Almost Appointed in 1897.

Henry c. Paynes appointment as Postmaster General will realize the greatest ambition of his, life. For 20 years or so he has been member of the Republican National Committee, and during each campaign served in an ex- ecutive capacity. so his acquaintance with public men is extraordinary large. He Is justly regarded as one of the shrewdest political managers in the country. He was Senator Hanna's right hand man in the great campaign of 1896 and again in 1sOO1 In 1897 he wanted a place in the Cabinet, and Senator Hanna brought more pressue on Mir. Mo- Kinley to get it LOT him than he ever brought in regard to any other appoint ment. But he was not appointed be- cause of various labor troubles in mil- waukee. which happened to be acute at that time.

Young women especially do not realize how intimately the general health Is related to the health of the delicate womanly organs. When the local dis eases are cured by "Fsvorite Prescrip- tions the general health at once iIil- proves The appetite is restored, sleep is enjoyed, the form rounds out, the cheeks regain the hue of health. Miss Simmons says in the letter as a result of using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription she feels as though she had

---s--- CLAIM TO BE oELAWAREs.
Pennsylvanians Who Can Trace An
 cestry to Famous Indian Tribes.

From the Washington Times.
 The Office of Indian Affairs has re- ceived petition from the descendants of the Delaware indians. living in and near Philadelphia. in which they ask for rec ogntion of their claim against the Gov ernment for a share of the lands and an- nuities granted to the Turtle tribe in 1908 as compensation for the relinquishment of their tribal lands. No action has as vet been taken in the matter by the In- dian Office.
 The Society of the Descendants of Delaware Indians" has been formed with a membership of 1S8, who can trace their lineage to the aboriginal owners of the land, and the chairman of the society advisory committee claims to be great Rreat-grandson of .le Turtle chieftain Nedowaway, who was a sgner of the treaty of 171S by which the tribe became dispossessed of much of it's land
 This grandson of Nedowaway, however, is now known as Franklin H, T. Jones, and has in his possession many docu- ments which bear the signature of Will fam Penn.
 By the terms of the Treaty of the Long Walk" as it is called. the Indians agreed to cede for a consideration. as much of their land as could be traversed by man on foot In two days, and the surveyors who measured the land covered SC miles in that time.
 In 1908 the Government gave 800 of the Indians tracts on the Missouri River, and certain annuities, but only TOO of them went West. the remaining members of tribe staying in Pennsylvania
 The 100 who rem aimed were afterward busted and left to shift for themselves. some of them becoming wanderers. and few lingering about the vicinity their old home, and from the latter body the society claims descent.

FOR LAWYERS WHO WEEP.
Russian Comment on Practice of the
 Pleading Counsel.

From the Washington Times.
 The manner in which the Russians view the shedding of tears by lawyers in American courts when pleading case in behalf of a client who has the bars of a prison staring him In the face can be judged from the editorial continent made upon the ruling of a Tennessee judge which appeared in the columns of the Novoe Vremya of St. Petersburg.
 The article as 1t appeared was trans lated from the Russian by MT. Lindsay s. Perkins. clerk in the eastern division Of the pension office, and is as follows:
 Some time ago a court in the State of Tennessee considered the following uues- ton:
 Should an attorney for the defense in addressing jury in, behalf of his client, be permitted to weep and to shed real tears? Do not such tears exert an iIle- gitimate influence upon the jury?
 Tt appears that in America many law. yers exercise their greatest influence upon the court and succeed in proving the innocence of their clients, not through the eloquence of their oratory, but bv merely weeping. The jury at once ac- quits the most hardened culprit after such an exhibition. That is not all; they themselves break down and sob on seeing the lawyer cry ta, .s
 The court decided that tears are weapons of defense and that an attorney might weep himself into mysteries in behalf of his client if he so desired. So that American lawyers will hereafter cry whenever and however they please. E
 Up to this time none of our Russian lawyers has been known to shed any but crocodile tears. They might weep in real earnest, however, over the loss of a good fat fee.'' 1

Seemed AbsurdIx Simple.

My doctor has told me that to remain In perfect health should lie flat on the floor for at least 16 minutes after din her. Though 1 cannot follow his pres cription in public-in my own room 1t is my habitual custom-I yet endeavor to find in a commodious armchair a satisfactory substitute. Yet even this remedy was denied me. Trembling with anxiety for my health on the morrow. was led into the library. where the ladies had already assembled.
 Across a bare, clothless table was stretched net some six inches high. Upon it lay two such raekets as I in my childhood's happy days had loved to use-dreaming not of subsequent ping pongs-to propel shuttlecocks nursery ceiling-wards Simple :. seeme- when a young man of our party, in an insult ing state of fitness. challenged our hos tess; and when the game began. 1t seemed more simple still. Backward and forward flew the ball. bouncing lightly from the polshed mahogany, and skim ming the net a score of times before misjudged stroke ended the rally.

