fall or that change, perhaps toward both, with a giant's step—The Independent. Here, at 8:35 on what was the Russian left, was broken out the first Japanese flag, fluttering white like a tiny handkerchief, as its bearer climbed higher and higher. Only a few minutes later the flag of Japan was broken out on the Russian right. All firing ceased. The white flag of Japan mounted higher and higher on the bare road along the crest of the ridge. The immediate battle was over, and the Japanese spectators beside us on the wall of Wiju were shouting, "Banzai!" But the Russians had failed to reckon on the dash and swiftness of the Japanese. On right and left the pursuit was taken up by the Japanese, while the reserves of the center division, fresh, took up the chase hot-footed. Their cavalry was not used, and then was given a spectacle which must have brought a grin to the stern features of the god of war—artillery drawn by horses, over good roads, where no rain had fallen for days, pursued and overtaken by men on foot. And the Japanese did it. They caught two batteries and a battalion at a place called Hamatan, and forthwith stormed the position from the left, front and right. It cost them 300 casualties, but they got the guns.—Jack London's War Letter. WHAT'S THE USE To Keap a "Coffee Complexion." A lady says: "Postum has helped my complexion so much that my friends say I am growing young again. My complexion used to be coffee colored, muddy and yellow, but it is now clear and rosy as when I was a girl I was induced to try Postum by a friend who had suffered just as I had suffered from terrible indigestion, palpitation of the heart and sinking ells. "After I had used Postum a week I was so much better that I was afraid it would not last. But now two years have passed and I am a well woman. I owe it all to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. "I had drank coffee all my life. I suspected that it was the cause of my trouble, but it was not until I actually quit coffee and started to try Postum that I became certain; then all my troubles ceased and I am now well and strong again."

HOUSEHOLD MOST CHARMING OF WOMEN It Is She Who Can Be Amiable and Agreeable at All Times and to All Persons. It is a good thing for a woman to be beautiful. It is her duty to be, as far as she can, well dressed and well groomed. But beauty may fade with the passing of years. Bright eyes may be dimmed and rosy cheeks may grow pale; the luster of softly curling love-locks may be silvered and many tears may chase smiles from laughing lips. Poverty and loving service to others may deprive a woman of the wherewithal for pretty gowning. But if she once be mistress of the art of agreeability she can never cease to attract and to possess a hold on the interests of life around her. To be agreeable a woman must be also vividly alive to things outside of herself and a sympathizer in whatever concerns the fancies of others, old and young. She may have opinions of her own, but she must learn to hear the opinions of others and to accord them full weight and value. And this will render her infinitely more agreeable than the obtusion of views which she may hold, even though those views may be eminently correct. The agreeable woman must be a good listener on any subject. As a hostess it is her especial province, around her own board or in her own drawing room, to deftly set the ball of conversation a rolling. But having once done so, the truly agreeable woman is not thereafter heard for her much speaking. She only supplies the gentle filip necessary to prevent stagnation and to keep the interchange of friendly gossip and thought on the plane of bright and sparkling wit and humor. The amliability is not confined to class, age or station. It may be attained to in overflowing measure by the humblest as by the highest, by the oldest as well as by the youngest. It is the one art that is worth more to its possessor than millions.—Pittsburg Dispatch. JUST COUNT THE LEAVES. Poison Ivy Has Only Three, While the Harmless Woodbine or Creeper Has Five. Thousands of people—men, women and children—become poisoned by contact with or the exhalations from poison oak and ivy each year during the seasons of vacations and rambles in the woods. The poisonous effects of both the oak and ivy are very severe and distressing, lasing for a long time. The Washington Star says that people could easily distinguish these shrubs from the harmless shrubs and POISON OAK VIRGINIA CREEPER OR WOODBINE POISON IVV HARMLESS AND DANGEROUS. vines if they would learn the difference in appearance. They have simply to remember that the Virginia creeper, or woodbine, has five leaves and the ivy but three. Children should be early taught to tell the harmless woodbine from the ivy. The woodbine has five leaves deeply serrated and are not poisonous. The ivy has but three leaves. The older leaves are buntly notched and the young leaves have smooth edges. The poison oak, or poison sumach, has a bright red stem, the edges of the leaves are not notched, and the leaves are much smaller than those of the common sumach. How to Make Apricot Jelly Stone 18 apricots, cut them into slices, and place them in a basin with the juice of two and a half lemons; then pour over them one and a half pints of boiling sugar, cover the basin, and leave the contents to cool. When almost cold, add one and a half ounces of gelatine; mix this well in, strain into a jelly mold and leave to set. When set, serve on a dish garnished with thin strips of apricot.—Boston Budget. Simple Exercise for Health. Take regular exercise in the open air every day in all weather; walk, ride, row, swim, or play; but, whatever you do, keep out of doors as much as possible.

