Throughout the day the winding

was alive with vessels of every kind

had come from village and hamlet TO
welcome the feet. resounded to cheers
and salutes The day was perfect,
the flying squadrons OF clouds over

on opposite sides of the river only
adding to the beauty of the picture.
Every vessel in the procession was
decorated from stem to stern and in
a twenty-mile northwestern breeze
the flags and bunting snapped like
whip lashes.
Before the steamers had got well UNI
der way the Roosevelt, Peary's arctic
ship, came slowly up the river in full
view of the excursionists, who cheer
ed her warmly, waving flags and hand
kerchiefs. She dropped anchor to
wait for Commander Peary and was
soon left astern, the paraders seeing
no more of her until in the middle Of
the afternoon when she reached New
burg unfortunately too late for the ex-
ercises. Her progress up the river,
however, had been a parade and tri-
umph of her own.

There is a better spirit among the
men,"
Does it seem that your projects
are going to have fair sailing?' he
was asked.
"The service has been bitterly at
tackled" Pinchot replied. "Of course
il will be just as bitterly attacked in
the future. But it is firmly estab-
lished and think we will be able to
overcome any attempt to hamper it,"
Does the west appreciate what you
are doing?"
"The work of the forestry depart
ment is better understood and better
appreciated in the west than it has
ever been. It stands high.
ITO be sure two months is not
enough time to inspect this country's
forestry service. But 1t is enough
time to convince me that we are sue
ceeding and that our work will in the
future be carried on, on an even lar
ger scale and with greater harmony.

Gallagher by about three feet.
Again in the third Asa Wilkes was
sent out for a bad start by Pike,
and with Jerry B on one side and
Gallagher, who had been played heav-
lily in the pool selling in the lead.
Wilkes was effectually boxed and

three-quarters. being a length ahead
On the home stretch Stevens threw
his whole weight on the ribbons,
drawing his horse into the air and
Gallagher forged to the front, Wilkes
being tricked in the move and max
ing a third.
After a long consultation the
judges announced that Jerry had
been ruled ont and sent to the barn,
while her driver Arthur Stevens, was
fined 500 and he and the horse sus-
pended from the track for the sea

The moment you suspect any kid
ney or urinary disorder or rheuma-
tism, begin taking this harmless

knowledge that there is no other med
icine at any price, made anywhere
else in the world, which will effect so
thorough and prompt a cure as a fifty
cent treatment of Pape's Diuretic,

err, or any mercantile agency will tell

Cincinnati, is large and responsible
medicine concern, thoroughly worthy
of your confidence.
Don't be miserable or worried an
other moment with a lame back or
inactive kidneys or bladder
misery. All this goes after you start
taking Pape's Diuretic ard in a. few
days you feel and know that your
kidneys liver and urinary sVsteu arc
healthy, clean and normal, and all
danger passed.
Accept only Pape's Diuretic-fifty-
cent treatment-from any drug store
anywhere in the world.
