Dean Buckland when at Westmin-

brown paper parcel which he re-
ceived one day by post. After many
wrappings had been unfolded he found
q small black splinter Of oak about
an inch and half long. The writer
of the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was a boy.
many years before. he had clipped the
splinter OF the coronation chair. AS
age advanced his conscience grew
troublesome. and he asked the dean
to be kind enough to restore the
splinter to its place.-Pall Mall Gazette

| Laxative Sent
 Free to 'TiB-ly

Ii may be taken for granted that there is no family of any size that goes very long without needing q lax atiye. Ii you don't know of a good laxative. or the laxative you are using is losing it's effect, we want to cal. your attention to Dr. CaldwelI's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of families are using successfully.
 We have scores of letters from moth CTS, and scores from prominent uan saying they are using it personally and giving it to their families. men like Mr. C. K. Smith of the Traffic Clearing House, Pine Bluh, Ark. and MT. George B Turner, a lawyer of Harlan, Ky. The thousands of mothers who use it them selves and give it 10 their children would take too much space to mention.
 The reason they prefer Syrup Pepsin is that it is q mild, gentle laxative tonic that does not gripe-effectiXe and yet SO mild that babies can take it. Ifs tonic ingredients invigerate the body and strengthen the stomach and bow el muscles so that they again de thcIr work naturally. If you have been il victim of salts, pills and strong C1tEor- ties you will discard them when you once use syrup Pepsin
 You can buy a fifty cent or one dol lar bottle of any druggist, but before doing so you may want t5 try it f95H. If SO. send your address to pr.

 Much to the regret of all, the big picnic held here last week was practically a failure, owing to the extremely rainy weather prevailing  at that time. Preparations had been made for a great picnic and nothing was left undone that would have added to the pleasure of the occasion, but the rain spoil ed all the well-laid plans. There were perhaps 2,O00 or 5000 people on the picnic grounds between showers Friday, and most of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, but taken as a whole the picnic was so far below what had been planned and was expected that ii was a great disappointment to all.

AROUND THE WORLD
 IN SIXTEEN MINUTES
I he World is Speed-rIad---Where
 and When Will it Stop?

For the purpose of determining t.e time it would take to accom- sh the feat, the New York i mes, the other day, sent a mes age of nine words around the Eprld by wire
 It took exactly sixteen and one half minutes for the message to make the journey of 2S,613 miles over land and under the seas of the two hemispheres. In that time 1t passed through the hands of eighteen different agencies, op- erating land and submarine lines in the new and old world, trayers- ed the United States, touched at the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Phillipines, China, India, Africa and Spain. It flashed under the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans, the Red and Mediterranean seas and the Suez canal.
 The experiment had a special significance in view of the fact that fifty four years ago this month Cyrus w. Field saw his dream of electrical communication between England and the United States realized, in the successful laying of the first Atlantic cable and the transmission of messages between the two widely separated nations. That aehieyment, fol- lowing the introduction of the land telegraph by Prof. Morse, moved the world forward a thousand years.
 From the introduction of the cable dates most of the electrical, engineering and other maryels which have stirred the universe and fired the imagination of the progressive and thoughtful. Since then, Bell has given Us the tele- phone, Edison the wonders of the electric light, Bessimer the great secret of modern steel making, Holland the wonderful submarine destroyers, Westinghouse his great mechanical inventions, Marconi his marvellous wireless system, not to overlook the automobile, the air ship, and the great inventions which have made possible the mile minute railroad train, the sky scraper, the great canals, viaducts and bridges which facilitate com munication between communities and add to their comfort and con- venience.
 Assuredly the world is speed mad. The question is not how fast is it moving, but when and where if eyer-wiIl 1t stop?

G. A. r. ENCAMPMENT

The Illinois department of the
Grand Army Of the Republic is meet
ing at Joliet, H., and some friend has
been kind enough TO send US a copy
Of the Joliet Evening Herald, contain
ing pictures, programs and write-ups
of the meeting.
The Herald says:
Joliet streets are a riot of color
The shades blend with pleasing
harmony under the blazing sun by
day and under the electric lights at
night.
Never in the history of the city
have the business blocks been so gor-
geously caparisoned for a festival oc-
casion as they have for the forty-fifth
annual encampment of the Illinois de-
partment, Grand Army of the Repub-
lic."
Editorially the Herald says:
I'VE are glad that so many of the
veterans are able to be with us for
few days They are the representa-
tives OF the noblest organization on
earth, the survivors of an army of he
roes whose unfinching courage and
answering patriotism will live for
ever in the annals of the country. The
fraternal ties which were welded on
the field of battle are as strong as
ever. They are among the best citi-
zens of the country, for, in addition to
their ideals of citizenship they have
imbibed through their military life
the lessons of obedience to law and
order. and have learned that he who
would command must first learn to
obey.
The state of Illinois achieved great
glory during the struggle for the pre-
servation of the country. Not only
did she send thousands and thous-
ands Of her brave sons in the army to
fight, and to die if need be, in defense
Of the flag, but she furnished the
great president who directed the des-
TIMES of the country during the strug-
gle, and also the great captain who
gained greater victories on the field
Of battle than any commander whom
the world has ever known"
