TWO GRAND OLD MEN.

At the time when the claim is being
freely made that the world is run by
Young men, and when a noted physi-
clan is accused of denying to any man
over forty creative ability, it is graft
fying to the oldsters to note the life
and works of two men who have reach
ed the allotted threescore years and ten
whose genius seems, Notwithstanding,
to have reached it's fruition. Speaker
Cannon, of the American house of rep
resentatives, was seventy years old
last week, and for the first time in his
life he is being seriously mentioned
for the presidency. Whether he will
get beyond the mention stage is imma-
terial; the speaker is presidential size,
and if he is not nominated it will not
be because the republican convention
considers him too old and infirm. He
is a power on the stump and he at
tends to the exacting duties of the
speakership with the watchfulness of
a man of forty. There is no sign of
.mental or physical decay in the speak
er.
Another old wan toward whom the
eyes Of the world are turned is Joseph
Chamberlain. In a few days he will
celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of
his service as member for Birmingham,
during which time he has never been
defeated, and never, not even in
the trying campaign of this year, when
unionists are falling like tenpine all
around him, failed to carry his ticket
through with him. A few days after his
thirtieth anniversary of parliament
tary service Joseph Chamberlain will
be seventy years old At fifty-nine
Gladstone became prime minister for
the first time; at seventy-one he made
his famous Midlothian campaign: so
Joseph Chamberlain has precedent for
his activity. At seventy seven Glad
stone tried to upset a century of prece-
dents in the rule of Ireland, as Cham
berlain at seventy is attempting to
overturn the fiscal policy of the empire
settled for fifty years.

MORE LINES ARE NEEDED.

The conservative east fears that the
business of bualding transcontinental
railroad lines will be overdone. The
Now York Evening Post voices that
feeling in speaking of the Great North
ern's proposed Canadian line, suggest
ing that the presence Of several paral-
lei lines competing for the same
through business may divide earnings
to a damaging extent.
Such fears are entirely groundless.
AS far as the new Canadian transcon-
tinental is concerned, it has its justin
cation in the rich wheat lands to be
opened up and connected with the
worlds markets, which will insure II
tonnage without depending much on
through business. 1t lies too far north
TO serve this gateway on business from
Puget sound, and that particular franc
is now overlooking the existing ROADS
TO an unpleasant degree. The building
boom in the northwest has stimulated
the demand for western lumber, and
the three roads are swamped with con-
signments. Business of all kinds mas
grown, and congestion has become the
rule with the through freight business
of the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Union Pacific since last Au-
gust. 1t still continues. The
roads seem to have care enough
but are short of motive power
and need more through tracks
The Northern Pacific is starting to
double track it's line, working west
ward. and will give line to the Wes'
coast direct. 1t cannot come any toe
soon. There is no immediate prospec1
! that railroad building will be overdone
in a region where the existing ROADS
are unable to move the traffic offered.

With an overwhelming majority but
recently returned against him. one
would think that Chamberlain would
dream of leisure and surcease of poll
tics. But he thinks of nothing of the
kind. He is every night at his post
in the house of commons, battling for
protection with the avidity of gen.
eral on whom devolves responsibility
for a campaign.
Unlike Gladstone Chamberlain is not
a faddist on the subject of health. He
never cut down trees nor got off any
aphorisms about the number of dental
knocks to give each portion of food.
His own only principle of health has
been never to walk when he could ride,
and never to ride when he could COM
mand others to ride to him. COnserva-
ton of energy has been his watch
word. Yet it should be understood
that the public man who takes ordinary
care of his health gets all the exercise
his body needs, and the best kind OF
exercise, too, in speaking.

With Irritating Skin Humor -WhoIe
Body Affected Scalp ltched All
the Time and Hair Began to Fall
Out-WonderfuI Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"I am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. did not take much notice OF it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then I began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but became worse al!
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe..
cially at night, just as soon as ! would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and did, and the first apple
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks I would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and l kept getting better, and by the
time used four boxes of Cuticura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but I continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dan
druff out and scalp is always clean. l
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal It. l will never be
without it." D. E. Blankenship,

HuMoR OF THE HOUR
A Difficulty Solved.


One SUNDAY Philadelphia young
lady had her dearest friend, bryn
Mawr girl, come to spend the day and
evening. Incidentally quite number
of young men dropped in. and SO
charmed were they with the taking
ways of the college maiden and her
naive manner of showing her entire
superiority to the commonplace. ma
terial things of life that nearly every
man fingered to take tea.
The young girl Of the house soon had
the creamed oysters bubbling In the
chatting dish and the salad nicely dress
Cd. Suddenly, practical hostess that
she was, she whispered to her college
friend:
'Oh. dear! Whatever am to dot
do believe that there isn't enough
bread for all these men!
A languid interest shone In the
dreamy eyes Of the Bryn Mawr girl
'(sh, never mind the bread, dear" said
she. Lets have toast!'-Lippincotti

Much of the bitterness of the French
miners strike is due to the responsible
ity of the employing company for the
late Courrieres mine disaster. 1t has
been shown that the company had not
provided the number of ventilating
shafts required by law, and that the
regulations regarding the doors con-
Meeting different parts Of the mine had
not been complied with. AS time
passes, workmen are more and more
bitterly opposed to being unnecessarily
killed to save expense.
