Mr.. Baker Tells How He Was
Cured by Barosma.

Pleasantville, Pa, Dec. 10, 1897.
Six years ago last fall I was great
sufferer from sciatic rheumatism,
starting in my kidneys and running
down my thigh, disabling me for any
kind of work, and was compelled to
walk with a cane to relieve my pain.
I heard of some of the wonderful
cures made by Thompson's Barosma
and I bought bottle, and to my de-
light, the second dose seemed to act
upon my kidneys ut once, and the pain
began to leave, running down the
sciatic nerve of my leg and so on out OF
my system. In one week after | com.

NELLIE CRAVEY GILMORE
Copy right, 1902, by T. G. Mcclure

Margaret Kelton folded the Times
mechanically and laid it on the table
beside her. For some time she sat in
deep thought. Then she reopened the
paper and studied the paragraph more
closely, with a vague hope that she
had made some mistake. But hardly.
She read:
MIR. Richard Kent Kelton, formerly
popular in this city in business and So
cial circles, now resident of Phila-
delphia, is spending the cold months In
Florida for the benefit of his wife's
health"
The problem of her life confronted
her. or rather, the scruple. She had
never been greatly in love with the
man, nor yet especially antipathetic
toward him. Hence it was no easy
thing to do what she was forced to
contemplate. But there was the other.
woman. Palpably the finger of duty
pointed but one way.
Two days were required to put her
affairs into shape and to prepare for
the journey south.
There was no difficulty about the
exact location. She had often been
there in the past-with him, before the
separation five years ago, he to live
his life, she her own. There was never
the semblance of quarrel. She could
almost have wished there had been
anything, all things. but what was.
Margaret found herself overwhelmed
by tumult of emotions as she sat
in the familiar old fashioned parlor
where so many of her old days had
been spent. There was very little
change beyond the few trifiing effects
wrought by the touch of a new individ-
uality.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1.-THE gem
eral missionary committee of the Meth
odist church, north, met in Omaha to-
day to review the work of the last year
and to discuss plans for the future.
The committee is composed of the
bishops of the church, the officers of
the missionary society and fourteen
representatives, each of the general
conference and the board of managers
of the missionary society.
Reports to be presented to the meet
ing shows the past year to have been
the most successful. financially
through which the society has passed
since it's organization in 1928. The in
crease in missionary contributions dur
ing the year over those of the previous
year was more than $150000, a show
ing that is regarded as remarkable, in
view of the fact that the receipts of
the last fiscal year were $4,000 ahead
Of those of two years ago. The in
creases of the past few years are cred
fted to the educational policy of the So
ciety, which Systematically aims to in
terest all Methodists in the mission
cause, and also to the work of the
Open Door Emergency Commission
which led in the forward movement for
missions.

The other Hank Monk relic which
will attract even more attention is the
same old stage coach in which Horace
Greeley took the famous ride. Mr..
Warrington was able to secure this and
it will be taken to the worlds fair and
will be used as the coach of state by
the Nevada officials. When distin-
guished guests reach st. Louis the old
coach, with a driver of the pioneer day
in typical costume, will be at Union
Station and convey them to the official
Nevada home at the worlds fair
grounds. Then every day the old coach
may be seen dashing down the steep
hill from the plateau of states, to the
mining gulch, where will be construct
ed a typical California mining camp of
the Forty-nine days. This trip will be
made Just as it was many years ago
when the gold dust was daily taken
from the mines to a place of safety
Mr.. Warrington says that Mark
Twain is almost worshipped out in
Carson City. While he was known
only by the name of Sam Clemens the
author was a resident of Carson and
was employed in reportorial capacity
on a paper in Carson owned by Mr..
Yerrington's father. Much of the ma
terial for "Roughing 1t" was gathered
in Nevada before fortune smiled on the
great humorist.

