The success and popularity Of the
new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, is largely because it not only
cures catarrh, but because catarrh suf-

MR.. DAVIS ELOQUENCE.
Some Extracts From the Utterances of
the Late senator.

Washington Corrrcsr ondeDce ST. Paul Dispatch.
A close student of Cushman X. Davis
said to me the other day: Davis speeches
should be collected and published The
volume should include his lecture on Ham
let his oration on James A. Garfield, his
opening address at the dedication Of the
Minneapolis exposition building his impas-
stoned utterances at the dedication of the
monument to the gallant 1st Minnesota on
the battlefield of Gettysburg
1t so chanced that the writer had extracts
from each one Of the addresses mentioned
doubt If some of the passages are equaled
in the English language.
Let me recall but a few jewels from the
casket of that mighty intellect:
From the lecture on Hamlet"
"WOnderful art of the magician to SWAY
with scepter this shadow Of Imagination
and make its phantom mind a problem for
ever.
For this Hamlet whom We know so well
although we understand him so little, never
was. The past held him not nor shall we
meet him In the courts of heaven. He
faded away with that master mind tina t
created him. beneath the chancel of STRAIT
ford Church"
From the Garfield oration:
THE genius of free government mourns
today over her slaughtered son. In vain do
we look to history for d parallel. Kings
have besH stricken down. empires have
crumbled. but those who have brought
about their end have said, We struck at
evils when we struck at men, And she
says as she gathers the ashes of Garfield
and Of Lincoln and lays them reverently in
the everlasting urn of history oh, nv
children, why did thou destroy the hand
tnat raised thee!"
At gettysburg monument dedication:
Here where the golden harvests of plentv
and the happiness of peace broods over this

struction, and the energies of two mighty
armies contested for hours until the soil
now fair and fertile with natures abunda nj

thought conceive Of q more striking con-

The Question of the Canteen.
Private, in Harper's Weekly


People must understand that soldiers are
enlisted for regular or volunteer service
from the population of the United States
tie personnel of the army is the same as
the residents at large of any city, town or
coErty-for that is where they come 'front.'
They are of many nationaities ana from
AL walks in life-from the highest to the
.oVest. The canteen has no corrupting in
fiji cree On the other hand, it has the op-
pCsite effect. 1t teaches the men that .f
they must use liquor to learn to do so in
moderation.
In camp of thirty-five or forty thousand
volunteers. what can you expect? One
quarter drinking are q good many men to
be seen by one unaccuStomed to such gather
ingS. A volunteer camp is not the place to
judge a canteen, or anything else. Who are
these volunteers? They are your fathers
brothers. uncles and cousins. Were they
members of a temperance organza ton when
they enlisted? Were they teetotaers? Did
putting on the uniform of a soldier turn
them into druHkardS? Did the post can
teen debauch all these noble men in one
day? No. You only see enacted in such a
camp, in an enlarged FORM what you may
see in your own town in miniature any day
you wish to look for it. Why are saloons
in your towns? Because people want them.
Why don't you close them up? You can't.
The only things l feel sorry for, In this
world. are the chronic kickerS kicking
against something they know nothing about
wasting energy that might be used to a
better purpose. Men who have spent their
lives in the army, and are well versed in all
greatest praise for the post canteen. for the
simple reason that it is necessary evil
In the army, Just as your saloons are nee
essary evils in your cities and villages.

His Hardest job Yet

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
When chimneys were broad and generous.
and fireplaces wide and yawning. 1t was an
easy task for Santa Claus to make his an
nual visit to good little boys and girls
With the march of progress, however. his
visit Is made harder and harder every
year. Base burner stoves and furnaces
make him twist and turn to get to the
harging stockings. 1t remains however,
for trustful little Cleveland girl to mt
him to his hardest work.
Little Ruth lives In a fiat which has all
the modern improvements. including steam
heating, of course. She is only FIVE years
old, and has all the childish faith in Santa
Claus. She was telling, the other day, what
she wanted Santa Claus to bring her for
Christmas
How do you expect him to come to visit
you?' asked her Uncle John. ''You have
no chimney for him to come down."

If any strawberry frosting Is left, as
there probably will be, add sugar till stiff
enough to roll into balls: put in a little

little more fiavoring and make balls not
more than half an inch in diameter. When
they have set, frost with white frosting,
made as before, but without the flavor or
ccloring. Half the quantity will be suf1-

white frosting for something else. A lemon

the strawberry. and for this use lemon
