Desk Sergeant Culinan that her hus-

my husband has stolen my leg, and,
soh, it is such an inconvenience to do
without it. I don't want to have him

Desk Sergeant Culhnan looked sur

however, found myself the only one

at me for awhile, and then the fore

Allowances for what?' 1 asked.
Allowances for the fact that If

his gun out of the winder instead
of coming to the door, he might have

IRON-ALUM MASS.
Twelve miles from Abingdon, Va, in
Washington county, lies a wonderful
health-giving fountain, whose waters
never failed to cure the diseased and
afflicted. We heard so much Of this
wonderful disease killing water that
we sent a representative there, who
found that all that was said Of it was
true, and that it did cure all forms Of
disease. We bought the springs and
property, it costing a vast sum of
money. AS shipping the waters all over
the country cost great deal of money,
and it was our desire to avoid this
great expense, we at last, by a sys-
tenn of scientific experiments, succeed
ed in perfecting a way by which we
have been enabled 10 extract the
medicine from the water. This is done
by heat. The water is boiled in huge
caldrons, and the medicine sinks to
the bottom. The medicine Is then
dried. reduced to a powder, and put up
into tablets of six grains each. A sam

RooseveIt's Southern Policy Marked
by Political Good Sense.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
President Roosevelt is still sticking to his
declared policy of refusing to appoint unfit
men to office in the South and of appointing
Democrats if the Republicans cannot or
will not present candidates that come up
to the high standard which he demands.
There are plenty of indications that this is
pretty good politics. 1t may not help him
to win the nomination, but it will certainly
not hurt his chances with the public North
or South whose wishes the politicians know
they cannot ignore in the naming of candi-
dates. And if he is nominated he will be
likely to poll the heaviest Southern vote
that has ever been polled by a Republican
candidate, despite his hospitable enter
tainment of colored scholar and gentle
man. Even If Roosevelt does not reap the
fruits of his own independence, no policy
could be pursued that would go so far to-
ward breaking up the solidity of the solid
South. With the disappearance Of any oc-
cation for the continuance of that phe-
nomenon and with the growing unity be-
tween the industrial interests of the South
and the North it is becoming more and
more apparent that the South will not re-
main solid forever. Men do not vote
against their own interests for a principle
that has little application, and the fear of
Northern interference in the race problem
it will soon be generally realized, is the
fear Of phantom. 1t is also apparent to a
good many Southerners that a far more
effective weapon against interference by
Northern Republicans is TO be found in
working with them and in making South
ern support worth having. Such policy
would also have the advantage of gaining
more for the South in the distribution OF
the good things which Congress dispenses
through the dominant party.
Only the fixed political habit of the bet
ter element of the South. where Democ-
racy has the strength of tradition. though
no longer of reason or sound policy pre-
vents. President Roosevelt's course from
making avowed converts, if we may Judge
his policy. Only the other day he ap-
pointed two well-knoWn Democrats to the
district attorneyship and the marshalship
il, Mississippi for want OF 1T Republican
thusiasuc Endorsement from the New
Orleans Times Democrat, a paper which
ordinarily has little that was even
tOlerable in anything done by a Republican
administration. Among other things this
paper said: This determination OF Mr.
Roosevelts TO subordinate partisanship 10
patriotism touches the high-water mark of
political courage yet recorded in the his
tory OF this country" and added IF Mr..
Roosevelts administration as President
should end to-day. il would, by its South
ern policy alone, be entitled to the lasting
gratitude OF all Americans" Similar ex-
/ pressiOns are not at all uncommon in the
/ Southern press. Two years more OF this
sort Of thing and of the present demorali-
zation OF the Democratic party does seem
at this distance not at all unlikely TO bring
about alignment OF parties in the
| South.

ing on the belief that the dividend would
not be increased. Up to Jan. / Erie earn

dends, which come off Saturday. OPP

the buying of Northwestern. supposed to
be for the Vanderbilt interests, lifting the
stock nearly five points.
There was a continuation of buying in
Metropolitan, accompanied with a good

peared in Metropolitan and balance of the

while st. Paul was hammered down.
