sitive Persoa Perfectly at Ease
About His Nose.

Notwithstanding the man knew how he
had come by his red nose, he was extremely
sensitive about it, and any reference to it
was resented promptly and with emphasis.
One day he was calling on some ladies when
the small boy of the family was present. The
youngster was strangely attracted by the
radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the
moment the visitor entered the room until
ne had a chance to speak to his mother, re-
lates the New York Herald.
rs it wrong to tell story, mammal" he
asked so that everybody could hear.
''Of course it is, she replied, with proper
degree of horror.
"But isn't it right to tell one just some
times?" he persisted.
We'll" she hesitated, possibly If one is
told to spare the feelings of some person it
might be excused"
"And why does my little man ask such q
question:" inquired the gentleman very
coaxingly.
Because" responded the boy, 81 wanted
to say your nose wasn't bit red, if some
body else wasn't going to say it pretty soon"
Later when the culprit was going to pun
ishment he asked his mother if she wouldn' t
have licked him just the same if he had
told the truth.
Moral-Don't monkey with morals.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
tenth Annual Meeting at Colorado Springs
Under Auspicious Circumstance
President Walsh's Address.

Colorado Springs, Col, Oct. THE
tenth National Irrigation congress
opened at two yesterday afternoon,
under circumstances especially
suspicious. Great significance is lent
to what will be done through the
fact that the irrigation movement
has been taken out of the sphere
of merely propaganda and given a
national Importance through the &C
ton of the last congress in passing
bill authorizing the proceeds from
the sale of state lands to be used
for irrigation purposes in the sew
eral states. President Thomas F.
Walsh, of the congress, arrived in
the city yesterday and found every
thing in readiness for the three days
convention. Delegates poured in by
every train and the indications early
in the morning were that this years
congress would be the most largely
attended ever held. President Roose-
welt sent message of congratulation
and cordial sympathy to be read be-
fore the convention. President
Walsh's address before the congress
was repeatedly cheered.
Referring to the Importance to the
country as a whole of national ir-
rigation, Mr.. Walsh said: ct is not,
however, to broad movements of pop
ulation that 1 especially desire to di-
rect your attention in the brief time
at my disposal. 1t is not the dream
of empire that may come to great
nation with the conquest of territory
wherein 1OO,OOO,OOO will sometimes
dwell, which appeals to my magma
ton. But it is the dream of home
and independence which will come
to many struggling family with the
| announcement that one more fair
valley of arid America has been
thrown open to settlement at the
actual cost of reclamation. What
does it mean to the nation to have
millions of people gradually pass
from the servitude of the town to
| the sovereignty of the country? 1t
means, my friends, the enlistment
of a new army for the defense of
the republic in every hour of need.
Give a man home upon the soil
| and you have made him the patriot
who will defend your institutions at
the ballot box and on the battle
| field'

FOR THE CANTEEN.
Secretary of War Root Will Ask
Congress to Repeal Present Law.
Reports from Military Posts Declare Moral
Condition OF Troops Is Worse Than
When Liquor Was Sold on
Post Exchanges.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Eihu Root,
secretary of war, will recommend
that congress at its next session re-
peal the law prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating beverages on military
reservations. He will urge that the
canteen system, which has been a
source of considerable agitation for
many years, be re-established. The
secretary will make this recommen-
dalton upon the strength of reports
made by department commanders
and upon Investigations which the
war department has conducted rela-
tive to the effect of the abandon
ment of the system. 1t is doubtful
if any legislation can be enacted on
this subject at the short session. Mr..
Roots recommendation is certain to
arouse the antagonism of the w. C.
T. U. and kindred organizations,
whose years of hard work accom-
plished the abolition of the canteen
system.
Gen. Miles does not agree to the
position taken by the secretary Of
war. 1t is expected that he will con-
and will probably make strong rec
concentrations against the repeal of
the present law. Regardless of the
attitude of Gen. Miles, it is admitted
at the war department that Secre-
tary Root is going to take a pro-
nounced stand in favor of the re-es-
tablishment of the canteen. He con-
tends that it is better to allow the
enlisted men to have the privilege Of
drinking beer and light wines. 1t is
claimed at the war department that
the canteen has been succeeded by
low dives just outside the army posts,
into which soldiers are lured by un-
principled men and dissolute women,
with the result that they are usually
kept there until their last cent Is
gone.

