Whatever the pesslmism ~ others

Roosevelt stlu has hope that peace

would scarcely continue his extraordi-

has taken steps that are without pre-

by the attitude he maintains toward
both nations and n his relation 20 the
neutral powers generally aud they
have been accepted by the helligerents
and by the world at large az a con-
splcuous expression Of tho more lofty
peace sentiment that is now presumed

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct. 16-(SpeciaL)-
That a sure cure has been discovered
for those sciatic pains that make so
many lives miserable, is the firm opin-
ion of Mr.. D. S. Colson, a well-known
resident of this place, and he does not
hesitate to say that cure is DOdd's Kid
rey Pills. The reason Mr.. Colson is
so firm in his opinion is that he had
those terrible pains and is cured.
Speaking of the matter, he says:
Il am only too happy to say DOdd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots Of
good had awful pains in my hip so
l could hardly walk Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. / think they
are a grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are

cause removed there can be no Rheu-

HENRY SL.AGE DEAD.
The Noted Spiritualistic Medium Dies
in 4 MICHIGAN Sanatariun, Aged 30.

Henry Slade, the noted spiritualis-
tic medium, who died recently in the
Bedding, Michigan, Sanatarium with
nobody to claim his remains, as stated
by despatch from there to supposed
relatives at Lockport, n. Y, was
Niagara county man. He was one or
the most noted slate writer's in the
world and created a great sensation
years ago. He exhibited his weird
and so-called occult powers before
most Of the crowned heads of Europe.
Some of his performances, it is said,
baffied the close investigation OF
scientists.
Henry Slade was about 80 years old
at the time of his death. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Slade of
Johnson's Creek, and was born IN
that little hamlet in the town of Hart
ford, Niagara county, when most OF
the county was a wilderness. Thu
SHADES were among the first settlers.
Henry attended the district school and
later went to a local seminary.
One of Henry's schoolboy friends
was Abe Taylor, the patriarch OF
Johnson's Creek, he is now over gu.
Mr. Taylor relates that Slade, when
a mere youth, used to exhibit his
strange powers in a manner that made
their blood creep He could make a
table with a lighted lamp lean toward
him by a mere motion of the hands.
The table, which he did not touch,
would incline to an angle Of 40 de-
grees, yet the lighted lamp would
maintain it's equilibrium and never up
set. He could place his hand on top
of a piano when q years Of age and
lift both piano legs off the floor.
Over animals he presented mar
veloUs influence He was known as
a great colt breaker and bull tanner.
He used to entertain his young
friends by slate writing and many OF
them held him in absolute awe.
Slade left Lockport when about Il
and began his tours later. In New
York he turned away great crowds.

Queens and their courts gave him

Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR?
Has your greeting lost its cheer?
Is your daily stunt a burden?
10 your laughter half a sneer?
There's medicine to cure you,
There's way to lift your load,
With horse and a saddle and a
mile of open road.
Is your eyeball growing bilious?
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life a blind delusion,
Or a grim, unlovely sport?
There's a world Of health and beauty,
There's help that cannot fail,
In day behind the burros,
On a dusty mountain trail.
Come out, old man, we're going
To land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies are resting
On a snowy mountain marge.

You will find yourself again,
