HI Fri t Beecher Stowe.

The name Of that author of that
American classic, Uncle Tom S
Cabin, will live for ever, al
though the hard that wrote that
remarkable work lies cold and
still. 1t is something to be thus
identified; to be located by a land
mark like such work. Thus,
"Uncle Tom S Cabin" recalls Mrs.
Stowe; the telegraph recalls Frank
lin, and a god comfortable jour
ney recalls the st. Paul Il Duluth
Railroad, which is the people S
popular route between st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Duluth, West Su-
perior, Saltwater and other inn
portant northwestern points. The
Duluth Short Line has long en-
joyed this popularity, and it makes
a speciality of keeping its patrons
by being up to date and alive to
their interests. It's trains are
modern, fast and convenient. and
make close connections with trains
running to all points OF the com :
pass. Always take the Duluth
Short Lime and go with the people.

amount of idle money in the
| National Bank in Wall Street that
they were ioaning on call at J OF
/ per cent per annum and those
bankers thought by raiding the
U. S. Treasury and getting its
gold they could force the govern
ment to issue large amount OF
bonds, that would pay them a t II
rate of interest or their idle mon
~. Government bonds are not
taxable. The richer man is, the
more U. S. bonds he holds. the
less he pays for the protection and
running expenses OF the govern
ment.
Does any sane man believe that
because the shortage in the treas
ury receipts for the past year was
about 26 millions, that it was
necessary to issue 100 millions or
more of 3O-year bonds on that
account!
The actual Cause of the shortage
was the shrinkage Of values and
the adverse dee sion of the u. S.
Supreme Court on the income tax
law.
To illustrate the effect of the
shrinkage Of values: suppose the
duty is 40 per cent, the article cost
81, the revenue to the government
40 cents. Suppose the price falls
to Soc, the duty Is 40 per cent, or
32c revenue, a loss to the govern
ment of s cents. Then it is a fair
estimate that the income tax
would have brought from 80 to 50
millions of dollars. This just tax
was turned down by a judge who
at first voted to support the law
and then in very short time sud
denly changed his mind, making
when he changed 5 against and 4
for the law. Such a ruling or de-
cision is not very satisfactory to
70 million Of people and they can
not be expected to be satisfied with
such narrow margin. The ques-
ton is too large and too vital to
be put aside by the change Of one
Judges mind in a very blief time.
The real cause of our distrust,
or want Of confidence, is the fear
that the United States will not be
able to sustain itself on a gold
basis. A fear that gold will not
be abundant enough to redeem all
our obligations, credit money sill
yer included. At present silver is
credit money as much as treasury
notes or greenbacks. What the
Dime tdllSCS WdnG is III rest ore
silver to its old well tried and well
tested position as money where it
will not be necessary Tor it to be
redeemed in gold, where it vii be
acknowledged as money metal at
the u. S. MINIS and then it can
help bear the burden that gold is
trying TO carry alone. That IS
the only honest way. The gold
bugs have taken the props out
from under silver, by demonetiz-
ing it, and now they kick it for
falling. In the language Of the
Arena, "Give US free coinage of
silver or else demonetlze gold.

FRANK BARROwS' CASE.
Hearing Postponed on Account of
Couuspl'S Illness.

Chief Justice Bingham yesterday after
noon postponed the hearing of the habeas
corpus proceedings in the case of Frank
Barrows, who was Saturday released from
the Reform school
Mr. Lipscomb, the boys counsel, is i'll
and Mr.. Stutzke, his associate, desired a
postponement The court was Informed that
the petitioners desired full hearing in
the case. Mr.. Arms, representing Col. Clay
and the reform school board, endeavored
10 compel the boys return to the institu-
ton pending a hearing of the case.
Itwas shown that Frank Barrows is now
a messenger at q Jewelry establishment in
this city. and the court refused to send him
back to the school. The case will come up
next Monday morning.

Prese nts for Every One.

But two other people outside of tho Sc
mentioned had any connection with this
memorable event. They were Miss
Mordaunt VIII on, the matron Of the home,
and her assistant, Miss ChartreS. The
thousand and one duties they had to per
form can lie guessed quicker than they can
be enumerated.
AT tn" hour mentioned the children We're
introduced TO the big lecture han, in the
new gymnasium .p,lilding, and while they
looked and wondered at the tree Mr..
Santa made his appearance and distributed
the score of dolls the little Breckinridgcs
and Lannon'S had dressed. Naturally, the
dolls were the most important adjunct OF
the occasion. but they did the little boys
no good.
Therefore, Mr.. Santa made another cX-
cursion into the great basket that hung
on his back, and brought forth books, and
horns, and horses, and steam engines, and
chariots, and elephants, and drums, and
houses, and blocks, and boats, and trains,
everything, until the lecture hail
looked like a division OF his own workshop.
The whole thing was over in time for
the boys who sold afternoon papers to
reach the offices and purchase their sup
plies, and they, the little girls, and the
little Brecklnridges and Lannon'S, and Mr..
Santa declared it was by all odds the
greatest time that ever happened.

THE ROYAL ROAD.
Good Food Is the Only Way

It's a mans bad habits that hurt him
more than overwork. The little habits OF
coffee and tobacco hurt worse than some
OF the big ones, because they are continued
more steadily ythanthe greater habits. Many
a man is simply poisoned to death by the
alkaloids of coffee and tobacco and never
will believe what is hurting him. Let him
quit tobacco and use Postum Cereal, the
food drink, in place of coffee, and very
soon he finds that nature, the great re-
storer, is at work. No medicine is needed,
simply quit doing those things which poi
son and waste the energy, and let nature
build into body and brain from good food.
Postum is made entirely of grains by the
Postum Cereal Co., linn. Of Battle Creek,
Mich, and is nourishing and fattening.
Use plain, common food and the food
drink tit looks like coffee, but is notl.
Health will come and be of much more
solid character than when patched up with
drugs.
