THE old frigate Constitution, SO re.
nowned in our annals, is still included
among the vessels Of the navy. She is
dismantled and is kept in that condi-
tion at Portsmouth, N. II. She is a
craft of 2.2O0 tons displacement. and
now carries no battery in place of the
forty-four guns of the days when in her
glory. "Old Ironsides," as she had
come to be called during the war of
1912, was launched at Boston in 1897;
and when the hundredth anniversary
of that event comes around she will
in all probability be again put into
commission to receive her centennial
honors.

Ought to be smaller
the great, gripping, old-fashioned
pill. There's too much unpleasant
ness for the money. Ought to be
better, too. They're big enough,
and make trouble enough, to do
more good.
That's just what DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets do, more good.
Instead of weakening the system,
they renovate it instead Of up
setting, they cleanse and regulate
it mildly, gently, and naturally.
They're the original Little Liver Pills
the smallest but most effective,
purely vegetable, perfectly harmless,
and easiest to take. Only one
little Pellet for a gentle laxative
three for a cathartic. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
and all arrangements of the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels are promptly
relieved and permanently cured.
They're the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for the good
you get. It's plan peculiar to DR..
Pierce's medicines.

A Promising situation.
New York Daily investigator.


Good judges say that one of the next To-
calities to achieve distinction by jumping
from a substantial town to q thriving me-
tropolis in few years will be the city of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too, without
the effort and struggle through which in
terror towns have passed while effecting
the same result. Untila year or two ago
the average man did not stop to think that
Superior as monopolist of the water and
rail termini at one end of the lakes is in the
same position as Buffalo at the other end.
Figures are uninteresting unless given
briefly, but comparisons are always impor-
tant. This little Superior, credited by its
last census with only g, 600 people, handled
more coal last year than did Chicago; Of
grain, 1t shipped nineteen million bushels;
of -four, sixteen hundred thousand barrels;
Of wool, four million pounds; OF merchan-
disc, to the value of thirteen million dol
lars. or all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this con-
dition of things. 1t is that the rail rate ON
freight sent west of Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile. while the water rate
Is one-tenth OF one cent per ton per mile.
This position at the extreme western end Of
Lake Superior is what gives the city of Su-
perior its prestige, and is making it grow
faster than Chicago ever did. Besides ono
hundred and one smaller industrial con-
Germs, Superior has located twenty eight
large manufacturing enterprises in the past
Steel Barge Company, the builders of the
famous 'whaleback" vessel, which is revo-
lutionizing the lake and ocean freight-car-
rying trade. The twenty. eight institutions
above mentioned, include iron and steel
plants. -four mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, shipbuilders and
saw and shingle mills The most conserva-
tive business men in the Northwest believe
that Superior will grow faster in the next
ten years than any other city In that pros
porous section of the country, and many of
them claim that Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee have never seen the
rapid growth that will come to the head of
the great chain Of lakes and the city Of Su-
pertor.
