Why it is Popular.

Because it has proven its absolute merit over
and over again, because it has an unequalled
record of cures, because its business Is con-
Quoted in thoroughly honest manner, and
because it combines economy and strength, be-
ing the only medicine of which 100 Doses One
Dollar" is true-these strong points have made
Hoods Sarsaparilla the most Successful medi-
cine of the day.

True Gifts.


He gives no gift who giTes to mo
Things rich and rare,
Unless within the gift he give
OF love some share.
he gives no gift who gives to me
Silver and gold,
If but to make his own heart glad
Such gifts cold.
He gives me gifts who, giving such,
Ny wants would ease,
Feeling most pity for my need
II lacking these.
BE gives me gifts most rich and rare
Who gives to me,
Out of the riches of his heart,
True sympathy.
ne gives best gifts who, giviuguaugHt
OF worldly store,
Gives me his friendship, love-and trust

the census will show a population of
more than Sd, 100000 The general
estimate was 65, 900, 900, and perhaps
the full returns will bring it to that
number; but, even if it does not, the
showing is satisfactory. The growth
of the country in this century has
been as follows: 1900, 1906, 446 !;

The Senate Committee Of which sena.

driven out Of the business by low prices,
while the, middle. linen arc making no
money and consumers arc paying dearly
for the beef they eat.aitE n .tssft
Z II the testimony before the committee
is'to be taken at par value, tho glaring
inconsistency Is q mere flight Of fancy,
The committee believes there Is q stern
reality in tho Inconsistency Of state
ments, aud the rest of mankind outside
Of the beef men and the carriers Of beef
products will agree with the committee.
\ II Is obvious that somewhere between
the losing producer aud the ovor.charged
consumer is great leak through which
runs a steady and considerable stream Of
profit. II ever tho committee gets hold
OF the inside accounts OF tho companies
which furnish the cars for the beef
trade, all that now seems incomprehen.
sible will appear clearly enough. i
The beei car companies give rebates to
! favored shippers, and in these rebates Is
covered up the seeming loss to every.
body who handles steer between the
producer and the consumer. Railroad
mon, for themselves or, their companies,
come in for division OF tho profits o.
the cattle car companies, and these have
their inside arrangements with the great
shippers. L. s. (&iHss III
| 1t is as 1t was and stillmay be between
tho railroad companies and the STANDARD
Oil Company. Anybody can win in the
game Of trade II he can lave special ad
vantage in freight rates. This is ont

Act, and why that measure must be i'm

In connection with the "reminiscences
OF General Chetlain Of the difficulties
overcome by General Grant in his en-
trance upon his military csreer, the fact
is recalled by Illinoisl parties familiar
with the circumstances at the time that
confidence in his ability was developed
SO slowly that even prejudice might be
inferred. His early successes were
quite generally attributed to luck rather
than generalship; and even after Shiloh
he was put on "the ragged edge" as it
were. He came to the command OF the
Twenty.iirst Illinois Regiment when it
was greatly demoralized by the utter
failure of its commander, Col. Goode, as
a military man. The latter is remem-
bered { as lawyer, rather older than
Grant, Of more impressive . pres
ence, good address Z and seemingly
one far more likely to achieve renown
in military or any other department OF
effort than the unattractive and rather
scedy-looking man from Galena. II cir
Cumstances alone are the factors in emf.
hence, Goode should have passed into
the hands Of the historians as one OF the
worlds greatest captains, rather than
Grant. While the latter went steadily
forward up the ladder, the man whose
retirement gave him first place drifted to
a quiet Illinois town and opened up a
small but toney saloon. AS he stood be-,
hind the bar dispensing the drinks it
was often remarked by customers that
but for .fool luck" he might have been
the man winning victories and moving
up to the highest station. But they
were mistaken. Water seeks its level.
Circumstances are but the channels
Grant might not have achieved even
the small SUCCESS Of Colonel Goode, as a
mixer OF drinks, but he had the qualities
that made u great General. IS

a good story Is told on Judge French,
OF South Dakota. Some years ago he
became Judge OF the Supreme Court,
and was known all over the State by
the name OF sold Necessity" and this
title was given him because, 1t Is said,
he 4knew no law As an illustration
Of how apt this appellation was the most
remarkable decision the Judge ever
rendered is directly to the point, A
case WIS before him wherein the prose-
cution failed to prove its charges. The
attorney for the defense refused on that
ground to putin my evidence. When
asked by Judge Freuch II he iatended
doing go, the 'lawer said .No,n and then
the Judge drew himself up and said !:
..Well, in that case shall order tho jury
to convict. Ii there IL any one branch

Another good story from the same
section is on Judge Gideon G. Moody,
recently elected United States Senator
from South Dakota. When he. was
some years ago associate justice OF the
Supreme Court, u noted horse thief
known as Light Fingered Harry was
up before him on, a charge OF stealing g
horse. The trial was a long one and
Harry got a long term in prison. In
