GLENDowER-"/caw call spirits

HorsPuR-" My, so can !, or
50 can any man.
But mill they come when you do
call for them s"-SHAKEsPEARE.
How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty
retort tears the tragic mantle in which
Glendower stalks, and shows beneath
the seer's robe, the motley of the mounte-
bank. Most people would have taken
the Welchman at his word, and called
him seer, without noting the difference
between to call and to command.
Certain points of comparison are sug-
gested between Glendower's tragic claim
and the comic claim made in some spe-
cious advertisements. ~ am a woman.
I know all about woman. l understand
woman, and can cure woman because l
am woman" The modern Mrs Hot.
spur puts her finger right on the weak
spot OF that clamorous claim by saying:
"Why If you can cure woman simply
because you are woman, then 50 can I
and so can any woman" Which very
plainly brings out the common sense
fact that the cure of diseases does not
depend upon being man or being a
voman but does depend upon being a
trained and experienced bhysician.

Lord Methuen reports that he re-

The enemy showed the greatest

More than fifty horses were found

500 rounds.

The Turkeys Thanksgiving.

"Ah!" II observed to the old turkey
cock, who was roosting by It's side. Il
wonder how pretty Mary is getting
along In her city homer"
"well enough" replied the old cock,
who, It must be confessed, was tough
in feelings as well as in body.
How I should like to see her! She
would be glad to see me, too"
"She may" returned the cock, sage
ly, as he prepared to fly to the topmost
branch Of the tree; "she may see you
before you expect her to-"
do you think so7" returned the tur-
key; enthusiastically.
II shouldn't Be surprised" replied
and with hop. skip and flop II was
soon safely perched on the very high
est branch OF the tree. But this ro-
mantle, grateful little friend OF ours
remained where II was, and, as Its eyes
closed In sleep, It dreamed that II was
in the city visiting Mary, and that she
was so glad to see 1t that she made a
dinner party for its especial benefit.
The next morning the farmer re-
marked:
"Here Ia that fat little turkey Mary
used 10 fik< 30 we'll. She will enjoy
eating It."
Yes. indeed" replied the good wife.
So our lille friend was stripped Of
It's feathers. filled with sage, and pack
ed into a square box with some red
apples, a jug Of real cider, and some
mince pies.
Thus It's dream was fulfilled, and
Mary's dinner party for it's especial
benefit comes of next afternoon.

A New Anesthetic.

Paris Revue Scientifique: Two Ger
man Investigators, NM. Einhorn and
Heintz, have lately discovered new
anesthetic which they call orthoform.
1t belongs to the group of aromatic
amidethers, and is light crystalline
, white powder, tasteless, odorless and
of weak solubility. With acids it
forms soluble salts which are also an
esthetic, but too irritating to be en-
ployed, locally on mucous membrance.
Applied In powder or ointment to a
wound or raw surface, orthoform
renders them insensible-a fact con-
firmcd by repeated clinical observa-
ton. In extensive burns, especially,
orthoform allays the seyerest pains in
few minutes, and the relief endures
for hours. Being non-poisonous,
| there is no danger in reapplying it as
often as may be required after the
first effect he's ceased. Thus, in case
of liberated cancer Of the face, where
constant and eXcruciating p1in rem
dered sleep impossible, ortho ,orm 10
the amount altogether of fifty grams,
was busted over the sore for whole
| week Pain ceased and no i'll effects
J followed. The remedy is equally safe
and effectual when administered in
ternally as an anodyne in cancer of
the stomach. Moreover, it is a power
full anticeptic, and consequently pro-
notes healing. Orthoform has no eff
| feet on the unbroken skin, but owing
to it's decided action upon mucous
membranes, may prove valuable as Il
local anesthetic previous to operations
on that region-a question which is
now being experimentally determined

unnoticed he put the box on the sea,
beside the girl, and when the trair
moved out of the station he bade all 6
hasty farewell and swung himself ou'
into the darkness.
He hardly struck the platform wher
he heard his name shouted. He looked
at the retreating train. On the real
platform was the fiance, who drew
back his arm and something white
came whirling through the air.
There's the package you forgot!'
shouted the fiance.
On it came and the man recognized
it even in the darkness. 1t was a five
pound box of candy that he had unos
tentatiously left on the seat beside
the girl, certain that she would find i
and understand.
When the box landed at his feet tn,
man picked 1t up and hurled it impo
tently back. The fiance had retreateC
into the car, probably glowing withir
from good deed well done. The bo,
missed the train, of course, and it.
sweet contents were scattered in thu

man.

