could possibly recover from the terrible effects
of the disease, as you know am past the
four score year on the way to the New Je-
rusalem l am happy to state that after
suffering so long with the most painful forms
of rheumatism, that Urc-O has cured me and
nearly normal conditions exist. My former
strength is improving, and yet for all l am S.
years old, sleep well again, eat well and as
hale and hearty as man at the age Of fifty.

Thomas Moore.

Measured by the popularity and mar
ket value of his poems when they were
written, Thomas Moore has no rival
among the poets of Ireland. While en-
gagged at his Irish melodies. In which be
was at his best-for they called forth
the powers in which he most excelled-
he was paid $500 year by his pub
fishers. Their immense and well merit
ed success induced Longman to give
Moore 5000 guineas-the highest price
that had up to that time been paid for
a poem-for "Lalla Rookh." the gor-
geous eastern romance which dazzled
and delighted readers of that day. but
Is now rarely read. AS a lyric poet
Moore was, like Burns, one of the best
writers we have ever had Of words
for music" and, in his case at least,
the words are inseparable from the
music. Goldsmith. a poet of different
order and with a wholly different ex-
perience, got little popularity and less
money for his poetry, but In "The TRAY
eller'' and The Deserted Village" he
has a better chance of immortality than
his ompatriot.-London Tit-Bits.

Tickling Human Vanity.

Few people realize how profitable the
trade of tickling human vanity is and
how many different forms it employs.
There are obscure newspapers and
nominal magazines that live by 1t and
provide good incomes for their editors
1t Is quite common to find upon center
tables luxuriously bound and printed
volumes whose contents consist en-
tirely Of fulsome puffs. Each profess
sion, trade, avocatlon and association
has its library of memorabilia OF per-
sons of the kind who, in Lowell's
phrase, were created to fill up the
world. The writer remembers seeing
In the "best room" of remote farm
house morocco bound, gild edged vol
ume upon the notabllitles of the coun-
try, which contained a biography and
engraved portrait Of rusticus horribils
himself. The original volunteered the
information that his niche in the local
pantheon had cost him a sum, which,
on later conversation, was disclosed to
be larger than a years interest on the
mortgage encumbering the farm.

The ash tree is rich with superstition.
The old charataus of the middle ages
used it in their love potions, and the
damsefs Of ancient times believed that
it would enable them to make their
sweethearts true and help them to dis
cover their future husbands. The in
habitapts of Iceland still look with
dread upon the use of mountain ash as
fuel Their belief that it will make
enemies of all who gather round a
hearthstone on which it burns is deep
seated and was once almost universal
in Europe.
Superstitious seekers after good luck
may still be found invoking the spirit
of the even leaved ash, after the man
ner of the ancient tree worshiperF,
with the verses:
Even ash, 1 do pluck thee,
Hoping thus to meet good luck;
If no luck l get from thee
l snail wish thee on a tree.

The PbiIosopher,s snort.

A balloon trip gives one sense Of
utter and complete stiffness and also
a beautifully serene feeling of aloof-
ness from men and tiresome matters,
q contempt for the puniness Of earth
and an unbounded sense of sociability
and camaraderie with those with
whom one is basketed aloft in those
few square feet Of wicker. 1t Is a
philosophers JOY, ballooning, the sport
of the scientific, and the idea that it
provides new thrill or curdles the
blood of jaded and sinful butterflies
may be good enough for the halfpenny
press, but not for the wiseacres Of the
Aero club.-Bystander

The Dramatic Flavor of Wall street.

The Dramatic Flavor of Wall street.
1t Is the speculative side Of Wall
street that most appeals to the imag-
lnation. If we were dealing with that
side of Wall street we should not lack
for authenticated cases of high dra-
matte flavor, as, for example, that of
u youth of eighteen who ran 81 into
a fortune of 100000 in a few months
and was last heard of trying to pawn
his wfes engagement ring for $25;
or that of the farmer who made sew
eral millions of dollars from a very
modest beginning, slipped IA check for
100000 under the breakfast plate Of
each member of his family one morn
ing, tore the checks up because within
an hour the riches had become a mat
ter of domestic strife and was last
heard of when one day he brought u
load Of hay across the ferry from Stat
en- Island to New York and begged his
brokers 10 take it in lieu of margins
for one more trade. Success Maga-

Riverside Orange Crop Saved From
Freezing.

After two days trial to have a kill
ing frost" and each time being de-
feated by the warm north wind, the
weather bureau succeeded in locat-
ing one here on Sunday morning. At
ter sunset on Saturday the mercury
commenced to drop rapidly and at 10
p. IN. it stood at 80 degrees, or two be-
low what is called the freezing point"
Before midnight it had gone down to
20 degrees and was slowly sinking, with
no signs of the redeeming north wind
this time to head it off. The city at
this time was surrounded by a wall
of fire. and the heavy bank of smoke
lighted by the flames of the fires,
showed that the orange growers were
alive to the dangers and preparing
to defeat the Frost King in his efforts
to destroy the citrus crop of the valley.
The flame lit clouds of smoke gave a
wierd appearance to the sky but they
, fulfilled their mission and the loss by
the freeze was reduced to a minimum,
although the mercury dropped to %
! degrees by government thermometers
and in some localities went even
lower. The battle was a sharp one
! for the thermometer for eight hours
stood below the freezing point, and
while there was a trifle of frosted
fruit, the damage was, so slight as tC
! make but little difference in the com
ing orange and lemon output for the
4 season.-Riverside Enterprise Dec. 20

spiracy to defraud the United States
Government and presenting of false
accounts, in connection with the Saw
annah harbor improvement, was begun
before the United States court today.
Abraham H. Ross, of New York.
acted as the principal attorney for
the defense. He will be assisted at the
trial by Col. Medium and other
prominent lawyers.
The two defendants were brought
back from Canada on a request of the
United States Government for their
eXtradition and that fact will prob
ably be used by the defense to confine
T. trial to two counts of the indict-
nlent which are included in the terms
of the eXtradition treaty between the
United States and Canada.
There are in all four charges
against the defendants, first, conspi-
racy to defraud the United States Gov
eminent; second, presenting false ac-
counts; third, ENHANCEMENT, and
fourth, receiving money that belong
ed to the government knowing it to
have been embeZzled.
1t is maintained by the defense that
the crime of conspiracy not being in
cluded in the extraditiOn treaty, the
government has no right to try the
prisoners on the charge.
The trial will prObobly last several
days.

or cur, hero or humbug. l care not
what the world says-whether it
crowns him with bays or pelts him
with bad eggs; 1 care not copper
what his reputation may be; if his
babies dread his homecoming and his
betterhalf swallows her heart every

DIFFICULTY IN GETTING JURORS
Prosecution as Evidence Furnished
by Them Before Garfield Investi-
CATION Led to indictments.

Chicago, ILL.,, January 9.-The trial
against the beef packers indicted for
conspiracy to violate the antitrust
laws, opened today in the United
states district court. There are in all
twenty -one persons and corporations
under indictment and the hearing is
held to decide the ten special pleas for
Immunity raised by the defendants.
The verdict of the jury will only de-
eide whether the packers are to be
tried later on the main charges in
the case or go free altogether, because
under the laws they are entitled to i'm
munity from prosecution if, as they as
sert they furnished evidence against
themselves during the investigation,
and which evidence, it is declared by
the defendants, was used against
them to bring the indictment.
The selection of the jury consumed
considerable time. In all there were
200 veniremen summoned. Eleven of
the eighty-two were preemptorily chal-
lenged by the government and eight
by the packers. The jury consists of:
Joseph C. Walker, carpenter and farm
