A politician says: "When man
leaves our side and goes to the other
side, he is traitor and we always felt
there was a subtle something wrong
about him, but when man leaves the
other side and comes over to us, then
he is a man of great moral courage
and we always felt that he had sterl-
ing stuff in him.

Hagerstown, Nd, Nov. q, 1898.
Mr. RObt. Il. Wills,

Dear Sir-For number OF years was af-
flicted with Indigestion, Kidney and Liver

omen sore upon my neck, which had not been
healed for more than five Yeas, and from
which fragments OF bone had been extracted.
During the period of my affection was sub
ject to frequent attacks. which would con-
tinue for weeks at n time, in which would
suffer untold pain and misery. In March,
1873. / entered the Johns Hopkins Hospital,
of Baltimore, Md. and took course of about
six weeks treatment, but even under the
skill and ability o. the able physicians OF
that institution, | was unable To he cured or
even more thau temporarily benefited, hav-
ing 10 continue under the treatment OF emf
ueut physicians in other localities, as well as
battling the skill OF fiVe OF the leading phySi-
clans OF this city. as all OF my friends and ac-
Quaiutances having known the condition of
my health may he able to testify. In April,
ISIS, 10 seeming almost as a last resort, de-
cidcd to try your Vegetable Compound, and
| am now happy to say II has cured me en-
tirely OF every affection, my health being in
"a better condition at this time than IL has
been since 1 was child and weigh more at
this time than ever before in all my life. |
do most sincerely recommend the Vegetable
Compound TO every one who may be afflicted
with the diseases that have mentioned, be-
lieVing If taken according To directions, II
will cure them as IL has cured me.

tant, and the gongs ratified without
ceasing until after the rushing express
had passed. There is no dninution of
this speed to-day. 1t Is rather increas-
ed, for the trains can run at sixty miles
an hour without running the slightest
risk of killing a citizen at any grade
crossing.
With the Worlds Fair coming on,
one road saw the advantage of elevated
tracks to hurry visitors down to the
grounds. BY the time the ceremonies
of dedication in October. 1892. were all
arranged for the Illinois Central had
elevated its tracks as far south as gid
street. Like all others, this road fought
the whole thing bitterly, but, seeing no
escape, the road accepted the ordin-
ances passed to provide for the work
on its lines. These ordinances are real
ly plans carefully prepared to obviate
engineering difficulties and enable the
line to elevate or depress the tracks at
the smallest estimated cost. The city
pays nothing, but has enforced it's de-
mands until few roads wish to make
the fight any longer.
This beginning inspired the people
and authorities with reason to feel that
the grade crossing would have to go.
1t also taught the railroad companies
that all they could do would be to fight
for time; they must all get in the band
wagon in the end. So when the Worlds
Fair Mayor was elected ii was believed
that considerable progress would be
made. One thing had initiated against
progress. and that was that the city
was trying to do too much at once.
The city had been trying to battle the
combined roads as a combination. Or
dinances were being prepared which
were blankets covering the entire sys-
TEN i'm the city. These necessarily fail
ed from too great complication.
In 1893 a change in plan was inaug-

SMALLEST REPUBLIC,
Two and a Half Square Miles, with
Population of Sixty.

Two and a Half Square Miles, with a
Population of Sixty.
The smallest republic In the world
is that of Tavolara, an island about five
miles long, with an average width of a
about a dozen miles to the northeast
Of Sardinia. The total population of
the whole republic does not exceed 10,
but they elect a President every six
years, and Council of six members,
all of whom serve the state without
pay. The women of this island go to
the polls and vote with the men, and
ever since it became n republic, in 1886,
all public business has been transacted
without turmoil; the elections taking
place without any high party feeling or
undue excitement.
In 1896 King Charles Albert of Sar-
DINA granted the Island of Tavolara to
a family of the name of Bartoleoni, but
in less than half century the inhab-
itants threw off the yoke of monarchy
and took to themselves the right to be
governed by themselves. This little war
did not alarm the world, and was quite
a peaceful one. King Paul l. reigned
until 1882, and on his deathbed request
ed that none of his kin should succeed
to the throne. and as no one claimed
the honor four years later the people
decided to draw up constitution, and
Tavolara has been very successful
little republic since.
Twelve years ago its independence
was recognized by Italy, and, 1t Is to be
presumed, other powers would have
recognized it also if they had known Of
its existence. The inhabitants live
principally by fishing and raising fruits
and vegetables. They fear no sudden
invasion, for they dispense with any
army or navy. and, presumably, In case
of need, would rely upon the entire
population to uphold the freedom Of
the country.

The roads did not deny that il the
thing could be. done it would be valu-
able thing for both sides. but the roads
also declined to consider the PROPOSE
ton in any guise. They had laid their
tracks under charters and ordinances,
had complied with the laws, and no
body or corporation could disturb their
possession. They sometimes carried
this contention 10 such an extent as to
battle among themselves to prevent
some rival line from crossing their
rights of way. Work was done on
Sunday and holidays TO eyade. If posi-
bic, the interference Of. police or sher-
if. But these attempts were always
met by a like determination. result
ing finally in defeat or compromise.
