WAYNE MACVEAGH. and the dominant
party at that, and in wartime in the
bargain, in state like Pennsylvania, :
in his thirtieth year. Nor is it so great
a thing for man to have held DIM
portant foreign missions and an attor-
ney-generalship by the time that he il
CO. But for man to have done these
things, so to speak, on his days off"
and to have been creating all the time,
as the main business of his life, a rep
utation at once solid and brilliant as a
leader of the Pennsylvania bar, is a
thing that no man in his generation
but Mr.. MacVeagh can lay claim to
have accomplished. AS he has sue
ceeded without any of the arts of pop
ularity, is accredited with a somewhat
sarcastic habit of speech, and is said
to have been called ''the young man
from Bitter creek" Mr.. MacVeagh's
double success must be credited more
than almost any other success Of the
time to sheer intellectually. When it
is also remembered that Mr.. MacVeagh
has never been mere dig" but has
shOne quite as brightly at the Clover
club dinner table as in the highest
courts of the land and in the cabinet
OF Garfield, the sense of his mental at
tainments rises from the admiring to
the marveling.
Born in the pretty town of Phoenix
vile, Pa, not far from historic and
lovely Valley Forge, on April 10, 1888,
Mr.. MacVeagh began to live and work
as soon as he could get at it. He was
graduated from Yale at 20, admitted to
the bar at 90, and three years later was
district attorney of his native county
of Chester. When war came, Mr. Mac.
Veagh, like the late Samuel j. Randall,
saw brief tour of duty as an "emer.
gency man." serving in 1859 as captain
of cavalry company raised to repel
invasion. In the following year he
was chairman of the republican state
central committee. He afterward ap-
piled himself closely to the practice of
MS profession, and set himself, before
accepting his next public otfice-that
of minister to Turkey in lS7O-7l-well
along toward his present position in
the law, which is that of one of the
leading counsel Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, and an important
member of the firm of New York and
Philadelphia lawyers which President
Cleveland entered after his first term
of office. Upon his return from Tur-
key Mr.. NcVeagh sat in the very i'm
portNnt state constitutional conven-
ton of 1928, which esta blished bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature, did
away with special legislation, and pro-
hibited the merging Of parallel and
competing railway lines. Then pri-
vate life claimed him once more till
the spring of 1877, when he was sent
at tSs head of commission by Presi-
dent Hayes to investigate the claims
OF the two conflicting state govern
ments of Louisiana Since his attor-
ney generalship under President Gar
field in 1851, Mr.. MacVeagh's life has
been too well known to require de-
tailed mention.

Pulling n Tooth.

One Of the guests at the Riggs house

tooth, and inquired at the Office where
he could find a good dentist. He Sc

equipped with all the superstition Of
his race, and he readily acquiesced in
the suggestion, for he thought the
doctor could do anything. The old
gentleman took the small string from
his violin, made loop, and dropping
IT over Bucks aching tooth, drew it taut.
Then he led Buck out to the hitching-
post, and made him stand on his tip

THE usual treatment OF catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment is
positively necessary TO success, but
many, if not inost, of the remedies in
general use afford but temporary ben
eht. A cure certainly can not be ex-
pected from snuffs, powders, douches
and washes. Ely's Cream Balm, which
is so highly commended, is a reme6 ?
which combines the important requi-
sites of quick action, specific curative
power with perfect safety and pleas
antness to the patient.

Prehistoric Ruins of New Mexloo.


Everywhere about the valleys OF
New Mexico, invariably upon emf
nences, and usually upon high, fat
topped mesas or table hills, are the
ruins Of houses OF the ancient semi
civilized Indian population that lived
here and titled the soil before the
coming of the Spaniards, four Gen.
turtles ago. The numbers OF this old
population can be only vaguely in
ferred by the numerous cobblestOne
foundations of their houses, still
well defined above the surface of the
ground, and by the debris OF the
fallen walls which constitute hillocks,
grass-grown and intermixed with
occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments Of pottery.
This pottery when turned up by the
spade is found to be handsome and
varied in color and as fresh Of tint as
it could have been when the village
was destroyed or abandoned and
every tradition OF its existence lost
