ANOTHER ECHO.

Fo,mar Senator William E. Ohand-
Il, NJ Neg Hampshire, has wriItsn o
io,t.r n s ,ustor Thomas 8. Martin urg-
iog him aud his colleagues to support
the movement for the return OF the Viz
sinis portion Of the Distric! OF Columbia
10 become part Of Washington. Mr..
Chandler says:
"ThIs letter takes the form Of an appeal
t, VirgipisDs. 1t is sincere. | first saw
the Capital City In 1855, coming north
from Richmond. 1t looked insigoi6cant.
OotsIde a few pu 5lic bulldogs 1t was In
significant, physically. A citS of msg'
pi6ceDt distances, with hardly one 6oe
residence; no wonder that 20 yeals be-
fore that day the Virginia portion across
toe Potomac seemed likely never 10 be
wanted ss 8 useful pant Of the capital.
Yet what change has come, which we
all npE clearly see. Washington wants
its early portion of Virginis's soil. The
nation wants 1t ss part Of Wsshipgton's
municipality. Virginia loses nothing by
the re.iotation, but makes great gallo.
She will still surround the soil, see 1t de-
yeloped aud beauti6ed as the nations
splendid metropolis, born from Virginia's
substance aud shining as Virginia's star.
II this domain had never been part Of
Washington, tu. the nation now wanted
IT to be added to Washington, would net
Virginia 1yiully give ~ Much more
THAI this t would give. So | entreat
Virginiaus with one scc0rl TO come for
wsrd and make to the nat on gift
which will stilI remain, 10 high sense,
a bright jewel in tho crown Of the Old
DOmluiOn."
II former SsastOr Ohsuder regards
his time IS vslu ,ble he had better devote
1t to something else. Sending letters to
Senator Martin asking his sid Ia suy
movement to iuriher despOil Virginia OF
her territory will meet with about IS
much success IS q proposition to Eng
land to rellDquish Gibraltar. A few
months sgo Senator Bailey ct banquet
10 this eity said "rom Martin talks
less and works more than any man 10
the Seuste, II the retrocesslon plan ever

upon 1t go tight that It will become her

Why He Lauqhed.

Miss Matte belonged to the old
south, and she was entertaining a
guest of distinction.
On the morning following his arrival
she told Tillie, the little colored maid,
to take pitcher Of fresh water to
Mr. Firman's room, and to say that
Miss Matte sent him her compliments,
and that If he wanted a bath, the
bathroom was at his service.
When Tillie returned she said:
Il tol him, Miss Matte. en- he
laughed fit to bus hisself."
Why did he laugh, Tillie?"
II dunno"
What did you tell him?"
Jus what you toll me to-"
"Tillie. tell me exactly what you
said"
II banged de doah, and I said, Mr..
Ffrman, Miss Matte sends you her lub,
and she says, Now you can get UP
and wash elf!"-Lippincott's Mag.

law Of afinity. all things needed to manufac-
ture the elixir of life."
Further on he says: "Ths beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
pie, and In molecular form, exactly nature
furnishes II In vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply denciencies--this is the only law Of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that IL Phosphate
Of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
It. you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied
On the contrary. II you eat food known to
be rich In this element. you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
In the trial sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years OF re-
search In this country and some clinics OF
Europe, regarding the effect Of the mind on
digestion of food.
But we must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work we'll ON a brain that is
broken down by lack OF nourishment
peaceful and evenly poised mind is noces-
sary to good digestion.
Worry. anxiety. fear. hate. &C., &C.. directly
interfere with or stop the fow of Ptyalin. the
digestive juice Of the mouth, and also inter-
fere with the flow Of the digestive juices OF
stomach and pancreas.
Therefore. the mental state OF the individual
has much to do (mors than suspectsd) with
digestion. n

Exagqeration.

On her arrival in New York Nine.
Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compli.
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret of my youth? 1t
is the good God-and then, you know,
I work all the time. But l am a
great-grandmother," she continued,
thoughtfully, so how can these many
compliments be true? am afraid my
friends are exaggerating."
Nine. Bernhardt's laugh, spontane-
GUS as a girls, prompted chorus of
mo, mol"
YES" said the actress, "uncon-
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule-
wards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know. and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug.
gested.
'Her little charge, a boy of six
begged her to stop while in a crowd
surrounding an automobile accident
Please wait the little boy said. Want
to see the man who was run over
No; hurry his nurse answered
There will be plenty more to see

Our Voices,

/ think our conversational soprano,
as sometimes overheard in the cars.
arising from group of young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great industrial centers, for in
stance. young persons of the female
sex. we will say, who have hustled in
full dressed, engaged in loud, strident
speech, and who, after free discussion,
have fixed on two or more double
seats, which having secured, they pro-
ceed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes-I say, / think the
conversational soprano, heard under
these circumstances, would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put in requisition were he get
ting up new temptation of st. An
thony.
There are sweet voices among us,
we all know, and voices not musical,
1t may be, to those who hear them
for the first time. yet sweeter to US
than anv we shall hear until we listen
to some warbling angel in the over
ture to that eternity of blissful har~
monies we hope to enjoy. But why
should tell lies? II my friends love
me, 1t Is because i try to tell the
truth. l never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their
sweetness.-Holmes
