COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only
medicines of known composition. There
fore it is that DR.. Pierce's medicines, the
makers of which print every ingredient
entering into them upon the bottle wrap
peFs and attest it's correctness under oath,
are daily growing in favor. The COM
position of Dr. Pierce's medicines is open
to everybody, DR.. Pierce being DESTROYS
of having the search light of investiga-
ton turned fully upon his formula, being
confident that the better the composition
of these medicines is known the more
will their great curative merits be recog-
nized. Being wholly made of the active
medicinal principles extracted from ma.
tive forest roots, by exact processes
original with DR.. Pierce, and without the
use of drop of alcohol, triple-refned and
chemically pure glycerine being used in
stead in extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from the objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al
coholic beverages or habit forming
drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by
Dr.. Pierce, and you will find that his

ant Posses with bloodhounds are
searching the countryside, and there is
q chance that the tramp will be lynch
ed if captured.
Mrs. Stech says the tramp came to
her door and demanded admittance.
She was alone in the house with her
three-year-old girl, and, frightened, she
closed the door in the mans face and
locked it. He commenced to break
down the door. Mrs. Stech carried her
little girl to a bedroom and locked her
in. She then ran to her telephone and
rang to call for help, but befores she
could speak the tramp had forced his
way in and seized her
She dropped the receiver, leaving
the telephone open, and the central
operator heard her first scream. For
half an hour the woman struggled des-
perately with her assailant all over the
little living room. Each time she found
herself near the telephone she scream
ed for help. In nearly every home on
the system to which her telephone be-
lOnged her screams were heard.
The first of her neighborS to arrive
found Mrs. Stech bound and uncon-
scfous. The tramp had disappeared
The men who started out to hunt him
down after hearing her story were
armed and said they would shoot the
tramp on sight.

His Wife Is Too Affectionate.

Charles B. Andrew, formerly an at
torney of Laporte, Ind, has begun
suit for divorce from his wife, a big,
handsome woman. Andrew is delicate
and nervous. According to witnesses,
Mrs. Andrew once pursued him into a
saloon, where Andrew lay hidden for
hours. She forced her way into a doc
tors office after him and also into an
other mans bedroom. She tried to
climb over the transom of his office
door, not to chastise him, but to make
love to him in a violent way, to which
he objects. She says she will force him
to love her and cares nothing for at
tentions any other men try to pay her.

WILDCAT FOR A PET.

Strange Playmate of Two Little Girls
In Pasadena.
How would you like to have a real
live wildcat for a pet? This is what
little Elsie Stearns, six months old, and
Helen Stearns, aged nine, daughters of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Stearns of Pasa-
dena. Cal, regard as their dearest
treasure.
They would rather play with this big
California wildcat than with their
smaller domestic cats, and he is just
as good natured as any of the rest too.
Bengal is his name, and he looks the
part, for his marking is very similar to
a bengal tigers. He is beautiful an
imal, about three and one-half feet long
and very heavy. His fur is soft and
thick, and it is with this soft fur that
the round faced baby loves best to
play.
He was caught when three months
old in the wilds of the San Bernardino
mountains and purchased from hunt
er at that age by Mr., Stearns. He has
been with the family since that time.
He was put with several small an
CORA kittens and grew up and played
with these. He used to roam the house
and jump on tables and bookcases, just
as other kittens, but he has grown too
large for that now, and they are
obliged to keep him in the open, for in
his playfulness he might break orna-
ments and dishes.
He Is devoted to the children. He
will lick the baby's hand and face and
let her play with him just as roughly
as she wishes, with never a growl or
sound, and he is also fond of little
Miss Helen. He likes women and chill
drep generally, but does not care for
men.
He knows instinctively his natural
enemies, however, and is ready to pro
tect himself. He does not like dogs,
and not very long ago a small dog
ventured into his kennel and was
thrown out and 'summarily killed with
one stroke by the powerful cat.
The dogs belonging to the Stearns
family, however, are exempt from this
treatment. He does not go near them,
but now and then runs up and gives
them a sly tap, as if to say, NOW will
you be good?'

The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-05-12

upon the office of chief justice of the supreme court as a more desirable place than that of President of the United States.
 Sitting at his table in the war depart ment MT. Taft Is an impressive and agreeable figure. His mighty bulk goes well with his height, his wide, square shoulders, massive bones and big strong head.
 Beneath the full, splendid white fore head jutting out at the brow, there springs a great aquiline nose-a signal of commanding force that is confirmed by the broad, strong jaws and aggres- sive chin-and on either side shine steady, clear blue eyes.
 MT. Taft's eyes are unusually large and of a singularly beautiful color The flesh enfolds them slitwise with odd lit tie creases and wrinkles at the corners, but when the lids lift one gets a strange suggestion of serene power and simpdici- ty in the flax-blue depths, as of the soul of a man looking out of the eyes of boy.
 It is a tremendous body not merely in weight. but in it's evident power, for when the Secretary of War moves across the room the walk of him is not ele- phantine, but swift, light, certain and those huge arms can strike a crushing blow. He was the wrestler of his class at Yale, and many a man remembers the terrific lurches of that giant figure in the college rushes. Nor has any man

