Our Great Country.

Do you know that very few of us
realize what great country ours is:
Listen.
The United States is eighteen
times as large as Spain, thirty-one
times as large as Italy, and sixty
times as large as England and Wales.
1t is three times as large as Great
Britain and Ireland, France. Ger.
many, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portu.
gal, Switzerland, Denmark and
Greece all put together. Our rivers
and lakes contain one-half the fresh
water on the globe. We can travel
up the Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers 5000 miles, or as for as New
York is from Constantinople.
We can crowd into the space Occu-
pied by the United States, not in.
Guiding Alaska, the countries of
Great Britain and Ireland, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria,
Holland, Belgium, France, Spain,
Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Greece,
European Turkey, Palestine, Japan.
and China. Should there be a great
famine all over the world, we could
raise enough wheat to supply all with
food.
1t would require six countries OF
the size Of Greece to cover the two
Dakotas. Texas is nearly as large
as the entire continent of Europe,
not including Russia.

TWO GREAT REMEDIES.

The human citadel is open to attacks from
two sources and aside from accident, these
two are the avenues from which all Of the
maladies that afflict the race spring. Tbs
first OF these are what is known as the excre
tory organs. These are the lungs, the kidneys
and the skin. These suffer from congestion
which takes the form of colds. Starting from
what is called a cold the maladies that result
are wide spread and ranging from cough to
consumption. They attack all ages and all
stations. No one is free from these troubles.
There is, however, remedy that is safe
guard. This is REID'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains no poison,
and will heal any form Of lung trouble or any
malady that arises from cold. The other
class of disease arises from arrangement Of the
digestive organs and result in constipation.
When the bowels do not act the stomach FOOD
refuses to digest the food, and we are troubled
with indigestion, fever, and long train OF
troubles that embrace wide range of mala-
dies. The LAXATIVE GUM DROPS will
correct any difficulty of this sort. They con-
tain nothing deleterious, but are safe and
pleasant. Get them of any dealer.

Death of Mrs. Harrison.

Mrs. Harrison died at the White house at
1 40 q. m, October Is.
The approach of the final dissolution
had been foreseen for some weeks and
the family had been prepared for the worst
ever since Mrs. Harrison had been brought
back from the Adirondacks, but the grief of
the president and his children is not the less
poignant.
For the second time in the history of the
White house a presidents wife has died
within its walls. Mrs. Harrison met her
death with the patience and resignation of a
devout Christian, and the last days were
comparatively free from pain. The presi-
dent and family for the last twenty four
hours before her death had been almost con-
stantly at her bedside waiting the end.

Los Lesson In punotuaiity.

Matthias Spitlog, chief of the Wy

known to possess about million dol
lars worth of property, is called the
wealthieSt Indian in America. Al
though over 20 years of age, and un-
able to read or write, he is keen
business man. By his shrewdness
and ability he has acquired large
tracts Of land in Kansas and Mis-
souri,, houses and lots in Kansas City,
and has money invested in number
of paying enterprises. The white
men to whom he gave a $40, 900 les
son in punctuality had persuaded him
to sell them a certain tract of land
for $40, 600, and were to pay him the
money at 10 o'clock at a bank
in Kansas City. On the ap-
pointed morning, few minutes
before the hour named, the old Indian
entered the bank and took seat.

As it began to strike the old Indian

OF the clock he promptly walked out
Of the building. On the street, less
than block away, he met the men
who were to buy his land hurrying
toward the bank. They begged him
to return with them. but Harper's
Young People says he refused, saying
that if they still wished to deal with
him he would meet them at 10 O'Clock
on the following day at the same
place. This time both the white men
and the Indian were promptly on

WHERE COLUMBUS DIED.