She Is perplexed, about conditions of which she cannots speak Ito any other. She thinks of.the family physician. But her delicate nature shrinks from the questions she might be called upon to answer. And. .soYwithout' counsel or help she drifts along while every day time tightens the letters of disease.
 Young women instinctively know that certain conditions are abnormal. They know that heads and backs were not made to ache. But they do not know where to turn for relief.
 ANY MOTHER WOULD SAY
 what almost every mother knows, that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best medicine for the cure of womanly ills. It not only cures headache and backache but 1t cures the womanly ills which cause these pains.
 M am so much better since com menced taking your'' Favorite Prescrip- tion,'n writes Miss Jessie Simmons, of Thurston, Frederick Co.,, Md. VI am very much improved in health, and feel as though I had new lease of life. It WIS just what I,needed. Am more than thankful to you for the kindly interest YOU have taken, and hope that others will find the same benefit from your valu- able books and, medicines that I have"
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is not offered as a cure-all It is a woman's medicine, and it accompiishss perfectly the cure of wonanly diseases. It estab- fishes regularity. It dries unhealthy and offensive drains. It heals inflammation and uIceration and cures female weak ness. It is a purely vegetable prep aration, containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic, and cannot disagree with the most delicate constitution

Gave Milwaukee Telephone Returns

While some harsh things have been said against MT. Payne In his home town of Milwaukee ,Ie has some things there that have raised him in the esteem of the American Hamburg. When McKin- ley was elected in 1S96 MT. Payne, as Presiuent of the Wisconsin Telephone Company and also a prominent man in the affairs of the American Telegraph & telephone Company, arranged to give all the telephone subscribers in the city the election returns by long dis tance wire from New York. The phones were connected with special switch board and the returns as read in New York were heard in many hundred homes in the Cream City. Between bull letins a connection was made with the palm garden at the Schltz Hotel and the music from the orchestra there was put on the wires. A favorable bulletin from New York would be followed by a two-step and after Ohio was heard from the strains of a Strauss waltz would enliven things. From that night until today the Milwaukee telephone subscrib CTS are given a concert over the tele- phone every night and Sunday afternoon without charge and 1t IS all due to Mir. Payne.

Pierce's medicine and 1t brought me out to where I am now, from ninety pounds to one hundred and thirty-five. Any lady may write 10 me, enclosing { stamps, and I will answer"
 Women suffering from diseases of long standing are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are read in private and answered in private, and the written condolences of women are guard ! ed by the same strict professional pri- vacy observed in personal consultations with pr. Pierce, at the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute. Address correspon- ; ;dence to Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y. A great many women who have taken advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter, have expressed their qualification at being able to escape in this way the indelicate questionings, the offensive examinations and obnox- ious local treatments, considered neces- sary by some local practitioners. Dr. Pierce's wide experience and wonderful success in the treatment and cure of womanly diseases, enables him to obtain accurate knowledge of diseases by the written statement. In little over thirty years, assisted by his staff of nearly score of physicians, Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has treated and cured hundreds of thousands of weak and sickly women.
 The dealer who offers a substitute for UFavorite Prescription as cjust as good" does so to obtain the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious preparations. Accept no substitute for "Favorite Prescription" the medicine which makes weak women strong and sick women we'll.

While There Was Some Reaction in Prices the General Undertone
 of the Market Was
 Steady.

NEW YORK Aug. 1.-The cotton mar ket opened quiet with prices l13 points higher and for A time bid fair to follow an extremely narrow course with specu. lation confined to smaller Units than at any time of late. But toward midday business broadened out quite rapidly and prices worked up sharply. While there was some reaction later. the general un- dertone of the market was steady. There were good rains reported in Arkansas. but over the rest of the drought region or the West the weather was very unfavor- able to the crop. The forecast gave little hope of an carly break in the dry spell. while crop advices were gloomy In the extreme. Shedding. atunted growth. blooming at the top and whitening Of the leaves were frequently complained of. The monthly crop condition statement Of The Journal of Commerce made a bullirh impression, showing A decline of IT iu the average condition to 7.b3 Receipts at the ports were again slight.

A Too-Confident Immigrant.

New York Times.
 "say, young fellow, what do you think of that" postoffice clerk in charge of stamp window made the remark. Talk about hotel clerks hav- ing troubles. it's nothing as compared with ours"
 A little Irishman. whose faith in nu- man nature had just been rudely srocked, was the cause of the remark. To the clerk he had presented sl0 bill in payment for fifty 2-cent stamps, and had disappeared with both stamps and money. About a minute later he came back and said:
 Say, I lost me money.
 'I gave you your change" replied the clerk.
 Sure. I know you did. but I lost it"
 But what can I do about 1t? What did you do with it. anyway" ooh. I left it on the window wonder whin went to post me letter"
 What did you do that for?'
 Sure. I only win' few steps"
 The clerk could only smile as he turned away. There was nothing else for him to do. while the too trustful immigrant loudly berated the Ameri- cans for the lack of honesty and the government for it's refusal to make good his loss.
