Tho Monroe Doctrine.

New York World.
Senator Hill is entirely right in
saying that the Monroe doctrine does
not make the United States the arbi-
ter of all the difficulties in which
Spanish-Amefican countries may in
volve themselves. II it did, this
country would have virtual pro-
tectorate over the entire hemisphere
something it does not wish and
cannot afford to have.
1t is also true, as the senator says,
that the Monroe doctrine did not
change the laws of nations, but it is
even truer. as indeed it may be in.
ferred from his views, that it is itself
a part of the law of nations.
Laws of nations are rules Of inter.
national politeness and nothing more.
They represent a general understand
ing that if this thing or that is done
it is likely to lead to war. And ever
since the time of James Monroe il
has been generally understood thai
the attempt of any European
power to subjugate and take away
the territory of any American coun.
try is very likely to mean war with
the United States.
This understanding has taken SC
strong q hold on the American peo-
pie that it is part OF the supreme
law of the country-not the less but
all the more binding because it i:
unwritten. 1t was this unwritter
law which forced Louis Napoleon tC
retire from Mexico, and it is by thi.
law that European powers are pre-
vented from dividing up the terri
tory of weak South American coun
tries as they have divided up every
thing else in sight.
No European country which doe
not intend to declare war on TIT
United States will attempt to violate
the Monroe doctrine. But there il
nothing in the Monroe doctrine Il
prevent South American countries
. from getting soundly whipped wheI
they deserve it. This is their affairs
not ours.

rived in that city by a private car.

A Remarkable Cure.

Mrs. H. b. Adams, 1909 Wabash
avenue. Chicago. says: II had a
scrofulous faint Of the blood from
childhood, which, however, remained
dormant. An ulcer began on the
side of the nose, having all the ap-
pearances of . most malignant can
Ger. The agony of mind I suffered
cannot be described as l cohtem-
plated the progress Of such q malig-
nant disease. Finally / was induced
TO try Foley's Sarsaparilla. 1t ap-
peared to neutra.ize the poison in
the blood. The growth Of the ulces
ceased. The diseased tissues in the
bottom and edges of the sore seemed
to loosen and the natural flesh to
take its place. No part Of the dis
ease remains" n. F. Bahnsen's

The Union says its criticisms OF
Mayor Medill's administration have
been broad-minded and generous aud
have left no sting behind. The
Unions roasts do not amount to
much. No complaint has been made
as to their effect-it is merely the
disposition that has been commented
upon.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1895-05-09

THE morning paper says the insin-
uation that the Union has borne or
shown ill will to Mayor Medill dur
ing the two years of his administra-
ton is untrue, and without conceiv-
able foundation. The morning pa
per is either very forgetful, or is a
willful prevar!catOr. Between these
shortcomings it can take its pick.

A Runaway.

Charles l.. Dignowity's buggy
was run away with on West Com
merce street yesterday afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock. The horse ran
into Yturri street, where the buggy
collided with an express wagon
and was turned over. The horse
ran down the street to the river,
where it was caught by several
boys. Mr.. Dignowity gave the
remnants of the buggy to the boys
for catching the horse. AS luck
happened, no one was on the street
at the time, or there would have
probably been more serious re-
suits.

A PEOPLE or Frw WORDS.

Let your speech be yea. yea, and nay,
nay" says the Good Book, for whatso-
ever is more than these cometh of evil"
The Shakers abide by the spirit Of this
rule. Their words are few, simple, sim
cere and direct, They waste no energy
in idle talk. they use 1t in thinking and
doing And whatever they do they do
with their might. They are content with
nothing short of the essence and prin-
ciples Of the things they investigate,
They take pains and are patient. And
thus the doors of many strange truths
open to them. In this way they discov-
cred what may almost be called the unity
of disease. A venerable Shaker says OF
It.: 1T is said that one mans meat Is an
other mans poison. That is but half the
truth. Any mans meat is any mans
poison. under certain conditions. II the
grain never got further than the hopper
we should never have bread: and II bI ead
never got further than the stomach we
should never have strength. When the
stomach is torpid, helple IS and inflamed
the food lies in 1t and rotS. This fermen-
tation produces poisOns which may, and
often do, disorder every other organ and
function OF the body. This Is Indigestion
or dyspepsia, with many symptoms and
DISCUSSES. Cure it and you cure nine
tenths of our complaints" These words
were uttered many years ago. Since then
they have found remedy, now known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is made
from medicinal plants cultivated by them.
1t is a good food and digeSts other foods.
Taken while eating it rests the stomach
and nourishes the system. The pains and
distresses of dyspepsia disappear before
it. 1t prevents fermentation and soon
restores full power to the digestion. 1t
succeeds in the worst cases. 1t is worthy
the name of the people whose name it
bears. Any druggist will sell you trial
bottle for ten cents.

