wayside Inn for Geese.

Years before the war Daniel Scott,
the owner of "Scotlands" plantation,
In Albemarle county, Virginia, began
the custom of feeding fiocks Of wild
geese each spring and summer on their
semi-annual migrations. The custom
has continued to this day, being kept
up by the descendants of Mr.. Scott.
He had special garment which he
donned when feeding the hungry birds.
and in this they invariably recognized
him.
The children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren Of the first geese
must have been well instructed in re
gard to this "wayside inn," for they
always tarry there to get provisions.
United States Senator Thomas =.
Martin is the present owner OF Scot
lands.

my wife has been sufferer from a

chronic constipation of several years

that most critical period in the life of

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Wall Streets severe action was not
due to any setback in the commercial
world, all measures of legitimate trade
showing wholesome progress, and con-
fidence in the future is mistaken. Rail
way earnings in November averaged 90
per cent. greater than in the same month
of 1908, and the distribution Of merchan.
disc is sufficiently heavy to produce
freight blockades at several points.
Manufacturing plants report increased
out put in almost every instance, except
where inadequate water supply provides
temporary interruption. This difficulty
is most severely felt at coke ovens and
paper mills in Pennsylvania. Seasonable
weather has stimulated retail trade in
wearing apparel, and holiday goods are
in great demand.
Zach week there is an increase in the
number of steel mills and iron furnaces
in operation, output steadily increasing
despite the fact that this is normally the
dull season.
Strength continues in the hide markets.
Moderate offerings of foreign dry hides
are steadily absorbed at further frac-
tional advances.
Notwithstanding the sharp decline in
raw cotton the cotton goods market has
remained fairly steady, as sellers refuse
to make concessions on goods manu-
featured from material purchased before
The decline Only urgent orders were
placed at the high level, but the statisti-
cal position is very strong One OF the
best features is the export trade, many
mills being well sold ahead on this class
of business.
Failures this week numbered 23o in
the United States, against 33I last year,
ard 26 in Canada, compared with 20
year ago.
Bradstreet's says: Wheat, including
flour, exports for the week ending De

The democratic nominee for the
presidency is gentleman ofability,
of irreproachable character, and a
worthy citizen in the best sense of
the word. All things considered
he was easily the strongest man,
bar none, who figured in the
speculation about the st. Louis
prize. His party pat its best food
foremost, therefore, III calling him
to its leadership. 1t acted in the
premises not only wisely, but logi-
cally. 1t responded to the new
combination effected by the East
and South. New York, being neces-
sary to democratic success, was
asked to name the man best assured
of victory at the polls, and it
named Judge Parker. The South
accepted him, and he is now the
candidate. On personal grounds
no criticism lies. AS man and
citizen he is as far above reproach
as Mr.. Roosevelt, and that insures
a campaign where the principles Of
the two parties will bear the weight
of the discussion. Washington

Within doors we are tolerably safe in

of the conducting power of the carbon
