STEVE sPARkMAN.

Congressman Sparkman will not be
a candidate for the United States Sen.
ate next year under any circum-
stances, but will be a candidate for
reelection to Congress from the First
district. Col. Sparkman confided this
much to his friend. Col. Robert w.
Davis, prior to his departure for
Europe. with the request TO make his
decision public at such time as Col.
Davis deemed proper. There is lit.
tie doubt that Col. Sparkman can be
OF more service TO his people in the
House than in the Senate. for he Is
the ranking Democratic member OF
the Rivers and Harbors Committee
in the House. and the only member
Of that committee Florida has had
In fifty years. Should the Democrats
elect a majority Of Congressman in
1910 Col. Sparkman will undoubtedly
be made chairman of this committee.
which is without doubt the most i'm
portant OF all committees so far as
Florida is concerned: whereas should
he relinQuish his seat in the House
to run for the Senate II may be fifty
years before Florida is again given
a place on this committee. Col. Spark.
man realizes all this. and while It is
natural for a man who has served
In the House as long as he has to
desire promotion TO the Senate, he
feels II his duty to remain where he
can be OF the most service to his
people. In this decision he has placed
the interests of his people above per.
sonal ambition. and the people OF
his district should return him to Con.
gress as long as he will consent to
serve them.

I'd Like TO See the
Liver OF a Fat Nan

This is the expression OF a medical
man who said that the liver c. fat
man must present a wonderful sight
when that man is alive and performing
his regular duties The liver is the
largest organ in the human body. The
stomach calls on the liver and so does
the blood. If the liver gives to the di-
gestive apparatus improper juices then
the digestion is wrong. This is what
makes people fat. The liver Is not right.

DECLARES SPEAKER
FEARS INSURGENTS
Representative Lloyd Says
"Uncle Joe" Is Worried
Over Outlook.
By JOHN SNURE.

That such attacks as Uncle Joe" is
making on the insurgents in his speech
at Elgin, Ill, last night presage- merry
war in the House this winter, and that
they indicate the Speaker has taken
alarm at the growing tendency to insur-
genCy and opposition, is the belief Of
Representative James T. Lloyd of Mis-
scuri chairman of the Democratic Con-
Pressional committee. who is now in
Washington.
"It looks as if there would be hot
time in the House this winter said Mr..
Lloyd. ' Uncle Joe is evidently get
ting ready to make war on the lnsur-
gents. His speech at Elgin is clearly a
declaration Of war on them. Such a
speech as that from the Speaker iudi-
Gates 10 nv mind that he has taken
alarm at the activity and strength of
the insurgent movement in the Repub-
lican party. And he may well take
alarm. The opposition to him in the
Middle West is intense, and being in
that part of the country. he probably
appreciates it.
1T is the custom OF Speaker Cannon
TO pay no attention to any attacks on
him. The fact he has departed from his
rule and has gone out making speeches
against them is the best possible indica-
tion that he and his followers are
frightened"
Mr. Lloyd said the prospects for the
election Of a Democratic House next
year were excellent. He said a meeting
Of the Democratic Congressional COM
mittee would be held soon after the
opening of Congress to map out plans
for the Congressional campaign Al
ready. the committee is doing consider
able work More will be done through
the winter. 1t is the intention 10 open
up headquarters in Washington about
the time the session of Congress ends.
Mr.. Lloyd was asked what the chief
issue OF the coming Congressional cam
paign would be.
1T viii be the tariff. in my judgment" o"
said Mr.. Lloyd. "Of course, it is early.
IL is possible that other questions will
come into prominence in the course
OF the coming session Should Sen
ator Aldrich attempt to press monetary

II would lead to new alignments."

lNGREASES WEIGHT QUICKLY

THE STORY.


n ANIEL was getting old. 1t came
u over him with overwhelming force
one day as he sat in his apartments in
the palace. Not that his physical
frame felt the enfeebling force of his
over eighty years; not that his mind
was losing its grip upon the affairs Of
state and was no longer as keen in
managing the details.
1t was not that which had suddenly
made him SIT up and think of the long,
long years he had spent in Babylon.
It was now quite SO years since the
soldiers of Nebuchadnezzar had swept
through the streets of Jerusalem and
had carried him on with the other
Jewish captives to that far on land to
the east And the years which had
passed since then had been marvellous
years. busy years, useful years. Linked
as his life had been with that Of the
will of God; conscious as he had been
that he was In Babylon for a purpose,
and that he would there serve his ma
ton and his God faithfully even while
he served before the king who had
brought ruin upon Jerusalem. he had
not had time to think Of the years as
they passed or to be conscious that his
locks we're whitening and he was
growing old.
No, the incident which suddenly
brought him face to face with the
thought OF his weight Of years was en-
tirely apart from himself. It CHANGED
that there had come into his presence
that morning young Hebrew who
was engaged In some matters Of state
which required his confederation. and
after the matters Of business had been
disposed Of Daniel had fallen into con-
versation with him. He learned that
