that she cared for any sort of boy
In the flesh; on the other hand. she
detested the whole race, for they were
extremely trying to her nerves, and, for
woman of business, Miss Norton s
nerves were surprisingly self-assertive.
Perhaps Miss Norton would be offended
II she heard herself alluded to as a
woman of business, but she painted pic
lures and made a business of selling
them-and a pretty good business, too,
her purchasers were heard to declare. 1t
was as models that she used her ragged
boys, and really in this line of work Miss
Norton considered herself quite q rival
OF ]. G. Brown.
Miss Norton made a point of passing
each summer in a different locality. By
this means she not only secured diversi-
fed environment for her jaded nerves,
but procured fresh subjects of treatment
for her brush. This year she had decid-
ed on Pauwinnet, a delightfully."- situated
resort, right on the ocean, with a rocky
shore and any amount OF forest glades
stretching inland. She was thoroughly
charmed with the spot when she went
Gown to see about taking the cottage.
The only objection was the dearth of
boys.
But what am l to do for a model"
Miss Norton wanted to know when this
state of things became apparent Il must
have one. or I can't finish my Imp of
Mischief"
'I'll tell yoI what TO do" said her
brother. Write in TO the Fresh Air
Fund and say that you'll take one of
their boys fer two weeks. You'll save
model hire and enjoy the bliss of doing
q charitable act into the bargain"
A week later the boy arrived. and Miss
Norton's heart sank within her when she
saw him. He had long, meek face. with
never a freckle on 1T; wore decent suit,
with no suspicious of a tear or patch
about It; his shoes were whole, and,
above all he had a derby hat He took
of this and made very grave bow when
Miss Norton picked him up at the station.
I'm very much obliged to you, ma am"
he said, for allowing me to come here.
and / hope I'll be a good boy"
That was the worst of it. He was a
model with a vengeance, and in all those
first five days there was but one hopeful
sign. 1t was on Friday. and just before
lunch the cook came rushing into the

naturally his talk bore down pretty
hard on Secretary Root and Ajiutant
COrDln, as it is an open secret in Wash
lngton that they hope to use the bill in
question to provide promotion and
power for their pets-SOme say their
toolS-in the army. Hardly was the
committee meeting over before a report
OF what Gen. Miles had said was in the
haIds Of newspaper men representing
papers unfriendly to him, and when it
was published he was charged with in
subordination and his immediate re-
tlrement demanded. Mr. Roosevelt was
at nrst inclined to grant that demand,
but more experienced politicians told
him that if he did he might make Miles
President. Then he hesitated, and he is
still hesitating. Gen. Miles is standing
by his guns. He says he will not ask
for retirement, and that under no cir
cumStanceS will be resign. He believes
the bill in question is thoroughly vi
clous and that it is his duty to oppose
1t. Whatever the administration may
DO or not do in connection with Gen.
Miles, appearances indicate that his
talk to the committee has made it very
doubtful whether all the power of the
administration will be sufficient to get
the bill passed. Senators on the COM
mittee have expressed the opinion that
Secretary ROCt had shown when before
the committee that he did not realize
the full scope Of the bill and that they
believed he had been hoodwinked by
Gen. COTbin, who is believed to be the
real author of the bill

opened to tariff amendments. which is
possible if the Republican kickers can
make good their claim in votes when
the time comes to overrule the decis-
Ions OF the Speaker against amend

are not, however, over-confident that
the Republican kickers will stand ont
against the lashing of the party whip
that IS now being administered to them
by the bosses, not to mention hints from
the White House that those Republi-
cans who refuse to follow the bosses

aid and interest in the entertainment
of delegates during the recent State
convention. Despite the extreme in
clemency Of ,he weather, the cOnVen-

Asthma Cannot be Cured.
Prominent Say Except by Constu


This dread disease which has caused
more untold agOnies than words can
describe. has at last received its death
blow. Medical Science in recent years
has found a remedy that successfully
combats all the aggravated symptoms
due to this distressing afiiictiOn. After
many years Of patient study and re-
search, Dr. i. B. Clark. the we'll known
specialist. has discovered a positive
remedy that cures the cough, gives
Immediate relief and eradicates every
vestige of the disease. The results OBJ
tainde by the use of the remedy have
been so gratifying to Dr. Clark that H.
has been induced in the interests of
suffering humanity to place this won
derful remedy within the reach of all
astnmatics. So confident is the doctor

that his Asthma Remedy will effect 4

the Senate having by a vote Of D to y
passed the HOar bill, which in addition
to making the killing Or attempting to
kill the President, Vice-Pcesident, o.
any official in line for the Presidency, a
crime punishable by death, provides for
the detail Of a military bOGygUard.
Strange as may seem only 13 Demo-
cratic Senators voted against this bill.
The Senate today received the River
and HarbOr bill, which was passed by
the House last week without a division.
The bill carries appropriations aggre-
eating $60,000,000.
Some Of the leading Republicans Of
the country, both in ard Out Of Con-
gress. are trying to prevent such .seri-
GUS political blundcr as they think the
renewal OF a force bill fight would be
for the Republican party. 1t is under
stood that they have made 50 mUch
progress that the House bosses are in
doubt as to whether they can control
enough votes to adopt the Crumpacker
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of thirteen to in
veStigate the election laws of the States
and are discussing the adVis2bility of
some sort of a compromise deal that
will let them down easy. One of the
compromises that has been suggested is
that the resolution be adopted by unan-
imous vote Of the House and a commit
tee appointed that will make a report
that will recommend no action.
The latest trouble of Gen. Nelson A.
Miles with the administration bears all
the earmarks of a put-up-jOb. AS COM
mander of the army Gen. Miles was in
vited to appear before the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs and give his
opinion Of The bill for the creation of
staff for the army, which he was known
to oppose. The committee met behind
closed doors and with the assurance
that his personal opinions would be
considered private, Gen. Miles was in
veigIed into talking freely, IN addition
to MS carefully prepared statement Of
his official reasons for opposing the bill.

seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous

used August Flower to clean out the
