THE COAL WAS DELIVERED.
Dumped 1t Into the Wrong
Hole.

A confectioner at AIS Fourth avenue or
dered three tons Of coal to be delivered
the other day. A driver, with a three
ton wagon, went to the store late in the
afternoon, lifted a big iron cover in the
sidewalk near the curb, and chuted the
three tons into the dark hole. Then he
drove away, says the New York Times.
The confectioner went down to the eel
lar in a little while to bank the coal. He
found none. He wondered for some
time, as he remembered seeing the coal
wagon in front of his store, but he told
the company he had received no coal.
The driver went down to see about it.
Whats the NATTER" he asked. You
got your coal. What we kickin' about"
Didn't get any coal. Come down into
the cellar and see."

agony. THAT amt the coal hole.

RAILWAY RUMoR.

The German government railways EN-.
ployed 559,451 persons in 1908; the num-
Der of locomotives in use was 20,845.
The total length of the Russian rail-
way system on January IA was 37,571H
miles. In 1904 there were thrown open
to traffic 679 miles.
The final spike in the railroad from
Canton to Samshui was driven the other
day. But before it had been driven
down "a hours it was stolen by the Chi
neSe.
English railroad directors give prizes
to station masters who keep the best Gull
tivated flower beds at their respective
stations. Some of the gardens thus
maintained are beautiful.
In 1898 the butter hauled over the Min
neapolis & st. Louis railroad was AGO.
900 pounds. Last year it was nearly H.
600, 900, the gain coming wholly from de-
velopments of creameries along the rail-
road.
A report from Teheran, the capital of
the shah's empire, is to the effect that
the Persian government is negotiating
with Russia for the purpose Of building
a railroad from the Russian frontier to
the capital of Persia.
Traffic through the railway tunnel at
Port Huron, Mich, will soon be handled
by six electric locomotives. The third
rail system will be used, with the rail
placed at the side of the tunnel to avoid
accidents to workmen.

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that 1T
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sur to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements OF
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent, scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning
or deposits like brick dust in it; un-
usual thirst, swelling ofhands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose nc
time in combating the disease with
/ Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo
mans ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

Tips to Trusts.

The Standard Oil company has found
out that it raised the price of kerosene
higher than the most profitable traffic
will bear. 1t made more money selling
refined petroleum a little cheaper. and
1t has put back the price. The sugar
trust has been having the same expert
ence. 1t has found that when it has
raised the price Of sugar too high the
public retaliates by eating less sugar.
1t is an economic law that the price of
no staple commodity can be raised be-
yond a certain point without reducing
the consumption so that the total re-
ceipts are diminished more by smaller
purchases than the increased charge
c~ompensates. If the trusts would be
satisfied with reasonable profits, and
would use their great possible econo-
mies for the benefit Of the public, the
clamor for legislation against them
-nuld diminish. IN. Y. World.

LATE POLITICAL COMMENT.

Every republican will o have
to decide whether he is a Roosevelt
republican or a corporation-trust re-
publication.-Pueblo (Col.) Chieftan.
After the administrator has reg
ulated railroad rates it might bring out
its biggest stick for interests that cor

THE democrats are making it
plain that they do not intend to run
away from the democrat platform
merely because a republican president
sees fit to get on that platform.-The
Commoner.

all along have insisted that there was
no grating in the P. O. u. are low

that the grating so rampant in the P.

compared to the logic of the admins

Commenting upon the beef trust
decision, the Springfield Republican
(Ind.) declares that 1.-The present de-
cision of the court only makes more
glaringly defective its opinion in the
Knight, or sugar trust case, which per-
mitted incorporated manufacturing
combinations to escape the law alto
gether. Evidently if the beef trust con-
Germs were incorporated they might be
prosecuted for seeking and accepting
special railroad favors, but they might
otherwise do everything charged
against them in this case and escape
prosecution or restraining orders. This
presents an a%bsurdity in judicial con-
struction which calls for correction"
Whatever may be the differences
of opinion as to the merits Of the con-
troversy between the president and the
senate, it ought to be a cause Of graf
ification to the American people Of all
parties that they have in the senate
an Independent body jealous and cour-
ageous in maintaining what it deems
its constitutional rights against the
encroachment Of executive power.
When the senate does not hesitate to
quarrel with the personal interests of
Its members, as o. this occasion. there
will be no cause to distrust it in any
great emergency. The senate has, in
a word, proved itself worthy of the
body in the best days Of its history

GREAT AMERICAN BECGARS
The Overfed Trusts Are Great at
Clanoring for Government
Protection.

