Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator Rob
ert M. La Toilette, arch enemy OF
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, is report
ed to have filed claim on the latter's
seat, which becomes vacant when AL
drich retires to private life.
There is no fixed routine of distrt
button of senate seats. When they
become vacant they go to the first
senator who has filed claim upon
them.
La Toilette has been in the "Chero-
kee strip" on the Democratic side OF
the senate ever since his election six
years ago and he has let opportunity
after opportunity slip to file upon
Republican seat.
But now that his chief foe has
fallen he is declared to have jumped
at the chance of sitting in the seat o1
the former mighty one when the Sixty
second congress is called to order.

A HINT TO MOTHERS.

If you wish to cultivate gossiplng,
meddling, censorious spirit in your
children, be sure, when they come
home from church, visit or any place
to which you do not accompany them
to ply them with questions concerning
what everybody wore, how everybody
looked, and what everybody said and
did; and if you find anything in all
this to censure always do it in their
hearing. You may rest assured If you
pursue course of this kind, they will
not return to you unladen with intel
ligence; and, rather than it should be
uninteresting, they will by degrees
learn TO embellish in such manner as
shall not fail to call forth remarks and
expressions of wonder from you. You
will by this course render a spirit of
curiosity-which is early visible in
children and which, if rightly directed,
may be made the instrument of en-
riching and charging their minds

The growth of national expenditures

has been due to the policy Of imperial

This country, 50 geographically Ioca-

much, or more, for the development

| A farmer from Wayback, Pa, carried

price for the world. Taking the price
Of 100 bushels, he went to Cheapside
to buy 100 yards of English cloth.

who was at the market said to him:
"Why not be patriotic? Buy OF me at

"True, " replied the tariff beneficiary

"Why that would be robbery
Nonsense" said the wooden man.
Don't be d;srespectful to the law
That is our policy Of protection to

"Aldrich understands it," said the

not any longer discuss the tariff,
though he understands everything else
under the sun. 1t is not necessary or
indeed, desirable that the working

only make trouble. All they need to

THE POPULAR IDEA
OF MARRIAGE.

1t is certain that the society man of
today marries woman who makes his
home restful place from which he is
seldom tempted to wander. Why
should he? The sunniest, brightest
room in the house is his sanctum; here
are his favorite books, pictures he
likes, the latest magazines with leaves
cut and no end of pipes. When the
train whistles into the depot, in which
is this fortunate man, fire is started
on the low hearth to make the room
cheerful, although the warmth is not
needed. To this room he brings his
friends and here husband and wife sit
when alone. Everything that will help
the wife to make home means of
grace she reads, on her table are al
ways to be found books and magazines
that talk of the higher life of the home.
We mean good cooking when we say
higher life, a hitherto much neglected
part of religion. This man, formerly
out every evening, rarely goes to the
theater or opera, or ball, because his
home has greater attraction and he is
really now so sensible, well-informed,
and amounting to something that his
friends are rejoiced that the seemingly
incongruous marriage came about.

Examples Of this kind are infrcquent,
Most of the men who hold high Offices
seem TO feel it incumbent TO multiply
words on all occasions where it becomes
necessary TO inditc an official letter. The
messages Of governors and presidents

Of our present-day statesmen could

with some Instructions or gentle

We have heard much during the
past year of DR.. Morneau's treatment.
What kind of doctor is he? And
where is he? Are the questions that
people all over the country are ask
ing
That French DR.. is man Of science
and has n great power of conviction
from which he derives his miraculous
cures.
His works are wonders and his
numerous cures are drawing the people
from different parts Of the state.
A visit to his Office will convince you
that a young girl of New London, Miss
Emma Haase, II years DID, paralyzed
for the last three years, left her two
clutches at her second visit.
Also an old man of this city left his
crutches Chat he had used for the last
six years. crippled with rheumatism.
Another remarkable case is that of a
young man (his name can be given if
desired) who for the last year could
see himself going down every day to-
wards his grave with the terrible
disease consumption. Now he is the
picture of health.
Mr.. Alfred Hitler, farmer of Green
Vile, had been suffering with stomach
and liver trouble for three years. He
was a regular nervous wreck, a dis
couraged man, did not believe any
more in doctors for he had seen so
many in vain. Now this young man
gained % pounds in three months and
works hard every day.
