PUBLIC MONEY WELL SPENT.
Irrigation Work OF Vast Importance
to the Country

l have notion that this govern.
ment cannot spend money to better
purpose or produce better results than
by providing irrigation works in such
arid places as those of the southwest
ern portions of the United States. And
| confidently look to see the day when
the national appropriations for irriga-
ton will go hand in hand with those
for navigation, rivers and harbors, for
tifcatlons, and the army and the navy.
While all these are necessary. irriga.
ton is also necessary. And. while
they make possible our national ex.
istence and increase in population and
wealth, irrigation makes them certain.
Congress can, in my opinion, do moth.
ing that will so surely add to our
national prosperity as the expenditure
of large sums in irrigation works.

Ex-Congressman Joe Walker of Wor.

committee at Boston in opposition to
the advocates OF statue, bust or me-

his townsman and friend of half a

so. Incidentally he made the in.

ly, especially when lie smiled; full
faced there were proofs that he could
be iron and relentless.
But his eyes Big, black, glittering,
fanatical, ever moving they were, and
you caught them never but for a mo-

you think of lightning and thunder

olive green serge, with one star on his
cap and three stars and three stripes
on his sleeve. His boots were good.
His sword hung in his left hand-un-
clenched. His other hand looked
nerveless.
Not once did he shift his weight
from his right foot-only the sole OF
his left foot ever touching the stone
tagging. He is the most remarkable
looking man I've seen thus tar among
the Japanese Scribner's Magazine.

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy Used by Mr.. schroeppel and
by Captain Lalfour in Great Demandin
Vicinity of Their HOmes.

| The Remedy Used by MIR. SchroeppeI and
by Captain LaIfour in Great Demands
vicinity of Their Homes.
In the winter of l902-3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at
tack of rheumatism. His DOCTORS treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain" said he, " during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother n woman eighty years Of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation ] gave MP
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in it's place"

care there no traces left?"
Absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal Of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppels neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel's case,
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis

Small Only IN Stature.

Lack of inches has been a common
popularity among Great Britain's
mentally great. Pope and Gray were
of the tiny ones; Flaxman, the father
of English sculpture, was shorter and
more misshapen than Pope. De Quin-
cey and Douglas Jerrold, Sir Charles
James Napier and Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn add luster to the list of the
lack-inches Crofton Croker, who gave
the fairy legends and folklore of Ire
land a literature, was described by
Scott, his admirer, as little as a
dwarf" Lord John Russell was so
slight of stature as to have it said of
him that he had barely sufficient body
to cover his brain. Napoleon, Wei
lington and Nelson form a triumvirate
of warriors whose stature was in in.

A report made recently by the Brit
ish Board of Trade on the naval eX-
penditures of the leading powers for
the latest available year presents in
teresting figures, The report deals
with the year ending March 81, 1903.
From the exhibit it appears that the
United Kingdom spends more on its
navy than Russia, Germany and
France spend on their combined fleets.
The British naval expenditure is more
than double that of the United States.
Russia's naval expenditure for the
year named was five times as large as
that of Japan. Russia spent less than
per cent of her revenues on her
navy. Japan spent per cent of her
revenues in this way. The country
which now spends most on its navy
next TO Great Britain is the United

exceeds in tonnage that of Russia
Germany, France, Italy the United
