Colombia forces and warn them to
keep hands off?
What did we think of the attempt
eracy in 1861? We warned her to
keep hands off, and she did so. The
truth is that the Roosevelt admins
tration not only has recognized the
republic" of Panama, but there is a
welI-founded belief that the revolt of
Panama was planned in the city of
New York and carried out by Ameri-
can guns at the instigation and con-
nivance of public officials, every move
of which was known in advance by
the republican administration. Every
move and every step proves this or it
proves nothing.
Three leading New York papers
state the undoubted facts with full
particulars. The New York Times, a
republican journal, has this to say
delegate to Secretary of State Hay in
September:
Mr.. Duque is said to have informed
Mr.. Hay that the revolution was
scheduled to take place Sept. %, the
day after the time for the ratification
of the treaty = and to have
asked for the United States govern
ment's aid in carrying it on
According to the Times. Mr.. Hay
INDUCED in this astonishing piece of
advice to the Panama schemers:
Besides, Mr.. Hay is said to have
added, Sept. % was much too early,
pointing out to Mr.. Duque that rev
olutiOn coming the day after the eX-
piration of the treaty would be an
absurdity, since revolutions usually
require time for preparation
The agent sent to Mr.. Hay return
ed to New York the same day and the
revolution was postponed. as Mr..
Hay suggested, from Sept. % to
Nov. ,.
This shows that Mr.. Roosevelt's
secretary of state was deliberately
plotting, advising and cOuntenancing
the revolt-this secret, reasonable
conspiracy against the friendly re-
public of ColOmbia-early in Septem-
Der last.
The trap was not sprung until Nov.
,, and few hours afterward Roose
recognition of the rebel government,
and their orders to the American war
vessels at the isthmus to prevent by
force of arms any attempt of ColOm-
bia to put down the revolt" Then
in few days the French stock opera
tor and Spectator who pretends to
represent the new republic" of Pan
anna at the federal capital, was re-
ceived by President Roosevelt with
great show of spectacular ceremony,
and a treaty was signed by the presi-
dent and this French speculator put
ting 10 millions and the protection of
the American army and navy in the
hands of Pierpont Morgan and the
Panama junta of spectators. and
$50 100000 guaranteed TO the Panama
canal bondhoIders
BY the course pursued by the
Roosevelt administration in the Pana-
ma proceedings, it trampled on the
weak, declared secession to be right
full, and promoted its success. 1t is
shameful episode in our national his
tory.

Mrs. Van Dine. mother of Harvey
Van Dine, the Chicago bandit who
will have to answer for the murder
of several people, has been working
with charitable organizations for sew
eral years, devoting much time to or
ganizing boys clubs, the purpose of
which was to keep boys from saloons,
smoking, and reading lurid literature.
She never suspected her own boy of
doing any wrong. And yet he was
the fellow that was most in need of

YOUR MONEY RETURNED.
If HSOmei Does Not Cure You of Catarrh
SAYS T. III. Thomas.

In advertising that he will refund
the money to anyone purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, T. II. Thomas means eX-
actly what the guarantee says.
Of course the percentage of cures
by HyOmei is nearly 100 or else he
could not afford to make this unusual
offer. But if the treatment should be
adapted to your case, there will be no
questions or quibblings when you go
to get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs in the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyo-
mel treatment kills the catarrh germs
even in the minutest air cells, soothes
and heals the irritated mucous mem
brane and makes complete and last
ing cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stOm-
ach. HyOmei is the only natural
method and it has made cures that
seem miraculous. The outfit costs
but 81 and consists of an inhaler
which will last a lifetime and suffi-
cient Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomei
can be procured for so cents.
T. H. Thomas gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
he sells to refund the money if it
does not cure. There is no risk what
ever TO the purchaser of Hyomei.

But If in this way he thought to de-

mistaken. Perceiving that their speed
was considerably slacSened and hearing
Bill lou 'lv reproach the horses for their
laziness, Mr. Delafeld softly opened the

the bureau, the latter Of which they were
about to remove when they were surprs-
ed at the unexpected appearance Of Mr.
Delaheld, who could not resist the strong
desire which he felt to stand once more
in the room where Rosa had spent SO
many weary weeks. For a moment the
blacks suspended their employment, and
then Linda, who seemed to be leading,
took hold of the bureau, giving one end
IF 1t shove toward the center Of the
room. The movement dislodged the long
lost letter, which, covered with dirt and
cobwebs, fell upon the floor at her feet.
She was the same woman who, weeks
before, had carelessly knocked of the
letter, which she now picked UP and
handed to Mr.. Delafed. saying, as she
wiped of the dirt, 1T muht have leid

ton, Mr.. Delaaeld broke the seal, and
read. From black to whits--from white
to red-from red to speckled-and from
speckled back again TO its natural color,
grew his face as he proceeded, while his
eyes grew so dazzlingly bright with the
intensity of his feelings that the negroes,
who watched him, whispered among
themselves that he must be gwine stark
mad,
His active, quick-seeing mind took in
the meaning of each sentence, and even
before he had finished the letter he IN
derstood everything just as it was-why
Rosa had appeared so strangely when
she read DIR. Clayton's letter to herself,
and realized perfectly what her feelings
must have been as day after day went by
and he still "made no sign"
But she is mine now, thank heaven!
and nothing shall take her from me-" he
exclaimed aloud, unmndful of the pres
ence of the negroes, who, confirmed in
their impression of his insanity looked
curiously after him as he went down the
stairs, down the walk, and out into the
street, proceeding with rapid strides to-
ward the depot.