CALLS OUT ENTIRE GUARD
Gov Stone, of Pennsylvania, Says He VIII
Furnish Protection to Miners
Who Want to Work.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. Gov. Stone
late last night ordered out the en-
tire division of the national guard
of Pennsylvania to duty in the an
thracite coal region. The call brings
out nine regiments and two batter
les in addition to the regiments now
on duty in the mining districts. The
call says: I'm certain portions of the
counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Car
bon, Lackawanna, Susquehanna,
Northumberland and Columbia tu-
mults and riots frequently occur,
men who desire to work are beaten
and driven away and their families
threatened. Railroad trains have
been delayed, stoned and the tracks
torn up. The civil authorities are I'M
upon the governor and commander
in-chief of the national guard for
troops. The major general COM
handing will place the entire division
on duty, distributing them in such
localities as will render them most
effective for preserving the public
peace. AS tumultS, riots, mobs and
disorder usually occur when men at
tempt to work in and about the coal
mines, he will see that all men who
desire to work and their families
have ample military protection. He
will protect all trains and other prop
erty from unlawful interference and
Will arrest all persons engaging in
acts of violence and intimidation and
hold them under guard until their re
lease will not endanger public peace,
will see that threats, intimidations,
assaults and all acts of violence cease
at once

No Family Should Be Without 1t.
nERUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
= the men; it is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments OF
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success
has been in the use of Peruna in their
families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust
street, Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
>"I will tell you briefly what Peruna
has done for me. l took severe cold
which gave me a hard cough. All doc
tors medicines failed to cure it. took
one bottle of Peruna and was well.
Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. Ny
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took Peruna and now she is well.
81 cannot express my thanks in
words, but l recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for I can con-
scientiously say that there is no medi-
cine like Peruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness OF
myself and family, and they have seen
with establishment what Peruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
pie, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, 1 AMI. j. Scher-
rinsky.
Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, CAL
President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:

Peruna protects the family against

noon. On the trust question he said
he had always upheld the rights of
organized labor and he felt that CAPT.
tai also had right to combine. He
reviewed the conclusion of the min
ers of the west in refusing to go out
in sympathetic strike with the
Pennsylvania anthracite miners and
commended the course of the west
ern miners. He drew picture of

speech being delivered by Secretar.
Hay. For the rest the old soldiers
busted themselves largely in renew
ing the acquaintance of 40 years ago
and in manifesting their apprecia-
ton of the welcome extended to
them by the capital city. Of this
welcome they found generous evil
dence on every hand. The events of
the day outside the dedication cere-
monies at Camp Roosevelt included
a fine regatta on the Potomac, an
attractive automobile parade, an in
teresting procession by the Red Men
of this city and neighboring cities
and campfires in the evening. The
street exhibition given by the I'm
proved Order of Red Men was spec
tacular. They marched down Penn
sylvania avenue. from the capitol to
the white house, about $50 strong.
The organizations participating were
the nine tribes of the order in Wash
ington. Their ranks were augment
ed by the addition of number of
visitors from neighboring states.
There were several floats upon which
braves disported themselves for the
amusement of the multitude. The
members were in full uniform.
The Kansas delegation, which is
quartered at an uptown hotel, is at
tracing a great deal of attention.
The members came prepared not
only to participate in the festivities
of the encampment. but to furnish
the people with an object lesson of
what they can do in the line of agri-
culture. They brought with them a
large exhibit of pumpkins of enor-
nous size, apples, potatoes, corn and
wheat. The sidewalk surrounding
the hotel has been completely taken
up with the display, while suspended
from ropes fastened to tree boxes
are punches of ears of corn. The
sunflower also is much in evidence.
At night the veterans and their
friends were entertained by an ex-
hibition of fireworks on the Wash
ington monument grounds. The prin-
cipal scene represented was the res
cue of the diplomatic legations at
Pekin, in which 300 persons were
engaged.
