GREGORY FIRST USED BY DUTCH.
War Blockade Responsible for Discov- cry of Good Qualities of the Root.


 Although chicory was probably known and used by the ancient Romans as q pot herb, it remained for the Hollauders about 200 years ago to discover that the roots of the chicory plant dried, ground and roasted produced q drink like coffee, both palatable and healthful.
 During the NapOleOnic wars a strict blockade of the continent of Europe was maintained and all importations of coffee, tea and cocoa ceased. This forced the people to turn to chicory as beverage and it soon came into general use.
 So good was it's taste, so rich was it's aroma that the new beverage at once be- came exceedingly popular with the good Dutch housewives who are known the world over for their ability as cooks.
 After the war when ample supply of coffee could be secured. the Holianders were loath to give up their chicory AS a result they blended coffee and ehicory and produced the good old Dutch coffee now served in nearly all hotels, restau- rants and homes in Europe
 Not only did this blend produce that rich aroma and flavor, but it was found that chicory cOunteractod the bad effects nary coffee injurious drank the combina- tion and it proved both refreshing and healthful
 Thus 1t is seen that chicory has been used for centuries in Europe. where it is regarded as necessary addition to cof- fee.
 Americans began using chicory as soon as they realized it was put on the mar 'ket to improve the quality of coffee and not in any spirit of dishonesty Fortu- nately the new United States pure food law requires all makers to state on their packages what the contents are and this protects the buyer from all substitutes for pure coffee and pure chicory and in sures a grade equal to that from which the old-fashioned Dutch beverage is made
 Through our foreign born citizens so consistently demanding it, the merits of chicory have become known by word of mouth until those who have heretofore been diSapp0inted in securing the rich, full coffee flavor in their morning bever- age have found that by buying coffee mixed with chicory. they secure the exact combination they have been seeking.

DIPLOMAT SHOT BY KOREANS
w. D. Stevens, Who Has Taken Prom inent Part in Japanese Reorgani- zation of Korea, Wounded in
 Frisco.

San ncisco.-Following an attack | by four Koreans at the Fairmont ho- tel Sunday night, D. w Stevens, a | member of the Japanese consulate at Seoul, was shot and dangerously wounded Monday at the ferry depot as he was about to leave for Wash ington. The shooting was done by N. w. Chung, a Korean. Stevens was shot twice, one bullet penetrating his right lung and the second the groin. A third bullet struck companion of Stevens assaildnt, I. w. Chung A mob of 800 men pursued Chung, who ran from the scene. He was captured by H. Sexton, deputy in the asses sor's office. MT Stevens and the wounded Korean were taken to the Central Emergency hospital.
 MT. Stevens, accompanied by the Japanese consul, had just stepped out of the hotel omnibus when several Ko- Teans approached them, one of whom said a few words to Stevens and then struck him in the face. He then drew a revolver, covered with a hand kerchief, and began shooting at Stev- ems. At the hospital. Dr. Hill extract ed bullet from the wounded Korean who had been shot through the lungs. Stevens is a man of strong physique. He is in splendid health and Dr. Lum- wal and the other emergency sur geons are of the opinion that he will recover if no untoward complications develop
 Durham White Stevens, is a we'll known American diplomatist who has played a conspicuous part in Japanese official circles. MT. Stevens began his diplomatic service in the State De, partment at Washington, where he at tracted the attention of Japanese off cials. Through Count Okuma, he was given the post of confidential advisor and counsel for the Japanese lega- tion at Washington. For many years he served the Japanese ministers there and later was appointed to the impor- tant position of confidential advisor to the Japanese authorities at Seoul.
 This latter appointment occurred at the time of the Russo-Japanese con fict over Korea and extended through the important period when Korean sovereignty disappeared and Japan be- gan a virtual protectorate over the middle kingdom. Throughout this transition and during the grave crisis when Japanese troops put down the rebellious Koreans. Stevens took leading part in directing the course of Japanese procedure. His wide eX- perience, his familiarity with interna- tional procedure and his tactifulness were a great help in bringing about a calm to this disordered region.
 The Koreans were naturally resent ful at the official part MT. Stevens had taken during this crisis. The Japan ese government showed it's apprecia- tion of his services by bestowing upon him life pension. Now that the Ko- rean crisis is over, MT. Stevens was transferred back to his old post at Washington, where he was about to resume his duties as counsel and advi- ser to the Japanese embassy.

DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA
Could Lay Slate-PenciI in One-Hands in Dreadful State-Permanent
 Cure in Cuticura


 q had eczema on my hands for about seven years and during that time I had used several socalled rem edies, together with physicians and druggists prescriptions. The disease was so bad on my hands that 1 could lay slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. I kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuti- eura Ointment. I made purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. w. H. Dean, Newark, Del, Mar. 2S, 1907"

Friendship and Politics.

