This is a fine burg with two banks two fine hotels. The people there as a rule are partially sociable but not too clever, some of them will take a "bike" for the far north when they see a dark skin. We did not care for that but stayed with them" like any capable man should and by so doing we succeeded and intend to where ever we may go as long as oak and ash grows. We left Molins for Elk city in Montgomery county nothing doing in the way of hotels so you can see the life of a traveling newspaper man is not all strewed with flowers. Montgomery dislike other adjacent towns has plenty boze. HOWARD KANS. NOTES. After leaving Eureka in Greenwood county, we drifted into Howard the county seat of Elk county where they have a beautiful city of at least 2,000 thrifty people. No booze no drunks to speak of, once in a while there is a "chip in" box or keg and now and then a noisy drunk but very seldom. We met a large number of prominent people in this city but most of the inhabitants here are from Kentucky and Virginia apparently yet there are a few who know not the value of a "bustling Negro." Unlocal papers or want of knowledge takes a few punchers at us but what can we for that, we must get business, we must succeed and not withstanding the U. S. army we are going to have to. Sheriff Batey has made a good officer and will be re elected. EUREKA KANS NO183. The people of this thriving city have made mark improvement in the last few years in fact it is a nice city of over three thousand industrious souls. There are many good people here among the Anglo-Saxon race but very few of the colored contingent in fact, they have all left as a rule, only a few lingers to tell the tale of the once colored population thats all. We saw many amusing sights on our visit to the quies city and county site of Greenwood county but are satisfactory. As a whole Greenwood county stands for some of the most prosperous farmers and cattle raisers in Kans. We took in the sights was well treated by the people and departed with colors flying. A remarkable circumstance happened since our former visit to Eureka. There came to that city many years ago an Italian wo In his native country was named some thing else but he came to this country thirty six years ago became rich and called him Chris Jack he recently died and no one thus far has ever been able to locate his relatives. ELDORADO KANS NOTES This is a strictly nice city' many fine people and beautiful residentsadora this city. It is the home of his "honor" Judge Aikman Judge Hamilton, Judge Smith and Kraemer all prominent before the bar. Judge Aikman one of the fairest Juries in the state is a native of Kentuesky, he came to Kansas an early day and fitted himself for the high position he now holds. His brother is the present County Attorney, "fine folks to meet." Judge Allman succeeded Judge Shim and when he did to he gave Miss Jessie Morrison the limit according to evidence he does not feel sorry, for Eldora does endorse him to a letter. Several changes have been made in the business world since we were forarly at the to "Burg" DOUGLAS KANSAS Ron. T.W. Hill postmaster at Douglas is a "vet" of the civil war and saw considerable service. M. Hill seems proud of the fact that he was in the army he is also postmaster assisted, by his estimable daughter they dircharge the duties of uncle Sam. With dispatch the writer cannot praise them to highly The writer has a few axes to grind from now on. We never saw colored man that wasn't a Negro but never saw a Negro that was colored. ```markdown ``` TOPEKA.

It is related of Lady Penelope Darcy that she was wooed by three suitors at the same time, who had determined to fight as to which should possess her hand. This fact coming to her knowledge, she positively forbade them to fight under pain of her great displeasure, and laughingly remarked that if they would have patience to wait she would marry them all. Strange to say, she fulfilled her promise, as she married, first, Sir George Trenchard of Wolverton; second, Sir John Gage of Fule, and third, Sir William Harvey of Ickworth—the very gentlemen who had determined to fight for her hand. --- USING THE ODD MOMENTS. Read During Time That Would Other wise Be Wasted. It is not well to read at the solitary meal, and not all care to read in bed. But the chance to open a book comes frequently during the day. Ten minutes after lunch will dispose of Shakespeare in a year. Half an hour at the end of the day's work, and before the evening meal, will cover a considerable range of history in the twelve-month. One can read volumes of poems and essays by devoting to them the negligible moment just before retiring at night. While traveling, waiting for the train or for the tardy guest, it is possible to conduct a distinct course of reading. When the whole evening is free for the printed book, and it palls on one before the evening is spent, there are change, rest, renewed refreshment, in picking up a book of another sort. For the ordinary intelligent person it is not even necessary to cultivate the habit of reading in the spare moments. Give it a chance at the start and it grows on one, like the mania for stealing rare editions.—New York Evening Mall.

