Heroisrn.

There is a good deal Of heroism
in the world Of the sort that gets
into the public eye and receives med
ais as a reward, as the giving out Of
63 such tokens Of gold, silver or
bronze by the Carnegie hero fund
commission attests, comments writ
er in the Boston Transcript. There
is more of the splendid stuff indeed
than even the firmest believers in
human natures good qualities would
quite think possible without all the
gratifying figures at hand to prove its
existence. And when one reflects that
the heroism which may be known of
all men is only about One-thousandth
part as great as the sort that never
will and never may be known it
makes one feel that the world and
the times are good.

Steel Steamer Colonel and
Tug Robert Emmett Ar
rive at Noon.

Navigation on Chequamegon
bay to the port of Washburn was
opened today by the arrival of
the steamer Barker at $50 a. m.
from Bayfield,. The boat had
very little difficulty in making a
passage through the ice along
this side of the bay. there being
considerable open water. The
Sarah Smith also succeeded in
getting out of the slip at the
mill docks. The tug Robert
Emmett arrived from Bayfield,
at noon to coal up, and the large
steel steamer Colonel which was
bound from Duluth to Ashland
encountered such heavy ice in
the middle of the bay that it
could not get through and it
came in here and tied up at the
Commercial dock.

Rest is tho great restorer. We
tire our muscles by exercise and
then rest to restore them; yet a
great many of US do not stop to
think how little rest we give to our
stomachs. AS a usual thing no part
of our bodies is so generally over
worked as our digestive organs. A
tired and overworked stomach will
give signs of distress to which we
pay no heed until at last Dyspepsia
takes hold. Indigestion is just a
warning. and if we head the warn
ing we can easily avoid further con-
sequences. KODOL is most thor
ough stomach relief 1t digests
what you eat and gives the stomach
the needed rest and greatly assists
in restoring it to its normal activity
and usefulness. KODOL is sold on

THE PRIME MINISTER.
He Is the Real Ruler of the Great Brit
ish Empire.

He Is the Real Ruler of the Great Brit
ish Empire.
The real ruler of the British en-
pire is not the titular sovereign nor
the hereditary nobility. 1t is the
leader Of the political majority, who
derives his power solely from the di-
rect vote of the people. The prime
minister of England is subordinate
neither to the king nor the house
of peers. Every man who shares
with him in the work of the gov
eminent is his subordinate.
Following a general election the
sovereign sends for a member of the
majority party and instructs him to
form a government. This is one of
those fictions of the constitutional
authority of the sovereign to which
the English people cling as to the
heritage of tradition. The sum-
mons is delivered, but it is merely a
form. The party leader is such not
by the grace of the sovereign, but
by the choice of the majority; not
by election, but because he has the
qualities of leadership.
The leader, having received the
sovereign's instructions to form a
government, becomes by that man
date the autocrat of the, empire.
His power is absolute. Like the
president, he may appoint whomso-
ever he pleases a member of his cab
met, but, unlike the president, he
is not Influenced by geographical
considerations, nor does he have to
submit his nominations to the sem
ate. In both countries the men,
bers Of the cabinet hold office at the
will of the appointing power, but
the tenure of office is even more
precarious in England than it is in
the United States. Here minister
may differ from the president on a
matter of policy and not feel it in
cumbent upon him to resign. In
England there can be no differences.
Either minister agrees with his
chief or he resigns.
In England the cabinet is an ex-
ira legal creation. Nominally it is
one Of the committees of the privy
council, whose functions are toad
wise the sovereign, but this is SIM
ply survival Of mediaevalism. Ths
cabinet is under the sole control of
the premier, unhampered by royal
or other interference. But-anoth-
er survival-no member of the cab
met may make public any matter
discussed by the cabinet without the
express sanction Of the sovereign,
and when the premier issues a sum-
mons to a cabinet council, which
meets at irregular intervals, accord
ing to the exigency of public bust
ness, the minister is requested to
attend a meeting of his majesty's
servants. "A. Maurice Low in Ap-
pleton's Magazine.

Old Ace and Work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men
who have made competency in BUSH
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declining
in health and becoming prematurely
old for want Of occupation In most
aged persons the vital functions con-
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but If the regularity and
moderation of business life are depart
ed from trouble will surely follow
