MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
The Awful Toll Collected by Con
sumption.

If people could only understand that
Catarrh is internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
| good-they would not need to be warn
ed so often about this fatal disease,
which, when neglected, invariably ends
| up in consumption, at the cost of mil
lions of lives every year. Yet Ca
tarrh is easily cured if the right treat
ment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
/ blood which circulate throughout the
| entire system. External remedies give
! but temporary ease Although the
| effects are often seen in the fom of
pimples, rash, eczema, or dry scaly
! skin, the trouble is internal and can
never be cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is absorb
ed and carried by the blood to all parts
Of the system, so that the mucous
membrane of the internal lining of
the body is thoroughly medicated,
soothed, disinfected of germ matter,
and the soreness healed.
We have a remedy prepared from

III 'iUor of a Period
When MoralIdeas Prevailed;
Echo of a Day That is Dead

WASHINGTON, April Like I
faint echo of neglected party campaign
cries and of the forgotten eloquence
of the stump is the bill introduced by
Congressman Bennett of New York,
providing for a reduction in the rep
resentation in States which have dis
franchised the negro. Mr.. Bennet's
voice is a small one; it falls upon
dull ears; but it is a challenge never
theless, to all Republicans in execu-
tive and legislatice station.
Fortified though he may be by party
platforms and party traditions, Mr..
Bennett must know that in proposing
this policy he defies presidential pow
err never so great as it is today. He
must know that in speeches in New
York and at the South Mr.. Taft has
virtually approved of the notification
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. He must know that the Pres
ident has openly announced that no
negroes shall be appointed to office
in opposition to the wishes of the
whites. He must know that of all

Huston, these defendants have all
been convicted and sentenced for de-
frauding the state in wooden furni-
ture contract but they are out on bail
pending an appeal to the superior
court. The case is known as the
"desk" case, and is said to show fraud
not only in the billing, but in the cal
culations. 1t has also several features
similar to the first case, in which in
correct termination was charged.

GLIDDEN TOUR
TO START west

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 5.-Leaving
Detroit today the Gliddenites, it is
said, will run west as far as Clinton,
Iowa, then north to Minneapolis and
st. Paul. From the twin cities the pro-
posed route leads southwest to Omaha
west to Cheyenne, Wyo, south to Den
yer and east to Kansas City, where
the tour will probably end
While as yet no efforts have been
made to have st. Louis included, it is
thought that proper representation
would be the means of getting this
city on the Glidden map.

NEW YORK, April Sir Thomas
Shaushnessy. president Of the Cana

to whether his company intends to dis
continue operating steam locomotives
into Vancouver said:
We are now operating some mile
age out at Vancouver in concert with
the electric railway company there. 1t
is possible that we may extend that
mileage, but no definite decision has
yet been reached"
This is interesting in connection
with the following statement recently

in the engine"

GREAT WALL OE CHINA.

When you leave the train at Nan
kon, twenty-seven miles from Picking,
and make your way toward the Great
Wall of China, says a writer in the
Wide World Magazine, you proceed
along a dusty road in summer and a
sea of mud during the rains. The
journey is undertaken on donkeys, or
in chairs carried by coolies. In the
middle of the NankOn Pass there is
a Chinese inn where the caravans
halt The manager offers travellers
accommodations according to Chinese
customs, but European beds are placed
on the dais in the compartments; and
it is even possible to procure a bottle
of champagne or glass of beer be-
fore one retires. In fact, in many
ways the enterprising host has an eye
for business. He has learnt how TO
mix a cocktail and travellers can pro-
cure baths These Chinese inns are
found beyond the Wall on the road
to Kdlgan, where the railway will run
in the near future. AS one gets far
ther inland, European comforts and
ideas Of civilization depart, but it is
possible almost anywhere along the
main roads to purchase sodawater.
The inns are invariably built in the
form of square. At one side distin-
guished travellers and European stop
and opposite the coolies and servants

