ST. PETER HANDICAPPED

A woman at Juneau wrote the editor of the Douglas Island News for his opinion ou an assertion made by an evangelist that children are sent by the Lord. The editor eyaded the question by giving the opinion of leading au. thorities on both sides of the question. Many years ago. he says, one of the lesser lights in New Eogland poetry wrote;
 One nigh. as old St, Peter slept,
 4e left the gates of Heaven aiar, And through little angel crepc
 And cane down with a falling star. And when the mornings ToSy beams
 Were shining, and my bIushing bride Awakened from some pleasant dreams She found that angel by her side. God graut but this-I ask no more
 That when he leaves this world Of
 pain,
 He'll wing his way 10 that bright shore And find the road to Hesvin again. The editor then quotes that matter Oi-Iacs poet John G. Saxe's reply on behalf of St. Peter, whom he thought had been slaudersd: Full eighteen hundred years or more, I've kept my gate securely fast; There has DO little angel strayed,
 Nor recreaut through it's portals
 passed.
 did not sleep, as you suppose,
 Nor have left my gates ajar; Nor has little angel left,
 And gone down with falling star. Go to that "blushing bride" and see II she'll not frankly own and say, That when she found that angel babe, She found it in the good old way.

Peoples Cure
for Stomach Ills

1t would be folly TO say that person
should always be his own doctor. There
are times when one cannot be too quick
IN consulting competent and reliable
physician, but the fact does remain that
there are many ailments that can be
cured at home at very little expense.
Such remedies can be bought at any
finst-class drug store for small sum.
Among the diseases that can be effec-
lively treated at home are such as per-
tain to the stomach, liver and bowels,
like constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness,
natulency. sour stomach, blOated stomach, sick
there is no better remedy than DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup PepSin, the great herb laxative compound,
and among its StauncheSt friends are the doc
tors themselves. In such troubles they know
they have nothing better to offer than the in
gradients contained in this remedy, and hence
the liberal ones advise their patients to take it.
1t often happens that at the commencement
OF an attack some people hesitate to take such a
simple remedy. and run to a doctor. but after
trying various doctors they finally take DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and have their conf
dence rewarded by cure. A good case in point
who suffered from what the doctors called ca
tarrh Of the stomach. He was given up to die
by three leading physicians. He had no appe-
tite couldn't digest what little he did eat had
severe pains in the stomach. and finally. mo-
ments when he himself thought he would die.
Ultimately he was advised to try DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin and did so. and now he is entirely
cured and has gained 25 pounds. He naturally
advises all sufferers from weak stomach to use
it. 1t can be had in so cent and 81 bottles and

MORTON'S LEAGUE ORGANIZES
WITH ONLY FIVE TEAMS

Youngstown, o., Feb LIN a
meeting held at the Office Of w. Fl.
Park here Friday afternoon the
the new Ohio an Pennsylvania
League was formed as six or
eiyht-team organization. President
Charles Morton of Akron, was elect
ed president, secretary and treasur-
er. He was given "a handsome salary
and allowed liberal expense ac-
count. His election was unanimous.
Five clubs was represented in the
meeting. but the resolutions passed
provided for either a six or eight
club league. Erie was not repre-
sented, as that city is not yet free
from the Interstate League. The
magnates present at the meeting
have no fears that the league will
have to go through the season with
but five teams. A large number of
clubs are now seeking franchises,
and before the season starts more
will want place. If 1t is decided
to have eight clubs every effort will
be made to- keep the new league
compact, as 1t would be with six
clubs, Erie included. Compactness
is one of the chief considerations
OF the magnates in the organization.
The election of board of direc-
tors was postponed until the next
meeting, which is to be called at the
will of President Morton. The salary
limit OF the league was fixed at
! 800, but this does not include the
managers of the teams. Mr.. Morton
announced that the next meeting
would probably be held in about
three weeks. BY this time 1t will
be known definitely whether or not
Erie is to be a member of the new

Gen. Herkimer sent word to Col.
Gansevoort of the relief that was COM
ing and asked that a sortie be made
from the fort when the relieving forces
came up, so that the enemy's attention
might be distracted.
When he got near the fort Gen.
Herkimer waited for the signal from
Gansevoort 1t didn't come, and his
young recruits began to chide him for
the delay. He refused at first to risk
the sacrifice of life which he knew an
advance with his 800 men would en-.

He continued to wait, but the 70
