white hair on his head that indicated q

not understand how so youthful man

such remarkably white hair. Curiosity
led me, after very agreeable aud social
acquaintance of several days, to ask:
"Why is 1t, Mr.. Coburn, that as young
a man as you are should have so white
a head of hair?'
He answered at once: ooh, Mr..
Briggs, there is a terrible story con-
nected with my white hair" And he
told it to me as follows: "a few years

"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic

discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in Chicago paper that man had

make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am

And Dissected Skillfully Before a

Chautauqua Audience.
The weather at Mahtomedi yesterday
was perfect, and the Chautauquans en-
joyed themselves to the fullest extent.
During the day the people paid
strict attention to the lectures
and the routine work, but iii

many others enjoyed the beauties of the

Yesterday Prof. French gave his last
lecture. His subject was "a Knack OF

was mostly instructive. The rules
which govern drawing were given in
great simplicity. The professor left
last evening.
The evening lecture was delivered by
Chaucer." Prof. Freeman is professor
of English literature in the Wisconsin
state university. and perhaps there is
no man in the Northwest better fitted
to deliver lectures upon this topic.
His reputation as a lecturer has been
well established, and in his line of
work he is equal if not superior to any
man heard at Mahtomedi. He
has but recently concluded
course of tWenty-four lectures
at River Falls. There there was an III
creased interest each evening. His lee
ture last evening was humorous as we'll
as instructive. The Canterbury Tales"
he says, are a wicket gate by which we
can look in upon the England of 500
years ago. This fact he we'll illustrated
by a humorous running comment
on the thirty-two characters of the

and character sketches of the pilgrims.
AS a reader of the dialect of the four
teenth century Prof. Freeman has pc
culiar power. Chaucer. he said, saw
the genius of the English language and
brought it out. Chaucer himself was
highly educated and possessed great
genius. His power is shown in the
influence of his works. He led the
way in the literary English. The lee
ture was highly enjoyed. He will lee
ture again on next Monday evening.
On Tuesday afternoon he will give the
recognition address to the classes of 80.
This afternoon Sgr. Vitale will assist in
the services. Many new arrivals were
seen on the grounds yesterday, they haV-

Extracts from the Weather Crov
Bulletin of the Louisiana Weather
Service for the week ending Saturday
June %:
"There has been suficiency o.
rainfall during the past week in al
sections of the State excepting a few
localities in the extreme southern
portion.

that the late rains have been exceed.
ingly beneficial; that farmers have
replanted the rice damaged by dry
weather and that the late rice is
growing finely.
''From the cotton growing sections
OF the State reports are generally
fiattering. There has been too much
ram IN some places resulting in farm
ers getting behind in keeping crops
clean but prospects remain good, and
will be better by a cessation of rain
fall, permitting farmers to properly
cultivate their crops.
"The corn, as a rule, is reported in
fair condition, and improving in the
northern half of the State, and in the
central portion (Rapides and Avoy-
Giles parishes) it is reported that all
crops are growing as if by magic, and
that that they have had an abundance
of rainfall.
"a severe local rain and wind storm
occurred in the vicinity of Alexandria
on the 10Th, doing some damage to
corn by blowing it down, and up
roofing trees.
''In the Florida parishes reports
indicate very favorable outlook for
all crops; the rainfall came Just in
time to save the cotton and corn,
and farmers are greatly encouraged"

Japan covers an area of 167, 900

Representative Browne, of Indiana,
one Of the leaders of the Republican
party in the House, says that when
Congress convenes the House will pass
the Senate tariff bill by piece meal,
go to speak. The administrative fea,
lures of the bill, he says, will be
passed first in a separate bill, then
the internal revenue reductions, and
anally the tariff changes. Whatever
the Republicans do to reduce the re-
eeipts Of the Government, and it ia
hardly likely that they will do any
thing as they are much more likely to
engage in extravagant appropriations,
Il i quite safe to say that they will
do nothing to tighten the burdens of
taxation. According to the statement
OF their leaders the people not only
do not feel the taxes levied, but do
not ask for production. They prefer,
therefore. to change the revenue laws
in such manner as to make the peo-
pie pay taxes which shall go into the
pockets Of the manufacturers instead
ot into shs treasury Of the Govern
