manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, it is not claimed
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
SIENNA is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that ut cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
facilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from

ROOSEVELT WILL BE THERE
President Will Attend the Convention
in Person.

Under certain conditions Roosevelt
may break all precedent and attend the
republican national convention at Chi
cago.
He will do this for two reasons. One
is to prevent any enthusiastic friend
from attempting to engineer STAN
pede in his favor, and the other is to
see that the national committee plays
fair in its decisions in relation to con-
testing delegations from states where
there are contests.
1t is believed that well defined plans
are being made to put enough contest
ing delegations into the field to throw
the control of the convention into the
hands OF the national committee,
which will pass on the claims of rival
sets of delegates.
The president realizes that certain
interests would go far and spend a
great amount of money to swing the
convention away from Taft To see
that no such gigantic scheme of politi-
cal fraud is consummated would be
the presidents aim in being on the
spot
The leading question now is, would
Roosevelt throw himself into the
breach and capture the nomination IL
the scheme to block Taft succeeds?

Twelve thousand pounds left to

an old silk hat, was the subject of a
resumed case In the probate division
Of London court a few days ago. An
old silk hat ESQ the story runs) was
lent by the testator, a Polish peddler,
to William Thomas Wall, a hairdres-
ser Of Cambridge, that he might at
tend a funeral, and he returned the
hat directly afterwards. Subsequent
ly the peddler brought the hat to Mr..
Wall, saying, you may as well take
charge of it," After the peddler's
death his will was found in the hats
silk lining. The president of the court.
in giving his decision, said the story
of the finding might seem very re-
markable one, but in the probate
registry at Somerset House there
were just as singular curiosities in
wills. He came to the conclusion that
the will was established, and granted
probate OF 1t, the costs to come out Of

No piece of American political furni.

of the republic than the undesirable
three-legged stool which the vice
presidential chair has become. The
founders put it in the best room, Sec
ond only to the presidents seat Now
1t is out in the back yard of political
favor. Yet 1t is an important office:
the presidency of the senate is place
of power. Four vice-presidents have
risen to the highest Office through
the death of the president. Three
others-Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren,
were vice-president before they
were president. In the case of the
early vice-presidents. election to the
second place meant that they had been
candidates for the first place. And
what that really means ought to pre-
vail now; that is, no man should be
elected vice-president who is not re-
garded as good enough to be presi-
dent.

New Orleans from the River.


You would never get good impress
sion of New Orleans from the river,
either after dark or before (says .
travelling correspondent of the New
York SUM. In the daytime little is
visible beyond the long protective
works but dull desert of roofs from
which few steeples and skyscrapers
emerge without adjoining it. The
city owes everything to the Father Of
Rivers, but he is a harsh, intrusive
creditor, with whom she does not
wish her intercourse to be too close.
So far as her front is concerned, she
initiates some of her inhabitants,
whose street windows are always
closely shattered, while they enjoy
themselves in open interiors, pleasant
with trees and flowers. And on the
other hand, when you have gone q
dozen yards ashore the river disap-
pears as II for good. 1t never forms
the background Of prospect from the
streets; there are no pleasure prone
nades on its banks. You might forget
that it was anywhere near unless
your curiosity should happen to no
reused some fine day by mysterious
moisture darkening the ground. Then
you would learn from native with
what freedom the river percolates all
through the alluvial deposit on which
this terraqueous city--the Venice Of
America-stands. or perhaps it Is bet
ter to say, floats.