HANK MONKS FAMOUS DRIVE
Horace Greeley's Stage Coach Ride
vividly Recalled

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11.-Hank Monk,
the stage driver of the pioneer days IN
the far west, was immortalized by
Mark Twain in his "Roughing It." The
stage coach in which Hank Monk got
Horace Greeley to Placerville 'on
time" and the gold watch that was
presented to the intrepid Jehu because
of his record breaking trip Will be
among the interesting curios at the
worlds fair, ST Louis in 1904
Mr.. J. A. Warrington. of Carson City,
NeVada's exec Jtive commissioner TO the
worlds fair, was in St. Louis few
days ago and told Charlie M. Reeves,
secretary of the states and territorial
exhibits committee that Nevada would
exhibit among other interesting things,
these famous Hank Monk relies.
Hank Monk; as will be remembered
by everyone who has read Mark
Twain's first famous book, "Roughing
It, was the driven who was in charge
of the stage that carried Horace Gree
ley into Placerville one evening in the
latter sixties. Mr.. Greeley was booked
to deliver an address i'm that mining
village at O'Clock. The "trip was tedi-
Gus and the great editor began to fear
that he would not reach Placerville in
time to keep his engagement. He
leaned out of the stage window and
asked the driver. Hank Monk. If he
could not entice a little more speed
from the horses.
n n
and replied:
Keep, your seat, Horace, I'll get you
there on time"
How Hank Monk kept his word is
graphically recorded by Mr.. Clemens.
Probably no trip over the mountains
was ever made at such break neck
speed. The distinguished passenger
was tossed around in the bounding
stage coach like corn in a pepper and
there were those who declared that
Mr. GreeIey's head was forced through
the roof.
The trip was the topic of the entire
coast country and some admirers of the
celebrated driver bought him a hand
some gold watch. Inside the case APP
pears this inscription:
= Presented to Hank Monk in COM
memoration of his celebrated drive in
landing Horace Greeley on time

you there on, time"
At the time of the Greeley eide Hank
Monk was in the employ of Dr. ]. NJ
Benton, of Carson City. Monk and
Benton were close friends and wher
this old stage driver died the famous
watch passed into the possession OF
Dr. Benton. Hank Monk was buried
in the cemetery at Carson City. A

 Coach is derived from the French coche, dininutive form of the Latin conchula, a shell, in which shape the body of such conyeyances was originally fashioned. Seldom. if ever, is the full term omnibus" applied to those heavy, numbering vechicles found in so many large cities. With the characteristic brevity of English-speaking races the title has been changed to "bus."
 These were first seen in Paris in 1927. and the original name of omnibus is derived from the fact that it first ap- peared on the sides of each conveyance being nothing moro than the Latin word signifying flor all.'
 Cab" is an abbreviation of the Italian word cabriola, which was changed to cabriolet to French. Both words have a common derivative- misunderstanding goats leap. The exact reason for giving it this strange appellation is unknown, unless because of the lightness and springiness of the vehicle in it's original form.

4 CHANGE FOE THEM HERE.

Following the lead of Italy, the Ger man office of heraldry has declared war on all those who use titles of nobility without proper authority, even against such as wrongfully use the prefix won" Among the latter, however, is a class which cannot be touched, for the law provides that any one who has used the prefix for forty-four years shall not be deprived of it.
 This will, of course. seem harsh to those Germans who want to sport a title without real right. If worst comes to worst they can emigrate to this hos pitable country and call themselves what they please. We like titles here, and we are not very particular about their quality. In a country swarming with Judges, Colonels and Generals a few Counts and things would make an agreeable variation, and perhaps they might also lead to pleasing imitation. Let the ill-treated Germans come hither and show us how to put on more airs than we now do.

PRoTECyIoN IN ENGLAND.

The talk of high Englishmen in favor of a protective tariff for their country Is interesting and perhaps important. Premier Balfour seems to have been won over to the plan lately announced by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain providing for tariff wall around all the federated states of the empire. Un- der this system England would put tariff duties on imports entering from foreign lands but would give preferen- tial rates to its colonies. Merchandise entering England from the United States or from Germany would pay du- ties. Merchandise from Australia, Canada and South Africa would enter at rates which would give tn" produc- CTS in those colonies impor ant advan- tages :n the English marker.
 At present it does not seem that this plan can be popular in England, If a tariff is to be imposed with view to encouraging colonial imports at the ex- pense of other nations that tariff must be placed on either raw materials or foodstuffs. As MT. Chamberlain points out, the tariff on raw materials is iln- practicable. The tax must therefore fall on England's food supply. How this is likely to strike the honest Eng fish workingman is indicated by the fact that of fifteen hundred delegates representing the Cooperative socie- ties of the United Kingdom, in an- nual session at Doncaster, only three were found to vote against a resolu- ton protesting against any "tampering with the free trade policy'' of Great Britain "by preferential tariffs" These delegates represent the lower middle classes of the urban electorates, in the main probably artisans by occupation.
