about a dozen pupils "on the string" for Emmet High School. Miss Emma has always been good at "stringing folks.
 Miss Nora Dudley of Hope has been elected to teach music in our school this year. Miss Dud- ley is graduate of the Conser- yatory of Music of Ouachita Col lege, This fact alone places the stamp of merit upon Miss Dud ley. Ne know that we have one of the best pianist in the state. Miss Dudley taught very success fully. at Newark last year. She is a young lady who possesses all the Christian graces. and we count ourselves fortunate in se- curing her services.
 A new $400 kohler and Camp bell piano has been installed in our school. This splendid in strument fresh from the factory, and our Miss Dudley, just gradu- ated from the finest musical Conservatory in the South. as- sures us that our music depart ment this year will be as good as any in the state. We invite all whoSWant good musical training to attend our school.
 A movement is on foot to build a Young Ladies Industrial Home at Emmet for the bene- fit of deserving young ladies who wish to attend our school. This will place the cost of board at a very low figure and will give many girls high school training which they could not have other wise. This is the best thing Elm met could possibly do It ought to be encouraged.
 We are thinking of adding another teacher to our faculty in order to facilitate the handling of our grades. This will give need ed relief to some of our teachers who were overburdened last year.
 Emmet High School under the leadership of Prof. Crump, promises to become one of the best of its class in the state.

Laxative for
 Women Free

There is a great difference in the purposes to which laxative should be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc. are usually violent purgatiyes or cathartics, and altogether too power full for the average person.
 4 woman at au times needs eHiy a mild laXative-in fact, none other is needed by anyone, weak or strong though they may be, for the object Is simply to move the bowels. and if a gentle laxative Wi, do 1t, what is the use of a violent one?
 pr Caldwelrs syrup Pepsin has earned weA-deserYed vogue among women and children and old foIks-pcople who must necessarily be careful of what they take.
 It is liquid laxative tonic and ad- mitt5diy the greatest stQmaeh liver and bowel remedy before the American people. The price is only so cents or Sl a bottle. as it comes in both sizes, and all drug gists sell it. Its pleasant taste and gentle action make it an ideal remedy for women in constipation totpid liver, sour stom- ach, sick headache. heartburn and such like digestive complaints Its use for short time will remove the trouble en- trely so that future medication will be unnecessary, its tonic properties build up the stomach and intestinal muscles so that they act naturally again. That this is so Is the experience Of many heads of families, like Mrs. BranHan ot AlVarado. Va, Mrs, K. l.. Stout, of Louisville, Ky, and numerous others, in fact way out in Williams, Cal, as Mrs J. k. Blackmore, of that place, writes, the whole town seems to be using it.
 If the remedy is new to you and you want to make a trial of 1t before buying, send your name to the doctors address you. Then, f results are satisfactory you can buy it of your druggist

Dr. LeCnhardt's Hen Roid has been tested in several thousand cases, and was successful in all

 Hem-Roid's wonderful record is due to the fact that it is an in ternal remedy. The cause of piles is internal, and it is too much to expect to cure piles with suppositories or oper- ations. Hem-Roid cures the in ternal cause.

No great amount of public anxiety is
likely to be manifested In the results of
the observations recently taken by as
troncmers at the peak OF Mount Whitney
in the hope of ascertaining whether or
not there is moisture on Mars. Indeed,
this is a subject in which the people at
large have but little concern. When 1t
was suggested a few months ago that
signals to Mars were possible the public
indifference on the subject was positively
appalling. A spirit of levity actually de-
veioped and the proposition was treated
as the raw material for fresh crop OF
auips and gibes. The problem or whether
there is life on Mars is not nearly as in
teresting as who found the north pole OF
who will win the pennant.
The astronomers who went up on Mount
Whitney proceeded on a theory that II
their spectroscopic observations proved
the existence of moisture on the rec
planet there would be ground for belief
in the possibility OF human life there. OF

question of inhabitation OF Mars, but

its goals OF research. The syllogism will

last of the approaching session. The
republicans have but entered upon their
program. Important as the tariff was. it
marked but one stage of their journey.
They have now either to go on. giving
the country what 1t demands and what
has been promised Of other matters, or
mark time and lose position by divisions
and factional quarrels. Which will they
do?
1t would be difficult, If not impossible,
to forecast the full effects Of the success
of the insurgent program. As matters
stand the republicans control the House.
The Speakership is theirs, the commit
tees have been accepted. and the rules
have the proper party Endorsement
But what If the republicans should lose
this control in the important feature OF
business procedure to a combination OF
insurgents and democrats, and rules
should be adopted tying Mr.. Cannon
hands In a way Objectionable to him and
to the large majority of the republican
members? Would Mr.. Cannon care to
continue in office In such circumstances?
And if he should resign and give the
combination of republicans and demo-
Gratis a chance to put new man IN the
chair, upon whom would their choice fall.
and what would his course be toward the
currency problem and other problems
awaiting action?
In word. if the republicans go to
pieces in December, or later, and the
session is barren of results on the larger
questions awaiting action by the respon-
sible majority, what will be the effect on
the country, and on next years congress
sional elections? What better means of
heartening the democratic party?

Native credibility will generally be CALI
ed high by arctic explorers. The Smith
Sound Esquimos have for many years
been familiar with arctic explorers and
arctic ambitions. They know the condi-
tons of the problem and its dificulties.
They can appreciate its tremendous inn
portance to men who have put into the
quest the best years OF their lives. In
the later stages of the controversy native
testimony will not weigh heavily against
such scientific proofs as man who has
been to the pole with instruments of pre-
cision should be able to cite. The whole
world will await with impotence Cook 8
detailed story Of his journey, his log and
map, his account of ice, weather condi-
lions and possible islands, his astronomi-
cal observations. If he does not prove
his case, his place in history will still be
secure as one of the most audacious and
memorable imposters in the annals Of
science. If he does prove 1t, many apollo
giles besides Peary's will be his due, and
he will have won the most splendid prize
in the domain Of modern discovery and
adventure.
