WOR M SYRUP
very SAFE, EFFECTuAL and

a very SAFE, EFFECTQAL and
AGREEABLE remedy for worms.
Worms are probably the cause OF
more suffering among children than any
other disease except teething. Children
from 11s to 6 years being particularly
liable to them. There are various SYM
ptoms which indicate their existence
and among the most prominent are pale
ness of the face, frequent attacks of
feverishness, pain in stomach and bowels,
swelling and hardness Of the abdomen,
disturbed sleep frequently starting up,
itching and picking the nose, dry, hack
ing cough, wasting of the flesh and
sometimes commissions. Children of all
ages may take this worm syrup with
entire safety and even if no worms be
present in the system it will be found
useful in toning stomach and bowels
and improving digestion. Price % cents

A TRUANT LAW.
Reports from Officers All In-Result
of the Work.

The reports from all the truancy officers
in the State TO the Board of State Truancy
Ishow that the new law is very beneficial
Md has brought more than 1900 more chill
dren into the schools during the past year
than it did the year previous. While the
first year of the new law there was but
small attention paid TO truant children it
was attributed TO a misunderstanding of
the law. The state board has been very
earnest in trying to get this work under
way so that it would be felt perceptibly
over the State, and the courts have CO.
operated with the officers. In this way the
work has proved some good results. The
greatest number of prosecutions have been
In Madison and Marion counties, there be-
ing forty-five in the former, seventeen of
which were successful, and twenty-five in
the latter, twenty of which were success
full.
During last year there was a decrease
in the number of officers employed. When
the law went into effect the board had 1874,
which has since been reduced to 106. The
efficient work of these officers has greatly
minimized the cost of the work.
The report is made up in great detail and
gives the total cost of each county, with
the work done by the officers in that coun-
ty. The total cost of administering the
law last year the report shows was S4S.-

THE APOLOGISTS FOR BRYAN.
Qualities That Anti-Imperialists Dc
Not Present for Admiration.

New York Times Dem.)
We are continually invited to admire the
virtues of William ]. Bryan. He has, they
tell us, a most engaging personality. His
wonderful tenacity of mind and purpose
in keeping up the fight for free-silver
coinage against the advice and entreaty Of
some of the greatest men in his party
proves him TO be a man of strength. cour-
age and consistency. He is ~incorruptibly
honest. He is manifestly sincere in the
belief that his doctrines. if put in prac-
tice, will deliver the people from oppress-
i've conditions. He exhibits all the zeal.
devotion and daring of an apostolic teacher.
These qualities, we are told, show that
he is not at all a bad man. Take away
his free-silver views and he would be one
of the most respected and admired of all
the Americans of his time.
1t is chiefly from Anti-imperialists, who
are trying to persuade themselves that it
is politically safe and morally permissible
TO vote for a man whose cardinal principle
they abhor. that these praises come.
1t is right that the opponents of Mr..
Bryan should be candid about him, and
just TO him. But in Analysing his good
qualities and his bad, it is necessary that
there hould be some sense of relative
NdiueS, some observance OF proportion.
We may suppose that an Anti-imperialist

An Unusual Action for Damages Filed

An unusual damage suit was filed in the
Superior Court yesterday. The suit is
brought by Lee Archer, and is against the
Atlas engine works. He demands 5000.
Archer asserts that he was employed in
the holding room of the ~company's plant to
assist in operating a large metal ladle that

of the room by means of an overhead troll
ley system. He alleges that April IA, 1900.

with a ladle containing about 1000 pounds
of the molten metal one handle of the ladle
struck a door that had swung open. causing
some of the contents to spill.

the ground caused an explosion and pieces
of hot metal were thrown in all di-
r~ections. One of these pieces of
metal struck him In the eye, he

Another example of the peculiar changes
that are brought about by the whirligie
of time has been recently offered on the
Lackawanna, and again emphasizes the
fact that consideration and respect for
subordinates is wise. When General SUI
perintendent Russell. of the Lackawanna,
was young in railroad business he was the
chief clerk OF 7. Z. Clarke, formerly gen
eral manager of the Iowa Central. Recent
tired from the Central. and a few laws ago
Mr.. Russell announced that he had APP
pointed him superintendent of the Scran-
ton division in place of A. G. Salisbury.
The positions of the two men are reversed,
but the cordial relations established when
Mr.. Russell was a clerk remain unchanged.
