not have heard of Re-Go Tonic Laxative

it is as pleasant to take as figs are to eat

when congress met in December he
forwarded his resignation to Wash
ington, but it was never acted on.
The deceased was a native of Phil
adelphia, where he was born in 1923
When he was five years of age a
playfellow accidentally struck him III
the left eye with a piece of glass.
For two years he was confined to a
dark room under medical treatment
and when he came out one of his
eyes was entirely blind and little
sight was left in the other. He, how
ever, pursued his studies at school
and college for about 20 years, the
sight growing DINNER until gradual
ly he became totally blind.
In the spring of 1888 he went with
his fathers family to Jacksonville
ILL.,, and in 1843 he became travel
ing preacher of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, serving charges in va
rious sections of the country.
Mr.. Milburn was twice elected
chaplain of congress, the first time
in 1845, when a little over % years OF
age, was twice chaplain of the house
of representatives and lastly chap
lain of the senate, to which Office he
was elected in 1898.
While serving charge at Mobile
Ala, Mr. Milburn underwent a trial
for heretical teachings. He was wide
ly known as the blind preacher and
lecturer, his ministry and lecture
field covering many parts of the
United States and Canada and OF
Great Britain and Ireland. He also
was known as an author.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow ard healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
! For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

Buffalo. N. Y, April 1.-THE evil
dence given Friday at the inquest in
to the deaths of Arthur r. Pennell
and Mrs. Pennell, before Justice
Murphy, will not help the authorities
in any way to a solution of the Bur-
dick murder mystery. Whether the
tragedy at Genres stone quarry on
March 10, in which Pennell was killed
and Mrs. Pennell was fatally injured
was due to accident or design, was
not proven.
Judge Murphy delivered his yer.
dict as follows: 81 find and ccr-
tify that Arthur R. Pencil came to
his death on the 10th day of March
1908, as result of injuries received
while riding in an automobile, the
said automobile plunging from an
embankment into the Genres stone
quarry.
''That I cannot determine from the
evidence submitted whether such
plunge was accidental or designed.
''That Carrie Lamb Pencil came to
her death as a result of said plunge
of the automobile into the quarry"

The striking feature of the market to-day is the afJnorrnally low prices or many of the best railroad securities, not a few of which are selling on 3 per cent above basis, writes Banker Clews. Encouraging railroad reports are completely ignored, although the. railroad situation continues eminently satisfactory. There is no prospect Of reduced dividends in event of business reaction, because the roads have spent sa freely for bettermeEfts out of earn ings that they retain large margins Tor economy. Of course, the present low price of good railroad stocks is ex- ulained by the, fact that rich men have been compelled to sell their best se- ct1rities in order to protect the; poor ones. which they unfortunately ac- ouired through underwrfting subserfp- tions. The ordinary investment de-
 mand is therefore more than satisfied, the rich as a rule not being able to iu- crease their holdings. while the mar gina1 buyer is wisely cautious even or bargains. As confidence returns and national savings increase. these better arside securities will advance. and we are not unlikely to see a rising sroek market even when general trade IS dull, simply because these values are again seeking their normal level

tail making 1t an easy matter to distin- guish him. A few days later the hairless part of the appendage had disappeared, and he was simply short-tailed chip munk, and as far as could see, none the worse for the abbreviation. How ever, my conscience pricked me for being the cause of his loss, so I have kept my eye on the little fellow, and now and then have had a chance to do him good turn to even things up bit.
 Not long ago discovered new chip xnunk burrow, about a quarter of mile from the one near the pond, and was interested to find that my striped friend with the short tail was the owner of it. The doorway of the dwelling is under stump, and in front of it curls a large root which served him for a seat and table at the same time.
 The burrow itself runs almost directly downward for two or three feet, and then winds about, around stones and rootss for several feet more. That is, the main tun- nel does, but from this run several short CT burrows, which are used by my little friend as store-rooms He now spends most of his time carrying into them such foods as will keep, that he may not go hungry in the winter.
 A few days ago called and he was out, but on the big root near his door lay large heap of chopped apples, some of which had been cut so recently that de- termined to sit down and wait Five, minutes passed, and then came pat tering of small feet in the leaves. and home romped my chipmunk, his bob tail in the air, and small, yellow apple in his mouth. He sat up on the root, and attacked the apple with his teeth. Piece after piece he bit off and dropped to the ground to swell the pile already there, but when he reached the core he did not
 go so fast. The seeds were what he was after, and these he deliberately stuffed
 into his cheek pouches until he had them
 all, and then he whisked into the burrow to add them to his winter store. Seeds of grasses, too, he harvests at this time. as we'll as wheat and other grains. Later he will carry in nuts of various kinds, filling his cheek pouches so full that his
 face can scarcely be recognized.
 Like other chipmunks, he probably aims at storing no particular amount of food; he will simply keep at it until the weather becomes too cold for his com fort Then he will stop and retire to his burrow, to appear again on warm days during the Indian summer. But when the cold weather sets in to stay, he will go inside, plug the mouth of the burrow | with soil and leaves, and we shall see | nothing of him until the latter part of February or the early part of March,
 when the first warm days will probably induce him to come out for breath of | fresh air and touch of sunlight on the leo side of stump or stone wall. ERNEST HAROLD HAYNES.

There is considerable comment heard in Washington over the charges recently made by Colonel Henry Wat terson, in the Louisville Courier.Jour, nal, that the reason the Panama canal bill was allowed to take the place of the house bill, which declared for the Nicaragua canal, was that the senate was corrupted. There is no doubt in the minds of people who have been watching the game from start to finish but that Colonel Watterson has the right SOW by the ear, but be does not explain the details of how she was caught.

Last fall I met a chipmunk in the woods. The sun had set, the sounds or the day were gradually becoming SUD- dued, and was sitting on a rock near a lake, waiting for darkness. Down along the shore, two night herons were quietly feeding, and beited kingfsher was watching the water from his percn on the ridge-pole of an old boathouse. Soon became aware of another sound, low,. but distinct; the busy little sound made by sharp squirrel-teeth scraplng on the hard shell of hickoTy-nuI. i moved my head slowly, and there on fiat stone quite near me sat chipmunk, busy as the proverbial bee, but not too busy to keep one of her eyes fixed care fully on me.
 She rested on her launches, and in her neat little hands she held a nut, doubt less a last 'ebite'' before she retired to bed. Near her on the stone lay the empty shells of several other nuts which she had probably eaten earlier in the evening. Presently she finished her meal, after which she carefully washed her face with her front paws, took few quick turns from side to side of the stone she had been sitting on, and then whisked into a hole near the root of tree.
 On many other evenings later, saw this graceful little creature eating her supper, and making her toilet before going to bed, and after a few disappoint- ments on my part was allowed to sit very close to her particular rock. without her showing signs of alarm. In Novem- Der she went indoors to stay, and did not see her again until the spring, when one afternoon came upon her near her burrow, surrounded by a family of little ones. I was anxious to examine one of these youngsters, SC ran quickly up, and as they scurried away ! attemptsd sd to catch one. Unfortunately, all I man. aged to take hold of was the tip of the tail, and as the skin of that member is extremely brittle, some two inches of fur was left in my hand. However, the loss did not seem to affect his spirits at all. for next day, from hiding -place, I saw him playing gayiy enough with his brethren, an inch and half of hairless