By 20,000 Steps Cut in the Rock, Mt. Oml Is Climbed. For the ascent of Mt. Omi, on the borderland between western China and the Tibetan plateau, there is an artificial staircase consisting of 20,000 steps, cut in slippery limestone. Who made these steps is largely a matter of surmise, but they were probably formed by religious enthusiasts, to provide a means of access from the hot plains, out of which the mountain mass rises abruptly to the heights, 5,000 to 11,000 feet above, amongst which the Buddhist abbey of Omi embodies some of the holiest traditions of the religion professed by its inmates. Anyhow, the staircase is there, and by it many pilgrims attain the shrine. -Stray Stories. Highest Type of Man. The highest type of man is undoubtedly the man with the truest sense of his obligations to the race. No man liveth to himself alone. The man who lives least for his own particular benefit and most wisely for that of humanity is the man who lives the truest and best life. Here is where the measure of the true value of money is found. The man who puts so high a value on money that he regards it as worth more than reputation over-values it. The Iago, who says in all circumstances, "put money in thy purse," will steal. Money to him is worth more than honesty.—Exchange. Before Millard Fillmore was elected to the vice presidency of the United States he was head of the law firm of Fillmore, Hall & Havens of Buffalo. It was one of the leading law firms of the case the plaintiff's attorney told in a certain action. At the opening of the trial of the case the plaintiff's attorney told the jury that he would have to depend entirely upon the justice of his client's case, as the defendant had sought and obtained the aid and counsel of one of the ablest firms of lawyers in Western New York, and he might say he had opposed to him the right bower of the legal profession "What does he mean by that?" said Mr. Fillmore. Mr. Havens replied: "He means you." "Yes, I know," replied Mr. Fillmore, "but what does he mean by that particular expression?" "Did Havens, in the game of eucure the right bower is the biggest knave in the pack."—Montreal Herald. Appellation That Was Once Bestowed Lion Mutilard Fulfillment RIGHT BOWER OF THE LAW. Huge White Ant'e Near Huge White Ants Neat. A curiosity brought from Jamaica to the Maryland Academy of Sciences, is a huge white ant's nest. It is about three and a half feet in diameter, and is formed from the sap of a tree. The ants build at the base or in the branches of trees. They construct from the inside, much in the same manner as hornets do their nests. The ants' nest has much of the appearance of a hornets' home, except that the color is different, being dark brown.

He is overconfident and that is his great weakness. He has been through it all and is not to be caught a second time. He feels impervious to the approaches of woman in any form or guse. The widow finds him really a rather knotty problem. He presents difficulties that are wholly absent in a man who has never felt the matrimonial halter draw. He looks upon the widow with amused indifference. But a young and attractive woman who has never been married quickly arouses his sympathies. He in nine cases out of ten, shows remarkable endurance of her slege of his heart, and all we know that it is but a step from endurance to pity and thence to embraces. His doom is quickly sealed—Washington Post. We channeed to drop off at Grenola kansas in mlk county long ago and met a Mrs Dr Gardner who is a specialist in treatment and cure of sancer. The general verdict is Mrs Gardner receives patients hundreds of miles away. She has many living testimonias of her cures. She is sure cure or no charges asked.

Power Over Its Victims Now Explained on Occupied Grounds Hypnotism has been advanced as an explanation of the peculiar fascination exercised by serpents over weak animals which become so influenced by the eyes and body movements of their charmer that they are easily captured. Birds, squirrels and mice are the readiest victims. According to the instances observed the doomed animals seem to realize their danger, but are powerless to resist the influence. Sometimes a diversion, such as a sudden noise, will break the spell. It may have been, in the instances observed, that the victim was a parent trying to distract the snake's attention from its young and approaching incautiously too near its enemy. Or there may have been an attraction by curiosity or antipathy, the victim becoming careless of its danger through anger or weak through terror. The explanation that a state of hypnosis is induced is reasonable. The common hen may be readily hypnotized and music renders some mammals incapable of movement. The first move of the snake's victim may be one of curiosity. Then the snake may, even without being aware of it, exert its hypnotic influence and, seeing its prey within reach, naturally avail itself of its opportunity. HOW MOROS MAKE FIRE. Simple Apparatus That Can Always Be Depended Upon. DEFINED OPEN: There is still in use among the Moros a curious apparatus for making fire. The apparatus consists of a bamboo stick, a bit of china and tinder. The whole, connected with cords, is worn at the belt of the owner. When he wants a fire the native takes the bamboo firmly in the left hand