cantalns Of the shark.

The Shark has had three captains,
and by the grace of God she shall have
no more. The first captain was SO Sc
nie as to be unable to give meas
urement for boom Jaw to carpenter,
So utterly agedly helpless was he, that
he was unable to order sailor to
throw a few buckets Of salt water on
the Sharks deck. For IL days, at
anchor, under an overhead tropic
sun, the deck lay dry. 1t was a new
deck. 1t cost me S135 to recalk It..
The second captain was angry He
was born angry. Papa Is always
angry" was the description given him
by his half-breed son. This captain re-
quired Is hours to bring the Shark
IL miles In spanking breeze. Also
he required quart Of whisky for the
same ~ miles The third captain was
so crooked that he couldn't hide be-
hind corkscrew. The truth was not
In him, common honesty was not In
him, and he was as far away from fair
play and square-dealing as he was
from his proper course when he nearly
wrecked the Shark on the Ringgold

Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service For People Who
Work In Cairo,


Most Cairo people work every DAY
in some strained. unnatural position
bending iconstantly over desk--rid-
ing on jolting wagons or cars---doing
laborious homework lifting, reaching
or pulling, or trying the back In a
hundred and one other ways All
these strains tend to wear, weaken
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
posons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs. Cairo cures
prove 1t.
Guy b. Perry, 2915 Commercial
Ave, Cairo, H., says: Il suffered
from weak back for some time and
sharp, shooting pains darted through
my loins when stopped. Hard work
or the contraction of a cold always
aggravated my trouble and was Ger
tain that my kidneys were disordered,
When / saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised, I procured box at Schulz
& Sons Drug Store and began their
use They acted just as represented
and in a short time had relieved me.
Another member OF my family has
also taken this remedy with great

pines"
That sounds unpromising for the
Hale succession to the Aldrich toga,
Who next? They talk of Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, No word
can be said against Lodges loyalty to
the powers that be in the Republican
party A close friend and devotee of
Roosevelt, he disagreed with him on
the nomination OF Taft and would
have defeated II If possible. But with
the admirable discipline OF the old.
time Republicans he accepted the
nominee and has been close to the
White House ever since.
Lodge comes from an ancient Mas
sachusetts family; Is proud of revo-
lutionary ancestry But shudder to
think what he would do to John
Adams If that historic insurgent were
alive and insurging against the estab-
lished government today. With base
ingratitude the Republicans Of Massa-
chusetts are casting about for can
didate with whom to retire Lodge,
I'm told Governor Curtis Guild could
do 1t easily. Probably, however, a
| gentleman with coolies of money and
| two names well-4though not alto
! gether favorably-known to American
history, Butler Ames will be his chief
adversary The times are troublous
| for Lodge and he Is giving more
| thought to getting back to the senate
than to succeeding to its leadership.
Then they talk Of Kean of New Jer-
sey, He has been one of Aldrich's
lieutenants In the senate entrusted
with the important duty of saying
I" 'Biect" to everything that may af-
| feet the Aldrich program. AS an
orator Kean has won no spurs; as a
| careful guardian OF an Aldrich meas
ure on its way to enactment he has
shown skill and devotion. But Kean,
too, has a fight on in his state, with a
fair chance of losing it.
Go through the list Of those who
! stood on either side Of Aldrich and
their names suggest either fight for
! reelection or inability to control the
senate as Aldrich, the chief Of all po-
| litical traders, has controlled it.
I Warren Of Wyoming-too far west !;
tom" Carter OF Montana, too light
and good humored for leader; Reed
Smoot OF Utah. the real grubbing stu
dent at Aldrichs elbow during the
tariff debate-well, Mormon apostle
should hardly be the leader of the
senate. And so 1t goes. Added to the
difficulty Of selecting leader from
among the orthodox Is the covert hos
tility of the band Of insurgents--Cum
| Minis, Dolliver. Beverage, I.aFollette
Clapp, Bristow, Nelson and sometimes
i Borah, Burkett and Dixon.
SO 1t is no wonder that they ash
after Aldrich, WHAT" and that those
who have enjoyed power and place
under him are begging him to sta!
yet another term. For the probable
leader in the senate watch Murra,
Crane, the quiet, tactful. always ap
proachable junior senator from Massa
chusetts.

he lived with his niece, Mrs. Ella Mack

Organization Captain H~igginson be-
longed. as we'll as the veterans of the

time In the Thirty-third New Jersey
Regiment, and was widely known in
Newark as cap" Higginson.
After the wal he served many years

LITTLE DOGGIE PUTS
BURGLAR TO FLIGHT,

A little wooley dog, apparently as
harmless as a wax figure, proved an
excellent guardian of the property Of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. Standist when bur
glars attempted to- force an entrance
to their home last night. The name
of the dog does not appear in the re-
port of the case which the Standist
family made to the police, but Fido, or
whatever he Is called, stood his ground
like a little major when he heard a
noise at one of the rear windows, and
when Mr.. and Mrs. Standist, awakened
by their pets shrill barking, looked
from an upper window they saw a
shadowy form vaulting with great
haste over the back fence.

Militia Order Questioned.
The determination of the ~Sixty-fifth

comment in view of the regulations OF
