TIE sLARNsY STONE

This is the legend of the famous Blarney stone, which tradition says was in possession of the Carfnagen- fans, and perhaps before their day of the Syrians or Phoenicians, wno set- tied the African city. The kissing of 1t is said to have made the Syrlans double tongued, and the expressive Runic faith is credited to it's qualities. Becoming enamoured of the ssone, some adventurous Argonauts stole 1t and then set sail for Cyprus. but with adverse gales were carried past the

Casual Comment.

The stories of some men. although of greater length. are like the play on which Shakespeare comments in the Midsummer-Nfght's Dream: "A play there Is. my lord, some ten words
 long,
 Which is as brief as I have known g
 play.
 Bat by ten words. my lord, it is too long, Which makes 1t tedious"
 An erstwhile acquaintance tried to tell me one of these too-long tsn-word stories last night just as I was en, deavoring to return to the bosom of my fireplace and the bull pup. l cen ter-rushed. side-stepped, played whirI igig and punted, but still his detainins hand was on my shoulder and his dry and insipid tale was in my ears. ] heard the elevator ascending and, ] knew I must make wild dash for lib. erty. said, madly: There comes the liftI must catch my trainl I bea your pardon, but must go," and push. ing him rudely to one side, I ran all the way to the station-and found my watch was five minutes fast. Now I wonder what the dickens that seoEy was about, anyhow, that my friend was trying so patiently to tell me?
 Whoever loves 6 laugh, should gfvs aas in return.

COMMON SENSE vs.. STRONG
DRUGS.
Simple Oil Of Winterereen Cures &c.
zena and Drives Out Old
Fogy Treatment.

IL you were to hack your finger or
scald your arm, you would apply some
healing remedy as soon as possible,
wouldn't you?
That would be good common sense
and it would bring the quickest re-
lief. You surely would never think of
drinking medicine or dOctoring the
blood to cure a surface affliction.
It's just the same principle with dis
eases of the skin. Eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum and BARRIERS itch can 0e
cured and cured easily if you strike
right at the trouble as you do with a
cut or burn.
The cause Of itching, burning skin
diseases according to modern science
is a germ which feeds upon the weak
er parts of the skin. To kill these
skin bacilli which produce the itching
sores and ugly red blotches, use the
famous prescription of oil of winter
green, glycerine and thymol, common
" known as d. d. ID. Prescription
This mild liquid was advocated by {
prominent skin specialist, DR.. Dennis
of Chicago, long before it was adopted
generally. This liquid is called D. ID
d. Prescription. 1t is a positive spe
cific for all skin diseases.
Don't dose the stomach. Cure tht
skin through the skin. We know D
D. d. and vouch for it. Call at any
drug store and get booklet on Skin

New York. Feb. 25.-According to re-
ports received here, Harry Kendall
Thaw is believed now to be hopelessly
insane. It is declared that alienists
who have examined and observed him
since he was committed to Matteawar
Criminal Insane asylum are convinced
that he is paranoias, and as paranoia
is a progressive disease, it would ap-
pear that nothing short of a miracle
can intervene to secure his freedom.
In the present state Of Thaw's case
his future is entirely in the hands of
the state board of lunacy and the staff
of alienists in Matteawan. Custom
provides that when a man is commit
ted to the state hospital for the crimi-
nal insane the doctors there shall OBJ
serve him for 60 days and then make a
report upon his mental condition If
they see fit.

The Issues Joined.

Upon one proposition at least
there is a direct issue between Bry-
an and Taft. The Republican con-
vention declared in favor of postal
savings banks only in the event
that the plan for the guaranty of
deposits could not be put in effect.
Mr.. Taft has denounced the demo-
cratic plan. 1t is not material that
the state of Kansas, through it's Re
publican convention has declared in
favor of it; that means only that
Kansas Republicans have repudiat-
ed their national platform and their
national nominee. 1t will not re-
heve the Republican party of re-
sponsibility of antagoism to the
most popular issue if as is antici-
pated the Republicans of Nebraska
also endorse it. The voter must ac-
cept the attitude of the nominee for
president and the utterances of the
national platform as authoritative
ON all matters touched upon by
either. Quincy Herald

The United States treasury is pay.
ing out nearly one million q day
more than it is receiving. that is,
the deficit for the first II days OF
July is $16.157,61S. The last ses-
sion of Congress appropriated the
enormas sum of $1,O08. .397, ,543. So
for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1908, and the session of Congress
beginning next December may be
expected to appropriate as much
for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1909. That would give our present

record of being a two billion Con-
gress. Every dollar the Govern

Under Republican policies the tax
paid by the poor man is as great
as the tax paid by the rich man. In
fact. in some cases the tax paid by
the poor man is greater. For in
instance, when Mr.. Rockefeller, or

for underwear valued about 20
cents per pound, he pays a tariff of
$685. per cent. but when a poor
man buys cheaper grade of fam
mel for his underwear valued at
more than 40 cents per pounds. he
pays a tariff tax Of 1857 per
cent.
