Cole, who has been sick for the last few days, is now convalescent. The Ex-Detective, Andrew Gordon. If all reports of the daily papers be true, Andrew Gordon, ex-detective, has been dismissed from the force. We wish to say that we are not bias in the matter at all. When he was first placed upon the force he did good work; it was then that the Palladium sang his praises, when he was hunting down loafers and dudes hanging around the corners waiting for school girls. We praised him to the highest extent, but when in our judgment, he did things that were unbecoming a detective we gave our disapproval, showing not only to him, but to the public and Chief Desmond, that we did not approve. Several times he has crossed the Palladium. We spoke out our opinion CURL RL-I-CU A CURE FOR CURLS CURL-I-CURE M.

Attractiveness will contribute much to your broadly against him. During the last two or three weeks we have spoken in open denunciation of him, and his method. Our advice to him is that he is talking too much. He has been dismissed from the force. Why not take his medicine like a man. A wedding quite unique for Plattsburg in that all the parties were Colored, occurred at the Methodist Episcopal personage at S o'clock last evening. The groom was Abraham Jefferson Swain, the Chariotte street baker who has become highly respected during his residence here. Mr. Swain is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, and was one of the Colored men who supported Roosevelt at San Juan Curl-I-Cure is an ideal, safe preparation and makes kurtly, curly hair straight.

Positively nothing detracts so much from your appearance as short, matted unattractive curly hair. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1905. Hill. The bride was Miss Charlotte Harvey, of St. Louis, Mo., who came on from her southern home yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Durkee attended the happy couple. After the ceremony the party repaired to Mr. Swain's residence, where a jolly company of friends had assembled, and bountiful refreshments were served. A large number of presents indicate the interest felt in the newly-wedded couple.—From Plattsburg Daily Press. Webster Groves Notes. On the 25th of November Mr. Luther Pierson, beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Pierson, of 56 Lincoln avenue, departed this life after a painful illness of two weeks. The funeral services took place at the residence Monday. Rev. Gibry, pastor of the Elliot Avenue church, officiated. The floral offerings were many and appropriate. Mr. Luther leaves to mourn his departure a beloved mother and father, five sisters, two brothers and a large circle of friends. Rev. Purnelli preached a very touching sermon Sunday at 11 a. m. Thes. 12:13. Mr. E. Johnson had quite a success in hunting last week. Mrs. Comouth, one of our old residents, has returned. Rev. Colbert preached at the A. M. E. church. A Newspaper Man Who Attempted to Correct the Morals of Another. A few days ago a newspaper man, in speaking of ex-Detective Andy Gordon's case, said to a citizen: "You are no better than Gordon." At this the citizen was almost dumfounded, and almost fainted. And the words he used to that newspaper man were enough to shock the modesty of the Devil in Hell, but under the circumstances the newspaper man sneaked off grinning like a chesat. The moral is: "If you live in a glass house, don't thrown stones, for if you do your windows will get smashed." S. L. Pickett. Drugs fresh daily. Don't pass his door—2601 Lawton avenue. LINCOLN CHICAGO FOOTBALL LINCOLN CHICAGO FOOTBALL The football teams met on Thursday at Handlan's spark. This was as close a football game as ever we witnessed between any teams. In the start the Chicago team had things their own way, but in due time the Lincoln's got down to business, and contested for every inch of the ground—yet the Chicagoans were sure of victory. We spoke to Mr. I. W. Spencer, manager of the Chicago team, and he was all smiles. About this time the two teams were contending, and the ball was caught by Mr. James A. Sanders, of the Lincoln team, and he started on a home run with the ball, and at his heels were nine Chicagoans, after him like greyhounds after a deer, but with no success. He made the home run. We have seen men run when scared, when bullets were whistling around their heads; we have seen men break for liberty from officers of the law; we have seen men run races for large sums of money, but none of them equaled the run made by Mr. James A. Sanders, a member of the Lincoln team. After they had been contesting for every inch of the ground, and this successful run caused the Chicagoans to lose their usual vim, yet they were not willing to give up. Mr. I. W. Spencer, manager of the Chicago team, was a little cast down, but said Sanders, by chance or luck, changed the whole thing. The victory was declared 11 to 6 in favor of the Lincolns. We can but say to Brother Spencer, "Cheer up. Meet them again, and perhaps Sanders will not be so fleet of foot." Mr. West, coach and manager of the Lincoln team, is a pleasant gentleman. He is cool and calm. While we knew he was glad, he made no outward rejoicing. Both teams parted as true gentlemen, with no ill-will toward each other, but all admitted that it was James A. Sanders that caused the crash. WEST END EUREKA CLUB At Stolle's Hall. We visited the West End Eureka club, and as we approached the door the doorkeeper said: "This way. We are glad to see you." Once in, the reporter began to sharpen his pencil. The hall was crowded, and Prof. Lucky and D. R. Russell seemed to be in full charge. We noticed most all new faces. The little lady in blue, who lives at 2121 Walnut street, was certainly sweet to look upon. Mrs. Lee Jefferson, of 5314 Waldemere avenue, was dressed as a queen. Miss Hattle Mitchell, of 901 Iron street, was an angel from the realms above—to us. We will look for her again. We were struck with astonishment as we beheld Mrs. Wallace, of 2316 Walnut street. Her dress and every appearance gave evidence that she would soon leave us. She, in our vision, was an angel from above—the finest of the fine. Mr. and Mrs. George Bullock were there. We did not see her, but he said that she was there. Well, we don't tell all. Mrs. Jennie Gamble and lady friend were there, seemingly enjoying themselves—2231 Scott avenue. Also Misses Starks and Townsend. Miss Georgia Gordon, of 3964 West P. W., took the prize in dress and figure. Miss Stella Jones and Miss Ossie Fettes, of 2121 Walnut street, were dressed in blue, looking as lovely as bluebirds. Miss Rose Payne and her two sisters, of 2605 Morgan street, were having a good time. Mrs. W. Lange, of 815 Lucas avenue, who has just returned from a visit to Vicksburg, where she went to see her mother, with her daughter, Asle Johnson, were at the hall having a good time. Next week we will give a full account of the different churches. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum tor Female Trouble. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents.

