WelIman the Expert.

So Walter Wellman, near Arctic ex- plorer, thinks Dr. Cook is a fraud. Maybe; but at any rate Cook got a blamed sight farther north than We'll man ever did in all his fifteen years of unsuccessful attempts to reach the pole. MT. Wellman, who in 1892 mark ed with a monument the spot in the West Indies where he decided Colum- bus first landed, started in 1894 on his quest of the pole. A periodical at that time said his expedition seems to be about as crazy a one as ever started MT. Wellman mas started" several since then.-Meriden Journal.

Premier Asnuith,s Plan

It will be well to keep in mind the suggestion which MT. Asquith himself made in his powerful speech of yes- terday, when he urged that the com mons use the same means against what he called the usurpation of the lords that in the past had been used against the domination of the crown. The domination of the crown was end ed. but the crown itself remains to this day in the enjoyment of very important and substantial functions- New York Tribune.

An Old Type,

The death of Judge Arthur F. Egg gleston removes another of the older type of prosecuting attorney in Con- necticut, the sort of prosecutor who conceived it to be his duty to bring out the truth and prove the defendant guilty or innocent, as the case might be, not necessarily to show him guilty though he had to pull down the heav- ems in doing so. Let us hope that his memory may serve to raise up imita tors of that kind of prosecutor.-New Haven Register.

In order to comply with the condi- tions imposed by an act passed by the warden will probably be created again by the Bridgeport common council.

Beware PnenmOnia!I |

According to mortality statis- tics, pneumonia is one of the most frequent and fatal diseases to which humanity is subject. Its action is so rapid that it's victim if often in a precarious condition before realizing that anything more serious is the matter than severe cold.
 This Is one of the dangers apt to follow the neglect of cough or cold, and is therefore the best of reasons why one should check a cold at the start. A simple, inexpensive and effective remedy for coughs and colds is made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, hah-ounce of Vir- gin oil Of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. These can be bought in any good drug store and mixed to- gether in a large bottle. Take q teaspoonful four times day. It Is claimed by the Leach Chemical Co, of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin oil of Pine Compound pure, that this mixture will break up a cold in twenty-fou hours and cure any cough that is curable.

Father Tabb.

While the world is poorer because John Bannister Tabb is dead, 1t is the richer because he lived. As a priest he was not widely known: as a poet he was known wherever the English lan- guage is read and pure, sweet senti- ment is appreciated. Father Tabb was not a great poet. He wrote no monumental work. No ponderous vol ume carries his name. But upon the tablets of tens of thousands of hearts are indelibly engraved the words of grace and wisdom and simplicity that came from his pen. His four-line trib- ute to Father Damien, the priest who gave his life in service with the lepers at Molokai. is one of the most ex- pressive things of its kind ever writ ten. It runs:
 Unblushing to thy feet we bring,
 Oh, God, an offering
 As pure as earth can know
 A leper, white as snow.
 Father Tabb had wit and humor in abundance, and the stories about him or by him that are told in the Cath olic colleges of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia are innumerable.
 Father Tabb was not only a poet, but a student and lover of nature. He was an idealist, with the genius of con- densing his ideals into the smallest possible space.-Savannah News.

Approximately 23OO persons were

have all come out to the wild and
wolly" West to see what can be
done in the way of making homes for
themselves and families.
Six OF these stopped at Hermiston,
eight at Echo and four at Umatilla
and others at other towns along the
line that have promise of good flu
ture. Approximately 400 of these
transferred at Umatilla to go to
Washington points. A special train
consisting of eight cars was made up
for the purpose of carrying these in
to the territory they wished to see.
No. last night also had a large
number OF colonists. The first sec.

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard OF this
terrible disease? 1t prevails In that
far-away country-Africa-e
the Congo district. 1t is caused by
the bite Of the tsetse fly. When Il
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than TO lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
