LICKED ENGLAND DEAD EASY
Some of the Development That Surprised
John Bull in 1919.


Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 31.-F. s. Smith
writes the following to the Leader: Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, England's chan
cellor Of the exchequer, by newspaper
reports recently in referring to the Ven
ezuelan trouble is thus reported:
THE chancellor warned his hearers
against exaggerating the gravity of the
Venezuelan trouble. Some persons, he
went on, however. to say, talk OF the
impoSsibility of war between the uni
ted States and Great Britain because of
the ties of kinship between the two ma
tons. Nothing was impossible, ne as

UNINSTRUCTEDD DELEGATES.
when politicians commence to talk
about sending uninStructed delegates
anywhere, nine times out of ten they
are scheming to defeat some public ia
vorite. They say to the people, Send
US uninstructed, and We will be able to
get the state in on the ground floor
They may get themselves in on the
ground floor, but not the people.
do you suppose that If Kansas went
for Mckinley, and Reed got the nomi-
nation, that Kansas would get any
fewer offices? OF course not Presi-
dent Reed would treat the state as fair
ly as President Mckinley could. If
Kansas stood up for her choice, Reed
would think none the less of her. Send
an uninstructed delegation, and, of
course, they would do a fine job of
trading around their own ends, but
how would that help the state?
THE friends l like, the party I like,
the government / like, must be for
something straight out and loyalty, or
/ don't like them.
THE people of Kansas are going to
have choice for president of the Unit
ed States, and it is their right, not only
to express that choice, but to have it
faithfully recorded in the national con-
yention. What an assumption IL is to
tell you and me that we must smother
our choice for president so that a lot Of
fellows may go down to st. Louis and
make friends for themselves! II is con-
trary TO our theory Of a choice by the
people, and the state of Kansas should
never consent to such throttling."
With this Mr.. Leland closed the long
est speech he has ever made. He
spoke with an earnestness which lifted
him out of the role of politician and
made him talk like statesman.
1t rs evident that the fight IL on, and
that il is going To be a beautiful one.

Our readers have no doubt noticed the

The Chattanooga Medicine Company. the
owners of McEIree's Wine Of Cardui and
TheufOrd's Black k-Draught, the medi-
cines used in this simple treatment are
giving much attention to their Iowa
business this year, and advertisements
similar to those appearing in the Mes
senger are seen in all the leading pa
pers of the state. These medicines are
already we'll known here. and are sure
to have increased popularity from this
extensive advertising.

Counting The Cash.

United States Treasurer D. N.
Morgan and his assistants, Messrs
G. G.. Bantz, L. o. Murray and
Geo. H. Smith, experts from Was
hington, were very busy yesterday
with their work of counting the
money in the subtreasury at the
Custom House.
The task will require eight or
ten days, and during that time
several millions of dollars have to
be counted and the books made to
balance even to a cent. The ac-
countants will be busy for the first
few days with the bank bills, and
the average citizen of New Or
leans would gaze with astonish-
ment to see one of the experts run
through a package of 100 ten-dol-
lar bills so rapidly that the eye
could not distinguish the separate
bills, and yet there is seldom a
mistake made.
On a little table in front of the
experts were places bundles of
clean new bills to the amount of
several hundred thousand dollars,
and as soon as one of these pac-
kages was counted it was marked
by one of the men and laid aside.
The piles of greenbacks looked
very inviting, and it was difficult
for the reporter to realize that so
much wealth was represented by
those few thin, crisp sheets.
"Oh, that is nothing" said Tre-
asurer Morgan, 81 have held in
my arms as much as S100,0OO,0 900
of dollars at one time, and what
you see here is but a fraction of
that amount" There was signs,
however, that all that wealth was
not SO unprotected as it looked, as
in a rack within reach of the ac-
countants were four Winchesters,
and there were also revolvers and
other weapons lying about the ia
bles.
By the last of the week the bills
will all have been counted; and
the expects will turn their atten-
tion to the specie in the vaults.
The subtreasury at New Orleans
is the first to which Mr.. Morgan
has personally giten his attention,
and that gentleman said yesterday
that he was very much pleased to
be able to visit this city at SO plea

How to Get q Play Acted.

You ask me how to get play acted.
I can tell you to moral certainty.
In the first place, you must write play
that Is bound to be a success, and this fact
must be apparent to any manager merely
from reading 1t over.
Make it original, startling, witty, in
tensely interesting, with plenty of action,
etc.
Typewrite it and have 1t copyrighted.
Then take it to a manager. Ask him to
read 1t and leave it with him.
After he has had it six months call for
it.
Call again two months later. BY this
time he has been able to give the story and
most of the dialogue to some hack writer,
who, under his directions, can reproduce
1t in as good form as 1t was in the orig
inal. You will probably get it back this
time. 1t will be dirty and some of the
pages missing where the strongest scenes
are, but you can have it retypewritten.
Now take it to another manager He
will act precisely as the first did, but he
will be quicker, not on your account, but
he will have heard that the first manager
is to produce that particular story under
different name, and he will have to hustle
on his own account. He has as much
right to it as the other manager, hasn't
her Therefore why should you kick?
You may burn the play up now and
watch tho fun. You have not only got it
produced but doubly produced, and in a
month the managers will be getting out
injunctions against each other.
Lie low and play your cards carefully.
If you are very, very shrewd and particu-
larly caution 8, perhaps you may be able to
get one or the other managers to give you
IS for testifying in his behalf. And by
testifying you not only make IS, but you
are enabled to decide which Of tho hack
writer's Is to be known as the writer of the
play.-Tom Hall In Truth.

