Hyde Sought Ambassadorship.

It is now stated on excellent au-
thority that James Hazen Hyde once
marshaled influences that are general
ly most potent in public affairs to Sc
cure for himself appointment by the
President as successor to Gen. Porter
as United States ambassador extraor-
binary in Paris. The matter Was seri-
ously undertaken and most earnestly
pushed. It was not joke or a half
hearted movement, but a dead set was
made on President Roosevelt. All the
wires he could have manipulated were
pulled. Some of the biggest men in
the country backed him. President
Eliot, Of Harvard, spoke a good word
for him. President Roosevelt sent for
this favorite Of so many. The chief
magistrate looked over the aspirant
and put him through his PAGES and the
end was that President Roosevelt
bluntly declared: "This man will not
do." So ended the hopes Of Hyde

MAN STILL HAS THE CIGAR.

Woman Has Usurped Most Of His
Other Vices and Privileges.
The advancement of woman by leaps
and bounds continues. First, we had
the womens clubs; then the womens
hotel, with bell girls and "lady" por-
ters, and later the Woman's Down
town launching club. There is one
young woman living in the vicinity
Of Madison square who is still ages
ahead the rest of her sex in the race
for equality with man. She wears
mems shoes, a four-in-hand tie, and a
dress that is as near an approach to
a suit of clothes as the laws of dress
making will permit. She carries her
umbrella as a man would his cane,
2nd her walk is close imitation of
the Harvard strut. The other day one
who passes constantly through the
park on her way down town saw this
concrete example of advanced woman
hood sitting on a bench, writing a
letter instead of reading the paper,
while she had her shoes shined. The
passer-by looked by instinct, as it
were, for the cigar in her left hand,
but that, fortunately was reserved for
a still more remote period of feminine
development.-N York Post.

Cure to Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept 18th Especially
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Eyes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after I was in bed for eight months
and I know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time star ted taking them
l was able to make my garden. No.
body can know how thankful I am to
be cured or how much feel owe 10
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodds Kidney Pills and nine-tenths
of the suffering the human family is
heir to will disappear.

Reporters Joke With Loeb.

When some of the newspapers were
printing funny stories about William
Loeb, private secretary to President
Roosevelt, during the last campaign,
alleging that he was the champion
blame-taker in America because he
was always so willing to assume re.
sponsibility for anything that went
wrong at the White House, Mr.. Loeb
laughed with the very men who wrote
the yarns. But one day his patience
was taxed. The Presidents train had
been delayed seven hours between
Philadelphia and New York while he
was going to Oyster Bay. Next morn
ing one of the New York dailies had
these flaming headlines: "President's
Train Waterbound-Loeb Not to
Blame" "See here, boys" said the
secretary next morning at Oyster Bay,
that's going too far" every we'll,
said the reporter who had written the
story, "I'll~ correct it tomorrow and
say you were to blame. "-Chicago

MOSQUITOES ARE KILLING BIRDS
Attack Them at Night and Suck
Their Blood Away.

IneIr Blooo Away.
Scores of canaries and other birds
in Baltimore, Md, are the victims of
the merciless attacks Of mosquitoes.
Great numbers of birds become weak
and die as result Of having the life
blood sucked from their bodies by the
insects at night.
"Scores Of birds die in this city
each year." said James A. Graham, a
canary fancier, "of the attacks of
mosquitoes. Several years ago l
noticed that the legs of my pets were
swollen and the skin cracked and
sore. The birds perceptibly shrunk in
size and were almost dead when it
was suggested to me that mosquitoes
had something to do with the trouble.
Il at once set to work, accepting
the mosquito theory as the correct
one. The cages were covered with
net to keep out the pests, and as an
extra precaution the legs of the birds
were dipped in oil of pennyroyal, red
cedar and other remedies with per-
fectly satisfactory results The insects
can bite through the feathers of the
canary with perfect ease. All birds
when they sleep during the summer
spread out their feathers, making it
easy for the long-billed mosquito to
reach their bodies.

Clover Blossoms.

Let's rest here in clover deep!
Vain regret and care will keep!
Woo the sky, with all it's blue,
Simmer of the sunshine; too!
Song of river, laugh Of child;
Steep the soul and battle the feet
Let's forget all weary things!
Woo the blossoms and the wings
Where the bending azure meets
ArgOsies of silver fleets!
All the world is full Of joy;
Take it as a child its toy
Fling its fever and unrest
Down to the deep ocean breast.
OF life's yesterdays. Today
Gods glad promises hold sway,
In the rivers rush and ken
OF the happy hearts of men!
Woo the sky, with all it's blue,
Simmer of the sunshine too;
Steep the soul and battle the feet
In the clover blossoms sweet!
Wading in the clover sea
Well clasp hands with memory!
Let her lead us swift along
By the golden chain Of song:
Leaning, list'ning the refrain
OF the robins trill again!
All, the voices loved Of yore,
Say not they will come no more!
Speaking with us as tits meet
Mid the clover blossoms sweet;
knowing only that we miss
Tender tones we called our own
On the throne of love and home!
SO we steep our souls to-day
In the blossoms DER the way!

TRUTHFUL F URN C ES
INTENSE HEAT. PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded In Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
!. the Crucible Of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan, the eminent SCI
enlist and inventor, has actually sue
ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubtes He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace, which has
been SO improved that q degree OF
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly factor in the formation OF
minerals and gems in the interior of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts Of the SCI
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on small scale as fine specimens as
| natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series Of
new compounds. Probably the one of
most value to mankind at large is Cal
cium Carbide. The simple applica-
ton Of water to Calcium Carbide gen.
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light
ing.
The peculiar merits Of Ecetylene
light are it's brilliance and high can
die power, ease of installation, eco
nomy and its adaptability for lighting
buildings of every description, regard

the blood. Trying to make the matter
clearer, he said: Now boys, if stood

a remarkable daughter and beauti-
full daughter as we'll, growing up
through the years. And now I want
to make up for neglect and for the
time that have lost. Come with me-"
''But I would have to give up my
mother" the girl hesitated.
"You can visit her Often" her father
said eagerly. "Of course you cannot
live with her. 1t would not be pleas
ant for any of us. I know how much
she has done for you, but it is my turn
now"
Pableta looked from one to the 9TH
tears were swimming, but it was not
for her to say the word that would in
fuence her child's decision. Pableta
must choose for herself. 1t was years
of devotion set against the promise of
future and the choice lay with the
child.
Dick Worley and his divorced wife
stood side by side in the wings when
the girl went on the stage. Pableta
had never sung more sweetly and the
mother listened to the exquisite voice
with every sense alert as though she
feared to lose sound. Richard Wor-
ley was proud of the girl, proud to
think that she was his daughter. And
| as she sang, he planned the happiness
that he would give her.
Again and again they called Pableta
back, and when she came upon the
stage for the last time Mary Worley
had gone in front, and her eyes were
dim with tears, tears of happiness in
Pableta's triumph, tears of sorrow for
the child whom she might soon lose.
For the last time Pableta advanced
to the footlights. She lifted her young
| head and looked, not at the crowd in
| the house but straight toward the box
where her mother sat. And the young
voice began, sweet and clear and infin-
| itely tender, sweet old song that a
past generation loved and sang-"My
Mother, Dear" Mary Worley leaned
forward, the crowd and the triumph Of
the night forgotten, for there upon the
stage was a girl, a wonderful girl, who
was singing to her. Pableta was sing
ing the simple song for which her
mother had asked. And, sweetest
thought of all, she was singing more
than the song. She was telling her
mother that their lives were to lie to.

that wealth and ease and a beautiful
