The Growing of Kings.

King George is particularly anxious
that his coronation ceremonies next
June should be free from any untoward
incident which might be construed as
ominous. This is not alone because he
himself, like all members of his house,
is imbued with a certain amount of
superstition, but it is likewise because
he is thoroughly aware that popular
confidence in himself and his reign will
be shaken in the event of any occur
ence at the coronation which could be
construed jas portending evil.
The coronation OF Queen victoria
and King Edward were remarkably
free from anything that could be look
ed upon by the people as bad omen,
though the fact that the coronation OF
King Edward had to be postponed on
account OF the illness with which the
monarch was suddenly stricken led
many persons to predict that his reign
would he short.
At the coronation of George ". the
Marquis Of Anglesey. officiating as the
lord high steward. while carrying the
crown 10 the altar let it slip from his
hands When George III was installed
on the throne, Lord Effingham, master
of ceremonies, forgot to provide the
sword and canopy for the banquet. At
the coronation of George II. the dean
of Westminster forgot the chalice and
paten, and at the coronation of the i'll
fated King James ]. the communion
service was ommitted.
At the coronation of Charles l. the
wing of the dove on Edward the Con-
fessor's scepter was broken off acct
dentally And the bishop of Carlisle,
in preaching the coronation sermon,
selected as his text, Il will give thee
crown of life" a text which put
everybody in mind of the funeral SER
vice, in which it so frequently figures.
1t may be remembered that King
Charles lost his head on the scaffold.
1t is also well to remember, in read
ing of these prophecies of doom, that
such incidents are seldom thought of
until an untoward Incident has occur
ed. Then the superstitious mind seeks
some occurrence 10 serve the purpose
of an omen, a thing not hard to find,
since almost every occasion is at
tended by some unfortunate accident.

The Argus Daily Short Story
A Shrewd Girl-By Ehnor Stewart Cation.
Copyrighted. 1870 by Associated Literary Press.

There is a point on the Connecticut
sound called Sachem's Head. the name
probably having been derived from
some connection an Indian chief for
merry had with the place. The shore
is divided between rocks and beaches,
backed by part low and part high or
rather rolling ground. On the east
side of the head. not far from the
point, in the year 1850 stood the
house of n farmer. John Cromwell.
One autumn dav Cromwell was sit
ting on his porch smoking his pipe
when he discovered out on the sound
n boat being rowed toward the shore
Today that region is full of boats Of
all kinds, bu5 then they were a rarity.
The farmer watched the oars alter
natoly disappear and fash in the sun
light till the boat entered the little
cove before his house and ran its nose
up on the beach. Then a man jump
ed out. pulled IT farther up and ad
vGuced toward Cromwell.
The stranger was young and comely,
but rather siu=uiarly dressed. His
hat WIS big and pointed in the crown.
his coat was short and flaring below,
his brooches and his shoes were orna-
mented with large silver buckles, his
hose were 4 dark REQ. while his waist
was cnCircIcd hy n wide belt claSpcd

pistols of an c.ghteC1th century pat
tern. In short, his appearance smack
Cd Of piracy.
"IIave I struck sachcms Head?"
asked the younc man.
That's what they call it," replied
tic farmer.
The young man looked about him as
if trying to get his bearings. Present
l. he spoke again:
"TcC wouilr', mind letting me stay
with you awhile, would you? 1 can

"N'hcrc did you come from?'

Before and After.

Colonel Roosevelt made an error in
the date of his oratorical effort in Mas
sachusetts to secure the election of
Henry Cabot Lodge'to congress which
is of more significance than may ap-
pear. He said it was 26 years ago
But it was "a years ago that Mr.. Lodge
was elected to congress. &c years ago
he was very Independent and low tariff
republican and stood no chance of get
ting political favors at thte hands of
his party. After the nomination of Mr.
Blaine, in 1884, Lodge made himself
regular by supporting the party ticket.
He dropped his independence and his
tariff reform notions, and revised his
ideas regarding the civil service to
meet the necessities of his party.
Then the party had plenty of honors
to bestow upon him. In 1856 it elect
ed him to congress and few years
later elected him senator.

The Republican Plague.

It's bad enough for Farmer Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture to
prophesy a plague of 17-year locusts
next year, but it is much more serious
when he goes on the stump to try and
perpetuate the swarm of republican
locusts that are eating up our sub
stance. Farmer Wilson is stand
patter, and breaches protection which
is plundering everybody through high
prices He is living in the dim past
when protective tariffs were supposed
to make us panic proof but since the
Roosevelt panic of 1907, from which the
country has not yet recovered, the re-
publican doctrine of protection has re-
ceived a setback from which 1t will
never rally.
The administration was afraid to
turn Farmer Wilson loose in the west
on account of his high tariff views, but
gave him free reign in New York,
much to the dismay of Roosevelt who
finds the tariff a ticlllish subject to
handle.

There is more catarrh in this sec.
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing TO cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Che
ney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer 800 for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.