and in his right hand holds the bit of china by the finger and thumb and on the thumb side he pinches a bit of tinder. The edge of the china is then struck sharply down and along the bamboo. A bit of the bamboo is scraped off, not much, because the wood is hard and the outside has quite a glaze, but enough to be made incandescent by the stroke, producing a bright and long spark. The tinder catches this spark and flame is the result. Very little practice is required to enable even a novice to light a fire by this means. Danger in Forcing Children. Danger in Forcing Children. Labor tears down the mental faculties of the child, causing the mind to become dwarfed and stunted at an early age when subjected to continual hard work, as in field and factory. While enough physical exercise is necessary to the development of the brain, too much has the opposite effect. The mind must be stimulated by the right kind of diversion, and in order to attain the best results must choose for itself, according to the mental and moral responsibility of the individual. The parent should be the judge of this and should not for any reason be too severe with children at an early age, lest by overstraining any of the functions of the body or brain they become prematurely deranged—Philadelphia Ledger. The Envelope in the Window. If you were in a certain Irish town and were looking out for lodgings you would probably come to the conclusion that none were to be had, for, search as you might for the familiar "apartments to let" notices so often seen in the houses of houses in other places you would search in vain. Instead you might observe fastened by the flap to the window a clean white envelope. This is an indication to all whom it may concern that apartments are to be had within. This curious custom is greatly in vogue at the seaside health resort, Killkee, County Clare, where all houses that have apartments to let exhibit a white envelope. Practical Gratitude With almost poetic reciprocity Fred Newhard, an industrious youth of 18, secured the release of his friend, Jacob Muth, from prison, says an Allentown dispatch to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Last year Muth saved Newhard from drowning at Atlantic City. Muth had been arrested for fighting, and was committed in default of $500 bail. When Newhard heard of his plight he offered to become bondman, but was not accepted because he is a minor. Promptly selling a house he owned for $2,000, he walked into the alderman's office and threw down the $500 bail demanded in gold, which the magistrate was bound to accept. Are There Any Ghosts? The man who does not believe in ghosts because he has never seen one, or treats all ghost stories as mere lies or meaningless hallucinations with or without some striking coincidence, should nowadays be treated kindly but firmly as an intellectual troogodyte, and given to understand that his views cannot be accepted in the twentieth century by those who are capable of seeing the light when it shines on them—A. Fellows in the Occult Review. Humorous Burglar. A specimen of the modern burglar's humor, when a Bristol lady and her husband returned the other day from a short trip to the south coast, among other evidences of an unknown guest they found attached to one of the lady's bonnets this note: "Dear Madam—Tell George he must really buy you another bonnet.

TOPEKA, KANSAS We wonder if the people up on Mars had as much trouble digging their canals. There is no such word as graft in the Japanese language. They just use the word theft. A tempest in a teapot is a small affair when compared with a revolution in a bowl of soup. "Should a woman wear a hat for two seasons?" asks a contemporary She should, but she won't. It's odd, but quite true, that a hammock is far more comfortable with two persons in it than with one. John Jacob Astor says the automobile will be succeeded by the air ship. And still the horse has not gone. Newport now has two bables each worth in its own name $10,000,000—or less than you would take for yours. Kang Yu Wei, head of the Chinese Reform Association, is in New York. This sounds even more serious than the boycott. Three hundred thousand people visited Coney Island last Sunday. The devil continues to regard vacations as unnecessary. An eastern man has succeeded in breeding a scentless variety of skunks. Let him now try his hand at deodorizing the autos. Japan is going to borrow $150,000,000. Evidently the Japs don't expect Russia to be able to pay the indemnity right away. Edison says radium will be as cheap as coal some day. Yet this may only mean that coal will be as expensive as radium some day. In the baseball league standing at the end of the season, as in the apple barrel, the best and the ripest fruit is conspicuous at the top. King Edward has had another birthday day without doing anything for William Waldorf Astor. Yet they say Edward is a kind-hearted king. The price of chloroform has been reduced 40 per cent. It is evident that Dr. Osler has not succeeded in causing the demand to exceed the supply. We do not know certainly, but we suspect that the Baltimore man who said in his will: "The world has not loved me," never really loved the world. When it comes to picturesque styles in revolution the South American republics are reluctantly compelled