Elaine Explains.

The unanimous and rising vote of conf
dence bestowed 10y the Maine legislature
upon the President and his foreign policy
is an inspiring exhibition of patriotism
and intelligence. Nor does it come as a
surprise to anybody acquainted with the
people of that commonwealth. They are
a sturdy, sagacious, far seeing lot of
Yankees. They have always loved the
country, and always given it proof of
their devotion. The men commissioned
for civil office and the soldiers sent to war
have made the name of Maine famous and
respected in every State of the Union.
Nor does this action, coming as it does
on the heels of Mr.. Hale's reelection to
the Senate, convict the legislature Of a
contradiction. Mr.. Hale was returned
not because of but in spite of his surpris
ing course in the matter of the war with
Spain and the treaty of peace. The legis-
lature took into account his long service
here, his familiarity with public business.
and his excellent committee assignments,
and decided still further to utilize his ex-
perience in an office for which he I'M
| doubtedly possesses many qualifications.
The people OF Maine, as has often been
noticed, have profited by keeping men of
| experience in commission. Her delega-
ton in Congress, for a long series of
years, has upon the whole, been one of
the most useful and distinguished in that
body, with the result that, in this Con
gress. she has not only supplied the Sen
ate with a president pro tempore and the
naval committee and the commerce COM
mittee each with a chairman, but the
House with a speaker, the majorty on
the floor with IA leader, and the naval
| committee with a chairman. This is a
very unusual record for State to make.
The people of Maine simply explain
now their reasons for iadorsing Mr. Hale.
They are DESTROYS of being properly I'M
derstood on that point. They do not in
tend to become associated in the public
mind with any other than vigorous,
straightforward, American policy. They
| approved of the war with Spain, thew re-
| joced in their country's success, and
they are for manly assumption of the
responsibilities which the results of the
war have imposed. Maine wants it un-
derstood that she is neither sulk nor a
| shirk
The State has never in all her history
taken higher or finer stand. 1t was
just the thing for such a State to do. 1t
will help brace the treaty. 1t will carry
a word of cheer to the President. Will
it also serve as instruction to Mr.. Hale?
Probably not. He is so far committed to
the other side, so eighty held in the tolls
of record which began by surprising
and continued by outraging the country,
that he will probably keep on in his
course to the end. But it is clear now
that in this matter of opposing the treaty
heis not to be considered as senator from
Maine Maine is for the treaty, and fol
every honorable duty that is imposed by
it, Washington, D. c., Evening Star.

The Secret of NapoIeon's Success.

Napoleon once SAID: The time to conquer
is noN-uever watt and he always con-
quer Il because he always struck at once for
victory. The person who is sick or out Of
health should seek at once the right physi-
clan and treatment for Immediate cure. The
night physician to consult is an eminent
specialist of world wide fame and largest
experience III curing nervous, chronic or I'M
gerng complaints, like DR.. Greene. of n
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, who in his
vast experience cures thousands of cases
just like yours. And the right treatment To
take is that which cures and at the same
time is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less, like DIR. Greene'S wonderful treatment
by harmless vegetable remedies. One Of his
great discoveries, known az Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is known
and used all over the world, but he has dis
covered equally valuable cures for all phases
of disease. Notwithstanding the fact that
DR.. Greene has the largest practice and
greater success in curing disease than any
other physician, he can be consulted by the
people absolutely without charge, whether
you call or write If you want to be cured,
if you want to know what your trouble is,
do not wait, but write about your at
once to this most successful of physicians
and get his advice and counsel free. Fol-
low the maxim of Napoleon and conquer
your disease now-do not wait until it may
be too late.

CRAzED BY GHosTs.-Haunted by
the ghosts of SS murderers and unable
to sleep on account of his uncanny
tormentors, George Maledon, the king
of hangmen, is ending his days in pow
erty and misery on little farm two
miles south of this place, says Spring
dale, Ark, dispatch.
Maledon was for many years execu-
toner at the Fort Smith Federal pris-
on, where many of the most desperate
criminals that for years infested the
Indian Territory were brought to trial
before Judge Parker. In that capaci-
ty Maledon oficiated at the hanging
of 88 men and won for himself the So
briquet of the "King of Hangmen." "
He has hung more men than any 9TH
er officer in the history of the United
States, and, through his long expert
ence, became an expert in his line.
When the Indian Territory was CIV
en- courts of it's own, Maledon started

OUGHT NOT To HAVE KNOWN so
MUCH.-Before marriage she was a
school teacher, and it took a great
deal of masculine tact to wean her
from the idea of making scientific
career without the interference of q
husband. But now she presides ever a
happy little home in Detroit, and is
gradually becoming domesticated.
Among the recent possessions of the
family is cow, led to and from the
pasture by hired boy, and MIXED by
the servant girl. She was skimming
off some rich yellow cream the other
day when her mistress appeared upon
the scene.
"Jane," she said, "do you know
there are in the milk millions of minute
organisms of bacilli that look horrld
under"
"There's not one, num-" hotly retort-
ed Jane, as she banged the table with
the skinner by way of emphasis,
"There's not one, and I won't stend it
either. I scours the bucket, washes
the COW, 1 scalds the pans and l covers
the milk in the Refrigerator. Yer the
first woman as ever told me / was not
clean about my work. I've allus been
flattered at because of my neatness'
You'll not find one of them things in
that milk, and I must say you have
face to be talkin' of millions"
"But listen, Jane"
"I'll listen no more, that l won't.
I've heard too much now. And you
don't need to give no notice, neither.
I'll leave within the hour, mum, for
there's plenty of places, and them as
don't be slanderin' an honest workin'

The husband came home to find his
wife in tears and audibly wishing that
she wasn't "smart."

cumulated some property. This he
later disposed of and travelled over
the country exhibiting himself as the
"King of Hangmen." The venture was
not a financial success and his money
was soon all gone. He then settled
on little farm near Spingdale and
has at last fallen victim to supersti-
tion or insanity. Every night is made
miserable to him by the imaginary Wis
its of the ghosts of men he has hanged.
To keep the ghosts away, bright lights
are kept burning at his house at night
and friends guard his bedside.

FINED FOR WINNING HIS CASE.

"When graduated from the law

reminiscent smile, II took Horace
Greeley's advice and went west. l
located in a little town that then was
on the frontier and waited with the
confidence of youth for clients. Before
I had fairly opened my office was re-
tanned to defend a man for, stealing a
horse. This elated me very much, for
was not aware at the time that the
case had been refused by all the other
LAWYERS in town, as defending horse
thief was not thing to be desired II a
man valued his life. The case came
for trial before an old judge and jury
composed of bewhiskered ranchers.
There was no doubt that the man was
guilty., but he had number of friends
who were willing to swear anything,
and 1 thought it my duty to make the
best possible use of them. They were
all willing to swear that the defendant
was 40 miles away from the spot when
the horse was stolen, and the prosecu-
ton was unable to break down their
testimony. saw that l was going to
free my client, so it was with satis-
fed air that I saw the jury leaving the
room to prepare the verdict. They
were back in FIVE minutes, and the OLD
Judge asked them if they had succeed
ed in arriving at verdict.
"sWe hev,' answered the foreman,
as he shifted the gun he carried on his
hip. ave find the defendant not
guilty, an recommend the defendants

cence, to the mercy of the court"
"While was gasping for breath the

out of town. 1t wasn't law, but L
