Serious Complications.

If an extraordinary session of congress is called the republicans in the senate will have to meet proposition which will certainly lead to prolonged debate, and in It's settlement, may involve serious po- lltical complications It Is the admission or rejection of Reed Shoot as senator from Utah. While MT. Shoot is not and never was a polygamist, his prominence in the Mormon church makes him per- soma non grata to an immense number of people who will be swift and energetic in their opposition to seating him, and there Is no telling what a storm 1t may succeed in raising. Many republicans are so apprehensve on the subject that they would gladly see the question postponed as long as possible, that is until the meet ing of the Fifty-eighth congress, hop ing that in the meantime something will happen to extricate them from the diff ficulty or smooth oyer the situation. The policy of the democrats in that body will be to leave Shoot and his case in the hands of the republicans and take no part in the fight. While Utah Is now re- publican, 1t is certain that Smott's re- lection would lead to political revolu- tion not only there, but in one or two states in the same section where the Mormons practically hold the balance of power.

ORIGIN OF FAMOUS HYMNS.
Stories About the Writing of Some of
 the Greatest Favorites.

Every one perhaps has his or her fa- vorite hymn, yet few know It's author and under what circumstances it was composed Hitherto there has been no good book on the subject that that de- feet is now remedied. thanks to the pa- tient industry of MT. Francis A. Jones, whose volume, Famous hymns and Their Authors" has just been published by Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton. It is full of curious and interesting informa- ton. Take the Christmas hymns, for ex- ample. "Hark. the Herald Angels sing.' when originally published by Charles Wesley in 1739 began 'Hark, how all the weklin rings" "Christians, Awake was composed by John Byron in 1745 as a carol for his little daughter, Dolly, for her and for no one else" In the original the manuscript Is headed Christmas Day For Dolly" It was first published in 1746 in Harrop's Manchester Mercury and was set to music by the organist Of the Manchester parish church. John Vain wright. While Shepherds Watched an- other carol. was written by Nahum Tate 200 years ago. The popular Abide With Me" was written by the Rev H. E. Lyte in 1874 at Brixham- He had become so i'll that he was ordered to Nice. On the Sunday evening prior to his leaving he walked by the seashore alone for half an hour after service, fully convinced that he had spoken to his congregation for the last time. When the sun had

HANNA IS THE
 LOGICAL MAN One Word from Him Would
 Hasten the Boom GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON Hanna, Quay and PIatt Can Name Next Republican Candidate and Neither of Them Ever Go to the White House.
GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
aY W. MANNING.

Washington, February 7.-(Special)- As chairman of the national repueheah committee, Senator Hanna, were he so disuosed could at any moment find hun e1reds of men in every state of the union who. with the slightesr encouragement on his part, would enthusiastically pe- gin A movement to make him the repup- lican candidate for the Presidency next wear, But thus far he has given no sleh that he cares for the office; on the coh- trarv. he has again and again declared in answer to all suggestions with re- snect to 1t that the nomination is the very last thing in his thoughts as re- publican triumph in 1904 is unquestion- ably the very first. Despite Mir Han mas reluctance to be considered can slidate there is a strong current of senh- ment in his favor, and it gathers force and volume as the weeks go by. Among his colleagues in the senate are several avowed candidates, but no one or them occupies the commanding position before the country which the great Ohioan holas or has the confidence of the masses to the same extent. He is trusted alike py the workingman and the employer as no other man in the Republican party Is trusted, while all who wish to see the policies of President Mckinley carried out in the administration believe that he and he alone can be depended upon to continue that great work and take fl up where it has been laid down. In the south, MT Hanna Is especially strong an in the coming convention will have it's solid support if he is in the field. It is by no means impossible that he will be put there whether he wills 1t ar mt

PIatt Keeps Away.

Senator Platts all but unanimous re- election to the senate Is regarded here as having a most important bearing upon. the Presidential situation as 1t will be developed next year, in fact as it is being developed now from day to day. The exceedingly small administration party does not like the overpowering strength he has shown in the party, and argue from it that he Will be equally strong with the delegation which the Empire state will send to the national convention. While MT. Patt has not mani- fested any particular hostility to the President since his inauguration neither has he been very effusve in the demon- strations of his political friendship. How does the senior senator from MT. Roose- velts own state stand with respect to him Is, therefore. a question of the leep- est interest to the Lodges and others who would like to make the warrior chief of the Rough Riders and the most accom- plshed athlete that ever sat In the ex- ecutive chair of the nation, his own sue cessor. It has not escaped attention that MT. Patt never visits the White House, and that he is apparently as indiffer- ent to what is going on there as if that establishment were in another planet. During the Mckinley regime MT. Platt called there nearly every week, and was on the cloest terms of friendship with the great Ohioan, who frequently sought his advice in critical situations. That the President has made many advances to MT. Platt is matter of common report, but they have found no encouragement from the senator who does not appar- ently wish to be in the least identified with MT. Roosevelt's sensational policies.

Not So Much Prosperity.

From the small towns and villages come reports of dissatisfaction among young men who find 1t difficult to ob- tain employment of any kind, and who are deterred from going to the big cities where the conditions are reported to be equally bad. Among small traders Lusi- ness Is not improving, notwithstanding all the roseate reports on the subject and to a greater extent than in several years economy everywhere is the ruie. The re- sponsbllity for 1t all is laid at the door of the party in power, which, 1t Is claim ed is legislating for the rich alone and not for those who have to fight to keep the wolf at a safe distance These brief ly are the main reasons on which the democrats base their hopes of success in 1904-that the masses of the people want a change in the hope of bettering things all around

Platt, Hanna. Quay-this is the trium- viate that will have more to do with the selection of Mir. Roosevelt's successor,

Roosevelt's future. Look ing through their political glasses they see the name of the Rough Rider em- blazoned all over the heavens.

