be scholar and gentleman as well,
and for these and other reasons,
many people and most of his Wash
ington friends and acquaintance re-
greet his recall. Interest in his de-
parture is now enhanced by the
promise he has made of n literary
production by his own pen of his
American impressions. 1t is to be
hoped Wu will keep this promise and
write such n book. He has had am
pie time to make q careful study of
America and Americans. Being n
man of quick conception and deep
penetration he has undoubtedly COM
piled in his remarkable mind many
impressions which he can present in
print in a manner not only intensely
interesting, but decidedly valuable.
Though he would laud Americans for
their greatness and their many good
characteristics and progressiveness
he would also point out our faults
which we too often overlook and un-
derestimate. If then, in his book
Minister Wu treats us with absolute
fairness, his book will surely rank
very high as literary effort and
will be eagerly, sought by the read
ing, mountaineering world. He
would, by leaving such work among
us upon his departure thus leave a
lasting monument to very pleasant
memory.
As to his successor, Sir Chen Tung
comes with most desirable recon-
mendations. but he will needs guard
himself very carefully to amply fill
the vacancy made by Minister Wu's
recall.

Poisoning the system.

1t is through the bowels the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipa-
ton keeps these poisons in the sys-
tenn, causing headache, dullness and
melancholia at first, then unsightly
eruptions and finally serious illness
unless a remedy is applied. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trou-
bic by stimulating the liver and pro-
mote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently, but by strengthening the
bowels enable them to perform their
own work. Never grippe or distress.

Reward for a Renegade.

The president seems anxious to re-
ward Senator McLaurin, of South
Carolina. for having proved himself
traitor to the democratic party
which sent him to the senate. Ever
since he has been in the senate he has
turned his back on true democratic
principles and worked with the enc
my on the other side and now the
president proposes to reward him by
giving him a life appointment on the
court of claims. on the theory that
he is appointing a man of the mi
nority or of the opposite party. on
"a non-partisan commission. While
it appears TO be fair proposition on
the fact to appoint one man of the
minority party on commission.
about nine times out ten such a
position is used to reward some fell
low of the opposite party who has
acted with the majority party. There
are some exceptions to this rule. In
Illinois we have some very good
democrats who are minority members
of different commissions. but in too
many instances the appointment has
been reward to some ''so-called"
democrat for the good he has done
by helping the republican party.

coming from a nation whose people

During those trying days Minister