REAL RULERS OF ESOPUS. Four-Year-Old Parker Hall and His Little Sister Mary Run Farm and Home. Parker Hall, four, and Mary Hall, two, the grandchildren of Judge Parker, now have become targets for every camera fiend and every sort of photographer that comes this way, and all seem to find their way to Esopus, where the children live during the summer. The New York American says that Parker, the boy, is a sure enough type of young America. He is brave and bold, always on his feet, hates to be awakened in the morning and dreads the hour when he is told to get ready for prayers and bed. Once he had curls that hung around his neck, but he got rid of them. They looked pretty enough, but he was teased and called "baby" and "pretty little girl" until the shears had to be applied. In disposition Parker is the gentlest of American boys. He obeys every command, is polite in company, knows when not to ask for a second biscuit at the table and can play mumblebety-peg with his nurse and make that gentle young woman bury her nose in sand and dirt while rooting for the peg. He knows his A B C's, but he won't tell anybody about his lessons. He says when he goes to school—that is, when a governess is assigned to him regularly—he is going to study law and be a judge, just like his "daypaw" is. Little Mary is a big two-year-old girl, but she has not learned to utter the MASTER PARKER HALL slightest word. Only a mother's intuition can penetrate her mind and tell what she wants when she makes a sound that says she wants something. But she is as playful as a kitten, and can run almost as fast as her big brother. She is the light of her mother's eyes; the boy is the one object that can make Judge Parker forget his dignity, make him get down on his all fours and butt heads with his grandson like a playful goat. Parker Hall would be a second Tom Sawyer if he had a Huckleberry Fun for a companion. But at Rosemount there is no one to play with except his little sister and grown people. In Kingston, where he lives, he has little opportunity to get on the streets for fear he may be run down by a wagon or a street car or be attacked by a dog. Should Judge Parker be elected President, it is not unlikely that Parker's father, Rev. Charles Mercer Hall, would abandon his parish at Kingston for the social life that would await him at the capital. In winter Mr. Hall lives in Kingston, in summer he has resided in the lodge at Judge Parker's. Parker Hall would give the Roosevelt boys a good race, if they should visit him, in the way of showing fearlessness and having fun. What he wants to be is a steamboat captain. Next to that he would like to drive an ox wagon. As regular as the morning comes and the oxen are yoked and driven to the hay field, where they take on a load, Parker Hall is at the gate begging for a ride. If he could just get on the tongue of the wagon and pop the whip as he sees the driver do and call out: "Gee there, Brandy, w'op, there Spec; git along!"—well, he would give up all interest in the white house now and forever just for a day's such pleasure. Butterfly Farm in France. The first "butterfly farm" is said to have been established only a year or two ago by the English entomologist, William Watkins, at Eastbourne, but already several similar farms have come into existence in France. The object is to rear rare genera of the Bombycidae, the silkworm family. They have, by crossing, obtained some new varieties, which are sought after by museums of natural history. They are also endeavoring to acclimate in France species of silkworms indigenous to other countries. The farms contain oaks, ailanthus trees, pines, plum trees, castor oil plants and other plants, the leaves of which serve as food for the caterpillars. Cocoons are hatched on branches protected by gaze, and for the sake of uniform temperature, the insects are often kept in a room until after the first moulting, when they are placed on bushes in the open air, and protected from birds by coverings of muslin or tulle.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) 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. 69 Democrats will get farther when the voters decide to weigh promises instead of records. In the Philippines the Republicans are showing what they have done with conditions. The Democrats are still wrestling with a theory. Careful perusal of Democratic speeches this year fails to disclose any inspired orator who is claiming that wheat and silver always maintain a parity. Kansas banks have $100,000,000 on deposit, almost as much as the amount of mortgage foreclosures in the State during the last Democratic administration. David B. Hill declares that "President Reosevelt is a fraud." Hill cannot have done the President a greater service if he had been hired for the purpose. Tom Watson can not understand why Democratic leaders should curse him because he preaches the same doctrines they were advocating' only four years ago. No Democratic orator, not even Bourke Cockran, has revived that old cry "the tariff is a tax" which at one time deceived the voters of the nation, to their sorrow. David B. Hill announces his intention to retire from politics and public life on January 1. He is determined, apparently, to stay a couple of months longer than Parker and Davis. The whole question of unionism is put into a rutshell by President Roosevelt when he says, "We recognize the organization of capital and the organization of labor as natural outcomes of our industrial system, which is to be granted the full protection of the law and which in turn is to be held to a strict objection to the law." The Democratic plea that the country needs "a change" might be more effective if the country did not remember the disastrous results that followed the last trial of Democratic theories. It is announced that Senator Tillman and Governor Vardaman are both going to make speeches in the North. It is difficult to understand what the Republicans have done to deserve such luck. Senator Davis compares present expenditures with those under Buchanan. Would Senator Davis bring about the industrial and financial conditions under which Buchanan wrote his famous message in 1857? Judge Parker has made it plain, in a letter over his own signature, that a vote for him is an endorsement of Erving Winslow and the group of malcontents in Boston who favor a scuttle policy in the Phillipines. President Roosevelt declares that it is cowardly to shrink from the problems that have been developed in the Philippines. The Democrats condemn the President for refusing to be a coward. American workmen are so well employed that it is very difficult to find the recruits necessary for the army and navy. Recruiting officers probably remember the Democratic administration when idle men fought for the opportunity to enlist. There was a time when the N. Y. Evening Post declared that Judge Parker would be unfit ever to be President because of his agreement to a nullification of the Constitution and national laws. Above all things, Judge Parker seems to be a Master of Arts in the science of expediency. A BLIND CHRISTIAN Gentleman Who Conducted Barber Shop, 1526 Morgan. We call special attention to Mr. A. Donahue, of 1526 Morgan street. We knew him before he lost his sight. He has been blind for over two years. Mr. Donahue is a worthy gentleman, and although blind, he and his amiable wife are conducting a barber shop. We that are blessed with out five senses should feel it our duty to assist this gentleman. Now, if you want to help him, go there at least once a week from your regular barber and get shaved. We will try and do our part. You can buy a paper from him, the St. Louis Palladium, which will not net him $2\frac{1}{2} cents on every Palladium that he sells. Remember, gentlemen and ladies, we have got our sight, but we can not tell how long, so help him. He has lost one of the most important senses that men and women possess, that of sight. Remember, 1526 Morgan street. Antioch Church Notice. Rev. S. P. Anderson will preach morning and evening, Sunday, the 18th. Friends and the public at large are invited to come out.

