way to tears on that first day.
The principal, being a wise man, quietly

momentary weakness would prove a

AS she sat there in tears, wondering, in

would live out the winter in such a daily
environment as this, she felt moist
little hand steal into her hot fingers, and
as she looked mistily through the binding

name had been familiar to her when go

room. the reason therefore being that
a Mr.. Finkelstein had a store in the
country village near her home.
That touch of human sympathy was the
one thing needful at the time, and the
little teacher, brushing away the tears,
and bathing her face, once more bravely
faced her task and the future.
Days passed quickly in the shoolroom.
Miss Saltonstall found that acquaintance
with her little Hebrew flock was not i'm
! possible and she found their names as
easy to her memory and tongue as those
boys and girls of the country district.
Little Rachel. who, she learned, was the
daughter of the cantor in the neighboring
synagogue, she came TO learn upon in a
surprising manner. Bright, alert, pretty
she found the Child full of the mystic

of her ancestors. Like many children
raised in poverty, she had been a little
mother until her fathers second mar

going to school She made rapid strides
with her English, and Miss Saltonstan
found herself more and more teaching

other scholars
The first Jewish holy day found the
schoolroom entirely deserted by the Jew

Rachel said she the next day. Il

Time slipped rapidly away until the

and Mr.. Clifford was called and consult

the form of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought
would help him out and accordingly
several doses were administed with the
result that the fellow was able to be
around next day. The incident speaks

Who'll Be Elected?
Presidential Year is Here Again
The Old Question of Who Will
Succeed Arises
Men Rather Than Platforms Count

Probably, If you are q voter, you
have preference for one or the other
of the Presidential candidates now be-
fore the people for their suffrage. Be
he Republican, Democrat, Prohibition,
Socialist, Labor or what not, there is
one thing sure: the man who will be
elected will be man of superb health
and strength mo weakling or invalid
The great men of the world are
healthy men. The weak 90 to the wall.
In the nomination of candidate for
any Office SO prominent as that of
President the health and likelihood of
his living out his term is quietly con-
sidered. il not publicly proclaimed,
before his name is ever presented to
the public. Look over the candidates
today and see il that's not true.
No man or woman can be perfectly
we'll without . sound stomach and good
digestion. No one can hope to succeed
in any vocation or position in life with
out the good digestion that waits ON
appetite"
The day is passed when there is any
excuse for one to continue to suffer
with indigestion or mal-assimilation.
The discovery of Camps Curative
Remedy, it's popular price and tho fact
that it is procurable at ali druggists,

sonality of the candidate, the opposi-
ton to them is so timid that they do
not agitate the public mind as much
perhaps as they should. The practical
and interesting issue of the campaig
is the personalit; of Preside, r, ose-
welt, which is so attractive that it is
safe to say that his pirely personal
vote will be much larger than any
other president has received for many
years.
The president has no political ST.
crets. People are not kept guessing

about great national interests. He has
nothing up his sleeve. The people

know all and then make allowances.
Mr.. Roosevelt does not pose as a
paragon of wisdom or ability, but he
is obviously an honest man, patriot.
an American, devoted to his country
and to his official duties. with we'll
known principles and designs. He is
perfectly human. like the rest of us,
and perfectly natural, which all are
not. He has breathed great deal of
fresh air and taken a great deal of
physical exercise He las red blood in
him. He has sound mind in a sound
body. He is strenuous character at
the zenith of his powers. All this is
fascinating to an American.
President Roosevelt's character as a
man of action is in almost startling
harmony with the present epoch in
American history. Every nation. like
every human being, has it's period Of
tutelage. then its period of quiescence
and repose and then it's period of de-
cay The United States, as every one
knows, are now in the growing period.
The nation is expanding because it is
its nature to do so. Nothing can and
nothing should arrest its progress by
leaps and bounds toward it's manifest
destiny. The astonishing thing is that
with the hour has come also the man.
President Roosevelt appeals to every
American and will poll a tremendous
personal vote because he is the man
for the hour.-The Chicago Chronicle.

The Chicago Tribune has been con.
Quoting d "straw vote to determine
the relative strength Of Roosevelt and
Parker Ten thousand votes have
been cast in this manner among 81
classes OF these 6,504 have beer
found for Roosevelt, 3,789 for Parker
548 for Debs and 147 for Swallow
The significant feature of the canvass
however, lies in the fact that 5000
declared that they had usually voted
the republican ticket, while 1909 de-
clared that they had usually voted the
Democratic ticket, and 422 had usual
ly voted the socialist ticket The Re-
publican gain in votes, it thus appears
ID 1913, while the democratic loss. IT,
Guiding socialists. is 420. One Of the
interesting disclosures was that the
strikers were for Roosevelt in a ratio
OF about 3 TO L. Of 80 polled only Is
were found for Parker. The canvass
is being made by experts and is
therefore the more to be relied upon
as showing the trend of public senti-
ment in the present national campaign.

The three huge trusses and the two

over the tracks. ready TO be moved to
their proper places. While the work of
moving them was progressing, aided
BY huge hydraulic jacks, the passing
OF the Boston express of the New Ha-
ven railroad caused the hydraulic jacks
to slip.
This allowed one of the thirty five
ton trusses to move and turn, falling
against the others, and produced an
entire collapse OF the iron work OF the
bridge, with the exception of one truss
on the north end.

collision had occurred. and an immense
crowd soon surrounded the scene OF

The crowded express train escaped
destruction by little more than Us own
length. just as the last coach shot
past the bridge almost the entire sttuc-
ture fell into the cut, twenty-five feet
deep. The express went on without a
