sistance in the fight against this dis
ease The sooner the profession Will
acknowledge this to the public and
set TO work to discover some specific

profession has stirred up the mem
bers Of the Chicago Medical society.
Several physicians OF the city protest
against this arraignment.
All admit however, that there is no

their protests solely on the contention
that they might influence the patient

and by the moral effect OF their pres

Democrats would agree to stop abus-

have the Republicans stop abusing
Mr.. Bryan. saying both are working in
the interest of the Republican party
He created a ripple OF laughter by
inviting the Democratic party 10 dis

Mr.. Roosevelt, he declared will be
triumphantly elected president and he

The only opposition to Mr.. Roose-
velt he said was a little bunch OF
Populists down in Wall street. The
Democrats. he said We're without a
leader and he advised them TO get
away from issues.
Mr. Bede entered upon review OF
the conditions existing under Repub-

return to the situation of 1893 by
disturbing present conditions.
He said the Democrats seem TO fear

Referring 10 the Panama question
he said every one wanted done that
which had been done. He said every
Democrat in the house would vote for
the treaty if they had a vote.
MI Bede convulsed the house with
laughter by stories which he injected
by way of illustration.
In conclusion Mr.. Bede again ex
tended an invitation to the Democrats
to join the Republicans and elect
Roosevelt.

Proved IL to the Barometer.

A sheep farmer in the Cheviot hills
had been told that 1t was useful to
have a barometer in the house, for It
would let him know when the weather
would be good or bad. He was &C
cordingly persuaded to procure a mer-
curial instrument with a large round
dial, which he hung up In his lobby,
and duly consulted every day without
much edification. At last there came
a spell of rainy weather, Wilde the
barometer marked set fair" The
rain continued to fall heavily, and
still the hand on the dial made no
sign of truth. At last he took the
instrument from its nail and marched
with it to the bottom Of the garden,

The Anqler's Toast

When men meet to drink to those they
love most,
Let anglers fill up their cups for a
toast.
Touch lip to no glass
To proud dame or lass
Who from gentle sport will tempt you
to stray;
But let your cups clink.
Ye anglers, and drink
A health to the fish,
To the biggest fish,
The fish that got away!
You lured him by craft: he fought you
In fair tight or foul. he splintered your
rods,
Barbed weapon Of steel
You've oft made him feel,
But, valiant and strong, he won every
fray.
Then hll to the brim
And drink deep to him
A toast to the fish,
To the biggest fish,
The fish that got awayi
What sD others sE;,, you've killed with cunning
You've never caught him and never you
will.
In brook, lake or sea
The monarch is he
re anglers, stand up and due homage
pay.
Let every glass ring
A toast to the King
Long life to the fish
To the biggest fish,
The fish that got away!

Beautifyinq Rooms.

So much may be done toward beau.
tifying rooms by selecting suitable
pictures, yet so much depends upon
the proper hanging of them, that it is
no wonder the result is not always
satisfactory.
Indeed, the hanging OF a picture
makes 1t great success or a disas-
trous failure as a decoration. Where
there is blaze Of light, for example,
either from windows in the daytime
or lamps at night, It is unwise to
hang pictures whose colors are vivid,
and, on the other hand, those same
pictures perceptibly brighten dark
corners, Railways, etc., says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Small pictures should be grouped !;

No Better than a Doc.

John d. Crimmins on his return

American feel so provincial as to visit
foreign countries and have nothing
but English to rely on. Why, even In
England the menus are in French,
and, if you have no French, where are
you when II comes to ordering an
English dinner?
81 don't believe, though, in teaching
children languages in an unthorough,
half hearted way, so that when they
go to Paris they will say:

test was settled on the spot, for
Toombs was elected by his usual huge