Bishop, of Russell, Ark., on the occasion of unfurling the flag on the national holiday.) At the first light of day o'er the land that we love We see the blue sky of the heavens above. As day succeeds night it brings to our attention. The beautiful folds of the Red, White and Blue. We cast our eyes upwards as the heavens grow light And cast our souls on the glorious sight. There straight from the shaft our flag streams out bold. The Stars and the Stripes wave out fold after fold. As day becomes brighter and increases the light The stars of our flag are now plain to the sight. The blue field with its stars comes plainly to view. Each star a state in our Union so true. Under its folds there is no such a name As carls, lords or noble, all men are the same. Each freeman an heir to the throne of our land. Where the brave and the merciful go and band 7 C.P. WALBRIDGE Republican Candidate for Governor of Missouri. A vote for Walbridge is a vote for political honor. Let the republicans line up on Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Walbridge, McKinley and the entire ticket, and victory will be ours. The Negro that can vote against Roosevelt and Walbridge is not honest to his wife, mother, sister, nor to his race. The republican party meets live issues, the democratic party dodges them. Walbridge represents the party of principles. The republicans of the state should put forth every effort to elect Hon. C. P. Walbridge, with the entire republican ticket. C. P. Walbridge represents the principle of the republican party, and he will be elected if the republicans do their full duty. A Negro man that will vote against C. P. Walbridge must accept the treatment of the governor of Mississippi—A POLITICAL BAMBOOZLER. Any man who says that he is or has been a republican, and votes against Walbridge, is a political crank, and ought to be read out of the party. We must look for the interest of the Negro, that is the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. Roosevelt and Walbridge represent these principles that give dignity to Negro manhood. 9 Good Advice. If you are troubled with kinky or curly hair, use Ozonized Ox Marrow.

The Campaign Will Be Pushed Vigorously—Walbridge and McKinley to Make a Thorough Canvas St. Louis, Sept. 10.—Announcement has been made of the following engagements for the speakers to be sent out by the republican state central committee, the etitineraries having been arranged by Charles D. Morris, secretary in charge of the speakers' bureau: John E. Swanger, of Milan, nominee for secretary of state, Lowry City, on September 17, at the old soldiers' picnic and reunion; Senator John C. McKinley, of Unionville, nominee for lieutenant-governor, Tarkio, on September 16, at the political day of the Atchison county carnival; Gen. George H. Shields, at Hale, on September 17, at the opening of the campaign in Carroll county. Several days ago announcement was made that speeches would be made at Molely, on September 14, by Cyrus P. Walbridge, Herbert S. Hadley and George H. Shields. Secretary Morris stated that he has changed the meeting to Huntsville, the seat of Randolph county. In the afternoon the speakers will be heard at Paris. Mr. Walbridge will make a thorough canvass of the state. He is in good health and voice, and no matter how large the crowd every one can hear Mr. Walbridge. Senator McKinley has laid aside everything to enter the campaign. He is a splendid speaker, has a powerful physique, and will be one of the most vigorous campaigners Missouri ever had. A poll is being taken by the republicans of St. Louis. Wards completed give excellent returns. Republicans are active and in earnest, and it is believed among conservative ones that the republican majority in St. Louis in November will exceed that in 1896. There are many visitors at republican state headquarters. Senator McKinley was in the city Wednesday, and during the morning he was in conference with Cyrus P. Walbridge, Herbert S. Hadley, John E. Swanger and Secretary C. D. Morris. This list of the state candidates includes all of them who are to make speeches throughout the campaign. Assignments will be made by Mr. Morris so that every congressional district in the state will be equally represented in the number of speeches made by the candidates. An evidence of the interest taken by many democrats of Missouri in the coming campaign is found in the large number of them who have written Chairman T. K. Niedringhaus of their intention of supporting the republican ticket, both national and state. Some have called on the chairman, and have volunteered their services in the campaign. One of the democrats taking this view is John M. Barton, of 4613A Easton avenue, who formerly lived in Lincoln county and was treasurer of the county for two terms, from 1888 to 1892. He was also cashier of the Ellsberg bank, and organized the bank of Winfield, being cashier of that institution for four years. Mr. Barton is one of the most prominent democrats of northeast Missouri. He numbers among his friends all prominent business men of that section of the state. He says: "As for the democratic nominees in Missouri, I shall also oppose Folk and the remainder of the ticket, because he does not embody the principles which he started out to accomplish, having fallen into the clutches of the machine on the journey. Every patriotic democrat in Missouri knows well that there have been things going on in the management of state fiscal affairs which we neither understood nor approved of. Trafficking in spoils is not a democratic principle, and the best way to remedy the evil is to turn them out. The only way to turn them out is to turn them out. That is the salvation of the democracy of Missouri. Defeat of the party ticket this year means its election in 1908. "If Folk and the ticket are elected in November, I believe that the republicans will go into power in 1908, and will retain their control of the state for the same length of time that the democrats have. Folk is too weak to accomplish the results which are necessary in the state. The way to accomplish it is by natural means. Place the government in other hands, so that the party meanwhile can cleanse itself. It is surely impossible to accomplish this by allowing a supposed boodle reformer to consolidate with the same element which he has been decrying." Continuing, Mr. Barton declared that he would urge all of his friends to support the republican ticket, both national and state. "What converts I make," Mr. Barton continued, "I expect to make as a democrat—a Bryan democrat. During the entire campaign I intend doing all I can for Roosevelt and Walbridge, as against Parker and Folk." THE TICKET. Governor—Cyrus P. Walbridge of St Louis.

He wrote the music for the "Stein Song." And every man who has ever had that song on his lips feels a stronger wrench on his heart than if an emperor had passed away. The emperor might have had universal obeisance while he lived. He might have had whole front pages when he died. But he would still have been remote. He would still have been simply a part of the pageant of the ages. Bullard had lived not only in pageant, but on the lips of thousands and thousands of English-speaking folk, to whom his harmonies seemed worthy of Richard Hovey's noble verse. It was part of his guildon that when he, the humble, singer, was reported dead, his fellow-men should be struck with a personal, intimate sorrow which they can seldom render to the great ones of the earth.—Chicago Tribune.

