assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality. they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician. ignorant of the
cnHSc OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tee until large bills are made. The suf-
ierlng patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications

JOHN coYLE's VALIANT SOUL

Do you regard your lot in life as a
hard one? Do you think you have not
had a square deal? Do you rail at
your fate?
Listeni
John Coyle of Des Moines has only
one arm. He lost one--it was the
right one-by accident. The surgeons
did not leave even a stump.
But Coyle works every day in a
sewer ditch, does as much work as any
man on the job-more than some
and gets the same wages Of $1.76 per
day.
He knows nothing about the law of
the survival of the fttest, or if he
does, made no moan about it. AS
soon as he got over the amputation he
learned how-pathetic laborers i to
use his shoulders and left arm, and he
makes the dirt fly with the best of
them.
More about John Coyle:
He not only makes living for him
self by hard work aud decent living.
He supports with his left arm, shoul-
ders, pick and shovel an aged father
and mother.
Most of men in his place would
have waited for an easy job to turn
up. or haunted the street corners, hat
in hand, or asked society for help.
But John Coyle had nerve and cour-
age and grim endeavor under his vest.
Like the soldier with broken sword,
he fought on.
In the light of this mans high pur-
pose and achievement in rough, ought
not you, with two good, strong arms,
be ashamed of your complainings?
Unfortunately Mr.. Carnegie's med
ais do not come to such noble souls as
John Coyle. But, just the same
warp and woof of his valiant soul, he
is made of hero stuff. st. Paul News.

GoULDs OF ROYAL BLOOD

That her son, Kingdom Gould, might
be able 10 trace relationship to the
rulers of England and that she might
show that the blood in her own veins
is of the purplest, Mrs. George Gould
has EN- ployed firm of genealogists to
prove it.
Working with a dozen agents in
England and France, these genealog-
lists have now succeeded. They show
that Kingdom and Mrs. Gould have in
them blood of British Kings, and re-
veal ancestry back to the twelfth Gen.
tury. The result of the probers'
labors Mrs. Gould has made up in
pamphlet form. Every entry in the
record is backed by letters from the
English College of Arms or from
churches and old records in England.
1t cost Mrs. Gould $4,000 upward
for the work of preparation. The
records show that the Kingdoms have
the right to quarter their arms with
those of the Hockins of England, as a
Miss Hockins, known in heraldry as an
"heiress," married Kingdom. By
an heiress, it is explained by the com
pliers of the book, is meapt maiden
who is the last of her race, and in this
connection it is stated that Mrs. Gould
is an heiress, being the last CT the di-
rect desce1t of the Kingdons.

Unprecedented in the history of the
United States army is the action OF
President Roosevelt, just announced,
in dismissing in disgrace from the
army au entire battalion of negro
troops, because of their failure to dis
close the identity of some of their
number who had been guilty of
violence and murder. As an evidence
of his intention to be fair with the
troops, the president has accompanied
his action by an order which may
amount to the courtmartial of white
army officer of high grade, who was
charged with having cast slurs upon
the troops. The report by Brigadier
General Cardinton, inspector general
of the army, relative to the riotous
disturbance at Brownsville, Texas,
on August l., 1906, that resulted in
the death of one citizen and the
wounding of another is the basis Of
the presidents action.

LOWER FARES PAY

When the New Haven Railroad
company reduced its passenger rate to
2 cents mile the officials estimated
that there would be loss of about
$780, 900 year in gross receipts. The
reduced rate, which affects nine
tenths of the system, has been in oper-
alton several months, and instead of
the predicted reduction there is an in
crease in gross earnings. Lower fares
have given the company enough new
business to more than make good the
lessened profit on each fare. When
the Michigan Central charter was re-
pealed aud accent rate was fixed by
the legislature the company brought
suit against the state of Michigan for
$5, 1000, 900. By the time the case got
before the courts the receipts already
showed a large increase in passenger
earnings. Instead of losing by the
repeal of charter which gave it the
right to charge cents mile the
Michigan Central had actually bene
fitted.
The recent reductions in fare on the
Pennsylvania were made in a con-
tident business belief that there would

Japan TOO EASILY OFFENDED

1t is Just possible that an unneces-
sary amount of consideration is being
given to the japanese susceptibilities
regarding the exclusion of their child
rem from the public schools of San
Francisco which are attended by the
white children there, and the estab-
lishment of separate schools for them.
1t is undoubtedly true that the Ameri-
can people generally disapprove of the
discrimination, and would be glad to
see it discontinued. But that is not
the point.
If the children excluded ara citizens
of the United States, the Japanese
nation and government have nothing
to do with the subject, even though
the parents of these children may once
have been subjects of the mikado.
They are absolutely subject to Ameri-
can jurisdiction and must depend up
on American law for the protection
Of their rights.
If, on the other hand, the parents
and children in question are still

schools except such as the sovereign
state of California may graciously
afford them. The federal government
has nothing to do with the matter,
and though treaties become part of the
law of the country, no treaty can
amend the constitution of the union,
under which each state is in supreme
and sole control of its own schools.
1t is, therefore, something that may
be regretted that California, or San
Francisco, has Disseminated in the
treatment of Japanese children in the
schools, and it may be proper for
Washington to express such regret to
the Toxic government, on similar
occasion, that the whole matter is alb
solutely within the jurisdiction of the
sovereign state of California. Japan
may not be able to understand this, as
Italy was not, but it is a vital element
in our system of government, and it
cannot be changed to please all Asia,
as it never was changed to please all
Europe. Detroit News.
