Prodirfe. of PoIitepes..

Before you went abroad you heard
that the French people We're much
given TO politeness. but perhaps you
never heard about politeness in Swift
zerland. You are surprised as you wan
der about the villages or over country
paths to have all the little boys lift
their hats to you and say, "Guten NOR
gen, mein herr" and to have all the
little girls you meet greet you with
a shy smile and sweet voiced "Guten
mcrgen.''
OF course you lift your hat in re-
turn, and you think it a pretty custom
until it begins to weary you to keep
bowling and bowling and bowling to the
children. The best part of the chill
dren's poiiteness, however, as you dis
cover to be the case, lies in the fact
that it is not prompted by hope of gain.
In other parts of Europe many people
have smiled and fawned upon you in
anticipation of the bestoMl Of a coin.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
LIE Removal of the ObeIisI< From
Egypt by the Americans

The Removal of the ObeIisI< From
Egypt by the Americans.
Nothing ever told to illustrate the
friendship of Russians for Americans
will strike more responsive chord in
this country than the story of the ac-
ton of Russian admiral at Alexan-
dria. in Egypt, when Lieutenant Com
mander Gorringe, T. S n, was about
to ship the, obelisk now in Central
park, New York city, to the United
States said an old diplomatic official.
The English and French in Egypt
didn't want the western world TO have
an Obelisk, and court intrigue soon
persuaded the khedive to rescind his
gift. Gorringe had only few men
with him, bat he met the vaciIlation of
the khe9ive by erecting stockade
around the monolith and raising high
above it the stars and stripes.
'Mobs of Egyptians. melted by en-
vious French or English. continued to
harass the handful of Americans. AS
the time for lowering the obelisE
drew near their patriotic feeling reach
ed climax, and Gorringe began to
fear some sort of violence which might
ment. AS we all know, 1t was pla ced
on trunP1ons like cannon, turned
over on its side and lowered to the
ground, after which it was rolled on
cannon balls to the waters edge and
showed into the hold of the Dessoug,
the bow plates of which had been re
moved as she lay in dry dock.
'In the harbor was a Russian squad
ron. The admiral a few days before
the time set for lowering the obelisk
sent Commander Gorringe a polite
note saying he was much interested in
his novel engineering feat and would
be pleased if he could be permitted to
witness it. Gorringe returned n cour-
teous invitation to the admiral and his
staff and thought nothing more about
it. He was concerned rather about
what the excited Egyptian mob might
do when it came face to face with the
prospect of losing its historical treas
ure
AT daybreak on the appointed day
boats containing 400 Russians put off
from the squadron OF the white car
and formed a hollow square about the
obelisk. Within We're the Americans
and the admiral Outside surged the
Egyptian mob, held bSck by the bris-
Ting Russian bayonets. When the
obelisk was ready corner of the
square opened and the huge stone start
ed seward on its journey to the Unit
ed States. Next day the Russian adj
miral sent another polite note to Com
mander Gorringe thanking him for his
courtesy in permitting him to view the
lowering of the obelisk, which, be said,
he had very much enjoyed. New

Des Moines, Iowa, June 29-George
d. Perkins of Sioux City has sent to
Governor Cummins a letter offering to
arbitrate the many contests in counties
of Iowa where double sets of delegates
TO the state convention were named
He proposes that they submit the

The governors reply will be awaited
with statewide interest. 1t has been
the contention of the progressionists
that in the counties where contests are
claimed these contests have been
trumped up by the stand patters for
the purpose of disrupting the conven-
ton to that extent that they may con-
troll through having the state organ

WHY MANY PEOPLE SUFFER
FROM CONSTIPATION.
A Sure and Safe Relief.

Constipation is most often caused by
a torpid liver or failure of the stomach
and bowels to perform their proper
functions The condition is commonly
due at first to irregular habits of liv-
ing and improper food, and if properly
treated can be readily relieved. 1t is,
however, too often aggravated and
made chronic by the use, as medicine.
of powerful and expensive drugs, which
purge and perhaps give temporary re
lief, but are SO drastic in effect as to
damage the tender lining of the stom-
ach and bowels, leaving condition
worse than at first. This can. however,
be avoided, and the bowels gently and
thoroughly opened by the use of ma
lures own remedy-the famous Natur-
al Mineral Laxative Water-HUNYADI
has been relieving suf-
fering mankind all over the world for
nearly half a century One dose, II