APPROVES PARTY PLATFORM Says It Is Hard to Find Issues Upon Which Democrats Propose to Wage Campaign—His Views on Public Questions. The following is a comprehensive synopsis of President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance of the republican nomination: "Honor the nomination of the Notification Committee—My Dear Sir: I accept the nomination for the presidency tendered me by the republican national convention, and cordially approve the platform adopted by it. In writing this letter I am certain that upon which I desire to lay special stress. "It is difficult to find out from the utterances of our opponents what are the real issues upon which they propose to wage war, and how we have abandoned most of the principles upon which they have insisted during the last eight years, they now seem at a loss, and are now unable to believe, and as to how firmly they shall assert their belief in anything. In fact, it is doubtful if they venture resolutely to press a single issue; as soon as they do, they explain it away. Such an attitude is the probably inevitable result of the effort to improvise convictions; for when thus improvised, it is not necessary that they should be held in a tentative manner. "The party now in control of the government is troubled by no such difficulties, do not have to guess at our own control, nor seem to be unaware of what seems unpopular. The principles which we profess are those in which we believe with the soul and with the mind differ from them that they cannot accuse us of shiftiness or insincerity. The policies we have pursued are those which we earnestly hold as essential to the national welfare, and that we louder than our words for the faith that is in us. We base our appeal upon what we have done and are doing, upon our own knowledge of the facts during the last seven years, in which we have had complete control of the government. We intend in the future to carry out the work in a way that we have carried it on in the past. A Disrupted Party. "A party whose members are radically at variance on most vital issues, and if united at all are only united on issues where their attitude threatens widespread trust in the government, cannot be trusted to govern in any matter, except which, with facile ease, changes all its convictions before election cannot be trusted to adhere with tenacity to any policy, and is not a government must have convictions. In 1586 the republican party came into power, and in 1590 it retained power, on certain definite pleases, each of which was scrupulously solving the problems which were issues in these campaigns, it also became necessary to meet other problems which arose after election; and it is no small part of these problems that were solved with the same success that had attended the solution of those concerning which the battles at the polls were fought. In other words, our government was unanticipated, but to do the tasks that were anticipated, but to do each unanticipated task as it arose. "When the contest of 1896 was decided, the question of the war with Spain was not an issue. When the contest of 1890 was not an issue, the question of the war with Canada question ultimately took could not have been foreseen. But the same qualifiers which enabled those responsible for the war in Washington to deal successfully with the tariff and the currency, enabled them also to deal with the Spanish war; and the same qualifiers which enabled them wisely in the Philippines, and in Cuba, also enabled them to do their duty as regards the problems connected with the trusts, and to secure the buildup of the Islhmian canal to the important task to reshape the before the American people upon the fact that to adherence to a lofty ideal we have added proved governmental efficiency. We have trusted as regards any issue that is now before the people; and we may equally be trusted to deal with any problem which may arise." So well has the work been done that our opponents do not venture to recite the facts about our policies or acts, and then oppose them. They attack them only when they are represented them, for a truthful recital would leave no room for adverse comment." The action of the administration in conjunction with the Panama revolution and the signing of the canceled treaty is outlined and the president says: "Criticism of the action in this matter is simply criticism of the only possible situation of the canal; as well as the peace and quiet which we were, by treaty, bound to preserve along the line of transit across the canal, and to protect our country in securing the permanent right to construct, maintain, operate and defend the canal was so great that our opponents do not venture to raise the issue in straight-leg situation, for if so raised there would be no issue. Democratic Misrepresentation. He charges misrepresentation on the part of the democrats in the statements of the conduct of the foreign policy of the administration and the operations of the navy, and asks: Do our opponents object to the way in which the Monroe doctrine has been amended and is held to before it has the doctrine been acquiesced in the law as it is now; and yet, while upholding the rights of the weaker American republican against foreign aggression, the administration of the law of the country to the extent to these republics that those who seek equity should come with clean hands, and that whoever claims liberty as a right must accept the responsibilities that go with the law of the country. Do you object to what was done in reference to the petition of American citizens against the Kisheney massacre? or to the protest of the government of America? Or to the efforts that have been made in behalf of the Armenians in Turkey? No other administration in our history, no other government in the world, does not consider the use of the power of the state spirit of brotherhood in our common humanity, or has held a more resolute attitude of protest against every wrong that is always a living will. Do you object to the home or abroad. Do our opponents object to the fact that the international tribunal at The Hague was rescued from impotence, and turned into a policy of the instrument for the service of the nations? The movement has used that tribunal, and advocated its use by others, in pursuance of its policy to promote the cause of international peace, and by the use of the law of the country to the methods in carrying out this policy. It has settled dispute after dispute by arbitration or by friendly agreement. It has been a result of the use of our work with courtesy, dignity and justice; and it is now on excellent terms with all fact that American warships appeared promptly at the port of Beirut when an effort had been made to assassinate an American official, and in the port of Beirut a ship had been abducted? and that in each case the wrong complained of was righted and explicated? and that within the last few days the visit of an American squadron to Smyrna was made, and that the Americans concerned in educational work in Turkey? Do they object to the trade treaty with China, so full of advantage for the American people in the war, that the ships carrying the national flag now have a higher standard than ever before in marksmanship and in seamanship, as individual units and as component parts of squadrons and fleets? and that all of these things, we join issue with them. "Executive Encroachments." "When our opponents speak of 'encroachments' by the executive upon the authority of congress or the judiciary, apprehension of such views is Pension Order No. 78, issued under the authority of existing law. This order directed that hereafter any veteran of the military should be presumptively entitled to the pension of six dollars a month, given under the dependent pension law to those whose physical ability was compaired, whose labor has been decreased 50 per cent., and that by the time the age of 70 was reached the presumption should be that the physical ability would compete with the pension of the other members in each case. This order was made in the performance of a duty imposed upon the president by an act of congress, which required the president to govern the subordinates of the pension office in determining who are entitled to pensions. President Cleveland had already declared that 75 should be set as the age at which total disability should be conclusively presumed. Similarly President Clinton declared that half disability should be conclusively presumed. The regulation now in question, in the exercise of the same power, supplemented by President Cleveland and McKinley. "If our opponents come into power they can revoke this order and announce that they will treat the veterans of 62 to 70 as presumably in full bodily vigor and not entitled to the state that they intend to do this? If so, we accept the issue. If not, then we have the