who was the first Democrat According to
Augustus Thomas. the playwright. he must have
been either Cain or Abel. At any rate, he came
upon the scene little while after Adam. Mr.
Thomas essayed the solution OF this problem for
the edincation of the guests OF the Brooklyn

Governor Tyler Of Virginia began his address
with number of Southern stories. One was
about young negro who lived In tho home Of

explained.
THAT was right. he ought to have been shot
He had business trying to associate with

After an investigation Tyler decided To pardon

His mother heard him coming and rushed oit

CREEP CURE FOR CHILDREN.
German Doctor Finds That Standing
Overtaxes the Spinal Column.

German Doctor Finds That Standing
Overtaxes the Spinal Column.
Prof. Knapp of the University of
Bonn believes that creeping is the true
and natural remedy for half the troub-
les of infancy Every child should be
allowed to creep plentifully before it
is taught to walk, he says; it is ma
lures law, and when this is neglected
he prescribes a return to creeping to
undo the injuries to the spine, joints
and muscular system that results from
a premature habit of standing erect.
His attention was first called to the
subject by dogs which had suffered
nervous breakdown and showed symp-
toms of paralysis as a result of train
ing in tricks for the stage or circus
ring. He undertook to treat some of
these and naturally began with the
rest cure, including stoppage of the
requirement to stand upright on their
hind legs.
To his surprise he found that the
dogs recovered strength and nervous
tone without further treatment, and he
concluded that the strain on the spinal
column from the unnatural erect posi-
ton was the sole cause of the symp-
TOMS From this it was an easy step
to the deduction that children of from
one to four years who showed nervous
symptoms and general breakdown
were victims of strain placed on the
vertebral system too soon, too sudden
1y and before they were fit to bear it
He experimental with a creeping
treatment and it is said has achieved
such results that several children's
hospitals are adopting the system that
he has introduced in Berlin. The chill
dren, even up to six years of age, are
| encouraged and even forced to Greer
about the floor of their ward.
Creeping games are provided and
the nurses see to it that there is as
little standing or walking as possible
! The attitude of creeping prevents
| spinal curviture in a lateral direction
and the weight of the body forces the
vertebrae to adjust themselves in the
natural forward curve at the waist
| line with the shoulders thrown back.
| The neck is strengthened by support
| ing the weight of the head, and the
shoulder, back, abdominal and hiI
muscles are strengthened. The
standing habit is redeveloped gradu
ally in such a manner that the body
| adjusts itself to it gradually.

HOME WHERE COMFORT
AND BEAUTY ABOUND
Handsome Residence at Lake City, Minn Is Product
of Skill of Local Architect and Mechanics.

Handsome residences may be homes
in all the sacred sense the word home
conveys, but certainly many of them
are no more than artistic piles of wood
and stone often raised by their owners
to the Golden Calf. A home where
luxury is only an addition to comfort;
where art is associated with cheerful
ness, the whole furnishing an aspect
of hospitality surely dwelling
more to be desired, and it approaches,
If indeed it does not represent, the
ideal of the American home. Of such
a residence, Henry w. Morgan, an at
torney of Lake City, Mimi, is the
proud owner
The house is a monument to the
skill of local architect and local me-
chanics. Home labor built it, and E.
Alexander of Lake City was the archi-
tect who put Mr.. Morgan's ideas into
the plans and also contributed marked
originality in some of the details
The woodwork in the house is large
ly quarter-sawed oak, although there
is some birch and Georgia pine All
the modern conveniences, including a
water pumping and acetylene gas
plants are enjoyed by the owner and
his family.
One of the attractive features of the
interior if the fireplace in the library.

