Hon. David Meekison Is we'll known,
not only In his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
II have used several bottles of Pc
ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head. | feel
encouraged to believe that If I use it
a short time longer l will be able to
fully eradicate the disease of thirty
years standing. Yours truly,
David Meekison."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
a slight cough, cold in the head, or q
trifiing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear,

Robin ON - Redbreest Acts
T - Scandalously In
q ear W the South.

Many of his northern friends will be
shocked to learn that Robin Red
breast leads a double life Well
dressed, jaunty, trimming over with
good nature, devoted to his wife and
babies, he is a model of respectability.
It's true we do not like to share with
him our very earliest peas and choicest
cherries, but he is so great a favorite
and his thieving is carried on with
such calm assurance that we readily
forgive. He has no enemies but the
family cat. All this here at home.
When Robin goes south for his win
ter vacation he is tempted and falls.
1t happens in this way: In December
and January the robins find on the
gulf coast a climate that suits them.
They also find an ornamental tree
bearing hard, yellow berry about as
large as small pea-China berries
OF which they are extremely fond.
Now. the China berry, while innocent
In appearance, is a very dangerous
food for robins. 1t contains some mar

as alcohol affects man. It makes
Robin drunk, and when he is drunk he
acts precisely like drunken man.
Exhiiarated at first, he dances about
and sings In 'We-won't go home-till-
morning" sort of way. This happy
condition is soon followed by drunk

the head droops, and the bird loses
an sense of danger. While in this
stupid state the negro boys easily pick
the birds from the low branches.
whsrs they are perched After a lit
tie the birds recover, but only to hunt
more China berries. AS long as there
are China berries Robin is consistently
and persistently drunk. He apparent
ly eats the berries for the single pur-
pose OF getting drunk and because he
likes it. He isn't hungry, for he Is
gorged with the berries to such an ex-
tent that when, as sometimes happens,
he misses his drunken hold and falls
TO the ground he bursts open SO stuff

that even robin can undergo this sort

Coachers of High Quality in Demand.
There is said to be at the present
time very good demand for high
priced coachers both for home and
foreign markets, In fact this demand
has been quite brisk for a year past.
There are large number of good
sized cities in the United States and
in each city are people that can afford
to have a team of high quality coach
ers. This makes the volume of home
demand considerable. There is an es-
pecially strong demand for well-match-
ed teams, and men that have such to
sell can get good deal more than
the going market price for them. Not
being able to get this the buyers Will
take the cross-matched teams at a
pretty fair price, If the quality be good.
Here comes in the value of color. 1t
shows that a prepotent stallion in
locality is Of even greater value than
ordinarily if he can throw the same
color in his colts. This fact should
discourage hap-hazard breeding.

An Australian paper says that the
farmers of Australia generally are
ready to accept system of govern
ment grading of butter such as is now
being used in New Zealand and Victo-
ria, in Australia. We believe this will
be the ultimate conclusion arrived at
by most of the farmers and dairymen
that export butter, whether In the
United States or in other countries.
Governments must protect the trade
that has been built up or Is to be built
up in dairy products Every nation
that has become a great and successful
exporter of such products has had a
sort of government supervision over
the goods sent out. Some of our lead
Ing dairy experts and writer's have
urged the establishing in the great
butter buying centers In this country
of places where the butter shall be
scored and tested. When we come to
that point we may hope not only to
secure more foreign trade for dairy
products, but may hope for an enlarge
ment at home.
It is evident that In no nation has
butter-making been reduced to a sci
ence. Everywhere we find the meth
DDS in use very primitive, the best
processes being only in the hands of
men that are few in number For ex-
ample, we quote the remarks of a
Russian paper on the methods of but
ter-making in that country: eff we
wish to come out winners In this
peaceable competition we must do
away with our old-fashioned dairy
ways, accompanied as they are with
intolerable dirt everywhere and In
everything, with miserable appliances,
with perfect ignorance of the simplest
manufacturing axioms, and with ran
dom and hand-to-mouth habits" A
British consular agent in Siberia says
that the dairy papers in that country
contain similar articles. And we must
acknowledge that we read parallel ar
ticles in almost every dairy paper
that comes to us, whether from Aus
tralia, Ireland, France, Canada or the
United States. 1t shows that bad
methods are not confined to any one
country or any one race of men.

wAENINa AGAINST IMPERIALISM.

