There is a diminutive fox terrier with
snappy brown eyes, a short tail, and a
pair of nicely trimmed ears at the home
OF Miss Annie stein, seventeen years
old, that is the object of much con-
sideration, says the New York Herald.
Ms Stein has one arm bound up III
a sling, but with the other she pets a
terrier. For the i:!lle dog saved her
life.

Why He COuldn [ Sell.

"Solly Joel, the wealthy South Afri-
a racing man. once wagered a friend
100 pounds that he could stand on
Westminster Bridge for two hours
Offering golden sovereigns for sale at
~sixpence each and be unable to get
a bid, so suspicious is the average per-
son, says the New York Telegraph.
On a rainy evening he appeared n
one m of the bridge. shabbily dress
ed, and, holding out a handful of SOW
ereigns. urged passersby to purchase
one for ~sixpence.
Not a pedestrian halted, and the
friend who a bet became desperate
Grasping the arm of a seedy-looking
fellow, he thrust half a crown into the
mans hand.
Here. my good chap" said he,
take this half crown and buy one OF
those ~sovereigns the gentleman has
for sale there!"
The man took the money. put it in
his pocket, and said. with a grim:
"Blime, g%ov'nor, not I-'arf crowns
Is too scarce,' and he hurried across
the bridge. while Joel gave his friend
the laugh; and the two hours being
up, collected his bet.

Lawyer Loses His Bearing.

A southern doctor of divinity in New
York on his vacation was speaking of
unusual prayers he had heard, says the
M1hiie Register. One was made by a
young lawyers who through innate rie~
ty or from a desire to advance his po-
litical fortunes by being identified with
the church., besought the preacher to
call on him for prayer in the weekly
prayer meeting. SuSpecting that poll
tics and not piety was at the bottom
of the lawyers desire to pray in public
the preacher did not call on him until
one rainy night, when the attendance
was slim. Then Brother H. being ask
ed to "lead in prayer" began his sup
plication- In great detail he mention
ed the various situations, Personal and
general. in which the divine guidance
was desired. Finally. however, he hes
itated. as if he had forgotten anything
else to say. He showed signs of confu-
sion. and then, in a d~eSpairing tone of
voice, continued: In conclusion, your
honor, / might mention many other
things, but these will suffice for to-
night. Amen"

1T ALWAYS HELPS

An ailment like consump-
ton that has been months
and years getting a foothold
cannot be relieved in a week
or day. SCOTS Emulsion
will always afford relief and
often cure, but not over night.
The consistent use of SCOTS
Emulsion will positively help
the consumptive at any
stage of the disease. We
guarantee nothing beyond
this, but we know that right
living and SCOTS Emulsion
have done more to cure con-
sumption than anything else.

q Id" . LIZ piOSol
yGSInce that the Plat bill
Nc1ce the south's representation
in congress by nineteen, giving his
state eight instead of ten members of
congress.
We published a day or two ago a
speech made by Congressman John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, at Spar
tanburg on this subject in which he
advocated the ignoring by the south
of any such legislation by congress.
He declared tina the southern states
should, if such bill were passed, con-
tinue tc elect the present number OF
representatives and demand that they
her present representation or none at
all.
We are a great admirer of Mr.. Will
liams, we hin him the leading demo-
Crat of the day. But we cannot follow
him in this matter. Were the south to do
as he advocates it woul lose all rep
resentation in congress-. We do not
believe the federal supreme court would
AXE Jurisdiction Of uch a case. The
south would be thrown out of court
and would in the end have to elect the
number of congressman allotted it. The
supreme court might declare the Plat
bill unconstitutional, but it could not
o-1o- Tho ho,,ca Of REPRESENTATIVES, 10
seat those members elected under the
present law. That would be going be-
yond it's powers.
This matter has been under discus
sion by the southern press and people
for some time. They nave come to the
conclusion tina the best thing the south
could dO-in fact, the only thing for ii
to dds to abide by the action
of congress, to say to the nation that
rather than give up its control of the
franchise in the several states where
the suffrage has been taken from the
ignorant negroes it will submit to reduc,
tion in it's representation in congress:
and in the electoral college.
II strikes us this is the only thins
the south can do. If the republican
party wishes to pass such a bill We
cannot help it. We must submit to it
It is a very foolish piece of politica
work on the part of the republicans i
they really want to see the ole demo
cratic south broken. This is the yer!
way to make this section solid.
If Mr.. Roosevelt wants to make him
SELF solid with the south let him vet
such bill if it passes both houses o
congress. There would be his chanc
10 raise such a Juror of popularity 70
himself at the south that no presiden
has yet mad. We believe the south i
ready to meet Mr.. Roosevelt half way
ready to so more than half way in help
ing him 10 close the breach which stiI
exists: but a veto by him OF such
easur would. with the stroke o
the pen, wipe out all -sectionalism an
the south would arise and with on
voice declare that Mr.. Roosevelt is on
president. Such an act on his par
would do more TO breaking down III
sectional barrier than all the concilia
tory speeches that could be made in
life time.
If congress passes this bill there wi
be given Mr.. Roosevelt an oppUrtuni
ty to make himself the most popula
man who has occupied the presidentis
chair in many a day.

In Cleveland, where she lived and was
J a conspicuous figure, apparently nobody
took the trouble to look into her life
or antecedents a single day back Of

of her begins with her appearance
there as the wife of DR.. Chadwick. 1t
seems likely that she is the same wo-
man who at the g of thirty had
known a tumultuous career, including
successful experience as a c~lairvoyant,
w marriages and divorces and a term
in the p~enitentiary. Nobody seems to
have tried to learn who or what she
was before her marriage, and the wise
men who advanced her tens and hum
dreds of thousands Of dollars did not
think Of such an easy and safe plan as
sending a twenty-five cent telegram 20
ask whether or not the Carnegie sigma
ture was genuine. To the ordinary
mind it is a mystery why a strong sus-

' Iriumphs of Modern Surgeqy.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scrap. ed and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pi' es take the place of the diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressing are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries defore in- fammation sets in, which causes them to heal without matura- tion and in one-third the time re- quired by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antisepic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. Italso allays. the pains and soreness.
