Major William Cook Daniels, Of
Denver who has been for the past
six years exploring In New Guiena
and studying anthropology, arrived
yesterday on the French liner La
Savoie. Major Daniels served I'M
der General Shafteg in the Spanish
American War. He has been made
fellow of the Royal Geographical
Society.
After little over n year spent In
London" he said, al fitted out an
expedition, and with five scientists
sailed for Australia. We chartered
a 150-ton schooner and sailed from
there to New Guinea We travelled
through that country, studying the
people, their customs and their man
ner of life. l spent two years In
this work, and have gathered a mass
Of interesting data" Major Daniels
brings back quantity OF native
skulls, bones and implements OF war
and domestic use. He has also many
photographs taken in strange sur
roundings. These will be given to
museums here and in Great Britain.
He has studied the native in every
phase Of his life. The party had
many exciting adventures. One In
teresting thing seen was the native
system OF wireless biography. They
climb high in trees and make noises
by striking the trunks that carry
long distances. These sounds are re-
peated by others, and in a few min

THEODORE, THE
MEDDLER. y

The article In Pearson's magazine
for January. by James Creelman, en-
titled Theodore. the Meddler," af-
ter informing us that this is what
President Roosevelt is called in the
back rooms OF Wall street goes on
with these parallels:
But the same thing was said OF
every strong man who grappled open
ly with ignorance, avarice. or OPP
preston in the history of the world
The Romans said II OF st. Paul when
they beheaded him; the Stuarts said
II OF Cromwell when they hung his
exhumed skeleton on a gibbet; The
Thirty said 1t OF Socrates when they
made him drink hemlock; the Diet OF
Worms said IL Of Luther; the Seig-
nory said II OF Savonarola, and burn
ed him In chains; the Salamancan
sages said It Of Columbus; the vati-
can said 1t OF Washington, and the
greed OF half a continent said It of
Lincoln.
Mr.. Creelman would find II hard to
prove that tho name was used In
several of these cases. The Thirty
were hurled from power four years
before Socrates was condemned; his
chief accuser had been one OF their
victims; their guiding sT6rt had been
his favorite pupil, and they had tried
to bride him to their support with
a share In their confiscations. 1t
would be exactly as true to say that
the democratic party kept Tilden
from the presidency. Later on we
have this statement:
Mr.. Roosevelt does not believe that
weaklings, academicians or mug
wumps can grapple with the ten
denotes OF these times, but that sue
cess can come only to vital red blood
and fighting strength used fearlessly
and constantly.
Nobody knows better that Mr.
Roosevelt that the mugwumps show
ed red blood and fighting strength
In 1884, which produced a hermanent
revolution In American politics.

The kind OF commercial spirit re-

teration OF foodstuffs, In overwork-

the exploitation OF the needs and

cedes that some multimillion for

inventions or by clear insight into
business propositions, as we'll as by
inheritance, good man may become
the lawful possessor OF untainted

lionaires are thought to have acquir-
ed their huge piles by abhorrent
methods. They have only utilized,
IL is true, existing commercial prac-
tees. under existing laws, but they
have profited by the defects OF both.
The morality OF their methods is
conceded and condemned, but such
is the Generalization OF the Ameri-
can commercial spirit that nearly
every American, IL is said by the
cyncs, is ready to confess that. had
he the opportunity, he would get
rich quick in the same ways. In

sonal accomplishments will receive
the highest honor, regardless OF
wealth.-Baltimore Sun.

THEY ARE HOLDING.

Will We have f5c cotton? That de bends on how much of the staple the 7q Suol Moq puR pueQ no sRq plIom planter can hold back the crop of this year=Sherman Democrat
 II is apparent that the farmers are holding their cotton this year with more tenaeity than ever before. Sey- eral reasons can be advanced for this. The first and main one is that diyersi- fieation of crops has enabled them to keep out of debt to a great extent, and creditors therefore can not make them sell Then again, the Farmers Union has done great deal in the direction of teaching the farmers the wisdom of holding back their crops. The Un- ion is the best farmers organization that has ever been created in Texas. It has learned many things from the other organizations of farmers which preceded it, and is thus enabled to do better and more effective work. Under it's teachings the farmers are learning how to protect their crops against gambling and speculation Dallas News.

 AAd when you overlook ope of this friendly company because of an en- croaching bank or screening boughs, says the Travel Magazine, his neigh bor further on comes to you doubly welcome. At the latter end of this passage in the journey your spirits flag a trifie as though oppressed by a sense of desertion.

The loves and friendships of indi- vduals partake of the frail character of humaa life, and are brief and un- certain The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: \ little loving and good deal of sor- rowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappontments; some gor- geeus Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, when Providence. bending over LIS in bless ings, glads the heart almost to mad ness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart be- comes like charnel house filled with dead affections. embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the chord is loosed, the golden bowl is broken, the individual life-a cloud, a vapor. passes away.-Matthew Hale Carpenter.

WHAT. IS PE-RU-NA?
Is Il a Catarrh Remedy, or a
 Tonic. or is if Both?

Some people call Peruua a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy.
 Which of these people are Tighti Is it more proper to call Peruna ca tarrh remedy than to call it a tonie7
 Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and eatarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effeetual oatarrh rem edy that is not also a tonic.
 In order to thoroughly relieve any case of eatarrh, a remedy must not only have specific action on the nsu- cous membranes affected by the ca- tarrh, but it must have general tonic action on the nervous system.
 Catarrh, even in persons who ere otherwise strong, is a weakened con- dition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strength en the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces
 Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention HUH Litu4Cd4 Nk4lcIs dS u OhhD 4o CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff cacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and Is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Pe- runa which constitutes a specific rem edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, rein forced by such renowned tonics as C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR. YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all it's stages and locations in the body.
 From theoretical standpoint, there- fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical ex- perience confirms well-grounded the- ory the result is truth that cannot be ahakan

In the report of the committee on the growing and handling of cotton laid before the international confer enee of cotton growers and manufact- urers the recommendations were as follows:
 I. That all planters select and save their seeds for the next crop. the ob- ject being to insure a higher standard.
 ?. That all cotton be housed 40 to so days before being sent to the gin.
 3. That. as fast as possible, plant CTS adopt gin eompressing as it would relieve planters in great part of the exaetions of the so-ealled compress trust and permit of direct handling or product from planter to spinner.