From the Jersey City Journal. o.. -
Friendships that have weathered the
storms of the years: pleasant relations be-
tween men that have been sustained de-
spite the stress Of complicated business
and social conditions: happy intercourse
that has survived strenuous discussions
over the merits or dement's of the sheath
gown and the festive merry Wid"-all
these delightful features of our modern
civilization are now menaced by that
scourge which we choose to dignity by
the name political argument" These
arguments are the captious features Of
social intercourse in the barroom and in
the drawing room. They are heard on
the street and on the train; In the Office
and in the street car. The evening din
ner table is a chosen sanctuary for the
devious devotions to sundry political Idols
Of the day. The result Is broken friend
ships and blighted acquaintanceship.
while all the other Ships Of pleasant
social relations wabble and founder in
the wave trough of political argument"
Arguments and discussions and the ex-
pressions Of differences of opinion consti-
tute some of the main wheels in the ma
chinery that makes the world go round.
But the average political discussion Is a
misnomer. because it's a barking quarrel
instead of a debate. 1t reverts to that
favorite slogan of boyhood: my pa can
lick your pa" T.

Marking Historic Spots

In Philadelphia the press and people are
discussing the question of appropriately
and permanently marking historic spots
It is an old question here. but as no ques-
ton is settled until it Is settled right this
one is still open for consideration. There
is one difficulty about the proposition
% far as 1t relates to Washington. This
70. that there are so many historic sites
and buildings here that II each were
marked by tablet, tablets might come
TO be considered so common that Wash
fngtonians would not notice them. But
the tablet would be so instructive to this
generation and to posterity that 1t ought
to be tried Washington might be called
the Tablet city, but what OF that? Balti-
more il called the Monumental city and
Brooklyn the City-of Churches and the
Inhabitants of neither city seem to care.

matter of tablets has arisen in connection
with the approaching celebration of
founders week The Philadelphia Ledger
says:
There is no stimulus to local pride and
civic patriotism like having visitors.
strangers within the gates. to entertain
Many of us do not know the historic
shrines and fanes of our own nelghoor-
hood till the advent of a visitor furnishes
US with an excuse and a motive to go
on a sentimental journey of exploration.
1t is a common experience with city
jewellers to have to confess to hearsay
knowledge. rather than actual observa-
ton of the antiquities and historic me
MORALS that surround them on every
hand. The signs that are being put up
on historic sites in connection with
Founders Week are instructive not
merely to the pilgrim from afar. Many
people who have lived here all their
lives pause and read them, and are heard
to say, Why, l never saw that before!
The information which within brief COM
pass they convey represents a great deal
of painstaking research In the accumula-
ton. They ought, therefore, to be made
permanent 1t would be a sagacious ex-
penditure of the small amount of money
it would require to replace the wooden
signs eventually with tablets OF stone or
propriate legends, that he who runs may
read. and that to succeeding generations
there may be left dignified and permanent
memorials of great. occasion.
1t would be a good thing il Philadel-
phians could summon to their aid sufti-
cient civic pride and patriotic energy to
mark the historic sites in that historic
city. Washington will take a wise view
of this question some day and mark Its
historic places. 1t would make history
easier. Get historic places marked after
they have actually become historic, but
not at a time so distant from the historic
fact that dispute is possible.
The marking of sites should be under
the control OF an association of men and
women who have some conception of his
tory and some sense of perspective and
proportion. historical society Is usu-
ally a safe place in which to vest this
authority and responsibility. The mark
ing ought to be regulated, because on0e
the plan is put in operation 1t will prob
ably become fad and everybody will be
wanting to nail up signs and legends on
everything in sight. The historic marker
should be a reverent, thing. and should
never be allowed to degenerate into
nuisance.

Horseback Riding,

There is one good thing done by the
Roosevelt ADMINISTRATION for which one
fears due credit has not been given. Its
friends seem to have forgotten 1t, and the
democrats are not mentioning 1t. 1t is
this-horseback riding. or. II nice. big
rolling mouthilling word is desired, then
equestrianism.
The President has set q good example,
No doubt many persons have taken to
the saddle, not because the example was
good. but because the President set 1t.
1t is really remarkable the large number
of persons who will trail after man
when he Is great and "cut" him when he
Is down.
The increased popularity of horseback
riding has been observed and commented
on in many Parts Of the country The
following observations on the widening
vogue of this sport are taken from the
Columbus Journal:
"One of the present features Of the sum-
mer which has just passed has been the
revival of horseback riding The increase
in the number of persons who have
adopted this delightful exercise has been
very noticeable. and in the parks some
of them are almost always to be seen,
particularly in the fine morning hours.
Many business men have taken I'D the
habit. and more women are riding than
ever before. 1t Is a fine way Of getting
exercise and the outdoor air at the same
time. Better than any number of hair
raising. tearing rides In an automobile
Is the gentle jog or the invigorating gal
lop on horseback over country roads,
The revival of horseback riding might
be carried much. further than it has so
Tar gone. The automobile has become
wonderfully popular, but. for all that.
men have not and will not forsake the
horse. He may not have so much speed
power and endurance as machine. but
he has more sympathy. The horse il he
Is we'll bred will have plenty of spirit;
but he does not knock down telegraph
poles. climb trees or puncture his tires
He Is little slower, but you do not
have to crank him to get started Neither
does he smell of gasoline.

Tardy Justice to the Partridge.

Tardy recognition is being given the
partridge as friend of farmers. This,
after wanton sports and more ,wanton
pothunters have nearly exterminated his
race. The appetite Of the partridge for
insects has been proved. He is more val
liable as an aid to agriculture than as
meat. The destruction of birds Is now be-
lieved to be an important cause of the
multiplication In late years Of insects that
prey on plant life.