There used to be a paper published in
Arkansas called "The Thomas Cat" It's
chief claim to remembrance was its mot
to: God help the rich; the poor can
beg" And this. says the Kansas City
Star, is worthy to be recalled if for no
other reason than that the very, very
rich have confiscated to their own uses
even that dernier p%rerogative of the very
poor-begging.
Were there ever such a lot Of beggars
not even sturdy beggars"-as the
great overfed trusts of the United
States? They are the misery sort Of
beggars who whimper and whine at the
thought of a shrinkage of their hoard.
They beg for protection" They cry
in terror that they cannot do business
if n title of their privileges is abated.
With absolute shamelessness they call
themselves Infant industries" They
correspond to what the s%choolboys in
Missouri call "lummixes'-"stand up
and fall do~wns"-who tell ma" if some
little freckle-faced kid strikes them.
Men who have so many millions they
do not know what to do with their plum
der will tell committees of congress or
of state legislatures that if they are not
given help, which a poor man would
scorn to take, they will be utterly ru-
ined. They have a hand out" for every
conceivable form of charity. and Mr..
Tom Lawson was accurate in his de-
scription of the type when he said, hui
morously, that a certain Standard Oil
millionaire would fall on a two-dollar
bill like a furnishing tiger"
Charles Lamb, writing in staid, dig
nified England, in its most restful Pc
Rod, complained of "the decay of beg
CARS in the metropolis" Translated to
another age and country he would have
had no regretfui sympathies for the rich
beggars of Wall street-whimpering
when they stand alone holding out a hat
for pennies and bulldozing when they
work" the countryside in gangs.

TAFT'S STRONG SUPPORT.
Material in Connecticut Which Would
Furnish Him with a Stirring
Argument.

While Secretary Taft does valiant
battle for the Filipinos before the ways
and means committee of the house, 90
900 bushels of onions in the Connect
cut valley stand ready to lend him
their support, says the Chicago Post.
Mr.. Taft asks that the Filipinos be
permitted to send his tobacco into the
United States through a breach repre-
senting about a quarter the height of
the Dingley tariff wall. But the Con-
necticut farmer-who does a little to-
bacco growing himself-stands glow
ering behind the wall and says to the
secretary: Hands Off"
At this point the Connecticut onion
advances to the fray and the farmer
would be wise in listening to it's argu-
ments. Onions are now worth a dol
lar a bushel. This does not affect the
Filipino. who knows little or nothing
about onions, but it should appeal to
the Connecticut farmer, because there
is much more in onions at a dollar a
bushel than in Connecticut tobacco at
present prices.
Now, if Secretary Taft, even for a
moment, can divert the attention of
the farmer from the tariff ON tobacco
to the strenuous ~pleadings of the Con-
necticut onion, he may get a break in
the wall large enough to admit a bale
OF Philippine tobacco before the farmer
has got through wiping his eyes and
depositing the proceeds of his bumper
crop of the odoriferous vegetable.
Every now and then there is a touch
OF pathos in Secretary Taft's pleading
for the Filipino; and, if he could get
the Connecticut onion-at one dollar q
bushel-before the committee for a few
minutes, victory for the Filipino might
be won amid tears of joy from the Sec
rotary and of necessity from the com
mittee members.

%REALIoNMENT OF PARTIES.
Democracy Now Being Promoted by
Bryan Will Be Well
Recruited.

