A big dose was given him while he

dose was repeated. The good effect
of the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking

This beautiful custom of putting
flowers OH the graves of dead comrades

to the world that we are not nation

forty years have passed since that
memorable struggle between the north
and south. yet we do not forget those
who saved our country, those who
saved our tag; those who made it
possible for us to be the greatest of
all the great nations of the earth.
This glorious flag under which you
fought. suffered and bled. is an en-
blem of terror in war hut beautiful
token of happiness and strength in

Carnegic's Warning against Stock
Speculation.

Andrew Carnegie, to whom Burlington
is indebted for its new library building
has written u warning against specula-
ton in the shape of u letter sent to the
editor Of the pittsburg Press. He de-
uounccs speculation in stocks as gambling
ana calls It's winning ill-gotten gains.
His warning follows.
Buying shares upon a margin. called
speculation is, In its essence, gambling.
1t is immoral because the aim is to set
something for nothing.
Spueculation is the parasite OF business,
feeding upon values, creating none. 1t
carries Its own punishment. If the gambler
win, his winnings are il-gOtten gain, If
he lose, he probably robs his family and
dependents.
TO those who arc reported to have lost
in gambling. ! express the opinion that
il is better that they have lost than won,
provided they resolve TO gamble no more.
TO those who have won l would say,
wealth 50 obtained can bring no blessing.
Tho spirit Of speculation throughout the
cities of our land is the saddest of re
cent Developments
! hope our good old city of Pittsburg
Will recover ITS former reputation as a
solid, conservative, honest, hard working
community.
our manufacturers should return to tho
making OF IRON, steel glass, coke, mining
of coal. etc, and give up the making OF

While Kriss Kringle may have followed
the prevailing fad and substituted an
automobile for his traditional rendeers
that would constitute no good reason why
he should lose his interest in all four
footed animals. Indeed that good old
gentleman, who usually makes his pres

den as an expression of his appreciation
Of the faithful service performed by his
horned steeds through all the centuries
preceding this prosac age of roindeerless

Mr.. Rooscvelt's Political Discretion.

The discovery was long ago made by
certain men of political prominence in
New York that Theodore Roosevelt was
no amateur in politics, although com
para lively young in years and since he
went to Washington they have had no
reason TO revise their opinions. Political
schemers have pushed him back and push
ed him ahead in a vain cndeavor to crush
him, but he has invariably made progress
in spite of their opposition and even BIZ
ter antagonism. In his struggles against
New York politicians, against the trusts
and their allies, against those republican
leaders who sought to foist other presi-
Dental aspirants on tho party. and more
recently against tho most powerful polit-
ical Industrial and financial combination
this country has ever seen, he has in
variably proved the winner
Now, when the democrats in Congress
thought they had the President on the hip,
the democratic legislatures Of Southern
States rise up and demand in effect that
their senators endorse his canal policy
and he undoubtedly knew how his policy
would he received il the South when he
and his cabinet decided on the course OF
action taken in connection with the Pan
anna canal project.
The friends and admirers OF President
Roosevelt VIII also be reassured by his an
uounced determination not to talk politics
or TO take part in the discussion OF any
political situation that may arise in any
Of the States Political students Will
readily recall the effect Of the Folger in
cident in New York. and praise Presiden;
Roosevelt Tor mis- decision not TO be-
come eutaugied in any political contro-
versy, not even ia his own State. SO fai
as Mr.. Roosevelt IS concerned every State
