Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before Inflammation sets In, they may be
healed without maturaion and in about
one third the time required by the old
treatment. This is the greatest discov-
cry and triumph OF modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also allays
the pain and soreness and prevents any
danger OF blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle OF Pain Balm in your home and 1t
Will save you time and .money, not to
mention the inconvenience and suffering
such injuries entail. For sale by Ritter

Studied by the Artist.

zone Of the greatest difficulties In
art" remarked a critic, " is to get ones
facts right, and for this you have to
go not to art, but to the people. who
understand the things represented.
Il received my first lesson in this
direction when, as q youth, painted
a coast scene with a ship in the fore
ground. 1t was highly praised by all
who saw it, with the exception Of an
old seaman, who, when he examined
the rigging, politely turned aside to
conceal his amusement. No ship, he
explained, could possibly have gone to
sea with the ropes and tackle arranged
as in my picture. So had to humble
myself to learn to draw reeving-
blocks, shrouds, yards, and other por-
tons OF a ships rigging as they really
are.
"But 1t is not always possible to be
true to fact.
"Take, for instance, a typical picture
which represents herd of self-deny.
ing cattle grazing in meadow where
the heritage is Of the scantiest, while
near at hand are unprotected fields OF
grain into which they could walk at
will. Why did not the painter include
In his picture the fences which &C.
tually surrounded the corn fields?
Simply because they would have spoilt
the composition, and consequently
reality had to be sacrificed to the de
mands of art"

After all, the exp rienced American
traveller buys few things outside OF
his own country. Considering quality

ordinary wear are cheaper in the Uni

DOingS in New York.

The wife of Wall street millionaire,
whose name in New York is almost a
household word, as the police declare,
unwittingly furnished the password to
magnifcently furnished poolroom for
fashionable women at an uptown ad-
dress the other day and the place was
raided by the police. In it were twenty
women, whose finely appointed equip
ages awaited them in the street.
The appeals of the women, membefs
Of some of New York's wealthiest fami-
lies, when the detectives and officers
gained entrance to the drawing room
and revealed themselves, formed a
thrilling tableau. Several women went
on their knees to the detectives. They
offered their rings, watches-anything
they possessed-rather than face the ex-
posure of arrest or even the chance OF
their identities becoming known.
One woman l-lsped the detective
sergeant by the knees as she knelt
pleading for her liberty. Another tore
her rings from her fingers, and offered
them all to him, saying: IF my name
is known there will be murder or sui
eide in my home, for my husband will
either kill me or shall kill myself"

MOTHER OF SENATOR DICK OF OHIO.

he was very proud when he acquired
a half interest in feed and machinery
establishment. All this time however,
he kept studying at night to gain an
education, and to achieve something
better than an anxious interest in the
market price of oats. The good mother
who looks down upon him in the SEN
ate can recall with much pride the
struggles of the son to better his place
in the world and she did her part to
help him. He went into politics and
was elected county auditor before he
was 80. This is always the best office
in any courthouse and gave the young
man a start not only in politics but
in business. His activity and shrewd-
ness in local elections led to his Sc
lection In 1892 as chairman of the
state executive committee. He won
the election by such small majority
that there was no glory in it, but the
following year he managed the second
election of Mckinley as Governor with
splendid results. Later he went to
Congress from the old Garfield dis
trict and when Hanna died, came to
the senate by unanimous vote.
Mrs. Dick is of fine appearance, not

over the romantic career of her son
who may yet achieve still higher
honors.

Mrs. Magdalene Dick is one Of the

were the struggles and how rough the
maths that led to his present honor.