Far from India comes warning
against American tendencies toward
q military republic. The Tribune
published at Lahare, the capital city OF
Puniah, British India, com menting on
the imperial trend of the hour, says:
The last number of the North Ameri-
can Review contains an article on
current topics from the pen of the
Hon. Ben jamin Harrison, whose.death
was announced the other day. America
in its present state of political transi-
ton was in great need of men like
Benjamin Harrison, men who, with
unlllnching faith in the American
constitution, always endeavored to
keep their country straight in the
grand old path cut out by their illus
trious forefathers. Benjamin Har-
rison was one of those men who man
fully stick to their guns under the
most hopeless circumstances; and a
nan of this character-with his uner-
ring wisdom, vast experience and
powerful personality-was surely one
who could be relied upon by the ma
ton in the hour of doubt and distress.
When, in an unguarded moment, the
old world lost sight of it's ideal the
one great common ideal to which civ
ilization is working it's way-and was
struggling in the gloom, with an ocean
of greed and hunger foaming around
the new world cleaned like the
Pole star, not the shadow of a cloud
marring its luster. And a sacred
hope fingered some where that it would
some day or other help the world to
regain the right path. The hope has
received a rude shock. The only
Eden on this earth where the forbid
den fruit had not it's influence felt is
no more. and it's mortal taste has al
ready begun to tell upon its victim.
We are speaking of the imperial re-
public of the United States Of America
with its growing lust for self-aggrand-
izement and the ever-increasing war
expenditure. Fortunately there are
still men in America who never cease
TO keep before them the old ideal and
who direct their strenuous efforts in
preventing others from taking the
wrong way, and the late Hon. Ben ia
min harrison was one of them. Now
that he is no more his musings on
the present condition of his country.
which he devoutly loved, bear seal of
sacredness, and will, we think, i'm
p ess the American mind with more
than ordinary force"

SCENT A DANGER.

The Chicago Tribune SOUNDS note
of warning on the SUBJECT of over
capitalization. According to the
Tribune, the officials of the treasury
are considerably concerned over the
conditions prevailing in Wall street,
and the influence of the department
at Washington is being exerted on the
New York banks to get them to dis
countenance the Misrepresentation.
The Tribune says: Treasury people
talked with say that while there is
not the shadow of doubt in regard
to the general commercial prosperity
of the country, there is cause for
alarm in the conditions mani
tested in Wall street. There has
been, these officials say, per-
feet mania for the organization of
trusts, and the securities of these
mammoth corporations have been
dealt in with feyerish activity on the
stock exchange. The treasury de-
partment is not at all concerned
about ordinary stock jobbing schemes.
so far as they affect the specializing
element only. The financial officers
of the government have been preach
ing convervatism for some time. They
say that there has been a large over
capitalization in many of the indus
trial enterprises. and day of reckon
ing is certain when an effort is made
to squeeze the water out of these Sc
curities. The thing which is troubling
the treasury officials is not the fact
there has been frantic speculation in
Wall street, but rather the fact that
money which belongs to legitimate
commercial enterprises has been di-
verted into the avenues of specula-
ton. The money must get back in
to the ordinary channels somehow,
and great fear is expressed by the
treasury people that possible panic
on Wall street may have a serious
effect upon general business.
"A prominent official is quoted as
say ing the treasury department is do
ing what it can to stop this pouring
of good money IN the Wall street rat
hole but that much has not been ac-
complished az yet. He points out
that there is no danger of CONNER
