Pain that seems almost unbearuble Is
a Characteristic OF sciatic rheumatism
In some cases the pain is knife-likc,
sharp or shooting; In others It is dull
and aching. Sciatica Is stubborn In re-
slsting treatment, and the patient FREE
quently suffers for years. This was the
case with Mr.. Herbert u. Spaulding, a
locomotive engineer on the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific railway.
whose home is at Longview, Texas.

NORFOLK, VA, February 5.-Ihe APP
nolntmcnt or Assistant Postmaster S. b.
Carney as postmaster of Norfolk, 10 sue
coed Captain H. b. Nichols, is merely
IN accordance with an understanding ar
rived at -four years ago, and has occn-
stoned no surprise to those who were at
I'll! familiar with the situation.
Mr.. Carncy's appointment was really
made four years ago, for then 1t WIS
lie was insured by, tho Washington au-
tborItics that he should have the place
after n fotir-ycars term by Captain, Mich
OILS. He was ~ candidate when Captain
Nichols got the office.
Captain Nichols knew when appointed
that Mr.. Carney was TO succeed him at
thr end OF four years, and tile arrange
ment is said to have been perfectly sat
isfactory 10 Captain NICHOLS, as he did
not then desire TO serve more than four
years.
But Captain Nichols changed his mind
and became a candidate for reappolnt-
,nent, which somewhat complicated the
situation. but efforts IN his behalf by his
friends could not break the agreement
made four years ago. President Roosevelt
was inimovable. Mr.. Carney had in the
meantime moved from Portsmouth 10
Norfolk that he might the better qualify.
for the postEmastcrship.
This agreement was made, or course,
with the understanding that 1t could
stand only in the evcit OF Republican
success at the last presidential election,
which. however. was regarded as prac-
teal certainty.

port is more interesting. There are at
least a half-dczen aspirants for the
position. About the only certainties in
this situation so far seem to be that
Major r. G. Banks viii not succeed him
self. nor will Dcputy4united States Mar
shall j. u. West succeed hirn. Besides
Major Banks and Mr.. West. those men
toned in connection with the appoint
mcnt are Mr.. Floyd Hughes, Republican
candidate for the House of Representa-
tives at the last election and United
States Commissioner Z. s. Stephenson.
Colonel Campbell Stamp. Representative
in Congress from the Ninth Virginia DIS
trict, has also entered the fight for the
coliectorship here. and IS advocating the
appointment OF Colonel j. H. Cilcaycs, OF
Wythcvie. II not Colonel G1eaves, he
would have somebody else outside this
district
But 1t Is not thought that the Republi-
can Congressman will be able to name
the collector. Influential Republicans In
this section are opposed to any such
thing. and the chances are strongly in
favor OF Il man from this section re-
ceiving tic appointment.
Mr. Floyd Hughes probably stands the
best chance for the position of all those
mentioned: but then the plum may &c

Mourning Vaqaries.

mourning is not what it used hi
be-" said an undertaken. In fact, n
expect to see it go out altogether IL
the next century or so. Perhaps it Is
just as we'll. No young widow, E7aE
heard say, can wear mourning withStS
looking like an adventures. But WI
the seventeenth century widows GaT
only wore mourning, but their SsG
curtains were black and the sheek4
and pillowcases bad a black edgiEg
like stationery. Even their lipgera
had mourning band. In Italy tm
mobiles OF the renaissance carried theER
mourning as far as their knives ana
forks, which had ebony instead af
ivory handles. Gray cloth superseded
black for mourning in the eighteenth
century. The fashion lasted aboE
twenty years. Then it died out, as II
had sprung up, mysteriously." - Lee

Writing For a Living.

The writer's craft is a very large
craft. In numbers it ranks perhaps
second or third among the professions.
There are more teachers and possibly
more lawyers than there are persons
who make their living wholly or in the
main part by writing, and possibly
there are as many physicians. But if
you could count the reporters, CORE
spondents, special writers for news
papers, makers of text books, writer's
for magazines, novelists, playwrights,
writer's of governmental and other
public documents and all the rest who
make their living wholly or in main
part by writing you would be astonish-
ed to see how large a company they
are.-Atlantic.