to admit that Russia has them all out classed. The man who bought a $3,000 automobile in New York with a bad check deserved to have it break down with him before he turned the corner of the street. A Chicago man advertises for "a lady stenographer," requesting that she "state her age." He must think there are ladies in that town who are very much in need of jobs. The 8,600 English immigrants who entered the port of Boston last year would have made a very notable addition to the colony of Massachusetts bay if they had come over 250 years ago. Mr. Peary will take with him on his polar expedition some very delicate instruments, which will let him know whether he has discovered the exact spot or no. This is a necessary precaution. Interesting indeed is the project of the company that is planning to spend $5,000,000 in dredging the Tiber, to make it navigable as far as Rome. There's no knowing what the dredgers may dig up. It is said there is a singular lack of enthusiasm on the part of the guests at William Waldorf Astor's house parties. There may be a lack of enthusiasm, but there is nothing singular about it. A fashion writer tells that the "short walking skirt is becoming shorter and the long dressy skirt longer." Presently the short skirt will grow longer and the long skirt shorter until one becomes the other. It is not true, as scoffers say, that the only difference between winter and summer in New England is that we spend our summers fishing and shoveling snow, and that in winter there's no fishing.—Boston Globe. Commander Peary isn't exactly begging for food, but he says that he cannot make his trip to find the north pole unless $30,000 worth of supplies are contributed before he starts. Courage and confidence are all right but corned beef and sardines also are essential. A European scientist has discovered that fear is caused by a germ which may be killed by inoculation. He will probably find that his theory is wrong when he inoculates a woman and then turns a mouse loose in the room. The New Jersey minister who complains that in a Newark church recently when the sermon was being preached the choir were reading a five-cent magazine, adds that it is not an uncommon thing for a church organist to go out during the sermon to get a drink of whisky. Why not send some missionaries over to New Jersey? A New York society woman has started a model dairy in order to provide pure milk for babies. That's another anti-race 'nicide' proposition which may well be encouraged. ```markdown ``` A Silly Song Two noblemen at b Once face at b And one of them at And one was deep The latter was the The bill for both Because this little The payment of 'My stars and gals The host, "We So terrible an app Just see the fe His bolt out his And wolf that c And I, who stood a Wept tear drops Of laughter—for't And make me Oh, surely I shall That joyous sight To see that worri The eggs the ba A SHATTER BY CHARLES (Copyright, 1905, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) He was such a reckless dare devil of a man, this Jack Langdon, who wooed by main strength and would not take "No" for an answer. "Meet me," he had written, "Meet me at the Suveisse server. Afterwards we will go to the cotillion and from there—" He had left the rest expressively blank. Pearl Horton had read the note once, twice, and again many times. At first she was angry, what woman would not be, but then she could not help recalling the gay way other women of her set talked about their flirtations. Why not she? "Why not?" she asked herself. "Why not?" she repeated so often as she dressed herself to go that she had questioned herself into consent. She was dressed and ready, when, why was it, that at the last moment her husband should say in his firm, quiet way that she feared to cross.— "Pearl, I wish you to go with me to the opera to-night. Will you be pleased?" "I no Wont," she excalmed, "I have made other engagements." "Never mind," he said tenderly, "let the other engagements go. I do so wish you to go with me to-night." Visions of Jack Langdon disappointment, came to her mind and she exclaimed petulantly, "You're the most exasperating, unaccountable man I ever met." Dr. Horton was a man with a broad and liberal mind. He loved his wife and he studied her moods. He saw with what innocent pleasure she played with the fire and resolved that, if he could help her and stand between her and temptation, he would. In the club that day, he had heard something, a bit of Langdon's barroom bragadacio, probably, augmented by rumor. On the impulse of the moment his first thought was to seek out this man and give him a sound thrashing, but better council prevailed. Nor did he go home and raise a fuss with his wife. He was far too good a general for that. “There, there, my dear,” he said, with a touch of finality in his voice, “We shall go to the reception afterward, if you like. What do you say, sweetheart?” Mrs. Norton accepted the inevitable with had grace and bounced out of the room almost in tears. "There's no help for it. I suppose," she exclaimed and sat down to pen Jack a note. It read: "Dear Jack; "That dolt of a husband of mine, tonight of all nights in the world, wants me to go to the opera. There's no help for it. I guess I must go. You will forgive me, will you not? Write me when I will see