Last Thursday, at Handlan's park, the Summer high school and the Louisville high school teams played a very nice football game. The teams seem to be about evenly matched, and the game was well played, so they say—The Palladium man was not present—and the report comes from those in authority. We did not have the 35 cents, and therefore could not get in. The manager of the Lincoln Institute team sent us an admission ticket, and we were enabled to get in. Prof. Campbell had his team under control, but they could not beat the Louisville eleven. To Our Patrons. We will be compelled to call upon you for the next two weeks for what you owe us. Why should we owe anyone when our liabilities are not over $90, and our advertisers and subscribers owe us over $400? We do ask that you will do your common duty to The Palladium that we may keep to the front. Miss Ernestine Dyer, one of the Lincoln Institute graduates, who is a teacher in Potosi, Mo., is here on a few days' vacation, visiting her sister, Mrs. Jane Anderson, of 324 South Compton avenue. She attended the football game Thanksgiving with Dr. Thomas Stewart of South Fourteenth street, as escort.

LOUIS The St. Louis Terminal Association Put Upon the Defensive. ORDER BY JUDGE FINKELNBURG Must Show Cause Within Thirty Days Why The Alleged Monopoly Should Not Be Dissolved—Points In the Petition and Defense. St. Louis, Dec. 1.—After more than two months' preparation, assisted by former Attorney-General Edward C. Crow, Chester H. Krum and Charles Nagel, United States District Attorney D. P. Dyer filed a bill in equity in the United States circuit court to dissolve the alleged bridge combine, which the government charges is throttling the commerce of St. Louis. Judge Finkenburg issued an order immediately following the filing of the bill directing the Terminal association to appear before the federal tribunal within 30 days and show cause why the alleged monopoly should not be dissolved. Points in Government Petition. In the bill filed by United States District Attorney Dyer he asks that the alleged pool of the two bridges be declared void, and that consequent violations of the Sherman anti-trust act, passed July 2, 1890, be discontinued. That the 14 railroads which are said to control the Terminal association be enjoined from voting stock of the Merchants' railway or the Merchants' bridge or the Wiggins Ferry Co., or any of the railway companies which are said to be in the Terminal Railway association. That all agreements for the operation of the Merchants' and Eads bridges as non-competing lines be declared void, and that all of the railroads connected with the Terminal association prohibit the Terminal association or its stockholders from holding any of their stock. That the dissolution of the two bridges be effected by a permanent infunction. That the Terminal association forfeit the Merchants' bridge to the government, in accordance with the act of congress passed July 2, 1890. Terminal's Line of Defense. A Terminal director maintains that the association is not a combine, but an independent organization. That it does not own the Eads bridge nor the Wiggins ferry. That the charges are less and the conveniences greater under the present system than they would be if the association were dissolved. That, even if the Terminal were a combine, it could not be called a combine in restraint of trade, but a combine to the advantage of trade. That the Terminal system affords St. Louis the best railroad facilities of any city in the United States. That separation of the properties would be injurious to St. Louis, and that this affords conclusive proof as to the beneficial character of the consolidated system. THANKSGIVING IN LONDON The American Colony Celebrated in the Time-Honored Manner With a Banquet. London, Dec. 1.—Thanksgiving day was celebrated in London in the time-honored manner by a reunion of leading Americans at a banquet in the grand hall of the Hotel Cecil. Among those present were Ambassador Reid, Capt. C. H. Stockton, naval attache of the American embassy and Mrs. Stockton, Maj. John H. Beason, the military attache; Delencey Jay, private secretary to Ambassador Reid and Richard Westacott, deputy American consul-general at London, who represented the consulate. Other Americans present included John L. Griffiths, consul at Liverpool; Lord Fairfax, Will I Buchanan, Douglas Slayden, Col. Millard Hunsicker and Mrs. Hunsicker and J. A. Richards. In all, over 400 Americans were in attendance. The guests of honor included Walter Vaughan Morgan, lord mayor of London, and Mrs. Hornby Steer, the lady mayorex; Randolphe Lemieux, solicitor general for Canada; Sir Joseph Cockfield Dimsdale and Lady Dimsdale, Hon. Alban Gibbs and Sir Henry Edmund Knight. TWO LIVES FOR A DOG'S Black Arkansas Shoots Two In the Field Because They Killed His Dog. Hope, Ark., Dec. 1.