Degenerate Days.
(From Golfers Weekly.)

Consider the difference between the
state Of the world now and half a CEN
fury ago. Then, if you cared for hc-
ton, no one insisted on your reading
Meredith or Turgenef or Tclstoy. Sar-
gent and Rodin made no trouble then.
AS for music, the composer of "La
Boheme" was scarcely born, Tshai-
kowsky a mere youngster, and Wagner
an upstart. One didn't have to listen
to Melba or Caruso or Paderewski.
Coquelin, SonenthalI, Irving, Bern
hardt, Duse, Modjeska-well, the uni
verse did not ring with their names.
One rode behind horses on the high
ways, and there was no talk of flying
over the tops of houses, or of getting
in a week from Vienna to New York.
Neither the telephone Or the phono-
graph had been discussed, much less
the wireless telegraph. Edison was a
child, Koch and Pasteur were youths.
Radium. the X-ray. typewriting ma
chimes, and fountain pens mankind had
contrived to do without, and the pres
ent methods of str eet lighting and hay
vesting would have caused profound as
tonishment. Factories and tenements
and hospitals and public asylums-how
all is changed, and still is changing
Every one worries now about typhoid
and consumption, and therefore about
water and milk. Look at the mortali-
ty rate, especially among babies. There
were other questions to be debated in
the fifties' and sixties; for example,
whether it was right or not to m axe
men work without paying them; in
Russia ard the United States that sub
ject was all the talk. One would
hardly recognize this world. Now
everybody learns to read and write.
There are plenty of free schools, and
laws compelling children to attend

As one hears these phrases, he smiles

Uncle Joe lighted a cigar, hung one

The People May Want to Know.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington says that the suggestion
of several republican congressman
from the west the president had con-
sented not to mention the tariff ques-
ton on his western trip. In the same
dispatch Senator Dolliver is quoted as
saying: "This bill will be judged by
what it contains, not by what is now
said about it. When the people dis
cover what is in it there will be
trouble plenty for it."
But the people may want to hear
from the president on this subject. He
is, it is said, to tell the people "about
things he hopes to accomplish next
session in the way of monetary Iegis-
lation. The people will be interest
ed in that, too. But they may want to
know if our monetary laws are to be
revised to suit the financiers even as
the tariff law was revised (upward) to
suit tbs tariff barons.

Only Wanted Justice.

All of the Lexington papers are
careful to assure Judge Watts Parker
that they do not attribute his decision
against Democrats of Lexington to the
fact that he was defeated for renomi-
nation in a Democratic primary. Of
course nobody could for a moment
think that Judge Parker was influenced
by any motive save desire to see ex-
act justice done. Everybody believes,
of course, that had Judge Parker re-
ceived the nomination he would have
dcided against his party associates just
the same. Everybody who believes
this also includes the republican press.

Liver Trouble
Remedy Free

Any intelligent person can be his
own doctor in the ordinary case of
liver trouble, for the symptoms can
not be mistaken. If the white of the
eye becomes yellowish, if the skin be-
comes sallow, if pimples and blotches
appear, if the bowels do not move, if
you have sick headache, if you are
bilious, you may be sure that your
liver is torpid or inactive.
The quickest and surest remedy vet
found for the cure of liver trouble or any
of its symptoms is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, the great herb laxative compound
This wonderful remedy is not only a laxa-
tive, but tonic as well. 1t will start
the flow of gastric juice, thereby soon
enabling the liver to do its work natur-
ally. A bottle of this great liver remedy
can be bought of any druggist for so
cents or 81, and in many cases a single
bottle has cured a chronic case.
For example, John w. Lee, GIG S. Penn
sylyania ave. Indianapolis, Ind. had
stubborn and very long standing case OF
liver trouble. with pimples, blotches.
jaundice, ETC.. and it cured him. Mrs. ri
Flinchum, Jackson, KY, says the same
of 1t. Thousands Of families keep IL in
the house against just such an emer-
gency, as you can never ten when some
member Of the family win need a good

ferer from the liver make a test of DR..

expense, DR.. Caldwell viii send you free

seeming TIE BLUEFISH
Valuable Information from the Wise
Skipper for a Party Out
FiSninu

"Ah!" said the skipper out with a
party bluefshing, turning his face to
windward as he spoke and at the same
tune throwing the wheel over and
bringing the boat up and putting her
Off on the other tack, Il smell them,"
You smell them?" said a member
OF the party in the boat DO you mean
to tell me you can smell the fish,"
Why, certainly" said the skipper,
as be got another little pull on the
sheet, or you can smell where they
are, which amounts to the same
thing.
You see," the skipper continued,
the bluefish is q voracious feeder
very yoracious; he will eat about a
million of the little fishes that you
find around so plentiful in the water,
put there apparently for the bigger
hsh to feed on, and when he has
gorged himself On about a million,
more or less, of these little fishes the
bluefish Will settle down on the bot
tom and there disgorge them, and this
dlsgorSed food, oily, floats up to the
surface, and that you can smell, and it
means bluefish; and l can smell them
now, sure" And SO the skipper got
an inch more of the sheet and peered
ahead and kept her a-going with every
inch drawing, just a-humming and
a-boiling, keen on the scent.
And did the party come up with the
bluefish and catch lots of them? A
boatload OF fish? Keep hauling them
in till they all got tired of fishing?
