THE FOUNDATIONS OF AN
EDITOR ON HIS FIFTIETH
BIRTHDAY.

Editor Mccormick, of the Prince
ton (Ill.) Ne~s, on the occasion of his
reaching the half century mark, gives
vent to some recollections which are
frankly pathetic, rather than humor-
Gus:
"Today, July 9Th, 1901, the editor
of this paper is fifty years Of age.
One-half century seems a good long
time and it does seem that man OF
ordinarily good sense would learn
something in that space of time. We
have been, since fifteen years of age,
butcher, farmer, hotel keeper, pa
tent right man, loafer and newspaper
man. We have made Temperance
speeches, and drank a good deal OF
mean whisky. We have led prayer
and class meetings. exhorted and call
ed sinners to repentance. We have
made prohibition speeches and edited
a prohibition paper. We ran for Sec
retary OF State on the prohibition tick
ct in 1892, and have always thanked
the Lord that we did not get votes
enough to elect us.
"We have gone the whole gamut OF
sports and have sowed at least bush
ell and a peck more wild oats than
should have fallen to our portion. We
have seen lots of so called fun, but
laundering sight more trouble. We
have found that all is not gold that
glitters, nor is every man your friend
who pats you on the back and tells
you to "give 'em thunder when you
attack some prevailing vice or sin.
We have also found, in our newspaper
career, that when attacking popular
vices you had just as we'll make up
your mind to 60 it alone, for the very
element of society from whom you
would expect at least moral support,
will say you are fool or a crank, and
leave you with the sack to hold.
I'm the fifty years we have lived,
and especially thirteen and a half
years we have been in the newspaper
business, we have found that the good
old idea that "honssty is the best pol
icy" is a fallacy and humbug when
brought in contact with modern meth
DDS Of doing business. We have OBJ
served the fact that no matter how
much a man may act the rascal so
long as he has plenty Of money that
simple fact alone covers a multitude
Of SINS"

(Rensons Plaster is Pains Mastar. J

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is ''good" plaster does
not describe it 1t is the best possible plaster
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter OF course.
Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment are
either e1asperatingiy slow or have good
effect whatever. Coughs. colds. Inn ago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
ETC., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a

BEVERAGES AND DIGESTION

DR.. James w. Fraser has recorded
the result of an interesting series of
experiments on the action of our COM
mon beverages on stomachic and In
testinal digestion. The results OBJ
tanned from an exhaustive series Of ex-
periments and analyses show:
"That it is better not to eat most
albuminoid foodstuffs at the same time
as infused beverages are taken, for it
has been shown that their digestion
will, in most cases, be retarded, though
there are possible exceptions. Absorp-
tion may be rendered more rapid, but
there is loss of nutritive substance.
On the other hand, digestion ofstarchy
food oppears to be assisted by tea and
coffee, and gluten, the albuminoid of
-four, has been seen to be the principal
least retarded in digestion by tee.
From this it appears that bread is the
natual accompaniment OF tea when
used as beverage at a meal. 2. That
eggs are the best form of animal food
to be taken along with Infused bever-
ages, and apparently they are best
lightly if tea, and hard boiled if coffee
or cocoa is the beverage. 8. That the
"a sein Of .he milk and cream taken
with the beverage is probably absorb
ed in a large degree from the stomach.
That the butter used with bread under
goes digestion more slowly in the
presence of tea but more quickly in
the presence of coffee or cocoa; that
is, if the fats Of butter are influenced
in similar way to oleine."

THE PRESIDENT.

Thus, to a certain extent, the heaC
of State loses his identity as a private
citizen. The card Of one Presiden,
may suffice for all OF his successors.
The President does not occupy the
left side OF carriage seat. Adherence
to this rule is apparent to all who have
witnessed inaugurations. Thus, on
March 4, 1897, Mr.. Cleveland occupied
the right-hand seat of the Presidential
victoria on passing from the White
House to the Capitol, when he was
still President Returning from the
the Capitol, altrl A.r Mck,nlry had
taken his oath. tue latter, then Presi.
dent, occupied the right-hand seat.
Similarly, the Chief Executive must
not occupy other than the seat OF honor
at any forma! dinner.
THE PRESIDENT ACCEPTS NO VALUABLE
He must not accept gifts of great
value from interiors in the Federal SER
vice. Thus, when President Mckinley
received from the President of France
two handsome Royal Sevres vases it
was considered proper for him to accept
them. But within recent years a
President who accepted a seaside cot
taee from a Cabinet officer and several
other subscribers had heaped upon his
head considerable abuse. The Chief
Magistrate in question put an end to
the criticism by writing out check
covering the value Of the property.
The President does not allow him
self to he quoted in interviews with
newspaper correspondents or reporters.
Nearly all Presidents, however, have
made exceptions to this rule. Mr.
Cleveland authorized one interview,
and corrected the copy before it was
telegraphed. 1t is related that during
President Tyler's administration Ann
Royal, editor of Paul Pry," sensa-
tional sheet, forced the then Chief
Magistrate into an interview by en-
ploying quite unusual means. Presi-
dent Tyler occasionally enjoyed a swim
in the Potomac, whose banks were then
far from civilization. Ann Royal,
strolliny by the river, spied the Presi
dental apparel and seated herself
thereupon. She would not bulge until
the irate Executive, up to his neck in
the water, had granted the interview.
All Presidents have received news
paper men and given them such in
formation as they have deemed proper
for publication, on condition that the
source should not be mentioned Posi-
dents themselves have made these rules

