from being able to do her work without
the greatest exhaustion. This is a very
common sight, and is almost always due TO
pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with a dis
ease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. II

A POINT FOR SCIENTISTS.
Why the Spontaneous Combustion 81
Young Trees?


Destruction of trees by spontaneous
combustion seems to be almost i'm
possible, and yet it has occurred FIRE
quently on the banks of the River
Cam, near Cambridge, England. Al
n point in the rtyer the process has
been seen going on: Hale and greer
willow trees, covered with 4 rich mass
of foliage and in a lourishing condi
ton on the river banks, suddenly
burst forth into ignition and burn like
finder right down to the core.
In most of the cases the trees were
little thaS striplings, so thai
putrescence or fermentation can hard
ly be given as q reason for the phen
oneron: The big. vigorous willow,
poured forth clouds of smoke from
their half-burned stems, and when the
fire had burned out presented an ap
pearance Of charred ruins, looking al
If they had been stripped and shat
tered by lightning.
1t Is up to the scientists to .explair
away the fact that though q large per
centage of the substance of trees i.
water, yet these willow trees burned
without cid from other sources,

Men would not hear me then, and~now

The dear unrest.

WHAT Old Friends Had to Relate
After a LONG Separation.

AS a reporter was walking down
Alder street yesterday a man, whom
he did not at once recognize, accost-
ed him and in a few words showed
that he was an old friend who had
been absent from the city for a num-
Der of years. AS they walked along
he asked the reporter if he remem-
bered the time Sandy Odds shot Emil
Weber. The reporter replied that he
remembered the incident.

killed by Olds' shot and Olds after

excuse the return of the compliment.

Why Did Not Colombia
Rutify the CuDul Treaty ?
Lack of Development Kept the Country
and It's Statesmen Selfish.

Develop Colombia, bring her capital,
and all of her rich interior, into closer
everyday relationship with the world,
and these conditions will change within
a few years. Colombia offers every IL
ducement for development save that
which must come from the government
itself-stability and security for invest
ments Save for few short periods, so
short as to prove the rule that they do not
exist, these have neverbeen known since
the rule of the Spaniard was overthroWn.
The greatest of mineral and agricultural
wealth lies waiting for the call OF man.
Given security for their investments, the
men would come quickly enough, without
it the country will continue to lie DOR
mant
With a territorial area of some 100000
square miles, Colombia has less than
400 miles of railway, and this small
amount is divided into dozen short
sections far removed from each other.
With half a dozen promising harDors
along the Caribbean sea, there is no
means of reaching the interior OF the
country through them save by the Mag
dalena river and its tributaries, or by
pack mules. Not only is it without rail-
roads, but without wagon roads as well.
The capitol is reached either through
Barranquilla or Cartagena, Caribbean
seaports, thence by railroad for short
distance to the Magdalena river, then by
river steamers to Honda, and from there
by pack train to Bogota. The river por-

ton of the journey will occupy anywhere
from seven days to as many weeks, de-
pending entirely upon the political con-
dition of the country, the seven days
being the quickest time possible. Honda
is GOO miles from the sea, and from there
to Bogota is three days mule journey
over roads with which our forest cor
duroy cannot fairly be compared. Two
short lines of railway run from the Mag
dalena, one at Honda and another at
Puerto Berrio, but they are of no i'm
portance to the country at large. b.
gotta has two short lines of some Is miles
each, connecting nearby towns. The
other railroads in operation are equally
unimportant from the commercial stand
point. So it is that practically the entire
commerce of this naturally rich country
must be carried by the AZ little river
steamers which operate on the Magda-
lena and its navigable tributaries
Colombia is self-centered country
from which the world can expect but
little in the way of favor save upon
dollars and cents basis for its self-cen-
tered statesmen. Of hearty public SEN

virtually the only extensive deposits in

are being mined in a small way by few
