Women in Politics.

LONDON, December 13.-The Pail Nal,
Gazette sayc that the substance matter of
the controversy between President Roose-
welt and Belamy Storer, not forgetting Mrs.
Storer, appears to be whether Mr.. Roose-
welt authorized the ambassador to do his
best with the pope to obtain the red hat for
Archbishop Ireland. On that point, it is
said, the public will form it's own judg-
ment.
There is, however, says the Pail Mall,
''the further question of what the French
would call Tingerence feminine and it's in

sciatica Cured After Twenty
Years Of Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr. J. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton St., Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica. The
pain and suffering which he endured
during this time is beyond comprehen-
sion. Nothing gave him any permanent
relief until he used Chamberlain Pain
Balm. One application Of that liniment
relieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bottle
has effected permanent cure. If trou-
bled with sciatica or rheumatism why
not try 25 cent bottle of Pain Balm
and see for yourself how quickly it re-
lieves the pain. For sale by The Kauf-
mann Drug Go.

bad ones.
The penitentiary and the scaffold
were often predicted for them, yet
they came out on top-a credit to
their parents and to their country. A
boy has a certain amount of animal
spirit. He may run wild like a colt
for time, but if he is never driven
away from the home which is his
tether he will always return to the
fold, a better and a Drawer man. Give
your boy a chance. Tell him that
you believe in him; that you know
he will weather all the storms, and
you have laid the foundation for a
staunch manhood, a reputable and
worthy citizenship.
This world would be a dreary old
place without boys. The sun would
not shine so bright, nor would the
birds sing so sweetly if they were not
with us. Boys were never made to
be saints; their faults will disappear
as they advance in life. Knowing
that, you should never complain of
youc lad.-Asheville Citizen.

Washington, May "a. - Senators
Overman, of North Carolina, and
Bacon, of Georgia, have succeeded in
having the senate pass bill that
means much to the Southern cotton
mill interests. That is the bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for the purpose Of
making Investigations as to the best
markets for cotton goods in foreign
fields. This bill has been before the
senate for some time and has encount-
cred sharp fight from those who op-
posed the spending of government
money for the exploitation of new
fields for cotton goods.
The bill provides that agents, to be
sent out under the direction of the
department of commerce and labor,
are to make full Investigations and re-
port as to the opportunities for and
the obstacles against the enlargement
of our export trade in cotton goods,
the kind and qualities of goods in de-
mand, the shipping facilities, freight
rates, and the commercial and finan-
cial agencies necessary for the sue
cessful competition Of our cotton man
ufacturers and exporters in foreign
trade; to collect full lines of the STAN
dard specimens of all cotton products
consumed there, to exhibit them in
the different cotton mill and indus
trial centers of the United States,
classified, labeled, and arranged for
exhibition, with complete information
as to the countries in which they are
produced, wholesale and retail prices,
the patterns in demand by different
localities, and by different classes of
consumers, and the essential condi-
tions of competition to be met in each
market for each kind Of goods.
The great Importance of this bill
will readily be seen when it is taken
into consideration that the nlanufac-
tured products, including cotton yarn,
made abroad from cotton shipped
from the United States, aggregate
$500, 1000, 900 year, while the part of
American manufacture which is ship
ped abroad is only seo,OoO,ooo. 1t is
said that the amount of the cotton
crop in it's manufactured raw state
goes abroad, excluding the amount OF
raw cotton consumed by our factories
at home, represents every year more
than all the gold that is produced in
all the mines of the world.-Washing-

Believe in Your Boy.

The other day we heard father
say that his boy was mo account"
and we could not butrefect that there
is a small chance for a boy when his
father has no hope for him. We be-
lieve in any boy. If he be given a
chance, fair field and no favors, he
will some day be heard from. The
boy who gives promise Of "going to
the dogs" needs the same helping
hand that you would extend to a
drowning person. There are many
swollen streams in a boys life, and
the bridges which he must cross are
often weak. He needs your encour-
agement and assistance to help him
across, less perchance he sink. The
boy is worth saving, he is entitled to
your protection. When the paternal
hand is withdrawn, whose assistance
can he depend on? There comes a
crisis in evervbody's life, a period
when he must choose between the
high road and the low. 1t is at that
time he needs your prompting; yet
we often see him turned aside by the
criticisms of sisters, the taunts of old
er brothers, and the half hearted en-
couragement of the father who once
stood at the same forks of the road.

What the Hen Does.

We are frequently-too frequently
told Of the great things men do; how
they. dig into the earth or build upon the
earth or dam up the waters and irri-
gate the earth, but human enterprises
of which we boast so much sink into
insignifcance when compared to the
records achived by the ordinary hen.
The cackle Of the hen that has laid
an egg is modest and unobtrustive
compared with mems noisy buster
about their business.
But in proportion to the noise made,
the hen has the far more genuine sub
stance.
In two months, she lays more value
than the annual production of all the
gold mines of the United States.
Every three months she produces
more than the years production of
pig iron,
Her eggs for six months are worth
mora wealth than the capital stock OF
all the banks in the New York clear
ing house.
In less than two years she could pay
off the national debt.
The annual report of the secretary
of agriculture shows that last year the
eggs of the United States were worth
more than the cotton or the wheat,
more than all the potatoes, the barley,
the tobacco, the sugar cane and the
rice. They practically equal the dairy
product and are surpassed only by the
corn crop of a bumper corn year.
And the hen made new record last
week. On one day there were receiv-
ed in New York over 40, 900 cases con-
tanning ZOO eggs. The hens
business for one day in one city
amounted to S250,000.

CAUSE OF CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Movement Declared to BE Wholly
Due to individuals, Not Nation.
No doubt the boycott was wholly due
to the stringency of the exclusion law,
but the paramount object of the move
ment is to raise the Chinese people to
an equal footing with ally other people
In relation with the United States and
not for securing the actual economic
advantage OF exporting laborers to
America, says Z. Y. Chang in the Re-
view of Reviews. 1t is for national
right and dignity rather than for any
thing else. There are, however, more
important points regarding this ques-
ton that should be carefully exam
ined; that is-frst, the boycott has
never been authorized by the govern
ment; second, the boycott has never
been carried out with any forcible or
violent means.
The government has done nothing
toward promoting the boycott. On the
contrary, the Pekin authorities have
tried hard to advise the merchants to
modify their disposition. But no gov
eminent in the world, however absolute
it may be. has power to compel its sub
jects to buy goods from a certain coun-
try unless they are willing to do so,
No doubt this disagreeable movement
has been started by those who had per.
sonally suffered maltreatment under
the regulations of the Chinese immi-
| grafton service Office. But there has
been not the least sign Of violence OF
force, as the boycott has spread through
several provinces. 1t is purely volun
tary action of individuals. So long as
there Is no disturbance Of peace, 'boy
cott'' Is considered q legitimate move
ment by any civilized country OF the
world. 1t is a commercial design and
not a warlike scheme 1t is an indi
vidual action and not a national policy

upon which the recent alarming news

"Women do not go into business to

A sharp-pointed implement should
never be employed TO clean rings, as it
loosens the stones. Soak them in liquid
ammonia and the dirt viii be loosened.
Afterward they should be polished with
a soft cloth. 1t is good plan to keep
rings in sawdust, as 1t enables the gems
to retain their brilliansy. Warm water
and little prepared chalk are all that
are required to clean plain or chased
rings.
