About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had
an attack of diarrhoea, accompa.
MED by vomiting. l gave it such
remedies as are usually given in
such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician, and
it was under his care for week.
At this time the child had been
sick for about 10 days, and was
having about % operations of the
bowels every II hourse, and we
were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy was rec.
commended, and ] decided to try it.
| soon noticed a change for the
better; by its continued use a
complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy

Nowhere, Tenn.

We may discourse upon the
merits and dement's of public
speakers, but the results will be
the same-we will honestly differ,
more or less. However, there are
circumstances peculiar to the oc.
casion wherein an audience as
semblage may agree. One of this
sort occurred lately in our quiet,
little village, for which, | trust,
the entire state will give us credit.
1t was thus: A bevy of young.
sters, both male and female your
correspondent being present. were
discussing the merits and dement's
of certain young elocutionists who
had spoken their pieces at the eX-
hibitions on Childrens' Day.
One young lady, a Miss Splen-
did, had made an extraordinary
display of her ability as an elocu-
ZIONIST, and she, being present,
was complimented and praised to
her hearts content. She thanked
us modestly by saying: 81 don't
like flattery any better than a fish
does water"
Then a Miss Inform said: "You
did do real well, Miss Splendid,
but Miss Gossip says that you
were 80 'fistey' you couldn't stand
still.n
Miss Splendid replied: ooh,
I could have stood as still as q lit.
tie mousse but flea bit mel"
Then we all laughed and we,
the males of the group, sprang to
our feet and gave three cheers for
the-FLEA! The young lady
looked mystified for moment,
then "caught on" and her coun.
tenance flashed "moonlight and
roses" and bowling sweetly, said;
"Gentlemen, / thank you for your
compliment" Then we gave
nine cheers for-the lady.
We had agreed! o, We blessed
flea!

WAsHINGTON, d. c., Aug. :, 1888. AS
sistant Secretary Howell today gave out
the following statement relative to the
governments receipts and disbursements
during the last fiscal year
The receipts, including Pacific railroad
items, were S405, 321, $50, and the expen-
ditures, including Pacific railroad items,
S7443, :'6S, 5S2, leaving a deficit of 23S, DAT,
241.
II we exclude the receipts from Pacific
railroads, amounting to S64, 10 ,223, and
the expenditures on this account of
81 $40, 36S, the account would stand: Re-
ceipts, s340, SO, Ill, and expenditures,
S43S, $40, 2l4, leaving deficit of S9S, 249,
1913.
This large deficit is accounted for in
part by the extraordinary demands upon
the treasury to carry on the war. A con-
servative estimate OF the war expenses dur
ing the months of March, April, May and
June is 500, 900, 600.
If we deduct this from the sos, 249, 1913,
the deficit would be So, 249, 1O3. In other
words, the deficit would not have exceed
ed this amount on close basis.
During the last fl We months of the year
our receipts exceeded our expenses on a
peace basis by over 50, 800, 600; or, to ex-
press it in another way, the tariff law of
1897 produced during the last five months
OF the fiscal year IA revenue which exceeded
our ordinary expenditures by over 50, 0O0-
600

been cheered from the 'bleachers'' for his
track athletics, we believe large span
may be fetched; but the unanimity of spirit
and high patriotism prevailing through
out the troop has brought them together
shoulder to shoulder, man to man. This
is rarely fine, and breaches a whole re-
lglon for the success of what is best in
our republic. When one inquiries what
centralzing force has been able to bring
this singleness of aim about, the answer
is unavoidable that it has been the CON
vincing personality and charm of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. ..#"
Since Theodore Roosevelt graduated
from Harvard in 1880, he has played many
parts. In political life he has been New
York State Assemblyman, United States
Civil Service Commissioner, Police Com
missioner Of New York City, and Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, In literature
he is we'll known as the author of several
historical works, and descriptions and
stories of Western frontier life. ga ~
When Roosevelt organized his troop the
President offered to make him colonel, but
he declined the commission. 81 am not

Many times during the past few months
rumOrs have gone the round OF newspapers
that the Queen Regent of Spain had de-
cided to abdicate her throne in favor of
her young son. Sc 1t was in the early
part of 1897 in reference to Queen Victoria.
In both cases the abdicaton is spoken of
as if it were of common occurrence, yet
history shows that voluntary abdcation is
rare. According to the author Of IF the
Queen had Abdicated,'' in the August
uuIlUtl VI II per queen
in this case being Victoria-there has
been no case of voluntary abdication in
England and only half dozen cases in
all, as follows: In 10 BIC. Sulla abdi-
Gated the dictatorship of Rome. In 305
AID. Docletian abdicated the imperial
throne. In 1855 Charles V. of Spain abdi-
Gated. Then there are the abdications
Of Christina of Sweden in 1854, Philip V.
of Spain in 1724, and Louis Bonaparte of
Holland in 1S10.'
Perhaps nothing has shown the wonder
full adaptability of the average American
more than the way in which the men of
the greatest differences in training, birth,
and condition, drawn with an impartial
estimate of fitness from all over the coun-
try, and now composing the already his