right to ask why they raise an issue which, when raised, they do not venture to meet." Criticisms of the administration's set-touch on the coal strike and the suit against the Northern Securities company are cited, and the president says: "Such mutually destructive criticisms furnish an adequate measure of the chance for coherent action or constructive legislation if our opponents should be given pow- Democratic Policies. Of the policies for which the democratic party professes to stand the president says: "So much for what our opponents openly or covertly advance in the way of an attack on the acts of the administration. When we come to consider the policy of which they prefer to stand we are met with the difficulty always arising when statements of policy are so made that they can be interpreted in different ways. On some of the vital questions that have confronted the American people in the last decade our opponents take the position that silence is the best possible way to convey their views. Their conditions are theிரs, the unrest attitude of partial acquiescence in what others have accomplished entities them to be made the custodians of the financial honor and commercial interests which they have but recently sought to ruin." He reviews the history of the republican party's efforts to establish a stable national currency, and says: "Until our opponents as a party explicitly adopt the views which we hold and upon which we have acted and are acting, in the matter of a sound currency, the only real way to keep the question from becoming insettied" is to keep the republican party in power. He points to the record of the administration in its dealings with both capital and labor, and carefully outlines each step of the anti-trust laws, and explains the need of such laws on the national statute books in opposition to the democratic claim of the common law, as developed, affords a common law against monopolies," and of this he says: "But there is no common law of the United States. Its rules can be enforced only by the state courts and officers. No action whatever under them. It was this fact, coupled with the inability of the states to control trusts and monopolies, which led to the passage of the federal statutes that the interstate commerce act; and it is only through the exercise of the powers conferred by these acts, and by the statutes that the interstate government acquires any jurisdiction over the subject. To say that action against trusts and monopolies should be limited to the application of the national government should be no action whatever to regulate them." The Tariff Issues. He charges the democrats with insin- cences DEFEATING A LITTLE POLICY, BAD HATE "Undoubtedly it would be possible at the present time to prevent any of the trusts remaining present, by increasing the expedient of making such a sweeping change in the tariff as to paralyze the industries of the country. The trusts would cease to prosper; but their smaller companies would be united. Unused workers would starve, while it would not pay the farmer to haul his produce to market. Continuing on the subject of the tariff, he says: "From time to time schedules must undoubtedly be rearranged and readjusted to the latest available data, but this can with safety be done only by those who are committed to the cause of the farmer. The stray that system would be to insure the prostration of business, the closing of factories, the impoverishment of the farmer, the distrust, and the starvation of the wage-workers." "It is a matter of regret that the protective tariff policy, which during the past year has been part of the very fiber of this country, is now accepted as definitely established. Surely we have a right to say that it has passed beyond the domain of theory, and a right to say that it has been prosperous, but those who at one time distrusted it on theoretic grounds, should now acquiesce in the results that have been proved over and over again by actual experience, and prosperous years this nation has ever seen; more prosperous years than any other nation has ever seen. Beyond question, it is not the American people who did not possess the necessary tariff, energy and business intelligence to turn their vast material resources to account. But it is no less true if the American people had not possessed us as a nation to make such good use of the individual capacities of our citizens, and the natural resources of our country, and the protective tariff, the protective tariff. During the last few years the merchant has seen the export trade of this country grow faster than ever, and the natural resources of our country cannot keep his factory running. It were not for the protective tariff. The wage-worker would do well to remember that if protection is 'robbery', and is to be paid the penalty, for either he will be turned adrift entirely, or his wages will be cut down to the starvation point. As conclusively shown in the listing of the prices of the purchase of the average wage received by the wage-worker has grown faster than the cost of living, and this in spite of the continual shortening of working hours. The accumulated productive of material benefit alike to workingman and employer as during the seven years that have just passed. "The farmer has benefited as much as the businessman, and the waser-worker. The most welcome and impressive fact established by the last century is that the wealth among all classes of our countrymen. The chief agencies in producing this industry are the development of manufactures, and the application of new inventions to universal use. The result has been an increasing interdependence of agriculture and manufactures." Republican Reciprocity. On the subject of reciprocity the president says: "Our opponents assert that they believe in reciprocity. Their nationalism has recently negotiated—that with Cuba—does not bear this assertion. Moreover, there can be no reciprocity unless there is a substantial difference in the economic compatibility. We are on record as favoring arrangements for reciprocal trade relations with other countries, these arrangements to be on an equitable basis of benefit for all countries. We are publican party stands pledged to every wise and consistent method of increasing the foreign commerce of the country. That it has kept its pledge proved by the fact that the complete trade of this country exceeds in volume the entire export and import trade of all the nations of the world, the United States has in addition agreed to a reciprocity trade of the world, standing first among the nations in this respect." Of the proposition to reduce the size of the army the president says: "If our opponents should come into power, we should arm below its present size without greatly impairing its efficiency and abandoning part of the national duty. If our opponents should come into power they would either have to treat this particular promise of the year 1904 as they now treat promises of the year 1904, or that they possessing no binding force; or else they would have to embark on a policy which would be ludicrous at the moment, and fraught with grave danger to the nation." He reviews the administration of the government finances and refutes the charge that the government is administered extravagantly with facts and figures, and "Do our opponents grudge the $50,000,000 paid for the Panama canal? Do they intend to cut down on the pensions to be paid to put a stop to the irrigation policy? or to the permanent census bureau? or to immigration inspection? Do they intend to abolish rural free delivery? or to the Alaskaan telegraph system? Do they intend to dismantle our coast fortifications? If there is to be a real and substantial cutting down in national expenditure, the Department of agriculture has done service of incalculable value to the farmers of this country in many different lines. Do our opponents intend to put a stop to the service? They can do it only by destroying the usefulness of the service itself." Philippine Independence. He refers to the promise in the democratic platform to give independence to the Philippine islands, and after speaking of the islands, he says, "It may well be that our opponents have no real intention of putting their promise into effect. If this is the case, if, in other words, they are insincere in the promise they make, it is only necessary to say again that they are insincere in the promise in one thing to deal with anything. The mere consciousness of broken faith would hamper them in continuing our policy in the Philippines, and that this policy can the honor of the country be maintained, or the interests of the islands subserved. If, on the other hand, our opponents came into power and the Philippines by giving their independence and withdrawing American control from the islands, the result would be a frightful, and potentially