DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE TIME.
CoIored Fisherman Most Satisfied d
When the Bites Were Few.

Riding across the country one day,
DIR. Blank noticed an old negro who
had been for quite while perched
motionless upon little bridge. fish
ing silently from the stream beneath.
For some time he watched him from
a distance, but finally, overcome by
the old fellows unmoved patience. he
rode up and accosted him.
Hello. Wash, What are you doin 6

"Fishin". sah.' came the reply.

Sidney Whitman, Bismarck's old
friend and biographer. has established
friendly relations with the presen:
chancellor. Prince Won Buelow, who
has just made him the mouthpiece for
an Interview calculated to mollify
England and lessen the tension arising
from the Moroccan situation. For the
chauvinists in either country. who are
perpetually tanning the flames OF
hatred. the chancellor has nothing but
contempt. He intimates that Germany
will soon show in some unmistakable
way her determination TO be n factor
for peace. and her friendliness for
Great Britain. Especially significant
is his declaration that the dominant
influence in the world is neither Eng
land nor Germany. much less any
single individual in either country"
but rather the worlds conscience
often called public opinion. This is a
striking tribute to the effect which
scrutiny of national policies by an
audience. international and inter
racial in makeup. is having on the ma
uons and their controlling officials.

Menace Of the Flying Machine.


What Emperor William calls "the
beginning of a new national era"
seems to be dawning for more than
one nation as one reads the daily re-
ports of successful experiments with
flying machines and dirigible balloons.
We demand now with our mornings s
breakfast at least column OF news
about the flights of airships, and we
usually get it. There is new kind OF
international race going on-a race
for the perfect airship, and the first
prize in that race is no beautiful
gawd or empty honor; it is the exten-
sion of national power and the possi-
BILE supremacy over other nations. At
least it is evident that that view is
held by many in Great Britain and
Germany. and a positive nervousness
is becoming evident over the military
possibilities of the aeroplanes and
dirigibles each is exploiting. Gen.
Baden-Powell calls upon Great Britain
to arouse herself to the new situation
that is impending. In a very few
years" he remarks, ominously, I'VE
shall see these powerful machines in
the air under perfect control and in
practical operation. Then every gov
ernment will obtain them and the ma
vies will be virtually useless as first
line of defense. Current Literature.

II Is natural to overestimate the
wealth OF millionaires. Probate courts
and executors are constantly proving
how exaggerated many of the esti-
mates arc. Legrand Powers of the
United States census bureau. in the
current American Journal of Sociol-
ogy. deals statistically and logically
with claims that are made against
millionaires as class. and shows
that either the census estimates OF
the wealth of the entire population
are ridiculously small or the popular
estimates of the relatively few mil.
lionaire fortunes are exaggerated. He
stands by the census estimates, in the
main. and denies that there is any
such concentration OF wealth as has
been assumed by some economists. as
well as by popular demagogues.

INDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and d woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's Ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia <. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration 10 nealtn
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer
ing with the wors forms of female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
oro T -rrka Mrs for advice.
I followeaAN, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
twill do for other suffering women.
