Hero's 8O-Year-Old Mother
Works as Department Clerk

At the age of 80, Mrs. Ann e. Grid
ley, mother of the famous captain to
whom Admiral Dewey gave the order,
"You may begin firing when you get
ready, Gridley," and grandmother of
Lieut.. John P. v. Gridley, killed two
years ago by the explosion on the bat
tleship Missouri, is regularly at work
As a clerk in the land office, a sub
division of the department of the in
terror, at Washington.
Mrs. Gridley has worked for the gov
eminent, almost continuously, for
thirty years. Her salary is 5000 a
year.
Mrs. Gridley came to Washington
from Michigan shortly after the war.
Her husband was Frank Gridley Of
Hillsdale, Mich. He had been en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits before
the war, but he became a confirmed
invalid and Mrs. Gridley sought en-
ployment and supported both for many
years.
She has n sor Lucius E. GridIey,
for years an emp'uye Of the treasury
department, with whom she lives.
Mrs. Gridley has a pension OF $40
a month, granted her on account of
her services as nurse during the civil
war. President Roosevelt has taken
a personal interest in Mrs. Gridley.
and has recommended that congress
pass a bill increasing her pension to
800 a month, which would enable her
to resign from Office and take a few
years rest.
The prize money to which Capt.
Gridley was entitled as a result of the
captures in Manila bay, amounting to
nearly $4,000, went, with the insur-
ance and pension. to his widow, who
resides in Erie, Pa. The latter also
received the insurance, etc, after the
death of her son, the young lieutenant
who vas killed on the Missouri.
Capt. Gridley's remains were Gre
mated in Manila. and no monument
has been erected to commemorate him
or his bravery in the national GENE
terry at Arlington, though there is also
a bill for this purpose pigeonholed
somewhere in some capitol committee
room.

Major-General Won Kloeden. who
frequently Bismarck's guest, has
recently given some new and interest
ing "reminiscences of the great states
man to the Frankfurter Zeitung:
shortly after Bismarck had been
made a prince, the conversation n
evening at dinner turned TO the sub
iect of his horses and carriages. which
were not considered fine enough for
n of his rank. The Iron Chancellor
was disinolined to pursue this topic.
But said his brother-inlaw, Count j..
Arnim. Now that you r a prince

SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS

Elaborate tests have been made at
many of the stations. particularly in
the East and the South, in order to
determine the value of the worthless
ness of soil fertilizers. says the Amer
lean Illustrated Magazine. While the
use of bacteria for incubation may
ultimately do away with all need of
fertilization, yet large amounts are
still spent upon commercial fertilizers,
and it will probably be some time be
fore they shall be all abandoned In
fact, something like $780, ,OO0 is an
nually paid out by the farmers of the
United States for fertilizers.
1t is unQuestionably true that much
fraud has been practiced upon the
farmers in this direction. In New Jer-
sey the station showed the farmers
that by clubbing together and purchas-
ing the raw material of which the fer
tilizers T composed they could save
from 25 to As per cent. The estimated
saving in cost to, the farmers of the
state by this one feature alone is
from SIS. 900 to S1OO, 900 per year. This
station has also demonstrated the
special food needs of certain plants,
showing the farmer what particular

BEST THING ABOUT BABY

Il am afraid" said a perplexed look
ing man seated in a restaurant sadly
smoking a cigar after luncheon. 4 am
afraid that l and my brother Charles
will never be the friends we were
again. You see, it is this way. A
while ago brother Charles was pre-
sented with a son and heir, and. like
the good fellow he is, he named the
precious infant after me-his bachelor
brother. l was away out West at the
time, but the joyful news was duly
t~elegraphed to me and I sent a cup
and shovel and spoon and the rest
of the outfit that uncles are supposed
to supply to their nieces and nephews.
and supposed that all vas well.
The other day l arrived back in
town, and, as in duty bound, went up
to sec the wonderful baby. Now that
child, in spite of the fact that it was
named after me. looked just like
every other baby 1 ever saw. OF
course, I tried to be interested and all
that sort of thing, and when they
would ask me if I did not think it
looked like some one l would say yes,
until I had declared that the blooming
bit of pink flesh looked like everybody

Habit-forming Medicines

Whatever may be the fact as to MANY
OF the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some Journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great interest in arousing needed
attention TO this subject. 1t has, In a
considerable measure, resulted In the
most Intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected Of containing the Injurious ingre-
olents complained Of. Recognizing this
TACT some time ago, DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo,
n. T., 'took time by the fOrelock. - as il
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients Of which his popular medf-
cines are composed. Thus he has com
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines. because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths Of our American forests and Of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which eve in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases Of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency 70 produce a
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce en-
plOys chemically pure, triple-rehned
Plycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy In many cases of chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, ~antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
IL enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
Golden Medical Discovery in all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila. Scudder, Of
Cincinnati; Ellingwood, of Chicago;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools Of
practice, h foregoing agents are the
VerB best ingredients that DIR. Pierce
could have chosen TO make up his ia
nous discovery" for the cure of not
only bronchial, throat and lung afec.

its various forms wherever located

type of fertilizer was needed for a
given crop.
Instead of purchasing manures from
New York and Philadelphia for fertil-
izing sweet potato ground, as had been
the custom, the station advised a com
bination Of various fertilizers as like

potato needed [ bring about the most
satisfactory results. More than 10000
acres of ground in New Jersey are
given up to the cultivation of the
sweet potato, and the cost Of produc-
ton has thus been lessened by from
So to $40 per acre. making an annual
saving Of nearly or quite 100000.
In this station, as in many other
stations, the information given the
farmers in the way of methods of pre-
venting insect p,sts results in a saw
ing of thousands Of dollars a year.

constant searching for the negative

marks one of the most significant func