dangerous, situation in its larger aspect would amount to an international crime. Anarchy would follow; and the most violent anarchic forces would be directed partly against the civil government, particularly the military and educational civilization. Bloody conflicts would inevitably erase in the archipelago, and just as inevitably the islands would become the prey of the first power which in its own selfish interest would take the task we had cravenly abandoned. Conclusion. In conclusion the president says: "Our appeal is made to all good citizens who hold the honor and the interest of the nation." It is not to be said that the interest of theakes which are at stake, and upon which I have touched, are more than mere partisan issues, for they involve much that comes from the home to the individual, prior and individual, and the people. Overall, the people are as they actually are, good Americans should refuse, for the sake of the welfare of the nation, to change the national position of the nation, and to make the administration and legislation under which this country, during the last seven years, has grown so greatly in well-being at home and in the country, and the time of the nation of the earth abroad, do not stand inertly upon this record, do not use this record as an excuse for failure of effort to be made to the effect of the action we have done in the past as an incitement to do even better in the future. We believe that the progress of the nation is the measure of the progress we shall continue to make if the people again entrust the government of the nation to our hands. We are not only the ability to forward toward the goal of moral and social well-being for our own people, or just and fearless dealing toward all other peoples, in the interest not merely of this country, but of the people, which we are now carrying out, which it would not be disastrous to reverse or abandon. If our opinions should be diverse, our policies, when they would be branded with the brand of broken faith of false promise, of insincerity in word and word of the people, and of the stage of the nation with such a brand clinging to him, if, on the other hand, they should come in and reverse any or all of our policies, but just so much would be the nation. We are not only the people who make and as administrators of the law we have endeavored to do our duty in the interest of the people as a whole. We make the action of the people and do not, but to all good citizens. In whatever part of the land they dwell, and whatever may be their occupation or worldly condition. We have lived in the greatmost righteousness and for a national greatness we have faith to believe that our hands will be upheld by all who feel love of country and trust and uplifting the land and for obedience to the law; our government is a government of orderly liberty equally alien to tyranny and to anarchy; and its laws are subject to the law, alike by the people and by the public servants. We hold ever before us as the all-important end of policy and administration the reign of peace at home and throughout the world; of peace, which comes only by doing justice. Faithfully "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for September 18, 1904—"Israel Reproved." (Prepared by the "highway and Byway" Preacher.) (Copyright, 1904, by J. M. Edson.) LESSON TEXT. (Amos 5:4-15, Memory verses, 14, 15). 4. For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel: Seek ye Me, and ye shall live; 5. But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gigal, and pass not to Beersheba; for Gigal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to like fire. 6. Seek the Lord and ye shall live; leat He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. 7. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth. 8. Seek Him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poured them into the sea, and the bird is His name. 9. That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 10. They hate him that reubek in the gate, and they abhor him that speak uprightly. 11. Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat; ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall think wine of them. 12. By you make your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins; they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. 13. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 14. Seek good and not evil, that ye may live; and so the Lord, the God of Hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 15. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate; it may be that the Lord God of Hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. SCRIPTURAL SECTION.—The entire chapter should be read, and it would be well to read the nine short chapters of the book, also. OLDEN TEXT.—"Seek ye the Lord and ye shall live."—Amos 5:6. TIME.—Amos prophesied during the latter part of the reign of Jereboan II. (see Amos 12:1). Jonah, Hosea and Joel were contemporaneous with Amos. It was a period considerably later than that of the lessons which we have been having. PLACE.—Amos' home was at Tekoa, a few miles of Jerusalem, but his field of labor was in Israel, with Bethel as probable center. INTRODUCTORY NOTE.—Amos period was marked by great national prosperity (II. Kings 14:23-27), but great moral corruption. The book of Amos is made up of a series of discourses: (1) Concerning the Judah, Ch. 2:3; (2) Concerning Judah, 24:5; (3) Concerning Israel, 2:9-9:13. The lesson is taken from the fourth discourse against Israel. God and the Sinner. In the lesson to-day we have strikingly emphasized that which has been brought out in the lessons of the quarter, namely: (1) God's patient, persistent effort to turn His people from sin. (2) The certain punishment for sin, and (3) the equally certain reward of righteousness. If individuals are to be lost and nations destroyed, as the result of sin, it must be in spite of God's reproof, and appeal; it must be in the face of God's infinite love and His exceeding great mercy and saving grace. During the consummate wickedness of Ahab's reign, God sent His greatest prophet Elijah, to seek to turn the hearts of the people back to God. And when the whole world was lost in the darkness of sin then it was that God sent the Light, His Son, into the world to light every soul back to Him. Evidence of God's Love.—The rebukes and warning which God sent to His people through the prophets was one strong evidence of God's love and faithfulness. Rev. 3:19, Heb. 12:6. True love does not conduce or overlook sin, but on the contrary it reveals and rebukes it, that it may be put away. The proof of God's love to man is that He condemned sin and provided deliverance in Christ. The proof of man's love to God is that he receives God's rebuke and obeys him. God's Reproof.—God was qualified to rebuke Israel because (1) He was the All-knowing God. He knew all about the idolatrous and infiitious practices at Bethel, and Dan, and Gligal and Beersheba and Samaria (v. 5), and the corruption and oppression which prevailed (vs. 7, 10-12). Man may sin and hide it from the eyes and knowledge of men, but he cannot so do with God. Ps. 9:5; Jer. 16:17; 32:19; Prov. 5:21; Job 34:21. God saw every wicked act. The hatred in the heart against any who dared to denounce evil (v. 10); the oppression of the poor, the extortion, the luxury (v. 11), the judicial corruption (v. 12). (2) He was the All-Powerful God. (Vs. 8-9). He who rebuked Israel was the Creator, the Ruler of day and night, the Giver of sunshine and rain, bringing life and sustenance to man, the destroyer of the wicked and the preserver of the righteous. What weight has rebuke, if behind it there is not the power to execute judgment. The God who rebukes is the God who is able to punish. (3) He was the Gracious God. No matter how steeped in sin, if Israel would only seek Him He would be gracious unto them (v. 15). Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."—Rom. 5:20; Ps. 86:15; 111:4. (4) He was the Appealing God. Four times over in the 12 verses of the lesson He pleads with Israel to seek Him, and promising abundant blessing if they would. (5) He was the Warning and Avenging God. Note vs. 5, 6, 11. The punishment that is to fall is captivity and the consuming fire of war, pestilence and famine. The only way of escape was to seek the Lord. Life could be had in no other way. Ram's Horn Arrow Points. Hope is to the heart what the eye is to the hand. The tree that will not yield fruit must be used for fuel. The devil's traps are never set in the middle of God's road. The prisoner is no nearer liberty because his cage is glided. The best doors to enter are those that open with a push instead of a pull. Swallowing diamonds has been the cause of much spiritual indigestion. Christ takes the sting from death, but He does not take the poison from sin. S. L. PICKETT.

