alone Will test alike his patience, his tact
and his capacity for work.
The appointing of assistant sergeants-
alarms Is by no means one of the least
of his troubles. There are generally $50
OF these at least, apportioned among the
various states, and the demand for places
on the staff OF the conventions manager
is extremely lively. Nominally he de-
cides who shall serve, but actually his
decisions are based upon the recommend
ations of the delegates. Each of these is
almost sure to ask for more places than
can be given, and the sergeant-at-arms
sometimes has a hard time to avoid max
ing enemies in turning down those for
whom places cannot be found.
At first blush you might wonder why
any one would put up a fight to be an
assistant sergeant-at-arms, since no pay,
not even expenses, accompanies appoint
ments of this sort, and some of the ap-
pointees, at least have to work like bea-
vers from the beginning to the end of the
convention, helping to keep things In or
der. But for the brief space of time dur
ing which the convention is In session
the assistant Sergea nt-at-arms Is a per-
son of some consequence. He wears
badge which admits him to all parts of
the convention hall; he is In great de-
mand among those In attendance as one
who can do faVors for his friends, and
his face is reasonably sure to become
more or less familiar to some Of the
party magnates. More than one holder
of petty government places has made his
start on the remunerative side of politics
by serving as deputy sergeant-at-ar at
convention time.
After the deputy sergeant-at-arms come
the doorkeepers. They are not so nu-
merous as the deputies, and their number
varies according to the nature Of the hall
In which the gathering is held, the rule
being to appoint two, one for day service
and the other for night service for each
door. They are drawn from the ranks
Of those generally known as "hench-
men," though the term is not used here
in any belittling sense.
D. G. Wiswell, of Wisconsin, will be
sergeant-at-arms Of the Republican con-
vention this year.

In the eye of the public the permanent
chairman of national convention is by
far the most important official connected
with such a gathering. And, in truth, no
one may gainsay the chairman's position
and power. For a brief period he is SUI
preme at least nominally, and more than
one chairman has so conducted himself
while welding the gavel of nominating
party conclave as to change the history of
his party, the nation and perhaps the
world.
But indispensable and powerful as the
permanent chairman may seem to be,
there is one other national convention
functtonary who is quite as indispensable
and often of greater actual power. In a

Thousands have tried from time I'm
memorial to discover some efficacious
remedy for wrinkles and other imperfec-
tions of the complexion, but none had
yet succeeded until the Misses Bell, the
now famous Complexion Specialists, of rs
Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered
the public their wonderful Complexion
Tonic. The reason so many failed to
make this discovery before is plain, be-
cause they have not followed the right
principle. Balms, Creams, Lotions, etc,
never have a tonic effect upon the skin,
hence the failures.

SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 1S.-The Chi

Kang Yuh Wei, for whose hetd the en-

The way for the actual travel on all
roads shall be made as nearly as may
be midway between the side limits of
the right of way, not more than sin

tiled drained, or rolled and otherwise
made hard and smooth, and put in the
best possible condition to withstand
the effects of use and water, and to
remain as dry and hard and smooth as
is nossible for earth roads. The Lewis
bill requires the county road super
intendent to keep the road in the con-
ditions called for by the bill, and re-
quires him to cut the weeds and grass
at the sides of roads. 1t allows him
grass and drift found at the sides OF
highways for his personal use.
The board of supervisors shall be
compelled to investigate and order
built any permanent road requested by
twenty-five or more freeholders who
are Taxpayers and voters of the coun-
ty. The bill provides that road of
this kind shall be paid for by the coun-
ty and state. The county auditor is re-
qured to certify to the secretary of

nish plans and specifications, which
shall be laid before the executive conn-
ell, which body shall determine If the
work shall be done, and If SO, the best
way to do it, within thirty days from
the date of receiving the plans and
specifications. All permanent roads are
required to be built within the limits
of the siNteen-foot roadway prescribed
for earth roads.
For the purpose of investigating the
question of road building, the eNecu-
five council is. permitted to employ eN-

them for the building of samples of
various kinds of permanent roads.

road shall be paid by the county where
in the road is built. N.nen one mile or
more is completed the county auditor
shall certify this fact to the executive
council, including an itemized state
ment of the cost of the work. The eX-

When the little family circle is broken
and we sit sadly looking upon the vacant
chair, we think of the things that perhaps
we might have done to keep the loved one
with us. Why not think of these things
now before it is too late? Is it a kind, low
ing and Woodworking mother who is giving
all her strength and efforts for the family
well-being and happiness? Isit a delicate,
fragile sister; or weak and ailing wife
Try to give her the tender care she needs.
Do not let her fade away for want of ear
nest effort to preserve and restore her.
An Ohio lady, Mrs Shropshire, living in Ballou,
Pierce, of Buffalo N. " says: MY mother had
an ovarian tumor which we thought would re-
suit in her death, but we commenced using your
Favorite Prescription,' and before she had
taken three bottles she began to improve; she is
living to-day and we have given your medicine
the credit. My mother was sxty-sjx years old
when the tumor commenced to grow: she is
seventy-six now and the tumor is all gone. She
had gotten awful large, and her limbs began to
swell before she began to use your medicine. I
value 1t SO much that am hardly ever out of
1t in my house." -
This is but one of many thousands of in
stances in which this matchless "Prescrip-

methods. For every form of female weak
ness and disease it is the supreme specific
