Health Hints.

Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately go out in the cold.
Never omit regular bathing, for nm.
less the skin is in an active condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion or other disease.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage.
When hoarse, speak as little as posi-
BILE until the hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voice may be permanent
ly injured or troubles of the throat bt
produced.
Never continue keeping the back ex
posed to the heat after it has becom,
comfortably warm.
When going from a warm atmospher
into a cooler one, keep the mouth al
ways closed, so that the may be warm
ed by its passage through the nose err
it reaches the lungs.

Representative Epes, of Virginia,
heartily endorses the suggestion, made
in a Washington paper, that Senator
Martin be made chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, if Senator
Jones health should prevent his re-
tanning the position, Said Mr.. Epes;
without disparagement to any man
I want to say that Senator Martin has
pre-eminent qualifications for fireplace.
He is one of the wisest managers in the
whole field of American politics today,
and if he can be prevailed upon to act
as national chairman, the party vii
have the benefit of an experienced an(
sagacious counselor who can be de
pended upon to make no mistakes il
the momentous campaign before u.s."

Mr.. Bryan's Popularity.

What more striking acknowledge
ment Of the power with which Mr..
Bryan draws people to him than this
from the Chicago Times-Herald, the
republican administration organ of the
northwest:
The same day that ex Governor Hogg
was carrying Tammany by storm with
his reference to Bryan, Mr. Bryan
himself was received with tremendous
enthusiasm both at Atlanta and Barnes
vile, Georgia. Everywhere it is the
same story. The man seems to have
suffered not at all in the esteem of the
masses of his followers because of his
defeat in 1896. True, he has found in
in several states that the democratic
party leaders considers the silver issue
n disastrous one, and in those states
the popular vote would certainly be
hostile to his silver policy, but wher-
ever he goes he meets with manifesto
tions of an almost fanatlcal personal
loyalty. Very few American polite
ians have been the objects of such gen.
eral or intense devotion.
What, then, will explain this extra
ordinary phenomenon? 1t may be re-
ferred to a combination of causes, each
potent in its way. Mr.. Bryan has
character, sincerity, winning person
atty, intellectual brilliancy, eloquence,
and the elements are so mixed in him
as to produce the best possible effect.
He is, besides, the leading exponent OF
a principle which gives him remarka-
BILE influence where the principle is
held, while his character, gifts and at
tainments secure him the liking of peo-
pie who regret the principle.
At one time there was very natural
disposition to ascribe his prestige to {
single speech, but the speech was mere
ly his opportunity. Since delivering
it he has proved his powers as an ora,
tor many times, and he has stood the
closer scrutiny of the public, which il
attracted but not dominated by orato
ry. We have known men even more
brilliant on the platform who never go
beyond the part of performers in ,
campaign show. With all their ability
they could not command respect be
cause they did not possess moral quail
ties which the American people desir,
in their political leaders of the presi
Dental class.
Mr.. Bryan is clean of speech and act
He has nothing to explain. He is hon
est in his convictions. What he lack
most is lively humor, and this some
times does a politician more harm thar
good, as S. S. Cox used to confess rue
: fully. Much as Americans enjoy
, joke, they prefer serious men in higl
places.
When, therefore, all things are take
into account, it is clear why Mr.. Bry
an is popular, and no one should nov
feel disposed to grudge him the posi-
I ton he has won. Whether he ma
succeed in commanding his politics
ideas to the voters of the country
another question.

The Alger- Pingree middle has been
thickened by Alger's positive denial
that he had made q deal with Pingree
and saying that Pingree had merely
offered to support his candidacy for the
senate because of his dislike for Nc
MILAN. Later Alger denied that. This
sort of thing is regarded by some as in
dicating the truth of the story told in
Washington few days ago, alleging
that Mr.. Mckinley intended to support
Alger and oppose Senator Mcmillan,
but others regard il as nothing more
than frantic efforts of Alger to retain
his hold upon the war portfolio. The
best informed men in political circles
regard q break in Mr.. Mckinley
cabinet as inevitable. It may be Alger,
however, who will go out. 1t is well
known that the relations between Sec
retaries Gage and Alger, meyer very
cordial, have almost reached the fight
ing stage, and not believed that all Of
Mr.. McKinley's admitted knack Of
notification can succeed in keeping
two men so antsgonistic to each other,
in his official family. Secretary Gage
would have resigned last winter if the
powerful financial interests he repre-
sents had not insisted on DISCRIMINATING
in the cabinet. He has never entirely
forgiven Mr.. Mckinley for not recon-

The Gun Club.

The johnson City Gun Club has
been rejuvenated, has taken in fresh
blood and taken on new life.
Fx-Gov. Bob Taylor and his secreta-
/ y, belong Rice have joined and are
now its 1eadenist' members. After the
recent thrilling experience of these
gentlemen on the plains of Texas shoot
ing 'mud-hens" they concluded that it
would be dead easy to smash clay pig
cons, so they quietly ordered a barrel
of "blue rocks" and bran new trap,
which they set up at 'Jay-bird Thick
et' for a private practice. Noises that
were heard every afternoon some weeks
ago, like unto the attack of the Ameri-
cans on San Juan hill, will thus be ac-
counted for. 1t was the genial ex-Gov-
ernor and his secretary at practice.
One would act as referee while the
other would shoot. They stood in close
and when the trap was sprung the bird
would sail away through the trees and
If not broken by shot it was sure to be
smashed on a limb or against a tree,
and either event the referee would
promptly yell "dead' After few
weeks of practice they concluded they
were inyincible and proceeded to invite
the gun club out to witness their tri-
umph. So anxious were they that two
barrels of pigeons we're ordered by
wire to be sent by express, on which
the charges were enough to start a
country bank, but they felt that they
would be more than compensated by
the "glory that should follow" The
clubs traps were brought out and put
in order and q beautiful spot selected
just north of town, and on Saturday
afternoon last the great shoot came off.
Governor I. selected his handsome
"Parker hammerless," while Mr. Rice
chose his splendid Winchester pump
When they approached the scene they
were greeted with round of applause
by admiring friends. The Governor
dropped Dupont smokeless' in his
gun and confidently called "pull." The
! trap responded to the touch of the cleo
trio button, the blue rock sailed away
and the Governor blazed away-but the
only response was the monotonous
"1-o-s-t" of the referee. Everybody
seemed surprised, but, alas, his sue.
ceedlng shots were usually like the
first. Sympathizing friends volunteer
ed all sorts of advice. One said: ''You
shoot too quick" another said "you
don't shoot quick enough, third said
= "shoot lower" fourth "shoot high
err" He implicitly obeyed all of these
suggestions, but with the same result
The birds wouldn't brake. De Long

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is the
Occasion of Much ANXIETY to All.


Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is IN store for her is source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The Joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight q
remedy which insures to them i'm
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is q
scientific liniment--and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with com.
parativc case and comfort. This won.
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price.

thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critica
period of woman's life-the approach

their most trying hour and wheT
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend" Tit

Here's brand new phase of the ex-
pansion question. Bishop Grant, OF
the A. M. E. church (negro) is in
Washington advocating the annexation
of Liberia by the Ueited States. He
told Mckinley that since he had ex-
banded into Asia, we might as we'll also
take slice of Africa, but somehow the
Liberia idea doesn't seem to enthuse
the expansionists. They think it all
right to annex the saddle colored man,
but draw the line on the black man.
