Henry CLAW and Lew Wallace.

''Mr Clay was of a personality once
seen never to be forgotten. Tall,
slender, graceful, he had besides the
air majestic which kings affect, i'm
agining it exclusive property.
Throughout Mr.. Clay's performance
my eyes scarcely left his countenance,
which, as he proceeded, sank fro1s
sight until, by the familiar optical
illusions, nothing of it remained but
the mouth, and that kept charging
and widening until it seemed an elias
tic link holding the ears together.
Indeed, at this late writing, my one
distinct recollection of the man and
his speech is the mouth and its capac-
ity for infinite distension "-Autobiog-
raphy of Lew Wallace.

A Precious Heritage.

Sweetness of temper is a precious
heritage. 1t gives beauty to every.
thing. 1t keeps it's windows open to-
wards the spice country, and fills the
home with perpetual delight. The for

Gods evangel in a dark world. He is
a living Gospel, which no one will
ever repudiate, and the blessedness OF
which all men will appreciate. The
body will grow old and the smooth
brow will be furrowed, but a happy
disposition is an aureole to the grey
crown of age. Blessed is he whose
life looks out upon the land of Beulah,
and whose soul is responsive to the

gray or drab suit. He continued to
wear this costume while he was in
France. Once when his court suit
was not ready, he appeared in his

He became the fashion of France. and

expensive town in the world. 1t is a
thriving place with a population OF

banks, electric lights, wholesale and
retail stores and two up-to-date news

are worthy of consideration in the
light of expense, for they cost 25 cents
a copy. At this time of the year three
eggs ordered in a restaurant cost

OF Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but a great many
women. unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of to-day, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and containing-nobody
knows what. If they would just get
a box of Brandreths Pills, and take
them regularly every night for time,
all their trouble would disappear, as
these pills regulate the organs of the
feminine system. The same dose al
ways has the same effect, no matter
how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

APPEARS
State Committee
SeemSto Favor
Justice.
OTHERS NAMED

TRENTON, Aug. 14-Between the
lines of the republican state commit
tee meeting yesterday could be read
a strong undercurrent of feeling for
Supreme Court Justice Franklin Fort
for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination. None of the committee
men would commit themselves when
approached, the invariable response
to questions being that there were
many good men available. Neverthe-
less, the sentiments expressed indi-
Gated that Justice Fort is the subject
OF some very deep thought of highly
favorable character.
{. Asa Francis, former senator and
now sheriff of Monmouth county,
seemed TO think that former Supreme
Court Justice Gilbert Collins could
win in walk should the nomination
strike in his direction Secretary of
State Samuel D. Dickinson is also
numbered among the admirers of
Judge Collins. This fact was not
widely heralded lest the friendship of
the boss of Hudson might prove fatal
to the Collins boom.
Justice Collins is not looking for
the nomination. He seems to be
highly amused at the use TO which
his name is being put. He resigned
from the bench for financial reasons
and it is not believed that private
practice has so far lost its allurements
IN nnf f1h hpr. .ly %
public life at salary no higher than
that which he surrendered only few
years ago. 1t is also said that if Mr.
Collins should again turn his atten-
tion to Office a chancellorship would
be more attractive to him that the
governors chair.
Senator Joseph Sherman Freling-
huysen, of Somerset, had quite a
boom for the dark horse of the
coming convention. Not few OF
those who expressed themselves were
OF the opinion that in case a deadlock
should develop the father of the au-
tomobile law would have a mighty
fine chance to land.
week or so ago the boom OF
Sheriff Frank H. Sommer, of Essex
was pronounced dead by the wise
ones. Whether it was the ghost OF
that New Idea prospect, or the pros
pect resurrected, it was impossible tc
learn, but the republican state com
mittee fears that the rumored de
mise of the Colbyites' movement is 6
gross eXaggeration. "Of course
Sommer can't make it, they reassur
ingly told themselves. but some OF
them seemed prepared to be sur
prised.
The committee took peek over in
to the enemy's back yard before de-
parting. Former Mayor Frank S.
Katzenbach, of Trenton, seemed to be
the likeliest specimen therein con-
tained, though former Judge Francis
Child, of Essex, attracted consider
able attention.
