pass primary law next winter. He
said: Interested as I have been in
rate legislation and tariff revision, ]
regret exceedingly that congress has
adjourned without doing anything ups
on either subject.
1.-THE general conclusion to be drawn,
from the situation is that the senate
ought to become more responsive to
the will of the people. 1t will always
be q sufficient check upon the house
because 1t takes two years to change
one-third of its membership, and
therefore it Is not radical to say that
in some way we must make the obli-
cation of senators to votes more direct
than 1t now is IL the views of the vot-
ers are to be carried into the law. 1t
seems impossible to change the con-
stltution, and there Is but one way
left: To enact primary election stat
utes requiring candidates for the sem
ate to be nominated by direct vote. 1t
Is the only practicable method by
which the full force of well-considered
and we'll settled public opinion can be
exerted upon congress. l predict that
this question will be one of paramount
interest during the next few years"
Speaking of inaugural and visit of

march with the other governors in the

rounded by the glitter of uniforms.
"The high school boys from Iowa." he
added, were the best representatives
we could have sent to Washington, and
they have borne themselves with such
decorum and dignity that they have
merited and received universal praise"

Men die long before their time be-

ODD STORY OF A BANK NOTE.
Refused by the Bank of England After
Twenty-Three Years.

A man who walked into the Bank OF
England the other day and laid 91C
note on the counter was surprised tc
hear the clerk say: 1--WE can't cash
this. The note was stopped twenty
three yeap ago."
Over twenty years back the note
was stopped by clerk then in the
employ of one of the provincial
branches of The London and County
bank. 1t had been brought in by an
employee of one of the banks clients
in order to be paid into the clients
account, with some loose change.
BY a strange oversight the clerk,
after jotting down the number Of the
note and after counting the change,
omitted to take the bank note. When
he discovered his error note and mes
senger had disappeared Neither was
seen again.
The clerk took counsel with a col
league at the counter, and for the sake
of their own prospects the two young
men determined to say nothing about
the affair, but to bear the loss them
selves. Each paid g. to make good
the loss and stopped the number.
The man who presented tlis note for
payment the other day haL .ound 1t
among the papers Of his father, who
recently died.
The two clerks instrumental in stop
ping the note were traced, and though
both had left the employ of the Lon
don and County bank long ago each
received back his Els after the lapse OF
twepty-three years.

TREES THAT GIVE COCOA.
Cocoanut Palm and Cacao Tree Both.
Handsome Specimens

Many of us who use cocoa and
cocoanuts daily do not know that they
are obtained from two distinct trees.
The cocoanut palm Is the fruit of
tall and graceful palm tree. whereas
the cocoa, or more properly cacao, is
the powdered seed OF a small and
handsome tree, bearing no resem-
blance to the cocoa palm. In fact.
the cacao tree is closely allied to the
linden or lime trees. No one who has
ever seen the peculiar appearance pre-
sented by the cacao tree will be likely
to mistake 1t for anything else. The
tree itself grows to height of twen-'
ty or twenty-five feet, with a rather
smooth and slender trunk, thick,
bushy and symmetrical top, and hand
some broad, oval leaves of deep pur-
pie or bronze color. Instead Of grow
ing at the end Of the branches or
twigs, as do most blossoms, the flow
ers bud out directly from the bark Of
the limbs and trunk. The flowers are
small and Insignificant, but the fruit.
shaped like cucumber, grows to a
large size, sometimes eight or ten
feet in length and three or four inches
across. 1t is brilliantly colored or
apge, red or yellow, and under favor
able conditions fairly covers the tree,
and Is a beautiful sight.

