COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN UP.

lowing story:
For years had an aching pain in
my back which troubledme very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable
Il did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kid

Il can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.

Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is highly respected

day. Taking his lunch with him,
slowed away in a well-worn yellow
gripsack, reminiscent of the days
when he used to campaign for con-
gress up in Maine, he sat all day long
in class in higher electricity. drink
ing in the technical terms with much
gusto, and wound up by reading his
essay from a pink manuscript.
Mr.. Reed appeared as counsel for the
Stanley Electrical company, of Pitts
field, Mass. The Westinghouse COM
pany asked an injunction to prevent
the Stanley people from an alleged in
fringement on an electric motor pat
ented by Nikola Tesla. Millions hinge
on the result of the case. the future
of the Stanley company, which is now
employing 1900 men in Pittsfeld, de-
pending upon what is done in the case.
The big display of electrical machin-
cry which filled the courtroom was
there to demonstrate that the Stanley
motor is different from that of Tesla.
When the court adjourned for re-
cess Mr.. Reed took his big Maine grip
sack and, calling his friend, William
c. Whitney, went back to the last
bench of the courtroom. He opened
the big grip and exhibited luncheon
thatfTould have delighted stevedore.
There were big, brown. fashioned
biscuits, sliced open and filled with
ham and chicken. Like two school
boys the big ex-speaker and his friend
dived into. the sandwiches and between
mouthfuls the big Maine man told fun

POLITICAL DRIFT.

The Ohio republicans are har-
monious; but none of the harmony is
genuine without Mark Hanna's sigma
.ture on the label.-Albany~ Argus.
Secretary Root cannot forgive
Miles, of course. The revelations of
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines have put the secretary's CORE
spondence with Miles in a ridiculous
light.-Indianpoli News Qnd.).
President Roosevelt knows too
much about politics to lay much stress
on anything complimentary to him
in the resolutions of the Ohio republic
an convention. There will be men
at Cleveland who "smile, and murder
while they smile. "-Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Statesmen who constantly quote
the late president Mckinley are max
ing the mistake of alleging private
conversation that belle his public ut
terances. The rest of the country
knows just as well as to certain re-
publican senator's that he said: 'Forc-
ible annexation is criminal aggres-
sion."-Detroit Free Press.
To the trusts, which he so strenu-
ously upholds both in and out of con-
gress, he turns for the necessary cam
align funds; to the laborers he turns
or votes. This sort of political policy
has been sometimes called by scoffers
carrying water on both shoulders.
Whether this can be done successfully
can be better known Ammo Domini 1904.
1t is not surprising that Senator
Hanna has declined to take charge of
the republican congressional cam
paign. His plea of too much work is
an excuse which many other of the old
Mckinley politicians will use during
the next few months when they are
asked to get out and hustle. As shrewd
prophets they realize that little less
than a miracle will save the republicans
during the congressional fight. Sena-
himself with a lost cause.-St. Louis
Republic.
The republican party is held to-
gether by the mutual attachment Of it's
members to system which robs the
masses in the interests of combined
capital, and it would be politictl suicide
for the republican party to NEEDLE
with present tariff rates. The tariff
must be revised by the democratic
party if it is ever to be revised at all,
and the sooner the voters get this into
their heads the sooner conditions will
be brought back to the normal and the
markets will be governed by the eco
suomic laws of supply and demand
