enough votes In the Illinois legislature
to re-e!ect Albert y. Hopkins to the
senate was told on the witness stand
today before the senate Lorimer COM
mittee by James Keeiey, general man
ager OF the Chicago Tribune. It was
the sensation OF day of sensations in
the hearing. 1t followed Mr. Keeley's
testimony as to how he happened to
bny the confession of Charles A.

graft at Springfield resulted In the
Lorlmer investigation. 1t was subse-

Mr.. Hines had been replaced on the
stand today to tel about visits he paid
last winter to E. II. Gary, II. S.
Lovett. successor to Il. II. Hartman,
j. s. Bache & Co.. and others In New
York. None Of these visits. the wit

the Lorlmer case.

the Tribune at Springfield, and from
Ira Copley. representative In con-
gress from Aurora, I'll. He testified
that Charles Wheeler another Chicago
newspaper man at Springfield, came 10
Raymond during the legislative. ses-

which Speaker Shurtleff had personal
ly requested be printed. What Ray
mond had told Mr.. Keeley the wit

was that on a certain night Speaker
Shurtleff. Dan Shanahan and some
others whose names ! do not recall,

that meeting was caused by report
being received that a certain man had
come to Springfield to buy certain
democratic votes on certain day for
Hopkins.
That Representatives John C..
Wardell and Anton Carmack were
called In and that Speaker Shurtleff
told them he knew what they were

Respect For The improvements

Cy Pose was considered somewhat oi
a character round Hickory Forks. When
he built his new house, he declared that
it was not going to be mere place to
stay in. He was going 10 have all the
'frillS." Anyway, he had door-bell,
then a new thing in the neighborhood.
Soon after the new house was COM
pleted, Josh Briggs, an old neighbor who
lived on the farm just up the road, came
over one Sunday afternoon for a little
call. II was pleasant fall weather. The
windows were all open, but the front
door was shut.
Josh knocked little timidly, for ev-
erything looked pretty fine.
Cy, comfortably rocking in the front
room, gave no heed.
Josh knocked again-louder.
Cy rocked away, silently.
Josh grew restive after few moments
wait, and knocked again a good loud
knock.
Cy rocked on.
Josh changed feet, wiped his face, puz-
zled and offended, for he knew that
folks were at home. Once more he tried
it, loud, continued knock that resound-
ed over the entire place.
Whereupon Cy, still rocking comforta-
bly,, yelled:

The Cost of War.

Students of international affairs realize
that something must be done TO relieve
the world of the intolerable burden OF the
war basis. In the eight years, from 1902
to 1910, armed peace cost our country ST.
483, 200, 900, and in the last thirtY-seven
years it has cost Europe atleast Sll0, 900, =
100000. only 5000 600, 900 less than the
entire wealth of the United States. This
means an attack on every man, for every
one helps to build Our magnificent engines
of war. On the supposition that wages
average $500 to the family, armed peace
lays a yearly tax IA per cent on the to-
tai wages paid in the United States; and
we pay it in the higher prize ofou goods.
Think of all the men in the armies and
navies of the world who are thus taken
out of useful employment.
What an army of producers they might
bel Instead of constituting drain upon
resources, what splendid contribution
they might make TO the wealth of nationsI
Think, too, of the thousands Of homes
with family circle permanently broken UP
by army and navy service.

Bricks and Mortar.

Janet Duncan had just come home from
college at the close of a school year, and
as she was unPacking her trunk, was
thinking Of the presidents words in his
last address to the students.
Accomplish things worth while" he
had said "Let your every action be a
perfect brick in the building Of your char
acter," and Janet, being practical young
person,l ,lintendedIto. apply .theFprinciple
to her everyday life.
"Poor motherw she said TO herself.
"She has worked hard TO give me COL
lege education and take care of the other
children, too, and I'd like TO show her
that it has been worth while. | can't do
anything great or wonderful, but | can
take charge of the house and let her
rest"
Half an hour later she discovered her
mother getting supper, for the Duncans
had been poor since Mr.. Duncan'S death,
and could not afford hired help.
"Now, mother" cried the girl, "let me
get supper! Be a nice little momSey,
please, and go be fine lady while your
young daughter acts the servant"
"Why, thank you, DEAR" replied Mrs.
Duncan, smiling upon the winsome,
would-be Bridget, "but think I'd better
do it. I've had so much experience that
it is easy for me. If you want TO help,
though" she added, as she saw the bright
face fall, "You may peel these potatoes. Z"
"All right, mother" was the cheerful
rejoinder; but inwardly Janet was little
disappointed, as she saw the chance OF
making brick" slipping from her.
She helped in various little ways, and
after supper washed and wiped the dish
eS.
AS the days went on, Janets work
proved TO be the little, insignificant tasks
which any one can do; and as she laugh
ingly observed, she was the "odd-iob
man." When she offered TO sew, she
could help most by pulling out hastings
if she was willing to help entertain her
mothers visitors, she was needed TO
keep the children quiet; and so it went,
all through the summer.
One day Mrs. Duncan stopped her
in the midst OF dishwaShing, and taking
the girls face in her hands, she said,
"Janet, dear, do you realize what COM
fort you are to me2 couldn't get along
without my 'odd-iob man., and am so
thankful that college hasn't spoiled her"
Janet flushed with pleasure, but before
she could answer, her mother was gone.
"Oh," she breathed, "Pm so glad |!
Now don't care if haven't made any
bricks Perhaps" musingly, "perhaps
the mortar that 'chinkS in between other
peoples bricks does just as much good
in the world"