Whist Player Holding Six Best
Trumps Is Given q Surpriaa

Trumps Is Given a Surprise.
To anyone familiar with whist the
following hand is bound to look pretty
good:
Hearts-Ace, king, queen, jack, ten
and nine.
Diamonds-Ace, king and queen.
Spades-Ace and king.
Clubs-King and jack.
Hearts are trumps.
1t looks like good thing for eleven
tricks sure, and possibly for twelve.
Should any whist player of experience
get such a hand, however, says a re-
cent article in a whist journal, he will
be mighty apt to be as suspicious as
the poker player whX is dealt four
kings. 1t is what is known as
Marlborough" in whist circles, and
this is the denouement: The dealer
holds the other seven hearts (trumps)
and six small clubs to the ten. The
dealers partner holds the ace and
queen of clubs and one small club.
What his other ten cards are makes
no difference.
The partner Of the person holding
the good hand holds the thirteen other
cards, and it makes no difference what
they are. The good hand" has the
lead, and if any whist player wishes
to veryify the assertion he may try
from now until doomsday and yet not
be able to take more than six tricks
with the hand. 1t is impossible by
good, bad or Indifferent play to take
a single trick more, provided Of course
the dealer and his partner play theil
hands properly.

Mrs %Afa~me~ 0Azrs. Ella Lee

An eminent physician says that
uWomen are not truthful; they will lie
70 their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth. but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
GARD to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with. them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
lfyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
Sextended freely to women by Mrs.
fnkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

OLD ENEMY OF MAN
YELLOW FEVER LONG KNOWN
AND DREADED.
Said to Have Broken Out Among tho
Soldiers Of Columbus - Epidemics
That Have Ravaged Cities-VitaIity
Of the Germs.

The discovery of yellow fever is
said to date back to the first years of |
the discovery of America, when the |
disease broke out among the soldiers |
of Columbus in San Domingo. But
the first authentic account is Of an
epidemic which occurred in the Bar
bados in 1647. Since then innumer-
able epidemics have ravaged the cities
Of North ard South America, Central
America, and even Europe. During
the Napoleonic wars the most extern
sive epidemics occurred. In 1900 Ca
diz was visited by this scOurge, which
attacked $4,000 out of $1,000, 5000 dy-
ing in few months. One of the worst
epidemics which has ever ravaged the
United States occurred in 1853 and
extended along the Atlantic coast
through all the southern states, and as
far north as Rhode Island. One hun
dred and twenty-five thousand persons
were stricken, more than twenty thou
sand dying Of the disease.
A popularity of the germ of yellow
fever is that it may be carried long
distances and preserve it's vitality for
months. During the epidemic of 1900
in Cadiz there was an instance of this.
A native fleeing from the infected city
went to his villa in Medina, Sidonia,
and there died of the disease on his
arrival The house was Immediately
closed and the following year the arti-
cles of clothing and furniture were
sold to a dealer in junk. He died of
yellow fever in a few days and the
epidemic which followed was directly
traced to this case.
The infected trunk Of man who
had died in the Barbados of the 1is-
| ease was the beginning of the out
break in Philadelphia in 1741. The ef-
fects of this man, a Mr.. Bingham, were
| sent on from the place where he died
and the germs had enough Of vitality
| in them when the trunk was unpacked
to lead to a disastrous outbreak. In
| dividuals of all ages and races are at
tackled 1t was at one time thought
that the creole was immune, but this
is found to be a mistake. The negro
is not as susceptible as the white man
but he is by no means exempt. One
attack, as rule, seems to render the
victim immune for life. though the
immunity may be lost by prolonged
stay in a northern climate. yellow
fever is hot weather disease, beins
most prevalent in June, July and An
gust. One or two frosts may arres
endemic, though it may reappea
on the return of warm weather.

An Ex-Sheriff Talks.

Scott City, Kan, March 20th.-(Spe-
~cial. almost every newspaper tells
of cures of the most deadly of kidney
diseases by Dodd's Kidney Pills,
Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheuma-
tism and Bladder troubles, in fact any
disease that is of the kidneys or caus-
ed by disordered kidneys is readily
cured by this great American remedy.
But it is in curing the earlier stages
"of Kidney complaint that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are doing their greatest
work. They are preventing thousands
of cases of Bright's disease and other
deadly ailments by curing Kidney Dis
ease when it first shows its presence
: in the body.
Speaking of this work, Ex-Sherift
James Scott of Scott County, says:
~ have used eight boxes OF Dodd' S
Kidney Pills and must say that they
are just the thing for Kidney Disease.
We have tried many Kidney medicines
but Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
