Rev. ]. r. Moore's discourse to the
fraternal orders on Sunday night was
very fine and was listened to by a
full house. While setting forth the
friendly relations among the members
of the various secret orders he laid
great emphasis upon the fact that
without regeneration and faith in
Christ they would be as far lost as
was Dives, it mattered not how strict
they were in living up to the re-
quirements. Mr.. Moore made a GEN.
ter shot, so to speak, at the way the
Sabbath day was being desecrated by
the unveiling of monuments erected
by fraternaI orders.

ity, one that has an established reru-
tation and that Is certain to effect
a quick cure. Such a medicine is

having resulted in pneumonia when
this remedy was used, which shows
conclusiyely that 1t is certain pre-

After this disclosure Madame
Baratelli went out to herself and
tried to cry. This, she thought
might help her in her soul hunt
and she recalled her troubles and
sins, but there were comparatively

for her evening appearance rather
more out of temper than usual.
1t was great occasion. Prince

WILL SENATE GET
EVEN ON BRLSTOW?

Bristow when he comes among
them as an equal. Usually the SEN
tate takes a man up Immediately
as soon as he becomes a member
of the lodge" That is, the sena-
tors take him up If he shows a dis
position to be tractable and not in
dependent. The senate would even
have welcomed LaFollette as a
full fiedged member of the lodge"
IL LaFollette had been willing to
take things ina mild senatorial
manner and not attempted to run
things to suit himself.
If Bristow comes with the meek
and lowly manner. which is the
course pursued by many new sena-
tors, he will probably be forgiven
for the "Bristow report" and will
be taken into full fellowship. But
there is an Independent crowd of
new senators growing up In the
body and he may prefer to become
one of them
Reference was made short time
ago to Chester l. Long. whom Bris-
tow defeated for the senate, as one
of the senators who went with
Secretary Taft to the Philippines.
Another senator who was on that
trip was Francis G. Newlands, who
has been endorsed by the demo-
cratic state convention for reelec-
ton because he Is very popular in
that state, Newlands and Long
and one or two other senators
from states that were not SO i'm
portant incurred the displeasure
of some of the veteran members of
the house of representatives who
were also on the trip. Former Sen
ator Dubois of Idaho was one of
them Both Newlands and Long
had been members of the house
and served on the ways and means
committee and were bossed around
by Chairman Payne, as all commit
tee members are when a veteran Is
at the head of the committee.
Now. it seems that these old vet
Grams, long in the service of their
country, had to take back seats
wherever they went in the Philip
pines and other foreign countries,
while Newlands. Dubois and Long
and other senators, were given
places of honor and pushed for
ward to the front rank. 1t was
this preference that caused Colonel
Pete Hepburn to remark to-
Senero Payne that he was tired Of
being pushed into the rear rank
to make room for bullfrog senators
from sagebrush states"
But such is the case everywhere.
No matter how small his state. or
what position a senator may hold
before the country, he given prefer
ence over any member of the huose
unless it is the speaker.

SUCCESS
BH DR-WRC-LATS SON

you must know exactly what you

Few people know; but they are the

people have any definite plan of

really want. Few, indeed, are cap

The prime secret of success,
then, is to want intensely, and to
know what you want. That means
that you take all means, make all
sacrifices necessary to attain your
wish. You must be healthy, you
must apply yourself day and night,
you must concentrate on the object
of your ambition. You must care
