Tariff Reform Coming.

The latest Republican converts
from the standpat doctrine before cleo.
ton were Perry Heath and Elmer
Dover, who were educated in the Han.
ma school of politics in "the good old
standpat days" They may now be
counted as belonging to the Repub.
lican outs, but are looking with long.
ing glances for the chance to be the
ms, when the political pendulum,
swings their way. They evidently see
that tariff reform must come, and
think that President Roosevelt has
made a great mistake in surrendering
to the trusts and protected monopo-
lists. The tariff issue is no doubt
purely a matter of politics with both
those two worthless and the president
and all the Republican leaders except
the ardent standpatters seem ready to
change their tariff coats as policy die
tates. There is no doubt that a very
large number Of the Republican vot-
ers favor revising the tariff schedules
that shelter and protect the trusts, but
their wishes for the present, at least,
have been nullifed by the allience and
adroit maneuvering of the president
and Speaker Cannon to prevent tariff
revision,

A BRIDGE or MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used In Mexican struo
ture for Pedestrians and Teams.

HMf .IHL" - lsHLHOM2
As mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world, it may be
inferred that this tropical material
is not very extensively employed In
the construction of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly a rarity, a curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that mate
rial. This structure is located in the
department of Palenque, state Of Chi.
apas, republic Of Mexico. This dis.
trict lies in the extreme southwestern
part of Mexico, near the boundary line
Of Guatemala.
The mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood,
except some iron braces and nails that
are necessary. The bridge spans the
Rio Michel and rs total length, in.
GLIDING approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width is IL feet. It is used
by both teams and pedestrians and,
though somewhat rude and primitive
lip construction, 1t is very substantial.
None Of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for In that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta.
tions, and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the trop.
ical forests for setting out the young
rubber trees the mahogany growths
are also cut down and removed, As
this wood is quite abundant, some Of

spade which. / did not doubt but /
should find concealed. therein; and
after I drew 1t forth | paused to
verify each stamp which time and the
elements had set upon blade and
handle, as I'had remarked them
erstwhile in my vision. AS I rolled
the log back from its followed bed l
espied among the crumbling bits OF
bark the remnant of a glove, with the
initial H embroidered upon the wrist.
I fastened back to Oswestry and
raised a hue and cry that murder had
been committed.
Accompanied by a sheriff and
posse and a motley crowd of OK.
cited citizens, l returned to the spot
my absence of explanation un-
noticed in the frenzy of the hour.
With the exhuming of the body an
unusual phenomenon was discovered
to have taken place. The waters of
the little brook close by had per.
meated through the soil to the corpse
of the murdered man and, acting p o
the tissues, had preserved it with life.
like features. Both I, and those with
me who had known him in life, recog-
nized in him Lisbeth's husband who
had so m%ysteriously disappeared four
years before. A stab in the back that
penetrated to the heart told how he
had met his death.
When l went on to the inn to pre-.
pare the widow and her parents for
the bringing home of the husband so
long dead, ! found Carver Hallard,
and a few guests who had been in
vited to the wedding, impatiently
awaiting me. Lisbeth had been
tricked out in bridal white, but her
expression was that of deepest de-
spair.
"In view of the news l bring, the
marriage would better be postponed
awhile" l said low yet so that all
might understand. "Lisbeth, l bring
thee sad tidings of thy last husband"
Then | said that the body was
found and Hallard staggered back
against the bar as though l had dealt
him a blow. There came a great fear
into his narrow eyes, his swarthy fea.
lures grew livid; and after | had told
my tale he asked with quivering lips
and voice il any clue to the assassin
had been discovered; and /, bearing
the glove in mind, did look him level
in the eye and answer him shortly
yes"
In the confusion of the laying out
Of the dead man and the impanelling
Of a corners jury, Carver Hallard
escaped from the house and from the
vengeance of man. But his account
is with God! He keeps 1t, and He
will settle 1t when the dial points the
hour!

NEW A CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the old-Time
"A~pple-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was a de-
lightful one for all concerned, until
SEINE Of the boys got more "egg-nog'
or "~apple.jack" than they could sue

Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand UP at
the same time.
II anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter Of q century in the use
Of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom Of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping Is nearly
obsolete.
The custom Of calling on ones

the new year. is a good habit, and an.
other good habit to start at that time

you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. ! had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anamia.
Ihad spells Of vomiting, could not eat,
In fact, did not dare to, I had such dis
tressafter eating. My stomach was filed
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache ! suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat SO fast that I could
hardly breathe. But the worst Of all vas
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftm for seven weeks. About this
time I had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come oyer me.
"Nothing had helped me until I began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
l had grown worse every day. After I
had taken the pills a short time I could
see that they were benefting me and
one morning I awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
