HEnpERson,s GOODBYE.

1t must be confessed that Speaker
Henderson's retirement from the chair
was not marked with that unanimity of
cord!ality so generally expressed when
an official of his standing steps out.
Like his retirement from congress the
record is slightly clouded. When he
suddenly abandoned the field in Iowa
the depression that resulted among his
friends and political supporters lowered
the estimate placed upon his standing.
As indicating the state of feeling in
Washington, the following criticism
and compliment from the special corre-
spondent of the Chicago Tribune doubt
less fairly represents public sentiment:
The retiring speaker has made many
bitter political enemies during the last
of his own party in the house undoubt-
eddy was glad to welcome Mr.. Cannon
to the speakers chair. Nevertheless, in
the closing hour personal enmities were
forgotten entirely. and the one great
characteristic of the retiring speakers
character was made clearly evident. for
Dave Henderson always was a jolly
good fellow, as nobody can deny.
"This good fellowship so far out
weighed his political shortcomings that
his reception on the floor of the house
Immediately after the formal adjourn
ment was one of the most notable
things in the history of the congress.
Not only were the members anxious to
shake his hand and bid him honest
God speed" but the people in the gall
leries fiocked down on the floor and
joined in the reception with an honesty
of purpose which could not be misun-
derstood."
The place he occupied was one of the
most difficult in the nation to fill, and 1t
would not be surprising if some enemies
had been made; but for part of the
friction NE can not escape responsible
ity. Iowans,, however will always re-
member him gratefully for the loyal
service he rendered the state and nation
thru long public career.

CUTICURA
OINTMENT
Purest Of Emo|Iients and
Greatest Of Skin Cures.
The Most Wonderful Curative
Of All Time
For Torturing, Disfiguring
Humours.

Cuticura Ointmentis beyond question
the most successful curative for tortur-
ing, disfguring humours of the skin and
scalp, including loss Of hair, ever cons
pounded, in proof of which a single
amounting with it, preceded by hot
bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed
in the seyerer eases by dose of Cutl-
cura Resolvent Pills, is often sufficient
to afford immediate relief in the most
distressing forms of itching, burning
aud scaly humours, permits rest and
sleep, and points toa speedy cure when
all other remedies fail. 1t is especially
80 In the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing of infantile hui
mours, and preserving, purifying and

Cuticura Ointment possesses, Mt the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in-
fancy to age, far more effectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.

How the Little Dealer Did the Trust.

lt'rom The Tobacco War" in Leslie's
Monthly for NIarch.l
When the cigar store combination
first began to open stores in New York
q dealer in one of the downtown cross
streets was approached and asked to set
q figure on his business. He did so and
at twice the actual value of his estab-
lshment. The prospective purchaser
set one of his other agents to watch the
daily receipts of the mans store for a
week. The dealer had prepared for
this. Very quietly he had gone around
among his friends and arranged with
them to buy boxes of cigars and jars of
by the dozen or case, pur-
chases to be returned 1T the end of the
week, and bonus given to the pur-
chaser for his trouble. Naturally, the
of the United Cigar
Stores Company was much impressed
by the stream of purchasers who left
the avenue to buy of their favorite deal
err and the sale was effssted at the end
of the week at the dealers own figure.
For time the new owners could not
why business fell off so as
after they had taken pos
session, but when couple of months
went by with no Improvement the true
situation dawned upon them, and they
closet I'D the shop.

A Years Tobacco Bill in America.
lFrom "The Tobacco War in Leslie's
Monthly for March.

Montnly Tor Mafcn.J
The trust has gone into the manu-
facture of cigars. 1t has been in BUSH
ness less than two years and during the
past twelve months it produced about a
billion cigars. AS the total production
OF the country is approximately seven
billions this represents a very fair
amount Of business for an infant con-
Germ. This has been a period of re-
markable expansion in The cigar trade,
however, and the production of the
American Cigar Company represents
just about the increase Cor the year, so
that the new enterprisa has not inter-
fered seriously with the independent
manufacturers.
The enormous extent of the tobacco
BUSINESS in America riay be realized
from the fact that seven billion cigars,
three billion cigarets and two hundred
and eighty million pour Is of manufac-
tured tobacco and fifteen million pounds
of snuff are produced every year. The
retail value of all the smoking and
chewing tobacco in its various forms,
approaches s50O,000,O0O annually. 1t is,
indeed, business of royal proportions,
and its control is worth fighting for.

