CAMPAIGNED ON POVERTY.
How Congressman Garrett of Ten
nessee Won His Election.

nCooSC w vi Ills LtSetOh'
Finis j. Garrett, the new Con
gresham from the Ninth Ten
nessee district, explains to his col
leagues how to get here in a way
that will not help the business of
the merchant tailor. Garrett was
born in 1875. His father, Noah
Garrett, decided to give the youth
a name suggesting the end of
things, which the original Noah
had escaped. Young Finis taught
school in 1897, was admitted to
the bar in 1899, married in 1901,
and three years later concludedto
take hand in the direct primaries
of his district in an attempt to up
set the Hon. Rice A. Pierce, who
has been in Congress for fourteen
wears. To onlookers it seemed a
forlorn hope. Pierce so regarded
1t. and treated the competition as
wholly good natured.
But Finis took out his oldest
suit of clothes. They were badly
worn at the elbows, and frayed
at the wrists. In campaign meth
ods he literally had something up
his sleeve" He took the stump
on the single issue that Pierce had
been enjoying $4,000 year from
the Government for fourteen years,
enough to make a man a million
aire: that it was not fair to have
so much money lodged in one mans
hands; that the good things of life
should be passed around. The
voters of the district agreed to
this. Their sympathies were with
the seedy looking young aspirant
against any man who had drawn
such a colossal salary for so long.
Finis won out and is here in Con-
gress, where he has been assigned
to the committees on Claims, on
Education and on the Improve
ments of the Mississippi River, to
all of which he may be supposed to
bring the qualifications of an
expert. Boston Transcript.

Character shown In Work.

A foolish person builds foolishly, and
a wise one sensibly, virtuous one
beautifully and a vicious one badly.
If stonework Is well put together it
means that thoughtful man cut ii
and All honest man cemented 1t. II
it has too much ornament it means that
its carver was too greedy Of pleasure,
if too little that he was rude or in
sensitive or stupid or the like. A man
may hide himself from you or misrepre-
sent himself to you every other way.
but he cannot In his work There be
sure you have him to the utmost, all
that he likes, all that he sees, all that
he can do-his imagination, his affec-
ton, his perseverance, his impatience,
clumsiness, cleverness, everything Is
there. If the work is a cobweb you
know 1t was made by a spider, If a
honeycomb by a bee, wOrmcast is
thrown up by worm and ne;
wreathed by a bird, and house is
built by man worthily If he is worthy
and ignobly If he is gnoble. And al
ways, from the least to the greatest,
as a thing made is good or bad so Is
the maker Of 1t.

A Powerful Drug.

Cloves are simply the dried flower
buds of beautiful evergreen tree
growing naturally on the Spice islands.
These flower buds are gathered when
they have become of a bright red and
axe just ON the point of opening. The
name comes from the resemblance OF
the prepared spice to small nails, from
the French word clou, for nail. Cloves
are very heavily charged with pun
gent, acrid, volatile oil, as much as 20
per cent sometimes being extracted.
This oil is valuable for flavoring and
scenting purposes and has limite'
field in medicine, but the habit of "eat-
ing cloves" in which young folks and
too often old ones indulge, is very rep
rehensible, as the oil Is a powerful
drug, becoming in many cases an in
sidious poison.

There is one kind of vehicle that
neither the Oldest nor the youngest in
habitant has seen on the street at night
or, if he has seen it at all, only infre-
quently. That is a hearse. Every other
kind Of conveyance used by modern
man is driven about the streets freely
after nightfall-the hcIrse alone comes
under the curfew law. Early hours
seem to be imposed upon that somber
carriage by common consent. The pub
lie doesn't like to see il after dark, and
coachmen don't like to drive it. No
doubt there are hcarses that are com

Shortsighted Animals.

SO far as naturalists have been able
to ascertain there is no such thing as
shortsight among animals In a state
of nature. In the case, however, Of
domestic animals and wild ones in
confinement shortsight is by no means
unknown. Many people who have kept
dogs and cats will remember instances
of pets which were unable to distin-
guish friends from strangers at short
distance. Horses, too, frequently suf-
fer from shortsight and other derange-
ments of the vision, and this kind of
thing is sometimes met with in the case
of cattle. The diseases of the eye
which frequently affect wild animals in
captivity are to be chiefly attributed
to the marrow space in which they are
confined. The eyes are never exercised
upon distant objects and therefore lose
the powers which use of this kind calls
forth.

make you irritable; you can't sleep.
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between the shoulders;
loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia
tendency to cry at the least provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkhsm's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. NJ. E. Shotwell, of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Y, writes:

Evolution of the NeedIe.

Sewing needles of bone, stone, glass
and bronze antedate all historic rec
ords, but those Of iron, brass and steel
are comparatively modern. Bone and
glass needles have been found in Egyp-
tan tombs that are known to be over
1000 years old, and similar domestic
instruments of bronze and copper have
been found in the mounds and burial
caves of Europe and America which
are believed to be much older than
those found with the Nile mummies.
The needle first appeared in its present
form in European countries in the
year 1410, but the art of making them
was kept a secret for upward Of 150
years after the date last given. In the
year 1850 they were first made in the
American colonies, but at what point
is a mooted question among the histO-
rians

Animals, Play Is Exercise.

The relaxed rhythmical movements
so common among animals at play, the
gamboling of lambs, the play of kittens
and many similar animal activities, are

dances which form so large a part in

riginal peoples. These motions of leap

Walt whitman.

OF the days when Walt Whitman
was a nurse in the hospitals of the civil
war biographer of the poet says: He
would often come into the wards car
sying wild flowers newly picked and
strewing them over the beds like a
herald of the summer. Well did he
know that they were messengers of life
to the sick, words to them from the
earth-mother of men. And then as he
left of a night after going his last
round and kissing many young, pale,
bearded face in fulfllment of his own
written injunctions he would hear the
boys calling: Walt, Walt, Walt! Come
again, come again!"

CHILDREN
II You Have Any AiIing Ones This
Will Interest You.

1--WE see so many little boys and girls
about town who are weak, thin-legged
and hollow checked said a member
of the firm of Short q Haynes, our
we'll known druggists, "it seems
a shame to allow them to remain so for
they will grow up into weak, sickly
and nervous men and women, without
the vitality to work or enjoy life.
"If,' continued he "the fathers and
mothers of such children would believe
what we say of Vinol, we would see a
great difference in the appearance of the
ounger generation of this city. You
kno Vinol is not a patent medicine,
and is just the tonic growing children
need. 1t Will make for them good,
healthy flesh, sound bone, hard muscle,
and rich, red blood.
"True Vinol is cod liver oil pre-
par alton, but it does not contain a drop
of oil, OF any bad tasting feature. 1t
IS 20 delicious that all children love
i'd. vet it actually does contain all the
medicinal curative elements found in
iStsh Gods livers, snd is the most
kcu olesome and best medicine for child
ee we ever sold.

make your children well, rugged and
osy,> to refund your money" Short &

pose of relieving fatigue. Rolling is
peculiarly enjoyable and grateful to
the animal because it provides not only
re,.cf for the tensed muscles, the de-
plctcd organs and the slow moving cir
culation, but because as the animal
rolls the firm pressure Of the ground
upon his body constitutes a most eff
fective and agreeable massage.
