AJUSTICE MAKES A SPEECH
Judge Brewer, of Supreme Court,
for the Railroads.
Decides In Advance They Are Losing
Money-criticises Gov. Folk
Land Frauds Not Wrong.

Milwaukee, Wis = Associate JUS
tice Brewer of the United States
supreme court Wednesday night
delivered an address at the closing
session of the annual meeting of the
agents of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company Of which he
is one of the trustees.
There is much said about the rail-
roads," said Justice Brewer. at is
popular practice to say that they are
very wicked. For instance, like life
insurance companies. There has been
a great deal of wrong, such as grant
ing of special favors, bad stock specu-
lations and the like. But say to you
that taking the earnings and the
money invested in railroads as a
whole, there is not fair return on the
money invested. The attempt to
squeeze those who built up the rail-
roads and through them the country is
not right. The men who invested their
money are entitled to a reasonable
rate of interest.
MY friend Folk of Missouri has
my admiration in many ways. But sup
pose through such laws as Missouri
passed, the railroads will actually
lose money on carrying freight and
passengers. Will the state make the
loss good to them? have been given
to understand Gov. Folk has been
denouncing the federal courts for is
suing an injunction to the railways
in Missouri to protect them from the
operations of the state statutes"
Justice Brewer held that the rights
Ct the railroads should be protected
until the law demonstrates that the
roads can be made to net a reasonable
return upon the money invested.

PROUD IN HER POVERTY.
Young Woman's Brave Answer to In
suIting Landlord.

Frank P. Sargent, the United States
commissioner of immigration, said
one day in Washington:
There is fine stuff in some of these
poor people who come to uor shores.
1 heard recently of a young Swedish
woman. Brave, witty. and honorable,
she could bring splendid young
Americans into the world. A short
time after she arrived among US, her
husband got out of work. Naturally,
then, the rent fell behind. The land
lord called for it one day in her hus-
bands absence. He listened to the
young woman's tale of misfortune, re-
garding the while her yellow hair,
her clear blue eyes, her red mouth
and white teeth. Suddenly, bending
toward her, he said:
Give us a kissi'
"She drew back, and her blue eyes,
as cold as ice, dwelt on him disdain-
fully.
"'No,' she said, my husband and
may be too poor to pay our rent, but
we are not so poor that we can't do
our own kissing"

MISS HULDA KUGHLER

There is a beauty and attractive
ness in health which is far greater
than mere regularity of feature.
A sicklY, irritable, and complaining
woman always carries cloud of
depression with her; she is not only
unhappy herself but is a damper to
all joy and happiness when with her
family and friends.
1t is the bright, healthy, vivacious
woman who always charms and carries
sunshine wherever she goes.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging and that everything tires
her; if her feminine system fails to
perform its allotted duties. there is
nervousness, sleeplessness, faintness,
backache, headache, bearing down
pains. and Irregularities, causing
constant misery and melancholia,
she should remember that Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs will
dispel all these troubles. By correct
ing the cause of the trouble it cures
where other treatment may have
failed.
Miss Elizabeth Wynn, of No. POS
9Th Avenue, New York City, writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
"For months 1 suffered with dreadful
headaches, pain in the back and severe
hemorrhages 1 was weak and out of sorts
all the time Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound helped me when all other medi-
cine had failed. 1t seemed to be just what
I needed and quickly restored my health

The Goat Comes First.

Switzerland is the only country in
the world where the goat is placed
ahead of all other animals, and even
of human beings. If boy plaques
a goat he can be fined and sent to jail
If a person meets a goat on a path.
and drives him aside he can be arrest
ed.
If goat enters the yard of person
not his owner and is hit with club or
stone the person guilty of the offence
must pay 80 cents. If railroad train
sees a goat on the track the train
must halt until the animal can be
coaxed to remove himself. There's
many boy in America who wishes he
were a goat in Switzerland.
