FOR OLD AGE

To the old, as to babies, the
even balance of health is more
important than anything else
in the world. The possible
health, in age, is not high and
strong; it is only even.
There is no end, but death
to the trouble that comes of its
loss. 1t ought to be watched
like a baby's.
Scott's emulsion of cod-liver
oil for very old and very young
in different ways-is the food
to secure this even health.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
How They Are Esteemed

From the Cleveland Leader.
The appointment by President
Roosevelt of a Democrat to the position
of United States district judge in Ala
bama should occasion no surprise.
OF course. it is not TO be intimated
that the President is a Democrat, or
that he has a leaning toward the
Democratic party. but during his en-
tire political career he has been an un-
compromising advocate OF the merit
system in the filling of official posi-
tions.
When ne announced that It was his
purpose to give offices in the South
10 the best men. and that he would
appoint Democrats if he could not find
suitable Republicans. he meant exactly
what he said. Now If the Southern Re
publicans do not get offices they can
/ blame nobody but themselves. The
truth is that there are few Republicans

positions. The Leader has not hesi-

SmithheId Hams Are Scarce

SmltntleIu MANS HIb oCdIC6
While many persons have heard of
the Westphalia hams, there also are
equally as many others who not only
have heard of. hut have had the pleas
ure of eating the world famous Smith
field hams. The Wayfarer never real
lied until this morning how hard it
is to obtain the genuine Todd's Smith
field hams. 1t was during a conver-
sation with l.. Irving Handy that the
question of hams came up. Mr.. Handy
had written to the Todd Company for
some Smithfield hams and in reply the
company informed Mr.. Handy that ii
had no such hams in stock, and it was
necessary to send in his order several
months. in fact almost a year ahead,
for them.
The hams are taken from the cele-
brated and sWift-footed razor-back
hogs of Virginia, and are cured in old
plantation style by the TOdds, who
seem to be the sole pOssessors Of this
method. The peculiarly fine flavor of
the hams is said TO be due to acorns
eaten by the razor-back porkers. The
hams sell for twenty-five cents per
pound. wholesale.
There is an art in cooking them, and
the following directions accompany
the hams:
First wash well the ham in warm
water.
Now place it in the boiler with from
eight to ten gallons Of cold water.
At the commencement of the cooking
you will be careful to only simmer very
slowly for the first hour. Thereafter
steadily and regularly boil until the
ham is soft and well done.
To cook thoroughly a ten-pound ham
requires four hours; and other sizes in
like proportion.
Remove the skin while the ham is
warm.

Preacher Who Caught On

He preached about the Pleasure
That there is in doing good
lie held the Scripture sacred
And he did the best he could;
He consoled the weeping widow
And he dried the orphans tear,
lie made his sermons scholarly,
But few turned out TO hear
He preached about the danger
That there is in doing wrong,
He held that being righteous
Goes for more than being strong;
He preached that men should follow
The Lords teachings day by day,
And presently he noticed
That the people stayed away.
II.
He bought magic lantern
And some slides TO fit the same,
And announced that he hereafter
Would be right up with the game;
He studied slang instead of
Poring over ancient lore,
And the crowds ere long began TO have
To line up at the door.
He ceased to warn mis- hearers
That they ought to change theil
ways
He ceased to preach the Gospel,
And he studied TO amaze
He says they're coming easy,
He's as cockey as can be-
! They've given him a finer house
And raised his salary.

able pleasure that one picks up the
November number of Pearson's Maga-
zine. for the richness and beauty of
the cover design is a promise of bright
ness and artistic work within. The
magazine opens with a poem by w. J..
Hampton on Mckinney, and a beautiful
portrait of Mrs. Mckinley forms the
frOntispiece to a carefully illustrated
record of the last days Of the late
President The romantic story of the
career of the celebrated Spanish paint
er, Antonio Fabres. is told in a capita
article which is illustrated with several
reproductions of his most famous
paintings. Two other personal arti-
clos appear in the same number. One
of these gives the first authentic ac-
count of some of the remarkable ex-
ploits of Major r. f. Burnham, the
famous American scout, who it will
be remembered, was called post hast
to South Africa by Lord Roberts in the
early stages of the Boer war; the other
is an account Of the peculiar pastime OF
Walter Winans. the worlds greatest
revolver shot. whose English estates
are so large that he can indulge in the
sport of deer shooting with a revolver
from horseback in his own demesne.

At the latter point a New York con-
