The crowd began to gather as soon as the
man fell down. One of the thoughtful ones
ran to drug store aand rang up an ambu.
lance, and in a few moments great clang-
ing and Gathering was heard down the
street. Then the ambulance drew alongside
the curb, the natty young physician dis
mounted from the rear step, and the crowd
standing around the man who had fallen
formed lane for him to pass through. 1t
required only a glance for the natty young
physician to see what allied the man, says
the Washington Post

few weeks after Van Buren, entered
power, was one of the causes of his
defeat in 1s40. That of 1873, in the
republican period, helped to reduce
the republican majority in the cleo
toral college in 1876 to one. The mon
etary CONFUSION of 1898, which start
ed about a month after Cleveland
went TO the white house a second
time, helped to roll up the majority
which was cast against his party in
1896. The Homestead strike in the
summer of 1892, in which many per-
sons were killed and much property
destroyed. in the last year of Harri.
sons service was one of the reasons
for the republican APATHY" which
was noticed in that campaign, and for
the republican defeat which came at
the polls. A panic is decidedly i'm.
probable this year, but labor troubles
and crop failures are always among
the possibilities, and any sort of q
calamity invariably hits the party in
power.
All of these reasons, coupled with
the conviction which is doubtless hon
estly entertained that their policy
will, upon presentation, appeal with
force to the majority of the people,
together with the fact that it is the
American practice for each side to
make an active fight in every election,
whatever the chances may seem to be,
explain the hope of Mr.. Bryan and
his supporters that they will carry
the country in 190O.-Charles NJ. Har-
vey, in Leslie's Weekly.

When preparation has an advertised rep
utation that is worldwide, it means that
preparation is meritorious. If you 60 into
store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of the world. The judgment
of the people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to sell you
something else in place of the article you
ask for, has an ak to grind. Don't it stand to
reason? He's trying to sell something that
IS not what he represents it to be- Why?
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
our OF your credulity. Don't you see
through his little game? The man who will
try to sell you substitute for Cascarets
is fraud: Beware of him. He is trying to
steal the honestly earned benefits of a repu-
tation which another business man has paid
for, and if his conscience will allow him to
go so far, he viii go farther If he cheats
his, customer in one way, he will in another
and 1t is not safe to do business with him.
Beware of the Cascaret substitutorl