mentary forms of opening and closing
official letters. He commences such
communications with "Sir," not "Dear

closing. In his correspondence with
foreign monarchs, however, he begins
his letters with the salutation, "Great

Your Good Friend.
He does not use his name upon his
personal cards, which simply bear the

yarn on an Augusta bachelor who had
occasion to 60 to Boston on business.
He went on night Pullman and took
a berth. Just across the way was a
handsome little woman and her three

Boston early next morning the two
were laughing and playing together
and the good-natured bachelor smiled
to himself as he rose to dress. Sud.

Notice of Appeal Is Given.

ton against the Jeffries- Rubin con-
test scheduled for Saengerfest hall in
this city tonight. The decree Of the
court permanently restrained the man.
ayers of the contestants and the Saeng-
erfeSt Athletic association and all con-
nected with the proposed event from
proceeding at Saengerfest hall on any
date. Attorneys for the defendants
gave notice of appeal and took eXcep-
lions to the law and facts in the find
ing of the court. The ground Of the
judges decision was that the contest
proposed was a prize fight and not a
boxing match such as the law COW
cred.
So there will be no contest between
Jeffries and Rubin or any one else in
Saengerfest hall in this city tonight,
and no other date has been fixed for
the event. The permanent injunction
has caused the indefinite postponement
by the promoters of the contest.
Cincinnati, Feb 16.-Everybody con-
nected with the Jeffries- Rubin fight,
including the Saengerfest society, has
declared it officially off so far as Gin
cinnati is concerned and no other place

CONGRESS IN BRIEF.
Work of the Lawmakers In the Senate and
in the House.

In the House.
Washington, Feb. 15.-The senate
considered yesterday without COM
petion the agricultural appropriation
and held night session for the read
ing OF the District code bill. During
the session Hale, Lodge and others
uttered warning relative to the great
opriations-nearly $1.000,00O,O 900.
| An executive session was held.
| The house discussed the sundry civil
/ bill and also had lively debate for
| political points. Forty-three pages of
the bill were completed.
Washington, Feb. 16-The senate
Yesterday passed the agricultural APP
preparation bill and put in the re-
mainder of the day on the ship sub
sidy, Teller giving notice that it would
not come to vote if he could help it.
! The house put in day Of filibuster-
| ing and did nothing, because it was
regular private claims day and Can
non, failing to get the regular order
set aside, manged to prevent action on
| the private claims.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-In the senate
/ Saturday, when the unfinished bust
ness-the shipping bill-was laid be-
fore the body, Spooner moved to pro-
coed to the consideration of the oleo-
| margarine bill. By practically unani-
nous vote the motion prevailed. Thus
| the subsidy bill was displaced as the
unfinished business and the oleomar-
garine bill was placed in that order.
It was debated an hour and then near
ly 800 bills not objected to, including
| 1877 private pension bills, were passed.
The house made little progress with
the sundry civil appropriation bill. At
4 d. m. public business was suspended
to allow the members to pay tribute to
the memory of the late Representative
Hoffecker, of Delaware.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Nearly the
whole Of yesterdays session OF the
senate was devoted to the considera-
ton of the pOstOtfice appropriation bill,
and the committee amendments were
nearly all acted upon. Pettus of Ala
bama delivered speech in opposition
to the ship subsidy bill.
The house passed the bill authoriz-
ing the st. Louis fair of 1903 and ap-
propriating $5,000,0O0 therefor. The
bill to exempt labor unions from the
operation of the antitrust law and
from court injunctions was defeated,
because it had been SO amended by the
committee as to modify the exception.
Cannon stated that the appropriations
for this session would aggregate 1884,
1855 exclusive Of $50,O00,00O sink
ing fund.

Palmer House last evening, and thirty
five minutes later fires were discovered
on two floors of the Great Northern
