ASK THILE YOU'RE ASKING.

If you want to get all rich man has just ask him for it. And don't ask him for it in installments. Ask for the whole at once, and you will get it-that is, ie he is the kind of rich man that will give it to you. This cheering ad- vice is based on some remarks which the rich MT. Rockefeller has been mak- ing. When he was asked the other day why he gave so literally to the Chicago university and why none of his gifts to other causes was as large as these he explained that it was due to the way President Harper went about it. Some one was asking him for a small gift, so small as to be of very little importance to him, one which he could give without feeling it, and yet he declined. This is the difference," he said. You come here for small contribution. When Harper came to me, he said: MT. Rockefeller, I want to bu-ld the greatest university in the world in Chicago Later when he came about a telescope he said: MT. Rocke- feller, I want to get a telescope for the Chicago university that will be the big gest in the world, and want you to help me- If he had come for a small contribution I might not have noticed it, but he wanted to eclipse the world
 and ! like that in man. And when you come to beating the world it takes capital, and I have been drained by it, ' and then he added with grim satisfac- ton: But we are beating the world" We hope those who want what rich men have will take the hint furnished by MT. Rockefeller, and ask them fol it. In many cases they will certainly get as much by asking for all as by ask ing for part. Somebody ought to try the experiment. on Russell Sage If oui rich men want to be world beaters ir giving as well as making, they ought te have the opportunity.

4 MINNESOTA PLAN.

Wise men in Minnesota have discov- cred that the State will need more trees than it is likely to have at the present rate of forest-annihilation. So a scheme of a great forest reserve has been devised and sent out for public approval. According to this scheme the legislature is to constitute State, county and town boards of forestry, and one member appointed by the diff ferent public organizations of the State for sanitary ard industrial purposes is to be chosen to act with each one of these boards, who are to choose from the whole number an executive com mittee of three. The owners of pine lands which have been numbered over, and which are not suitable for agricul- turaI purposes, may deed them to the State when recommended by town and county forestry boards, and thus be ex- empt from taxes. This land shall be called the deserved EOTeSL Area. . One-third of the future income of such lands shall go to the State to reimburse it, and the towns and counties for care and protection and loss of taxes. An other third shall go to the person deed- ing the land and his heirs for period of one hundred years, after which it is to go to some institution, and the other third is to go to the State university or to a designated institution. The State shall have power to sell dead and down timber, and generally to have full control where the demands of civiliza- ton may require changes in the forest domain. This plan looks to the secur- ing and maintaining of large areas in permanent forests, and it will furnish examples which private forest owners will be eager to follow.
 There has been reckless and short sighted dealing with trees in many parts of this country. There are signs now of an awakening to the harm that has been done and the remedy for it. It is to be hoped that the awakening will lead to sensible and profitable ac- ton.

As even the Church isn't bucking the
 bicycle very successfully the Illinois
 Humane society did q bold thing when 1t tackled it. But 1t did tackle it and
 got thrown. as everybody and every
 thing else that gets in its way does.
 The society had seen with pain and ap-
 prehension that large numbers of Chi
 cago bicyclers were in the habit Of talk
 ing their babies out to ride with them.
 Said babies were strapped in a basket or other contrivance and seemed to be having about as good time as baby
 can have. But the society thought that
 such use of 0 baby was more cruel
 than tossing it up into the air, shaking 1t, taking it out to ride in a baby car- riage with it's head hanging over the side, etc, etc. So it made up it's mind
 to stop 1t, But 1t didn't stop 1t, al- though it said among other things | that the rapid and unnatural motion
 was pad for baby brain. Judge Tuley 1 said that the law on which the society
 relied was unconstitutional. So the H.
 linois babies will continue to go with
 the bicycle and have a good time.
 Make way for the bicycle, with or without the baby attachment. Every thing and everybody that stands in its way acts contrary to the constitution | and contrary to human nature.

Prince Bismarck is not one oe those who believe that any form of govern ment, however perfect in theory, would bring contentment. In receiving a dep- utation from Bremen and Bremerhaven the other day, he said: Nobody is ever quite satisfied, and it would be a mis- fortune if all were. All striving after something better would be at an end if everybody were content-that is clear. God has therefore planted discontent in us as a spur, and therefore each of you will have His wishes and be grateful to our public institutions in so far that they give you the possibility of satisfy ing those wishes as far as human im- perfections admit of it. But give up believing that general state of con- tent will ever arise in the world, either by means of social democracy or in any

Those who want to know as soon as possible how an election goes will be interested in the way the vote is ex- peditiously counted in St. Louis. In that oity there are two sets of judges and clerks at each polling-place. The voting Is done or the Australian sys- teln Under the law, one set of judges and clerks, comprising & Republican and a Democrat, have charge of the voting for an hour. At the close of the hour they take the hallot-bcx and begin to count the ballots that have been cast. In the meanwhile another ballot-box is substituted and the other set of judges and clerks take charge of the voting. At the end of their hour they, in their turn, begin to count the votes. By this system of alternating the judges, the vote is kept counted as it is cast, and the complete result is attainable within an hour after the polls close. A heavy penalty hangs over any one who announces how the vote stands at any polling-place until after the polls are closed and the final results are reached.

It is possible that Florida will yet find wealth in camphor. Camphor is in greater request now than 1t used to be. The Reporter newspaper of Orlando ex- plains why, as follows: The camphor forests of Formosa are practically ex- hausted, and those of Japan are under government control, thus practically giving the latter country a monopoly of the business. One leading cause for the increased demand is that the slnokeless powder which has lately come into prominence is composed largely of camphor.

RECIPROCITY BILL.
Scheme Suggested by Representative
IlOpkiuS.

Washington, April 9.-The reciprocity
bill offered by Representative Hopkins,
which the Subcommittee of the house
on ways and means will report to the
full committee as a substitute for the
numerous measures relating to reci-
prOcity and retaliation and which Is
entitled bill to increase and equalize
the trade of the United States with
foreign nations by the negotiation of re-
ciprocal commercial arrangements, au-
thorizes and directs the president to
negotiate with foreign governments
whose exports are in excess of their i'm
ports from the United States and whose
chief articles of imports are admitted
free into the United States with Il view
to arranging commercial agreements in
which reciprocal and equivalent con-
cessions may be secured In favor of the
products of the farms. forests, fisheries.
mines and manufactures of the United
States. The bill authorizes the presi-
dent when Determinations are made
against this government by foreign
countries to refuse to enter into re-
ciprocal commercial agreements and to
issue proclamation thereof. whereupon
the highest rates of duties imposed in
any of the tariff laws that have been
in force since January, 1860, shall be
enforced in all particulars.
The bill as explained by its author
applies to countries whose exports are
greater than their imports from the
United States, whose chief articles of
imports are imported free; whose eX-
ports are admitted into the United
States at an average rate of duty.

imposed upon the United States by
their customs tariff; those imposing

neighbors to adopt the golden rule in
commercial reciprocity"

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not Be Alarmed, but Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the worry
and excitement Of American business
life, II Is more often the result Of weak
stomachs. Of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease Is incur
able; but not one case In q hundred OF
heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves. the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart il
affected by that form of poor diges-
ton from half digested food; there is
a feeling Of oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes 1t thin and watery, which ir-
ritates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation OF
food
This can best be done by the regular
use. after meals, of some safe. pleasant
and effective digetive preparation, like
Sfuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements, in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time, will cure any form
Of stomach trouble except cancer OF
the stomach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold
by most druggists at 80 cents or by mail
from Stuart company, Marshall, Mich.
