them. President Roosevelt is one OF
those whose portrait was obtained for
the book. In his case no subscription
was asked, and a reputable southern
lady was employed to obtain his photo
graph, without suspicion upon her part
of any improperly. The president
promptly denied having understood
the purpose for which the portrait was
obtained. The highest price paid for a
subscription was, it is said, the $10,O 600
of Mrs. G. P. Huntington.

Conductor Was Mistaken.

> Senator Penrose tells of a lady who
objected to all familiarity by street car
conductors, such as touching her or
calling to her, or assuming that she
needed help in getting on or of a car.
One day when the motorman was put
ting on brakes and slowing up the lady
arose, and the conductor shouted: ~
"Wait. Teddy, until the car stops"
Don't address me, sir, as lady" she
Indignantly replied. Il:

the conductor; "but all Of us ID. liable
to make mistakes" -Pittsburg Dis

to me, and I was keen for the game, so
l drawed me stool close, and set down
between them.
Nov, Addie," sed the Boss, with a
grin, pitch a few Curved Ones at the
kid. l will chip in with any explana-
tions he needs and we'll get some real
F~our-cylinder Gasoline tips on the fu-
ture. You know that out of the mouths

Now l won't stand for a josh from any
Geezer, and remembering a Spiel l
heard at the theater, l sed, turning me
searchlights full on the Boss:
M Linen may not have led the Ger
man at a Laundryfest lately, but it Gov
ers an Honest Heart. Can O say as
much for Yerself, Sir Godfrey Traverse"
Before he had time to call a strike on
me, I seq:
"And what's more, Mister Lawson, I
may be a Sucking, but You can see a
Sucker further than a cop can a booze
, store.'
The Boss is a game loser and lust
laughed till the other guy bumped in
with a foghorn smile. Then he braced
up quick and sed:
Away with Mirth; let us to business.
What question is eating you the most,
Adder"
Addicks smiled soft, Just as if he was
a minister annexing a subscription to
n church, and asks me what was the
Toughest Break Ever the Scrambled Oil
Outfit had made.
The Boss explanationed a few and I
worked me Think Tank hard for a min
ute, and sed:

Sure enough, the Smooth Mike from
Delaware put it way over me head, and
the Boss had to stand for me.
"Seignor Tomaso," sed Addicks, II
think l know you about as we'll as Jonah
did the Whale when he was using the big
fish as a Household and doing all his
business on Inside Information, but it
drives me to the Puzzle Board to get
next to why you went after the Life In
surance Companies so hard.
"They are the cleanest institutions in
the pasture and do more for the civiliza-
ton what don't fade or rip than any
other inflooence in the world.
"Of course, my mug isn't in the Silk
Plush Album of Saints, and if there's
any Real Coin in soaking 'em, why
you're to the good"
The Boss came back swift and sed:
I'm the first place, they've been too
Alright about issuing me insurance I
have asked for, and I think they are
too Friendly Fannie with the big money
boys on Wall Street.
In the second place, they've got more
money power than most governments,
and between us, Addie, I felt that if I put
my footprints on their Peachy Pants l
would not only~be kicking my enemy's
brother-in-law where it would do the
most Good, but would also arouse the
Public to fever interest by sticking pins
in their sacred white elephant early in
the Game.
"Of course it wasn't a nice thing to do,
but when a fellow is general manager Of
a Fourth Of July bonfire he's got to keep
the blaze high, yer if he has to swipe
the Hospital Gates to do it,"
The Boss exercised his face a hull lot
more about the insurance gazabos being
too Chesty, but I didn't get wise to it
much, because I couldn't help thinking
about the time when Dutchy Swartz' old
man died.
Chez! But them was tough times.
Dutchy's father was Aces Up. He
never drove home in the jag wagon and
was always Candy Kind to the old
woman and the kids. The day he fell
off the building where he was working
was the first job he had been able to cut
his name on for two months. When he
croaked a couple of weeks later there
wasn't a silver of grub in the house nor
a cent to coax the butcher with. The
coal box was boiler and the landlord
was as Icy Ike as a snowman.
It was nothing to eat, nothing to bury
the old man with, and nowhere to go but
in the street and get froze, when along
come the Insurance Guy and tells the
bunch that they had insurance money
coming to 'em. He rubbered about for 4
little, monkeyed with some papers, and
then hands 'em Coin right out of his
pants.
Hully Smoke! but you ought to seen
the old woman's face. 1t was like sun
shine rubbering through a busted snow
storm on Christmas day.
She couldn't spiel a word. She lust
cried soft and kissed the insurance guys
hand till his mug was as red as a auto
mobile.
Dutchy did a fast lap to the grocery.
and in a bugs wink there was grub, coal
and everything in the house. l stood
around like a dago cop at a dream chris
tening, and me lamps leaked so hard
that l didn't have to wash me face for
two days.

WINTER WEAKNESS
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we 10 not exer-
else az much and the skin and kidneysdo
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off. Relief can be had only
through the use Of a remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the II best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.

months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until I finally hadn'tstrength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then a glad day came, the day when
I began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, I took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. I took
only six boxes and then I was perfectly
well. It had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that I must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at a critical mo-
ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them
to others
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant but give strength that lasts.
They may be obtained at any drug

The relation of the nerves and gen-

it. 1t seems pity that the old set
tiers and their families cannot enjoy
their annual outing without having it
ruined by such debauching methods.
But of course, as in the case of the
Palladium, Patterson will claim he
has no interest in the deal, and is
deadly opposed to such procedure.
These annual gatherings of the old
timers have been greatly enjoyed in
the past as they have been free from
motive other than the reunion of old
settlers, the recalling Of early day in
cidents and the enjoyment of harm
less amusements. They should not
be turned into political gatherings by
any party or set of men and it is to
be regretted that in the present case
a number of people have been kept
away because it has been openly an
nounced that an attempt would be
made to make the picnic a medium
for the personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT of a
candidate for office. It is hoped in
the future no such element will be
allowed to come in and destroy the
intent of the gathering.
