Some years ago Robert j. Inger-
soil sent to famous Kentuckian
jug of old whiskey and with 1t
went the following note:
Il send You some of the most
wonderful whiskey that ever drove
the skeleton from the feast or paint
ell landscapes on the brain OF man:
IT'S the mingled soul of wheat and
corn. In it you will find the sum
shine and the shadow that chase
each other DER billowy fields, the
carrol Of the lark, the breath of
June, the dew Of night, the wealth
of summer and autumn, rich con-
tent, all golden with imprisoned
light. Drink it and you will hear
the voices of men and maidens
singing gaily the harvest home,
mingled with the laughter ofchild-
rem. Drink it and you will feel
within your brain the STARRED
dawns and dreamy dusk of perfect
days. For forty years this liquid
joy has been within slaves of oak,
longing to touch the lips of man."
The jug and the note were seen
by Bishop II. C. Potter, of New
York, who affixed the following
postscript to the latter;
81 send you some of the most
wonderful whiskey that ever
brought skeleton into the closet
or painted scenes of lust and blood
shed in the brain of man. 1t is
the ghost of wheat and corn crazed
by the loss of their natural bodies.
In it you will find transient sun
shine, chased by shadow as cold
as an artic midnight; in it the
breath of June grows icy and the
Carol of the lark gives place to the
foreboding of the raven. Drink it
and your eyes shall behold strange
women and your heart shall utter
perverse things. Drink it and you
have woe, sorrow, babbling, wounds
without cause, and worse, orphan
children mourning the loss of a
father who yet lives. Drink it deep
and long and serpents will pass in
your ears, Irvine themselves about
your body and seize you with their
fangs, at last it biteth like SER
pent and stingeth like an adder.
For forty years this liquid death
has been within the slaves of OAK, =
as harmless there as purest water.
/ send it to you that you may put
an enemy to your mouth and steal
away your brains and yet | call
myself your friend"

On specific points Of the Calls sud-
den change OF front, spreckels was
non-communicative. From his man
ner, however, 1t could be judged that
he was eager for any news OF later
developments In the San Francisco
political arena.
Spreckels refused TO say whether
or not the Call would begin an ag-
gressive campaign upon the San
Francisco Bulletin, regarded by many
as the organ OF the James ID. Phelan
political campaigners, or whether the
call intended TO follow up apparent
double dealing by men with whom
his brother, Rudolph, is remotely as
ISOLATED.
Spreckels refused adroitely to dis
euss the probabilities OF the Call

graft prosecution OF the northern city
or whether the paper would continue

ciated. and at the same time oppose

IL was during His Majesty's recent
visit TO Corfu that the mishap occur

the ownership OF the island OF Crete

causing friction between the two
governments, and II was evident that
the trouble might be serious when
the moment arrived for settlement.
King George OF Greece according
ly sought German support, and the
kaiser, who IL the Greek crown
princes brother-in-law, promised II.
He kept his word, so far as pleading
the Greek cause at Vienna and Rome
was concerned, but when he got back
TO Berlin, Chancellor Buelow, horri-
ned, pointed ont TO him that such a
course would hopelessly compromise
Germans interest in Turkey. SO
Wilhelm dropped his Greek campaign

Where Women Vote.

With all this agitation by the women
who want to vote, there is a strange
silence from the women who really do
VOTE Out In Colorado. where women
have the franchise. for instance-what
have they done? These the ques-
lions that many serious minded women
who cannot sanction the violent suffra-

DO the Colorado women use their right
to vote?
If so, why?
How do they vote?
How is their vote secured?
How do they work women politi-
clans?
A prominent Denver politician who has
worked with women at the polls and in

questions in the November woman's

Strange as Fiction.
Newspaper for Kidney and
Rheumatic Sufferers.

In Germany there is a newspaper
published in the interests of all rheu-
matte sufferers, and each week symp-
toms and treatments are discussed
by both laity and medical men. One
scientific contributor related that a
formula originated especia ally to re-
lieve kidney diseases, had almost
phenomenal virtue in the treatment
of all forms of rheumatism.
No secret is made of this formula,
which is composed of one-half ounce
fluid extract Buchu, one ounce COM
pound fluid Balmwort and two ounces
compound syrup Sarsaparilla, iniyed
in a bottle, and to be taken in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
one at retiring.
A local druggist expressed the
opinion that every rheumatic and
kidney sufferer will be grateful for
this item.