The Washington Post has an inter-
in which it expresses the belief that
the democratic party being pro-
NOTED by Mr.. Bryan will have a larger
contingent of republicans in it than
had the tri-partite combination that he
led in 1896; this as indicated by the
recent agreement of Roosevelt and
Bryan on public policies. 1t continues:
THAT Mr.. Roosevelt will Intentional
ly essay the role Of wrecker of his
party is impossible even of suspicion.
That, without such intent, but with a
firm purpose to strengthen his party
by keeping it up to its duty as the rul-
ing power of the nation, he may fall,
and by his failure promote an exodus
of the radical element. is not by any
mean impossible. President Cleve-
lands experience with the democracy
is a suggestive lesson.
But, regardless of what President
Roosevelt may or may not do, we have
no doubt that there will be something
like a realignment of parties in 1908;
that there will be a formidable organi-
cation of the radicals of all parties I'M
der the democratic name, and that the
conservatives will rally under the re-
publican standard. The magnitude of
the inevitable republican detection will
depend very much on how many and
which of it's mistakes and offenses the
republican party continues to stand
for or to stand pat on"
1t ought to be added, says the In
dianapolis News. that the number of
new additions to the republican party
in the realignment will also depend
on the mistakes and the offenses for
which the party shall continue to stand
pat. If it still show itself the faithful
guardian of privilege, stiles tariff re
form and an advanced rate regulation
and generally writes itself down as for
the classes against the masses, its new
recruits will be few.

THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some.

It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts, for it is sometimes
humiliating to think Of afterwards.
when l was a young girl l was a
lover Of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and l did,
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink it again as he did
not think it was the coffee caused the
troubles.
80 I commenced it again and con
tinued about 6 months until my
stomach commenced acting bad and
thing the size of an egg. One doctor
said it was neuralgia and indigestion.
zone day I took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and l drank a cup Of coffee for dinner.
/ thought sure / would die before I
got back to town to a doctor. I was
drawn double in the buggy and when
my husband hitched the horse to get
me out into the Doctors office, misery
came UP in my throat and seemed to
shut my breath off entirely, then left
all in a flash and went to my heart.
The doctor pronounced 1t nervous
heart trouble and when | got home I
was so weak I could not sit up.
my husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof-
fee, but l said: Take that back, dear,
I will never drink another cup of COT
fee if you gave me everything you are
worth, for it is just killing me- He
and the others laughed at me and
said:
"'The idea Of coffee killing any
body
"'Well,' I said, 1T is nothing elsa
but coffee that is doing it,
"In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and | made it
for dinner and we both thought how
good 1t was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we laughed and told
them. Well we kept on with Postum
and 1t was not long before the color
came back to my cheeks and I got
stout and felt as good as ! ever did In
my life. I have no more stomach
trouble and I know I owe 1t all to
Postum In place of coffee. :

DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT BY
ST. VITUS AND GRIP,

Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange
Spells of Numbness and Weakness
Receivers Perfect Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Ida L. Brown had st. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable sen
s%ations, which she recently described as
follows:
some hand, half of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
These feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times a day. Besides I would
have ~palpitation of the heart, and my
strength would get so low that 1 could
hardly breathe. AS time went on these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
Show did you get rid of them?"
sit seemed for a long time as if 1 never
could get rid of them. Tt was not until
about six years ago that I found a remedy
that had virtue enough in it to reach my
case. That was DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since an.

dreadful attacks of dizziness. I had tc

Ward, Ark, March 6th.-(Special)-
From all over the West reports come of
cures of different forms of Kidney Dis
ease by Dodd's Kidney Pills and this
place is not without evidence of the great
work the Great American Kidney Remedy
is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. J. V. Wag-

interview, says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills
have done wonders for me. My kidneys
and bladder were badly out of order. l
used many medicines but got nothing to

l have been well ever since"
"Tell the poor kidney and bladder dis

and get we'll"
No case of kidney complaint is too far
gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure.
They are the only remedy that has ever
cured Bright's Disease.
