That Reported Bluff

Several weeks ago some imaginative
writer composed story to the effect
that II. W. Scott, of the Oregonian, was
bluffed by Mark Hanna into ceasing to
oppose the administration at Washing
ton, by Hanna's threatening to en-
courage the establishment of new
paper in Portland. Incidents such as
these are interesting only in that they
show the calibre of the man conceiving
the idea and putting it into print. This
particular one proves that the man who
wrote IL is constituted so as to make it
possible for people 10 bluff him, and it
also proves that he has not much moral
courage. He cannot understand that
men of good average American nerve
cannot be bluffed or compelled unless
actually overpowered, and that the man
of commtndable self esteem will not
permit himself to be:cowed into submits
sion. He may be physically overcome,
but 80 long as he have power 10 resist,
will he attempt TO stand off the other
fellow who tries bullying tactics. LIE.

screed, and he will find that author easy

A FEW
REASONS
Which are Rapidly Making a
New Catarrh Cure Famous.

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies.
First: These tablets contain no CO.
caine, morphine or other injurious
drug and are as safe and beneficial for
children as for adults this is an import,
ant point when it is recalled that many
catarrh remedies do contain these very
Objectionable ingredients
Next: Being in tablet form this rem
edy does not deteriorate with age, or an
exposure to the air as liquid preparations
/ invariably do.
Next: The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties but it is
so far more convenient to carry and
to use at any time that it is only a ques-
tion of time when the tablet will super.
sede liquid medicines as ii has already
done in the medical department of the
United States army.
Next; No secret is made of the com.
position of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets
they contain the active principles OF
Eucalyptus bark, red gum, blood root
and Hydrastin, all harmless antiseptcs
which, however, are death to catarrhal
germs wherever found, because they
eliminate them from the blood.
Next: You cannot cure catarrh by
local applications to the nose and throat,
because these are simply local symptoms
and such treatment cannot possibly
reach the real seat of catarrhal disease
which is in the blood; for this reason
inhalers, douches, sprays and powders
never really core catarrh, but simply
give temporary relief which dose Of
plain salt and water will do just as we'll.
Catarrh must be driven out of the
system, out Of the blood, by an internal
remedy, because an internal remedy is
the only kind which can be- assimilated
into the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this better
than the old form of treatment because
he contain every safe specific known to
modern science in the antiseptlc form of
The disease.
Next: The use Of inhalers and spray
ng apparatuses, besides being disap-
pointing and ineffective, is expensive,
while complete treatment Of Stnart's
Jatarrh Tablets eau be had at any drug
tore in the United States and Canada
or 80 cents. 12-l7-l9-2l.

The Brltlsher and the Boer.

Commandaut William d. Snyman,
who was once the commander of the
Boer regiment, and was for a time on the
staff OF the famous General De Wet, but
is now fugitive whom the British have
threatened to execute il they ever sue
ceed in capturing him, is back in
America again and working to arouse
interest and sympathy in the Boer cause.
Two weeks ago he was in Holland, and
while there saw President Kruger, who,
he says, is in good health, despite all
reports to the contrary, and is deter
mined to carry on the fight againet the
British until the Beers have carried the
day and have gained independence for
their republic. Snyman says he has thus
far found much encouragement in
America, and in Buffalo, where he spoke
before II meetings, he found the people
surprisingly enthusiastic. "When the
Americans understand the true situa-
tion in South Africa they will, l think,
be almost unanimously on the side Of
the people who are struggling for their
independence. The Beers now have
from $1,000 to $4,000 men in the field,
according to his estimate and all of
these are we'll armed and equipped, but
he explains that the secret sympathy Of
the many Thousands Of inhabitants not
only Of the two republics, but in Natal
and Cape Colony as well, is most
valuable asset for the fighters in the
field. In his opinion, the available Boer
strength today is, greater than it was the
day of the surrender Of Pretoria, the
cause of this being the burning of farms
by the British, an action which aroused
every burgher in the land and caused
him to give himself up to the cause and
to determine to fight it out TO the death.
The war is now being carried on so bit.
tarlv and in such a reveugeiul way by
both sides that Snyman sees no hope OF
methods proving successful
