Tall men, as a rule, have bodies out
of ~proportion to their lower limbs
that is. smaller than they ought to be
with the natural result that they are
unable to bear fatigue or to compete in
the struggles of life with lesser men
more tremendously proportioned. Ar.
nv experience bears out these obserya-
tons. In a long and fatiguing march
the tall men usually fall out first or
succumb to campaigning unless. as is
very rarely the case, they have well
knit and symmetrical frames. A sol.
der between ) feet ) inches and 5 feet
S or 8 inches is usually the man most
capable Of bearing the strain Of life.

PIERPONT MORGAN AND SUBSIDY BILL May Attempt to Put His Fleet
 in Registry SOME WASHINGTON GOSSIP David B. Hill and Tom Johnson Are Working for the Democratic Nom- Ination-Other Political Talk
 of Today.
SOME WASHINGTON GOSSIP
BY w. T. MANNING.

Washington, May 11-(Special.) )-Presi- dent Mckinley in one of the earliest speeches made on his present tour inti- mated that the shipping subsidy bill would be passed during the coming ses- sion of Congress. This was not a sur prise to anyone, for he has repeatedly de- clared himself to be in it's favor, and has recommended its enactment in more than one of his messages. But the presidential utterance has done one thing, namely, it has started the question: What are J. Pierpont Morgan plans in regard to his gigantic shipping deal? Will,he make an effort to obtain American registry for the splendid fleet over which he has obtained control? The opinion is unanimous among those who discuss the matter that if there is q good-szed subsidy around, MT Nor
 gan will not quietly see 1t divided up among his rivals without making de- termined fight to get the lions share of it, and that he nquestionaoiy would have that share if the great fleet can be brought under the American flag. As the owners of the American Transport line he and his associates would be entitled to a good round sum, but to a man of Nor Gan's Voracity it would be a mere nibble.
 If application should be made for the naturalization of the Leyland line the probabilities are very strong that a bill granting it could be easily passed. At the present time the great shipbuilding firms have all the work they can do for years ahead, so that really no injury could be- fall them because of the registration. On the contrary they would be certain to gain by the transaction. The repairs on the great fleet would all have to be made in American yards, and the additions to the line would all have to be built here
 But what a subsidy will 1t be if all the

A Pile Cure That Goes to the Root of
 the Disease.

There are lots of lotions, oils and salves that will, through their soothing in- fluence, relieve temporarily the pain in- cident to piles. But Is that all the sur ferer required? Isn't 1t a horrible thought to realize that the ease is only tempor- ary and the disease goes on under the surface without a moments interruption Wouldn't 1t be wiser to select remedy that seeks the source and regulates those deep-seated disorders which induces the disease9 Pyramid Pile Cure not only re- lieves the pain at once, but effects per manent cure of the worst form of piles.
 You don't have to go through tedious course of dieting while using it either It strikes through those delicate mem branes and tissues and sets the blood in healthful circulation, reducing at once the painful inflammation and congested tumors.
 This remedy is not haphazard combi- nation of drugs but is a remedy invented by specialists who have treated piles and blood disorders successfully for years Manufactured by the Pyramid Drug Co. at Marshall Mich. Almost any first class druggist has it on sale.
 Don't treat this disease with every lotion and salve that comes along. Remembei the parts affected are among the most delicate in the human body. This remedy is absolutely safe and no one need fear to apply 1t freely on the most inflamed parts. The speed with which it allays the pain is an agreeable surprise to the sufferer

TRAPPING ON EASTERN SHORE.
Hunters Make Their Living From the
 Skins of the Otter.
From tbe Baltimore Sun.

from the Baltimore
 State Senator William F. Applegarth of Dorchester County arrived in Bal timoFe on Sunday on the steamer Fred Avon with 25, GOO otter, mink and musk rat skins, valued at about $6000 which he had collected from the trappers of his county. The Senator said Much of the southern part of Dorchester Is com posed of low-lying, marshy land, cut up into small islands and peninsulas, about whose shores the fresh water streams of the Blackwater and Honga rivers thread their way It is the ideal home of aquatic fur-bearing animals. Ever since the hides of the muskrats have begun to be utilized the trappers of Dorchester have done a thriving trade in the capture of them, and they are practically as plentiful now as ten years ago.
 "The otters have not held up again st their prosecutors so successfully, and have now become very rare. There are yet many minks In some favored sections and in my immediate neighborhood about 200 were captured during the last seasor In Lakes district, where l operate, tl b are about 100 trappers, but of that nunL -. about 10 procured the majority of ths 25,00 skins which have just brought to the city.
 The successful trappers depend all most entirely upon the product of their marshes as means of support and through the proceeds coming from fish, animals and wild ducks during the win ter season are enabled to live very com fortably. Cabins or shanttes are erected upon or near the marshes. and, during the trapping season, which lasts from January l to March 31, they live practi- cally upon the marshes. Some of the most successful own their marshes, and many others rent either on fur shares or a money rent from the owners. One hun dred acres are considered a very large range for one man to hunt over, and usually, upon good marsh, z5 acres worked thoroughly will produce as many belts as a larger area covered insuff1c- iently.
 'The trappers are hardy fellows, most of whom have been raised from boyhood upon the marshes. and the traits neces- sary for good trapper are instilled into their youthful minds from the start. The men frequently work several hundred steel traps. Very little shooting Is done. but sticking rats with gigs, which pierce through their houses when the tide COW CTS the marshes, Is yet extensively pur- sued. As many as hundred rats are sometimes speared by one man during a days hunt.
 ''Women have also been known to prove successful trappers. and have seen them attired in mems clothing and long rubber boots plungfng about the marches spear- ing rats or attending the traps"
 The prices this season are but little diff ferent from those of last. Rat skins sell In Baltimore at wholesale at 12 cents for the browns and 23 cents for the blacks. Mink skins bring from $1 to g each.

Well, under the law the administration could have put the army at that figure. Has 1t done so?