KRAMER The Famous Cascarets Man, Who Invests a Thousand Dollars Every Day for Newspaper Advertising. THE young man whose portrait is printed above is a living, breathing illustration of the success which can be obtained by practical faith and persistent and judicious investment in newspaper advertising. Mr. Kramer, only a few years ago, without capital, started, in a modest way, advertising in newspapers the merit of No-To-Bac, the original guaranteed tobacco-habit cure, building up dollar by dollar an enormous mail order business for that successful specific. His original line, "Don't tobacco spit and smoke your life away," through the medium of newspapers, became known throughout the English-speaking world, and brought in unprecedented results. The secret of his advertising method is "reinvestment," which is practically "doubling his bet" from day to day. When Mr. Kramer ran his first little advertisement ten years ago his capital was less than $100. He wrote the order on a rented typewriter operated by himself, and his advertising appropriation was $5.00. Three years ago he originated the famous Cascarets Candy Cataric that "work while you sleep," and this year he employs over 200 people, including twenty stenographers and typewriters and a system of ten graphophones. His daily newspaper advertising investment is over $500,000 a year, and he is counted as one of the greatest practical, because successful, authorities on the science of advertising in the world. His delight is to see the working of the enormous advertising machine which he set in motion a few years ago, and his ambition is best illustrated by an expression made use of to a friend recently. He said: "My boy, we'll get rich when we make money faster than we can spend it for advertising." Besides the No-To-Bac and Cascarese enterprises, Mr. Kramer scored another great business success in the Magno-Mud baths of Indiana Mineral Springs. Ind., the only place where this wonderful treatment for rheumatism can be obtained. The place, soon after No-To-Bac began securing recognition, was a mere wilderness in the hills of Indiana, but nature had provided the material, mud and lithia water, for the cure, and Mr. Kramer appreciated its possibilities at first sight. To-day there is at the Indiana Mineral Springs a $250,000 plant of hotels, bathhouses and cottages, electric-lighted, steam-heated, with beautiful park surroundings, patronized by the very best people of Chicago and St. Louis, as well as thousands of prominent guests from all other parts of the country. Mr. Kramer is only 36 years old and his energy and vitality have not yet reached their climax. Many leading business men of America have been glad to join in his enterprises, displaying the highest confidence in the great future which this young man's remarkable advertising genius and capacity for work will bring forth. CLAIMS CREDIT FOR HEIR. As Recompense for Her Advice, Dr Mary Walker, Asks Czar to Stop War with Japan. Dr. Mary Walker is claiming credit for the fact that the czar's new baby is a son instead of a daughter. The doctor says if she had not volunteered her advice there would have been another grand duchess in the palace instead of a czarevitch. All that Dr. Walker wants of the czar in return for the favor she has done is that he stop the war with Japan. "Give Jane the harbor," Dr. Walker has written from Oswego to the czar. She does not specify which harbor, but pretty nearly any harbor will do, she thinks. The following is a copy of an open letter Dr. Walker has written to the czar: "To the Czar of All Russia—Dear Sir: In congratulating yourself and the mother of your son, I most respectfully and earnestly request you to make peace with Japan. "But for my professional advice you would not now be the father of a son heir. The world will rejoice and say that you would gladly have done this one year since as the price of the assurance of a son. "I did not give information that has resulted so gratifyingly for the purpose of asking a reward of any nature, but circumstances are such at the present time that I expect you to grant therein above asked action. "MARY E. WALKER, M. D." HAS MONSTER PIGEON FARM Pennsylvanian Has 10,000 Birds Arrangements Perfect and Success Follows Experiment. E. C. Cummings, of Worcester township, is conducting a pigeon farm on which there are now 10,000 birds. Mr. Cummings says that his is the largest lot of birds that are kept housed on one farm. He changed from chickens to pigeons, as the latter are 50 per cent. more profitable. There are four houses on the farm, two 100 feet long and two 300 feet long. The buildings are heated by hot water, but cold houses are to be tried. The houses have cement floors and are divided into pens, with capacities varying from 25 to 75 pairs. The greatest care is exercised to keep the farm in the best sanitary condition, the houses being thoroughly cleaned weekly. Two men are required for the purpose and when not New Kind of Rubber. During the past few months discovery has been made that there are in the interior of Brazil vast forests of trees from which can be produced a high grade of rubber known as "manicoba." The area is said to be very large, but cannot be defined, as the region has not been fully explored. The attention called to the first discovery has led to further exploration, with the result that from time to time comes notice of other sections where like trees occur in profusion. The output of engaged in cleaning operations one waters and one feeds the birds. Carbolic acid and coal oil are used for spraying and these two agencies keep the birds healthy. About 500 squabs are sold weekly, the young birds finding a ready market in New York at five dollars a dozen. The varieties raised here are homers, dragons, runts and crosses. Some of the runts measure 40 inches from tip to tip of wings, while there are many measuring 35 inches. The farm covers 16 acres and represents an investment of $25,000. SUMMER GIRL'S FAILURE. Rigged Herself Up to Make a Hit, But Her Finery All --- Once upon a time there was a girl who decided that she would be the real thing in the summer girl line, relates a St. Paul Globe writer. Before the snow melted she was planning a wardrobe that would bring down any summer youth from a millionaire prospective to a Dry Goods clerk. She embroidered all her shirt waists by hand, and made seven sets of turn-overs before the summer styles were settled, only to learn that they were wearing 1830 yokes. She bought a white silk drop skirt for her mull dress, and then her poor old mother had to go without a new summer hat so that daughter could have the real thing in a lingerie hat to go with the silk drop skirt. Father was driven to the verge of nervous prostration by the domestic discussions of skirt yokes and the best thing in color combinations, and brother Jimmy lost his half-holiday chasing down cerise near-silk when she wanted cherry lining for her lawn dress. The clerks at the stores all got to know, her—she had so many goods exchanged—and when at last she pulled out for a Jersey town with two trunks and a dress suit case her old father said: "This is Heaven," and her mother stopped taking nerve cure. But the girl found she was up against it after all. Her dresses faded and drooped in the sea air and so did her hair. Sitting up nights sewing had made her sallow, and she squinted from doing fine embroidery. The girl who made a hit with the few summer boys in sight wore the same linen dress three days running and had only one party dress to her name. But she had the real thing in eyes and dimples. So the girl who had meant to be It said she hated the seashore, and packed back to town to see a beauty doctor. Moral!