Among Some OF the Fairest scenes
On the continent and in the tropics, ma
laria poisops the atmosphere with its
pestilential breath, sowing the seeds of
disease and death in every direction. 1t
is in such localities that the preventive
and remedial qualities of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are most conspicuously
shown. For every form of malaria it is
a signally efficacious remedy. and con-
quers disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, remedies inactivity of the kid
neys, snd couuteracts the weakness and
lack of stamina which invites disease by
levelling the barrier which a vigorous
operation of the digestive and secretive
organs opposes to 1t. No defensive ma
chine in use has stronger concentrations
in professional quarters both for purity
and remedial qualities.

Her Compromise.

He had been very, very persistent, and
an emotional persistent is one of the most
intensely disagreeable obstacles woman
goes up against in the path of her inclina-
tions.
If she had told him once that he was not
in it, referring to her affections, she had
told him SO a thousand times, but he never
minded that little bit.
What did he care what she cared? What
does any man, under similar circum-
stances, ever care what a woman cares SO
long as he wants her to care for him9
Nit.
He talks about his love for her, his faith
full, unselflsh, beautiful love, and how
gladly he would lay down his life for her
happiness and a lot moro of the same in
effably gorgeous CUFF, yet he balks like
badly broken horse If she so much as asks
him to step aside, please and make room
for some other fellow whom she loves and
presumably who loves her.
Bah for the love that is unequal to any
sacrifice!
Anyway that's the kind of chump this
chump was, and she would have attended
his marriage to another or his funeral with
never tear in her soft blue eyes and many
smile on her cherry lips.
Or something like that.
Still, womanlike she had never been
positive with him and he needed a club.
Women don't club this kind of man half
enough. They seem to prefer to suffer
themselves and let the men suffer for as
long time as possible.
However the crucial moment had come
and she was forced tO meet it face to face,
"Hear me out" he pleaded as she tried
to make him shut up. "Hear me out"
"No," she replied coldly, "no, but I'll
compromise with you. I'll see you out.
There's the door,
That was definite and he shut it behind
himself-New York Sun.

lungs is likely to transmit that weakness to
his children. But there is no reason in the
world why the weakness should be allowed
to develop. There is no reason why the
lungs should remain weak. Weak lungs
predispose a child to consumption. They
provide a place for germs to settle. That
is all that is necessary. Once let the germs
of disease gain a foothold and they in
crease with deadly rapidity. Pretty soon
healthfulness and its strengthening quail
ties If the weakness is in some other
organ, the disease will show itself in that
organ. The germs will get into the blood,
lust the same, and the body will begin to
lose strength. We speak particularly of
consumption because it is most common
because it causes more than one sixth of
all deaths in the world.
If there is weak and crumbly spot in
the foundation of house, the owner clears
out the decaying material, supplants it with
new, strong stuff That's all there is to do.
That's all that's necessary.
That is exactly the thing to do with the
lungs Keep them full of rich, red, whole
some blood, and the weakness will disap.
pear Decaying tissues will be thrown off,
and new material will be added until the
lungs are we'll and perfectly strong again.
This is the thing that Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery does. This is what
makes it cure % per cent. of all cases of
consumption where it is taken according to
directions. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be in the body. 1t ex-
terminates them completely and forces
them out of the system. 1t supplies the
blood with rich, life giving properties. l,

Then Tobacco Hunger Seized Them, and .
Strange Thing Happened.
"I'm fixed for tomorrow" said depart
ment law clerk, taking out Of his pocket
and exhibiting fat roll of fine cut tobacco
to newspaper friend as they were wend
ing their way on the avenue toward Capitol
hill last Saturday night. 81 always have
to get loaded at the end of the week"
"Same here" said the journalist, pull
ing out large plug. Don't know what
should do If couldn't find this in my
pocket on Sunday"
II presume we might do without 1t If
we were hard pushed" suggested the law
clerk. "I'm certain could break off if l
really wished to, and have used the weed
for 20 years. "
"I've used it longer than that" re-
sponded the newspaper man. "Of course
we could quit if we made up our minds to.
A little exercise Of our will power would
fix it,"
Speaking of will power, said the law
clerk as they stopped little later to talk
moment before separating for the night
just east of the capitol, "suppose we test
it; suppose we throw away our tobacco
and go without 1t for year, the first to
break his resolution to buy new hat for
the other. What do you say?"
Pencil Pusher hesitated for moment.
"Well, I'm with you. Here she goes ;"
And his big plug Of tobacco disappeared in
the bushes on the opposite side of the road
way with "chug."
"Here she goes" echoed the law clerk,
and his roll Of fine cut flew in the same
direction. Then they parted.
After late breakfast on Sunday morn
ing the newspaper man undertook to read
the papers. Couldn't; uneasy Then he
tried to write. Couldn't; too nervous.
After chewing up handful Of wooden
toothpicks he put on his hat and walked
out.
"After all, the best way is to break off
by degrees" he thought as his steps turned
mechanically toward the capitol grounds.
'Just one little chew would last me all
day" And he looked longingly over toward
that clump Of bushes
He noticed that the bushes were being
disturbed as though some animal were
pushing its way through them. Getting
little nearer he saw that what he took
for an animal was man upon his hands
and knees. A few steps farther, and he
recognized him.
1t was the law clerk. rk.-Washington Star.
