President Roosevelt gets shaved
every day. A young colored man
named Delaney, who is a messenger
at the White House. is the Presidents
barber. He is from Alexandria. Va,
and was In the government service
for some time before he was assigned
to the White House to attend to the
Presidents head and face and to per-
form the duties OF messenger. In the
cabinet room is folding BARRIERS
chair, which. when not in use, is
placed against the wall and remains
unobserved. The President sits in
this and Is shaved In the cabinet room.
Delaney folds the chair and puts 1t
away when he gets through. The
work is quickly done. as the Presi-
dent apparently begrudges the time
taken. and wants to be up and doing
something. President Mckinley al
ways shaved himself, using either a
safety or regular razor.

r.n.m. u.,. Bring Peace.

According to s. p. Bogran. son Of
the late President Bogras OF Hondu-
ras. the republic is enjoying greater
prosperity than for many years past
simply because Panama hats are in
fashion. Honduras and the State OF
Panama are the only two countries
where Panama hats are made. and the
revolution in Colombia has kept peo-
pie in Panama too busy to be manu-
featuring hats. So Honduras has
plenty OF business in this line.
The Honduras government has
found the new industry SO advanta-
geous that 1t is giving It every encour-
agement and extending special privi-
leges and exceptions from taxation to
the factories manufacturing Panama
hats.
As long as the fashion keeps up
Honduras will be prosperous, says Mr..
Bogran, and the prosperity thus as
sured has done much to give the coun-
try peace.

about seven years. stalked solemnly
up and down with an old high silk hat
Of his fathers perched on his curly

mother said:

"Oh. this IL the Garden OF Eden."

But what on earth Is George doing
with his fathers hat on?" questioned
the mother. too well accustomed to

at anything. But even her composure
was shaken when. with n most solemn

1 Feel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworkcd women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, so
common and so discouraging, We earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs In such way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Nd, will send you for the asking, will con.
vince anyone Of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from the
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from ST. Jacobs

University of Michigan will be the only
one of its kind In the world, excepting
that of Denny & Dunbarton of Scot

wide and 10 feet deep.
The principal investigation for which
1t is designed will be Of two kinds
those connected with the models OF
various styles of vessels and those re-
lating to propellers. Although pri-
marily for marine purposes. the tank
will prove valuable adjunct to the