you again. "As ever, P" Dr. Horton, waiting in the hallway below, heard the door slam on the hurrying maid that carried the note to Langdon and the deep furrows on his brow relaxed a little. Perhaps, who knows, he knew also of another note that reached his enemy's hand at about the same time. It read: "Do come down to see me to night. Meet me at the stage door at twelve and we will have a time. Yours ever, "Cissey, "P. S. Shall we go to Vane's? Don't forget a bunch of flowers, now will you? That's a dear boy." Nine o'clock saw the Hortons in their box and Pearl enjoyed herself in spite of her vexation. But Dr. Horton was waiting patiently for the close, and when they entered their carriage again he said to the driver, "Vane's." Pearl lifted her eyebrows in surprise but said nothing. When they reached that none too respectable cafe Horton piloted his wife to one of the private dining CERSON "No, I won't!" she exclaimed. rooms that looked out upon the main hall. Already gathered there were people of all kinds and classes and questionable respectability. In a few moments another carriage arrived. Horton had placed his wife so that she could see into the dining hall, and Pearl gave a low, startled exclamation when she saw Jack Langdon enter with one of the chorus girls of the opera company. "Dear Jack: "As ever "Dearest Jackie; breakfast, we were set; warm hungry, in debt, the one who would get, breakfast was a bet. better!" whispered never met title— slave ket, more notches, melette!" and watched them, big and wet, was funny, tiggle yet, foster— forget— a hit, discount monet! -Cleveland Leader. ERED IDOL W. CONO Her husband ordered supper and attentively supplied all her wants, but she could not keep her eyes off of Langdon and the flashy dressed girl in his company. They had taken a table in the center of the hall and wine began to flow freely. Cissey talked loudly and finally, apparently at the suggestion of Langdon, leaped upon the table, displayed a very loud pair of hose and danced one of the rather vulgar dances popular on the stage amid the applause of the crowd. By that time, however, Dr. Horton had paid the bill, and, without apparently taking notice of the doings in the other room, led his wife out by a side entrance, where the carriage was waiting. He looked at his watch and sat musing for a moment, while "No, no, dear," she exclaimed, trem- Dining, he she is a stranger, the carriage rattled over the pavement. "Pearl," he said at length, "would you mind? On our way home there is a patient of mine that, I fear, is not long for this world. I must visit her and I wish you would come with me. Won't you say a few comforting words to her?" Pearl's sympathetic heart was touched and from the gay dining room they went to the poor little room of the girl. She sat down by the girl's bedside and tried to comfort her, but nothing that she said seemed to soothe the sufferer. She took her hand and smoothed her hair. "Won't you confide in me?" she asked kindly. The girl shook her head. "I will not tell his name," she said. The doctor stood, behind his wife and made a sign that seemed to change her mind. "His name is —," the girl whispered. Pearl bent low to hear the whispered words, and then started back violently when she heard his name. She almost cried out. "Do you know him?" the girl asked. "No, no, dear," she exclaimed, trembling, "he—he is—a stranger to me." He Got It. On the day following the railroad wreck near Harrisburg, Pa., recently, while a party of newspaper men were waiting in one of the company's offices awaiting news, word came that some of the railroad claim agents had already settled with and secured releases from some of the injured passengers. That called forth a story of the experience of a claim agent who had been sent to settle with a passenger injured in a wreck on a southern railroad, in which a coach had rolled down an embankment. The passenger had several ribs and a leg broken, a scalp wound and internal injuries, and the railroad man stood ready to have paid his $2,500 for a release. When asked what he thought would be right, the injured passenger, an Arkansan, said: "Wall, stranger, that was a pretty long fall. You tell me that that car must have rolled about sixty feet. I think I ought to get $1 a foot, any way," Charming. While Prof. Henry Drummond was calling on a friend on his last visit here he was introduced to a party of American girls.

"Oh. we kiss," said the youngest of the party, a charming girl of 16. "Ah, that's charming," responded Prof. Drummond: "Suppose we say good-by right now."

COMES A TIME When Coffee Shows What It Has Been Doing. "Of late years coffee has disagreed with me," writes a matron from Rome, N. Y.; "it's lightest punishment was to make me 'loby' and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. "The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my appetite and making me nervous and irritable, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit and try Postum Food Coffee. "It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refreshing beverage, but a food as well "All my ailments, the 'loginess' and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irritability disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health, which I owe to the use of Postum Food Coffee."