Treatment of Neuralgia.

Neuralgia is a paroxysmal pain in a
nerve. In most victims OF this wretched
trouble the same nerve suffers in each
attack, although there are patients with
whom the agony travels from one nerve
TO another. The first thing TO ascertain
in a case of persistent neuralgia is whether
the trouble is due TO some underlying
organic condition or whether it is simply
just case OF sick nerve calling for
help.
The neuralgia which has an organic
basis is called "symptomatic" neuralgia,
and may be present as one of many other
symptoms in tumors or in certain inflam-
matory affections or tuberculous LESSONS
which are in such position asto compress
the course of the nerve at any point.
Neuralgia pure and simple is called
"idiopathic," and may be compared to
the screams of an angry baby, who de-
clares its needs in the only fashion it can
command.
The only person competent TO Judge
whether particular case of neuralgia is
symptomatic or idiopathic is, of course,
the physician, and if the pain is traceable
to some organic trouble any treatment
directed to removal of the pain alone
would be simple loss of time.
In case of simple neuralgia the first
thing to do is 10 find out the underlying
cause, for it may be accepted as an axiom
that perfectly we'll people do not have
painful nerves. Young children and old
people are rarely sufferers from neuralgia.
II is trouble that attacks those who are
living the active adult life, and especially
people in middle age, when the various
fatigues OF that life are most prone to
overtake us. II is often one OF the Sc
quels of long illness such as typhoid
fever, and often follows grip.
Persons with the so-called rheumatic
diathesis seem more disposed TO it, and
any great emotional shock or undue fa-
tigue may bring on an attack in neural
gic individual.
Besides the paroxysmal pain OF neu-
ralgia there is generally dull ache all
the time of the attack, with tender spots
along the line Of the nerve that will be
found very sensitive TO slight pressure
with the finger tip.
Neuralgia may attack any nerve in the
body, but it perhaps causes its greatest
torture when it takes the form known as
tic-douloureux. This is neuralgia in the
face, along the line of the sensitive nerve
which supplies all this part of the head.
Another exquisitelY painful form of neu-
ralgia is that known as sciatica, in the
sciatic nerve, which runs down the dack
of the leg.

Birds as Money Savers.

The destruction of inSect-eating birds
should not be overlooked by those at
tempting to explain the increased cost OF
living. Government statistics STOW that
our agriculture has suffered 10 the extent
OF billions of dollars through the ravages
of insects. The annual loss has increased
steadily until il has reached figure which
the human mind cannot grasp.
In the cotton belt OF the South the boil
weevil, which has increased with such
rapidity as 10 become plague, took as
its toll in one year more than $500, 600
worth of product upon which every man
woman, and child is dependent. And in
this same section is permitted the whole
sale destruction of birds, seventy five per
cent. of whose food is the crop-destroy-
ing iusectl We shall pay for this loss,
sustained largely through folly and ignor-
ance, when we buy our clothes. Grain,
vegetable, and fruit culture in many local
tiles is so hampered by noxiouS insects
that the farmer "drags home the stingY
harvest" discouraged and with good
cause for abandoning his occupation.
Every dollars worth of damage which
the bird guards could have prevented
must come out OF the pockets of the peo-
pie.
Poison sprays and other artificial means
do not successfully check the damage
done by insect pests. We must look TO
the wild birds for substantial relief. They
will not fail lis, even if we do no more
than simply let them live,

Rules For Making Sunshine.

When you rise in the morning, form a
resolution 10 make the day happy one
to some fellow creature. It's easily done;
left-off garment TO the man who needs
it, kind word to the soTowful, an en-
couraging expression TO the striving,
trifleS in themselves light as air, will do
if, at least for the twentY-four hours; and
if you are young, depend upon it, it will
tell when you are old; and if you are old
it will send you gently and happily down
the stream OF human time and eternity.
BY the most simple arithmetical sum, look
at the result; you send one person, only
one, happy through the day-that is three
hundred and sixty-five during the course
OF the year; and suppose you live only
forty years after you commence that
practice, you have made fourteen thou
sand six hundred human beings happy,
at all events for time. II is too short