—Seven miles east of here, in Nevada county, Squire Smith, a negro, went to the field where John and Count Cleghorn, white, were working, and shot them both, killing Count at once. John died in few hours from his wounds. A few days ago the Cleghorns killed the negro's dog, and he said at the time that if he could find out who did it he would kill them. Constitutionality Questioned. Topeka, Kas., Dec. 1.—The constitutionality of the Kansas board of railway commissioners, its judicial, legislative and executive powers has been attacked by the Union Pacific railroad in a bill of procedure filed in the United States circuit court in this city. Meriwether Court-Martial Ended. Annapolis, Md., Dec. 1.—Except for the announcement of the verdict after it shall have been passed upon by the secretary of the navy, the Meriwether court-martial, in so far as the public is concerned, is at an end. RED-WINGED SEA ROBINS. They Are Among the Most Curious and Interesting Fish Along Our Shores. I suppose the peculiarity which would be noticed first about the sea-robin, grunter, or gurpard, as he is variously called, would be his clumsy shape. The head is large and deep in comparison with the body. One of our observing young folks, looking at him alive in his tank of the United States fish commission, Washington, says St. Nicholas, would be apt to exclaim: "Oh, see, he has little hook-claws which help him crawl along!" Sure enough, just in front of the pectoral or side fins are three little, finger-like processes on each side, which are used to stir up weeds and sand, and to rake around among the pebbles and rout out the small animals upon which the sea-robin feeds in its native waters. While doing this it seems to be crawling along over the bottom by hooking these peculiar claws into the sand. Sea-robin feeds on small crabs, fish, shrimps, and other diminutive animals, which they find in among the loose stones. In Europe all the gurnard family of fishes are eagerly sought, as they find a ready sale in the fish market. They attain a length of two feet and a weight of eleven pounds. Our species of the sea-robin, a cousin of the European variety, is found on our northern coast, and is taken in great numbers in the pound nets along Vineyard sound, where they spawn during the summer months. They are much esteemed for the table, being one of the most delicate of the edible fishes. The flesh is firm, snow white and hard to distinguish from that of the kingfish. The American sea-robin is 15 to 18 inches long and weighs from one and one-fourth to two pounds. When taken from the water they grunt quite loudly, and if placed on the ground give a little hop forward of a few inches, grunting as they do. This grunting sound can be heard quite plainly if one is in a boat lying quietly in shallow water near where they are. The head is sheathed with bony plates and armed with sharp points, which are rather hard to distinguish at first, as they lie quite flat against it. When caught they erect all their spines and inflict very painful wounds on those who try to handle them. The pectoral fins are a little more than half as long as the body, and may be extended like a fan when in use, or folded quite close together when on the bottom, thus giving them the name of "butterfly fish." The rays of the tail may also be much extended to look like a Japanese fan. The color of this peculiar fish is a brownish yellow over the back and sides and cream white below. The pectoral fins are deep orange color, with a blackish marking toward the tips, crossed all over with little dark brown lines and edged with light yellow-orange color. The lower jaw and sides are light orange-yellow; the eye is a beautiful turquoise blue, edged with a vein of brassy yellow. Underhanded Method. "George," sharply demanded Mrs. Ferguson, "what was it you cut out of this paper?" "It was this, Laura," responded Mr. Ferguson, promptly producing the clipping from his vest pocket and handing it over. It was an article on the wastefulness and extravagance of housewives, and he knew, the designing wretch, that in no other way could he have succeeded in bringing it to Mrs. Ferguson's attention. —Chicago Tribune.

NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Florida, 6 each.....1 Washington, D.

(3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide 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. To The Public. To The Public.

For the past ten days the Palladium man has been under a cloud and not being well, we thought that he would have to go to the wall. We appealed to a few men whom we thought were our friends yet to no avail. Yet we are very lonely and that was brought about by our confidence in men, and if it had not been for our secretary this deception would have been continually practiced upon us. Yet we hope to extricate ourselves from the trouble that is now over the Palladium. Young married women ought not to make it a business of going around talking to married men about what their wives have done before they were married. Men who court women and marry, should at least accept the woman as she is and not listen to anything told them by men or women about their wives whom they have married. For if most men's past lives were unraveled no decent woman or even the devil would have them. The Palladium man knows whereof he speaks. We noticed last week that in connection with the Gordon case that Prof. John B. Vashon's name was mixed up with that of Mr. George B. Vashon. We knew at once it was a mistake, for our John is a society man, and not a politician, like that awful George B. Vashon. We trust that officers of orders and societies will remember one thing, and that is if a member dies in any family the relatives have the right of saying who the undertaker shall be. No order or society should ignore that right.

An establishment most worthy of praise and one that is a credit to the proprietor, is the undertaking establishment of W. C. Gordon, now located at 2651 Morgan street, but formerly of 2218 Morgan street. Although we have had cause to praise Mr. Gordon in the past, we have still a greater one now, as we pass from room to room, and look with astonishment at the wonderful sights which meet our gaze. He has been located at his present place of business five weeks last Wednesday, and during this short time about three thousand people have visited the building and feasted for a time upon the grandeur of the place. Again your visit is made enjoyable by the friendliness and courtesy shown you by your escort on your tour through this palace. The entire building is composed of 23 rooms, namely: Trimming room, morgue, receiving room, chapel, display parlors, carriage room, both a private and public office, and various other rooms. On entering the building you are first shown the private office of Mr. Gordon, which has every possible convenience that an office could require. In the rear of the offices is the stable and carriage room. Ordinarily to hear the words stable and carriage room, they would have little or no meaning to us, but after visiting the said rooms of this establishment it is evident even to the casual observer that they carry with them their meaning, to the lover of beautiful conveyances and fine horses. The morgue, too, has its points of interest, one of which is the operating table, one of the most interesting of its kind. It can be lowered or raised to suit the convenience of the party working. The next room in routine is the trimming room. The name itself is suggestive to its use. This room leads into the receiving room, where the corpse is taken preparatory to going into the chapel. The chapel is a large room, which is noted for its seating capacity, and the beauty of its walls. It seats about 200 persons comfortably. The walls are THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM J. Mrs. Katie L. Boswell, W. P. of Sina Temple No. 124, and also president of the St. Louis Home and Foreign Charitable Club No. 1, at the First Baptist church, Fourteenth street and Clark avenue, is preparing to give a concert, Thursday evening, December 7.