Tho House stin Stands, Although
Crumbling Into Decay.
On the Gale de Colon, dingy,
narrow old street in Valladolid,
about 200 yards long, stands the
house in which Columbus died,
although fast crumbling into decay.
The fact that it does stand is not
due to any effort taken for its
preservation, but rather to the solid,
ity of its construction. 1t is of con-
siderable size, and was, no doubt,
originally constructed for some per-
son of rank and position. The en-,
trance is through great Norman
archway OF stone, and the entrance
hall is spacious, while tie staircase
is broad and its incline SO gentle,
that one might almost drive up it.
The basement Of the building is Of
stone, though the upper stage is Of
brick, covered with stucco-or as
much stucco as has survived the
ravages of time. The outer walls
are massive, and their interior is, no
doubt, composed of a species of con-
crete, or mixture of mortar, pebbles
and fragments of stone, which figures
strongly in all old Spanish struct-
ures.
No nation in the world, perhaps,
has less respect or appreciation for
the antique and time-honored than
have the Spaniards. The house
where Columbus died is now used as
a constable. Above the stone arch
way is time-stained medallion,
bearing mans head, standing out
in bold relief on the stuccO. I'm
derneath is the engraven inscription
"Aqui murio Colon-Ano 1906"
Here died Columbus, year 1907
Close to this hangs a small sign,
board, with the following inscrip,
ton: New milk sold here; you may
see it MIXED" An old woman liv-
ing there gives tourists some infor-
nation.
Upon entering the ancient struct-
ure one steps into the spacious en-
trance hall, which is pitched with
small pebbles. On either side is a
large doorway, but the doors have
been removed, and through the open
ings one can see the COWS standing in
rows. Twenty COWS are stabbed in
the lower part of the house. The
cOwman and his family live up
stairs. One is quickly led into a
large room overlooking the street.
the room where Columbus died. The
windows are furnished with massive
iron gratings, as, indeed, are all the
windows in the house. A thin par
tition, running half way across the
room, forms small recess or alcoba,
in which is an old wooden bedstead,
with wretched straw pallet and a
scanty covering Of old clothes. On
such bed, probably, died the great
discoverer in poverty and desolation.
In the middle of the partition is a
little square window, through which
anyone sleeping in the alcoba might
see if any one entered the room.
The walls, bare and discolored with
age, look as if they had not been
whitewashed for at least a century.
The floor is of square earthen ties.
the same on which Columbus trod
four centuries ago. In this room he
was for a long time a prisoner. In
that alcoba, where the cowman and
his wife sleep every night, the great
died. Near the head OF |
the bed the form of a cross has
been scratched with some sharp in.
strument deep in the plaster of the
wall. Tradition says that Columbus
made the cross.

FRYE IN THE ROLE OF A PROPHET,
The Senator Says He Foretold
the Panama Scandal.
Distrust of the Nicaragua Scheme Is
Not Warranted.
The Maine Statesman Thinks the sher-
man Bill VIII Pass the Senate
and Should Run the
House Gauntlet.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-Two years ago
Senator Frye prophesied that time
would show that the Panama canal
scheme was corrupt, and that within q
year or two light would be thrown on it
and that the French republic would
tremble under the shock. That condi-
ton exists today. There has been some
talk to the effect that the Panama and
Nicaragua canal schemes are parallel,
and that the disaster that has overtaken
the French people will cause public men
in this country to hesitate in giving
their votes to sanction or guarantee the
Nicaragua bonds, fearing that scandal
might result. Mr.. Frye sees nothing
of the kind, and is emphatic in
his declaration to that effect.
Said he: "Thers is a very good reason
to advance why this government should
exercise supervision over the Nicaragua
canal and control all that is done there
and there is no reason why any legisla-
tor should be afraid to COST his ballot for
a bill which has this end in view. l be-
lieve this measure will pass the senate,
but, of course, such prediction cannot
be made as to the house. 1t can hardly
be supposed that the bill will meet with
favor there. inasmuch as it contem.
plates the expenditure of public money,
and such expenditures are opposed on
that side of the capitol"

ST. PAUL, Dec. 27.-Judge Cornish, IN
the circuit court, has filed an order ana
a memorandum in the case OF the John
Manufacturing company against W. u.
Hollis ct AL, officers and members OF the
Northwestern Lumbermen's association.
The court denies the motion for an or
der setting aside and dissolving the
temporary injunction made on the l7th
day of May last, and the order to
show cause is discharged. Plaintih
claimed that the defendant, the North,
western Lumber association, entered
into a conspiracy to restrain trade ana
to eyade the law; to prevent every
wholesale lumber dealer from selling
lumber to anyone except members OF the
defendant association, so as to compel
all the retail dealers to join the defen-
dant association and act with its mem
bers. In view OF these facts
a temporary injunction was asked
for. In summing up, the court ealo !;
"No ,ruet could be more extensive or
oppressive. Trsde cannot be 80 re-
stricted The defendants have sub
stantially admitted the charges made
by the complainant by disclosing the
real purpose; the answer that all the
retail dealers in the state are members
OF the association is not sufficient, as
this class of monopoly need not be COM
plete to be effective"

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

Action to BE Taken on Representative
Andrews' Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The house
committee on banking and currency will
be called together coon after recess to
act on the bill introduced by Represent
ative Andrews of Massachusetts, propos-
ing more liberal legislation in behalf of
national banks and the repeal of the
silver bullion purchase clause of the
Sherman act. The majority of the COM
mittee is disposed to recommend the
first section of the Andrews bill, which
authorizes national banks to issue
circulating notes on bonds depos-
tied. Section reduces the amount
OF bonds required to be deposited in the
United States treasury by national
banks to nominal amount. This Sec
tion will have to be modified, as the
committee is hostile to it and believes
in requiring banks to deposit consid-
erable amount of bonds. Section 8 re-
lates to the tax on circulation. The
committee lie in favor of q reduction OF
the rate OF tax on national bank circula-
ton, but is opposed to wiping it out
entirely, on the ground that the banks
should bear their share of the expense
of the system. Section 4 repeals the
Sherman silver purchase provision.
Whether or not this will get the favor
able endorsement of the committee can
not be predicted.
