from an unbiased standpoint the
dangerous tendencies in Ameri-
can life" says the Norfolk Dis
patch, "Mr Mcclure enlisted the
service of an editorial staff con-
sisting of Ida M. Tarbell, proba-
bly, the most talented woman
writer of history that this coun-
try has produced: of Ray STAN
nard Baker, whose reputation
for the clear and popular pre-
sentation of difficult topics of
4 scientific and abstract nature
is worldwide: and of Lincoln
<Steffens, a man who stands at
the head either of the class OF
literary men who possess a nose
for news or of newspaper men
who have a turn for literature"

Golf PLAYERS, left Shoulder.

The right shoulders of persistent
golfers coats have to be padded, for
golf develops the left shoulder so abb
normally that, without this padding,
the young men would look little de-
formed.
In driving, the players right arm
and shoulder only guide the balls
course; 1t is the left arm and shoulder
that do the work. Hence the exces-
sive left side development, to counter.
act which it is sometimes necessary
to put In the right shoulder of the
coat padding an inch deep.
Tailors can always tell a golfer by
this peculiar development of his left
shoulder Sometimes young women
play enough to get uneven shoulders,
too. The deformity, though. is rare
among young women, whereas among
young men It is common.

Keeping Store in South Africa.

An English trader who recently in
vaded the wilds of Swaziland, South
Africa, to establish a store for traffic
with the natives thus describes the be.
ginning of his merchandising: IL set
up shop under the bucksail in the
long grass, with sackful of blankets,
beads, jewsharps and tobacco, which
we had carried. Within an hour or
two | heard wild shouts, and looking
up from my work of cooking scenes
on a gridiron over the open fire, saw
half dozen naked Swat men war
dancing down the slope of hill which
shut us in on the west side, brandish-
ing assegais, long knives and knob
kerries in wanton gayety and light
heartedness. They had come in curl
osity from their kraals near by. ex-
hibited my wares, they whistled
through their teeth with surprised de-
light and danced off to return later
with mealies, hens and sweet potatoes
to offer in exchange. Such was the
inauguration of our new store"

Coffee Known for Centuries.

A pamphlet published by an Arab
sheik in 1866 sheds light upon the or
igin and early use of coffee. This
Arab sheik asserted that coffee was
introduced into Arabia from Abys.

teenth century and that 1t had been
known as beverage in the latter
country from the most remote period
Its peculiar properties were taken ad-
vantage of by the Mohammedans in
connection with their prolonged relig.
ious ceremonies, but its use as de-
votional antisoporific stirred up the
fiercest opposition on the part of the
orthodox element of the priests. COT.
fee was declared to be an intoxicant
and was accordingly prohibited in the
koran. but i'll spite of this the coffee
drinking habit spread rapidly. For
two centuries the worlds supply of
coffee was obtained from the prov.
ince of Yemen in southern Arabia,

cultivated.

1t will be noticed that the Ex-Gov-
ernor says he has not had occasion to
use Peruna for other ailments. The
reason for this is, most other ailments
begin with cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other
ailments.
This is exactly what every other
family in the United States should do
keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide them

Rough Riders to Have important
Place at Inauguration.

WASHINGTON President ROOse-

parade on the fourth of mex March
will be a squadron of picked men
from his old regiment of rough riders
the first United States volunteer
cavalry. Colonel A. O. BrOdie. COVER
nor of Arizona, and Major w. H..
Llewellyn. formerly of the rough
riders, took luncheon with the presi-
dent. and arrangements for the guard
of honor were made at that time. 1t
is the wish of the president that Col
onel BrOdie select from the members
of the regiment a squadron of from
thirty to fifty men to act as his spec
al escort on Inauguration day.
The president desired Colonel
Brodie to inform the members of the
rough riders that he would attend the
annual reunion of the regiment at San
Antonio the latter part of next March.
and after the reunion. the president
probably will take a hunting trip with
Major Llewellyn.
