The President on Foreiun Soil.

For the first time in the history OF
the United States the chief executive
has gone beyond the confines of our
country and has set foot on foreign
soil. The Panama canal was the i'm
mediate purpose n motive of the
visit. In 1853 was the first time the
public had an opportunity to test the
merits of the famous Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, but since then it has es-
tablished an u~nequalled record of cures
of stomach, liver INT bowel disorders.
In January, 1906, the pure food and drug
commissioners passed their famous
pure food bill, and the fact that the Bit
tiers upon analysis was found to be COM
pounded strictly in accordance with its
provisions proves it to be a safe medi-
cine to cure indigestion, dyspepsia,
c~ostiveness, biliousness, colds, female
ills or malarial fever. Try a bottle to-

INoPPORTUNE DEATHS.
Men Who, Had They Lived, Might
Have Changed History.

Have Changed History.
Julius Caesar was assassinated when
he had almost completed the task of
consolidating the administration and
dominion of the Roman empire, and
his death opened the way to that des-
potism and corruption which ultimate
~ undid his work. Henry Of Navarro
was killed when he had almost healed
the differences between Catholic and
Protestant which subsequently rent
not only France, but Europe, and Will
liam the Silent also fell when he was
on the point of uniting the Netherland
provinces into compact barrier
against the encroachments of Spain.
In English history Lord Give died at
the moment when he was the one man
who could have saved the American
colonies and kept the Anglo-Saxon race
united But there is the case of Mira
beau. He was literally the one man In
France who could have averted the
horrors of the revolution, saved and
reformed the monarchy and SO spared
Europe the murderous career of Napo-
leon and all the devastation it brought.
II he had lived ten or even five years
longer, the history not only Of France,
but of Europe and the world, would
have been different. 1t is. In fact, suf-
hcient to say that he would have made
both Robespierre and Napoleon impos-
sible.-Strand Magazine.

ways Hoped He Would.
Moore was dying. Baird was Sc
verely wounded. The early winter
night vas creeping over the field Of
battle, and Hope, gallant soldier
though he was, judged it prudent to
stay his hand Soult had been
roughly driven back. The transports
were crowding into the harbor. 1t
was enough to have ended long re-
treat with the halo of victory and
to have secured an undisturbed en-
barkation.
Meanwhile Moore had been car
ried into his quarters at Coruna. A
much attached servant stood with
tears running down his face as the
dying man was carried into the
house. 'My friend" said Moore.
at is nothing!" Then, turning to a
member of his staff, Colonel Ander-
son, he said: Anderson, you know
[ have always wished to die in this
way. | hope my country will do me
justice" Only once his lips CULVER
ed and his voice shook as he said
s'Say to my mother" and then stop
ped, while he struggled to regain
his composure. sStanhope," he said
as his eyes fell on his @aid-de-camp' S
face, remember me to your sister"
the famous Hester Stanhope,
Pitts niece, to whom Moore was en-
gagged. Life was fast and visibly
sinking, but he said, 81 feel myself
SO strong fear | shall be long dy-
ing"
But he was not. Death came
swiftly and almost painlessly. Wrap
ped in a soldiers cloak, he was car
ried by the light of torches to a
grave hastily dug in the citadel at
Coruna, and far off to the south, as
the sorrowing officers stood around
the grave of their dead chief, could
be heard from time to time the
sound of Soult's guns, yet in sullen
retreat. That scene is made i'm
mortal in Wolfe's noble lines:
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face that
was dead,
And we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought as we followed his narrow
bed
And smoothed down his lonely pillow
That the foe and the stranger would
tread Ger his head,
And we far away on the billow.

LEATHER BOUND BOOKS.
A Little VaseIine Improves and Pre-.
serves the Binding.

A Little vaseIine Improves and Pre-
serves the Binding.
An official of the Congressional IL
brary was talking with friend who
recently had purchased a handsome set
of leather bound volumes and said:
'You had better examine those vol
umes carefully to see II the leather
needs feeding. If it is new stock they
will be all right let alone for several
years, but if they have been on the
shelves for some time the leather will
have lost most of It's natural oil and
become brittle. This applies especially
to books kept in private houses, which
are as rule much hotter than the book
stacks Of large library. There Is
nothing more attractive than fresh,
well preserved leather binding on a
volume and scarcely anything less SO
than dilapidated, cracked one.
"You can add years to the life of a
leather binding and hundred per cent
to it's appearance by rubbing In little
vaseline with a piece of raw cotton
not too much, just as much as the
leather will thoroughly absorb, Where
the binding bends is where it is most
likely to crack. The leather will not
be greasy, as the vaseline will be alb
sorbed. One treatment every year or
two is sufficient unless the books are
unduly exposed to Washington