The display parlors are perhaps the most interesting, for here we see the different styles of caskets, for young and old, ranging in prices from $190 to $500. These rooms of which I have spoken with the exception of the offices and carriage room are found in the remodeled part of the building. This does not, however, include all the rooms, for let us remember that the living must be provided for as well as the dead. The second floor of the new portion of the building is furnished and fitted up with all conveniences. Here we find the parlor, dining room, kitchen, sleeping apartments and bath, all of which, I could write of for hours, but should I give vent to this feeling, it would not be so interesting when you make your four, and see for yourself as others have done. The Palladium assures you that you will be treated royally, and it will be a visit that you will never regret. This is only a very brief description of the building. NOTICE. We see that Colored Citizen of Memphis, Tenn., has taken the Bluff City News to time, and it charges the editor, either with not being able or too lazy to write an editorial. We can only say go in Brother Milton, as we believe in holding up your side. Editor Chambers if you can, you ought to hold up yours. We have three papers published in St. Louis. We wish there was one in St. Louis that could make us get a hump on ourselves. The Palladium stands in St. Louis, "King of all he surveys," and they dare not think bad of us for fear we will hear it, so if anything similar should occur in either of the other St. Louis papers about the Palladium, the next week with the assistance of the Palladium searchlight and scrap book, you would be able to see through them, so we say, "Lay on McDuff and damned be he who first cries enough." We keep on hand several wonderful remedies. Call and see—the best in the market to remove smallpox pits if applied as directed.

Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. President Roosevelt has decided in favor of a lock canal at Panama with a 30-foot channel. Secretary Root has informed the Americans on the Isle of Pines that the island belongs to Cuba. More agents and collectors are wanted for The St. Louis Palladium. Apply at office, 2617 Lawton avenue. Mrs. Purnell would like for her friends to call at her cafe, 6100 Colorado avenue, more often. Horace Vose, of Providence, R. I., sent a 31-pound turkey to President Roosevelt for his Thanksgiving dinner. Harry Hubbard, an alleged ex-convict, has been arrested in Duquoin, Ill., charged with passing bogus checks in East St. Louis. Don't forget that Mrs. L. H. Fields is still in the hair-dressing business at 903 Kansas street. She deserves your patronage.

When you have reached the third floor of the building, you behold beautiful roses looking as natural as if they could be lifted from the walls. Really, the work is beyond comparison.

V. 7. “Sanbaliat:” The leader of the Samaritan community. “Tobiah:” An Ammonite. “The Arabians:” Arabs of the desert. “Ashdodites:” Philistines from Ashdod, a city on the Mediterranean coast. All these natural foes of one another united for the purpose of attacking the Jews. When any good work is undertaken Satan’s allies for the time unite to re- sist. it. V. 8 “Conspired:” Meaning “to breathe together,” as singers may be said to breathe in unison. It is the word used for any secret treachery. “To come and fight:” They arranged to make an attack upon the city. “To hinder it:” Rey. Ver., “cause con- fusion therein:” To terrify the timid, and discourage those already disaf- fected. V. 9. “Made our prayer... set a watch:” Work and prayer were united, as the blades cf a pair of scissors. Watchfulness without prayer is presumption, and prayer without watchfulness is mockery. “Because of them:” Rather, “over against them.” Opposite to the point at which attack was looked for. V. 10. Nehemiah enumerates his ‘three sources of discouragement: (1) ‘Workers became weary and disheart- ened, or were in secret sympathy with the enemy (v. 10). (2) The enemy Doasted, threatened, and planned to surprise them (¥. 