ADVICE TO VICTIMS
TELLS READERS HOW TO CURE
RHEUMATISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix a Simple Prepare
ton and the Dose to Take-Over-
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism every
where that the following advice by an
eminent authority, who writes for read
ers of a large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty
of good water.
It is claimed that there are few vic
tins Of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture, and
in most cases a permanent cure is the
result.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminative tissues
of the Kidneys so that they can filter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only Rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.

again are arranged in perpendicular
order.
Above the large mantel are two col
umns (pillars) resting on plynth
blocks, similar, but smaller to those
on the base. On these columns rests
another mantel in segment shape.
Back from the columns is a French
plate mirror encased in a gum and
'quartered-oak frame 1t is puzzling
to understand how Mr. Alexander
placed the mirror where it is, on ac-
count of the small space between the
plynth blocks which support the col
umnS.
On the upper mantel of the fireplace
reposes a clock of colonial design, and
on top of the clock roosts Mr. Nor
gan's favorite Democratic Johnson
rooster. 1t is covered with flannel
and stuffed with sawdust
The andirons are as unique as the
fireplace, being about four feet in
height, and ornamented. They are of
wrought iron and hand made.
The residence is Illuminated with
acetylene gas, the gasmaking ma
chine being placed about nine feet
underground, and four rods away from
the house.
Accessory to the main building is a
wash house, which Mr.. Morgan espe-
cially designed after similar patterns
in his home in the State of New
Jersey

1907 A RED LETTER YEAR.
Right to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries of Europe.

Countries OF Europe.
Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1907 as a red let
ter year for their sex. Their first no.
table step ahead this year was the
granting of parliamentary suffrage to
the women of Norway. Then Swedish
women were made eligible for NUM-
cipal office; next came the granting
to the women Of Denmark of the right
to vote for and serve as members OF
boards of public charities, and now
the British parliament has just passed
the bill making women eligible as
town and county councillors and alder
men.
In 1888 when the county councils
were instituted in England it was
thought that women were eligible, and
three-Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss
Jane Golden and Miss COns-were
elected by the voters of London.
Beresford Hope, who had been de-
feated by Lady Sandhurst, contested
the election on the ground that women
were not eligible. The litigation was
prolonged and meanwhile the women
were allowed to serve. One of the
duties assigned to Lady Sandhurst
was the supervision of twenty-three in
FAINT asylums. When Mr.. Hope finally
succeeded in ousting her one Of the
leading London dailies sarcastically
remarked:
ct is to be hoped that the gentle
man will find himself equal to mother
ing all those babies"

CHAPTER Viii.
His Welded Wife.

John Wilson, in the excitement OF
! his escape from Dartmoor and his Ella
ton at the strange turn which his for.
tunes had taken, had not troubled to
! think of anyone but himself.
For some months before his enlist
ment he had practically deserted the
girl who had been foolish enough to
marry him in spite of the opposition of
her father-a small shopkeeper in a
country town.
May Hetley had 9150 Of her own in
savings bank-it was money left her
by an aunt John Wilson, who had OBJ
tanned situation with a local horse
dealer, got to know May and hearing
of her wealth" made desperate love
to her.
The girl was fascinated by the hand
some young man, and fell an easy prey
to the wiles of the impecunious ad-
venturer. She believed that he really
loved her; she knew that she really
loved him, and when he asked her to
marry him she needed little pressing.
She had never told her lover that her
father strongly objected to him. She
had hoped that the parental views
would change.
The young man had therefore looked
upon the match as desirable in more
ways than one. His wife would have
money of her own and father who
was reckoned we'll off, and might be
relied upon to do the right thing by his
only daughter
But old Mr.. Hetley turned out to be
the old-fashioned stern parent.
When May married John Wilson and
went off to London with him to spend
the honeymoon, sending her father a
pretty, contrite little letter, the reply
she received shattered all the hopes
the bridegroom had formed in that di-
rectiOn.
Mr.. Hetley told his daughter plainly
that he thought she had made a terri
BILE mistake. He would always be glad
to see her, but he must decline to have
anything to do with her husband
1t was great blow to May but she
was passionately in love with the man
she had married, and she refused to
think any evil of him.
The awakening was a rude one.
When the money she had brought him
was gone, Wilson suggested she should
go back to her father for time while
he looked about for something to do.
He was going to Yorkshire, where he
had friends, he told her, and he gave
her an address.
He omitted to tell her that he had
become involved in a shady transac-
ton which made it advisable for him
to leave London.

The mere driving of the old stage
