Smoking In Congress.

The rule against smoking in con-
gress was adopted some years ago at
the suggestion of the late Senator In
gals Of Kansas. The Kansas senator
complained one day that smoke was
being waited into the chamber from
the corridors or cloakr0oms. Other
senators Joined the Kansan In protest.
The rule was passed. Later 1t de-
velOped that the smoke came from
burning waste near the capitol, and
the wind carried 1t into the building.
When 1t reached the olfactories Of Mr..
Ingalls, 1t reminded him Of Kansas
cigar. But the discovery Of the mis-
take did not abate the rule.-Washing-

Tn. Silent Girls Attractions.

There are a few negative virtues
which cOnduce more to the comfort Of
the possessor and those associated with
him or her than a talent for holding
ones tongue. To know when to speak
and equally when to be silent 10 no
small part Of the necessary equipment
for life. Many man passes for wise
simply by means Of saying nothing
and looking intelligent when others
speak, while those who talk least make
fewest enemies.
A woman especially to be attractive
must preserve sense Of reserve. She
must. so to speak. keep up a certain
amount of mystery about herself. To
many persons this reserve Is in itself

modern novel the imaginative hero

MORE ABOUT MEAT.

Monday the World printed a News
Story about Bad Meat.
One or Two Interested Parties say
it was Too StrOng-But Most OF the
People say the Story was not half
SO Strong" as the Meat!
As whole, this Meat Scandal is
an Undesirable Theme, and the
World regrets the necessity OF DIE
eussing it, We would much prefer
TO leave the Whiffy Subject I'M
touched.
But the HEALTH OF THE PEO-
PIE IS AT STAKE-and if the
STEAK is the source of so much
sickness the People should Know it.
The World does not know that Bad
Meat really caused the present cpl
demic. But many People bought
Meat which was BAD, and they in
sist that it Made them Sick.
The Authorities are After the
Truth.
The local Health Official is doing
his duty impartially.
With the arrival of the State In
spector matters will take shape, and
developments ensue.
The Men Who Sell Meat say that
they have not disposed of Any that
was Bad; they also deny treating
decayed meat with formaldehyde, or
other preservatives. The State In
spector will collect the evidence. and
prosecutions will follow If the Law
has been Violated. The people will
soon learn whether Antique Meat
and Formaldehyde Gravy has been
Handed out to Them.
Some People have Knocked the
World for talking about this Meat
Scandal-But they had AN AK Ito
Grind. The World itself describes
Sensationalism. But it feels in
Questions of this nature, that Silence
is Cowardly.
Sometimes Weakened, Truck
ling News (?)papers are Voiceless on
similar subjects, being bribed out
right or Silenced through Fear of
Giving Offense to possible Advertis-
ing Patrons.
But the World is an Independent
Newspaper-the organ of no private
interests; it Boosts" worthy enter
prises and exposes shams. 1t is not
intimidated by the Size of the Trans
gressor.
Let the State Inspector come and
do his work thoroughly; the Truth
can Injure no Meat Man who is play
ing Fair, Straight Game.
The popularity of Chickens and
their by-product," Hen Fruit, as ar
ticles of food, is not one whit abated
by the Meat Scare.
Vegetarians are also having their
inning, and Blackberry Branding is
Selling Fast.

Almost a Miracle.

A good hearted curate who firmly
believed that God was continually
working miracles to enable him to help
the needy and who seldom had coin
In his pocket though he was never de-
void Of the fire of charity in his heart,
was accosted one day by beggar wo-
man. He pleaded utter lack Of money
and sadly turned aside, but on the
mendicant beseeching him to search
his pockets he hopelessly put his hand
In one and, to his amazement and Joy,
found five shilling piece there.

claimed, and then, addressing the wo-
man: "This coin belongs to you Of
right Take it and go in peace" Hav-
ing told the story few hours later to
his worldly minded vicar and suggest
ed that they should both go down on
their knees and render thanks to God,

gestive of thanksgiving, Good Lord,

Can't recall a newspaper man
in all Minnesota who is wealthy
as wealth is counted now. Those
who started when they did in
business, very many of them are
rich, but the newspaper man
who works early and late, failed
to gather in the shekels. I know
a newspaper man works harder,
more constantly, than most
any other class, and gets the
poorest reward for his labors
than any other class on Gods
green earth. But yet, the ranks
will be filed at all times, there
is a certain charm about the
newspaper business which capti-
Yates many a man, and keeps
him under the yoke, no matter
how it gals him or what the
results.

ones are taking their place, or

note the many young fellows
who are getting into the harness,

No town will become a good
business center so long as it's
business men rely on a few mer-
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town. Too often the
men in a few lines of trade are
about the only ones that reach
out after customers. Other
merchants walt until these men
induce the people to come to town
and contend themselves with
what naturally drifts to their
place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing
his part to attract people to come
to town and trade in helping the
entire business community, and
no town is a success unless all
lines are working to extend the
trade as far as possible and try
ing to bring a larger territory
into the circle of which the town
is the business center.

