MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
O. High ST., Penacook, N. III.
Many persons have headache
after any little excitement or ex-
ertion. They cannot attend
church, lectures, entertainments,
or ride on trains without suffer-
ing. Those who suffer in this
way should try DR.. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. They give almost
instant relief without leaving
any disagreeable after-effects, as
they do not derange the stomach
or bowels; just a pleasurable
sense of relief follows their use.

1t appears now that the constitu
tionalists did not Intentionally shell
Yildiz Kiosk. The aim of their fire
was the barracks outside the palace
Enclosure, and some of the shells fell
within the Yildiz walls. The gunners
took their time and fired at regular
intervals. and their projectiles landed
in the long yellow brick structures oc.
cupied by the troops.
At ten o'clock there was only a
light rifle fire in reply Five or six
batteries of artillery were in action.
Seven or eight battalions of infantry
were disposed In semi-circle around
the palace and the attached quarters.
The troops within the city brought
comparatively few guns into action.
They dropped some shells in Schutari,
on the other side of the Bosphorus,
and caused considerable disorder
among the investing forces.
Shells Fall In Streets.
Five shells fell within Is minutes
near the head of the Grande Rue de
Pera and caused some confusion. A
few minutes later SO soldiers came run
ming into the Grande Rue from side
alley and debouched in the rear of
the attackers. They were fired on
sharply and one or two were wounded
before they were able to explain that
they were deserters from the other
side. The Grande Rue was massed
with people, and when it was learned

was tremendous outburst of cheer
ing and hand-clapping.
American Embassy Protected.
Only small part of the constitu-
tional troops were engaged in the at
tack on the barracks, as Pera is still
strongly occupied. with companies Of
infantry stationed in nearly every
street and detailed to guard every en-
bassy. The American embassy is thus
protected. and the Young Turks are
protecting all hotels and banks in the
Pera quarter, where Americans and
Europeans are gathered in security.
From the houses near Yildiz Kiosk
the bodies of those who met death
during the encounter near Tasch
Kischla barracks were plainly visible.
The streets near the firing line were
cleared and all non-combatants or
dered to remain indoors to prevent
casualties and the possibility of mob
violence, leaving the streets clear for
the exclusive movement of the troops.
The public was warned away from the
neighborhood of Yildiz Kiosk, and the
lines were impenetrable.

HARMONIZER OF HEARTS.

That was a pretty tribute which
Mrs. "Stonewell" Jackson paid to
President Taft when she called him
whe harmonizer of all our hearts "
This country really needs more har
monizers and fever bullies. 1t is a
country of such widely divergent
views, of so many sections and com.
munities, of such diamstrically op-
posed theories and standpolnts, of
such conflicting Interests, that the
harmenizer Is the man who, as a
rule, can render the greatest service.
"Big sticks" are implements of ego
tism. Subserviensy and weakness
must always be Intellectual. Mar
row-mindsdRess and bigo,ry aad
sectional hatred and class prejudice
and "slass consciousness" only
make matters worse, giving new
! fe to dying antagonisms and re-
viving slumberng snimesities.
What is nesded is a harmonizsr of
hearts-not an adroit politician TO
smooth away partisan difficulties,
not plausible demagogus to appeal
to universal self-interest, not a
sophistical reaseAer to convince the
head, but a harmonizer who touches
the nations hearts.
This necessity is what gives to
Mrs. Jackson's phrase such a happy
pertinsncy. 1t was used with
special reference, of course, to Mr..
Taft's kindly tact and broad un-
ssetionalIsm In the light of Southern
problems, but it has q universal ap-
plication wider than aay section.
There Is something mere profoundly
interesting than mere coincidence

Democrats have held the portfolio

AMERICAN HOME MARKET.

~HAN - -
The view of many public men
that the final action of congress on
the tariff will not materially affect
the business interests of the country
as a whole is Interestingly sustained
by some figures just complied by
the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment Of commerce and labor.
The paramount value of the vast
home market furnished by the
American people is strikingly shown
by the fact that not only does the
United States government export
much less than 10 per cent of its
manufactured products, but imports
less than S per cent of the total
value of these products. While the
gross amounts are steadily increas-
ing, the percentage is steadily de
creasing, showing that the home
market is expanding with grea,
rapidity and that the foreign market
does not justify SO much ofthe revo.
lutlonary and demoralizlng agitation
which its magnifed value inspires.
Figures are preverbially dry, but
when they prove the nearer and
nearer approach to practical domes-
tic sufficisncy of the home market
taey are net entirely devoid Of
interest and certainly not OF signiG-
canoe. Since the factory products
of the country in 1850 amounted to
less than one fifth those Of twenty
years later, and since those of 1870
were worth less than one-fifth those
OF twenty years thereafter, it is
manifestly uninstructive to go
farther LICK than thirty years for
purposes of comparison. Since
1880 the percentage of exports to
value of manufactured products has
steadily fallen, though the aggre.
gate has been largely increased,
showing that an enormously ex-
panding home market has consumed
the major portion of the billions OF
dollars We of products manufac-
tured, in spite of the immense
foreign markets which have been
developed during the same period.

MARCH OF THE STAR OF
EMPIRE.


Ia one of its aspects the Seattle
Exposition illustrates hew fast and
how far the center of the country's
social gravity has moved Within the
lifetime of men who are still living
The Chicago Fair of 1898, cele-
brated the 4coth anniversary of the
discovery of the New World. That
at jamestown in 1927 marked the
tercentenary of the planting OF the
first permanent colony of English
speaking people in the Western
Hemisphere. At Philadelphls in
1876 was observed the centennial
of the first step which led to the
birth of the first and the greatest of
the natiors of the eontinent-the
nation whech is the model of every
one of the twenty independent
countries which are here to-day.
1t was a cotton, however, which had
the Mississippi for its western bor-
der. At St. Louis in 1904 was
observed the hundredth year of the
time when, crossing the Mississippi,
the nation started ON Its march to
the Pacific. A detail in that march
was recalled by the fair at Portland,
Ore, in 1905, which marked the
lapse of a hundred years since Lewis
and Clark, the first of the nations
advance courlers in the march to
the big Western ocean, reached the
mouth of the Columbia.
While the fair at Seattle is not
centenary milepost in history, it was
suggested by the fortieth anniversary
Of the annexation of Alaska, which
cycle was reached In 1907. AS that
date, however, was too near the
Lewis and CLARK celebration at
Portland to be of much natioGal
interest, and alse as not enough
time was at the disposal of the
projectors of the fair at the time
they first thought of it, they post
pened the date two years. Thus we
have the Alaska Yukon Pacific Ex-
position taking place forty-two
years after the event which furnished
its motive. When, ia the treaty
with England in Is46, the United
States obtained undisputed posses
sion of the region comprised in the
present states of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, and those parts of
Montana and Wyoming which are
west of the Rocky Mountains, and
when, in the treaty with Mexico In
1913, we gained New Mexico and
California, the country's western
border was established at the Pacific,
and the first incentive was furnished
toward the acquisition of islands
out in that big sea. The stimulus
oceanward scored Its first achieve
ment in the purchase Of Alaska in
,Iso7, by which We gained all OF
iRussis's territory in North America,
iScluding a crescent of islands
stretching over into the shadow OF
Asia. The annexation Of Hawaii
became an aspiration Immediately
after the acquisition of Oregon and
Califsrnia, but it was deferred toI
