CLEARED HIMSELF OF BLAME.
Explanation of Politician That Sure
ly Was Convincing.

A recent incident in Australia is re-
lated as showing how watchful a poll
tician must be in this censorious age.
Among other accounts of a deadhead
nature on the books of the Westralia
railway was one setting forth that
Miss Peacock had been ranked over
the lines to the value of $35, and in
stantly there was wide demands about
it. People wanted to know why Sir
Alexander Peacock's daughter was
given these privileges. Sir Alexander
himself, a former premier of Victoria,
was very much hurt when he heard
Of the matter, and fastened to assure
the Westralian government firstly
that If his daughter had appeared in
Westralia, it was entirely without his
sanction; secondly, If she had made
claims upon the Westralia railways
she had done it without his authority;
thirdly, that never during his long po-
htical career had he asked his own
state, let alone any other, to extend
dead-heading privileges to a daughter
Of his; and, fourthly and finally, he
had no daughter, and lever has had a
daughter.-Boston Transcript.

lima and Alabama respectively, and
graduated in 1884. Both officers have
had wide engineering experience.
Maj. Gaillard was in charge of the
breakwaters and dredging at Duluth
at the time he was selected for the
general staff four years ago. Maj.
Sibert has spent the greater part of
his service in the construction of
locks and dams on the Kentucky river
and in supervising the erection or
completion of about 80 locks and
dams along the Ohio, Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers.
The fact that the new chief engi-
neer is in the prime of life was a
strong point in favor of his selection.
There are older men in the corps of
engineers, and some who are per-
haps better known, but it is declared
that there is no officer of the requisite
health, initiative and ability who is
the superior of the man President
Roosevelt has selected.

The Narrow View.

Congressman Perkins was talking
about his bill for a progressive inner
itance tax.
Even a Millionaire" he said, would
approve this bill if he looked at it
in a broad way. But few billionaires
look at such things broadly. Every
thing to them has but the one mar
row, personal aspect.
They are much like the old lady
who, seeing a storm signal, asked
what 1t was. She was told that the
weather bureau now studied the
weather and telegraphed it's ~forecasta
far in advance all over the country.
The old lady. looking at this fact in
a narrow. personal, b~illionaire-like
way, could see but one advantage in
1t and she said:
Ion, isn't that convenient for the
washer-women.'"

SCIATIC TORTURE
A Locomotive Engineer Tells How
He Was Cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Pain that seems almost unbearable
is a Characteristic of sciatic rheuma-
tism. In some cases the pain is
knifelike, sharp or shooting; in 9TH
ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica
is stubborn in resisting treatment and
the patient frequently suffers for
years. This was the case with Mr..
Herbert e, Spaulding, a locomotive
engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or
leans & Texas Pacific Railway, whose
home is at Longview, Texas.
While running an engine some
years ago" he says, 81 fell off and
hurt my knee and spine and | have
always considered this to be the cause
Of my illness. The sciatica took hold
Of me from my heel to the back of
my head. The pain was the worst
l ever suffered in my life and my leg
and back were twisted out of shape.
l was under a physicians care for
several months and for six months
could not get out of bed. l also went
to Hot Springs but came back in a
worse condition than when l went.
1T was when I was down in bed
that l heard of the case of a Mr..
Allison. a much older man than my
self, who mad been cured Of sciatica
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. l began
taking the pills and soon was able to
get out Of bed. When l had taken
six boxes l was able to work about
the house and yard. l kept right
on with the pills until l was cured
and 1 have never had any return of
the trouble. l have been running an
engine ever since"

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Mas Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee vas
huHting him, so he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however, that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, n day at dinner. She says;
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly l will re
late an incident. At a dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee,
Doctors brother, a Clergyman, sup
posed II was old fashioned coffee and
remarked. as he called for his sec
ond cup: If you do preach against
coffee, / see you haven't forgotten how
to make it,"
This goes to show that well-made-
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness Of good coffee al
though it has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial will prove that
1t has none OF the poisonous effect Of
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's a

PANAMA TASK ENTRUSTED TO
ARMY ENGINEERS.
Nal. q. w. Goethals Of Engineering
Corps Chosen as Head Of Group
Of Three-ls a Man Of
Much Experience.

Washington.-Maj. George w. Goe-
thals, u. S. A., has been selected to
head the group of three government
engineers who will complete the work
on the isthmus. Mai. Goethals is re-
garded as a most efficient engineer
and has had a great deal of expert
ence. The army officers who will have
charge Of the work will receive more
pay than American army officers have
ever been given before. Maj Goethals
as engineer in chief will receive 81, 900
more than Admiral Dewey. The pres
ident has indicated that Maj. Cocktails
salary as engineer would probably
be fixed at 5000.
The wheel horse of the force" is
what Maj. Goethals has come to be
called in the army engineer corps.
He sets the pace for the rest. He is
the protege of Secretary of War Taft
and the chief of engineers, Gen. Nc
Kenzie. The latter admits he likes
Goethals, but will not admit that
there are not so other engineers in
his force, all just as good, and he
will add if the private engineers are
worth $4,000 a year, then these men
are worth $4,000.
Maj. Goethals is said to know more
about the actual doings in connection
with the Panama canal administra-
ton and work than any other man in
Washington. The reason is that he
has been Taft's special agent for the
Panama business. He went with the
secretary on his trip to the isthmus.
Cocktails is said to be a six-o'clock-in-
the-morning man. He is at it early
and late.
Maj. Goethals was appointed to the
military academy from New York and
was graduated in 1884. Later he
graduated from the engineer school at
Willet's Point, N. Y. He was for two
years on the staff of Gen. Nelson A.
Miles as engineer officer of the de-
partment of Columbia, where he was
engaged on surveys and reconnois-
Isance work, and under Gen. Merrill
at Cincinnati, in charge of the con
'struction of dams, bikes and locks.
His next duty was at West Point in
the department of civil and military
engineering, and from the academy
he was ordered to duty as engineer
in charge of the Mussel Shoals canal,
Tennessee river, where he began the
iconstruction of the Colvert canals;
foot lift lock at Riverton. Upon the

completion of this duty Maj. Goethals
served for four years in the Office Of
the chief of engineers as assistant.
During the war with Spain Mai.
Goethals was chief engineer Of the
first army corps, and later he was
instructor of practical engineering at
West Point. He was in charge OF all
engineering work in the Newport dis
trict at the time he was selected for
duty on the general staff in 1903
an assignment which came to him
solely a. a result of the recognition of
his unusual professional ability.
Associated with Mai. Goethals will
be two engineers who were plebes
when he graduated from the academy
-Majs. d. V. Gaillard and William L,
Sibert, who yer appointed to the
military academy from South C,oo.

H WALL.
One Of Solid Color viii Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. It fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, it throws them out
in their correct proportions. and does
not detract from their artistic value.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on a wall
tho more artistic il is.
The most successful form Of the
solid colored wall is an %alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and all-wool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for a few
days, while the all-wool keeps its color
to the very last thread, so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs off, never fakes nor chips

coat. If there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it off with warm water.
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. If there are n
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with a
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your mar uses a tinting ma.
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up our mind that
there is glue in the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
it's color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tinting material being
mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
t%erials, then you will have a perma-
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be a thing of beauty and a
joy forever"

can be entirely overcome by using De-
