ANOTHER American purchaser Of foreign
title has come to trouble. A few years age
the beautiful and wealthy Mrs. Hamerley, of
New York, married the Duke of Marlbor-
ough, the depraved and worthless descend
ant of the hero of Blenheim. She did this
with her eyes open, because she knew that
his escapades were too strongly favored even
for toady English society, which ia ready to
forgive a Duke almost anything. He was
then practically banished from decent Eng
lish society, but this did not check the tuft-
hunting widow. Last week she was disa-
grceably surprised by the entrance of a we'll
dressed man into her parlors in New York,
who proved to be Sheriff's officer, and he
served her with attachments to collect a
debt of 100000. Titles como high, but
women seem to want them at any price.

WILL 1T BE HILLr

Will David B. Hill be the Democratic
candidate in 1922
Viewing the situation from non-partisan
elevation, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE con-
cludes that the probabilities are strongly in
favor of that contamination.
Because:
In New York City it was square fight
between Tammauy on the one side, and the
County Democracy on the other, backed by
the Republicans, the Mugwumps and the
Independents generally.
Tammany's victory was overwhelming,
and the County Democracy was knocked
clear ont of the political ring. 1t is finally
done for, and Tammany rules the roost
henceforth without question. Cleveland
and his personal following were all on the
side of the County Democracy, and have
been "put TO sleep" with it.
Hill and Tammany now have undisputed
control of the machinery of the Democratic
party in New York State.
This is splendid beginning for man who
wants the Presidential nomination.
Then, Gov. Hill has oil the time been in high
favor with the younger Democrats who rule
the party in Ohio, while Cleveland has sided
with the "Old Roman element, which has
been sent TO the rear. Now the young Ohio
Democrats are enthusiastic for the man who
gave them such good help in the hour of
need.
Ditto, those in West Virginia.
That means q reasonable certainty Of
about 100 votes from those three States to
start with in the next Convention, and il is
year aud half until the Convention is
held
The amount of efficient work that man
of David B. Hills talents, who has his eye
set on the Presidency, can do in year and
half is amazing.

THE cowardly practice of low-class ruff
fans of shooting their victims with pistol
concealed in the overcoat pocket seems to
be finding it's way into practice among the
gentlemanly assassins of the South. Last
week Judge John Higgins, of Missouri, killed
in this way Col. Thomas Price, son of Gen.
Sterling Price, of Confederate fame, and q
man OF prominence in the State. The affair
was caused by Price defeating Higgins for
denomination as Judge. The old-Gashioned
way of laying for your enemy behind door
with double-barreled shotgun was bad
enough, but this is even more cowardly
In many States such murderer would be
pretty sure to hang, but it is wholly IN
likely that they will bring themselves to
send gentleman and Judge" to the
gallows in Missouri.

IT has been good many years-a couple
Of centuries almost--since the Dutch have
had an opportunity to honor man for q
victory over the British, but the Dutch in
New York now have such hero among them.
1t is Gen. Joubert, ex President of the Trans
Vaal, and who made such q sturdy fight for
independence, gaining a great victory over
the British at Majuba Hill, where the red
coat regiments were almost annihilated by
the expert Boer rifemen. 1t was much such
a battle az Jacksons at New Orleans, Jan.
8, 1915, and the result was treaty of peace,
guaranteeing the Dutch their independence.
Joubert has great admiration for this coun-
try, and says that if he were not an Afri-
kander he would be an American.

pay of a private soldier in the Regular Army
was only So month. The survivors of the
war OF 1912 were given So y month for Ia
days service, or having been in a battle.
The Mexican War veterans were given the
same for GO days service.
In view of these facts, there would be no
sense or justice in offering Union soldier
service pension of less than So month.

improvident sense. This word irnprovidont ex-
actly applies TO the latter class since they
neglect 10 provide against threatened danger.
We co.,miserate, but wo cannot respect them.

Foolish Consistency.

A man who is rigidly consistent admits
himself to be no wiser to-day than he
was yesterday. In order TO keep with
the times he must occasionally alter or
modify his opinions. a man will never
change his mind who has no mind to
change" says Archbishop Whately, and
Faraday expresses the same idea, when
he charges us TO remember that an
knowledge that man is only TO be de-
spised who is not in a state Of transit
ton" There is a medium between what
q worthy old gentleman calls "whif1in'
about like Il weathercock" and remain
ing rigidly i'm one rut OF belief. Most Of
us know instances OF men who cannot
bring themselves TO say anything which
would contradict what they uttered last
week or last year. 4 certain Irishman
once declared that he had owned horse
which was fifteen feet high. A few days
after he referred to the same animal as
having been fifteen hands high. "But, I"
said tho listener. "you gave it the other
day as fifteen feet" "Did |, thin?" said
Patrick. "Well, I'll stick to il. He was
fifteen feet high. That was consistency

There was no question about the cash
and what made IL seem worse, the razor
wielder said in way be had done IL

After the testimony was in the Judge
asked the barber II he had anything TO
say.
"Yes, monsieur, have. / Justify the
cutting on the ground that IL was merely
clerical error-a slip of the pea"
"What" cried the Judge, gasping with
astonishment.
Permit me-" continued the lather
Snapper. "For months the plaintiff has
been getting shaved on trust at my es-
adjustment. l have no very convenient

The barber paused a moment and the

tation.
"But how about the clerical error"
asked the Judge

CATARRH.
Not Local. but Constitutional

DR.. Dio Lewis the eminent Boston physi-
clan, in "a recent magazine article says: "A
radical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of catarrh. - 1t is not "A dis
ease of the mans nose; IL is "A disease Of the
man showing itself in the nose--a local eX-
hibition OF a constitutional trouble.n There
foreshe argues. that the use OF snuff and
other local applications is wrong. and while
they seem to give temporary relief. they
really DO more harm than good. Other lead
ing authorities agree with DR. Lewis.
Hence, the only proper method II cure for
catarrh is by taking a constitutional rem
edy like Hoods Sarsaparlla, which, reach
ing every part OF the body through the
blood, does eliminate all impurities and
makes the whole man healthier. 1t removes
the cause OF the trouble and restores the
diseased membrane to proper condition.
That this is the practical result Is proven
by thousands OF people who have been cured
OF catarrh by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
al bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tons, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
