Of It, that he had no such ambition?
Well, for the moment Isaac II. may
have smothered his ambition, but
t has now burst into flame again
and is burning with a brilliancy that
lights up the entire surrounding
country. And .et ii be noted here
that if Mr.. Mann gets into the fight

EVERY WOMAN CAN Be BEAUTIFUL
A Wonderful Ne diCinal

PLUMP, HEALTHY AND STRONG.

Mr.. j. Simpson Robinson, the noted
scientist, recently. discovered a secret
process by which he is enabled to COM
bine the fattening, health producing
properties of Alfalfa with certain
oriental plants. This preparation is
known as Robinson AlfaIfa-Nutrient
and it is unequalled for driving disease
out of the system and restoring perfect
health. A chemical analysis shows that
RObinsOn's Alfnlfa-Nutrient is abso-
iutely free of drugs, poisons, narcotics
or opiates. 1t will make thin, run
down women fat and plump; viii make
the sick strong, robust and vigorous;
puts good, rich blood in the arteries
and will strengthen weak E,a and shat at
short time. 1t gives to the tired and
faded the rosy cheek and the quick
Alfalfa Nutrient is different from
anything that has ever been d ns fSe
elements of which the human system
is composed and in this way drives
out disease, regardless in what part
of the body the affection may be To-
Gated.

The Temperance Wave in the West

In the matter of the several southern
states and the many counties in other
states Of that section which have re-
Gently joined the temperance column,
some authorities have held that the
race problem was leading factor in
the prohibition victory. Whatever the
truth of this as regards the South.
it will not be contended that the race
problem figured in the great victories
won this week by the temperance
forces in the Middle West. The Anti
Saloon league led the fight there and
there was no question of negro crime
and poverty involved. 1t was IL square
fight between the friends and foes of
the saloon. The result was that scores
of counties and hundreds of towns
voted no license for the first time in
their history. The dry belt was en-
larged all through the Middle West
where the elections were held. In ILL
nois alone about 1900 saloons We're
voted out of existence. In Michigan
10 out of the IA counties where cleo
lions were held voted to join the dry
list. In Nebraska and Wisconsin there
were sweeping gains for the no license
forces.
The liquor interests seem to have
gained nothing; they have merely
held their old ground in the cities. On
the other hand, most of the country
localities not before under a no-license
policy have now decided in favor OF It,

1t is strange that men should be-
lieve that they can stop the progress
of omnipOtent and eternal Good.
Human thought swings back and
forth like a pendulum, but unlike the
pendulum it does not measure exact
distances with both strokes. Its
backward stroke never goes quite as
far back as the last one went, and it's
forward stroke goes forward a little
farther with each swing than it went
before. This it due to the influence
Of the principle which works con-
stantly for good among men. The
process is likely to continue. 1t is
not probable that the progress now
being made toward the elimination OF
the liquor traffic will be maintained
at the rate it is going now, always
We are reaching the hours in human
history when the forward stroke of
the pendulum is taking us into the
very best days the world has ever
seen in it's effort to rid itself of the
greatest evil with which humanity has
to contend. 1t follows, since human
thought vaccilates, that three will be a
retrograde swing, but the pendulum
will never go back to the time when
the saloon predominated in all our
affairs, and the tools of the traffic
were the chosen servants of the
public. And when again the forward
stroke comes we may be sure it will
mark a still greater advence than that
registered today. The news of the
day tells of the victories over the
liquor traffic in the great western
states, Nebraska, Illinois, Wisconsin,.

Tall Fish Story.

Speaking about showers of fish," said

strange to say, they all dropped into a
salt lske ON the mountainside. That
brined them"
"Whew!' the old codgers chorused in
unison.
'.But that's not the strangest part of
the story. Ten days later a cyclone came
along, picked ur the brined mackerel and
dropped them into a hot spring That
boiled them; and, gentlemen, they were
the finest boiled mackerel YOU ever tasted
I thought about sending some home TO
the folks, but"
There was a sudden interruption end
six strong men took the nature faker out
side and ducked him in the horse trough.

The Boston Advertiser has faith that
Maine can fill Mr. Littlefield-s place
at Washington. 1t says: 1.-The re-
sponsibility of Maine in keeping her
representation up to the standard is
in some degree offset by the fact that
merely being a Maine man gives a
member of Congress a start. Whoever
wins Congressman Littlefield's shoes
will also wear Littlefield's hat, and it is
not likely to sag down over his ears.
The country has confidence in Names
constant ability to sent her good men
