INTERESTINGLY PLAIN.

There is an after-light which brings
9ut facts in a simplicity of outline
resolving and dissipating all mystery
and it is this after-light which makes
plain Mr.. ROOsevelt's negro policy
dispeIling the haze of his sOphistica
explanations and showing forth his
deliberate and unvarying discrimina
ton in favor of negro candidates for
federal office.
In the retrospect Mr.. Roosevelt
course of action is seen to oe
straight. consistent expression Of a
powerful mOtive-tO curry favor with
a view to negro delegates and voters
Upon no other hypothesis is it eXpli
cable. The simple facts exclude every
other they tell their own story. As
rehearsed by Representative Richard
son the facts have Irresistible con
vincing force;
what | mean by President RoOse-
vets conduct can be comprised in
his urgent invitation to Booker Wash
ingtOn to take luncheon with him
and Waehington's acceptance of the
same; his extraordinary support OF
Doctor Crum for collector of the port
Of Charleston after mis- own repubIi-
can committee and the senate had
turned the doctor down twice, not

The Beautiful In Life.

Amid the rush, care and worry
that we meet upon the dark uneven
way Of our existence, some Of the
sweetest, tenderest things of life
are lost; but there r CLEANS of
sunshine through the clouds, and
holy is the hour, though sad, in
which we find a moment for some
sacred thought or deed.
Through the dim mysterious
mlstS between the two eternities,
the thorns and roses grow together.
From the one, there cOmeth pain
and sorrow and the disappoint-
ments Of our lives, but the other
hath a language hat doth tell of
love and hope and sacrifce-a
beauty that doth speak of God.
And when amid the thorns and
gloom, our fondest hopes decay,
and all the sweetest dreams of life
have vanished from our hearts, it
is oft that duties, born of love are
left undone. But though amid all
this, our hearts respond not to the
hearts that yearn from them un-
til a shoreless Jordan rolls between.
God reigns. and we many regain
once more all of life's beauties
that are lost.
Glooms that we call sorrows,
thorns that pierce our hearts are
IN His wisdom sent, but never can
the heart that clings to Him, sink
in despair.
From the mists there cometh
CLEANS of sunshine, bright with
smiles of love, hope and sacrifice.
They rise from the wondrous
dawns of vast eternal years and
bring the. holy hours whose bene-
dic,ions I'LL our hearts.-Grenada
Sentinel.

Under date Of January 10, 1897, DR..
Hartman received the following letter
"My wife had been suffering from a
complication of diseases for the past 20
years.
"Her case had baffled the skill of
some of the most noted physicians.
One OF her worst troubles was chronic
constipation Of several years. standing.
"She also was passing through that
most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June,
1895, wrote to you about her case.
You advised q course of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
and have to say it completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for those
wonderful remedies.
"About the same time / wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of % years standing. At
times / was almost past going. I COM
menced to use Peruna according to your
instructions and continued its use for
about year, and it has completely
cured me.
"Your remedies do all that you claim
for them, and even more. Catarrh
cannot exist where Peruna Is taken
according to directions. Success to
you and your remedies"

Terrible Wreck Near London. Ont.

London. Ont.-A train wreck bring
ing death to over two score of persons
and terrible pain and sunering to about
40 more, occurred at 1910 o'clock at
night at Wanstead, Canada, station
ON the Sarnia branch of the Grand
Trunk, forty miles from this city, when
the Pacific express, flying westward at
the rate of so miles an hour and crowd
ed to its capacity with passengers re-
turning to their homes from holiday
visits, crashed into an east bound
freight.
The latest estimate of the fatal
ties is 30 killed and 35 more injured
The darkness of the night and the
raging of a blizzard added horrors to
the wreck. Fortunately the entire hor.
ror was averted. A fire broke out
in the day coach, but was soon smoth
cred with snow and coats which were
thrown on it before it gained any head
way.
