weapon being concealed there was
feeling that to carry sword-cane was
rather cowardly act, so these articles
of defense were in disfavor. AS 1t was
often necessary, however, for colonial
gentleman to defend his honor and that
very promptly, a device was employed
as effective as a rapier and open to the
gaze of all who chose TO look. At the
lower end of the cane an iron socket
was fitted, the upper portion of which
neld the wood of the cane, while the
lower was a circular rod OF steel IL to
is inches in length, really a rapier and
q very dangerous weapon.
Canes in those days were not carried
as they are now, with the hand on the
top, but were grasped firmly from six
inches to a foot from the upper end, as
a Swiss guide holds an alpenstock.

"a Patrick Henry went fox
- hunting with a party of
his sport-loving neighborc
Foxes were numerous in the quarter
OF Virginia where he made his
home and the chase was lively, but on
the return from the hunt his horse took
fright at some object by the wayside,
ran under a tree. the stout branches Of
which brushed the rider from his seat.
and In falling his ankle was struck by
hOof in such q manner as TO cause a
serious injury.
He was laid up for some time, and
when he began to resume the use of his
II jured foot a cane was necessary.
Growing near the houze was a patch of
what were known as blistered cotton
woods. One of these was cut Of proper
length, local artisan fitted the top
With a huckhorn handle, bored a hole
FOR a string and placed at the lower
end a socket and steel point.
This cane was carried by Patrick
Henry while its aid was necessary, but
by the time strength had returned to
his foot he had become accustomed to
the staff and carried it as a common
companion until his death, in 1899
The cane is now in St. Louis. in the
possession OF a descendant Of the Hen
rvs having been brought here in 1851.

A very handsome neckpiece OF dia-
monds and pearls had two intertwin-

the front there was a bowknot with

of pearls and diamonds hung from this
bowknot, extending well down over the
bust.

Another family story declares that IL
was the custom of Henry on beginning
a speech to leave his cane standing
against his chair. and shortly before
the conclusion OF his grafton he would
reach for the stick. this action being
regarded as an Indication OF speedy
close. just as the old time clergyman
was accustomed to shut up his Bible
a short time before the end OF his SER
mon. The last few words OF Henry'S
speeches were generally the most en-
phatic and are said TO have been en-
forced on the minds of his hearers by
vigorous thunps OF his cane on the
floor. So when he made the Give mo
liberty or give me death" grafton he
probably held this historic cane in his
right hand. and the last word OF this
famous speech was followed by thump
as loud as his voice.

of platinum in broad band at the
bottom and of threadlike delicacy at
the top. From this band there branchsd
off, inside the heart-shaped band three
conventionalized bleeding heart leaves

Neither was he satisfied with the pre-
vailing social and political conditions;
in short. he was Of the opinion that the
country was going to the dogs and that
Henry and his fellows were In great
part responsible for the trouble. In
very plain terms he said so. and after
laboring for some time to show him the
error of his ways the Governor finally
lost patience and, resenting particu-
larly offensive remark. he hit the Tory
on the head with such violence that
both head and stick were broken. The
Tory endeavored to seek redress in the
courts. but popular feeling against him
was so strong that he gave up the idea
and soon left Virginia for the then
sparsely settled region beyond the
mountains. Henry thought so much of

away he had 1t repaired.

"Imperialism" and "Cesarism"
are the terms in which certain Eu.
ropean papers record their impress
sions Of the Presidents last mes

orally content, as is also the OSSer-
vdtoro Romano, with giving a re-
sumo Of the document, but the
French press, in some quarters,
openly accuse Mr.. Roosevelt of
brandishing the "Big Stick" over
foreign Powers, and firing the
"Big Pistol" into the air. Speak

A TEXAS DECISION.