11). (3) Jews of neighboring towns came repeatedly with tales of the plots of the enemy, ‘and tried to draw away their towns- men who were assisting. (V. 12). V. 11. “Our adversaries said,” ete. The plan of the adversaries seems to have been to watch and surprise, rath- er than to make an open attack. V. 12. “Which dwelt... said:” ‘Those Jews who resided in neighbor- ing towns came repeatedly to tell workers in Jerusalem of the threats and plans of the enemy, and to ex- hort their fellow-townsmen to return for the protection of their own homes. V. 13. “Therefore:” So many dif ficulties besct Nehemiah that he was compelled in part to suspend his building operations, and now showed his ability as a general in preparing for defense. V. 14. “Looked:” Inspected the ‘guards. “Rose up:” Stood to order ‘the forces, as he saw the enemy ap- ‘proaching. “Remember the Lord:” ‘Nehemiah would have his people ‘rely wholly upon God, and for the present occasion the thought that God Is “great and terrible” to His-focs and the foes of His people would be @ most stimulating one. ” Y. 15. “When our enemifes heard," ete. The enemies, finding themselves unable to take the city unawares, seemed for a time to abandon their purpose. “God had brought thefr counsel to naught: Vain are the counsels of those who plot against God (Ps. 2:1-4). V. 16. “My servants:” ‘The gov: ernor’s bodyguard, which probably consisted of a large company of slaves he had brought from Susa. V. 18. “Sword girded by his side:” This weapon was used for fighting an enemy at close range, and could be borne at the side, and yet not hinder the work of the builders V. 19. “Nobles and rulers:” He seems to have given places of promi nence to recognized leaders among the people, and to haveendeavored toarouse the patriotism and keep up the energy of those that might encourage their followers. Wi, 20, “In what place . . . rasort thither:” The agreement was that when the trumpet should be Jeard, work was to stop immediately and all gather to the point whence it sound ed, prepared for battle. A Divine promise was connected with the use of the trumpet in batile (Num. 10:4) Its blast, therefore, reminded the com a cea a ee ia gee RELATED OF RACES. ‘The Japanese lover, instead of an en- gagement ring, may give his future bride 2 piece of beautiful silk to be worn asa sash. ‘A Chinese gentleman often presents his intended bride with a pair of geese, and they are regarded as emblems of conjugal fidelity. Roumanian hospitality knows no limits. “I have not even a bite left for a guest,” is the bitterest complaint a housewife can make. In Gatway some of the fishermen con- sider it go unlucky to see a fox that they will not put to sea if they notice one while gving to their boats. Belgian women take a pride in doing their own work. If asked why they en- gage no help, they are very apt to reply that servants are kept only by lazy, incompetent, extravagant, or sick per- sons. ‘The women of Sumatra wear the costliest dresses that are known, many of them being made of pure gold and silver. After the metal is mined and smelted, it is formed into a fine wire, which is woven into cloth, and after- wards used for dresses. ‘A Japanese auction is a solemn affair. ‘The public do not call out their bids, but write their names, together with the amount they are willing to pay, on slips of paper, and put these ina box. They are looked through, and the article is awarded to the person who has made the highest offer. It is considered correct in China not to have the slightest recollection of anything that occurs during the period of mourning. A Chinaman who has passed 100 days in mourning for his mother will deem it bad breeding to remember anything durmg so sacred ‘atime. SELDOM SEEN.