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT
The philosophy of life is the
most important and valuable
acquisition that human being
can, possibly, make. 1t consists
in the art of being happy.
By .sedulously cultivating the
habit of being happy, we gradually
and insensibly slide into the habit
Of happiness-the normal condi,
ton of man.
Unhappiness is an abnormal
condition, yet it is susceptible of
cultivation and soon ripens into
fixed habit. Grumbling, scolding,
fretting. looking at the dark side
of everything magnifying mole
hills into mountains, and indulg-
ing in moods of dependency, soon
grow and harden into settled
habits.
The despotism Of habit, both
good and evil, is demonstrated
daily. There is volume of truth
compressed into the adage that
"habit is second nature"
Our tastes, dispositions, tenn
peraments, thoughts, and minds
soon conform to our habits, good
or evil.
But how shall we 60 to work to
acquire the art of being happy?
By resolving and seeking to be
pleased and happy, and stunning
whatsoever is likely to sow thorns
in our minds.
The heart is no more the seat of
happiness or misery than is the
liver, or the lungs. "The mind"
as Milton says, "can make hell
of heaven, and heaven OF hell"
III we are determined to be
pleased with any person, or thing,
we are sure to be pleased, and vice
versa. The first step in the
philosophy of life or the art OF
being happy, is fixed purpose OF
mind to be pleased and happy.
This causes us to seek happiness,
and to shun all which antagonizes
happiness.
The mind is just as susceptible
of being trained, developed and
strengthened, as is the body by
gymnastic exercises, and hence,
we can form habit of happiness,
or habit of unhappiness.
Happiness is the normal condi-
tion of children. Their griefs,
vexations and disappointments
are as feeting as a passing cloud
or a flash of lightning. They
vanish ahd leave no sting behind
to worry and vex the mind.
Children are pleased with every
thing about them and do not
brood over their childish sorrows
and disappointments.
Adult men and women can
acquire the frame of mind which
is natural to children-the habit
Of being pleased and happy and
the habit OF excluding from their
minds all disagreeable subjects
and reflections.
Human misery comes from the
neglect to learn and acquire the
| philosophy of life, the art of being
happy. 1t is easier to be happy
than to be unhappy, If people
would but resolve to be happy.
Men make themselves unhappy
in one Of two ways, either by brood
ing over their mistakes and hopes,
or by anticipating troubles and
disasters in the future.

PostnI Red Tame.

The rule of the dead letter office is to
make extraordinary effort to return all
missent letters which are found to con-
tain money. But blind obedience to
this rule is the basis of an entertaining
story. A boy in the Indian school on
the Skokomish reservation, which is
about three miles from the postofice of
Union City, Wash, wrote letter TO
his brother at Seabeck some time ago,
inclosiug in it small sum of money.
He also wrote on tho envelope that, if
it should not be delivered in proper
time, was to be returned to the writ
er. His brother did not call for it, and
1t was returned to Union City The
postmaster there had not heard Of the
boy, and on inquiry failed to find him.
Accordingly he sent tho letter 10 the
dead letter Office.
On arrival here 1t was opened, and it
had money i'll ii, 1t was returned to
Union City with a long letter of instrup'
tions to find the writer, II possible,
After inquiry the boy was at last found
and was requested TO go In person,
claim the letter and receipt for 1t, and
the postmaster had to go through as
much red tape AS ii the letter contained
81, 900. The joke becomes evident when
it ia known that tho money in the letter
amounted TO only cent postage stamp
aud a copper cent. New York Tribune,
