So Jabez Hottie sent for reporter
and said to him: What Is the best
way to let the world know that am
not merely an acquirer of wealth, but
that all my money getting has had but
one object, the final giving away of all
my goods to the poor?"
The reporter said: You might adj

effect: 'Jabez Hottie, millionaire, wish

Safe RaiIroadinq.

The action Of the North Western Rail-
way company in forbidding their train
crews to exceed schedule time in order
to make up lost time is one that will
greatly exasperate the impatient and in
considerate travelling public who have
become danger hardened, yet it is a wise
and judicious move. The train that, in
speeding to make up the lost minutes or
hours, IS wrecked at a cost of numerous
human lives, with all the tragedy attach
ed to each, has paid fearful price for
the convenience Of a few persons who
would have been accommodated by the
trains timely arrival at its destination, to
say nothing of the terrific waste of life
to sustain the prestige of a corporation.
general Improvement of roadbeds and
safety appliances, accompanied with ac-
lions such as that mentioned would rem
der the railroads Of this country the best
and safest in the world and would put
an end to a reign Of recklessness such
as is not realized or appreciated except

JABEZ, THE CHEERFUL GIVER
LOOMS.

N THE flftieth year OF the life Of
Jabez Hottie, the multi-million-
ARE, the thought came to him that it
might be good for his soul If he gave
away in charity some Of the money that
he had reached out and picked up right
and left since his "pickers and stealers'
had been strong enough to clutch.
Jabez had never troubled churches by
his presence and he did not know that
there is an injunction that you let not
your left hand know what your right
hand doeth.
And yet in acquiring his wealth, it
must be said that he had unwittingly
carried out the spirit Of that precept,
for many of the doings of his right
hand were Of so questionable nature
that he had kept his left hand in dark
ness for very shame. But Ito speak
fair) If the right hand had known Of
some of the deeds of the left hand it

A Warning to Thousands to Use

writes:
Il suffered with kidney trouble for
number of years and doctored until l
became sick and tired of medicine. i
vas discouraged and thought there was
no help for me One of the members Of
our lodge told me that he had been tax
ing Peruna, and it had done him SO
much good that he thought Il would
help me. SO / bought bottle on my way

before l noticed any change for the bet
ter, but my improvement was very fast
after that, and IN little while I was
feeling so much better that l could go

months and was rid OF all kidney trou-
BILE. the pains in the back were all gone.
and i felt much better all around
Andrew Cooper.
Some people do not seem to understand
that there IS any such disease as catarrh
of the kidneys. Diuretics only aggrayate
the kidneys. Peruna is not a diuretic.
Peruna is a catarrh remedy. This ex
plains why il is that Peruna cures a great
number OF kidney diseases In which the
usual remedies fail
diuretics for catarrh of the kidneys.
Such remedies only irritate ana make
matters worse. Peruna cures such cases
promptly and permanently Peruna
cures catarrlT wherever it turks in the
system, whether of the head, nose,
throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, liver
or pelvic organs.

TEN MILLIONS
FOR TEN YEARS
Such Subsidy Would Create
Merchant Marine.
TRADE FOLLOWS FLAG
1t Would Enormously Increase
Export Trade.

Baltimore. May 2s.-The Merchant
Marine commission appointed by congress
and composed of members of that body.
for the purpose of making recommended
tions for legislature in regard TO the re-
storation of American shipping met here
today.
Bernard n. Baker, former president of
the Atlantic transport company, spoke in
behalf of ship subsidy, maintaining that
congress should make an appropriation
each year for a number of years for the
upbuilding of American shipping. He
further suggested that this should be
made subject to contract being entered
into by public proposals SO that no citi-
zen or corporation would have any undue
advantage under such a contract the
owners of these ships would not be al
lowed to transfer them to any foreign
flag for a period of twenty years, and
the ships would always be at the COM
mand of the government for transport
service. He declared that trade would
follow the flag" and the subsidizing of
the marine would enormously increase the
export trade. Mr.. Baker said that he
believed the amount to be set aside year.
ly by congress should be SO 0o00G0 per
annum, and that if this were done he be-
lieved that in 10 years, 100000 tons would
be added to American shipping
The next witness was Joseph T. Foard,
who opposed the general subsidy plan for
encouraging the building of ships as be-
ing impracticable. He said that he would
recommend liberal mail contracts amend->
ed navigation laws and a builders or
owners bonus of so per cent in cash upon
the commissioning of ships completed
within two years of the passage of the
act, and diminishing at the rate of )