The Woman With Humor.

LILLIAN Belle in Harper's Bazarl
If you consider the list of your
friends, it will not take you long to dis
cover that this woman you like best is
the woman with sense of humor. She
Is the only one you think of first If you
are getting UP picnic or a card party.
You do not, perhaps, formulate 1t even
tic yourself, but in your mind she stands
for the utmost good humor. If it rains

Or grumpy, the woman with a sense of

Words.

The foolish think big words are splendid
And that within them wisdom lies,
But big words never were intended
To form the language of the wise;
Through smallest words that ha may find
The sage reveals his depth of mind.
The speeches of the fool are freighted
With words he chooses for their length.
When sense is with a big word mated,
1t dwind!es, robbed of half its strength.
The world needs no big words al all
Since love and hope and do are small.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip e~ffectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also a certain
cure for Group. Whooping cough is not
dangerous when this remedy is given.
1t contains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as con-
fidently to a baby as to an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all Of
these facts are taken into consideration
it is not surprising that people in for
eign lands, as well as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other after hav-
ing once used it. For sale by Cohen

for twenty-five years was stationed al
police headquarters, where he had am
pie opportunity to observe the dark
side of life in a great city. 1t was
through Mr.. Riis' book, "How the 9th
er Half Lives" that he formed the ac-
quaintance of Theodore Roosevelt.
Shortly after the book appeared" says
its author, "Mr. Roosevelt came to the
office of the paper on which | was en-
ployed looking for me. I was out, and
he left his card, merely writing on the
back of it that he had read my book
and had come to help and no one
ever helped as he did"
In 1.-THE Making of an American" Mr.
Riis has this to say concerning the
honors that have come to him: 81 value
the good opinion of my fellow man, but
would reserve the honors for those who
have earned them and on whom they
sit gracefully. They don't on me. !
am not ornamental by nature.
Nov that | have told that the read
er is at liberty to agree with my little
boy. He was having a heart to heart
talk with his mother, in the course OF
which she told him that no one was all
good except God.
"'And you.' he said admiringly. She
demurred, but he stoutly maintained
his own. I'll bet you he said, that if
you were to ask a lot of people around
here they would say that you were
fine. But he said refectiyely, l can't
understand why they make such a fuss
about papa"
Mr.. Riis retired from active newspa-
per work about two years ago to de-
vote himself to writing books and lee
turing. Besides the works mentioned
he has written THE Children of the
Poor" ''Out of Mulberry Street" Nib
sy's Christmas" "a Ten Years War;"
and 1.-THE Battle With the Sums"

The Word "Hurrah."

Some authorities connect "hurrah'
with a Hebrew shout of joy to Jeho-
yah, which occurs in the Psalms. 9th
ers derive it from 'Thor aide" a war
cry of the ancient Mortimer. Others
point to the Swedish and Danish "hur-
ra" and the German "hurren," to move
quickly, or the Danish "hurre," to
buzz, with which our hurry is associ-
ated.
Sir Francis Palgrave in his History
of Normandy and England" says: "It
was a wise custom in Normandy, es-
tablished by Rollo's decree, that any
one who had reason to fear damage
of goods, life or limb could raise the
country by the cry 'Haro! "Ha Raoul,'
justice in Duke Rollo's name; hence
our hue and cry The old English
harrow and our 'hurrah' are but vari-
atoms of this" There are some who
regard it as merely an initiative inter
lection akin to "whurra," used by Adj
olson in a play, 1715, or of "huzza,"
found in Eyelyn's Diary, 1865.
