boy in that city who has written let
ter to the school board which shows
that the average American youth can
see point before he sits down on it.
He says: ''Mr. Director-My sister,

me oftener than she did the others so
they wouldn't think she was partial. 1

TRIALS OF A PUBLIC MAN.

1t Takes Time to Get Used to the Ways
of Newspaper Correspondents.
A new member of the senate was
complaining to an old member of some
of the difficulties he was encountering.
"For one thing" he said, "these news
paper fellows don't always get things
straight. l don't mean to accuse them
of carelessness or of intentional misrep-
resentation, but now and then some re-
markable stories are printed about me
at home.
"You'll get used to that, " replied
the veteran. "That won't hurt. That's
part of your apprenticeship. I've been
all along there. Let me tell you of a
little experience of mine. Soon after l
first came here picked up paper from
my state and saw it asserted in letter
from Washington that my colleague
and myself had met and arranged a
slate, and that all the patronage for the
state would be distributed according to
that arrangement.
"There was no warrant for the state
ment, and l made inquiries for the cor

thority, and he pleasantly refused to
give it, but said that he had every faith
in bis informant. To that replied that
all l would ask, then, would be the
privilege of denying the story-of put
ting my statement against the other.
He said that was only fair and that he
would attend to the matter.
"When the correction appeared, 1t
read something like this: Your CORE

Senator - and his colleague, by
which the patronage Of the state is to
be divided between them, has raised
quite stir here. There is no question
as to its absolute truth. But Senator

by the publication, now solemnly as
sures your correspondent that he had
nothing whatever to do with the deal.
After that went slow on corrections. -

Girls who


girls and factory girls and housewives suf-
fer from Indigestion and constipation and
bilious troubles. No wonder they are sub
ject to the diseases of the delicate special
organism of their sex. The wonder is
rather that they can stand it as well as
they do.
But "a poor weak woman" as she is
termed, will endure bravely and patiently
agonies which a strong man would give
way under. The fact is women are more
patient than they ought to be under such
troubles.
