THE GOOD OLD WAY.

A severe cold or attack of la grippe is
like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it.
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treas
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers, backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure severe cold in quick time. 1t
will cure colds in children or grown peo-
pie. 1t relieves the congested organs,
allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it. 1t
is invaluable in household Of children.

FIGHT ON GRAIN INSPECTION
New Law of the Badger State Is i OF Pop
uiar with Elevator Men in
Minnesota.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 4.-Superior
and other Wisconsin interests on the
one side and Minnesota interests on
the other, have lined UP for a fight
over the Wisconsin grain inspection,
the law for which is now in force. The
Wisconsin grain and warehouse COM
mission has retained Senator George
3. Hudnall as leagal advisor in the
controversy, and the Superior Board Of
Trade has ..Kewise engaged counsel.
Duluth and other Minnesota people
who have control of the elevators here
have announced that Minnesota in
spectOrs will Ofticiate for them under
the private house arrangement. No per-
mission has been granted by Wisconsin
authorities for outside inspection, and
it is held that permission is necessary
before such inspection can begin.

AFTER THE SMOKE TRUST
Washington Official Quietly Gathers
Statistics of the Tobacco Business

Milwaukee, Aug. 4.-The Sentinel
says: "a. C. Muhse, of Washington,
a high official in the bureau of corpora
tons of the department of commerce
and labor, who is at the head of the in
vestigation of the tobacco trust, left
Milwaukee after spending several days
in the city quietly gathering statistics
on the tobacco business done here.
"When the entire investigation is
finished the report will be made di-
rectly to President Roosevelt. The data
sought in Milwaukee was largely that
bearing on the competition in the trade,
the prices and cost of production of the
various brands, methods of distribu-
ton, and other similar phases of the
business

Look For Happiness.

Some one has said that we find what
we are looking for in this world. If
that is true, and it is true in GER
tain measure, how very much better
and more wholesome to be looking for
kindness rather than Sights, for hap
piness rather than misery, for the
flowers of life rather than it's thorns
says Woman's Life. Even when these
things seem impossible you may think
them SO, and by the power of your il
lusions make them come true. Illusion
and disillusion are to the mind what
rose colored and blue spectacles are to
the eyes-illusion the rose, disillusion
the blue. 1t may seem sort of child's
play to hold so fast to that which may
be mythical, but anything is worth
while which makes for happiness and
peace

Taft's Welcome to Manila.

Manila, Aug. 7.-Manila's welcome
to Secretary Taft and party exceeded
all similar demonstrations in the past
by either American or Spanish Of
ficials. Governor General Wright's
address of welcome at the government
house expressed the feelings of Amer
leans and natives on the return Of
the former governor general, and the
arrival of Miss Alice Roosevelt. Sec
while replying for himself and party,
almost broke down. The scene was
impressive.

SUIT FOLLOWS A SUICIDE
Man Whose Wife Killed Herself Wants
$4,000 Damages from the Other
Man in the Case.

Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. frank
Powell, city engineer, prominent Ma
son and club man, has started a suit
for $4,000 damages against L. 2. Phil
lippi, head of the Phillippi Directory
Publishing company, charging alienia-
ton of his wife's affections and re-
sponsibility for her suicide last April
In his petition Powell tells a dramatic
story of the attention paid by the de-
PENDANT to his wife Mabel, who was
one of the most beautiful women in
Lacrosse. Details of an instance in
which the plaintiff attempted to s4.oot
Phillippi and the woman in the for
mers apartments were brought out.
Two days after her infidelity was dis
covered Mrs. Powell sent a bullet
through her heart, dying il. the arms
of her husband.
Powell alleges that Phillippis atten-
tons to Mrs Powell covered a period
of four years, and that she finally be-
came demented because of them and
ended her life. Powell while suing for
$4,000, says he cares for no monetary
redress, butwill show Philippi's black
ness to the world. Phillippi formerly
was in the directory business in Rock
ford, H., and has compiled directories
for most of the larger cities in the
nOrthW est.

How Paul Jones Countered.

When the English government de-
nounced John Paul Jones as a pirate
the American naval hero neatly coun-
tered. He replied that he had looked
in the dictionary and found pirate
defined as IAN enemy of mankind"
and, "as England was then at war with
the whole of America, the greater part
Of Europe and much of Asia, not to
speak Of a bit of Africa, she in point
OF fact came as near being the enemy
Of mankind as could we'll be conceived
and that England was therefore the
pirate ard not Paul Jones'"

Napoleon as a BOgy Man.

Thackeray once saw Napoleon on the
island Of st. Helena The nOvelist-he
was born in Calcutta in 1811-was on
his way to England as child. Our
ship touched at an island where my
black servant took me for a long walk
over rocks and hills until we saw a
man walking In a garden. That is he,'
said the black man; that is Bonaparte.
He eats three sheep every dcy and all
the little children he can lay hands
on" That black serving man was not
the only person of the time to believe
the story which he told.

A Poor Man of Mutton.

A ''poor man of mutton" is a term
applied to shoulder of mutton in
Scotland after 1t has been served as
roast at dinner and appears as a broil-
ed bone at supper or at the dinner aext
day. One of the former earls of b.,
popularity known as .Old Rag" was
indisposed at hotel in London.
When one Forming the landlord came
to enumerate the good things in his
larder and to prevail on his guest to
eat something. his lordship replied,
Landlord. l think 1 could eat morsel
Of poor man." This, together with
the extremely unprepossessing appear
ance of his lordShip's countenance, is
said to have so terrified poor Boniface
that he fed incontinently from the
room and tumbled headlong down
stairs.

Perfect Manners.

Politeness is perhaps instructive with
some, but with the majority it is a
matter Of training of the slow and care
full discipline of voice and eye and
carriage. Under this training all the
angles of personal vanity and self con-
seriousness are rubbed off, the person
becomes adorned with grace ease, gen.
tleness and simplicity, and what may
seem to the unframed observer as the
perfection of naturalness may be sim

barrassment.
These ceremonies concluded a lunch
con was served. In order to avoid any
unusual questions of precedence the
luncheon was a buffet collation.. Thus
was avoided the seating of the guests
at table With the president. The party
in attendance at the luncheon num-
bered about twenty-five. Shortly after
the luncheon President Roosevelt took
leave of the ENJOYS and returned to
shore in q launch. His pennant was
lowered and another salute was fired
as he left the ships side.
From the Mayf1Ower the japanese
ENJOYS and their suite were con-

parture Of the president the Mayflower
and Dolphin weighed anchor and start
ed on their journey to Portsmouth, n.
