morning, before you had aired out the
place. Your ears must have burned
when we were talking about you.
If you want to get an idea OF Ma
ples,- at its worst, go down into your
cellar and round up all the goldfish,
onions, kraut, limberger cheese. kero-
sene, rotten potatoes, and everything
that is dead. put 1t all in bushel
basket. and just before the health Of
ficers come to pull your place get
down on your knees. and put your
head down in the basket, and let some
one sit ON your head all the forenoon.
and you will have, just such half day
as dad and l had in the poor quarter
of Naples, and 1t will not cost you half
as much as it did US, unless. after
you have enjoyed yourself in your Gel
lar with your head in the basket, you
decide to have run Of sickness and
hire doctor who will charge you the
price of a trip to Europe.
Well, sir. Naples is a dandy, IN Its
clean part. The bay Of Naples Is o
dead ringer for Milwaukee bay, IN
shape and beauty, but Milwaukee lacks
Vesuvius and Pompeii. for suburbs,
and she lacks the customary highway
men to hold you up. Every man, wom-
an and child we have met makes a
living out Of the tourists, and nobody
that I have seen works at any other
business.
We woke up the first morning and
dad looked out the window and saw
Vesuvius belching forth flame, and
lava, and stone fences, and wanted to
turn in a fire alarm. but told him
that that fire had been raging ever
since the Christian era, and was not
one OF these incendiary barn burnings,
but he opened the window and yelled
fire. and the porters and chamber
maids came running to our room, with
buckets Of water, and wanted to know
where the fire was. Dad pointed out
OF the window towards Vesuvius and
said: "Some hired girl has been start
ing fire with kerosene, In that shan
" on the huOil OuI IucIc, anu ShC
whole ranch will burn II you don't
turn out the fire department, you gosh
blasted lazy devils. Get move on,
and help carry out the furniture"
Well, they Gained dad, and then
had to go to work and post dad up
on the geography he had forgotten.
and finally he remembered seeing
picture of a volcano or burning noun
tain in his geography 80 years ago, but
he told me he never believed there was
a volcano In the world, but that he
always thought they put those pictures
in Biographies to make them sell.
How q man can attain the prominence
and position in the business world that
dad has, and not know any more than
he does. is what beats me.
OF course you know. having kept

opportunities to study history, by the
,pictures on the soap boxes and insur-

SAVED cHILp'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, June l9.-The case Of W.
s. Taylor's little son is looked upon by
those interested in medical matters as one
of the most wonderful on record. In this
connection his father makes the following
statement:- .
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent that he could not walk
or put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to
do him no good, and two or three, people
said his days were short, even the doctors,
two Of the best in the country told me he
would not get better. / stopped their
medicine and ut once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. / gave him three Pills. a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end of the eighth day
the swelling was all gone, but to give
the medicine justice, | gave him eleven
more Pills. / used thirty-fve Pills in all
and he was entirely cured. ! consider
your medicine saved my child's life. When
the thirty.fve Pills were given him. he
could run, dance and sing, whereas before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms
from morning until night"

so it seems the Chinese boycott of
American goods is being enforced in
our own country. Because of the law
which fOrbids Cinnamon who are sail
ors on vessels coming to our ports to
come ashore it is the custom in the
American ports on the Pacific to allow
peddlers, fruit sellers, etc. to go aboard
of the steamers coming in with sailors
OF this nationality aboard. The other
day the Pacific liner Manchuria reach
ed San Francisco, and when the usual
crowd Of peddlers and other dealers
reached the deck they found posted
everywhere notices of the boycott Of
American goods and warning the Chi
hamen against violating it's terms. The
consequence was the vendors could not
make a single sale of their goods. We
do not believe in opening the gates of
this country to the horde of Cinnamon
who would come in were admission I'M
restricted but at the same time we
cannot blame those people for resent
ing the name in which we 1aurit our
superiority in their faces.

THE LATE SENATOR MITCHELL.

The death Of Senator Mitchell of
Oregon relieves the senate OF a rather
embarrassing situation. He had been
convicted of defrauding the govern
ment and his case was pending on ap-
peal to the higher courts. The ques-
ton Of his right to occupy his seat
pending the appeal has been settled by
his death. What the members of the
senate think of the matter and what
were his relations to hat body afta.
his conviction are shown by the fact
that it was decided by the officials Of
that body and the friends of the sena-
tor, upon hearing of his death. that no
further notice should be taken in the
senate of his demise than a bare an
nOuncement of the fact by his col
league; that no eulogies be pronounced
Oh him i'll the senate and that body
should not be officially represented at
the funeral. This is the first instance
since there has been such a body that
it has taken this course on the death
Of one of it's members.
Senator Mitchell was a republican.
His term of office would have expired
March 4. 1907. The governor of Ore
gOn is Il democrat. This means that
for awhile that state will have one
democratic senator.

GOVERNMENT COTTON CROP RE.
PORT.

OF Congressman Webb's bill for
daily reports of the cotton crop esti-
mates by the census bureau the Char
lotte Chronicle says:
Congressman Webb's success in his
movement for daily cotton reports APP
"a TO have been spontaneous. Direc-
tor North. Of the census bureau. an
nounces that he will forthwith pro-
coed to put the plan n execution.
We are satisfied that once the daily
reports are started, the good effects
in a more stable condition of the mar
ket will become SO manifest that they
viii not be abandoned.
In another column we publish the
text OF the bill introduced in congress
by Mr.. Webb, providing for the issu-
ing of these reports.
The Fall River cotton manufactu-
rers are greatly dissatisfied with the
governments present manner of CIV
ing out these estimates. They prefer
no government reports at all. An Of
icer Of one of these mills is quotel
by the American Cotton Manufacturer,
of Charlotte. as saying:
THE immediate effect of the report
in this manufacturing center has been
to reduce the wage margin six Der
cent. to stifie the demand for cloth
and to upset the calculations of mill
mon who have been trying to buy cot
TON from southern planters at some
fixed price. kilograms received from
the south today show that planters are
relying or the accuracy of the govern
ment eport to such an extent that
they will not offer their product below
the speculative figures fixed on the
New York exchange. and in most in
stances they say that they do not care
to accept orders at the top prices, for
the present at least"
