 It is believed by fair-minded and wcIl-informcd observers that few of our statesmen were nOticeably en- nobled by our war for the liberation of Cuba. or the invasion of Mexico. or even by our last war with Great Britain. which these states came out by exactly the same hole they went in at. so far as concerned the con tested right of search. The Rcvolu- ton itself left a long trail of evils behind it, and some of the soldiers bred in it. as Burr and Wilkinson, have not remained monuments of in tcgrity and nobility in history. In the more signal instance of Benedict Arnold it appears that the cnnobling influences of war may ultimately miss fire. as it were, and a man of un- questionable heroism and self-devo- tion. being overtrained in the school of virtue. may turn out g traitor.
 Peace has been blamed by a great many people who have said that We should degenerate morally and phy- sicauy without the tonic of battle. Yet. curiously enough. blessing was invoked upon the peacemakers, who should be called the children of God. while nothing of the kind was pro uounced concerning the makers of war

A CHARMED CROSS.

For many years the miraculous cross (which was alleged to have saved King David's life by intcrpos- ing itself between him and an in furiated white stag) was preserved in the abbey Its virtue. however. was tested in 1346 at the battle of Dun bar. The test proved too much for the cross. which fell into the hands of the enemy. who paid it the respect of housing it in the cathedral neal the field of battle.

SOME TRICKS OF sToRM-T

A FARMER-MulfOrd WinsOr, eN- newspaperman and member of the constitutional convention seemed quite as much interested in agricul- ture as in politics. while waiting for the meeting that didn't occur. yester- day. MT Winsor reports that he is experimenting l60 acres of alfalfa which he owns near Yuma. and that he likes the job quite as well as newspaper work: likewise finds il more profitable. or as profitable with less work. He tells of one Yuma all .falfa farmer who this year secured 41 ,0G0 pounds of seed from 43 acres Ialmost 1000 rounds to the acre; and he says that zoo. 500 and 900 pounds to the acre are not uncommon yields for Yuma alfalfa farms, the average being 500 pounds. As the seed brings i1G cents a pound and the hay crop makes it all profit, it can be readily Iseen that S12.S0O to the 160 acres is Isome salve for any dsappointments that may happen in politics to the

again turned to me.

said he, because I have an appoint

be present"
Rather a late hour, sir" l ventured.
Are you keeping faith with DR..
Ward?'
Il have no time for hobbies" he
exclaimed, half petulantly. What l
must do is this work. The man we
are to meet tonight is Mr.. Polk. 1t

Perhaps half an hour later, Mr.. Cal
houn's old negro man ushered in this
awaited guest, and we three found
ourselves alone in one of those mid
night conclaves which went on in
Washington even then as they do to-
day. Mr.. Polk was serious as usual;
his indecisive features wearing the
mask of solemnity, which with SO
many passes as wisdom.
Il have come, Mr.. Calhoun" said he
-when the latter had assured him
that my presence would entail no risk
TO him-"to talk over this Texas situ-
alton. How do you stand in case war
should be declared against Mexico?
That ought to be a popular measure.
The Texans have captured the popular
imagination. The Alamo rankleS in
our nations memory. What would
you say to a stiff demand there, with
a strong show OF military force be-
hind ito"
L should say nothing as to a strong
showing in any case. | should only
say that if war came legitimately-
not otherwise should back it with
all my might. I feel the same in re-
gard to war with England"
With England? What chance would
we have with so powerful a nation as
that"
There is a God of Battles" said
John Calhoun.
The chin Of James X. Polk of Ten
nessee sank down into his stock. His
staring eyes wen half shut. At last
he spoke, tentatively, as was always
his way unit he o the drift of
things.
We'll, now perhaps in the case of
England IndI is SOOu pOlIllcS, lie OS-
gan. 1T is very possible that the peo-
pie hate England as much as they do

You are always thinking of the

the whole of Oregon is ill-timed to-
day"

said John Calhoun. But how would
it sound to the tune of cannon fire?
How would it ook written in the

PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO
HEALTH By GREAT KID
NEY REMEDY

Some time ago I began the use Of
DR.. KiLner's Swamp-Root with the most
remarkable results. For years l was almost
q wreck and was a great sufferer. The doc
tors who treated me made me believe that
my great sufferings were due to female
trouble. I was SO bad at times I would
faint away and had sinking spells.
Finally a new doctor was called in and
he said that I had kidney trouble and
gave me medicine, Of which I took sew
eral bottles. I obtained some relief from
this but I was getting weaker ell the
time; / could not sleep and suffered SO
much pain hat my husband and children
had to lift me in and out of bed. After
this time two friends sent me word to try
Dr.. kilmer's Swamp-Root, which I did.
and I am glad to state that the first dose
gave me great relief After taking the
third dose I was helped into bed and slept
half of the night.
I took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and I feel that I owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family doc
tors said that 1 could not live three
months; my urine was in a terrible con-
dition-thick and slimy-and l would have
to be helped in and out of bed ten to
twenty times every night. After taking
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for two days l
was entirely free from getting up and
could sleep soundly.
