SIDE LIGHTS ON REEDS LIFE.

Representative Champ Clark,
of Missouri, once gave some vivid
verbal sketches of Mr.. Reed
which the latter's friends recog-
nized as true to life.
"In the greenback year in
Maine," said Mr.. Clark, she es-
capped defeat by only 115 majority.
When he went to supper he
thought he was defeated. When
he returned to headquarters aft
er supper his followers set up
mighty shout. Not having heard
of his election, he said to them !:
You are making tremendous
fuss over the corpse. In relating
that incident in his life he naively
remarked : THE country came
near losing the invaluable services
of a great statesman on that oc-
casion.
"No company of soldiers in the
regular army was ever more
thoroughly drilled than was the
regular Republican minority of
Fifty third Congress. You have
heard the old dictum, When Si-
mon says thumbs up it's thumbs
up and when Simon says thumbs
down it's thumbs down. Time
and again l have seen Mr.. Reed
bring every Republican up stand
ing by waving his hands upward,
and just as often, when they had
risen Inadvertently, ! have seen
him make them take their seats
by waving his hands downwards.
81 once heard a minister preach
who knew agreat deal more about
theology than about English
grammer. He read verse from
the Bible and then said: 'Breth-
rem and sisters, the whole of the
Gospel is all squz up in that one
little text. Mr.. Reeds Career
in the Fifty-third Congress was
all squz up in one remark made
by Lafe Pence, the brilliant young
Populist from Colorado, when he
characterized him as the mentor
OF the Republicans and the tor
mentor of the Democrats. -"

FULTON COUNTY NEWS,
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
AT Last His Ashes win Repose After
Numerous vicissitudes.

Numerous vieisstudes.
To the mind that can stop long
enough in this age of hurry to
think of the past the imposing
ceremony of depositing the re.
mains of Christopher Columbus
in the special mausoleum prepar-
ed for them in the Cathedral of
Seville is an event of interest. 1t
was appropriate that in this GER
emony the coffin containing the
remains of the "Admiral of the
High Seas" should be borne by
Spanish seamen and that one of
the chief dignitaries in the pro-
cession was the Minister of Ma
rine.
The remains of the discoverer
of the New World would appro-
priately have found their final
resting place at Havana but for
the war which rolled up the last
part of Spain's map of posses
sions. Among the questions that
were passed upon by the Peace
Commission that met in Paris in
October, 1898, was the disposition
of the remains of Columbus. The
Duke of Veragua, as the lineal de-
scendant of the great navigator,
desired that with the passing of
Cuba and Porto Rico from under
the dominion of Spain the re-
mains of his illustrious ancestor
should also be transferred to
Spanish soil. AS Columbus was
not a Spaniard, and as Spain
broke his heart with her injus-
tice, it would have been far more
appropriate for the remains of the
first viceroy of the New World to
have remained at Havana. But
the Government of the United
States in it's hour of victory was
magnanimous in this as in all 9th
er things, and the concession
was granted.
Columbus dead has almost as
many vicissitudes as Columbus
living. His ashes have had an ex-
perience that has few if any par
allels in the history of the world s
great men. From Valladolid to
Seville, from Seville to Hispano-
la, from Hispanola to Havana, and
now from Havana back again to
Seville they have journeyed, on
each occasion with fitting pomp
and religious ceremony. This
fifth funeral will probably be the
last, and the great Cathedral of
Seville will henceforth have an
added interest to Americans who
journey to Spain and muse over
her departed glories. New York

How to Get Into Touch With Mature

NJ. Maeterlinck has discovered
that the only way to get into touch
with nature is to travel at full speed
in a motor car, for by this means
only do you get into "intimate rela-
tions with rivers, fields and trees" "
One can imagine NJ. Maeterlinck as
the contact with the tree trunk or
brook became imminent repeating
the old exclamation of the falling
steeplejack. Only NJ, Maeterlinck
would say, "Now for the intimate
relation" 1t is prettier phrase
than "the blooming bump" Lon

MR. AND MRS. J. 0. ATKINSON, NDEPENDENcE, Mo.

In letter dated January l, 1900,
Mr.. Atkinson says, after five years ex-
perience with Peruna:
al will ever continne to speak good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a
travelling man am a walking adver-
tisement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. am still cured of catarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box ar. independence, Mo,
When old age comes on, catarrhal
diseases come also. systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective systemic reme-
dy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use Of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hratman,
giving full sta tement of your case and
he will be pleased to give you his valu-
able advice gratis.

most critical period in tho life of a
woman-change of life. In June,
1895, wrote to you about her case.
You advised course of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
and have to say it completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for those
wonderful remedies.

according to directions. Success t.
