'sWIIl you kindly tell me the secret of your success?'' asked the young man fresh from the fields of Jersey
 T will" replied the head of the Pe- troieum Monopoly. T have always made it a rule to be civil to the peo- pie with whom I dealt. I have prac- tice6 friendlineSs and affability until it is as natural for me to be genial as it is for the sun to shine. Starting with carload of pipe, back in 1875, I made myself master of every oil well in the country simply by treating peo- pie with courtesy. I hope you will profit by my example. Now you must excuse me for I am expected at a meeting of our rebate department"
 The young man went around the cor ner TO the offices of the Iron Octopus.
 What is the secret of your suc- cess ?' he asked the president
 T owe my success to the fact that I do not allow small obstacles to dis courage me-" the great man answered. "Wheneyer I find a weak competitor in the way I never let the disappoint- ment make me blue or alter my resolve to climb to the top. You will find cheerful determination a great help to you, my boy"

RELATION OF ALCOHOL TO
 CRIME.

When the Episcopalians of Illinois appointed committee to investigate the relation % the drinking habit to disease end crime, it did a service to the sane and sober thinkers among men.
 Among the things this committee found out were the fact that 90 per cent of the inmates of the asylum for the criminal insane at Menard. H., and S5 per cent of those in the penitentiary at Joliet, are there as the result of alcoholic liquors, either di- rectly or indirectly.
 Investigations made by medical ex- perts show that over 25 per cent. of the patients in the insane asylums of the entire country are insane directly or indirectly as the result of the use of intoxicating liquors.
 The superintendent of the St. Charles school for boys asserts that almost every boy there has been de- moralized to a considerable extent by the influence of liquor. and has either patronized the saloons himself, or is the child of parents who have done so.
 The matron of the Geneva home for girls states it as her conviction that if the saloons in Illinois and adjacent states were done away with, the home could in time be closed. A large ma jority of the inmates of the home are girls born of drunken parents.
 At the state reformatory at Pontiac. PSI boys out of 1.050 were users of liquor. and in Al cases the fathers of the boys drank liquor to excess.
 Twenty per cent of the HOO insane patients at Cunning are there as the result of the excessive use of alcohol, while at the poorhouse it is estimated that 95 per cent of the men and 59 per cent. of the women. and in the con- sumptive ward 94 per cent. of the men and g per cent. of the women have been users of alcohol either in excess or moderately; and the report of the house of correction, Chicago, for 1908, is even more startling than this, show ing that out of 12,427 commitments, S,763 were for breach of the peace" or, in the words of Superintendent Whitman, drunk and disorderly.' Superintendent Whitman estimates that 75 per cent. of the 1900 inmates are there directly or indirectly due to the influence of the saloon.
 The saloons of Chicago are open twenty hours each day and seven days each week. Every year s.763 men, women and boys go to the house of correction. forming a procession of more lhdn one every hour that the saloons are open throughout the year.
 It is estimated that there are 160, ,00O epileptics in the United States alone, and that 32,0o0 of the persons so af- flicted owe their disease to drunken parents.
 The committee reported that the tes- timony of these men in authority at the public institutions of the state of Illinois and elsewhere is testimony which cannot be overlooked or ignored by reasonable Christian men.

She Stayed as Lona as Possible.

During the progress of a big pro tracted meeting for which the south is famous an ardent sister of the church who usually came in an old fashioned blackboard drawn by the family horse was late for d particular ly important service and was being severely censured by the pastor.
 ExpIa ming the reason for being late, the good sister said that the horse had taken fright at a passing train and bolted and that the wreck of the rig had prevented her from being on time.
 My dear sister, such little things should not make you late for divine services. You should trust in the Lord.
 Well, brother" she replied and there was d look of calm peacefuIness till the bellyband busted and then I had to 1ump."

Aforementioned Jsr.eys.

In the Press of Thursday was the story of a shipment of thoroughbred Jersey cattle from Bristol ito the famous Hood farm in Worcester, Mass. It came as surprise to most people that this section was producing some of the best stock in the country in the dairy and butter line. But it is a fact. There are a number of breeders hereabouts who has been raising superior stock for years. and are rec ognized as producers of thoroughbreds. Some of the cows have remarkable milk and butter records. No better confirmation of these statements is needed than the fact that critical and prominent buyers cone here for their stock Bristol's fame is chiefly that of a live manufacturing town. but it is well to realize that her agricultural interests are important and that many of her farmers and dairynlen are very able, progressive men with enviable regulations that reach far-Bristol Press.

Advantages of Winter.

An old fashioned winter has it's ad- vantages and disadvantages. If these were enumerated in. parallel columns 1t is probable that the advantages would lead by a large majority. In a winter like the present the ground is usually frozen to the depth of few inches in November and thereafter the snowfall keeps a blanket over the earth which prevents the frost from creeping downward inch by inch until it reaches a depth of four or five feet. It keeps all plant life at the surface of the soil in a perfectly dormant state, but does not completely suspend the function Of deep lying roots.
 A continual covering of ice and snow Tn the cities keeps the litter and filth of the street from being dried and fine ly powdered and carried about by every passing breeze. This is one of the most common sources of colds, infiu- enza, grip, infections of the nose and it's labyrinthine sinuses and the throat, middle ear and respiratory passages in general. Such affections have been less general this year than in several pre- ceding seasons. Steady cold, although very trying to the old and to people of subnormal vital energies, is in reality much better than alternating warm spells and zero pinches, for the latter conditions invite indiscretions in dress.

DEALING WITH MoRs.