TRICKS OF SHARPERS TRICKS OF SHARPERS USUALLY BASED ON APPEAL TO CUPIDITY. Promise of Immense Profits for Small Investment Almost Invariably Successful in Deluding "Suckers"—Some Recent Schemes. The Riggs house has been the home of many postoffice inspectors for the past days, called here by the Machen trial, says the Washington Post. In the evenings they campare notes and talk of their experiences with that element of society which tries to get something for nothing through the agency of the mails. "It's queer how easy the public bites at the bait these sharper throws out," said a veteran inspector whose home is in the far west. "The explanation, of course, lies in the cupidity of mankind. An appeal to greed, if plausibly announced, rarely fails and land victims. No matter how old the scheme is, nor how often it has been exposed in the newspapers, it will still succeed in separating fools and their cash. But, of course, the fertile minds of the crooks have to get up something new in order to get larger revenues. "One of the comparatively recent tricks, and one of the hardest to frustrate, is the plan of selling stock in mythical rubber and coffee plantations that are generally located in Mexico. This applies to mines, but not so numerously." "Now here is where the shrewdness of the fakers comes in. By making Mexico the scene of their operations they can ward off exposure much longer. It is a long and expensive journey down there and even after an inspector gets on the ground he may have numerous difficulties put in his way before he can uncover the rascality. For a while, moreover, the innocent dupes are getting dividends, which they imagine are coming out of the sales of the products of the alleged rubber or coffee plantations. This is to lure other victims and is part of the game. A little of the capital of the victim is returned in order to get more. "The matrimonial fraud, too, hoary with age, is still being operated to the financial loss of many credulous citizens of both sexes. An Omaha rascal employed it very effectively, and fleeced uninspected men who were willing to take his niece, a 'beautiful, but fortunate girl' with a big inheritance, the fleecing amounting to not less than $50 per victim. This swindler's work was artistic in the extreme, as was that of a woman, who styled herself 'Mrs. Collins', who had men in every part of the union sending her money to pay traveling expenses for herself and ward to St. Louis, not that there was any lack of funds on her part, but to show good faith in those who bit at the scheme. Both Omaha man and 'Mrs. Collins' were caught and both went over the road. "The smaller cities, even those of the size of Washington, offer little opportunity for this species of grafter. It requires a big town like New York or Chicago, for the crook, after suspicion is aroused and the law gets on his trail, must bury himself for a while, and he can't do this successfully, except in densely populated centers. New York, indeed, is the paradise for the mall-employing fraternity which lives on the gullibility of their fellows." Few Soldiers and Sailors. The Boston Globe says that in this country we have been long familiar with the complaint that it is hard to get Americans to enlist in the navy or engage in the marine service. On top of this knowledge comes the news from Canada that it has been found practically impossible to garrison the fortifications at Halifax and Esquimalt with Canadian troops. It is probable that both in Canada and the United States the condition responsible for this reluctance of young men to enlist is the very condition of national prosperity which both countries are glad to record. The industrial and commercial opportunities in America to-day are so numerous and widespread that very much more generous inducements than are now held out to young men, apparently, must be offered to persuade them to abandon the civil for the military life.

Down in one of the west side free kindergarten's is an enthusiastic young teacher who, having boastfully vaunted the superior intelligence of her scholars, came a dire cropper recently when an unlooked for visit from the principal resulted in overmuch testing of this alleged cleverness.

"Schooner," according to the Indianapolis News, is a word of American manufacture. At Gloucester, Mass., about 1713, Captain Andrew Robinson built the first vessel called by that name. As it sild off the stocks into the water a bystander shouted: "Oh, how she scoons!" (sklms). Robinson instantly said: "A schooner let her be."

One Who Broke Down from Six Years Overwork Tells How She Escaped Misery of Enforced Idleness. "I had been teaching in the city schools steadily for six years," said Mia James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention. "They were greatly overcrowded, especially in the primary department of which I had charge, and I had been doing the work of two teachers. The strain was too much for my nerves and two years ago the crisis came. "I was prostrated mentally and physically, sent in my resignation and never expected to be able to resume work. It seemed to me then that I was the most miserable woman on earth. I was tamed by nervous headaches, worn out by inability to sleep, and had so little blood that I was as white as chalk. "After my active life, it was hard to bear idleness, and terribly discouraging to keep paying out the savings of year for medicines which did me no good." "How did you get back your health?" "A bare chance and a lot of faith led me to a cure. After I had suffered for many months, and when I was on the very verge of despair, I happened to read an account of some cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The statements were so convincing that I some how felt assured that these pills would help me. Most people, I think, buy only one box for a trial, but I purchased six boxes at once, and when I had used them up, I was indeed well and had no need of more medicine. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enriched my thin blood, gave me back my sleep, restored my appetite, gave me strength to walk long distances without fatigue, in fact freed me from all my numerous ailments. I have already taught for several months, and I cannot say enough in praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Miss Margaret M. James is now living at No. 123 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio. Many of her fellow teachers have also used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and are entusiastic about their merits. Sound digestion, strength, ambition, and cheerful spirits quickly follow their use. They are sold in every drug store in the world. An amateur chauffeur doesn't all ways have a controlling interest in his automobile.

Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks.

