Keeping the Public Informed.

Formerly publication of defects IN our
navy was dreaded because of the infor-
nation thus conveyed to foreign naval Of
ficers. Now it is known that any inter-
ested foreign power willing to make the
effort can always secure such informa-
ton regardless of our attempts at con-
cealment. Therefore, it has been decided
that good policy involves taking the
American people into the confidence of
the Navy Department itself to a larger
extent than ever before obtained. That is
why the chief constructor in his last an
nual report, with the full assent Of the
Secretary of the Navy and the general
board, so freely discussed all these alleged
defects in the disposition of armor and
in ship construction generally which are
now forming the basis of criticism in the
daily and periodical press.

CRITICISMS OF THE NAVY
MR.. METCALF WELCOMES FREE
AND FRANK DISCUSSION.
Plenty Of Room for Improvement
and Efforts Are Being Made to
Get Nearer to Perfection.

So far from being displeased with the
criticisms of the navy, in its personnel
as we'll as material, contained in recent
published magazine articles Secretary
Metcalf says he rather welcomes this
free and frank discussion of naval affairs,
where the purpose is one for the honest
betterment of the service. 1t happens that
he has had the opportunity, through the
courtesy of some of the publishers, to
learn in advance just what was about
to be said in these criticisms, and in many
cases he has not felt it necessary to enter
any dissent.
The Secretary and Rear Admiral Brown
son. chief of the navigation bureau, while
hurrying for the White House yesterday
to attend a conference with the President.
paused long enough to indicate their po-
sition in this matter as above indicated.
The fact is that great change has come
over naval officers recently. Many of
them are beginning to feel apprehensive
that the American people are in danger
of becoming overconfident in regard to
their navy. The natural result would be,
of course, failure to support the leading
SPLITS in the navy in their efforts to i'm
prove upon present conditions.

IN LIES BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal Of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over US In bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke Of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

Pumpkin Pie.

Some low-browed, pessimistical sta
tistician has arrived at the deduction
that pumpkins are growing scarcer
year by year. This means, of course,
that by the time the city folks get
vacation and hurry into the pastoral
country, the pumpkin pies will be all
gone. Some time ago the great prob
lem was Shall we open the minis to
the free coinage of silver" etc. Later
the question of How to be happy
though married." agitated the COM
monwealth. Now we are up against
the real thing, if we may be allowed
the slang of common parlance,-'Is
the pumpkin pie to become obsolete?"
Perish the thought! How we have
reveled in the luscious pumpkin slice!
1t recalls the halcyon days, the days
of aspiration and faith, before the
rude hand of experience blue-penciled
few things on the page of life. Up
TO the present time, we have been
permitted to recall this joyous period
by occasional communion with pump
kin pie. Now we are to be forever
cut off-the pumpkin is growing
smaller and smaller, fewer and fewer
each season, and will soon be a mere
curiosity for the sideboard. Time was
when at cattle shows pumpkins were
fed the bovine beauties to keep their
hair sleek, and the man who raised
the biggest pumpkin carried off the
finest prize. Alas, one by one the joys
OF youth are being swept away and the
pumpkin rolls into the dim beyond
along with other beloved things, a
niourned luxury of the old-fashioned
days. Somehow these statisticians are
depressing. They shatter many hap
Ply memory and create hobgoblins as
children build mud-houses. Vale the
pumpkin pie! But we still have plenty
of material left for mud-pies. Perhaps
We should be thankful for that

The One Chance.
The man we need today is he
Who sticks through rain and sun.
The one who fights the bitter fight
Until the prize is won
The secret of success is this:
Be always in the race
When Opportunity, my lad
Comes shopping round the place!
Don't start a thing with whoop and
whir
And push 1t like a streak,
To dwindle down and quit the game
The next day night week.
1t may be just the hour you leave
That Luck will show her face
And Opportunity, my lad.
Comes shopping round the placei
When you begin task that's big,
Don't chase butterfly.
Keep doing what you planned to do,
Until the harvest's by.
You won't amount to beans, a hill,
If you neglect the race
And Opportunity, my boy,
Just passes by your place!
For once she goes. she ne'er returns
At least this is the claim.
Don't be out chasing butterflies,
When she calls out your name.
Remember, she will call no more,
Nor leave a single clew,
II once she finds you not at home
When she has raped for you!

Snake Story.

A story is current of man living
near Kirk, in Banner county, being
bitten twice by rattlesnakes. 1t seems
he had stepped over a fence when one
snake struck him in the ankle. He
killed the snake and sat down to open
the wound with his knife, and while
thus occupied another RATHER bit him
on the back Of the hand He trans
ferred the knife to his left hand and
opened that also and then fastened
to the house. caught and opened a
chicken and placed it on the wounds.
Beyond some swelling neither bite
proved serious and he is getting along
nicely. We could not learn the mans
name.-Missouri Exchange.

WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna q great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right?
Is it more proper to call Peruna ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Cur reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh fem.
edy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca.
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is weakened con.
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength.
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
world has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff.
cacy Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc.
runa which constitutes specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present
state Of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein.
forced by such renowned tonics as
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR.
YDALIS F0RMOSA and CEDRON
SEED. ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
use Of Peruna, confirms this opinion
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter Of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this Judgment is NOT
over enthusiastic. When practical ex.
perience confirms well-grounded the
ory the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.

as Mitchell could not see his way clear
to fight Sullivan for $4,000 stake in
this country with the possibilities of
not getting fair play, as there was no
place set for the fight at the time
On February 10, 1892 William A.
Brady, Corbett's manager at that
time posted $1,000 with the sporting
editor Of the Morning World, George
Dickson, to bind a match with Mitchell
at the Olympic club, New Orleans
March 2. Mitchell ignored the CAL
lenge, but began negotiations at New
Orleans for fight with Sullivan.
Sullivan named the terms on which
he would meet Mitchell. The English
fighter objected to the size of the
stake. he would not consent to put up
more than $4,000, meantime Mr.. Brady
said that the forfeit he had posted
for match between Corbett and Nit
chell would stand for a match with
Sullivan. This was telegraphed to
Sullivan who requested his hackers.

This was by far the most important

that time. No two men ever fought
for so large a purse in those days, and
only in the Sullivan Killrain contest in

been SO large. It was the battle of the
