Fen Gents Blocked Traffic,

On lower Broadway few days ago little, old woman, with a coarse shawl wrapped around her shoulders and an old rish lace frill cap on her head, bent peering on the asphalt pavement, to tally oblivious to the great danger she was in, owing to the congested traffic. In reply to a po- liceman who approached her, she said at the worn old face, the bluecoat, too, got busy, and when two neWsboys joined in, street car stopped and then another. The driver of a big truck clambered down and joined in the search and in a few minutes all traffic in the busiest part of the city was as effectively blocked as if the fire brigade had possession of it. els this part of it?" said the policeman. who had found dime. "Yes, sire, '' said the old woman, joyfully, that's the lot of it'' She stretched her small, gnarled hand for the small coin, and then the policeman led her back to the curb. The cars rattled on, the big truck swung on it's way and the big policeman stood silently at his post. No one thought to jibe or swear, as they saw the look of joy come into the old woman's eyes when the lost coin was returned.

Fine Home Prescription for the Relief of Rheumatism and Kidney and Bladder Troubles.
FOR THE SUFFERING
Cut This Out and Save It. or Hand It To Some One Who is Afflicted, Which Will Be Act of Hu. manity.

A large Eastern publication tells it's readers of a number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. The following, how ever, for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receives the greatest Praise, viz, Fluid EX tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com pound Kargon, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These simple vegetable in-
 gradients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in bottle.
 The dose for adults is q teaspoon ful after each meal and at bedtime, drinking a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is further stated that this prescription is positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary diffi- culties, especially of the elderly peo- pie, and one of the best things to be used in rheumatic afhictions relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellngs in just a short while.
 we'll known local druggist states that the Compound Kargon in it does the work. It is the drug which acts directly upon the eliminattive tissues of the kidneys; cleanses the sponge like organs and gives them waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheumatism. Cut this out and hand it to some sufferer which would certainly be all act of humanity.

BOWLING CONGRESS
 IN ST. LOUIS.

The political pot of the American Bowling Congress is boiling hot and St. Louis is just now the storm cen- ter. The emphatic posters issued i by Cincinnati announcing the 1908 aspirations of that city ad advocat- l ing the candidacy of Garry Her. man for president cover the dead walls and spring forth at unex- pected and startling occasions. That Cincinnati will leave no room to doubt the earnestness of her de- sire in the premises is self-evi dent. St. Paul, the original 1908 boomer is working as earnestly if not in such a Barnumesque manner to secure the coveted plum. R. H. Bryson is conducting a quiet mail campaign to succeed himself as president and it is the Indianapolis man who Garry Heermann need fear the most. Adam Hahn of
 
 for first vice president and seems to have considerable backing even at this early hour. It is asserted his candidacy will not deter George Metzger or the same city for seek ing reelection as a member of the executive committee. In this con- nection, it may be positively stated, that New York bowler will be candidate for membership in the A. B. c. executive committee. This statement may appear surprising and is apt to be questioned in car- tain circles, but there can be no doubt of it's reliability. Not only will the gentleman alluded to be 2 seeker of official honors at the 1907 meeting of the American Bowling Association, but he will head team from New York and guarantee the entry of another, thus throwing down gage of battle to the en- emV in their very innermost citadel.

CLOSER TIES.

The Swettenham incident, while somewhat irritating to national pride, proved quite clearly the ties which are becoming closer and closer as the years go by between America and England. Ambassa- dor Bryce at a dinner in England the other night expressed English sediment very forcibly and clearly when he said:
 There is one friendship which is of especial value to all of us: I refer to the United States. am happy to think our relations with that country never have been bet ter. Never, indeed, do I think have they been so good as they are at this moment. The incident fresh in your memory need be referred to only for the sake of saying that the moral of it was, this is how different things are now, happily, from those times when an incident like that would have been ths signal of cries of defiance in the press of both countries. Forum ately, in both countries no one took this matter as anything but an oc. casion wherein we could show our trust in one another.'
 The English practically take it for granted that if any trouble hap pens that involves war among the powers an Anglo-SaXon alliance will result. The promptness with which King Edward cablegramed a soothing message after the lanai can affair illustrates the regard and respect in which the states are held in England. After all. blood is thicker than water, and when it comes to showdown in the affairs of nations it can be taken as quite settled that America, England and the Germans, which are nearer tC us than the people of any other nations, will be lined up side by side in common cause.-Kansas City Times.
