This woman was refused a landing on
the ground that she came here from Vic

believe the time will come when his work
will be appreciated. He was one IF the
noblest and greatest Of men and he sacri-
feed himself to large extent to his coun-
Try. He has been called selfish and has
been accused of aspiring to the Presidency
as a matter of personal ambition and self
ACCOMPLISHMENT. There was never a
greater mistake. The only desire he had
to be President lay in the thought that he
could serve his country best in that place.
He had policy and ideas of his own as to
the administration Of affairs and had he
been nominated he would have been
elected. He was, as you know, a

troubles between the North and South.
BE would have escaped the troubles of
reconstruction and the ku klux would
have never been known. l think | am
safe in saying he would have been elected
had he been nominated. He stood out as
the great civil leader of the country. and
his record in this respect was match for
General Grants military service. His po-
sition on all great issues had been progress
sive. His financial theories had been a
success. He was strong in all branches of
the Democratic party and among the Re-
pubicans as well, and the contest would
have been an even one."

TOAD Gone" Was a Wonder.

All early writers attribute wonderful
qualities to toads and frogs and the va
rious parts of their bodies. Pliny be-
ieved, for instance, that if toad was
brought into the midst Of O mob or other
large and unruly concourse of people
''silenee would instantly prevail" A
small bone found in the right side of
toads 'sof the proper aeen was also pe-
heved to have powers over the various
elements "By throwing this bone into
q vessel of boiling water" says Pliny,
sit will Immediately cool it, the water
refusing to boil again until the bone has
been removed. To find this bone, ex-
pose the dead toad on an ant hill. When
the ants have eaten her all away except
the bones, take each bone separately and
drop it into boiling water. Thus may the
wo1ldrous toad bone be discovered"
This antiboil bone of course had it's OPP
posite.
In another portion Of his work Pliny
says: "On the other hand, again, in the
left side Of this reptile there is another
bone which when thrown into water has
all the appearance of making it boil
The namo given this bone is 'apocynon,
which signifies dog averting.' because it
has tho power and property of assuaging
the fury of the fercegt dogs" 1t was

other trouble, would conciliate es-
tranged friends, and if water in which a
