MAKERS OF THE NEW CONGRESS

4 rancher came up to Washington
from the southwest last session to see
congress at work. Delegate Rodney
OF New Mexico took him to one of the
galleries in the lower house.
They sat together for an hour. Rod
ney pointed out the leaders on the
floor and explained what was going
on.
There don't seem to be any great
big men there" said the rancher.
Perhaps not" Rodney replied, but
it is a mighty coed, fair, average lot
of legislators"
II see.' said the rancher, plenty of
tableland, but no peaks"
The rancher's designation fits the
new congress, too. There is plenty of
tableland. but no peaks. The abiding
senate reassembles for the extra ses-
sion without its sum-total of ability
having been seriously disturbed by
the subtraction of the men who went
out or the addition of the men who
went in, except that in Senator Cor
man the democrats now have a tangi-
BILE head. In the house not many of
the old and prominent leaders have
been dropped. 1t is an average organ
iZation.-Collier's Weekly.

has a genuine sensation i'm the case Of
a little boy, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mcbride. DR.. Lines, the at
tending physician, says:
Scarlet Fever of a very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death and when the fever left him. he
was semi-paralyZed i'm the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
His parents tried another treatment
for a time and when l was recalled
found that he was having spells very
like Epilepsy and was very bad and
gradually growing worse. L advised
the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in
a short time the child began to i'm
prove Inside of a week the nervous
spasms or epileptic seizures ceased al
together"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DR..
Jesse l.. Lines has added his sworn
statement saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

ST. LOUIS ON TIME.

We are going 10 exploit our colonial

VaseIine.

Everybody knows the great value OF
this remedy in the household, but every
body does not know that the limitations
of it. which some second-class druggists
dishOnorably palm off on their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that il is
not a mere question of comparative value
between "VaSeline" and the limitations,
but that the limitations do not effect the
wonderful healing results of the world
renowned "NaSeline," and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this. many of the imita-
tons are harmful irritant and not safe
to use, while true Vaseline is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough Manufacture
ing Co Attention is called to their
Capsicum Vaseline. advertised in another
column.

81 Says Countess of Lons6aIe of
American Women.
The earl and countess OF Lonsdale,
just returning from a trip around the
world. stopped for a time in New York
recently. The countess is as much
interested in America as her husband,
and solned the conversation when
asked what the women of the English
aTistCcraCy thought of the duke OF
.EoxbUrgh's engagement TO May GOelet
I'VE are very glad to hear of it,
she said. Miss Goelet is well known
and well liked.
The question OF money is not talked
OF nearly as much in England as it is
in America. In fact / think that as a
rule the American girl is much more
anxious 10 get the title than the Eng
llshman is 10 get her money.
The Est OF international marriage
will never be heightened much by the
union of English girls with American
men. our girls will not nave your
men. not because they do not like the
men 81 r'uch as because they do not
like the American life. The life Of an
American woman of the upper class is
unnatural and useless compared to the
life OF the wife OF English aristocracy.