CANNOT FIND ITS SPECIES.

Singular Animal Brought from the
East Indies Puzzles Natura1ists.
A very fine example of the bnturong
(arctictis binturong) has just been re-
ceived at the geological gardens and
placed in the small mammal-house,
says the London Standard. This curl
Gus animal is native of the East In
dies, ranging from Assam southwark
through Siam and the Malay peninsu-
la to Sumatra and Java. A large
specimen will measure about five feet
in total length, of which the tail
counts for nearly a half. The long,
coarse hair is black, but there Is a
gray wash on the head and forelimbs
and there is little white over the
eyes and on the throat; the ears are
short and carry long tufts Of hair.
Its English book name, bear cat" Is
modelled on It's generic appellation and
records the difficulty early naturallsts
experienced in ascertaining the ami
mails true place In their schemes Of
classification
Although it was at one time placed
with the bears, 1t Is now regarded as
closely allied to the palm oiyets. In
matters of diet the binturong Is MOI
hard to please. When opportunity
serves 1t will take small mammals,
birds, insects and worms When these
cannot be secured 1t will support It
self on fruits, and in captivity 1t viii.
take fruit of all kinds readily. The
binturong Is more active by night than
In the daytime, and lives almost en-
tlrely among the branches of the trees
of the forest regions In which 1t Is
found. 1t 10 remarkable as being the
only true mammal Of the eastern hem
sphere which has prehensile tail. 1t
can wind this organ around branch
and thus the tail aids the animal In
its arboreal life.
Blyth showed, many years ago, that
the young Of this species could hang
on to a bough by the tip of the tail.
Whether the adults can suspend them
selves in this manner has been doubt
ed. There can, however, be no ques-
ton that the tail Is of considerable
service to them, and that they use this
fifth hand as holdfast. The ex-
ample which has just arrived at the
gardens Is nearly adult, and, though
somewhat shy, is fairly tame, for, with
a little coaxing, 1t will come to the
| front Of the cage to take fruit from
| visitors. Like all new arrivals, how
ever, it Is somewhat distrustful. If
ward with a splitting noise, like an
angry cat, while the paw delivers a
round handed blow, like that of a

Wnmen Well Grnomed.

Women Of to-day are particularly
well groomed. They see that their hair
is kept in excellent condition and their
nails are beautifully manlcured; they
indulge In facial massage and buy
creams and lotions galore to preserve
what good looks they have, but there
is scarcely one who considers her ex-
preston sufficiently to keep her mouth
pretty. 1t Is the mouth which tells
the tale Of fretful and irritable dis
position. This is the feature which
acts as a give-away when a woman
wishes to appear what she Is not. Just

Valuable Cleaning Mixture.

Those who have found gasoline I'M
satisfactory for cleaning purposes will
not be disappointed in the following
mixture: One pint gasoline, two table
spoonfuls alcohol, two tablespoonfuls
ammonia. For cleaning black dress
goods to be washed take each piece on
a fat surface, as of table or ironing
board, placed where the light is good,
and after thoroughly brushing with
whisk broom, scrape each spot with a
knife, then brush, then scrape again,
finishing by rubbing well with a piece
of black flannel, or, better, with a wool
stocking. You will be surprised to find
that many spots can be entirely re-
moved In this way. Gather in the
hand all the soiled places that remain
and dip them in the fluid Then pre-
pare a warm suds, wash the goods,
wiring lightly, rinse in warm water,
drain on the line while the irons are
heating, iron on wrong side while en-

The best means to prevent this Is
to strengthen the hair, and this can
easily be accomplished by frequent
cutting, and the use of salt and water
and vaseline. Has one ever noticed
what bushy hair seafaring men have?
Does one ever see bald sailor? 1t is
because their hair Is in constant con-
tact with the invigorat ting salt air, and
Is often wet with salt water. A good

Eating Fruit.

Plenty of fruit in its season, eaten
while it Is ripe and fresh, is no doubt
an excellent thing for the health and
promotive of good digestion, healthy
liver and pure blood. But our hy-
gienic friends, especially If they are
Of vegetarian sympathies, are some
times likely to become little Cranky"
on this subject and to carry the advo-
cacy of fruit-eating to an extreme.
Judgment is needed in eating fruit as
in other things, and selection should
be made to suit the individual and his
present condition. Fruit OF any kind
may easily be eaten to excess, the
fruit enthusiasts to the contrary not
withstnndinE. Much Is said about the
benedt Of eating fruit in tho morning
or before breakfast But many par
soas eannet eat fruit before breakfast
with good results, and many do not
relish 1t in the morning at all. Othegs
do not like to take 1t at meals. Such
ought not to fierce their taste and con-
vert fruit int distasteful medicine.
The appetite is, generally speaking, the
best guide as to what fruit should DO
eaten, when, and how much, in case
the person Is in ordinary health. II
he Is not, he should, of course, get his
physicians opinion on the subject.
