TammAny Hall.

"Tammany Ring" was formed in the
city of New York SO far back as 1888
as a great Democratic organization.
Its founder was William Mooney, an
upholsterer residing in the city. The
Tammany anniversary became popu-
lar holiday. The ideal patrons were
Columbus and Tammany. the latter
who gives his name to the society, be-
ing legendary Indian chief, once lord
of the island of Manhattan, and now
a kind of patron saint of America
The president rejoices in the title Of
grand sacham." The "Tammany
Hall" is an Offset more intensely DEM
ocratic, and represents the Democrat
ic Republican general committee of
5000, who seek to govern New York
and select all candidates for office.
There are district committees, over
whom is set a captain known as the
local boss" he is responsible for the
vote of his district. There are 1,100
of these bosses to correspond with the
LOO districts. AS rule the bosses
are "liquor dealers" with clientele of
followers whom they Swing" The
boss is paid for his services, and has
money to distribute. 1t is always easy
from the reports of these 1,1OO bosses
to say how the vote of the city will
go in municipal elections.

TO KEEP LOVE SECURE IN HOME
Mnn and wife Must Live Simply, Honestly
and Frankly on High Plane.

I'm the first months of married life love
Is so sufficient. and loving so simple. that
there seems no otE Y need In life,' writes
Helen Watterson -ioody in the March
Ladies' Home Journal. But by-and-by.
when care begins to shadow them. when
duties present themselves. and, strangely
enough. conflict with each other. when
convictions clash and tastes differ, then
both husband and wife begin to realize
that back of love must stand what have
called stead" and sturdy moral qualities
Justice patience, honesty, sincerity and
magnanimity. Indeed. on these depends
the very continuance of love in marriage.
for it is not possible to go on loving unless
say this advisedly. l know the world Is
fun of men and women who think, either
because they like to think so, or sadly, be
cause they must, that one can love where
one does not respect. 1t seems to me that
this does not ennoble ones ideal of love-
one may pity. may have an infinite Nearn-
ing tenderness over what one cannot re-
spcct, but love is of royal birth and recoB-
nizcs only what Is as royal as itself. The
way, then, to keep love secure in married
life is not SO much to be anXiously watch
ing and guarding lest 1t should escape, or
CRYING that love has spread Its wings be-
cause the first holiday romance is replaced
by graver feeling. but by living along
simply and honestly and frankly together.
on II high plane looking most and always
soever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just. whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, what
soevcr things are of good report. Ther
love will be not a captive. but most Will

STORIES OF RATS.
VIII Bite on Log to Escape from
Trap.

George Purcell tells the Pittsburg
News some stories about mining coal
that are interesting. Purcell says a
rat, when caught in a trap, will cut on
a limb to escape. He one day caught
rat with blacksmith's pincers. He
had only time to fix the pincers on the
rats tail, but with sufficient grip to
hold the rat for time. He intended
taking the rat to a feed-box in the
barn. where its fighting qualities could
be tested by TERROR. The rat. hang
ing by its tail. turned around to free
itself from the pincers. Finding that
the pincers were harder than Its teeth
1t turned its attention to its own tail.
1t cut with it's teeth a ring around the
tail, and then made jump. The skin
peeled of the tail. leaving the tail
covering in the grip Of Purcell and the
pincers. 1t is needless to say that the
rat escaped. Miners believe that rats
leave a falling mine. NJ. w. Kerrigan
met a horde OF rats one day when he
was entering q mine. He attempted to
kill them with stick, but as fast as he
knocked one out another took his
place. He was accompanied by dog,
and the dog was so badly hitten by the
rats that he sought shelter behind Ker-
rigan Seeing that the dog was badly
injured by the attack Of the rats Ker-
rigan took him outside the mine to
have his injuries attended to. Kerri-
gan then returned to the workings, but
was surprised to find that the entry in
which ha had met the rats had fallen
in during his absence.

Daring Repair Work.

Daring repairs inside water main
were recently made at the water works
in Kansas City, Mo. The threads of
the valve seat in 3O-inch main had
become broken, and in order to make
the repairs without removing the valve
it was necessary for someone to go
into the pipe. To leave the main closed
for the day meant to leave part of the
city without protection from fire.
machinist, Charles Lunstedt, volun-
teered to do the work. He entered the
main through a 24-inch pipe and put
in new seat in about three hours.
1t was cold job, as the temperature
of the water had been running about
36 to 3S degrees, but hot irons were
placed inside the pipe to remove the
chill as much as possible. Air was
let into the pipe through pit around
the valve.-Baltimore News.

OPPORTUNITIES IN CHINA.
Vast Field for American Trade That Ii
still Almost Untouched.

At the present time American COM
merce in China should be more than
that of the shopkeeping kind. Ihere
are new opportunities for vast specuia-
tions and strong syndicates. This Is
the period of concessions, OF organlz
ing for opening up the resources Vi
that large empire. This Is more than
selling behind the counter. Anu
here Americans are iapie
lose a magnificent opportuhi-
ty. Along with the increas-
ed political influence of European
countries have come increased com
mercial privileges. Our political in-
terests and our commercial men haVe
disliked the Chinese so much that they
have failed to seize-even to see-the
new openings in China at the most
opportune hour. Russia has secureu
both railroad and mining concessions
in Manchuria. Germany has secured
the same in Shantung. England has
secured mining concessions in Shans'
and other privileges in central China.
Both France and England have secured
privileges in southern China. Amer
ica-where is she? Two great railroad
lines-one between Picking and Han
kow; the other between Tientsin and
Chinkiang-could' have been built by
Americans; but notwithstanding this
special opportunity European nations
have pressed forward to secure these
privileges for their own people.
Though these great concessions may
go to others. there may still be an op-
portunity for American materials to
be used in connection Herewith. This
will depend on the amount of support
which the United States government
and American merchants give to the
"open door" policy. which thus far has
been advocated by the British govern
ment alone. Already many of the
most energetic supporters of British
interests abroad have turned from the
"open door" policy to the policy OF
special spheres of influence"

rendered the soil too dry for germina-

ally cold winter on fruit, especially
cherry and apple trees, becomes more
apparent as the season advances and
the damage will prove more serious

the apple crop is fair. In the eastern

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Iu-

Real organic disease Is incursble; but
not one case In "a hundred OF heart

The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves. the sympathetic and
PneumOgastric.
In another way, also the heart Is ef-
fected by the form OF poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation IT IN

oppression and heayiness In the cnest
caused by pressure OF the disteDded
stomachion the heart and lungs, inter
fering with their action, hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also pOisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery, which irri.
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble il to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilatio OF food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, ike
5tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable harmless digestive
elements Ia a pleasant convenient form.
