brought to the bedside the moment one
awakes and just before going to sleep,
at meals and between meals, on going
out and coming in. Men, women and
children drink it with the same liberal

effect is apparent in trembling hands,
twitching eyelids, yellow, dry skin, and
chronic excitability worse than that

A man charged yesterday in London
with pocket picking at the Crystal
Palace on Bank Holiday made all in
genious defense. He called his sweet
heart as q witness, and she said the
accused had his right hand around hel
waist all the time he was passing the
turnstile, and could, therefore, not have
been exploring the pockets of stran-
gers. The man was given good char
acter by his employer, and, being al
lowed 'the benefit of the doubt" was
discharged.

The House committee on rivers
and harbor is expected to recon-
mend the expenditure of 1925, 900
to survey a route for the proposed
14.foot canal to connect the Missis-
sippi with Lake Michigan by way
of the Chicago drainage ditch.
This would be as foolish as the
Canadian governments deepening
of the st. Lawrence river canals
to fourteen feet, with only twelve
feet of water available in some
portion of the St. Lawrence river
route to the sea. A l4-foot canal
through Illinois would put lake
navigators onto the sandbars Of
the Mississippi, and thus open up
a dredging scheme that might
keep channel deepeners busy ue
long Jas grass grows and water
runs.

WilmOnt.

o. Saturday forenoon a sad &C.
cident occurred two miles east OF
Wilmont in which NJ. A. Sex
ton, of Howell, Mich, lost his
life. Mr.. Sexton, in company
with the Geisel Brothers have
been operating a threshing ma
chine IN this vicinity this season
and had just finished the
seasons work and were taking
the machine home to house it for
the wiLter. Something became
wrong with ssthe separator as they
were pulling it with the engine
which made it necessary to stop
and take off one of the forward
wheels, the axle being held up by
q jack screw. Mr.. Sexton got un-
der the axle to tighten q burr.
The ground being slightly inclined
and he being almost ready to
come out, the machine suddenly
moved from the supporting jack
screw and the great weight 1000
or 5000 pounds settled on him
just above the belt line, life being
entirely extinct in five minutes,
help was at once summoned and
his body was taken out, brought to
Wilmont and prepared for bur-
ial. Meantime his father at
Michigan was wired and who
gave instructions to have the
body sent home at once. The re-
mains in charge of George Ge:sel
started for Michigan Christmas
night. When the accident occur
ed George Geisel, Oscar Young
and Arthur Grast were with him
but were powerless to. prevent the
sad occurrence.

Portland Oregon1an rises to dis
pute the declaration of the St.
Paul Pioneer Press that Senator
Towne of Minnesota will enjoy the
distinction of having been an
actual senator for a shorter period
than anyone else who has ever
been a member of the upper House
of the Legislature of the United
States. Towne took his seat De-
cember 10, and his term will ex-
pire on January Z, when he will
have been a senator for twenty
eight days. But.fhe Oregonian
recalls the case of Delazon Smith
of Oregon, who took his seat on
the 18th of February, 1859. and
went out on March 3 of that year,
having served only eighteen days.
It is too bad that Towne, as the
most distinguished spokeman of
the short dollar, could not also be
the most distinguished represent
alive of the short term.

Troubles of Fenfan Days.

: I was making a pedestrian tour of
Ireland in the latter days of the Fen
ian movement. and many curious Incl
dents came under my observation,
showing how jealous the royal Irish
constabulary was in arresting strang-
ers and charging them secretly with
Fenianism. At that time the habeas-
corpus act was repealed and any one
arrested could be kept in prison, with
out trial, for period of two years.
When a man was tried he felt that he
was to face a partisan Judge and a
packed jury am not going to make
the charge that juries were always
willfully packed, but know that many
a jury was afraid t, give an accused
the benefit of any doubt, because the
liberty of each member of that Jury
was imperiled.
! remember of readiag of one in
stance where the accused was so we'll
pleased with the personnel of the Jury
that he did not challenge any one, out
when his counsel whispered that it
was strange he replied: "The jury's all
right, but I'd loike to challenge the
Judge"
The witnesses were also afraid to
testify too strongly in favor of the lie
fendant, for if they did they might be
treated as heard witness treated in
Cork. Judge Keogh, who had been a
Nationalist at one time. but was &C.
cused of betraying his fellow Nation.
alists, listened to a witness who told
very straightforward story, and then
advised the chief of police to look into
the character of the witness, as it was
likely he was a Fenian. OF course,
the witness was arrested.

4 He'd Curtains Round fIer.
There was q very good story being
retold, but which Is actually true
story of those days. A Judge was try
ing case where the accused could un.
derstand only the Celtic language, and
SO an Interpreter had to be employed.
The Official interpreter was a good fel-
low, whose wish was to do Justice, but
he certainly had leanings toward the
defendant,
The accused man was holding a
long conversation with the interpreter,
and that worthy did not translate the
speech to the court. At last the Judge
demanded to know what had been
said. -
Nothing, my lord,'' was the inter-
prefers unblushing reply.
"How dare you say that when we all
heard you talking to him. Come, sir,
what was it,"
my lord, it had nothing to do with
the case.">
IF you do not tell me what he said
I'll commit you for contempt. Now,
what did he say?"
"Well, my lord, you'll excuse me.
but he said, who's that ould woman
with the red bed curtains round her
sitting up there?"
Every one in court laughed, and the
tip-staff did not, for a moment, try to
stop the unsee,nly conduct. The Judge
in his red robes and white wig, colored
until his face was brighter than his
red robes and asked:
Sand what did vOu cav0n

The Minneapolis Tribune quotes
Chas. r. Flint, a prominent trust
magnate as saying: Il have to-
day places for several men to
whom I conld pay $4,000 a. year
each, but they must be men of all
around business ability" And
the president of another large
trust is quoted as follows: Il am
anxious at the present time to fill
five positions, three of which
yield SIS, 600 year, and the other
two $4,000 each. If the right
men could be found, they could