\ decision of great interest to
the rice mills has been handed
down by Judge IQ,he in Houston.
The rice mills sought to attack the
conStltutionality of the recent pure
food law enacted by the Texas
state Legislature, this law, in brief,
requiring all feed StuffS to be an
alyZed and inspected, each package
to contain tag setting forth the
analysis and each package to con
tain one hundred pounds. This
latter feature, especially, worked a
hardship upon the rice mills, whose
custom it has been to pack rice
bran in the same sacks from which
they took the rough rice as it came
to them from the fields aod ware
houses, these sacks containing 100
'7J pounds of bran. TO force
them to put only one hundred
pounds in each sack meant con
siderable loss to every mill in the
course Of the season. In his deci-
sion Judge Ashe holds that the
law is constitutional, and that the
feed stuff must be analyzed and
tagged, but holds that the law does
not force mills to limit their pro-
duet to bags Of one hun d r e d
pounds. In other words, the mills
may use any size package they
desire, but the package must bear
tag showing the analysis and the
weight. AS this point was the
principal one at issue, the rice mills
will probably y not pursue the matter
any further, as it is understood
that they do not particularly object
to having their products analyzed
and tagged. Orange, Teras, Tri-

Asked one day in his store the gues-
tion, "What is good for bronchitis7
Mr.. Taylor, our well known druggists, an
swered, "For years old fashioned cod
liver oil has been known to possess the
most remarkable curative and healing
properties for throat, bronchial, and lung
troubles of anything known to medicine,
but on account of the grease which en-
veloped its curative principles, it has
been impossible for many people to take
enough of it into their systems to combat
a thoroughly settled disease without clog
ging the system and upsetting the sto-
mach.
"Now, however," continued Mr.. Tay lor,
"we have Vinol which contains in a high
ly concentrated from all of the medicinal
curative elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, without a
drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach
and retard it's work, and physicians agree
that it is the greatest cure for all throat
bronchial and lung troubles known to
medicine"
Miss Anna Ray writes us that after
suffering for five years with bronchitis,
and trying all kinds of medicines without
relief, Vinol cured her, and we have
hundreds of just such letters.
We wish every person suffering from
chronic colds, coughs, bronchitis, and
every aged, weak, or convalescent person
who needs healing, strengthening and
blood making tonic would try Vinol on
our guarantee TO return the purchase

Power, you must not 90 truculent-
ly insult the Powers of the world, !,
but so far as South America is con-
cerned the President clearly in
tends to maintain his position of
patron and policeman. The dislike
of this offensive assumption stead
lily grows in South America, and it
is naturally asked where is the war
rant for the President of the United
States to assume over the Western
hemisphere the authority of Rhada
nautilus in the shades who cast
gatque auditqMe delos'? Mr.. Roose-
velt's tone leads US to think that he
believes himself to possess such "A
prerogative by right divine; or is
it only not unnatural confusion
with the right Of the strongerf"
On the other hand, the Gaulois
(Paris) applauds the language aud
intention of the message, and thinks
that France might learn lesson
from them. Then in aIlusion TO
the structures the President utters
against those who did so much to
secure his election, this great
French Journal remarks: =.
ale who can so candidly revise
his own doctrine, and pass judg
ment on his own work and friends;
he who stigmatizes the antagonlsm
between the colleetivlst, the prole
tariat aud the individualist manu-
facturers, who pats in the same
box piutocracy and mobocracy,
which have been each iu turn idols
of the socialists, who condemns
the eDemies of rational defense
and is indignant at electoral cor
rup,ion, plainly indicates the dis
gust with which certain phases of
our party politics would inspire
him. He is neither French Ma,

the war with Spain, is not new
thing. 1t originates in the Monroe
Doctrine. +. But from being a
negative this has now become a
positive doctrine. Not only does
the United States assert its atten-
tion to prohibit the annexation by
Europe of any territory in the New
World, bat claims the right Of safe
guarding and controlling the Gov
ernments of the West so that the
Powers of the Old World can no
longer undertake the direct adjust
ment of their difficulties with the
South American Republics. We
are already we'll acquainted with
the doctrine on the Big Stick.
This doctrine is enlarged aud ex-
aggerated to extraordinary proper
tions by President Roosevelt's mes
sage"
The T,bana (Rome) speaks in
even stronger language than the
French ministerial organ. 1t de-
clares that MIR. Roosevelt is mill
tarist who is grating Casarism
upon republican institutions, and
consequently the writer of this
message has no longer any proper
place as President of Republic.

On those passages which provoke
from other papers charges of
CHsarism, the English ministerial
organ remarks:
