grounds, so that in order to reach it
they were obliged to traverse the CEN
ter of the town and cross the railroad
tracks.
Roger, who had been detained q
moment or so longer than the others,
reached the station short time after
they had crossed, and found the
platforms crowded with people who
were returning from the game,
mingled with those who were alight-
ing from incoming trains. AS
he stepped upon the platform he be-
came conscious that something un-
usual was going on, and he immedi-
ately perceived that the eyes of the
multitude were riveted upon figure
halfway across the tracks, figure
pausing there in bewilderment.
There's a train coming each way"
somebody gasped; "why doesn't he
get off the track?"
The station agent and one or two
other officials were shouting loudly,
but the man, who was old and very
deaf, appeared thoroughly dazed. As
he was prepared TO step on the track
nearest him he had caught sight of
one train coming down upon him, and
he now staggered back and was about
to plunge in front of the other down
coming express, when suddenly some-
thing very unexpected happened.

tionally fine students, which made
the contrast all the more striking.
For Roger was remarkably unlike
his brothers. He seemed to labor
under the impression that he had been
semitic college simply and solely for
the purpose of learning to play foot
ball. Apparently nothing else had
power to kindle the slightest en-
thusiasm in his sluggish breast and
his father and mother argued and ex-
postulated with him in vain.
sis there any prospective benefit to
be derived from these hours spent in
scrabbling after football?" his faith

And so Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett fail ed
to witness that memo rable game in

himself such enviable laurels. Once

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The NezV York Tribune says: 1.-THE habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient Is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them Is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium iend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
once used, aizoays in favor. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.

that his mother had to put him to bed.
But the old lady didn't scold him at all.

be 'in such q condition again.. We judge
from this that the honorable gentleman
thereafter never took on" more than ne
could conveniently Garry"

and political attacks that have been MADE
upon him. he makes this statement, after
giving his reply to an accusation on tnat
score made years ago:
II have often since been accused or
the crime Of being rich but as nearly
all my possessions are visible TO the naked
eye and their history and acquisition are
known to many. l think 1 am not re-
quired to prove that l have not made
them as the result OF legislation, or my
holding OF public trusts"
All the same, 1t Is the wonder OF the
country how he, who entered the public
service poor, and who was never in re-
ceipt OF any but a moderate salary, could
have become a rich man. II his fortune
was not made "as the result of legisla-
tion." or OF his holding Of public trusts"
how was It made? The common BELIEF
Is that Mr.. Shermsn's public positions
gave him opportunities to forecast hnan-
clal events. and that he ayailed himself
of these opportunities to invest what
ever surplus income he had to great ad-
vantage.

Tho Sultan's Backdown,

There seems TO be some doubt as
~ the scope OF the scheme of Armenian
reforms approved by the Sultan. One set
OF dispatches conveys the impression
that he has yielded Internationally to
the demands Of the three Powers-Great
Britain. Russia, ard France-wnlle an
other is TO the effect that he has agreed
IN The reforrn-scherre with certain mo-
difcations." which are not explained.
To ada 10 the confusion, we were toid
the other day that the Powers had per
emptorily renewed their demand, but IL
was not clear whether this meant an
insistance on the carrying out or the pro-
gramme OF May llth, or on the accept
ance OF an amended scheme.
But. in any event. the Porte has ois-
played wisdom, and again STAYED OF the
Inevitable partition OF Turkey Not only
had the three governments that forHlu-
lated the scheme about lost their pa
tieuce but there was Il pressure behind
them. urging that the sick man must
submit or 90, that could not nave peeh
resisted much longer
II the Sultan has approved the scheme
OF May nth his backdown is complete
That scheme was most drastic anu far-
reaching. 1t provided for general re-
organization Of the gendarmerie, and po-
Ice and the judiciary under through
system OF checks against the reorgani-
zation's becoming imperative or ineffec-
tive Mahometan was to be check
on Christian where the Mahometan
population was In the majority. and vice
versa: and this arrangement was to be
50 adjusted as to avoid comforting arbi-
trary or irresponsible power under either
condition.
No matter. however, what the scope
of the scheme approved, a great point
has been gained in the interest OF hui
mainly, and there has been concert OF
action among three OF the leading Powers
touching this matter that should have
taken place years ago. In this light
alone the situation Is most encouraging.
and IL is earnestly to be hoped that the
iealousles OF Great Britain and Russia
will not prevent the pursuit OF the
good work until the 'amelioratlon" of
the condition OF the Christians and others
not OF the Moselem faith living In Turkish
provinces shall have been fully accom-
plished.

down as certain. The first Is that
the Democratic National Convention
must be controlled by the Silverites next
year. or never. Single-issue parties have
short lives. The second is that 1t is al
ready reasonably certain that the Stl-
verites will not control the Democratic
National Convention OF next year. In

would seem to be the part OF wisdom on

party, and leave side-issues out Of the