"Well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept Grape-Nuts, cause that don't look like the others and people know 'zacky what Grape-Nuts looks like. But there's 'bout a dozen different ones named on the bill of fare and they are all thin rolled flakes so it don't make any difference which one a man calls for, we just take out the order from one box." This talk led to an investigation. Dozens of factories sprung up about three years ago, making various kinds of breakfast foods, seeking to take the business of the original prepared breakfast food-Grape-Nuts. These concerns after a precarious existence, nearly all failed, leaving thousands of boxes of their foods in mills and warehouses. These were in several instances bought up for a song by speculators and sold out to grocers and hotels for little or nothing. The process of working off this old stock has been slow. One will see the names on menus of flaked foods that went out of business a year and a half or two years ago. In a few cases where the abandoned factories have been bought up, there is an effort to resuscitate the defunct, and by copying the style of advertising of Grape-Nuts, seek to influence people to purchase. But the public has been educated to the fact that all these thin flaked foods are simply soaked wheat or oats rolled thin and dried out and packed. They are not prepared like Grape-Nuts, in which the thorough baking and other operations which turn the starch part of the wheat and barley into sugar, occupy many hours and result in a food so digestible that small infants thrive on it, while it also contains the selected elements of Phosphate of Potash and Albumen that unite in the body to produce the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers. There's a reasen for Grape-Nuts, and there have been many imitations, a few of the article itself, but many more of the kind and character of the advertising. Imitators are always counterfeiters and their printed and written statements cannot be expected to be different than their goods. This article is published by the Postum Co. at Battle Creek. Additional evidence of the truth can be supplied in quantities. WRONGS OF THE CHILDREN. One Child in Five at Work in Early Years. "Field and Stream" notes that one child in five in this country spends the years between the ages of ten to fifteen at work in coal mines, factories or similar places. Education is at a standstill; there is no recreation in field or forest; nothing to develop mind or character, everything, on the contrary, to hinder or distort their growth. At fifteen the unhappy little creatures, dwarfed in every direction, pass into circulation. In a few years our citizens' roll will be one-fifth made up of such. In his installation address President Roosevelt said many fine things about our duty and our dawning destiny to lead the world. Make any allowance you judge fit for possible over-statement in the figures we quote, the picture will not be greatly relieved. For there is the other and worse side of it that child labor is one, and only one, product of the greed and indifference of those who are knowingly operative in causing this stupendous piece of cruelty. They are a worse blot on the roll than the children, become adults, will be. In what are we to lead the world? Humanity of conduct? Usefulish disregard for gain? How long does a nation's public policy remain in advance of its average private standard. These children are slaves who derive no shadow of benefit, nothing but harm, from their slavery. Morally and mentally dwarfed men and women, they are prematurely fathers and mothers whose children register and reflect the moral and mental status of their parents. We once held these "truths to be self-evidence: that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." But perhaps the signers of the Declaration of Independence were not thinking of children in those momentous days!—New Century Path. BATH TREATMENT OF INSANE Efficacy of Long Immersions Fully Proved. W. Alter, an assistant physician at one of the provincial hospitals for the insane in Germany, has an article on "The Bath Treatment of the Insane." In bearing testimony to the efficacy of this method of treatment he confirms what so many others have asserted who have used it. The temperature of the baths varied from 94 degrees F. to 97 degrees F., and the patients were kept in from two hours up to twenty-four hours, or longer. Usually the patient rested on a sheet suspended beneath the water, and another sheet covered the whole bath excepting at the head end. Their meals were served to them in the bath. It was found that on an average one attendant to every four patients in the bath was required. The results described were such as are seldom obtained by any other method. At the commencement there were fifty-four patients, almost all in single rooms, and after a few months none occupied single rooms; and, whereas previously most were noisy and restless the whole or part of the night; in spite of the administration of drugs after the institution of the bath treatment it was a rare thing to find a patient noisy at night. The baths also seemed to improve both the mental and physical condition of the patients. Dr. Alter is of the opinion that if the difficulty as regards number of attendants and sufficient bathing accommodation could be overcome, the bath treatment should be introduced into every hospital for the insane. Cabman Felt He Owed Debt The Rev. S. Parkes Cadman of Brooklyn tells a story of how a cabman of this city once refused to accept pay for his services. Dr. Cadman had been calling on Bishop Potter. After arriving at the ferry on his way home he tendered the usual fee to the man who had driven him down. The man declined to take it, and a beautiful smile lit up his tanned features. "I'd like to know why you won't take this money," said the clerkman. I like to know why you won't take this money," said the clergyman. "I'll tell you," came the answer. "I once heard you preach in the Metropolitan Temple, and at the close of the service you laid your hand on my shoulder and said to me, 'For God's sake be a man.' I had been a drunken sot for years, but that set me right about face. I now own this horse and carriage, live with my wife and children in a snug little flat, and have $1,500 in the bank. It's no strange thing that you should forget me, but I haven't forgotten you."