MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT
Story of How Former Senator Dubois
OF Idaho Came Near to Seat Oc-
cupied by Roosevelt.

Washington.-'If former Senator
Fred T. Dubois of Idaho were less of
philosopher; if he ever permitted
himself to have vain regrets, he would
now be kicking himself to use
slang phrase, that he is not an ex-
president of the United States instead
OF an ex-senator" remarked William
F. Clark, veteran newspaper man of
New York, at the Raleigh.
Dubois could have been president,
his friends believe, although it would
have come about in the same manner
that Roosevelt became president.
Long before the convention of 1896,
that nominated William Mckinley, it
was known to Mark Hanna that the
silver Republicans were going to bolt
the convention. Hanna had a line on
Teller, Dubois, Cannon and Pettigrew,
and he was fearful, astute political
general that he was, that the result
of the bolt might be disastrous in the
election. He didn't want to take any
chances on the silver men walking
out, because he was afraid that the
effect on the voters of the country
bC Ddu, anu Wduleu CluCn
the presidency for his friend McKin-
ley.
He didn't fear the Democratic
nominee at that time, whoever he
might be. OF course, Hanna had no
idea that Bryan would be nominated,
and he didn't anticipate that the issue
in that campaign would be the silver
question, although he knew that In
his own party it had reached an acute
stage. Hanna wanted to bury that
question, because he was aware that
1t would be popular with the people.
''He did the wise thing-he, made
overtures to the silver insurgents in
an effort to effect a compromise. The
senator went to Teller and Pettigrew
and proposed that if the silver Repub-
licans would not walk out he would
agree to throw his support to Dubois
for vice president. But the silver men
would not listen to the proposal, and,
as is well known, they walked out.
If Dubois and his silver friends had
agreed to the Hanna proposal, Dubois
would have been nominated, and it's
almost sure thing that he would
have been renominated in 1900, for it
is ancient history now that the Repub-
licans had hard time to get candi-
date"

Thew Didn't Have to chance

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Scotch Oats was as pure
and clean as possible and that it was
an ideal food.
1t is SO cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result OF last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Scotch Oats has been adopted
by many persons as their food on
which they rely for adding vigor and
endurance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Scotch Oats; regular size
packages and the large size family
package; the latter. both with and
without china. 4

AS St. Louis Lawyers Talk.

Circuit Judge Reynolds had an
-.ounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not serv-

crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles Their excuses were as
varied as those who were hidden to
the feast that the Bible tells about.
One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very well,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could
perform, and another was going on
a journey. And So it went.
The last man in the line wanted to
be let off because he was a German.
He might have been excused if he had
not presented his excuse wrong end

OLDEST LAND IN THE WORLD
Had Its Origin in the Lauren
tian Highlands.

Stretching across Canada, north of
regions about the source of the Mis-
sissippi, is range of low granite hills
called the Laurentian highlands. These
hills are really mountains that are al
most worn out, for they are the old
est land in America and, according
to Agassiz, the Oldest in the world.
In the days when there was nothing
but water on the face of the globe,
these mountains came up-a long is
land of primitive rock with universal
ocean chafing against its shores. None
of the other continents had put in
their appearance at the time America
was thus looking up. The United
States began to come to light by the
gradual uplifting of this land to the
north and the appearance of the tops
1f the Alleghenies which were next
in order. Later the Rockies started
up. The United States grew south.
ward from Wisconsin and westward
from the Blue Ridge. An early view
of the country would have showed a
large island which is now northern
Wisconsin, and long thin tongue of
this primitive rock sticking down from
Canada into Minnesota, and these two
growing states looking out over the
waters at the mere beginnings of
rnountain ranges east and west. They
were waiting for the rest of the Unit
ed States to appear.-The Atlantic.

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that YOU eat suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digestcd thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it 10y giving it rest,
and KodOl will do that.
