Why He Refused Supreme Court.


Everybody knows that Mr.. Taft
turned down an appointment 70 the

that a change Of governors OF the Phil

result in injury 20 the islands and IN
forfeiture OF the confidence OF the
Filipinos. who would not understand
the reasons for his recall On Two
other occasions. according TO inside
history, which is absolutely correct,
Mr.. Taft refused the same position

seven years had Deer cured Of the

painful eruptions all over her body,
especially the upper part Of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

From Woman'S Home Companion.
Familiarity, in business or out.
breeds contempt between men and
women. 1t is all very we'll to say that
the modern girl is happier in the end
for losing some Of her Illusions re-
garding men. Perhaps. But If she
gains along this line she loses by hav-
Ing no more illusions about Woman
hood, wifehood and motherhood. Only
the woman who can hold these sacred
for herself n the man she loves en-
riches the home life In America and
leaves to her country the heritage of
we'll balanced sons and daughters.
The woman embittered by the con-
tempt which follows familiarity with
men in business sees in matrimony
only relief from irlssome toll. For her.
marriage does not represent the full
hlment of her highest destiny, the most
wonderful opportunities of womanhood.
She is not reaching out for the CROWN
ing happiness Of her life. She is
grimly trying to choose the less OF
two evils.
And this brings us to the gravest
problems Of this trinity of discussions,
the influence of the business woman
on the home life OF America.

En~EIishnan'a First and successful

The Winnipeg (Cnnada) Free Press
Of q few days since contains account
of the success that followed the efforts
of William Knowles, an E%nglishman
who located near Manitoba. This is but
one of many letters giving experiences
OF settlers and should be encouraging
to those who are looking about for q
new home in which they may better
their conditions. The following 10 \
copy of the article referred to:
William Knowles, who %cultivates
some twelve acres Of land just below
Mid~dlechurch ferry on east side Of
the Red River, has probably as fine q
display of horticultural products as
any In Manitoba. The whole of his
holding Is In a high state Of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have fortu-
nately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within a few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1900 bushels from his
patch Of AZ acres. A h~alf-dozen Of
tubers selected yesterday average more
than a pound each. Adjoining the po-
tatoes may be seen a marvellous collec-
ton Of tomatoes. There are GOO plants,
all growing under an enormous weight
Of fruit. One single stock picked yes
terday contained eighteen tomatoes and
weighed four pounds. This extraordin-
airy example Of marvellous growth, to-
gether with some of the potatoes, were
sent to the Free Press Office.
The proprietor was the first in town
with several specimens, including green
corn. The season has beer very favor
able for onions, and one square patch
of nearly an acre is looking remark
ably healthy. In addition, there are
good crops Of cabbages, caulidower,
turnips, parsnips, carrots, pumpkins,
marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas, let
tuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral depart
ment has not been neglected, and a
charming display of all the well-known
blooms were shown, including a spe-
cially choice lot of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most of his
gardening experience in England, is
loud in his praise OF Manitoba soil for
vegetable raising, and is gratifed with
the result of hig first attempt at exten.
sive horticulture.

story of a western trapper.
The trapper, noticing a place where
roots had been dug up, examined the
