THE PRESIDENT DISPLAYS HIS
POWERS IN PITCHING HAY.
Oyster Bay Folk Charmed by Exec
Works Like Populist.

NEW YORK, July lift Teddy Roose-
welt wasn't President he could make his
living pitching hay said Ned Maloney.
admiringly in the village store at Norwich.
L. l., last night.
All the loungers in the store sat up and
took eager notice
Was you over to Oyster Bay today,
Ned?' asked old 81 Hawkins, who was sit
ting on a cider key and slyly helping him.
self out of a cracker box.
Was I?' cried Maloney, proudly. II just
guess l was. President Roosevelt put his
hay crop in the barn on his Sycamore Hill
farm today and l helped him..
Dew tell,' chorused the loungers.
Tolls in White Duck.
The President came over to the field
about two hours after noontime," began
Maloney. He had on a white neglige
shirt and white duck pants, belted around
his waist, and one of them broncho-buster 4
hats. He had a hayfork over his shoulder.
and 1 wisht all the populists from here to
Calyforny could have seen him! There
wouldn't be any more pop tickets for Presi-
dent, by heck. They'd vote for Teddy for
life term.
There was three Oyster Bay fellows
there and me; they was pitching and was
loading" continued Maloney to his rapt
auditors. We'll, when the President Of
the United States showed up we was all
as bashful as a girl the first time her
Teller asks her to walk home from church
with her.
"'Hello, boys said Teddy.
'How'dy Mister PRESIDENT" We all
said.
Forget I'm the President boys said
Teddy. I'm a haymaker, that's ALL, and
he laughs to himself and says, I'm always
making hay, l am
els he? interrupted 81 Hawkins. I
never heard of it before
The Glad Hand.
well, he was today said Maloney.
But afore he started in he shook hands
with the three fellers in the field. They
were sort O. sweaty and they started to rub
their hands on their pants. But Teddy said.
Oh that's all right; I'm always glad to
shake the hand of the honest toiler, even If
1t is Warrior something like that
couldn't hear very well, being on top a
wagon.
We'll he started In, and-talk about hay
pitchers, Teddys wonder, by jimmy
crickets!' exclaimed Maloney. Before
the first load was done you wouldn't have
given one of Bills penny cigars here for
his white shirt. And talk about sweat!
Why the sweat was rolling off his fore
black walnuts. He didn't stop to wipe off
the sweat, either, but kept right on pitch
ing up big forkfuls. I swan, l believe he
could have tossed up Bill Taft If he got
him on his fork.
After we got two wagons loaded, drove
over to the new barn. Teddy walked ahead
of me with his fork over his shoulder.
When we got to the barn he climbed up on
lock- but he was sweating But he took
all the hay from my fork and moved 1t
away. Then he says, Goodbye, my boy, l
think this will do me good

His Release
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17,-Emil ].
thinner, second vice president and direc-
tor of the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company remains prisoner
in the county Jail, to which he was COM
mitted for five days by Judge Lawlor for
refusing to testify for the prosecution in
the Glass bribery trial.
No effort has been made to secure the
release of thinner on any ground, and it
is generally accepted as a fact that the
judgment imposed by the court is not re-
viewable by any other tribunal until the
expiration of the five days.
At that time thinner will be brought
into court and given another chance to
testify. If he refuses he will be recon-
mitted by Judge Lawlor for renewed con-
tempt, unless in the meantime his attor-
neys secure his release on a writ of
habeas corpus.

WEAR OUT WITH AGE
PRESCRIPTION is VALUED BY
ELDERLY PEOPLE.
Relieves Chronic Cases of Bladder
Trouble Promptly and Anyone Can
Prepare 1t at Home.

A great majority of men and wom-
en- at the age of so years begin to feel
the first signs of advancing age in
some form OF kidney trouble and blad-
der weakness. Few are entirely free
from that torturous disease, rneuma-
tism, which is not disease in itself,
but a symjton of deranged function
of the kidneys which have become
clogged and sluggish, failing in their
duty of sitting and straining the poi
sonous waste matter, uric acid, etc.,
from the blood, permitting 1t to re-
main and decompose, settling about
the Joints and muscles, causing in
tense pain and suffering.
The bladder, however, causes the
old folks the most annoyance, espec-
tally at night and early morning.
A noted authority in recent article
stated that he has wonderful success
with the old-time vegetable treat
ment. He states: "Of sixteen cases
of bladder troubles and rheumatism
which have been treated with this
treatment only one very complicated
case failed to fully yield to it's remark
able influence. 1t has the most HARM

clean the system of rheumatic poi
sons remove irritation of the bladder
and relieve urinary difficulties of the
old people. 1t is true yitalizing tonic
to the entire kidney and urinary struc-
ture, reinvigorating the entire system. T"
What he terms "old vegetable treat
ment" consists of the following sim
pie prescription, the ingredients which
can be obtained from any good phar-
macy at small cost: Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dande-
! lion, one-half ounce Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake

full doses after each meal and upon
going to bed, also drink plenty of
