that the State was saved TO the Union.
Apparently he yielded to every de

putting forth efforts by which Mary

BY promptly ordering the troops to

TO LIVE FOREVER.

Thomas Edison has perfected a stor-
age battery which he say will last
indefinitely and reVolutionize the pres
ent propelling power.
Prof. Munyon says 1t is only a ques-
ton Of time until a remedy is discov.
cred that will supply the waste Of the
human body, so that one may live on
almost indefinitely, barring accidents.
This seems almost too good to be true,
but nothing seems to be impossible in
these days when we consider the hy.
Ing machine and the wireless teler
graph.
Prof. Munyon has certainly revolu.
tionized the practice of medicine. He
does not believe in building hospitals
for consumptives. He says that con-
sumption a always be traced to- >
cold. Cure a cold and you prevent
consumption. His Cold and Cough
Remedy will break up almost any form
Of a cold in a few hours and positive
ly prevent Bronchitis and Pneumonia
To convince the medical world ana
people In general Of the truth OF his
;laims he has distributed millions OF
yials Of the Cold Cure, absolutely free,
from the leading newspaper ofices
throughout the country, and the cures
that have been reported from its use
have been most astonishing. These lit
tie sugar pellets contain no opium,
morphine. cocaine or any harmful
drug. They seem to relieve the head,
throat and lungs almost Immediately.
In order that no one may be de-
prived Of this remedy he has placed
1t with all the druggists throughout
the United States for the small sum OF
rs cents, or sent postpaid on receipt
of price, and with each bottle he
gives this guarantee: "If Munyon's
Cold and Cough Cure does not do all
that is claimed for 1t, I viii refund
your money"
There are four advantages in taking
Munyon's Remedies. First, they are
absolutely harmless. Second, they are
pleasant to take Third, they relieve
almost Immediately. Fourth, they cost
nothing unless they give satisfaction.

Full and Curly Hirshute Attach
mentS Once Popular on the
Baseball Diamond.
BUT THEY WERE FATAL

According to Sam Crane, the veteran
player and critic, there was a time that
baseball ran to whiskers-full and curly,
long and flowing. that collected hay
seed, burs and cactus with every wind,
every passing zephyr
Jiggs Donohue was the last player
who dared to come out before the pub
lie on a baseball field wearing the zig
zizzers that the wind blew through.
The last time Jiggs was seen play
ing with the face lingerie was in Nash
vile, Tenn. when the Giants were on
a visit there about 10 years ago.
The evolution of baseball from the
whisker stage of the past to the pres
ent day OF clean-shaven, baby-faced
players Is interesting. 1t is not gener-
ally known what caused the sudden
change from the long, silky, flowing
htrsute ~appendages of, say a dozen or
10 years ago to h present ministerial
facial stage. Here Is the real reason:
Contest Very Close.
Once upon a time Jim O'Rourke, the
Oldest man now playing baseball, was
the left fielder of the Giants, and was
playing a game with the Giants against
the Chicago White Stockings. The
scene Of the diamond battle was the
same old historical Polo grounds that
the present Giants call home. There
was the same old sun field in left and
Sir James O'Rourke hated II, as have
all of Jim's successors to the position.
The game had gone on to extra in
ntngs-about the 18th. Tim Keefe was
pitching for the Giants and John Clark
son for the Chicagos. 1t was the crucial
stage OF a hotly contested struggle.
There were three White Stockings on
the bases, two men out, and two strikes
on Captain Arson, who was at bat. The
score was two runs each. Could there
be a more interesting or exciting stage?
The fans, for there were fans in those
days, and, yes, bugs. too, were crazy
with anxiety, yelling and shouting, on
the verge Of nervous prostration. An
SON was called baby in those DAYS.
but how he could swat
Then Il Happened.
Tim Keefe was In a hole. He had to
put the ball over or else he would force
a u in by giving Anse a base on
balls. So Tim put 1t right in the groove.
Crack, h ball sailed high in the air
and was ordinarily an easy catch for |
ORourke. There was a strong wind
blowing, but who thought that would
bother such a great fielder as |
O'Rourke? He was set under the ball
with hands outstretched. The crowd
had already began to cheer the catch. |
But, horror of horrors! Just as the

When he awoke he was lying in a
dainty room. filled with the unmistak-
able touches of a woman's hand. There
was a simplicity and purity about the
furnishings and a precision Of neatness
which instantly claimed attention. AS
his dazed senses gradually cleared
themselves from the mists OF fever he
wondered in that idle remote fashion
peculiar to people who have been lately

PEERS IN PROTEST
AGAINST TAXATION
Large Landholders Oppose
English Budget From Pure
" Unselhsh' Reasons.
From the New York world.

Mr.. Lloyd-George, the chancellor of
the exchequer, should feel Immensely
indebted TO the dukes" as he calls
them, for their attacks on the budget.
The part that makes them most indig-
nant Is the land taxes, which hit them.
AS 1t has turned out, the more bitter
their denunciation of Mr.. Lloyd-George
as Jack Cadc and of his budget as
soctalisttc and revolutionary, the more
they have weakened their cause.
What alarms 'the dukes" most, as
they are telling their tenants and SER
wants. is that they will have to reduce
expenditures if the and taxes pass. The
close to 190,0 900 acres, with deer parka
shooting preserves, gardens, stables and
hunting packs, resents Sir Edward
Grey's suggestion that he retrench on
his re~creations and lease part OF his
lands. The Duke Of Marlborough and
the Duke OF Bedford write to the pa
pers that they will have to cut of sub
Bcriptions to charities. Lord London
derry pleads that the rich land owners
DO not entertain and shoot and hunt
from selfish love of pleasure, but are
primarily ~benefactors OF a large class
dependents who would be the real
victims of land taxation. People who
DO not enjoy these advantages of wealth
and position are little. moved to SYM

OF "a dukes, not including those of
the royal family. flve-the Dukes of
Ruccleuch, Sutherland, Richmond, Fife
and Athol--own over $500, 900 acres.
With the Dukes of Devonshire, Port
land, Argyll. Northampton and HamIl-
tor, they hold nearly $500, 900. The
holdings OF the Dukes of Norfolk, Bed
ford and Westminster cover immense
areas in the heart Of London. In a
hundred years 1000, 900 acres in Scot
land ave been turned into deer parks
shooting grounds.
Not only have the owners of these
large landed estates been exempt from
taxation such as every property holder
IN this country regards as his due share,
but they are using all their political
power to protect the privileges Of their
class. If the house of lords rejects the
budget or amends the land tax provis-
ions, the liberals and radicals could
have no better grounds for insisting
that the time is ripe for really revolu-
tionary measures that will protect the
people against the peers.