I might have begun to treat it sooner, that’s all the mistake I made in the matter. But I found tho root of the difficulty and I picked out the right remedy without the aid of a doctor. “Te was realy all in my blood. 1 frst felt a twinge in my left foot and ankle iu the middle of last January, following exposure to cold. I realized 1 had rhou- matism and I knew that really comes from bad blood. Cold simply develops it. ‘Then my hands and feet were cold and clammy eyen in hot weather, and numb a great part of the time. I con- claded that my blood was thin and poor aud the circulation sluggish. “After a time my feet and ankles swelled so badly that I could ouly tic my shoes half way up. My legs swelled terribly and I could walk only a short distance before giving out completely. “When I read of the cures of all kinds of blood diseases, that had been effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I was con- [Yineed that they were just the remedy for my case, and so it proved. I could see thiat they were benefiting mo before Thad quite used up the first box. ‘The improvement was decidedly marked af- ter I had taken two boxes. Three more boxes restored my hands and feet and legs to uatural size and feeling and then I stopped taking medicine aud have since been perfectly well.”” | Mr. BF. LeRoy Hoar lives at No. 192 Constitution strect, Bristol. RI. “Any one can get convincing evidence that Dz.

A city lady wrote to a farmer living in the country, where she spent vacation with her family last summer, and told him she would like to come again this summer, but she objected to the kitchen methods of the hired girl and to the swine being kept too close to the house. She received an answer which contained the following: "You may cum alright; Hannah has went, and there hain't been no hogs on the place since you left last summer." Magazine of Fun. Tropical Frenzy. Dr. Plehn, a speaker at the recent German colonial conference, attributes the brutal excesses of certain German and Belgian officials when set to govern black men to "tropencholer," or tropical frenzy. An official with tropical frenzy, says Dr. Plehn, is not responsible for his actions, however, criminal they may be. The disease gets hold of him like creeping paralysis, an affliction with which it has much in common. Why He Ducked. A fine specimen of the Taurus hibernicus made its appearance in the Bow street police court yesterday. "You ducked your head," said the magistrate to Patrick Lane, who charged Joseph Kavanagh with shooting at him in the Strand. "Faith and I did, your worship. It's better to be aeward for five minutes than to be dead all your life."—London Globe. Moved Post Office. Without consulting Uncle Sam in the matter, about 100 citizens entered the post office at Sparks, Nev., one night recently and, taking possession of the place, loaded the mail, stationery, stamps and fixtures on a wagon and moved them to a building situated in another portion of the city which they consider more suitable, as it is more central. When Commissioner Garfield went to the Chicago packers and asked permission to inspect their books, the condition was made that no information he might obtain therefrom would be used in court proceedings against them. Mr. Garfield gave this pledge, it is stated, and the packers allowed him to study their business in all its details from the inside. Now, it is announced, the results of his study have been turned over to the government department of justice to be employed in legal prosecution of the packers. Commissioner Garfield would not have ventured to give the pledge that was demanded by the packers without instructions from Washington. He pledged, not his own word, but the government's. It is not his good faith but the government's, that is in question now. The Journal has no concern for the packers, except as they are citizens of Chicago. If it can be proved that they are guilty of engaging in a conspiracy in restraint of trade, they ought to be punished. But their guilt, if they are guilty, must be fairly proved. They must be given a square deal. Since the government has elevated its vision to such a height as to overlook the nest of defiant criminal trusts in New Jersey, almost within the shadow of the capitol dome, in order to fasten itself a thousand miles away upon Chicago, the government and the President cannot be too careful to avoid suspicion that they are more anxious to prosecute western offenders than offenders in the east. Some of the methods already employed in this case have not been particularly distinguished for decency. When the government breaks into a man's house and steals his private papers, when it drags the wives of packing-house employees into court and puts them under heavy bonds, it is hardly dignified, not to say honorable, nor even respectable.-From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 6, 1905. MISSOURI STATE GLENINGS. The Salmons Sued Again. Henry county has sued Salmon & Salmon, of Clinton, in the circuit court for $200,000, for which sum they were bonded when their bank was the depository of Henry county. The claim is to be satisfied upon the payment of $65,000, the sum deposited by the county in the bank at the time of its failure. This suit has grown out of the sensational failure of the Clinton bank, and was originally filed in Henry county, but a change of venue was granted to Green county, because it was alleged that all Henry county was prejudiced against the Salmon, defendants, and the case will probably be heard by Judge James T. Neville at the January term of court. Charged With Pool Selling. Information has been filed in the Kansas City criminal court by the prosecuting attorney charging J. A. Johnston and Harry E. Snyder with selling pools upon horses races, in violation of the law. Johnston and Snyder are Kansas City (Mo) saloonkeepers, who are alleged to have accepted bets upon the races to be sent to poolrooms in Kansas City, Kas. The alleged offense is a felony punishable by imprisonment of from two to five years in the penitentiary. Proninent Men Swindled. Two hundred business men of St. Louis are said to have been swindied and to have lost a total of several thousand dollars within a week at the hands of Charles K. Lehrberg, aged 50, who obtained the money by writing life insurance policies in the name of a company with which had no connection. A warrant charging forgery has been issued, and detectives are searching for him. Fast Fright Trains Collide. Two fast freight trains on the Burlington Route collided at Cream Ridge Sattion, five miles east of Chillicothe, and although they telescoped one another, there was no loss of life. Only one person was seriously injured—Mrs. Gould, of Wheeling, Mo., who was in the caboose of the east-bound train. About 30 cars were derailed, and traffic on the road was stopped for several hours. Footpad Kills Conductor. William H. Ranke, a Kansas City street car conductor, was shot and killed in a struggle with a negro robber who attempted to hold him up. The conductor and motorman were eating lunch in their car at the end of the line, when the negro entered and demanded their money. The slayer escaped. Blames a Money Shark. Frank B. Baird, arrested in St. Louis on the charge of embezzling $100 from his employer, blames a money shark for his trouble. "I borrowed $20 from him a year ago," he said. "Since then I have paid $165 in interest, but still owe that original $20." University Visitors Named. Gov. Folk appointed the following men to compose the board of visitors to the state university, to hold office for two years: W. H. Kennan, Mexico; W. O. L. Jewett, Shelbina; Benton Gabbert, Dearborn; P. E. Burton, Joplin; A. H. L. Bolton, Union. Fines Quickly Expended. Thirteen alleged gamblers were arrested and fined $65 each at Chillicothe. Immediately after justice assessed the fines, the town council convened and spent the new revenue by ordering numerous sidewalks built. Barton Finishes Woodside's Term.

