Mr.. Stewart is man who, like Lin
coin, was hampered in his youth by pow
erty and privation. He was born in a
log house, thrown on his own resources
in his very early boyhood, made his own
way thru college without assistance, be-
gan his career as a public speaker be-
fore graduation.
Almost Immediately after graduating
he began to devote his attention to the
liquor problem. He was made chair
man of the Illinois State Prohibition
| committee in his tWenties, and his sue
cess was so signal that he was called, to
the national craftsmanship a year or two
later. In 1902 he won the distinction
Of being the only prohibitionist who was

Slaves OF the
Inside Nerves

Our lives from moment to moment, de-
pend on set of tiny delicate nerves,
which are SO small that fifteen hundred
of them could lie side by side in an inch.
Ten times more tender and sensitive than
the pupil Of the eye. ~
q Yet, night and day, unnguided and UNI
seen, these little nerves: must keep the
stomach; the heart, the kidneys, in
healthy action For. these organs have
no poWer-no self control The power is
in the nerves. The nerves are the mas
tiers. The organs are their slaves. !.
Understand first that we have two en-
walk, OF talk, or act S we call into play :"
certain set OF nerves-nerves which obey
our mental! commands. That is why the
arm can be raised, or the mouth opened,
or the eye shut, at the slightest desire.
That is why your fingers can delicately
pick un pin one moment, and hold a
heavy hammer the next. 4
But these are not the nerves we are to
consider here. 'a go 80 n
. It is the inside nerves that manage and
govern and aetuate the heart and the
all of the vital functions You, cannot
control these nerves. By no supreme ef-
fort OF mind can you make your heart
stop or start-nor can you even make It

that happened to him while he was trav-

down a hill driving a cart, the side Of
which had been lettered with the word
"O'Brien'' The letters, however, had
been displaced, and the visitor, seeing
this, said to the driver jestingly:

"O'Brien is my name," was the ready

"Ah,'' replied the other, "is that so?
There is nothing to show it.
Yes was the reply, tits on my cart

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against

necessary to give the child dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder OF the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the oId-fashicned castor OIL,
and see that 1t is fresh, as rancid OIL
nauseates and has tendency to gripe.
IF this does not check the bowels give

STRANGER TO THE FLAG.
Backwoodsman of Alabama Who Had
Never Seen the National
Emblem.

A man was discovered in Coosa cOun-
ty, Ala, last winter who had never seen
the American flag. What is more, he
had not the least perception of what it
meant and was much astOnished when
this was explained to him.
The incident happened in the longleaf
pine country in which the kaul lumber
company is operating, near the little
backwoods town of Juniata. A party Of
the government foresters was encamped
in the woods beside the road. A large
flag tied to saping pine announced the
site as a government camp.
One evening a little old man came
down the road driving a yoke of steers,
and stopped to inquire whether the
party would like to buy some pork. He
got out of his cart, sat down on stump,
and after moments conversation, his
eye caught sight of the flag on the sap
ling. He looked at it in puzzled way,
then asked what it was. The men
thought at first that he was Joking, but
it was soon apparent the question was in
good faith.
That's the American flag, man.
Haven't you ever seen the flag before?'
No, he had never seen a flag OF any
kind before. He had heard there were
such things, and once he had seen pc
ture of a flag on poster, but that was a
long time ago, and he had almost for
gotten about it. He had lived in the
woods all his life, and had never been
more than 13 miles from home. He
wanted to know what the flag meant
and listened in silence when this was
expained to him He did not know how
to read or write, and had never heard
that the Fourth of July was any differ
ent from any other day.-Collier'

SLUMP IN MEDAL MARKET.
It Is Stated That English Decorations
Are Now Being Sold at Cut
Rate Prices.

All markets are liable to fluctuation,
and that for war medals is just now
experiencing a violent swing back of
back of the pendulum. That these SOU
venirs will eventually recover their
former values scarcely admits of doubt,
says the Kansas City Journal. For one
thing, they grow older and historically
more important. For another, there is
always the possibility that drop in
prices may induce fresh lot of collect
ors to enter the arena. For the mo-
ment, however, the market is some
what upset by the death Of great col
lector, who spent freely. Dealers with
an eye to the main chance bought con-
siderable quantities of medals, and for
time turned them over again at
good margin of profit. Now they find
slackened Demand and themselves the
holders of goods on which they cannot
realize anything like the prices at
which they acquired them. There is
nothing for it, apparently, but patience
Unique examples are probably quite
worth their money to-day, but they
must possess exceptional associations
OF this type are the bugle and four
medals of Trumpet Major Juy, who
sounded the charge at Balaklava. They
were sold in 1898 for 9781. AS much
as e. ,0S1 has been given for the pen
insular gold cross, but that was prob
ably exceptional, and $3.50 is later
figure. When Nelson won the battle of
the Nile, Alexander Davidson was SO
annnVod thof modal nrnCQnt06
to England's naval hero that he had
one struck on his own account, in gold,
silver, bronze and pewter. The gold
specimen which he gave to Nelson was
sold three years ago at the King street
rooms and brought ESQ. For the Vic
tOrian cross the highest price obtained
at the same mart was 100 guineas. This
was given to a member Of the Shannon
| naval brigade, and is doubtless more
valuable on account of the exceptional
| character of the act of gallantry which
is recorded. The trophy, it is interest
! ing to record was once pawned for five
| shillings. To-day a Victorian cross is
| worth from $40 to ESQ.
South African war medals have been
| dumped on the market When they
were first issued they were worth e5
at auction. Now medal with six bars
can be got for ten shillings. Crimean
medals with four bars are to-day sc
| per cent cheaper than they were five
years ago. The highest price paid fol
a private soldiers Peninsular medal
was for one with 13 bars. This brought
SO guineas, and afterward ESCAPED" in
the post. Old Indian medals are high
ly esteemed, and an officers. worth in
| trinsically something like half crown
has been known to fetch G66. The fal
at the present time, as has been sug
gested, is among the more mediocre
class of decorations. Collectors Of med
ais are numbered by the hundreds, and
therefore, there is level of values be
yond which descent is practically i'm
possible. Perhaps the kindest way o.
putting the present position is to say
that there has been pause in the up
ward movement, and a sagging which
was inevitable, pending the entry O
