The Black Man.

In an address before the Negro
Young Peoples Christian and Edito-
rial congress in Washington, Score
tary of the Navy Bonaparte pursued
a suggestive line of thought. He
pointed to the fact, established by
comprehensive experience, that the
black race is the only one which has
been able to live with white people
Indians, Australians and Polynesians
have died off and disappeared before
the advance of the white race, but the
negroes have not only remained, but
have increased and multiplied. From
this condition the secretary drew the
conclusion that the black men have a
destiny to work out, and must COM
pete with the white men in the effort
OF gain a livelihood. There is no
room in America for people who
can't take care of themselves" said
the secretary; and again: You can't
in this country rest and be thankful
for if you try to do this you will soon
have nothing to be thankful for The
idle and sensual and benighted are
never really free, and America now
is country only for freemen." That
is sound practical sense and true
patriotism, says the Troy Times. And
come to think of it, the advice is as
applicable to white as to colored men

Mrs. III. Wighf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar tonic effect on the fe'
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia K. Pink
hap's Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance in my
stomach. / tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. i was adj
vised to give Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and In
fewdays began to enjoy and properly digest
nv food. NV recovery was rapid, ana In
five weeks / was well woman. L have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such record
of cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
4. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS
Defined by Customs Men as Bird, a
Handbag and Dog.

On the travels of a monkey from
Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce
might be written. A German gentle
men brought from southwest Africa
tiny monkey weighing barely a
couple of pounds. From Tanga to
Genoa all went well with the Lilli-
putian animal 1t was a favorite with
everyone, and travelled free until
Genoa was reached, when its troubles
began.
Brought under the notice of the &C.
noese customhouse authorities, it was
promptly deprived of its identity. 1t
was no longer an animal; it became
a bird, and as a bird, on which 20
cents was charged, it was conveyed to
the Swiss frontier, where, at stroke
of the customhouse officers wand 1t
was transformed into cat at the in
creased assessment Of $1.56, and
borne by train to Zurich.
On its arrival there II ceased, as a
cat, to exist, and became a mere pack
age-an item Of luggage that was con.
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum of 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phized from package into handbag
II went on It's way to Stuttgart, where
a great honor awaited 1t. 1t was, on
payment Of $204, exalted into a dog
and 1t was as a dog that 1t ended its
Journey at the university town Of

Upheld the Law.

The supreme court has upheld the
constitutionality of the law of 1905,
providing for the holding of alternate
terms of the circuit court for Calhoun
county in Battle Creek, instead of all
of them being held in Marshall, the
county seat. Various objections to the
act were raised, one relating to the
title and another being that the act
conferred legislative powers upon the
Battle Creek common council. upon
whose provision of suitable quarters
the location of the court there was
made conditional. Such objections
were overruled. The question came up
on the petition of George n. Mccall,
charged with forgery, who objected to
being tried in Battle Creek.
