A nephew Of President Franklin
Pierce has found an autograph letter
written by Jefferson Davis to Pierce
among documents inherited from his
uncle. Davis wrote from the Senate
chamber under date Of January 80,
1860, saying:
THE prospect for our country is not
less gloomy than when you left. l will
stand by the flag and uphold the con
stitution whilst there is a possibility
Of effecting anything to preserve and
pe%rpetuate the government we inher-
tied. Beyond this my duty and faith
bind me to Mississippi and her for
tunes as she may shape them"

An eminent physician SAYS that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to. 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 a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, ever by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
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
thai the physician who personally
questions them.
fyou 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
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are consta tly pouring in.

one Of which rose at Mukden.
Then came Khitan from Hulan and
he established the Lao dynasty and
Mukden, not yet A very notable place,
but already b~attle-tossed, passed into
other hands. Afterward the Jurchin
had their try and they established
the Kin or golden dynasty and made
Mukden a great trading post on the
central highways.
These highways extended up to the
boundaries of the savage tribes on
the north-into He-lung-kiang and
far along the Amur River-extended
south to modern Picking, to Hankow,
to Canton and even into India.
Princes of the royal blood left Muk-
den in those days of the beginnings,
and made two and three year pill
grimages to India to learn strange
things from wise men and to trade IN
jewels and fabrics.
Fifteen hundred years after Christ
was porn Nurhachu had his chief seat
of government in the south of the
Long White mountain, about 100
miles east of Mukden. Mukden itself
had then risen to be one of the most
important trading points of the
North. 1t has been stated that it's
annual volume of business rose into
the millions, and that the wealth and
fashion of the North congregated
there to bargain. play politics, love
and hate.
Army Was Slaughtered.
In 1916 Mukden saw a wonderful
army for those days before its gates.
Nurhachu had taken to himself the
title of "heaven-decreed," and de-
clared war on China. An army of
100000 was sent against him, but, as
the chroniclers related afterward:
He slaughtered all; none returned
to say of how their end came"

tions and at the same time avoid con-
ferring upon the Interstate commerce
commission or any similar body power
over railroad rates.
The Foraker bill, however. provides
for anjoning the publishing and

joining any determinations forbidden
by law, whether as between shippers.

whether effected by means OF rate.

While this does not confer upon the
court power to fix the rate II does au-
thorize the court TO say what is an un-
lawful rate ana how much Is lawful.
and to enjoin the carrying party from
charging more than is found to be
lawful. The bill also Is designed TO
prohibit the giving OF passes. to allow
free access to railroad documents and
to meet complaints as TO rates on ex-

MORGAN WON'T
OBSTRUCT
IN FAVOR OF PUSHING
CANAL TO A FINISH

Washington, d. c.. Nov. "a
Il shall be in favor of voting all the
money that President Roosevelt may
want to push the canal ahead as fast
as possible, and the faster he pushes
II the better | will be pleased. But at
the same time IL he goes so fast that
ne butts his head against a stone wall,
do not want to be held responsible
tor that"
Thus spoke Senator Morgan when
asked In relation to his attitude on the
question of providing money for the
Panama canal. Mr.. Morgan did not
care to make any comment on the
question of a choice of routes for the
canal. the consulting engineers having
decided in favor Of sea-level canal.
1t is well understood that the COM
missions recommendation is to come
hefore congress for its approval. as
the money formerly appropriated was
with the understanding that the canal
was to be built with locks Mr.. Nor
gan said that until he sees the recon-
mendations and the reasons that led
them to decide upon a sea-level canal
he could not make any comment on
their action.
VIII Take No Obstructive Course.
The senator at the last session of
congress said he did not propose to
take any obstructive course in relation
10 the building of the canal. The
Panama canal was determined upon
in face of his opposition. but when
congress finally gave its verdict In ia
vor of that project he merely wished
the project we'll although was withf
out faith In the feasibility Of the
plans that had been adopted. He an-
nounced then and reiterated today
that he favors backing up the presi-
dent In his efforts To build the canal at
Panama. II Is well known that Mr..
Morgan does not believe that a sea-
evel canal Is practicable to build and
he does not believe that lock canal
AZ Panama would prove practicable 70
maintain.
Representative Hepburn. chairman
of the committee on commerce Of the
house of representatives which com
mlttee has charge Of canal legislation.
lisO stated today that he had not yet
had an opportunity to view the recom-
mendations Of the engineers and
I therefore could not form an opinion
as to the merits Of their reeommenda-
ton that the canal be a sea-level
work Until he could learn more Of
the reasons that animated the en-
/ gineers he could not form an opinion
in respect to Il.
This sentiment was generally ex-
| pressed today by men who will have
something to do with the discussion In
/ congress in relation TO the canal II
/ Is generally believed that whatever
may prove to be the view of men ~
/ congress who have studied the canal
problem thew will be inclined to sub
ordinate their opinion In respect tc
the opinion OF the commission.
