The NOlce IN the ToE'
- UT of the unromantic night, out
of the somber blurring January
fog, came a voice lifted in song,
a soprano, rich, full and round, youns
yet matured, sweet and mysterious as
a night-bird's, haunting and elusive as
the murmur of the sea in a shell; a nlt
from La File de Madame Angot, a
light opera long since forgotten in New
York. Hillard, genuinely astonished'
lowered his pipe and listened. 10 SIT
dreaming by an open window, even IN
this unlovely first month Of the year
in that grim unhandsome city Which
boasts of it's rich and still accepts
with SNUG content its rows upon rows
of ugly architecture. to sit dreaming
then. of red tiled roofs, of cloud-ca-
ressed hills, of terraced vineyards, OF
cypresses in their dark aloofness, is not
o,t of the natural order of things, but
that into this idle and pleasant cream
there should enter so divine a voice,
living, feeling, pulsing, this was not
ordinary at all.
And Hillard was glad that the room
was in darkness. He rose eagerly ana
reered out. But he saw no one. Across
the street the arc-lamp burned dimiy,
like an opal in the matriX, while OF
architectural outlines not n renamed,
the fog having kindly obliterated them.
The Voice rose and sank and SCARED
again, drawing nearer and nearer. lt
was joyous and unrestrained, there
was youth in it, the touch OF sprins
and the breath of flowers. The music
was Lecocq's, that is to say, French;
but the tongue was of a country which
Hillard knew to be the garden OF the
world. Presently he observed a shadow
emerge from the yellow mist, to come
within the circle of light, which, faint
as it was, limned in against the Moth
ingness beyond the form of a woman.

Avoid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to
Cause Injury to the
Bowels

If you are subject to constipation, you
should avoid strong drugs and cathar-
tics. They only give temporary relief
and their reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than constipation.
They in no way effect a cure and their
tendency is to weaken the already weak
organs with which they come in con-
tact.
We honestlv believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever de-
vised. Our faith in 1t is SO rtrong that
we sell it on the positive guarantee that
1t shall not cost the user a cent If 1t

completely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called Rexall Orderlies.
These are prompt, soothing and most
effective in action. They are made of
a recent chemical discovery. Their
principal ingredient Is odorless. taste
less and colorless. Combined with other
" ell known ingredients, long established

constipation, it forms tablet which is
eaten just like candy. They may be
taken at any time. either day or night.

convenience whatever. They do not
grippe, purge nor cause nausea. They
act without causing any pain or Excess
sive looseness of the bowels. They are
ideal for chil5ren. weak delicate per-
sc ms and aged people as well as for the

HE'S after THAT CUP.
Sir Thomas Upton Lands in New York
With q Challenge.

New York. Oct. 25.-"I come over
this time red hot for another chal-
lenge to the New York Yacht club,
and will do my best to arrange mat
tiers with the club so that I can have
another chance to lift the American
cup
So spoke Sir Thomas Upton today
on his arrival here from Europe. He
will be in New York several days
II do not care to talk more definite
ly," Sir Thomas said, until I have
seen the yacht club committee, who
will have this matter in charge"
It is believed Sir Thomas has
brought with him a challenge condi-
toned upon modification of the rules
governing contests for the America
cup. Sir Thomas desires the club to
change the present rule so that he
can bring over a Shamrock ", built
under rules which will permit the
construction of a substantial racing
craft.
The present rule governing the
Americas cup races provides only for
a given water line length and under
this condition fragile racing machines
were developed.
Sir Thomas expects to meet men,
bers of the New York Yacht club
within a few days.

TAFT'S VOICE FAILS.
Able Only to Make q Short Talk at
Terrell, Texas.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct 25-Presi-
dent Taft left Texas Sunday afternoon
after passing nine days in that state.

1,165 more and when the president
leaves New Orleans November 1, he
VIII be within easy striking distance
OF home, being scheduled to arrive in
Washington the night of November 10.
In reality, however, the presidents
travels FOR 1903 will not end until No
vember 81 for he has engagements at
Middletown. Conn.,. November IL, at
Va. November 10 and at Hampton,
Va. November 30. Mr.. Taft's voice
sunday had shown no improvement
over The previous day and after he had
made few addresses in Texas and
Arkansas, was almost completely gone.
The presidents physician was at work
on the executive vocal chords in the
hope # having them in some sort of
shape for the auditorium speech In St
Louis. There is little hope for perma-
three or four days.
The presidents train developed a.
full fledged mystery during the day.
Railroad detectives, special police and
notwithstanding. somebody stole the
presidents possum. 1t happened at
Dallas, where it seemed as though
there were at least a million police
men, special officers, plain clothes
men, deputies and militiamen on
guard. and the authorities there were
inclined to charge it up as another
''black hand outrage. Through some
psychological phenomenon the presi-
dents desires and the loss at Dallas
travelled ahead of his train and when
it arrived at Long View at noon an
other possum, all dressed for cooking
was put aboard. Consequently Mr.
Taft's possum dinner was not post
poned.
The president left Dallas at o'clock
and during the day stopped at Forney
Terrell, Wills Point. Long View and
Marshall before crossing the Texas line
at Texarkana, where the train was
halted partly in Texas and partly in
Arkansas.
There was an immense crowd at
Texarkana, but the presidents voice
had so far gone from his earlier at
tempts to speak that he could only
say a word or two in appreciation of
his welcome. The train arrived in Lit
| tie Rock shortly after o'clock last
night and left for st. Louis ten min
utes later: The presidents voice had
somewhat improved and he spoke
briefly there. He also spoke a few
| words to throngs at Arkadelphia and
Benton, Ark

forcing Orders of Railroad Commits
sions;" Grade Crossing and Tres
passing on Railroads"
Deaths OH Grades.
The committee on grade crossings
has prepared an exhaustive report
which is signed by William J. Wood
commissioner of Indiana, as chairman.
The committee strongly advocates the
abolition of all grades crossings in the
United States and urges all the state
commissions to take the matter up at
once. Interesting statistics are given
relative to the slaughter and manning
of human beings on grade crossings
and it is declared to be the browning
disgrace of the present age. The COM
mfttee, however, does not advocate
mandatory legislation, which shall com.
pei the railroads to eliminate all their
grade crossings at once. irrespective OF
the expense On the other hand, 1t is
urged that each state commission take
the matter up with a view to working
it out as 1t seems best, in view of the
conditions which pertain in each par
ticular state.
Strangely enough, the committee
does not advocate the railroads paying
all the expenses, but it is believed to be
equitable that the municipalities. this
state and the county organizations
should bear a portion of the expenses.
