STAGE Villains.

Why is 1t that all stage villains have
black hair and dark eyes? There is
surely some reason for this and for
the resultant association in the popu-
lar mind of villainy and swarthiness.
Possibly 1t might be traced back to
some bogy man Of folklore in the
cradle days Of the race. But. whatever
It's genesis. the idea Is deeply rooted
In English stage literature that vii
lafns always must have dark complex
ions. A villain with yellow hair and
blue OF gray eyes, If introduced by
some daring dramatic iconoclast,
would be presumably hooted of the
stage. If we look back over Chicago's
criminal history we will find that the
villains Of real life seem to fly in the
face Of this immemorial melodramatic
tradition. The city's murderers, the
criminals who have been herded to
prison and the men who have been
hanged have had strong numerical
leaning to the blond type. That nine
out Of ten of the men who have danced
on air at ropes end In the Chicago
Jail had gray or blue eyes is fact Of
common knowledge to jail employees.
A visit to Joliet, Chester and Pontiac
will convince the curious that Illinois
penitentiaries are filed with gray and
blue eyes.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

TRY THE MONEY-BACK
CURE EOR INDIGESTION

Nine times in ten stomach de-
rangements are responsible for sallow
complexion, dull eyes and thin body.
1t is the stomach that supplies
nourishing blood to the muscles, the
nerves, and skin. II the stomach is
healthy, plenty Of nutritious matter
will be absorbed by tie blood. II it
is not healthy, the food will ferment,
and undigested, will pass along
through the bowels. furnishing SO
little nutritious matter that the blood
becomes impoverished, and the glow
of health vanishes.
If you suffer from nervousness, sick
headache, belching OF gas, sour taste
in the mouth, heaviness after eating,
or any other miserable stomach
disturbance, you need Mi-o-na, and
the sooner you get it the quicker you
will be healthier and happier.
1t will relieve any distressed stom-
ach condition almost Immediately. 1t
will cure if used according to direc-
tions. G. r. Fogg sells it for so cents
a large box, and be thinks enough of
it to guarantee it to cure indigestion.

In Washington.

The new tariff bill was reported
without delay in the House by Serene
E. Payne, chairman of the ways and
means committee. 1t provides for
downward revision, maximum and
minimum which imposes an average
maximum duty of 20 per cent in ex-
cess of the present tariff, and numer-
GUS provisions by which it is estima-
ted that the government will be in
creased from 40 to 90 million dollars.
The recomme aticns made by Pres
ident Taft that an inheritance tax be
provided and that a limited amount
of tobacco and sugar be admitted free
from the PHILIPPINES - are included in
the bill. The Philippines are kicking
like steers against this. The me asure
also provides for the issuance of Pam
anna canal bonds to the amount OF
$40 ZOO, 600, to reimburse the treasury
for the original purchase of the canal
and re-enacts the provision for the
issue of treasury certificates the
amount being increased from 500, 900
900 to $3.50, 900, 900. The bill was re-
ported to the proper committee and
promptly reported back to the House
without amendment. Now the strug-
gle has begun. No one can tell how
the bill will look when it finally re-
ceives passage. These are various
comments on it.
Senator Hale, chairman OF the Re-
publican caucus, is among those who
find the bill Objectionable. at abso-
lutely murders the wood pulp and pa
per industry in Maine," he said, 'This
is the most important industry in our
State and we shall resist the change
with the utmost possible vigor." He
predicted it would take Congress
three months to pass upon the meas
ure.
The Maine congressman are some
what disappointed in many items OF
the MY tariff bill. This entire pulp
and paper question Is OF great interest
to numerous pulp and paper mills both
in Maine and New Hampshire. The
senators and representatives from
both states will do their best to Sc
cure a restoration of the present du-
ties where changes have been made.
The duty is retained on potato
star CHI, as the Aroostook maHufactur-
ers asked.
The Payne tariff bill is now before
the House, and discussion has begun,
to continue several weeks.