There are three kinds of love—perhaps, rather, I should say, three instruments on which love plays. It may manifest itself through the heart, through the soul, or through the mind. My love for you may be either practical, admiring or commuting. The love of the heart is practical; it ministers in common things. The love of the soul is admiration; it looks upon a far-flung glory and longs to be near it. The love of the mind is communion; it has touched a point of equality with its object; it can listen and respond. A mother's love for her child is that of the heart; it is helpful. A poet's love for nature is that of the soul; it is wondering, admiring. A friend's love for a friend is that of the mind; it is intellectual sympathy—communion. I think our love for God plays successively each of these tunes. We begin with the heart; we say "Our Father," we try to work for our Father. By and by the vision of wonder breaks upon us—the love of the soul; we bow with admiration before the mysteries of the universe. At last comes the glad morning—the love of the mind; we begin to know God, to commune with Him, to speak with Him face to face as a man speaketh with his friend; that is the manhood of our love—George Macheson, in the Watchman. HANDS TIED WITH LILIES. How the Most Attractive and Fragrant Things in Life May Become a Snare. A young man lost his life on one of the lakes in eastern Pennsylvania recently in a very strange way. He had taken several persons out on the lake to gather illies. In reaching for the flowers the nurse of the family, who was one of the party, upset the boat and all were precipitated into the water. The young man was an expert swimmer and attempted to save the nurse and baby, but became enmeshed in the illies and sank. When his body was recovered his hands were found bound together by lily stems. So even the charming lily, the purest of flowers, the emblem of virtue, may become an instrument of death. So, says the New York Observer in commenting on this, there are many pleasures in life, in themselves as pure and attractive as the lily, but indulged in to, excess they entwine themselves about the soul and drown it in worldliness. Blessings are good, but God may give so many of them that a soul might be destroyed by them. As an abundance of lilies may tie the hands of a swimmer that he perish by them, so indeed the pleasures of life may bind the soul that it sink into perdition by them. RAM'S HORN PUNGENCIES Limitations lead to liberty. Deeds are the only dependable creeds. Fetters of silk may bind as fast as cotton. Blindness banishes some of our best blessings. Sin's foothold depends on our affinity for it. Many a problem comes as a test of our prayers. Christ cannot get in where charity cannot get out. It is easier to analyze one another's burdens than to bear them. The steps are few from dalliance with sin to defiance of God. It is better to seem green to men than not to be fruitful to God. The more of man gets into religion the more religion will get into men. The mightiest force for good is faith in the goodness of the Almighty. God does not ask about man's attitude toward Him; He wants his relationship. Many a man who would make a first-rate candle is making a grand fizzle as an arc-light. The love of God is the only thing that will make you love all kinds of people all the time. It is no use praying for the salvation of your grocer when he is sitting up nights thinking about your old bills. As We Give. A little fellow, who had noticed that his mother put only five cents into the contribution box on Sunday, said to her on the way home, as she was finding fault with the sermon: "Why, mamma, what could you expect for a nickel?" There was sound philosophy in the criticism. THE ONLY ONE There is only One Genuine-Syrup of Figs, The Genuine is Manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.

The imitations are known to act injuriously and should therefore be declined. Buy the genuine always if you wish to get its beneficial effects.

"I would urge you to read up a life lesson, and to find how many things you can do in a business way, and still be honest."—Mineapolis Journal. Correct. "Now, gentlemen," said the lecturer on commerce and manufactures, "mention one of the most important collateral branches of the oil business." "I don't mind," magazines, "promptly responded the student who keeps abreast of the times." Pittsburg Post. Idaho Joins. Fraser, Idaho, Nov. 27th (Special)—Mrs. Martha J. Lee has given for publication the following statement, concerning Dodd's Kidney Pills: "I was down with Rheumatism three times," she says, "and each time Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me. The last time they cured me, and now I am able to get around and do all my work, though I am fifty-eight, and I can walk to Sunday School every Sunday. Before I took Dodd's Kidney Pills I was so bad I could use neither hand nor foot. I shall keep Dodd's Pills on hand all the time." Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove this Acid, which collects in the blood and poisons every vein and artery. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys; by healing and strengthening them, so that they can rid the blood of all impurities. Perhaps, after all, the best policy is never to do anybody any harm, unless thereby you can do yourself some good.—Puck. CUTICURA, THE SET, $1.00.