upon the presumably drunken mans
shoulder.
Had he confined himself to words
he might have remained, haranguing
and demonstrating all night, but any
thing in the shape of blow was the
spark of fire upon the barrel of gun
powder; the excited man turned with
q mad light in his eyes and felled the
policeman to the ground.
Keep off" he cried, shaking his
head wildly. ITS murder, I tell you,
downright murder! You killed her, you
fend. and you shall pay for it!''
The policeman, astounded by the
suddenness of the attack and the ad-
dress, shouted for help and struggled
to his feet.
In few minutes the crowd. which
always seems to be ready at a mo-
ment's notice, was on the spot asking
questions, shouting, pushing forward
in excited confusion.
In the midst stood the policeman,
firmly grasping the man, who stared
around him with a dazed, bewiIdered
air as perfectly unconscious of the
cause OF the excitement as many of
the spectators.
Come, are you drunk, or what?"
asked the policeman, too conversant
with his duty to resent the blow he
had received. whats the matter with
you? Perhaps I'd better run you in.
don't like to do it, for you're certain
of six months, you know, but if ]
leave yer you'll be doing some damage
to somebody. Here, you'd better come
along, I think"
And he proceeded to clear pass
age through the crowd in the direc-
ton of the police station.

AN EDITORS DREAM.

The editor sat in his rickety char,
With pie in his fingers and lux in his
hair.
The big bottle fly was buzzing his lay
And the shadows of evening were
closing the day.
His tired lids dropped and he dreamed
a sweet dream
And his soul in ecstatic rapture did
CLEAN.
His dingy small Office expanded in
size,
And his cases of type were void OF
the pie.
His wife wore smile as she did
years ago
And the embers of life cast a most
joyous glow
Der the clean, spacious office and
furniture rare,
And DER his calm future no shade OF
dispair
His subscribers filed in by tours and
by tWOs
And paid their subscription and all
They gave the glad hand and words
of good cheer
And shekels rolled in from far and
from near.
The shadows grew thicker-the edi-
tor woke
And found that he still was wearing
his yoke.
His cupboard was bare, his children
iIl-fed;
And the gold that he dreamed of was
a slug of cold lead
Thus onward through life he'll toll as
before
To keep the gaunt wolf from his lone
cabin door;
And when the last trumpet shall sum
mon him home
He'll leave the old Iarder minus
bread or a bone

PROFESSOR Kll-LEMOFFskI.

Professor Killemonski had but one su
preme delight,
Which was to find some certain way In
which to win fight.
He cruised right round that thought until
he made gun so great -
And powerful that 1t could sink navy
while you wait
And when he had that gun complete 20 1t
would send a shot
Right through an armored vessels side and
sink 1t on the SPOT
He set himself about II Just az firmly to
create
A warship made Of stun no gun could ever
penetrate.
And finally he built a boat, and did his
work so we'll
That gun Of his could never drill a window
through its she'll
lts SIDES were some new kind OF steel so
tough and firm and stout
That all the guns In Christendom could
never knock 1t out.
And yet he was not satisfied, but studied
day and night
He lunched on smokeless powder and he
dfned on dynamite.
The fierce expression on his face was proof
beyond a doubt
That there we're other problems still for
him to figure out.
He went away on by himself and built =
secret MILL
Twas "ffteen miles from nowhere" and
ne camped right there until
He found new explosive SO all-powerful
and fierce
That 1t could send shell through steel no
other shot could pierce.
He still kept on inventing; every gun he
made would shoot
Ten times far as all the rest and twice
as straight to boot
Until. at last. he made a gun that shot 30
far, alack!
The ball went clear around the world and
hit him In the back
But maybe 1t was for the best for, had he
lived, full soon
He must have made a gun with which to
shoot away the moon
And Venus. Saturn. Mercury, and Jupiter
and Mars,
And on and on and on until he shot out all
