Pain in

For two years I had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
Could not draw deep breath
or lie on left side, and any little
exertion would cause palpita-
ton. Under advice I took
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy and
Nervine. I took about thirteen
bottles, am in better health than
I ever was, and have gained II
pounds"
MRS. LILLE THOMAS,
Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
For many years DR.. Miles
Heart Remedy has been very
successful in the treatment Of
heart troubles, because of its
tonic effect upon the heart
nerves and muscles. Even in
severe cases of long standing it
has frequently prolonged life for
many years after doctors had
given up all hope, as proven by
thousands of letters we have re-
ceived from grateful people.
Or. Miles, Heart Remedy is sold by all
druqQists. II the first bottle fails to
benefit, your druggist will return your
money.

A Man of Straw,

Many years ago in England men
could easily be found to give any evil
dence upon oath that might be re-
quired. and some Of these persons
walked openly in Westminster hall
with a straw in one of their shoes to
signify they wanted employment as
witnesses. This was the origin Of the
saying. He Is a man Of straw" But
the custom has high antiquity. A
writer in the Quarterly Review says
that such were common in Greece.

GAYLORD YOST'S
VIOLIN VALUED AT S3OOO-WTTH LEE
CONCERT COMPANY.

There are many romances connect
ed with violins and this is due to the
fact that they have been handed
down from age to age. otentimes
valuable violins are strangely found
packed away in some remote garrett
or again in the hands of one who
little realizes their value. Abandon
ed at one time by some violinist, they
lay years waiting to breathe forth
the soul of some artist, who may
chance to find them. What a story
they might tell US if they could only
talk! Alas, we are left to imagine.
The story of Yost's violin is best
told in his own words: Zone day in
Berlin : says the young artist, '' as
| came out of one of the music stores
couple of Gypsies stopped me q
suppose they thought l was a violin
ist.) They had at least a half dozen
violins caught up loosely by the necks;
some were stringless, cracked and
dirty. They asked me If | wanted
to buy n violin CHEAP and | replied
that was always looking for good
violins. Meanwhile | had scanned
over the violinS and had observed one
with very artistic lines and workman
ship, good yarniSh but in bad repair.
| asked them how much they wanted
for them and was told 100 marks
ESQ., Of course couldn't try the
violin in the streets, so gave my
card and told them to call that after
noon and at the appointed time they
called. As soon as | placed the bow
on the strings, Irealized what it was.
As | hadn't enough money about
me at that time, l borrowed the
amount from a friend after finally
succeeding in getting the violin for
10 marks (S9.75.) Well, l guess it
was cheap. Would sellit: well,

BIG DEFICIT LAST YEAR.

Secretary MacVeagh's estimate of a
deficiency sS4,o SEQ in the ordin-
airy receipts of the Government for. the
fiscal year 1910, made in his annual
report in December, will be increased
by several millions if the rate kept up
during the first eight months of the

fcieney in the ordinary receipst during
1910 is $24, 6O4, las against $685.

period ofl9o9.
Measureably the revenues of the
Government are filing the bill not
withstanding increased expenditures,
say the Treasury officials. Although
customs receipts have increased S$3, :
269,o74 over last year, they say it
is yet impossible to tell whether these
actually reflect the effect Ofthe Payne
Aldrich tariff law on the revenues.
Internal revenue receipts show an
increase of sl2, 900, 900 over 1909.
Disbursements on account of the
Panama Canal continue heavy,
amounting to see, lSS,45S during
the fiscal year 1910, as against &c.,
7S4,Sl9 during the corresponding
period of last year. When Congress
passes the administration bill fixing a
graduated tax on national bank CIR
culation, Secretary Macyeags expects
to reimburse the Treasury for the
Panama Canal expenditures out of the
proceeds of the sales of bonds. The
amount to be reimbursed from that
source is $lo5,o5S,582 Whether
bids will be invited for the whole
amonnt at one time is not known.

high cost of living has been institute
ed, but under circumstances which
indicate reluctance on the part of
congress. Mr.. Elkins' resolution,
providing among other things for
ascertaining whether or not the tariff
has anything to do with high prices
was condemned to slow death, and it
was only when the pressure of public
sentiment became too strong for safe
resistance, month later, that the
senate decided to look into the
matter.
Nothing else of moment in the
fields of diplomacy or legislation has
been achieved by the administration
during Mr.. Taft's first year in Office.
None of the specific pledges upon
which he was elected has been full
filled. On the other hand there have
been fnnumerable quarrels and con-
tentions, aud at least one grave scand-
al. So far as the well being of the
people is concerned, Mr.. Taft has
accomplished virtually nothing.

THE FIRST YEAR OF TAFT.

William H. Taft has completed his
FIRST year in the White House with a
new Presidential record for travel by
AL and automobile and for speech
making within that period. He has
grasped the hand of the ruler of a
neighboring republic, reduced his
ayerdupois, displayed his skill at golf,
taken few lessons in boxing, and
scolded the newspapers. All these
things throw light on the character
and temperament of Taft the man,
and possibly none of them detracts
from his popularity with the Amer
lean people. But what can Taft the
President show for his twelve months
tenure of office: What constructive
craftsmanship, what promises fulfill
ed, what wise legislation may be
credited to his administrations

plished was the passage of new
tariff bill, and it is hardly measure
