The December issue of Everybodys

attract attention, not only because Of
the sensational interest of it's in
stallment Of Thomas w. Lawsons
"Frenzied Finance" but through the
distinction and excellence of its gen.
eral contents and the beauty of its
illustrations. Some of the best fic-
ton writer's before the public are reps
resented within its covers. There
are stories-and good ones, toby

MAY PAY KENTUCKY A VISIT.
President conditonaIIy Accepts an In
vitation.

NltdtlOn.
WASHINGTON. 49, President Roose.
welt received an invitation to visit
Louisville, Ky, next spring, and he
gave a conditional acceptance.
The president told his visitors that
unless there should be an extraordi-
nary session of congress next spring
a subject on which, he added, his own
mind was not quite clear-he prob.
ably would go to San Antonio, Tex, to
attend the annual reunion of his old
regiment of rough riders. The presi
dent said he expected to visit, on his
way to San Antonio, Roswell, Ga,
which was the home of his mother
1t is likely that other stops may be
made on the trip to Texas. From San
Antonio the president may take a trip
into the mountains of Colorado to get
some shooting. The hunting eXpedi.
ton may consume two or three weeks.

RUSSIANS ARE REPULSED.
Toxic Hears that Effort to Retake Hill
Results in Failure.

TOKIO-The Russians are nightly
attacking 203Meter hill in a deter
mined endeavor to retake the summit
of the ground in contention.
The Japanese are increasing their
defenseS on the position and have sue
ceeded so far in repelling all the as
saults. The Russians have suffered the
heaviest losses and it is estimated
that they have sacrificed 5000 men in
an effort to recapture the ground
which the Japanese are confident of
their ability to hold.
Observations indicate that the gar
rison is feeling the shortage of men,
The works against Srugshu noun
tain and the forts to the eastward are
progressing speedily and all indica-
tons point to an early general as
eault, although the date when it will
begin is kept secret.
Il is expected that the next general
assault will prove successful.
The effective bombardment of the
Russian battleships in Port Arthur
/ which began on Saturday last. was
one of the results of the capture OF
| 203 Meter hill. Up to that time the
warships had been able to seek shelter
from the Japanese fire under Peiyu
mountain, but the capture of 203
Meter hill November 1880 enabled the
Japanese to train their guns on the
Russian vessels, with the result thai
number of them have been set or
fire and the others must either put t.
sea or suffer irreparable damage.

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children
Because They are Healthy.

because lhey are 7edlthy.
Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true Of other articles of food. What

agree with others.
But food can be so prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.

how weak the stomach, can eat, relish

THE FIGHT BEGUN
HOUSE GETS AFTER THE CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION.
MAY CUT THE APPROPRIATION
No Definite Action, However, Was
Agreed Upon-Five Hours Given Up
to Discussion Of the Legislative
Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON-T annual fight
on the Civil Service commission was
begun in the house Thursday during
consideration of the legislative appro.
priation bill The opposition came
from Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia, Hep
burn of Iowa and Grosvenor of Ohio.
Mr.. Hepburn moved to strike out
the entire appropriation for the com
mission and it's force of clerks, at the
same time denouncing the civil service
as not having improved since the days
of the spoils system, but on the con
trary, growing less and less efficient.
The discussion brought out some
semi-humOrous comment on the last
presidential election. 1t related to the
lack of votes which were cast for
Judge Parker Mr. Williams of Mis-
sissipi and Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio par
ticipated in this feature of the debate.
The session lasted five hours and
fifteen minutes. The legislative bill
was scrutinized carefully in con-
sonanco with the presidents recon-
mendation against extravaganza. Mr.
Bingham, in charge of the bill, re-
quested constantly to explain some
appropriation. The pay of the com
mittee stenographers of the house was
reduced from $4,000 per annum to
$4,000 and the house refused to accept
the provision increasing the pay of
the secretary to the Civil Service COM
mission. But little progress was made
on the bill.
The senate held only a short session
Thursday and adjourned until Mon
day.
An attempt to secure consideration
of the pure food bill was defeated by
a demand of Mr. Aldrich that the bill
be read at length, which brought an
objection from Mr.. Tillman, who did
not want the time consumed. Mr..
Tillman brought the case of William
ID. Crum, the colored man nominated
for collector at Charleston, S. c., into
prominence by asking for a report
from the committee on judiciary as
to the status of recess appointments

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
Matter That Gives Roosevelt Mucn
Concern.

Observation-Disclosures Roosei
welt is confering daily with members
of both the senate and the house of
representatives on the subject OF
tariff revision and how the work shall
be accomplished. He has found that
strong opposition exists to considera-
ton of the subject by congress at an
extraordinary session to be held next
spring, and it can be said that the idea
of calling an extraordinary session for
next spring practically has been aban-
doned. 1t has been pointed out to the
president that it would be nearly i'm
possible for the committee of congress
to prepare tariff measure for pre-
sentation to the house before July /,
next.
Representative Watson Qnd.) had a
conference with the president. While
no decision yet has been reached re-
garding the revision of the tariff it is
pretty we'll understood now that if
revision should be decided upon, an
extraordinary session of congress will
be called, to meet next fall.
The subject will be taken up at
that session, and its consideration
probably be taken up and concluded
| at the regular session next December
| This arrangement, it is believed. will
enable congress to dispose of the
tariif question at comparatively
early date in the regular session.