ryat. As the tugs proceeded out of the harbor they were escorted by four sub marines, one of which dived in order to exhibit it's qualities in this respect
 Even those which were just awash were difficult to discover at times, and when, with marvellous celerity, the boat plunged below water only a trained eye could keep the top of the perlscope in sight until it entirely disappeared.
 This perscope Is a long tube rising above the vessel. which, somewhat on the principal of the camera obscura, reflects into the boat below a picture of what is above, so that as it is turned round the whole panorama may be observed, giving an impression of their value In threatening ships in narrow waters.
 A final exhibition was the home fleet, the ships of which lay peacefully at an- chor in the waters of Spthead, an impos- ing force, as to the fighting value of which there can be little doubt even among those who do not see eye to eye with the present admiralty
 The visitors were delighted with all they had seen and, although but few possibly adequately appreciated the munitions of war which excited their wonder, all rec ognized the care and forethought of the naval men who organized for them such a delightful show.

like in their movements, and the huge ing, and equally significant was the ac- euraey with which each of the missiles found it's mark. The lotilla was followed by a group of submarines, some in diving trim The difference in various types was very apparent. The earliest boats were only sixty-three rec; long, with displacement of 100 tons whereas the lat est boats are 130 feet long and have a dis placement of more than 300 tons, These boats, driven by gasolene engines, have q speed, on the surface, of about twelve knots, and when submerged, using their electric motors, move through the water at a rate of about mine knots The ex- hibition was simple, pretty and impress sive. The nerve, good judgment, and skill shown by those in charge was highly ap- preciated by the spectators.
 The next item in the programme was a drive through the backyard on the way to Whale Island. Opportunity was thus afforded to those present to inspect work in hand, and the various improvements which. have been introduced in recent years in the naval arsenal on the Whale Island
 The drill shed had been decorated with flags and trophies won at gunery practice Sixteen tables gave seating accommoda- ton for more than six hundred persons and ample accommodation of every de- scrption was provided During the lunch con band played, but there were no

seen MT. Taft dance without feeling of astonishment that one so ponderous can move so lightly.
 His skin is smooth and delicate in tex ture and his dark hair curiously fine, thinned above the forehead and partly bald at the crown.
 A large tawny-gray moustache sweeps upward and outward from a good-na- tured, humorous mouth that can sud denly open wide and utter Gargantuan laughter or as suddenly pale and draw down into a formidable sternness. n
 Sometimes, when MT. Taft drops lis head forward and sidewise, his facial re- semblance to Grover Cleveland Is star ting, but when he raises his counte- nance the suggestion vanishes instantly; you see how much finer Is the modelling of the nose, how much clearer, larger, deeper and more wide-set the eyes, how much more suave, polished and genial the personality. It Is, at glance, na- ture that will not lightly attack, but will resist moral invasion calmly, but to the uttermost a temperament so hu- man that the slightest touch will turn 1t from frowns to smiles

 PEN PICTURE OF MIR. TAFT.
Close impression of Mighty Man Who
 is Roosevet's Choice.

James Creelman, in Pearsons Magazine.
 The mystery of MT. Taft is really po- litcal bewilderment, for the character and life of the Secretary of War are simple and limpd. He wins the hearts of individuals, but he does not fire the heart of the sovereign multitude.
 The country respects and trusts his ability and integrity but it's attitude is that of passive recognition and approval. not the headlong affection that brings power to political leader of the first rank.
 Much has been genially written about the mountainous physique and girthiness of the Secretary of War. and the news paper which said that it hurt his feel
 ings to have his back mistaken for a
 buggy provoked a national smile that still
 continues; but 1t Is much more to the
 point to say that it would also hurt his feelings to be mistaken for time server or a demagogue.
 Even in this age of busy struggle worn men and women it Is worth while
 to consider an American citizen who, as
 an American judge, enforced the law
 with equal sternness against trusts and labor unions; created a government for the mixed and sullen Orientals of the Philippines; turned from successful deal- ings with naked Igorrote pagans and a Mohammedan Sultan personally to ne gotiate with the Pope in the vatican twice refused a longed-for seat in the Supreme court of the United States rathe than abandon the work of creating a stable, self-governing nation in the Phil ippines; wielded the powers of Secretary of War and secretary of state at the same time; took cheerfully the burden oi supervising the national mlA,ary estab- lishment while directing affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and ad- Nsing the nations policy in Hawaii; shap- | ing the general administration of the vast Panama canal enterprise-and al | the while cheerful, confident, full of the | sparkle of native humor and apparently l without hot political ambition, looking

Potatoes-rwo to a RusheI.

From the News Orleans Times Democrat. These here new potatoes is all right" said the sailor, putting nine or ten on his plate. They aint nothin' to the po- tatoes of Yucatan, though. By crinus, I've seen Yucatan potato as big as a pumpkin.
 .Makals is the native name It only takes a couple of makals to make a bushel They're very nutritious. My girl down there-you know us sailors has a girl in every port-my girl was as plump as an actress, and yet she never ate nothin but makals from one weeks end to another.
 'Its a common thing in Yucatan to hear servant yell upstairs to her mis- tress:
 'Nothin' in the house for dinner. ma'am.'
 And the mistress yells back Go out and buy quarter of a makal and we'll have it stewed with greens.
