the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS lFATp

How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails In that
far-away country-Africa-e especially
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
balmy sleep Of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous. with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short OF letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent 1t? Mr.. George Hayes. Of
Union City. Pa, writes: 81 had lost

not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. vinoi was rec

neiped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite. and now I sleep soundly."

Racial AlimOSitieS.

The trouble at Springfield fur
nlshes another example of the fact
that racial animosities are peculiar
to no particular states or sections
in the American Union, and that
the lawless element among those
people whose fathers demanded
the abolition of negro slavery can
be quite as murderously unjust in
their treatment of the black man
as can the lawless element among
those people who once held the
negroes in bondage. The presence
of the negro in this country, and
his condition, is a national problem,
~ not sectional one. Crimi-
atty on his part is made the ex-
cuse for mob lawlessness to an
extent that is called forth by the

A LECTURE FOR HIM.
Why the Bright Little Woman Scored
Her Thoughtless Husband.

4 bright little woman was recently
overheard lecturing her husband as
follows:
Now I'll tell you why wouldn't go
into the restaurant and havesya cup Of
coffee with you while we were wait
ing for the train. didn't like the
way you asked me. Not half an hour
before you said TO Mr.. Puffer. Come,
let's set n cigar and away you went,
holding his arm and not giving him a
chance 10 decline.
When we met John Howdy on our
way to luncheon you said: Just In
time John. Come take lunch with u.s.
And then tonight, when we had to
wait an hour for the train, you looked
at your watch. turned on me and said
In questioning way, Would you like
n cup OF coTeeT And / did want It.
I was tired and little hungry. but
would have tainted before would
have accepted such an invitation. And
you went away little bit vexed with
me and had your coffee and bread and
butter by yourself and didn't enjoy
them very much. In effect you said to
really want IL. will buy IL for you
you are the best husband In the
world, but do as nearly as all the best
husbands do.
why do you men seem 10 dole out
things TO your wives when you fairly
throw them to the men you know I?
Why didn't you invite me heartily as
you invite men? Why didn't you say.
Come. let's get little coffee and
something and take me straight away
with you?
you wouldn't say to a man. Would
you like me to go and buy you a
cigarY Then why do you always issue
your little invitations to treats in that
way TO me?
Indeed. If men would only act to-
ward their wives as heartily. cordially
and frankly rs they do toward the
men whom they meet they would find
cheerier companions at home than they
could at the club" - San Francisco

Then and Now.

Years ago when he was writing
the Life Benton Theodore Roose-
veltcl'rrly recognized the iniquities
OF a protective ,,riff and was scath-
ing in his pronunciation of them
Protection, said he, lis vicious
in principle and ruinous in prac-
tice." That was before he had
even so much as dreamed of being
President. Then he saw with I'M
prejudiced and unbiased vision and
dared to write as he saw. But
since the accident of Fate elevated
him to the Chief Magistracy of the
country and the leadership of his
party his voice and his hand have
become responsive only to the de-
mands of political expediency and
the dictates of party eXigency.
Not only has there been no slightest
condemnation of Protection by
Roosevelt the President but his
active support has been given to
the maintenance of tariff policy
which carries protection to an
inordinate degree.
Later we find Roosevelt distin-
gushing himself for his ardent adj
vocacy of Civil Service reform and
relentless denunciation of spoils-
mongering. That, too, was before
it had occurred to him that he
would one day become President,
with enormous appointing power
and with gigantic Federal patron
age to WELD as the pleased-for the
rewarding of friends and the pun
lshment of enemies. But with his
entrance into the White House his
violations of and contempt for
Civil Service became as frequent
and pronounced as his former ad-
Vocacy Of it was ardent. 1t is a
safe statement that no man who
has ever occupied the Presidency
has used and abused the power of
public patronage to advance party
interests, to punish enemies and TO
reward friends, to a greater degree
than Theodore Roosevelt. This is
shown by figures furnished the
Philadelphia Record by its CORE
spondent at Washington. During
McKinley's administration the
Classified Civil Service law was
suspended only three times, and
one of these suspensions was effect
ed to accommodate Vice-President
Roosevelt who wished his friend
and tennis companion, Clifford
Pinchot, advanced. So far Roose-
welt has suspended that self-same
law three hundred and fifteen times.
Under Mckinley the forty-three
employees at the White House were
all treated as part of the classified
service, but they are no longer so
under Roosevelt. Forty-one of
them are in the excepted and non
competitive classes, and two are in
the unclassified service.
1t Is also worthy of note that the
longer Roosevelt holds office an6

the three years while he was scrv-
ing out the unexpired term of
Mckinley, he suspended the law
only twenty times. During the
first year of the present term he
suspended it forty-two times. The
next the suspensions numbered
eighty-seven, the year following
seventy-eight, and last year they
numbered eighty-eight. At this
