Modest Claims often Carry the Most
Conviction

When Maxim, the famous gun inven
ter, placed his gun before a committee
of judges, he stated its carrying power
to be much below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result of
the trial was therefore great surprise,
instead of disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. They do not publicly boast
of all this remedy will accomplish, but
prefer to let the users make the state
ments. What they do claim. is that 1t
will positively cure diarrhoea, dysen-
terry, pains in the stomach and bowels
and has never been known to fail. For

JOHN D., JR., LEADS HIS SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS IN SINGING

New York. Jan. 12.-After John ID.
Rockefeller. Jr., had led his Bible class
at the Fifth Avenue Baptist church yes
terday morning In singing Bringing In
the Sheaves." he surrendered the floor to
Robert c. Ogden, who gave few side
lights on the character OF Lincoln. Mr.
Ogden spoke OF Lincoln's honesty in pay
ing up the firms debts OF Berry e. LIN
coin and said while Mr.. Lincoln was
president, congress paxsed an appropria-
tion for refurnishing the White House
The agent who bought the needed arti-
cles In New York went far beyond the
amount OF the appropriation. The presi-
dent, instead OF asking congress for more
money. drew his personal check for the
difference, although he was then as al
ways n comparatively poor man
Until the issuing OF the emancipation
proclamation Mr.. Ogden said that Lincoln
was never regarded by the abolitionists
as one OF their number. since he put the
Union and the constitution before his de-
humor Mr.. Ogden related that when Lord
Harrington. who was much interested in
the secession movement. went 10 Wash
ington and met the president. Lincoln
considered him too self-lmportant Lord
Harrington" he said, 1T ia very delight
full TO meet you. We remember your
name because II rhymes wit hthat OF our
own Mrs. Partington."
Lord Harrington left Immediately for
Richmond.
In conclusion Mr. ogden said that the
south today regarded Lincoln as its best
friend because he did his duty with
charity for all and malice toward none"

owner of Hanover, made a carefully word
ed statement on tho trade relations with
the United States. He said:
These relations have now become
acute. because we have not been able to
conclude new commercial agreement
with the United States. You all know
that we take twice as much from Amer

the people OF closed home markets have
the upper hand in the senate. President
Roosevelt. in spite OF his admiration for

the senate
Diplomacy consists in reckoning with
given facts and striving for the attain
able. and in this diplomacy differs from
private and party nfe In which one so
often tried TO treat facts 10 suit ones
self, and ~ attain the impossible. We
might argue that with the exception OF
cotton, maize and lard. we could get any
thing we derive from the United States
from other countries. But firm as we
must be in our negotiations, IL would not
fatal II we did not do all We could 10
make an agreement possible.
The English and French would be the
chief gamers were we to engage in a COM
mercial war with the United States. Such
a war therefore. could only have one re-
suit on our side and that would be II
waken us. But that must never be the
aim OF our policy.
ION the contrary. we have every -rea-
son in the present complicated world
situation to strengthen our ties with
America, which Is the only world power
that can remain passive toward Great
Britain. and at the same time form p
closer friendship with us"
DR.. Won Floeckher concluded by say
