Heart
Troubles

The heart may be weak
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
1t often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or In some of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals

Truth Telling Rare.

A small girl who lives in this city has troubled,
mother very much by her reckless disregard for
the truth. One day her mother had very serious
talk with the little daughter, and ended up by,
telling her that liars could not go to Heaven says
exchange. The small daughter reflected for
time, and then said: Mamma, do you ever tels
lies?"
Certainly not" replied her mother. Sudden
recollections sweeping across her mind, she hes'
tated and added:
Sometimes, of course, when it is impossible
for me to see people, send down word that am
not at home. But that is merely to keep from
hurting their feelings. 1t is not lying"
The small girl reflected and said nothing
That night when her father home she
said, bunty:
Papa, do you tell lies?"
Certainly not" replied her father, with aston
ishment and indignation. Then he began
to fidget a little, and after awhile added: "Of
course, when I'm selling goods can't always tell
all I know about them. It's the other fellows
business to know what kind of goods they are.
That isn't lying though; that's just business"
The small girl reflected again, and after mature
consideration, spoke:
81 don't think that want to go to Heaven any
how there won't be anyone there but God and
George Washington"

picture of greatness? He was ordinary man for,
whom this majestic funeral was arranged 1t was
not all, mostly, because of the fame OF his
iustrious Joseph. 1t was because during his,
seventeen years of residence in the land of Goshen
he had shown himself to be the worthy father OF
his worthy son; because he had so wisely CONF
Quoted the affairs of his own little kingdom so
journng within the borders of the Egyptians;
because as a petty sovereign, living with his
people right in the very heart of those who were
giving him shelter; living in such close proximity
to the mighty Pharaoh and yet managing to-
govern those within his with such perfect
order, and respect for their neighbors, that he
had the esteem and high confidence of the
ruler whose eve upon him and all his doings.
His greatness recognized by all who knew
him.
When the cortege arrived at the threshing floor
of Atad, and mourning of seven days was there
made, the people of the country beheld and re-
marked This is grievous mourning to the
Egyptians" 1t must have appeared to them as
if Egypt had lost of her mightiest mobiles. No
wonder that they took special note of the event.
and gave to the meadow the name of "Abel Miz
raim"-the mourning of the Egyptians-when they
saw the greatest men of the greatest empire de-
voting entire days to the funeral rites of the
man whose body they had brought into that far
off country that they might lay him in his quiet

Spain in which volunteers though sick and
disabled maintained the reputation set by their
revolutionary ancestors and the heroes OF the
Mexican and Civil War, defeating the Spanish
army on land. On the water, Dewey with few
rotten ships, destroyed the Spanish navy opposed
to him in Manila bay without the loss of a man,
and Schley, with the loss of only one man, cap
tured destroyed the whole of Cervera's fleet!
Since that time we have made wonderful prog
ress, if one may accept the reports, in the i'm
provement and accuracy of aim now attained by
ten years naval practice.
Commander Sims, who characterized the gun
work of warships at Santiago as disgraceful,

are doing now-for the result of that battle tells
a different story not ship escaped, and the
wreck-strewn coast of Cuba was sufficient testi-
monia of the efficiency of the workmanship of
our naval fighters.
We have, however, made great strides since
then. Our boys have learned, it is said, to shoot
quicker and straighter than they could then, and
modern sea fighting calls for sure aim and quick
fire. In these two points the American navy is
said to lead the world accuracy of aim and
quickness of fire. Our twelveinch guns can now
deliver two shots minute, as against possible
one shot in five minutes during the Spanish war

be delivered twice as fast with safety as could

the cave of Machpelah-Pharaoh gave orders
that not only should his Prime Minister Joseph,
the son of Jacob, have permission to accompany
the embalmed body to its last resting place, which
must have been distance of four hundred miles
or more, but he further commanded the special
honor to the departed patriarch of having "all
the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house,
and all the elders of the land of Egypt" as fol-

Mrs. Alexander has written of the Burial of

In the cursory reading which gives to the
Old Testament Scriptures, one fails to take in
and appreciate the wonderful detail involved in
facts and passing events therein related, in
few paragraphs Prominent among these events
is the relation of the burial of Jacob.
Jacob, the father of the tribes of Israel, was one
of "the great men of history" Very often we may
Judge a mans greatness by the respect shown to
him in his funeral cortege If we adopt this
method of measuring Jacobs standing among the
men of his day, shall be compelled to regard
him as one of the first, for he died in the midst
of the people of the chief nation then on the face
of the earth, and nothing could exceed the honor
paid to him by the leading personages OF Egypt
from the Pharaoh down through all the social
grades. He had lived seventeen years in Goshen;
he had stood in the presence of the Pharaoh; he
had ruled over his own people, and he had con-
Quoted himself in such manner as to win golden
opinions from people of another blood and an
other religion; thus establishing himself in the
goodwill of the most powerful monarch of the age.
At the end of those seventeen years came the
termination of his earthly career and having CIV
en- his magnificent blessing to his sons "he
gathered up his feet into the bed and yielded up
the ghost"
In honor of this man, who had not considered
it too much to impose his sons the duty of
conveying his body back to the land of Canaan
that he might be buried in the tomb of his family

From the Hobo's Standpoint.