WATTERSON DEFENDS DEWEY.
Declares Admirats Gift to His
Bride Was Fitting,

Louisville, Nov. 27.--Ilenry Waiter
son in the Louisville Courer-Journal
defends Admiral Dewey. He says:
"The admiral was free to do what
ever he pleased to do with his own
property; and what more meet than
that he should make of ii bridal
present to his newly welded wlfeF
That she may be rich and does not
need il is wholly behind the question.
II is not an affair with which the
world at large has aught TO do, or IS
a competent judge or witness.
"If there be one single contributor
TO the original fund mean enough to
wish his money back let him stand
forth in order that he may be marked
of men as a poor unworthy creature
and scored according TO his due.
LET the admiral and Mrs. Dewey be
of good heart still; she that with all
her beauty and genius and independ-
ence of character has from girlhood
stood proof against the envy OF the
lesser born and bred until, alas. she
married him: he that, though first Of
ficer of the navy, the first captain or
the republic, owes still to her the
courage to fight calumny; let these
children of the state be reassured.
"The wrong sought to be done will
elevate them both in the affections
of the people; but what is better it
will endear them to one another ana
themselves"

DUE TO RELIGIOUS BIG0TRY.
Real Motive OF the Recent Attacks
on Dewey.

Real Motive Of the Recent Attacks
on Dewey.
Washington, Nov. 27.-Now that the
Dewey incident is closed there Is nat
uraIly much speculation ms 10 the
originating phases of the sudden
storm Of wrath which came up ,appar-
entity from a clear sky, and began to
fall on the admirnl's head within an
hour after the first report of the trans
fer was known. 1t came principally
from Washington, and reached its
worst degree of yituperation and vi
rulence here.
Some people have tried to find q po-
litical motive for il and have asserted
that the attack was concerted by poll
ticans who, not satisfied with Dewey
refusal of the presidency, were anN-
ious to make his nomination hn I'M
possibility. But no one can have lis
tened in the most casual way TO the
street talk OF Washington without
knowing that the sentiment here was
too Widespread to be the result OF po-
litical dictatioh.
The fact is that in the tide OF abuse
that set so strongly toward Dewey III
the beginning Of the week there was
an undercurrent, Of which everyone
was aware, but the existence OF which
was so discreditablc TO American in
tellgencc that nobody likes TO make
il public. The edge of the wrath
against Dewey was sharpened ana
poisoned by an incredible story which
sprang up from nowhere and spread
like wildfirc, and was eagerly accepted
and implicitly believed. II bore no
marks of authorship; IL was accom-
panied by no proofs, yet presumab y
intelligent America drank ii in eagerly
and loaded the admiral's mamie with
ppithets. No one could run il down or
trace IL TO anybody and yet il was inn
possible TO talk 10 half dozen per
sons without having TO combat it. Its
annonymity kept il out of the News
papers, but now that has been graVely
repeated as a fact in a southern news
paper facts about it should be known.
1t was religious bigotry which pols-
oned the shafts against the admiral.
The story which spread everywhere IN
Washington Monday and is still alive,
was that the house which the Amer
lean people had given to Dewey was
to become the property OF the Roman
Catholic church. Why or how no one
yentured TO say, This story, repeated,
with the utmost circumstanlialig, ac-
counts for the admiral's haste in mar
rving and for all the subsequent
events by ascribng them TO the
greed of the church" and its desire to
obtain the Dewey house for parson-
age and to get hold Of the property
as soon as possible. The influence OF
this religious bigotry was felt as soon
as the admral's engagement became
known and especially after the ltt'r-
lage. There was Il distinct cooling
OFF In the enthusiasm for Dewey. ieo-
bie who had been shouting for him
became lukewarm and suspicious.
1t only needed the transfer OF the
house to give edge and point to this
latent animosity. The general out
burst of wrath from the rest OF the
country has silenced this city, so far
as public expression is concerned, but
in street, shop and private house.
