THE RISE OF NATIONALIST.

The Kansas City Times recently described the provincialism of Wash irgton City in the days of Jackson and Van Buren. and the article recalls one of the most interesting episodes in a nations progress. At that time, according to the aforesaid article, so- cial conditions were crude and un- formed It was an era of boastlnS and of little culture. When New York district sent cheese weigh ing 1 400 pounds to President Jack son the mob swarmed through the White House, hacking it to pieces until the carpets were fairly slippery with cheese. In concert by Ole Bull in Washington the music was inter rupted by the exclamation of Con sressman Mcconnell of Alabama. who shouted: None of your high fa- lutin'. but give us Hail Columbia and bear hard on the treble. The spread eagleism of the oratory of the period is familiar through Dickens caricatures.
 But this sort of thing was mere ly an incident in the development Of the colonies into a nation under the influence of democratic movement dominated by the conditions of the frontier. For the first three decades Of its existence the republic was largely concerned with European pol flies and culture.

TELLS BY
 THEIR SLEEP

"I can tell by my little ones sleep when a cold Is coming on" said a mother when speaking of the advance symptoms of colds in children, "They toss about, are rest less, their breathing is heavy and there are symptoms ot night sweats. The next morn inc I start with Seott's Emul- sion. The chances are that in a day or two they are all over it. Their rest is again peaceful and the breathing normal"
 Here's a suggestion for all mothers. Scott's Emul' sion always has been almost magical in its action when used as the ounce of preven' ton. Nothing seems to over come child weakness quite SC effectively and quickly as Scott's Emulsion.

THE GREAT NAVY FOLLY.

For sometime the house has had be- fore it for consideration the appro- priation bill for the navy. From all accounts the greatest obstacle to the bringing of federal expenditures With il the revenues is President Roose- velt's policy of "big navy and big stick" The general board of the navy has recommended a construction pro- gram. including three battleshlps or i disbursement that will enable them to carry ten twelve-inch guns, and II is said that congress Will be asked te increase the displacement Of the Idaho and Mississippi from 16,0oo to 1S. .OOO tons. in order that each may be equipped with twelve-nch guns.
 It is assumed, therefore, that the 1hree new ships asked for will be con. structed after the plans of the 2o,00o- ton battleship which the bureau of construction designed more than year ago If this be true. We have reached the era of the S1o,000. .00O bat tleship with the probability that the n5.00O.ton battleShip and the 30,0oe- ton battleship are only few years l away.
 Compared with such a leviathan of the deep. the Oregon. which seven years ago was the champion warshi2 of the world, is as nothins and all the battleships of her class and Of the class of the kearsarse are now obsolete. and We are as far as ev2r from having navy that amounts to anything
 It is hieh time that the country were aroused to the naval policy ot Nr. Raes welt Unless congress steps ia between the country and the presi- dent ii will not be long before our naval budget amounts 10 a quarter of ] a billion dollars annually. It is al. reafv sSe GOO, GOO greater annually ] than it was len years ago. and We aye hardly at the beginning of the maya! expansion that Mir Roosevelt has in view.
 We do not need the greatest navy on earth unless it is expected to pur- sue a policy of aggression. and this the ople have no intention of doing. The situation can be greatly cleared hv declaring our purposes with regard to the Philippines and working en practically to the time that We can evacuate that point of danger. With o,t the Philippines there is no losica demand for a great navy. and the sensible people of this country should see to it that that possession shall not run us into the dangers of mill tarism.
 But whatever shall be our ultimate naval policy. the government should not hesitate a day longer to emanei rate the government from the domina tion of tho shiphuildins and armo plate trusts. That it should cost th' government about s2o,oooooo more |, build modern hattleship of th fist class than a similar vessel cost Great Rritian or Germany is a dis grace. but no less so than the fac that privileged corporations are en
 rowered 10 extort from the people i the same manner.

HE NEVER SLEPT IN BED
Missouri Character Never Drank
Water, Hated Females and
Wrapped Legs in Papers

Special to The Herald.
KALABASH, Mo-, April S-Uncle
Hiram Wooster, one of the most eccen-
trio characters in Reynolds. if not in
the state, has pulled up stakes and gone
to Kansas, after a residence here of
nearly half a century. He is 70 years
old and never slept in a bed in his life,
He contrived a stout leather harness
which he strapped around his chest,
and between his ..houlder blades the
straps ended in a wrought iron hook.
When he wanted to go to sleep he stood
on a chair and threw the hook on a
staple driven into the wall of his cabin.
In this manner he slept comfortably
night after night. He said it saved the
bother of making beds.
Uncle Hiram wouldn't permit a
woman to enter his house, and no
female animal of any kind could be
found on his place. All his hogs were
boars, and he had a yard full of
roosters that were always growing or
fighting and became a great nuisance.
The old man declared he had not taken
a drink of water in fifty years. The
only liquid that ever passed his lips
was tea made of erbs which he gath
tired in the swamp. The decoction must
have possessed some peculiar drying
property, for Uncle Hirams skin could
easily be used for q nutmeg crater. He
wore blue jeans the year round, and
disdained the use of underwear, except
for his shins, which he kept wrapped
in newspapers. The neighbors are not
sorry he has gone.

PATH TO SUICIDE GUMMED
Farmer Jones Drinks From the Wrong
Bottle and Is Stuck to
Life
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
MIDDLEBOURNE, w. Va, April 8.
Thanks to the restraining powers of
mucilage, Richard Jones stuck fast
on this side of the great divide when
he had set forth despondently to reach
the other side over the suicide route.
Jones is a prominent farmer with
fertile lands on Hog Run. He quar-
relied with his wife and decided that
life was not worth living. In his
desperate haste to kill himself he ran
to cupboard where he knew was 2
bottle of poison. He seized a bottle
and placed it to his lips His mouth
was filled with a generous draught of
the contents before their consistency
caused Kim to open his eyes and look
at the bottle.
He saw the label and hurled the
bottle from him. 1t was good old
fashioned gum arabic mucilage which
filled his mouth and clutched at his
throat. He sputtered and fumed. The
mucilage clung to his throat and near
ly suffocated him.
Mrs. Jones heard the commotion and
ran into the room. Jones tried to
berate her, but his tongue got caught
in the roof of his mouth and cleaved
there. He shut his teeth with a
vicious snap and found his jaws stuck
fast. Mrs. Jones was nearly convulsed
with laughter. When she could con-
troll herself she went about to un-
stick her husband. Jones' anger
changed to gratitude as his wife
worked over him. She loosened up
his jaws and eventually got Jones
tongue unlimbered so that he could
utter a somewhat sticky Thanks
The humor of the situation appealed
to Jones when his face was washed
and he laughed heartily. The Joneses
are going to preserve the bottle of
mucilage as a reminder of the factor
which cemented their affections at
time when the break seemed ire
parable.
