Found at Last.

For several winters past my VIE

which invariably extended over
period of several weeks and caused
her many sleepless nights" writes
VIII ]. Hayner, editor of the Burley,
Colo, Bulletin. Various remedies
were tried each year, with no bene-
fetal results In November last the
cough again put in an appearance
and my wife, acting on. the sugges-
ton of a friend, purchased a bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
The result was, indeed, marvellous.
After three doses the cough entirely
disappeared and has not manifested
itself since" This remedy is for

IS LENTEN SEASON
Announcement is Made of the Catho-
lie Regulations for the
Season.

Ash Wednesday, this week, was
the beginning of Lent, and special
services have been announced for
this week. The observation of Lent
is most strict in the Episcopal and
Catholic churches. The regulations
for the Catholic church are strict,
and are summarized as follows:
Flesh meat may be used at all
meals on Sunday, and once a day at
the principal meal on Mondays, Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays, ex-
cept Saturday of Ember week and
Holy Saturday eMat and fish are
not allowed at the same meal during
Lent, not even on Sundays. The use
of lard and drippings is permitted
in the preparations of abstinence
food.
The following persons are not
obliged to fast: The sick and con-
valescent, those in feeble health, wo-
men nursing. all engaged in labori-
Gus and exhausting occupations, the
young who have not completed their
21st year, and those who have reach
ed the 60th year of their age. Those
who are excused from fasting on ac-
count of their age or hard labor may
eat meat more than once on those
days on which it is allowed.
By special induct for the United
States it is permitted for working
men to use meat on all fast days of
the year except Fridays, Ash We'd
nesday and Saturday in Holy Week
and the vigil of Christmas. This
privilege is also extended to the
whole family of the working man.
All those who make use of the
above dispensation should supply, in
part, the spirit of penance, by prayer
and almsdeeds, by abstaining from
all public amusements and parties
and from all intoxicating beverages.

THE PANIC Of
NINETEEN
CHARLES w. MORSE SAYS HE
WAS WHOLE THING - DE-
CLARES BUSINESS DEPRESSION
WAS NOT A ROOSEVELT OR
MORGAN AFFAIR.

New York, Feb. 26.-Charles w.
Morse today gave out an interview
expressing his views on the subject
of the accusations against him, and
of the conditions associated with the
great financial crisis of 1907, which
resulted in his downfall.
II am the panic of 1907" he said.
For some time" continued the
former president of the Bank of
North America, there was great
speculation as to whether it was
Roosevelt panic or Morgan panic,
or rich mans panic; but at last it
was determined by common consent
that I was the panic, and as such a
panic have been indicted and tried
as panic, and, as all panics ought
to be treated, have been denied bail
as a panic.
In order to indict and Jail it, it
| was necessary to have it transmigrate
into some human being, and so with
little publicity and about one hun
dred counts in one indictment, and a
general charge of conspiracy through
which to let in cargoes of otherwise
incompetent evidence, the transmit
grafton was easily brought about,
and I was compelled to stand for the
loss of every dollar and the ruin of
every home and the bankruptcy of
every business in the panic of 1907.
This in the face of the fact that the
acts for which l was indicted and
tried occurred almost wholly in 1905
and 1906.
81 do not complain that I must
bear the burden of my mistakes, but
it is hard for a man who knows as
much about the banks and banking
of New York as I do to convince
himself that he is justly confined in
a cell, when the things for which he
is confined have been the daily prac-
tice, and are the daily practice in
banking in New York at present
did what most other bankers have
been doing for years, are doing to-
day, and will continue to do after
am dead and gone-I speculated
with my own money for myself
made my profits and bore my losses
The bank speculated through me
openly. made it's profits, every dollar
of which was accounted for and dis
tributed among it's stockholders, who
rejoiced at its prosperity.
''The government had been gun
ming for seven years for rich male
factor; this had been the burden of
it's literature, both in message and
in speech. I was reputed to be rich,
and l was indicted as malefactor.
This furnished the setting for the
whole play.
SIN the enforced leisure which I
am enjoying CD I have looked up
with some care the real meaning of
'scapegoat,' and I find in Standard
dictionaries it is defined as follows:
Taken from Jewish antiquity: A
goat, upon the head of which Aaron,
on the great day of atonement, SYM
bolically laid the sins of the people,
after which it was sent away in the
wilderness. "
