Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1905-11-17

The most deadly instrument
known to mortal man is the human
tongue. Dynamite is not in it as
a trouble breeder. 1t is the hair
trigger of the vicious. The less
brain back of it the freer the
action. 1t strikes heavier blows
than a prize fighter or a mule.
kicking down hill; it causes more
heartaches than a tax collector.
A tongue can make a sore spot
for years. The crimes charge
able to the tongue are criticism
unkindness, gossip, lying, scandal
malice and hate. The aggregate
of sorrow and murder. Don't
wag your tongue.

1t is hard to remember figures,

STRAWBERRIES AS A CURE.
Contrary to Tradition the Fruit Is
Z Said to Be Eficacious in
Rheumatism.

That strawberries are injurious to
rheumatic persons is as old a tradition
as that tomatoes Clove apples) are con-
ducive to love. But against science no
tradition is safe. 1t is now asserted that
the strawberry is the real thing in
food for rheumatics. Linnaeus, 1t IL
said, kept himself free from rheumatism
by eating Strawberries. Fontenelli, an
other naturalist, attributed his longev-
ity to strawberries. He resorted to them
as q medicine and would frequently say:
IF can but reach the season Of straw
berriesI"
Borheave is said to have classed the
strawberry with the principal red fruit
remedies containing iron as we'll as phos-
phorus, salt, sulphur and sugar.
It has long been tradition that the
chief demand for horse chestnuts has
come from persons who believe in their
efficacy as a cure for rheumatism, or at
least q palliative In rheumatic affections.
Strawberries have heretofore been
barred, but II they have all the merits
now claimed for them, or indeed any of
the merits, the bars will be down and
will stay down permanently.

the employment Of women is 10 .
great extent q matter Of sentiment
and not one Of good business prin-
ciples. A large number Of women ap-
pointed to once here have secured
their places through influence with
politicians who favor them for the
purpose Of providing a livelihood for
some needy but necessary constitu-
ents. The chief Of q bureau employ
ing perhaps the largest number Of
women in the service has this to say
regarding. them:
IF the work Of the government was
done by men alone there would be
better results at perhaps one-third the
cost. I am not now dealing in guess
work, but from actual experience COW
ering many years. know l should be
called all sorts of names and subject
ed to all kinds of criticism IL should
say so over my own signature, but
there can be no question that the
presence Of so many women In the de-
partments here exercises a wholly
demoralizing effect that is reflected in
the scandals with which the public
has been edited Of late years.
Il say fatty that woman is out oi
her sphere in industrial and official
life. l do not mean to contend that
there are not some admirable women
earning their bread both in private
concerns and in the government, but
have myself in my bureau two women
who perform efficient service and
more than earn their salaries, al
though they receive $1,000 per annum
There are others getting $1,000 a yeal
who would not be receiving more thar
six dollars a week at the outside al
any department store in the city and
they are not worth q penny more Il

COUNTRY BEHIND GLASS.
Florists Bring In Bits Of Field and
Forest for window Dis
plays.

In the midsummer the town florists
keep their shop windows Just as at
tractive as in spring. In one window.
filled with field flowers, noats al will a
company Of bees and butterflies.
Thudding Of the black and yellow bees
against the glass draws attention to
the window that has not already been
won by country bloom or light laden
butterfly wings.
Thoroughly pleasing is the window
which has been converted into a gar
den Of decided landscape pretensions.
Grass seed is sprouting over the gently
undulating lawn that covers the entire
floor Of the window. A grove of dwarf
maple trees fiourishes in the back
ground. Below the grove lies q lake.
On the water float various kinds OF
little water plants About the rim OF
the lake runs a border Of shrubs and
vines.
A picturesquely arranged pool OF
water is a favorite ornamental device
in window arrangement among the
florists at this hot season. The pool OF
one window is surrounded by palms
One palm is tipped forward so that a
great leaf dips half way into the wa
ter.
Green is the keynote Of all the win
dows. Ferns fill the background and
sides, cover the flooring and hang sue
pended from the ceiling. The pots ot
the ferns do not show from the street
The effect is one mass Of unbroken
green.

Soft Wood Mada Hard

Soft woods can be made into hard
woods for all practical purposes Of in
dustry, since a Freachman has shown
the world how to overcome the su-
preme difficulty which put the ban up
on the soft woods. This difficulty Is the
rspidity with which wear and decay
occur around the spikes and bolts.
The invention by the French engineer
Is Of exceptional merit In overcoming
this by q device consisting Of q screw
dowel composed Of cylindrical piece
Of wood formed into q screw with an
exceedingly wide thread. A hole Is
bored In the center to admit either Q
screw bit or ordinary spike. The dow
els are made Of well seasoned and
creosotsd beech or birch wood.

