No, replied Mr.. Blaine, Il refuse to

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

THE most popular of all Mr. Glad
stones publications was his pamphlet
On ''The Vatican DEGREES" 1t is said
to have gone through 10 editions
Mr. GLADSTONE has been as prolific in
publications as he has been inexhausti-
bic in speeches. His writings fill twen-
ty-two pages of the printed catalogue
OF the British museum.
ARCHDEAcoN FARRAR says there is
room only for two more monuments in
Westminster Abbey, and this place is
reserved for those to Gladstone and
Tennyson.
LORD TENNYsoN's first book vas pub
lished in 1890. Mr. Gladstone is proba-
bly, the next oldest British author, for
his pamphlet, which Macaulay dcmol-

with the Church." was published in
1888.
MIR GLADSTONE gives as the key to
all his political changes this fact: ~
was educated to regard liberty as an
evil; have learned to regard it as a
good" This, ne believes, will explain
his political evolution and make intel

THE LAXATIVE GUMDROP,

Those of our readers who are trou
bled with dyspepsia, long continued
constipation or any difficulty with their
digestive organs ought to try the new
LAXATIVE GUMDROPS. They are
better than any sugar coated pills be-
cause they do not have to be SwaI-
lowed whole and there is no pain or
gripping afterwards. They are mild,
pleasant in their effects, and easy to
take because they do not differ in ap-
pearance or in flavor from the ordi-
nary gumdrop. In fact no one can
tell that they are taking medicine from
the taste Then there is no danger con-
nected with them. They can be given
to children without any fear. From
two to three constitute a dose but
more can be taken without i'll results.
They act quietly and mildly. The ef-
feet is as marked the second day asit
is the first, and on this account they
differ from the ordinary cathartic.
They corle in boxes at 10 and Is
cents. Get them of any dealer.

It's flying IN the face
of Nature to take the ordinary pill.
Just consider how it acts. There's
too much bulk and hustle, and not
enough real good. And think how
it leaves you when it's all over
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets act
naturally. They help Nature to do
her own work. They cleanse and
renovate, mildly but thoroughly, the
whole system. Regulate it, too.
The help that they give, lasts.
They're purely vegetable, per-
fectly harmless, the smallest, easiest,
and best to take. Sick Headache,
Bilious Headache, Constipation, In
digestion, Bilious Attacks, and all
arrangements of the Liver, Stomach
and Bowels are promptly relieved
and permanently cured. One tiny,
sugar coated Pellet for a gentle
laxative - three for q cathartic.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-.
turned.
You pay only for the good you
get.
This is true only of DR.. Pierce's
medicines.

The speech was received with con-

surprising the aggregate value OF ex.

IL will be observed that the value OF
the exports of merchandise for the last

value of the exports of merchandise for
the six preceding years by the large
sum Of sa5l 1903, $40.
The value of the imports during the