The most normal and natural that walks
the earth is the socaled hobo. He lives closer
to nature and acts more in harmony with the
spiritual law of unselfshness, as husting,
self-destructive brother. He takes deeper inter
est in the natural political: social, intellectual
and esthetical world than his busy half-pros
trated brother ever can, because he finds time to-
observe recreate and unfold mental qualities that
relate to genius. Contrary to the hurry, worry

and emotions are shrunken Crowded out), these
people are the true of Mary, that listen to
the inner voice their guiding STAR The diff

hoboes lies chiefly in the formers education and
refinement, which the latter had not the oppor-,

Our Resources and
Our Navy.

Now that our navy is to the fore-in the lime
light, so to speak-and our ability with our pres
ent resources to cope with Japan is freely can
vassed it will not be unnteresting to glance back
at our achievements In our Revolution and fight
with Great Britain consequent upon our declara-
tion of independence our poor halffrozen, half
starved, poory-equipped volunteers, men and boys,
found themselves able to cope with the most
powerful, bestequpped army and navy on earth
at that time, and defeated.
The same thing happened in 1912. With a few
rotten ships defeated the British navy on the
Atlantic seaboard, and with their great battle
ships securely disposed in the Gulf of Mexico,
and their magnificent army massed in front of
New Orleans, after an insignificant running battle
of few days, the last great day of the battle,
the british army annihilated, with the loss on
our part of only six men-by handful of Ken
lucky and Tennessee volunteers men and boys,
Just arrived in camp, sick with malaria, starved
and poorly clad and armed.
George Rogers Clark won for us three states
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri-from the French
and Indians and their British allies with little
company of hundred and seventy volunteers,
half starved, frozen and poorly equipped-re-
cruited in central Kentucky, carried by boat and
marched through marshes to the Mississippi
river, without the loss of a single man, though
sharp battle was fought at Vincennes, where the
British under Hamilton were strongly intrenched.
Gen. Harrison captured the northwest, defeat
ing the Indians and their British allies with an
army of volunteers.
In the Mexican war, when there was call for
volunteers, Kentucky was asked for 2,4OO men.
Sepentu thousand answered the cali. Out of 155
companies raised, rs were disbanded and sent
home and Mexico became a training ground for
raw recruits. General Taylor gained the first de-
cisive victory by bringing force of 1,7OO jaded
volunteers against force of at least 5000 at
Matamoras which they took without resistance
This Mexican demonstrated the fact that the
American militia properly commanded could sus
tain long series of attacks and stand steady under
the iercest fire without becoming demoralized.
In the Civil War, in response to the calls for
volunteers never before were such armies gath
cred into the field in so short a time as were
ours, both North and South. Never were such bat
ties fought They staggered humanity. Could
regulars have done more? 1t was in view of these
facts that Lincoln exclaimed:

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-08-06
adopted at the National Convention held
at st. Louis, April 2 and g. 1908.)
Preamble.

The Peoples party of the United States in
convention assembled at ST. Louis Missouri,
this End, day Of April, 1908, with increased
confidence in it's contentious, reaffrms the
declarations made by its national convention
at Omaha.
The adomontion of Washington's fare
well; the state papers Of Jefferson and the
words of Lincoln are the teachings of our
greatest apostles of human rights and po-
litical liberty There has been departure
from the teachings Of these great patriots
during recent administrations. The gov
eminent has been controlled so as to place
the rights of property above the rights Of
humanity and has brought the country to
condition that is full of danger for our ma
tional well-being. Financial combinations
have had too much power Congress and
too much influence with the administrative
departments Of the government.
Prerogatives of government have been I'M
wisely and often corruptly surrendered to
corporate monopoly and aggregations of
predatory wealth. The supreme duty of the
hour is for the people to insist that these
functions of government be exercised in
their own interests. Not the giver of the
thirty pieces Of silver has been condemn
ed, but the "Judas" that received them,
execrated through the ages; the sycophants
Of monopoly deserve no better fate
Money
The issuance Of money is function Of
government and should not be delegated to
corporations OF individuals. The constitu-
ton gives Congress alone the power to issue
money and regulate the value thereof. We
therefore demand that all money shall be
issued by the government direct to the people
without the intervention of banks and shall
be a full legal tender for all debts public
and private and in quantity sufficient to
supply the needs Of the country.
The issue and distribution Of full legal
tender money from the Treasury shall not
wise, but direct to the people without in
terest for the construction and purchase Of
Federal and internal improvements, utilities
and employment of labor
Land
The public domain is the sacred heritage
of all the people and should be held for
homesteads for actual settlers only. Alien
ownership should be forbidden, and lands
now held by aliens or by corporations who
have violated the conditions of their grants
should be restored to the public domain.
