A Persistent ONCE seeker.

Governor Stanley of Kansas was
once so pestered by office seekers, re-
lates the Saturday Evening Post, that
he found it necessary publicly to make
the statement that in view of the ex-
ceedingly numerous applications for
office he had received through the
mails he should be unable to give any
attention to them, much less afford
any hope of success to the various APP
plicants.
In the course of few days after
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note:
'My Dear GOVERNOR understand
that you have said that you were GO
ing to take week off to destroy the
pile of letters asking for jobs. If ev-
erything else is gone, then, my dear
governor. l should like the job of tear
ing up the letters

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years it was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, prounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by f. J. Cheney & Co,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constltu-
tlonal cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from ten
drops to teaspoonfull. Itacts direct
~ on the blood and mucous surface
of the system. They offer one hur :
dred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testi
monials.

over thirty years ago, penniless and
friendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only 5000, working beside
a tank foul with the smell of oil /; but

The great captains of industry OF to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years

What is the secret of their success !?
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,

secret. He believes that honesty. So

are essentials IN the foundation on which

KoREA'S SEVEN WONDERS
The Most Peculiar of Them Is the
Famous Floating stone.

StOHcs
Korea, like the world of the ancients
has its .seyen wonders Briefly
stated, they are as follows: First, hot
mineral spring near Kinshantao, the
healing properties of which are be-
lieved to be miraculous. No matter
what disease may affiict the patient, a
dip in the water proves efficacious.
The second wonder is two springs
situated at considerable distance
from each other. In fact, they have
the breadth of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
tiles. When one is full the other is
empty, and Notwithstanding the OBJ
vious fact that they are connected by
a subterranean passage one is of the
bitterest bitter and the other pure
sweet.
The third wonder is Cold Wind cave,
perpetually blows. The force of wind
from the cave is such that a strong
man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated is
the fourth wonder No matter what
injury is done the roots of the trees,
which are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the phenix from
its ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful of
all. 1t is the famous floating stone"
1t stantN. or seems to stand, in front Of
the palace erected in its honor. Il is
an irregular cube of great bulk It ap-
pears to be resting on the ground, free
from support on all sides; but, strange
to say two men at opposite ends Of a
rope may pass it under the stone with
out encountering any obstacle what
ever!
The sixth wonder is the shot stone"
which from remote ages has lain glow
ing with heat on the top of a high hill.
The seventh and last Korean wonder
is a drop of the sweat of Buddha. For
thirty PAGES around the large temple
in which it is enshrined not a blade of
grass will grow. There are no trees
or flowers inside the sacred square.
Even the animals decline to profane q
spot so holy.

The Mexican Carrier.

The cargador, or carrier. of Mexico
is remarkable individual. Nothing
seems too bulky. nothing too heavy for
him to carry and it is quite wonderful
how he manages not only TO lift but
to balance his cumbersome load 1t is
nothing for man to Garry a load
weighing 400 pounds, this being borne
either on the top of the head or on the
shoulders and kept in place by a fat
braid passing across the forehead.

Gunpo,vaer ana ARTILLERY.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past.
The Hindoo code. compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
ing Of war with cannon and guns or
any kind of firearms. Quintus Curtius
informs US that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia and
Philostratus says that Alexanders con-
quests were arrested by the use of gun
powder. 1t is also written that those
wise men who lived in the cities of the
Gauges ''overthrew their enemies with
tempests and thunderbolts shot from
the walls" Cassell's Magazine.

STYLE IN TYPEWRlTlNG.
Points by Which Each Operators
Work May Be Identified.

FOlntS Dy men EAcn OperatOr'S
Work May Be Identified.
1t will come as surprise TO many
people to know that there is a great
deal of character in typewriting. Were
half dozen operators TO use the same
machine, paper and actual words, ca, \
printing off a dozen sheets, and We're
all these to be mixed up indiscriminate-
", practiced eye could distinguish
each operators work instantly.
In a recent law case, where lengthy
typewriter document Of many sheets
was in question, it was alleged that
one of the papers included had been
substituted for another sheet. Although
be the work of one hand, experts
showed that the spacing was quite diff
ferent, especially between the end of
one sentence and the beginning of an
other, and on the substituted sheet the
new paragraphs began in quite differ
ent position on the lines, and the let
tiers were shaky instead of upright and
firm, and the punctuation-the crucial
test-was wholly different.
The experts were unable to trace the
person who had done the bogus type
writing, but they agreed that it was
young woman and only beginner at
typewriting; that she was nervous, not
very strong, and that her education
was only moderately good.
The writer of the other sheets COM
prising the document was defined, from
the evenness, correctness and frmness
of the typewriting, to be an expert
enced operator.

LAND LAW CHANGES.
Chairman Lacey, of Public Lands
Committee. Opposed to Repeal.

Washington, NOV. l3.--The pros
pect increases that the controversy
over changes in the public land laws
viii occupy large part OF the time
OF the regular session. The impor-
tant announcement was made today
that Representative Lacey, Of Iowa.
chairman Of the house committee on
public lands, will oppose any change
whatever in the present laws He is
an influential factor to be reckoned
with, but there is a tremendous
weight OF opinion in favor of whole
sale repeal and revision.
Secretary Hitchcock has been ham
mering away on this subject several
years, and ne will hammer harder
than ever this year He is so unpop-
ular in congress. however. that his
wishes in this matter are Of little
significance: but he will be able %
show that some of the present scan
dalS in the land department are due
not to a lack Of vigiant administra-
tiOn. but to great faults in the land
laws themselves. Not only is Rep
reSentative Lacey opposed to making
any changes in the timber and stone.
desert land and homestead commuta-
tion laws but he will oppose any
amendment to the lieu land law 1t
is this law that Secretary Hitchcock
declares is responsible for so much
Tascality and fraud. Mr.. Lacey said
today:
THE more stringent You make the
land laws, the greater the incentive
TO violate them. II the existing laws
are properly enforced they are al
right TO repeal the lieu land law
would be unfair to persons who still
hold land in forest reserves. As long
as that law stands the interior de-
partmcnt will be extremely careful
how it creates new reserves"
Mr.. Lacey is not known as a friend
OF forestry measures or of Secretary
Hitchcock.
