One of the most exciting incidents of
Col. Roosevelt's famous campaign trip
through the West in 1900 occurred at
Cripple Creek, Col. 1t will be recalled
by newspaper readers that some one
threw rock at him, that the thrower
was Immediately mobbed and that a
riot was narrowly averted. A few days
ago President Roosevelt received from
an admirer in Colorado the identical
rock that was thrown at him that
day 1t was, as a matter Of fact a
goodsized chunk of gold ore. which
would assay a substantial figure

ing ii to Col. Roosevelt with his com
pliments. The crowd around the vice
presidential candidate, however, was so
large and so dense that Fowler could
not work his way through it, so he hit
upon the eXpedient of tossing the piece
over the heads of the people to the
platform where Col Roosevelt was
standing. The chunk of ore was heavy
enough to have indicted a painful hurt
If it had hit a man, and IT grazed Col
Roosevelts person and fell with a clat-
ter. Fowlers intentions were misin-
terpreted. and before he could explain
several men had struck him and he
was arrested. That made him mad
and he refused to say anything After
a time, however, the facts came out.
A mine owner secured the ore and sent

Consumption-the most dreaded of all
diseases OF today-iS durable. For cent
uries this fearful malady has stared the
people in the face, with no hope, no
haven of refuge, no relief to turn to. but
now-science has made sufficient strides
to be able to cope intelligently with all
the various forms Of pulmonary affec-
tions.
Few people realize what anatomical
wonders the lungs are. Just imagine two
great sacks, one consisting of two and the
other of three lobes or compartments
each made of delicate membranous sub
stance as light and thin as piece of silk,
expanding and contracting as we inhale
and exhale the air that supplies life.
No one approaching the work expected
Of them would abuse his lungs if he
could look at them and see with his
own eyes the effect produced. The lungs
are almost like paper-mere tisSues-that
are susceptible to the least aggravation.
A cold, though ever so slight if on the
lungs, weakens them. A cough, though
only occasional, means rasping at these
precious organs, sore (reSult of colds
md coughs) means an irritation that is
lard to heal. When aggravated and it
caches an advanced stage, the lungs
ihrivel up and wither away. ConSump-
ion invariably begins in the upper part
If the right lung.
Coughing does not always accompany
diseases of this character, and consump-
ives sometimes goto theirgrave with little
annoyance in this direction and little ex-
1oCtoration. Their lungs, like an apple in
he sun, simply waste away and fall
0 pieces. If flower becomes lifeless
nd droopS its head, you give it nourish-
nent, water and sunlight. Your lungs
re just like plant, they need nourish-
lent continually. Your blood flows
trough every part of them and gives
hem life. 1t soothes and heals them,
,oeps them fresh and healthy If your
lood possesses the right nouriShm ent it
cakes your lungs so strong that germs
ant live in them, for germs only live
there there weakness. You must
ave proper medical assistance and YOU
aust also have sunlight plenty of rest,
,lenty of outdoor air and good food.
che first has always been hard to get but
ne other requirements are within the
each of anyone. There is a medicine,
famous French compound, a remedy
riginated, experimental with and agreed
pom by celebrated chemists from all
yer the world, who met in Paris few
ears ago to determine the most speedy,

This medicine is knownas Blood Wine"

Galveston is going to try an inter
esting experiment in pavement build
ing. She will pave the roadways of
some of the principal streets with shell,
and then sprinkle oil on the surface.
1t is claimed that the oil will keep
down the dust and prevent rapid wear
ing, and that when it rains sufficient
oil will be carried into the catch basins
and sewers to kill out the mosquito
larvae; thus the oil will serve the triple
purpose of abolishing dust, saving wear
and tear on the roadways, and killing
the mosquitoes. Recently one or two
railroads have been experimenting with
oil sprinkled on their roadbeds for the
purpose of keeping down dust. 1t is
said the experiments have been attend
ed with gratifying results.

Senator Jeter C. Pritchard of North
Carolina is being spoken of as a cab
met possibility. His term will expire
on March next. Since the Republi-
can party in North Carolina is not in
a position to do anything for him, it
is the opinion that the administration
will take care of him. The slate max
ers have written him down for the job
Of Secretary of Agriculture to take the
place of Mr.. Wilson. But why should
there be desire to get rid of Mr.. Will
son? He has proved himself a capable
and popular Official and has given his
department satisfactory administra-
ton. The President will not strengthen
himself with the masses by displacing
such officials as Pension Commissioner
Evans and Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to make room for less efficient
men for political reasons.

Representative Mercer of Nebraska
makes the announcement that the gov
eminent printing office, since the be-
ginning of the present session of Con-
gress, has printed for distribution 3OO,-
100000 copies of speeches delivered by
the members; and the printing office
is still running day and night. How
the American people are afflicted! And
with what patience do they bear with
their tormentors! Three hundred mil
lion congressional speeches is four
apiece for every man, woman and child
in the United States. and the presses
are still grinding out more speeches.
And this enormous mass of matter is
to be carried through the mails under
the franks of the members; that is, at
the expense of the taxpayers.
