a historical Bible In taking their oaths
OF Office. and, each has retained tho

no claim on the Bible of his choice.
and 1t will go back to the archives Of
the court for which there are many
evidences Of reverent respect and a
lingering Of the fondness on the part

monies at the capitol direct to his

Prof Pickering says:
The discovery of the asteroId
Eros of the group whose mean dis

which 1t did not have previously. For
two or three years much useful work
was done by the naval observatory IN
following the asteroids found by Mr..
Metcalf, and 1t is hoped Its abandon
ment by the naval observatory IS crly
temporary. 1t is eminentlv 1tting
that such work should be carried on
by the government, as is done in Ger
many, since 1t cannot be maintained

Andrews and his friends cannot shift
responsibility for the defeat of the

the kidneys You will never get well.
Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove
uric acid, but cure the kidneys and

Mr.. Roosevelt, the present situation
in the house and upon the new ad-
ministration, said:
"Roosevelt narrowly escaped being
a great man, but his want Of SINGER
ity and earnestness made him really
one Of the greatest failures that mas
ever occupied the white house. As
the time approached for congress to
adjourn and the opportunity to show
Roosevelt in his true colors approach
ed T began to seriously consider
whether it was worth while -
Senator Tillman said that the ac-
ton Of the house Of representatives
and the senate committee on appro-
priations both charged Roosevelt with
falsehood, and that he himself chad
much evidence collected'' to prove
that he (Mr. Roosevelt) had no re-
gard for the truth.
"When I could have produced the
evidence,'' Mr.. Tillman continued,
II knew a lot of people would charge
me with being actuated by malice
and a desire for revenge, and there
fore my attitude would be discredlt-
ed. So I finally decided to leave him
alone.'
Speaking Of the ''insurgents'
movement in the house, Mr.. Tillman
said:
"I was surprised to learn Of the
bolters' venality and cowardlce.
What is needed is discipline. What
they ought to do is to behead these
men at the next election"
Of the Taft administration Mr..
TiElman said:
"Mr. Taft's administration is 60
ing to be like a calm after a storm.
He is a patriotic, just-minded, big
hearted man. He will be popular IN
every section of the country. He will
bring about an era Of good feeling.'
