Grover and the Women,

Having "done it," Grover CIeve-
land is reaping the consequences Of
again assailing the fortress Of female
suffrage. In a few words, Mr.. CleVe-
land is in a ''stew," and if he takes
the time to read what re-
noWned female suffragi3ts are saying
about him in print he is liable to re-
greet his haste. 1t is a wise man who
stays out of an argument with a
woman and a recklessly bold one
who enters into a controversy with
hundreds of women who have sharp
tongues as well as sharp in~tellects.
Among the "heavy gunsn that
All be distinguished in the general
volley of replies which Mr.. Cleve-
lands paper in the Ladies' Home
Journal elected may be mentioned
Susan B. Anthony and Carrie Chap
man Gait. Mrs. Gait always did
seem to have a peculiarly apt name
for her line of usefulness, but we will
let that pass as a mean fling. Susan
B. Anthony annihilates Mr.. CIeve-
land with the assertion that "We
don't ask any man to find the God
given sphere of women" Without
pausiDg to consider that woman's
''God-given sphere' may be that of
clothes, it is easy to e that Susan
means business.

OF POETRY.

The Cleveland Leader refutes the
position taken by many these days
that poetryis dead. Says our contem-
porary:
"Two or three times every year
somebody publishes a magazine
article whose purpose is to prove
that poetry is a thing of the past.
This is an unpoetical age, say
these writers, and except for a few
sporadic, leftover lyrics there will
never be any @ poetry worthy of
the lame. Mankind, We are told,
has outgrown it and seeks anew and
more elastic form of expression. All
of which is very interesting, but
not true. There is just as much
poetry and poetic feeling in the
world to-day as there ever was; per-
haps there is more. just at the
present time we lack great inter-
prefers of that feeling, but we shall
not lack them for long"
The truth is that this is such a
busy period, and people are SO absorb
ed in their strenuous business, politi-
cal or social affairs that they x
perience difficulty in finding time to
caref Iy read anything which does
not bear directly or indirectly upon
these affairs, and hence poetry as
such is not SC widely read as
was a generation ago. Another
reason why it is not SO widely read
is that education during the last few
years has taken decidedly a more
practical turn than formerly, and
where one person years ago pursued
the studies of art, literature and the
languages, thrse now. pursue the
studies of science, engineering and
mechanics.
But there is still another reason
poetry is not SO widely read and con-
5equently isso spariDgIy written: The
average poetry which is produced
these days is fatally without merit.
as poetry. A good deal of it jingles
well, butisd void of real poetic
Much of the stuff In the
magazines these days masquerading
behind the name OF poetry is barely
a good deal more, stale and
unproftable, and still more utterly
hopeless.

In the treatment Of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh, Hyomei
acts almost Immediately Upon the
infamed membrane and the hearing
begins to return at once.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful.
I have used it but a short time and
see a great change in my condition.
My hearing Is impl owing rapidly,
and 1 had no idea / would improve
so rapidly in so short a time. My
breath which was very offensive to
myself and others, has lost it's bad
odor entirely. I have spent a great
deal of money with catarrh special
lists, and can truly say that six
months of their treatment is not
equal to one month of Hyomei."

Hyomei upon the unusual plan of
agreeing to return the money if the
medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only $1.OO,
and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, a
dropper, and a bottle of
Hyomei.

vate talk by ourselves on business;
nobody else please read.
You want TO know how to do a
cheap job of painting, and have 1t
look good. Here it is He cheapest
thing there is IN the way of a good
looking job-say nothing about its
being good is Devoe : the regular
thing in DeVOe.
The reason is +: Devoe goes further
than anything else Lead-and-oil is
g~ood-looking ; don't go SO far and
costs more. Fhe other paints are
more OF less short in one way or
another; don't go SO lar and costs
more than DevOe.
Devoe costs least of all; you don't
mind its lasting longer, do you? We
can't help it; a plant that goes
further fasts longer; we can't help
it.

No More stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t gives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's aid,
The food builds up the body, the rest
restores the stomach to health. You
don't have to diet yourself when taking
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. j. D. Erskine,
of Allenville, Mich, says: 81 suffered
with heartburn and stomach trouble for
some time. My sister-in-law has had the
same trouble and was not able to eat for
six weeks. She lived entirely on warm
water. After taking two bottles OF Ko-
dol Dyspepsia Cure she was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and is in
good health. l am glad to say. Kodol

Tonic to the System.

For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Little Early Risers, the famous little
pills. They do not weaken the stomach.
Their action upon the system is mild,
Lafayette, Ind, says: "No use talking,
DeWitt's Little Early Risers do their
work. All other pills have used gripe
and make me sick in the stomach and
never cured me. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers proved to be the long sought re-
lief. They are simply perfect" Persons
travelling find Little Early Risers the
most reliable remedy to carry with them.
