WAYSIDE NOTES.

An enterprising clergyman in Phila.
delphia advertises his eagerness to
supply ready-made sermons to those
who need them. His Gil cular con-
tains the titles of several of the SER
mons, some of which are sold as low
as three dollars each.
A Colorado inventor has secured a
patent on an electric fashlight to be
used on small arms, even pocket pls-
tolls. Wherever the searchlighr
strikes there the bullet hits, making
the taking of aim unnecessary. This
pistol method was devised by the in
ventor for policemen to use on bur-
glars and other night desperadoes.
The union working women of Bos-
ton have organized a choral society
for the purpose of singing labor songs
in meetings. Many excellent voices
have been discovered and so much in
terest is being taken in the work that
the chorus may embark upon a more
extensive program than sounding the
praises of labor in song.
The Schenectady Union is authority
for the assurance that a certain
Texas man offers to pay good price
for deas. Our condemnation cannot
be too severe for one who would rob
a poor dog of his best friends.
David Harum tells us that "fieas is
good for dog; they keep him from
worrying about being a dog" And
We quite agree with David.

Having thus advised-she says that

NEW YORK GRAND JURY MAKES
SIGNIFICANT DEMAND FOR

COMPEL PRODUCTION OF
AGREEMENTS.


New York, March 4.Not satisfied
with the millions received in the pay
ment of the duty evaded by short
weights, involving the Indictment of
the connpany's secretary, Charles X.
Heike, and the conviction of minor
employees, the United States govern
ment is still fighting hard to convict
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany under the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust act. Such action
was contemplated when the company
was indicted for putting the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining company out Of
business but the settlement Of that
suit out Of court and the interference
of the statute of limitations necessl-
tated another legal tack and the mat
ter was laid before the federal grand
jury In New York early in January.
Not until yesterday, however, did
the scope of the inquiry become pub
lie, when the grand jury handed up
its presentHent for contempt against
the company for the latter's failure
to produce certain books and papers
in response to q subpoenae.
It has been alleged that the Amer

rapidly growing country demanded
the full facilities Of their roads to
move the passenger traffic and the
urgently insistent congestion of man
ufactured goods that p,ust go speed
lily to market. Thus the raw material
came to be diverted largely to the
water and the barge became one OF
the cardinal factors in determining
the success of the project
The managerial lead pencil again
figured. This time it got the result
that if but one-half of the traffic that
rounds the Cape took to faster and
more peaceful canal route the tolls
would pay dividends upon the $12,-
100000 of capitalization required for
the work.
Many men of prominence began to
take an interest in the task. Among
them was Robert Bacon, formerly as.

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys. filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not beus6t he will return

gives delight and inspiration. The
little gardens about laborers' cot
tages. where the few flowers mean SO
much to the man or woman who cares
for them il moments before or after
a long days toll, touch the heart as
no great gardens can, however COM
pIete with all that nature and art
combined are able to accomplish.
Every lover of flowers has her own
ideas upon the subject of gardening.
My ideal garden is one little dis
lance from the house and so sur
rounded by trees and enclosed by
hedges that the windows of the house
cannot look down upon it. A lovely
oht-of7doors room, as it were, neat and
orderly as the rooms of the house;
every plant brought to its highest de-
Velopment, and nature, trained by
man, giving constant and luxuriant
bloora; where the green setting OF
trees, hedges, box edging, and fine
turf, and the colors blending without
a jarring note, fill us with a sense OF
delight and thanksgiving for the
beauty of the spot. A place where
we may walk or talk, read or work
quite unobserved, with the sunshine
all around, yet seated in cool shade
the murmuring of falling water, to
gether with the exquisite notes of the
song sparrow Or the liquid call of the
cat-bird, in our ears.
Where can any place en- this earth
be found more exquisite and peace
full? Into such garden Maud may
have been called by her lover-and tc
such little paradise Solomon may
have referred in his Song of Songs

EKERN'S SUIT GOES TO
EAU CLAIRE COUNTY

La Crosse, Wis, March 4.-On the
ground that it would be impossible
to secure twelve men in Trempealeau
county who had not taken sides in a
Litter political fight in that county In
1908, Judge Higbee yesterday sent
the Ekern personal libel case to Eau
Claire for trial.
The case is scheduled to be tried
at the next term of circuit court be-
fore Judge Wickham.
Judge Higbee is himself incapac,-
tated from trying the case because he
was attorney for Ekern at the time
action was started. 1t is generally
believed here that the case will never
be tried.