 Many stories are told of the hymns of Isaac Watts. It Is said that he wrote Not All the Blood of Beasts after a visit to Smithfield market. while charming hymn There Is a Land of Pure Delight" was suggested by the view of Southampton water as seen from the Isle of Wight. He is believed to have writ ten hymns. Many are mediocre; few will last as long as the English language. Jesus. Lover of My Soul" was sug- gested to Charles Wesley by a sea bird flying to him for protection during a storm. It was one of the earliest that he wrote. A good story is told of Keble and Dr. Neale, both writers of hymns.

The growing confidence of the demo- cratic leaders in the ability of their party to carry the next Presidential elec- ton is one of the noteworthy phases of the political situation here at the present time. q think we will win next year with the right candidate and the right platform" is the almost invariable answer of everyone of them 10 a ques- tion on the subject. Pressed for the grounds of their belief and hope, many of them are free enough to talk. First of all they assert that their faith Is founded on information given in letters from their constituents, republicans as well as democrats. The former express dissatisfaction with their party on many accounts, chief of which is It's failure to do anything in the way of revising the tariff. thereby enabling nearly every one of the great manufacturing trusts and corporations to sell thei' products all over the world at a far lower price than they charge for them at home. This Is the special grievance of the farmers, who think they are being robbed for the They do not see that high tariff Is any benefit whatever to them.

As chief of the new department or com- merce. George Cortelyou will have far less to do than in the office of private secretary to the President. The latter position Is no sinecure indeed, the man who holds 1t. has to work harder and longer than any other official In Wash ington or in the entire government serv- ico. He Is constantly at the beck and coll of the President, and when the temperament of MT. Roosevelt Is taken ,rhat that sort of servitude means. Cor telvou Is deservedly popular and con- gratulations pour in upon him from thousands of persons who have been brought in contact with him officially and otherwise. But. at the same time, no one can see what special qualifications or experience he possesses for the conn mand of the department or commerce He is an accomplished shorthand writer. but his knowledge of trade and com merce is an unknown quantity,

Hanna An Absentee.

Senator Hanna is another one whose calls at the White House are like the proverbial visits of the angels. As chair man of the national committee the Ohio Warwick would naturally be supposed to have a good deal of business with the President, but the boycott he seems to have established against the execu- tive office indicates that he has none to transact in that quarter. It will be remembered that at the recent Ohio so- ciety dinner in New York to Secretary Hay. MT Hanna playfully said that Ohio Is still in the business at the old stand of incubating Presidents. Many attempts have been made to induce Mir Hanna to elucidate further what he then meant by his engmatical expression. but no one has been able to draw another word from him on the subject.

 Christian Year was entirely original?" Yes" he answered. 'it certainly is.
 Then how comes this?'' and Dr. Neale placed before him the Latin of one or Keble's hymns. Keble professed himself utterly confounded. He protested that he had never seen the original. After few minutes of quiet enjoyment Neale re- lieved him by owning that he had just turned it into Latin during his absence.

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders In Every Branch of Human Achieve ment.

The ruling nations of the world are meat eaters and history records that they always have been.
 Vegetarians and food cranks may ex- plain this in any way they choose, but the facts remain that the Americans, English, French, Russians and Germans are meat eating nations, and they are also the most energetic and most pro- gressive.
 The principal food of the heroic Boer soldier known as Biltong, Is sort of dried beef. affording great deal of nourishment in a highly concentrated form.
 The weak races of people are the rice eating Chinese Hindoos. and Slamese, regarded since the dawn of history as non progressive, expectations and infer for physically and mentally to the meat eating nations who dominate them.
 The structure of the teeth plainly indi- cates that human beings should subsist upon a variety of food. neat. fruit and grains. and 1t Is unhygienic to conf1ne ones diet to any one of those classes to the exclusion of another.
 Meat Is the most concentrated and most easily digested of foods. but our manner of living Is often so unnatural that the digestive organs refuse to pro- periy digest meat, eggs and similar nu- tritiOus and wholesome food, but 1t is not because such food Is unwholesome, but the real reason is that the stomach lacks, from disease or weakness, some necessary digestive element; hence aris- ing indigestion and later on, chronic dys- pepsia.
 Nervous people should eat plenty of meat convalescents should make meat the principal food. hard working people have to do so and brain workers and office men should eat, not so much meat but at least once a day and to insure it's perfect digestion one or two of Stuart 8 Dyspepsia Tablets should be taken after each meal, because they supply the pep tones. diastase and fruit acids. lacking in every case of stomach trouble.
 Nervous dyspepsia. catarrh of stom- ach. gastritis, sour stomach. gas and acidity are only different names for in- digestion. the failure to digest whole some food, and the use of Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets cures them all because by affording perfect digestion the stomach has a chance to rest and recover its na- tural tone and vigor.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the real household medicine: 1t Is as safe and pleasant for the stomach ache of the baby as 1t is for the imperfect diges- tion of its grand sire.
 They are not a cathartic but diQes- tive and no pill habit can ever follow their use; the only habit stuart's Tablets induce is the habit of good digestion I'd consequently good health.

Quay Not Consulted.

Then there is Matthew Stanley Quay. The Pennsylvania political autocrat helped Mir. Platt to make Mir. Roosevelt Vice President, and in view of all that has occurred is filled with regret that he did so. With Mir. Knox in his cabinet. the Presidents friends profess to believe that the Keystone state will be in the Roosevelt column by the time the nomin- ating convention meets, but they have not consulted Mir. Quay Oh the subject. and if they ever do they are not likely to get much comfort.