And ants—gee whiz! they are here by the millions—red ants with jaws like crocodiles, black ants with a stinger sharper than any bee that ever manufactured honey, brown ants, gray ants, ants with wings, and ants with nothing but a determination to make life miserable for a soldier. They build nests in your hair, pull your ears, fill your nose, crawl over your shirt and under your shirt, and, in fact, they get in your shoes, torture you in the daytime, sleep with you at night, and eat with you at dinner-time.

Peculiar English Custom. The most of the English usages some of us copy, and the rest of us can get used to, but there is a feature of formal dining there which is different. There are no general introductions at an English dinner, or even at a house party in the country. If all the guests are acquainted there is no need to introduce them, but if they are strangers they must remain so, or trust to chance or personal magnetism for making acquaintanceships. Every man is introduced at a dinner party to the lady he is to escort to the table. There it stops. It is a custom which has some close relation to the experience of an ancient race through many centuries. I leave the reader to analyze it.—Harper's Magazine. Origin of a Modern Cheex. A man named Adams has been investigating the mysteries of the pyramids and monuments of Egypt and has found the phrase "Hip-hip-hurrah" among the early hieroglyphics of that country. The only consolation derivable from this remarkable discovery, the London Telegraph observes, "is the argument that may reasonably be deduced that the presence of these British words among the etymological treasures of Pharaoh land give us a priori right to the whole of the Nile valley. And this theory is strengthened by the fact that, according to Mr. Adams, the hieroglyphic "Hip-hip-hurrah" means, when translated, "On, on, to plunder."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Game Pie.

CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears The Signature Of In Use For Char. H. Hitchens. Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought THE CENTAUR COMPANY, TT MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. MAKING TOO LIGHT OF IT. Drug Clerk Who Needed to Learn the First Principles of His Business. "I notice," said the chemist to his assistant, in a Smith's Weekly yarn, "that a gentleman came in with a prescription, and that you took it and gave him the stuff in about three minutes. What do you mean by that? It was only a little carolic acid and water," replied the assistant, "I simply had to pour a few drachms of acid into the bottle, and fill it up with water." "Never mind if you had only to do that," the chemist declared. "Don't you know that every prescription must take at least half an hour to prepare, or the customer will tell you it's not getting anything for his money?" "When a prescription, for salt and water or peppermint and cough sirup is handed to you, you must look doubtfully, as if it were very hard to make up. Then you were very hard to me, and you both read it and snake out of me. After that back to the customer and ask him if he wants it to day. When he says yes you answer that you'll make a special effort. "Now, a patient appreciates a prescription that he's had so much trouble over, and when he takes it he derives some benefit, and when you ask any more of that three-minute prescription my boy, if you want to become a first-class chemist." HINT ON THE SAFE SIDE. Loser by Fire Thought Iced Drinks Should Have Hand-Grenades for Chasers. "Fire insurance contains many surprises to the lay mind," said Marshall S. Driggs, president of the board of underwriters, author of the book "Yellow Jacket," who came to me for a policy on some houses which he had just acquired almost refused to credit our statements in explaining the high rate. Ice houses are extra hazardous risks because they are liable to spontaneous combustion. It happened in case that the applicant received a telegraph wire with a full illumination some matter. He was informed that his new properties had burned to the ground. It chanced to be a very hot day and we adjourned for refreshments. "I will have a tumbler full of cracked ice to a pint of Apollinaris, said to the waiter. "Why not a hot lemonade?" suggested the stricken ice house man. "With the thermometer 99!" I protested. "He waved his hand. "Consider the risk!" he said. "The fire rate on ice is six, seven, even ten per cent, per annum. At least, if you are going to risk spontaneous incineration, you had better drink a few hand grenades for a chaser." Not Far Off. Teacher—Now, then, what do we mean by composition?

PINKHAM: I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured me entirely of my troubles. "My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women." — Mrs. ELIZABETH H.

'All that come to the World's fair need this line. Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 30—Gov. Jeff Davis spoke to a very large audience, a majority of them being farmers from the surrounding country, at the courthouse on the Arkansas side this afternoon. It was one of his characteristic red-hot efforts. Among other things, the governor declared himself in favor of a separation of the school fund of the state, the Negroes to receive for their schools only the taxes paid by themselves. He said that every time you educate a "Nigger" you spoil a good field hand. The speaker warned the Colored men present that if they ever tried to force social equality they would be a lot of "dead Niggers," perhaps, but never social equals. "Every true southern white would kill a Nigger buck like he would a mad dog," he said, "if he should offer to escort his daughter to church," and he declared that he would do so himself, even though he were governor. Let the Negro democrats see how this will set upon their gall. The Douglass Club. The Douglass club has changed officers. Mr. Charles Norcise, president; Mr. John C.
