Many Millions for War.

The United States, although regarded
us one of the most peaceful nations of the
world, spent many millions for war ex-
penses during the past century. People
throughout the country are also spending
large sums of money in a vain search for
a medicine that will absolutely cure indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness, 1atulency and nervousness. There
is only one such medicine, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t is a
household remedy, backed by thousands
of testimonials. If you have wasted

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our darlinj
baby, Helen Agatha, died August 2Otl
1901, aged months and % days.
Close the door lightly,
Bride the breath
Our little earth angel
Is talking with death.
Gently he woos her,
We want her to stay;
His arm is about her
He bears her away.
Music comes floating
Down from the dome;
Angels are chanting
The sweet welcome home.
Come, stricken weeper
Come to the he'd,
Gaze on the sleeper
Helen is dead.
Smooth out the ringlets,
Close the blue eyes;
No wonder such beauty
Was claimed in the skies.
Cross the hands gently,
Ger the white breast;
So like wild spirit
Strayed from the blest.
Bear her out softly,
Dear baby of ours;
Let her grave slumber,
Rest mid the sweet flowers.

1t is sad. but true, dear father,
We had to pass this Christmas without

And not to hear gentle Christmas gift.
God alone knows how we miss you.

How for thee our hearts are yearning,
How we long thy voice to hear.

And thy footstep no longer heard;
But Voice seems sweetly saying:
Courage, we shall meet again.

A Remarkable Old Lady,

CURVE, TENNESSEE, Dec. 30.-One of
the most remarkable old ladies the writer
has ever known died at this place recently
She was born within a mile of the public
square of the City of Nashville. the place
at that time being farm. The City is
now built solidly several miles beyond
that spot. This old lady was born i'll
1906 or 1908 and lived there until she
was married about the age of seventeen.
When the mother of two small children,
she was one morning preparing break
fast. Her husband went out, as she sup
posed to feed and never returned. Some
time after this she moved to within
two miles Of Curve and purchased little
farm of twenty acres of land together
with log cabin where she lived and
raised her two children, both girls. They
married and both died leaving four chill
drcn, which the old lady raised. The
last ten or eleven years she has lived there
I'll :llonc in this out-of-way place farm
ing her land in a peculiar way. The
iroon had to be just right for her to plant
hSr potatoes, or at a certain age TO plant
har Germ. No matter what the weather
might be, she attended TO her hogs,
CA lie, sheep and chickens and spent her
rainy DAYS carding wool, spinning
t'rcad and knitting socks. She remained
there until few days ago, when one of
iie- granddauShtcrs hearing other illness,
sent for her The old lady refused to. go
rleCerirg to live alone. This was not
caused through i'll feeling. but more a
spirit of independence She never owned
q cooking stove nor a kerosene lamp.
Her place for preparing food was over
an oid-iashloned fireplace and her light
was the candle or saucer ofgreasc with
Il rag in it. Some OF her cooking vessels
she had used for sixty years and the sheet
on which she died had her husbands
name worked on it She had had it for
over seventy years. She never applied
for divorce or said a word about re-
marrying. She never wore piece offlannel
Iii her life, though the frost of many
winters had painted her hair as white as
tbs driven snow and the cares of many
years with its SORROWS had furrowed her
brow, yet there was never n more cheerful
creature than she. She was q member
of the 'Primative Baptist Church and,
when able to go, was always at her post
She had an awful horror of physicians
and debt. She kept her herbs for cases
OF sickness and delighted to wait upon
IN ailing neighbor or do Fl iendly turn,
but VIXEN that was done she was of to
her little hut pIeferring to live there all
alone. n. J. H.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The first
| notes Of the contest between the
| Nicaragua and Panama routes were
heard in the senate. Senator Morgan
! offered and secured the adoption of a
resolution which indicated his pur-
| pose to have the committee on inter
oceanic canals inquire into the rela-
| lions alleged to exist between the
ltrans-cOntinental railroad companies
of the United States and Canada and
the Panama canal company In ex-
PLANTATION he declared that the alleged
relations were a wicked monopoly
which already had cost the people of
the Pacific coast millions of dollars
The relation involves the control by
the Panama canal company Of the
Panama railroad company and an
agreement existing between certain
railroads of the United States and the
Pacific Mail Steamship company.
Owe 800 bills and joint resolutions
were introduced. Among these was
one for a postoffice building in New
York, appropriating $2,50O,0OO; one
for memorial arch in honor of the
late President Mckinley, and one ap-
propriating S3,300,000 for buildings for
the departments of state and justice.
At the conclusion Of business the
senate paid a graceful compliment to
Senator Foraker Of Ohio, by adjourn
ing in order that the senators might
attend the marriage of Miss Foraker.
The debate on the Nicaragua bill
in the house opened in lively fashion
by Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mission, which reported the bill For
over two hours he held the floor. re-
plying to a volley of questions con-
corning the recent offer of the Panama
canal company to sell its property and
franchises to the United States for
100000 Interest in the debate
conferred almost entirely in this new
phase of the subject. Mr. Hepburn
maintained that the alleged new Of
fer OF the Panama company was part
of plan of delay. All his utterances
along that line were literally ap-
plauded. He pointed out what he
claimed was a suspicious circumstance
that the Panama company held out for
S109, 900, 900 until it was decided before |
the holiday recess to consider the |
Nicaragua bill and then suddenly |
dropped the price to 100000. Mr.. !
Hepburn pointed out the advantages |
Of the Nicaragua route for sailing YES
sells On account of the better winds |
prevailing, contending that it was a |
TO suppose the sailing ship |
was destined to disappear from the |
ocean. Where the Panama route
was located sailing ships sometimes |
lay five months in the doldrums. When
Mr.. Hepburn said he had hoped that
the proposed waterway would be free
Of charge TO American ships there was
an outburst Of applause on the repub-

polled 102 against ITO votes. At each
dwindled until Mr. Cannon Ull), uR-
der whose leadership the fight was
made, was unable to get ayes and
noes on a motion to re-commit All
other amendments failed and the bill
passed exactly as it came from the
committee. The bill authorizes the
president to secure from the states of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in behalf
OF the United States, the control Of
such portion of territory belonging
TO SAID states as may be desirable
and necessary in which to excayate,
construct, and operate a canal suit
able TO the wants of modern naviga-
ton and commerce, and appropriates
such sum as may be necessary to
secure control of said territory. See
ton authorizes the president, after
securing control of the needed ter
ritory, to direct the secretary of war
to construct such canal from the Car
ibbean sea at point near Greytown,
Nicaragua, by way of Lake Nicaragua,
to a point on the Pacific ocean near
Brito, and also to construct proper
harbors at the terminii of said canal,
and make necessary provisions for
| the defense of the canal and harbors-
| Sections 8 and 4, authorize the
| president to make such survey as may
| be necessary and employ such per
sons in constructing the canal as
may to him seem wise, and directs
| that in the construction of the canal
the San Juan river and Lake Nicara-
| qua shall be used as far as they are
available. Section 5 authorizes him
| to guarantee to the states of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua the use of the
canal and harbors, upon terms to be
| agreed upon, for all vessels owned by
said states and citizens thereof. The
last section makes a present appro-
priation of $4,000, 600 to carry on this
work and authorizes the secretary of
war to enter into proper contracts for
material and work as may be deemed
Necessary therefor, such work aud
material to be paid for as appropria-
lions may be made from time TO
time. The section fixes the aggre-
gate cost at $1S0,000000 to be drawn
on the treasury on warrants from the
president.