The Amount Of Freiuht.

Scanning the situation at the Office
of Mr.. Belmont, it was estimated that
25,000,O00 tons of freight would go
through the canal each year. The
most remote guess at the time for
the final operation fixed the middle
of 1912 as the date for completion
So much for things about which
the New York financier and his aids
had done and thought up to the time
yesterday afternoon when they got
reports of real work being done and
of real dirt flying from the ditch.
Now the company is battling with
the ice to get its mammoth dredge
to work at the eastern terminus. Re-
buffed by the weather, the big dredge
was tied up at Plyomuth and steam
excavator that had been in process
of setting UP for more than month
began fighting the job from inside or
the sand dunes and the famous Sous
set Marshes, at point half mile
from the shores of Cape Cod Bay
Just as soon as the sand has been
cut the ~dredge will be towed to Sand
wich, and once started on her way
the big machine will never stop night
or day until she has ploughed her
way to Buzzard's Bay.
The excavator, now in use, is cut
ting the surface earth to the high
water mark. 1t weighs $50 tons and
it's long arm describes a complete
circle as it takes the excavated dirt,
swings it to the bank and then swings
merrily back for more of the land
that has for fifty years stood be-
tween men of the sea and dream
A light draught dredge has been put
to work in Tupper's Creek and she
will dig seaward until she has COM
pleted the passage through which
the Mackenzie is to go. All OF the
dredges and machinery are equipped
with electric searchlights for night
as we'll as day work. Other digging
machines are to- be erected along the
route as fast as possible.
All of the dredges on the Buz-
Yards bay side which have been deep
ening the, channel off Toby Island
have been towed to New Bedford TO
await the passing of the Ice, ASA !.
Bad luck has attended the con-
struction CT the sea wall that is to
serve as breakwater. A small Sec
ton that had been constructed last
fall was frightfully swept by the sea
during the storms of last week. 1t
settled into the water until there is
little trace of the early work, but
just as soon as the channel begins
to show progress the breakwater will
get attention and the entire three
thousand feet will be built
Sandwich, a little village at the
Barnstable bay side, has been won
derfully transformed from quiet
sea village into a lively town. 1t is
headquarters for the construction
companies on the work, and their
men and employees have given the
village the appearance of a western
mining town during a gold hunt.

Philadelphia Ledger-NicholaS
Longworth, representative from
Cincinnati district, a man of indie
pendent fortune, who is in politics
as a pastime, and who is known all
over the world because he is the hus-
band of Alice Roosevelt, is one OF
the striking figures in the house. He
is a tall. broad-shouldered, athletic
looking man, and dark complexioned
He spends much Of his time in the
oper air. Mr.. Longworth is not the
central figure he was when his
father-in-law was president, for then
women asked that he be pointed out
to them that they might pass upon
him. Usually he is very neat and
natty, but now and then he comes 10
the house rough and ready, as he
did the other day in a brown suit.
Longworth, unlike most very rich
young men, has brains and employs
them to good use. In politics he is
stalWart, and stood by Boss Cox, OF
Cincinnati, when all others fled.
Cox placed him in politics, and Long
worth is not an migrate. He is hale
fellow with the stalwarts, and the
insurgents are friendly to him.
There is talk of taking him as COM
promise candidate for Governor OF
Ohio in the hope that he can defeat
Judson Harmon. With his wife to
help him stump the state the cam
paign would surely be lively. Mr..
Longworth is student and partici.
pates in debates on financial subjects,
foreign affairs and corporation mat
tiers.

Taft yesterday issued a proclamation
extending to Austria Hungary the min.

the most complicated situations with
which the tariff experts have had to
deal. AustriaHungary for some time
has imposed on the importation OF
pork meats regulations which have
been irksome to American importers.
A prohibitory duty on cottonseed oil
also existed.
In the final agreement, Austria
agreed to waive the microscopic in
spection of pork meats and also take
such measures as were possible to
lower the duty on cottonseed oil. The
trade between the two nations is very
