Mr.. Sherman Of New York was the
principal opponent of Henderson three
years ago, but the candidacy of Serene

impossible for an Empire State man to
land the place.
Mr.. Sherman is one of the best pre-

Llttlefield, the "man from Maine,"

power of the speakership. Besides, he
has not always acted with his party.
He opposed the Porto Rico bill and the
Cuban reciprocity measure. and the
Republicans, If they control the next

who have been appointed speakers pro
tempore for a period of ten days. The
speaker of the First congress was Fred
erck Augustus Conrad Muhlenburg of
Pennsylvania. He was also speaker of
the Third congress.
The most distinguished of the early
speakers and the man who was often.

Clay of Kentucky. He entered the
house in the Twelfth congress after
having already served short periods in
the senate. He was chosen speaker on
the first day of his appearance as a
member Of the house and Is the only
man who never sat in that body ex-

crosses.
The next oftenest was Andrew Ste.

four times, resigning the last time to

THE BLOOD.

The blood is life. We derive from
the blood life, power. beauty and rea-
son, as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body. a fresh appearance, and gener-
ally ali the abilities we possess de-
pend on that source of life. 1t is
therefore the duty of every sensible
man to keep the blood as pure and
normal as possible. Nature, in its
infinite wisdom, has given us ther-
mometer indicating the state Of the
blood, which appeals to our reason by
giving notice of it's impurity. Small
eruptions of the skin, to which we
scarcely pay any attention. headache,
ringing noises in the ears, lassitude,
sleeplessness, are generally = sign
that the blood is not in its normal
state, but is filled with noxious sub
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. II more attention
were paid to those symptoms. and
steps taken to remove them, then
many illnesses from which we suffer
would become unknown and the hui
man body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should
be paid to those warning signs, and
the blood can be purified and poison
GUS substances removed from 1t by the
use of DIR. August Koenig's Hamburg
Drops, discovered more than 90 years
ago.