—New York Times. Sensitiveness of Humorists A poet at a banquet of humorists told a story of R. K. Munkittrick, American's veteran joke writer. "Blank and I spent the night with Mr. Munkittrick at his fine New Jersey home in May," he said, "and the next morning we came in to New York on the train together. "Mr. Munkittrick had brought along a bundle of funny papers to beguile the ride with, and, picking up one of these journals, Blank began to read it. After a while he turned to Mr. Munkittrick and said: "So this is one of your jokes, is it? Ha, ha, ha!" "The veteran joke writer said in a hurt, indignant tone: "Well, what are you laughing at? Isn't it a good one?" 1,100 Frances for King's Umbrella. The king of the Belgians once left his umbrella in a hansom when driving in Brussels. This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud "cabby," who was offered for his honesty by King Leopold the sum of 100 francs. The astute Jehn, however, begged a great favor of the king. Could he have the umbrella instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman nad put up the umbrella for sale, and it was knocked down to some royal enthusiast for 1,100 francs. When King Leopold heard of this he exclaimed: "Well, I've heard of an umbrella being put up to keep off showers of rain; but this seems to have been put up to bring down showers of gold" Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT CONTAIN NARCOTICS, if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. IS ABSOLUTELY PUI NATURE'S OWN RESTORATIVES IN FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION. Dr. Pierce Announces the Ingredients of the Family Medicines Which Have Made His Name a Household Word in the World. With all the recent talk about patent medicines and the determined effort in certain quarters to cast discredit upon all household remedies which come under that head, the fact remains that some of these medicines are so firmly established in popular favor and confidence, have so proved their worth and value, that all the denunciations of bigots cannot destroy the people's faith in them. One of the best known of these remedies is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a medicine which for years has been accepted by the people as a standard preparation for the cure of those alliments to which women alone are subject and which has proved to be a certain cure in nine cases out of ten and a sure relief in the other one. There is nothing to conceal about the Favorite Prescription. It is an absolutely pure medicine—made of roots and herbs, Nature's own restoratives. Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know that his Favorite Prescription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum Thalactrolides), Black Cohosh (Climaciflua Racemosa), Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium Pubescens) and Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis). Every doctor knows that such a prescription is beneficial in the diseases of women and when properly compounded is certain to effect a cure in practically all cases when given a fair trial. Hereafter every bottle of the Favorite Prescription will plainly tell of what the medicine is composed. Thus Dr. Pierce will once more prove to the world his own confidence in the remedy which for forty years has borne his name and which is known all over the world as a sovereign cure for those diseases which, unchecked, make our women old before their time. There is no alcohol in the Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce never believed in using alcohol in the preparation of his famous household remedies. For it he substituted chemically pure glycerine, which has wonderful properties for extracting the medicinal principles of roots and herbs and barks and preserving them at their full strength, without any deleterious effect whatever. Your druggist sells the Favorite Prescription and also that famous alternative and blood purifier, the Golden Medical Discovery. Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is a well-qualified physician and will treat your case as confidential and without charge for correspondence. Address him at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., of which he is Chief Consulting Surgeon. When a woman flatters a man it's a pretty safe bet that she has designs on his bank balance.

While one great thinker tells us that women are the greatest power for peace on earth, another brings a stirring accusation against women who love war. It is in these vigorous words: "The spirit of natural ferocity is strong in us still. It makes our eyes flame at the sight of glittering arms and our nerves tingle at the sound of martial music and it stirs in the souls of women. As the peahen is captivated by the flaunting plumage of the peacock, as the squaw rejoices in the deeds of the warrior returning with the smoking scalp of the enemy, so the women of to-day are led captive by the uniform of the soldiers." There may be a fragment of truth in this, but only a fragment.—Exchange Miller's Pharma o another Flower Pleasure. The botanist Lannes had do his first flower the fragrant flower, then the twin flower. Concerning it he noted to have answered, when asked a friend if it grew by the stories of a Swedish lake, "Nay, also lives not here, but in the middle of our largest woods. She clings with her little arms to the moss and seems to resist very gently if you force her from it. She has a complex like a millennial, and oh! she is very sweet and agreeable."