THE PROHIBITION POLICY.
But . Single Break in Thirty Years
In the Record Of Stand
ing Alone

It has been for more than 30 years
the assertion Of the prohibitionists
that the solidity Of their party lines IL
due to the policy of standing alone
and standing together" Whatever
Concessions TO expstiency other parties
may have made by the nomination Of
candidates belonging to other organi-
xations, the prohibitionists have con-
sistently since 1871 dominated only
members Of their own party, entirely
regardless Of the vote which they could
poll.
The single break In this record OF
consistent nomination Of candidates
foredoomsd to defeat was In New York
in 1909, when, under unusual circum-
stances, the prohibitionists for the
first time put an opponent on thsir
state ticket, nominating John Cunneen
for attorney general He was the
democratic candidats for that once
and the prohibition vote Of New York
In the election, which was 20,0oe, was
sufficient to secure the success Of Mr.
Cunneen and thus break the prohibi-
ton record.
In the next year, 1903, there was nc
state election. and in 1904 the prohi'
bitionists resumed their former policy
OF nominating only their own candi'
dates and had a nominee of their Owl
for attorney general against Mr.. Gun
neen, whom they had supported at thu
previous election.
This prohibition candidate, Mill
man by name, pollei 21.O27 votes, the
full prohibition strength, and the Gun
neen nomination Lecame In fact q
closed episode. The apprehensiens oi

ducing perhaps in general outline the
famous Sans Souci" castle, or the
new castle at Potsdam. The plans and
all the details have not yet been COM
pleted, nor has it been decided just
how much money is TO be expended on
the new house and grounds. Baron
Speck Won Sternberg, the German
ambassador, has discussed with the
authorities in Berlin the plans of the
embassy and a decision will be reach
ed as to the arrangement Of the house
and its cost. 1t is probable that soon
after his return construction work
will begin.
The present home Of the embassy
on Massachusetts, avenue has been
found entirely inadequate to meet the
needs of the ambassador. The dining
room is SO small that it will not &C
commodate more than 20, which
proves a severe tax upon the
hospitality of the embassy, as it
makes necessary a constant series OF
small dinners. When Emperor VII,
liam's brother, Prince Henry, was
here some three years ago he was en-
tertained In the house and saw for
himself how small the quarters were.

little South American demagogue has
cast at the United States and his

ner.
Castro has really gone to work to
get some sort Of navy and has just
bought 100000 worth of guns in
France and Germany with which to
fortify his sea ports. 1t is also re-
ported that he intends to make a tour
of the adjoining republics, Bolivia,
pose Of arousing them in opposition to
the United States. This is all q
chimerical dream on the part of this
adVenturer, but the United States
may yet be compelled to administer
to him a good, sound spanking. There
is ample excuse for interference in
the treatment which Castro has given
the New York and Bermudez Asphalt
company which has been cheated out
OF the concession for which it paid
well 1t is not likely, however, that
the United States will send any war
ships to Venezuela to settle the claims
of q private corporation. 1t is certain
If Castro continues in his insulting
course and any American citizen
should be maltreated or denied rights
he is entitled to then the United
States will step in and give VeneZue
La q good trouncing.
Castro has shown some shrewd
ness in the purchase Of his muni
tions of war, as he has made these
purchases from countries that have
claims against Venezuela and he
doubtless counts on the buying Of g
bill of military goods as a sure way
. to check any disposition on the part
of these powers to press the claims OF
their citizens. He has bought vessels
from England and guns from France
and Germany.

that he proposes to make systematic
and thorough investigation to ascer-
tain what remedies can be applied to
the present system and what legisla-
ton, if any, is needed to better the

The first knowledge Secretary Bona
parte had of the death of young Co
hen on board the Yankee, which re-
suited from participation in a boxing
bout came through the public press.
This angered the new secretary who
is of the opinion that such important
events should be Immediately com.

be the Judge as to whether all its
horrors and uncertainty as to its re-
sponsibility. A court-martial is to be
held which may develop where the
responsibility lies for vessels getting
into the condition of the Bennington.
It is said that a quiet investigation
has revealed a very unsatisfactory
condition of engines and boilers in a
number Of other vessels Of the navy.
The death of the blue jacket on the
Yankee has been somewhat of blow
to naval athletics. Secretary Bona
parte is satisfied that the death was

two embassies in that section will at

that will be the fashionable center OF

Some 20 years ago Great Britain

Connecticut avenue in a section which
at that time was anything but at

and swamps. The property, however
seemed to be adapted to the wants oi
Great Britain, she obtained title tc
it and erected a substantial building
which is now one of the interesting
sights of Washington. The boom
which the location of the British EN-
bassy gave to real estate is well re
membered. Consul General Wynnt
of London, then a newspaper man II
Washington, desired to make small
investment in that section OF the
town and attended an auction. sale o.
some vacant property near the EN-
bassy. He did not buy and in relating
his experience said to his wife:
Mary, the fools are not all dead

looking at sold to-day for 40 cents