Some Clever Schemes for Swindling

who Make a Regular Business of
Getting Damages.
In no other country in the world, are
90. many private detectives employed
as In the United States.
Every great corporation has it's star
OF secret service" men, many of them
recruited from the detective forces Of
European countries.
The chief occupation of these COM
mercial detectives is to protect the
various institutions they represent
from the depredations Of professional
swindlers of all kinds.
These Crooks" are a formidable
army. Groups of them travel from city
to city, connecting and carrying out
frauds Of all kinds, aided in their ne
farious plans by "shady" lawyers, ply
sicians, and even, at times. by the en-
ployes of the corporations which they
seek to victimize.
Insurance companies are the favorite
prey of this robber bands.
OF one audacious swindler, who was
recently brought to justice, it is stated
that, assisted by his confederates, he
defrauded seven different accident In.
surance companies of sums aggregat-
ing some $4,000.
Had he varied his method, 1t is quite
likely this particular "crook" would
still be reaping golden harvest. But

the serious nature of his accident; but,
although the trick in itself was diff.

and led to the downfall Of the swindler.
Some Of the sharps pose as mechan.

Of an internal nature, and, uttering
heartrending groans, they are carried

Now and again the conductors Of
trains are in league with the sharpers,
which,, Of course, greatly facilitates the
frauds. Indeed, it is said that railway
accidents such as small collisions,
have been deliberately brought about
by conspiracies of this kind.
One particular "crook" made large
sums by conspiring with conductors
to push him off the train when it was
in motion! In this way he acquired
profitable crop of permanent injuries
to the spine," for which the railway
companies had to pay smartly.
So numerous and so astute have the
American detectives become OF late
years, however, that such frauds have
become increasingly difficult.
The suppression of malpractices Of
this kind is, as stated, the principal
work of the great army of commercial
detectives, many of whom are appar.

watching Of suspected employees

financial houses.

That the commercial interests of the
east, II not its statesmen, are alive to
the desirability of promoting the settle.
ment and internal improvement Of the
west, is shown by the very comprehen-
sive action taken recently by the Ma
tional Board Of Trade in Washington,
powerful association, composed OF
representatives from most of the great
commercial bodies of the United States.
The organization represents combined
capital of billions of dollars employing
several hundred thousand workers; It
has been strong factor in urging
legislation on various important in
ternal works; it was the first of the
great commercial bodies of the East
to advocate the passage of the national
irrigation law and 1t has a regular
standing committee on forestry and
irrigation.
The report of the organization this
year is most interesting and reads as
follows -

rigation matters which has been con- !
sistently urged by the National Board
OF Trade has been enacted into law.
The National Board was the first or
ganization representing the CONNER
cial interest of the whole country to re-
commend national irrigation policy
and June II, 1902 National Irri-
cation law was enacted. There is in
the Irrigation Fund at the present
time about $30,000,000 which is in
creasing from the sale Of public lands
at the rate of at least, 100000 a
year.
In the matter of Forestry legislation
the National Board Of Trade recon-
mended the passage of the bill pro.
viding for the consolidation Of the
various forestry branches of the
Government into the Bureau Of Fores-
try Of the Department Of Agriculture.
This bill was enacted into law at the
last session of Congress.
The National Board Of Trade has
stood against the practice Of exchang-
ing worthless "scrip" land in the
national forest reserves for valuable
public lands outside Of the reserves
and has repeatedly recommended the
repeal of the law permitting this prac-
tice. This law was repealed at the last
session of Congress.
At the last meeting Of the National
Board, opposition was expressed to
what was known as the GAO Acre Home
stead bills-increasing the homestead
entry in parts of South Dakota, Colo
RADIO and in Montana from 100 acres to
$40 acres; these bills were all defeated
at the last session of Congress.
Much, however, remains to be done.
The National Board of Trade has con-
sistently advocated the saving Of the
great public domain for the use Of the
real homemaker as against the land
and timber grabber and the Spectator.
Trade and commerce will increase as
population increases, and our National
land policy should be administered to
preserve our remaining half billion
acres of public lands for those who will
build homes upon them. As laws which
tend to overcome this policy the Ma
tional Board has continuously, since
its meeting in January, 1902, urged the
repeal of the Timber and Stone Act,
the Communication clause Of the Home
stead Act and the Desert Land Act, In
