chusetts, in the senate, have introduced
bills ''for the suppression of train rob-
berry in the territories of the United
States and elsewhere" 1t provides the
death penalty for those guilty Of hold

with thousands of miles of seacoast
equipped with fine harbors, boundless
forests, iron and coal enough to supply
the world, skilled mechanics, enter
prising shipbuilders, the largest expor-
tations Of any country in the world,
imports amounting last year to $780,
900, 900. and abundant capital, we have
permitted other countries-our com
mercial rivals, our interiors in most of
these regards-to seize upon the path
ways of the oceans and hold them to
our practical exclusion. Last year we
carried under our flag to and from Eu-
rope only 2 1-e per cent of our exports
and imports; to and from the world a
fraction over 0 per cent. We paid for
eign nations principally Great Britain
and Germany, 100000 a day in gold
for transporting our foreign com
merce. From Senator Frye's speech

THE FIRST BABY.
rs Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and it's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is TO become n mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SD prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
il is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are Interested, and es-
pecially eXpectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. Moth
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
information of great value to all. 1t
