Touse an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an ''o'er true tale" Having
happened in small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902, it is a story very
much of the present. Up to short

Melfa Station, Va. had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative proper
ties of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

feared she would have pneumonia, but

remedy had cured her little boy and I
began giving it to my baby at once and
it soon cured her. / heartily thank the

The President is reported to be angry
with Senator Carmack because of the
latter's utterances on Philippine and
Indianola matters. He has a perfect
right to be angry with him if it suits
him to be so, but he goes beyond the
powers of his Office when he threatens
retaliation in the matters of appoint
ments. Mr.. Carmack is a representa-
tive of sovereign State, and his duty
to his State and to the United States
requires that he make suggestions rela-
tive to appointments in which his con-
stituents are interested. The Presi-
dents dislike of the Senator cannot
equitably be visited upon applicants for
place or invoked in any way to mega
tive the Senator's usefulness.-Nash-

The Habit of necision.

The great ching in all education is
to make our nervous system our ally
instead of our enemy. 1t is to fund
and capitalize our acquisitions and live
at ease upon the interest of the fund.
For this we must make automatic and
habitual as early as possible as many
useful actions as we can and guard
against the growing into ways that
are likely to be disadavantageous to
us as we should guard against the
plague. The more Of the details of
our daily life we can hand over to the
efortless custody of automatonism
the more Of our higher powers of mind
will be set free for their own proper
work. There is no more miserable hu-
man being than one in whom nothing
is habitual but indecision and for
whom the drinking q every cup, the
time of rising and going to bed every
day and the beginning of every bit of
work are subjects Of express volitional
deliberation. Full half the time of
such man goes to the deciding or re-
GREETING Of matters which ought to be
SO ingrained in him as practically not
to exist for his consciousness at all.
IL there be such daily duties yet not
ingrained in any one of my readers,
let him begin this very hour to set the
matter right.-From Psychology" by
Professor William James.

CASTRO WILL NOT GIVE IN.


NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-The Herald's Car

tro as saying in the course of an inter-
view: "As far as 1 can see, the French
claim is absolutely perfect. yet the block
aiding powers seem to desire to invalidate
1t. This is a strange procedure. indeed,
when you recall that the French. Belgian
and Spanish claims already have that SOL

pretend to be DESTROYS their own should
receive. Eyes. / am hopeful; yes. always
hopeful. Mr.. Bowen has cabed me to be
prudent and patient. 1 shall be both, and
We will exhaust all peaceful means, with
the understanding that when that has been
done we will not give in, but will fight.
I'VE have concluded that If there is no
honor among nations nor virtue in inter-
national agreements. we must defend our

take possession of Trinidad and other ad-

lions have started and have made Ven
