secretary oofeei'o his death :, sent
word to President Roosevelt that he was
making mistake. The message was
sent by Don Cameron, who received It
from the lips Of the dying senator.
II want you to tell him as soon az
possible" Quay is quoted as saying.
Probably should have no voice in
the selection, but tell the president
that he is surely making a mistake.
"Don," he is reported to have said
further, "the coming campaign will be
a hard one. It will be one Of the hard
est fights in the history Of the repub-
lican party. The opposition is strong
and it may grow stronger. and on this
account the new chairman should be
man who has had the greatest political
experience that it is possible to OBJ
tain sS as {sts8tt b
Senator Penrose is also supposed to
be opposed to the selection Of Secre-
tary Cortelyou, and is said to be max
ing an effort to unite eastern republic
ans on some other candidate for the
place. Rumor has it that the choice
Of this dissatisfied element has centered
on Senator John Fairchild Dryden,
junior United States senator from New
jersey.
It is said the opposition to Cortel-
you results from lack of consultation
on the part Of the president with rec
ognized leaders of the party before his
selection, but the president and his
friends seem not to fear the result at
the coming convention.

FOOD FACTS

A prominent physician Of Rome.
Georgia, went through food expert

1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape Nuts food.
and | also know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is q won
derful rebuiloer and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, sas well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and sick pa-
tients always gain just. Is did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
I was in such q low state that I
had TO give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains of this state:
but two months there did not improve
me; In fact | was not quite as well as
when left home. My food absolutely
refused to sustain me and It became
plain that must change; then I be-
gan to use Grapefruit food and In two
weeks could walk mile without
the least fatigue and In five weeks re-
turned to my home and practice. tax
ing up hard work again. Since that
time have felt as well and strong as
ever did In my life.
AS q physician who seeks to help
all sufferers consider 1t duty to
make these facts public. = Name given

down upon the sultan's head now the
wrath of two nations. It is in accord
ance with the oriental custom, that our
consul at Tangier has asked the sultan
that he advance money for the ransom
demanded, the consuls immediate con-
Germ being the safety of the lives OF the
captives. 1t is reported the brigand
chief more than once has enjoyed the
hospitality of Mr.. Perdicaris in Tangier,
where the American is owner of one of
the sultans palaces; but that the brig

would overtake the captives If the terms
were refused. Mr.. Perdicaris IL 20

year kept captive Mr.. Walter B. Harris,

WOMAN SELLS MANY FARMS
Chicago School Teacher Earned $1,-
500 in Commissions During Her
Vacation Last Year.

Woman's ability to sell farms and
induce city people to move them, no
matter how far away they are, is
proved by the experience of Chicago
woman school teacher, according to the
story an Illinois land agent tells. He
says, reports the Chicago Tribune, one
of the women teachers in Chicago
schools made $500 in commissions
during her vacation last year, selling
farm lands in a far northern country.
This woman is not only good talker.
dresses and looks well, but she seemed
to know just what families or heads OF
families to select. In each case they
were the best adapted, according to her
view of the matter, to farming, and as
a result some of them are on their
farms and have crops growing. She did
not sell to women particularly, but to
men who are good judges Of land.
She had one advantage in talking up
the country in which she was selling
land. She had herself invested in q
quarter section She knew what Is
raised there, what class of people go to
that locality, and something about the
weather of the region, acquiring ia
miliarity with so many features she
was able to answer almost any Ques-
ton asked of her. Not long ago,
among party that left Chicago on an
evening St. Paul train, at least half
were Chicago persons whom she had
induced to go north and look at the
country in which she herself had in
vested her earnings.
It is told by those who are in posi-
ton to know that women make good
homesteaders and stick to claim I'M
til it is proved up and number of i'm
provements made. A Sycamore Qll)
girl proved up a claim in North Dako-
ia, taught school at the>same time, ana
finally won banker for husband, all
in the same deal. a e e
About two years ago, when the
southwestern railroads were develop
ing and reaching out to new section
OF Oklahoma, two young women OF
Manitowoc, Wis, got the homestead
fever and started off for that now
promising land. They were in at the
rush and each got claim. These
girls are now at their homes in Mani
towoc on visit. They stayed down in
the territory until they had perfected
their claims and made a number If
improvements. The land, in the face
Of sure statehood to the territory, has
already become valuable.
The names of this plucky pair are
Mary Trestik and Matilda Meyer.
Both are under Is, and neither had
been away from home until they start
ed on to new country, where they
now have together 800 acres OF the
finest farming land of the middle
west.

active politics for good. It is not prob
able that Pennsylvania will soon have
another man in the senate like Quay. He
was one of the worst hated and best liked
men in Washington. Though he figured
prominently in national politics and
was considered as one Of the leaders
OF his party, he has but few notable
achievements to his record as legis-
lator, and never played a conspicuous
role in the deliberations Of the senate.
It was but seldom that he was to be
found in the senate chamber. nor did
he give greater attention to the meet
ings of the appropriations committee.
of which he was q member.
AS a story teller Quay could always
secure an attentive audience, though
there were but few outside OF coterie
of intimate friends who were privileged
to listen to his tales. One of the last
stories he told in Washington was re-
lated while standing in the senate
cloakroom, and was intended to illus
trate the high standard Of morality in
the keystone state. According to Quay
an old Pennsylvania Dutchman, .
thrifty but not wealthy farmer, was
elected to the legislature. Several
'meaty" railroad and other corpora
ton measures came up for considers
ton, and after the session had closed
the old farmer surprised everybody
by buying and paying cash for prop
erty worth $4,000. Some one asked If
fortune had been left to him. "Oh,
no." was the reply. II have just been
saving money while in Harrisburg at
