The selection of Hon. Arthur p.
German as chairman Of the Democratic
caucus in the senate Is extremely sig
nifcant. It shows the strong under.
current which is causing party fac
tions to drift together In an effort TO
cement interests OF the campaign OF
1904; II means that Democrats realize
that a united front must be presented
In order to roll up the necessary ma.
Jority and at the same time places
the gentleman from Maryland in a po-
sitlon which may enable him TO pune
ture a few presidential booms before
the clans gather In national conven.
tion. German Is a practical politician
and practical party men believe in lin.
ing up at a pie counter even though
they may not be served on a l6 TO /

country additional advantages. and in

but the action OF the Democrats has
killed the measure for this congress
They contended that the ostensible oh
iect Of the bill, which was to get the
money now congested in the national
treasury out into the hands of the peo
Pile could be done in another and much
better way, and that was by reducing
the tariff on many articles and stoT

ALONG SENTENCE.
One That Discounted the Longest
One Evart. Ever Uttered.


Abram s. Hewitt had a very nimble
wit and dearly loved joke. He was
once a guest at dinner which includ-
ed Recorder Smyth and senator Evarts.
The recorder was poking fun at the
senator and read from a newspaper
clipping what purported to be a sen
tence from a recent speech made by
the senator. but which was in reality
wholly fictitious. as the senator knew
quite we'll AT its conclusion the laugh
was long and hearty at Mr.. Evarts' ex-
pense. and no one laughed longer or
beartier than the senator himself.
AS soon as the laughter had subsided
Mr.. Hewitt suddenly leaned across the
table and. looking rather sternly into
the smiling face Of the recorder, said In
well assumed tone Of reproach:
That certainly Is a remarkable sen
tence, your honor. but criticism Of IL
does not come well from you IL today's
newspapers are 10 be believed, for they
contain a sentence Of much greater
length which is attributed TO you"
"Why-why, how IL that, Mr.. Hew-
ittf" inquired the recorder, with con
siderable confusion.
Because" said Mr. Hewitt. with the
utmost gravity and that grim smile
which always accompanied his best
sayings, you are there quoted as ut
tering a sentence that was 10 last
through the whole life Of the prisoner"

When a Burman has earned a little
money, he Immediately proceeds to
spend IL all, for the Burmese have no
ambition TO be rich and never hoard.
Consequently there are no large land
owners, and, there being no aristocracy,
the people are as near being on an
equality as possible. Poor people are
quite as rare as rich people, and the
only beggars TO be met with are the

The Teacher Won.

Hinton, Ky, Nov. 2.-For over two years, two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mir. E. J. Thomp- son. a popular local school teacher, for Dia- betes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made mp his mind to try new remedy called Dodd s Kidney Pills, and says
 They saved me when the doctors held out no hope 1 took in all, about ten boxes. l will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me.
 Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an in curable disease Our teacher. Mir. Thomp son, says 1t Is curable. for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without sue cess.
 A remedy that will cure Diabetes will sure ly cure any case of Kidney Trouble.

WHY HOGS ROOT.
When the Animals Sgc Fed Their Shouts shorten nna Be
 come tselesS,

According to the New York Farmer a writer on swine says: It Is the hog s nature to root. and nature has provided 1t with not only the propensity but the implements t0 indulge it. As lhe wants of the animal are supplied without root ing, the roofing portion of tie pig be- comes less suitable to the purpose, as all the improved breeds are shortening up in the nose and snout.
 Hogs root foT worms and tfubers or grass roots. These not only aid as ra- ton of maintenance, but as a regulator and conditioner of the system. The desire to root at the present time is a symptom usually that the stomach de- mands something that it is not receiving,
 Hogs that are fed on dry corn Br grain feed develop this desire for roG8fng, as Ithe hog endeavofs to secure thaf which will relieve it. To prevent this condition we would feed plenty of charcoal 5r wood ashes. also little oimeal, to get them into proper condition.
 animal that forms the habit of root ing will root regardless of demands II is as hard to break 1t of the habit as is the chewing of tobacco in the human race and the only preventive is some system oi ringing to prevent the use of the5nout.
