Cheap Martyr

Washington, Sept. 25.-Testifying
in the proceedings against himself
and other labor union officers on the
charge of contempt in violating the
Injunction decree of the District of
Columbia, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
yesterday made serious charges
against w. j. Van Cleave, president
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers. Mr.. Gompers declared that
Mr.. Van Cleaye had had Mr.. Gompers
and other Federationists Swallowed by
detectives and had undertaken to have
Mr.. Gompers bribed to desert the
cause of organized labor and join it's
enemies. a man named Broughton
Brandenburg, Of New York acting as
agent.
Mr. Gompers in his testimony also
stated IN effect that former Secretary
Taft, now republican candidate for
president, had supplied the sentiment
behind the injunction decree which
had directed the labor officials not TO
publish the Bucks stove and Range
company as unfair" Mr.. Gompers
at the time was under cross examina.
ton by his attorney, J. II. Ralston.
Mr. Ralston asked Mr.. Gompers
whether there had been any general
effort to break down organized labor,
and he replied:
Men have been suborned to spy on
their fellow laborers in shops, fac
tories and mines; to report the pro-
ceedings Of union meetings; TO spy
on the working hours and to follow
from place to place labor leaders Wis.
iting other cities than their homes.
Money has also been used to bride
representative labor men to cease
their connection with the labor or
ganization and direct their activities

citation They have not only been Of
fered brides in money. but have been
offered substantial safeguards for the
future"
Attorney Davenport gave notice of
motion to strike all of this matter
out OF the record as not only irrele.
want but scandalous AS going to
show the impossibility of the story he
called attention to the facts that Mr.
uompers had said nothing about these
occurrences while on the stand in the
injunction proceeding, and that Mr.
i. Van Cleave had denied all knowledge
of them.

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU HAD IT

Kidney disease may develop sudden
ly and become fatal in a few weeks,
but this is rare. 1t usually appears
with mild symptoms, although as the
kidneys are not sensitive 1t may have
been developing for months-eyen
years 1t is usually durable the first
few weeks-in fact, it often gets well
of itself But if it has been long
enough in the system to have become
chronic (fastened) the books then de-
clare il to be incurable. Right here
Is the crucial question: viz. how long
have you had 1t? If it has been in
the system for some months, there is
only one thing known that will reach
it and we have sent for It, It differs
from all kidney treatments in this
tremendously important point-it is
the only one that reduces inilammat-
ion and corrects the kidney function
AFTER Il has become chronic, as well
as before AS there is no sharp div
iding line marking the time when the
trouble changes to the chronic form
isn't II as clear as MONDAY that
thoughtful people with kidney disease
should take at once the only known
specific that reaches II in all stages
The annual deaths are over $4,000
| 40 per day. These census figures
show how appallingly serious and pre-
valent this thing is getting to be that
is innocently referred to in the homes
as kidney trouble

HEAVES CAUSED BY HAY.
Veterinarian Cautions Against Too
Heavy Feeding.

4 noted veterinarian of Canada
says that n full feed per day OF
hay is enough for a horse; hat be.
cause the work horses are busy in
crop time they only get one full feed
o. hay every "a hours, but in the win
ter are frequently allowed to stand
and eat all day. He a Y that a horse
to be in perfect health should have
The stomach emptied, of the previous
meal for two or three hours before he
Is given another. If such Is not the
case, digestion will not take place in
a perfect manner, and disease is likely
to result. There is a remarkable SYM
pathy between the stomach and the
lungs, because of the fact that the
same nerve trunk supplies nerve force
to both organs. When the stomach
is deranSed from improper feeding the
lungs are liable to become sympa-
thetically affected and heaves often
result. Care should also be taken that
a horse should be fed no dusty or
musty hay. This dust is as light as
air, and the horse in breathing draws
1t right into the lung tissue with every
breath, and this substance, being an
itTitant, is very prone to develop the
Eeaves. If no better hay can be OBJ
tanned, the dust should be laid by
s%prinkling with water, when the horse
will not breathe it, but will be swal-
lowed with his feed and probably do
him no harm; but when at all possible
only bright, clean hay, free from dust,
should be fed to horses. Again no
horse is in fit condition for active eX-
ercise with a stomach distended. with
hay, because the stomach situated as
it is right behind the lung space, if
full, bulges forward into the chest to
such an extent that the lungs have no
room to properly expand, and cannot
perform their functions properly; and
anything that interferes with the func-
ton of the lungs predisposes to heaves.
In many cases if farmers would feed
less hay to idle horses in the
months they would come out in
the spring in better condition.

THE STORY.

THERE lay the mantle, at his feet
/ where it had fallen.
AS Elisha lowered his eyes from the
heavens it was the first thing he saw.
Slowly he stopped and touched rever-
emily the rough garment of sheep
skin.
Elijah with God! His mantle left
behind!
Elisha did not at once lift the gar
ment from the ground. There was
something so sacred about it. He
knew it was for him. He understood
that it was the sign from God that his
prayer had been heard and that the
yearning Of his heart was to be salts
fed, but an overpowering sense of the
great trust imposed upon him, and a
consciousness of personal unworthi-
ness coupled with that spirit of true
humility which comes from close fel-
lowship with God forbade any thought
less haste.
To take Elijah's mantle-Oh, how
much it meant. Would he be equal
to the exalted trust? Would the man
tie in,his hands be to the honor or the
dishonor of God and the memory of
the great prophet upon whose Shout
ders it had rested?
AS he touched it reverently and
then drew back and lifted his eyes
to heaven in silent appeal there was no
thought Of supersitious regard or idea
that In the garment itself rested any
supernatural power and charm. He
knew it was only a sign, a token
given him by God that he was to fill
the place left vacant by the transla-
ton of Elijah. And yet the life and
character of the one who had worn
the garment had become in. a sense
a part of the garment itself, 80 that
was a constant and eloquent re.
of the way the prophet had
walked, the manner in which he had
wrought, and the higher, holier life
which he had sought, so that 1t
was sacred with memories which
could Tut stimulate and spur on to the
and best endeavor.
AS Elisha stood thus, the deepening
influence Of that miraculous hour
reaching to the utmost recesses of his
soul, there came the memory of the
irst time in his life when the mantle
ii Elijah had touched him and he had