The way in which Philadelphia is dealing with the mob is a disgrace to free government.
 The recklessness on the part of irre- sponsible men in the crowd should not lead to recklessness on the part of the authorities. The running of a car back over the trolley line filled with armed men to fire into the crowds re- gardless of their guilt. is no more cornmendable than the storming of cars filed with innocent passengers who are injured by the flying missiles and broken glass
 The men who represent the police or military power should not quibble as to their duty. or hesitate to obey orders when law and order are being defied and innocent people are becom- ing the victims of disorder and ill-di- rected vengeance.
 There is a remedy for all the ills now menacing the peace and good or der of the city of Philadelphia, and there is no defence for the destruction of property and the filling of the hos pitals with injured innocents. Vio- lence must be put a stop to by firm action. It does not do to ask the rioters if they will not please stop rioting. for that so smacks of the mol lycoddle style of doing things that the world must laugh-it makes a farce of the whole matter.
 Every known means to detect the isaders in lawlessness and violence should be made, and when caught in the work they should be summarily dealt with. There is nothing that will cheek ira tiouaI and unjust conduct like coura seous and decisive action.
 The Philadelphia papers are right hot vii ie- fn1 great to pay for good order," Law must be respected, and every citizen who would invoke protection to life and property must be loyal to the laws and those who have been appointed to enforce them

Thex Cannot Stay.

From time to time various colonies of Jews have actually returned to the Holy Land. There are records of Jew ish settlements there as early as 1170 ard in the 18th century tthe city of Tiberias, where only Jews were to until comparatively modern colonies began. In 1878 the ideas of Laurence OIiphant and the Earl of Shaftesbury took definite shape in the purchase of TOO acres Of land by the Jews of Je- rusalem and the foundation of tho colony of Petah Tikwah After the Rus sian persecution of 1881 large numbers of Jews emigrated and at the end of 1898 there were about 5000 Jewish colonists in Palestine

Illinois for the Income Tax.

The opponents of the income tax in the eastern states have been watching the Illinois legislature with solicitude. That was because, as Boston paper recently said: Illinois is in so many respects pivotal as the. great state of the Mississippi valley" Now that IT. linois has spoken, in a practically unanimous vote of its legislature, we hope there is no rooom for doubt as to what the other states of the Mississippi valley will do.
 Now 1t is the turn of New York to declare itself If Gov. Hughes argu- ment against the amendment had been unanswered the legislature would have voted against it and given his argu- ment as reason It has been puivef- ized, first by Senator Borah and now by Senator Root But the opposition to the income tax amendment in New York did not originate in baseless fear of the taxation of income derived from state and municipal securities It is due to the fact that the concentrat- ed wealth of New York city would con- tribute more under an income tax which was not apportioned on a basis
 Senator Root rebukes that selfish and unpatriotic spirit. He tells the New Workers something they are too apt to overlook It is that ''the incomes Of New York are in a great measure de- rived from the country at large We have the wealth." he says, because behind the city stands the country. We ought to be Willing 10 snare the Dur- dens of a national government in the same proportion in which we share it's benefits"
 This applies to Massachusetts, Con- necticut and some other eastern states which 1t has been assumed would vote against ratification, almost as forcibly as it does to New York; If the New York legislature shall be governed by the arguments of Senator Root and not by the influence of aggregated wealth dreading the possibility of just taxa ton. neighboring states may be affect ed likewise. If so the constitutional amendment would have more than enough Votes.-Chicago Tribune.

WANT DEATH PENALTY RE-
 STORED

The experience of Rhode Island shows that the abolishment of the death penalty does not decrease the number of murders in that state but that it does largely increase the ex- pense of maintenance of penal insti- tutions. Recent deliberate murders there have resulted in a measure be- ing put before the legislature proyid- ing for the restoration of the death penalty. This has led to a general discussion of the matter, and the Bos- ton Transcript had this to say upon the subject:
 During the year ending May S1. 1900, according to the last national census, the state of Maine, which has abolished capital punishment. had, in proportion to population almost twice as many homicides as Massachusetts which retains that penalty. Rhode Island, the only other New England state which has abandoned the death penalty, had during the same year. on the same basis, almost two and a half times as many homicides as Massa- chusetts. Compared similarly with New Hampshire, which in 1900 had capital punishment intact, Maine had four and one-half times as many horn 1cldes; Rhode Island six and one-half times as many. Compared with Yer mont. Maine had twice as many homi- cides; Rhode Island almost three times IS many Compared with Connecticut. Maine had more than twice as many homicides; Rhode Island more than three times as many
 This is not very good showing in favor of the alleged more humane plan; and those who support the abol- isfment of the penalty do not see that there are some things which may be worse than death. Just what the dutv Of the state is in the premises is not easy to decide, and it is not surprising that the tendency is to favor the ex- ecution of convicts guilty of capital crimes

Your Money Back II You are Not
Satisfied With the Medicine We
Recommend

We are so positive that our rem
edy will permanently relieye consti-
patton no matter how chronic it may
be. that we offer to furnish the medi-
cine at our expense should ii fail to
produce satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useles to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. LaNatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides. their use becomes
a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weak
nes of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them to
healthier activity.
The discovery of the active prin
ciple of our remedy involved the lab
chemists. AS an active agent it pos
sesses the valuable qualities of the
best known intestinal tonics as we'll
as being particularly pleasant and
prompt in its results.
We want you to try ReNall Order
lies on our recommendation They
are exceedingly pleasant to take, be-
ing eaten like candy, and are ideal
for children, delicate persons and old
folks, as we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of the bowels. They apparently
have neutral action on other asso-
ciate organs or glands. They do not
purge. cause excessive looseness nor
create any inconvenience whatever.
They may be taken at any time, day
or night. They will positively re-

tion, if not of surgical variety, and