Ducks and Brakes"

scribed in the words Of an old writer
as "a kind Of sport or play with an
o1ster shell or stone thrown into water
and making circles yer it sinke." If
the stone energies once, it is duck;
If 1t energies more than once, the game
proceeds according to the following
rhyme:

3, And a halfpenny cake;
4, And penny to pay the old baker;
g. A hop an a scotch

that played even today by every boy

ITO the Bitter EndN

One of the most interesting phases of
the study of language is the peculiar
manner in which words and phrases
originating in mistakes finally grow
into the common speech Of the people.
An instance Of this is the expression
ito the bitter end" which is comm on
~ used to denote the final extremity
OF a crisis. Although perfectly proper
today, it i; = ::asc2...ty !, mistake. The
correct phrase is to tie better end''
and arose from the fact that when a
vessel has paid out all her cable in a
storm it has run out to the end which
has been little used and therefore to
the better end. Daniel Defoe uses the
proper phrase in Robinson Crusoe" in
his description of the storm at Var
mouth when he says, 1--WE rode with
two anchors ahead and the cables veer-
ed out to the better end"

Dozen Other Persons Injured by Dyna-
mite Explosion.
New York, March 5--A roundup Of
tunnel employees and canvass of the
neighborhood revealed the damage
wrought when several pounds of dyna-
mite exploded at Homestead, N. j.,
Saturday night.
One man, George Johnson, a switch
man, Is missing and Is believed to
have been blown to atoms; four per-
sons were severely, and twice as
many slightly injured; the. plant Of
the Pennsylvania railroad contractors
was wrecked; one house was torn to
pieces; 400 houses lost their windows,
while half dozen homes and Gever-
naud's silk factory were considerably
damaged. The seriously injured were
removed to hospital, where it was
said all would recover.
The dynamite was the property of
Bradley & Sons, the contractors who
are building that section Of the Penn
sylvania railroads North river tun-
mel connecting the Jersey side with
New York city. 1t was stored in a
frame building twenty by forty feet,
located about 1900 feet from the pro
posed end Of the tunnel, where 100
men were working ander ground.
None of these were injured.

The KIDNEYS ARE
FIRST TO WEAR OUT
Few Elderly People Know What to Do
in These Cases and Should Try
This Simple Home Mixture.

The great majority of men and
women at the age of SO years be-
gin to feel the first signs of ad.
vancing age in some form of kid
ney trouble and bladder weak
ness. Few are entirely free
from that torturous disease,
rheumatism, which is not a
disease IN itself, but a symptom
OF deranged function of the kid,
neys which have become clogged
and sluggish, falling in their
duty of sitting and straining the
poisonous waste matter: uric
acid, etc, from the blood, per
hitting it to remain and decom-
pose, settling about the joints
and muscles, causing intense
pain and suffering.
The bladder, however, causes
the old folks the most annoyance.
especially at night and early
morning.
A noted authority in a recent
article stated that he has wonder
full success with the old.time
vegetable treatment. He
states: ''Of sixteen cases of
bladder troubles and rheu matis m
which have been treated with
this treatment only one very
complicated case failed to fully
yield to it's remarkable influence.
1t is the most harmless treat
ment have ever found to clean
the system of rheumatic poisons;
remove irritation of the bladder
and relieve urinary difficulties of
the old people. 1t is a true vital
ling tonic to the entire kidney
and urinary structure, reinvigor
ating the entire system"
What he terms cold vegetable
treatment" consists of the fol-
lowing simple prescription, the
ingredients in which can be OBJ
tanned from any good pharmacy
at small cost: Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one half ounce; Com.
pound Syrup. sarsaparllla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and upon going
to bed, also drink plenty of
water. This prescription, though
simple, is always effective in the
diseases and affections of the
kidneys and bladder.
