U. S. GOVERNMENT MINES

1t is not a matter of general
knowledge that the United States
is the owner and operator of actual
producing mines. Recently some
attention has been attracted by the
gift Of q Pennsylvania coal mine
to the Federal Bureanu Of Mines
to facilitate its studies on coal
mining accidents and efficient min
ing methods.
For 8 or 4 years the U. S. gov
eminent has owned and operated q
coal mine in the western part of
the island of Batan, off the east
coast of Luzon. The mine is
under the control of the War De-
partment, which is the admins
traitor Of the governments affairs
in the Philippine islands. The
coal is 81 #. thick, dips about Is
degrees is almost smokeless, and
contains only about,6 per cent ash.
The output is restricted to the
needs of the u. S. military and
naval service. Close at hand on
the same island is another coal
mine, owned by civilians which
serve the needs of general COM
merce and industry.-Mining

THE FOOD OF THE MIGHTY

John Pierpont Morgan's favorite
dish is is corned beef and cabbage.
A Sixth avenue restaurant still
serves "corned beef hash q la
Hanna" from the recipe of the
departed Ohio Warwick. James
r. Keene likes a full course dinner
with feminine loneliness at the
board. Colonel Roosevelt hearty
but discrlmi mating feeder. delights
in good sauterne. When Mr.. Taft
entered the White House he went
on the water wagon for the whole
term and never tastes drop of
liquor or wine; but when the
dinner is good he hardly ever cuts
out course. Mayor Gaynor turns
down champagne for good Scotch.
Andrew Carnegie lives on simple
food and shuns nearly all public
banquets. William Leary the
elections commissioner, keeps Lent
by stopping smoking.-New York

MAKING ADVERTISING NEWSY

The pricnipal reason for disap-
pointment over the results Of ad.
vertising, is the failure to have Il
like the rest of the newspaper.
People read the news columns to
get the news. They turn to the
advertising for precisely the same
reason. II the same arti lie vas
stuck In the news columns day
after day 1t would attract few
readers. Just as the dispatches of
q newspaper reflect what is going
on in the world, so the advertis-
ing should reflect just what Is
going on in the stores. Things are
happening every day. In our stores
that will keenly interest the people.
There are new lines of goods,
bargains on shopworn or unsesson-
able stock. The public is anxious
to know about these things drawn
by the keenest of all motives. the
desire to save money.

GHAMP CLARK

Rress. which convene in extra ses-
ison today. had q picturesque early
career. Mr.. Clark was born March
Ia. 1850, in Anderson county. KY,
and was educated in the common
schools. Kentucky University,
Bethany College and Cincinnati
Law School. In 1884 he was
president Of Marshall College. West
Virginia, and says in his biography
in the Congressional Directory that
for twenty-five years he held the
record for being the youngest
college president in the United
States" Mr.. Clark worked as q
hired farm hand, clerked in a
country store. edited a county
newspaper and practced law in a
country village.
Champs full name isBeauchamp.
That was too long and too Frenchy
for lis early associates. SO they
called him Champ for short and
Champ he has been ever since.
When Champ was seven years old
his father "farmed" him out to
John Call. Call couldn't read.
but he struck a bargain with
Champ to take the LOUISVILLE
Journal If Champ would read him
the news every day. The seven
year-old boy. having a smatering of
readin', 'riting and 'rithmetic and
eager to learn more snapped al the
chance and faithfully fulfilled his
contract doubtless adding greatly
to his small store Of knowledge
in the process.
| When sixteen years old Champ
thought he would like to be a
school teacher. He went to Wash
ington county, secured a school.
and was then informed that it had
been previously taught by thre e
Yankees in succession, each of whom
had been run out of the county at
the muzzle of shotgun. Nothing
daunted, Champ took the job. The
district was divided into two
factions--the Bakers and the
Oes Tres. One day Champ larruped
about seventeen pupils whose
parents belonged to the Devine
faction. The following day, as a
matter Of precaution, the young
teacher took brace of navy
revoIvers to school with him, and
thereafter hung them up behind
his desk with as much regularity
as he hung up his overcoat. Dur
ing recess Champ happened to
be standing In the doorway when
one Of the Devine family dashed
up. drew a bead on him with a
rifle and fred. The ball Just
missed Champs head. The teacher
grabbed his pistols, adjourned
school. got q horse and dashed
after Devine. He chased him into
the next county before giving I'D
the pursuit. Devine never came
back while Champ was school
teacher.
Champ had several narrow
escapes while teaching the young
idea how TO shoot" (they needed
no instruction in the use of fire-
arms, howeverJ and on one oc-
casion was compelled in self-defense
to wing his man."
But Champ never showed the
white feather. He hung on Ltub-
bornly and finally gained the
respect and admiration Of his foes.
Then he went to Bethany College,
West Virginia where he graduated
In June. 1873 with the highest
honors and the highest grade ever
taken by student in that insii-
tuition. In his subsequent career
he became newspaper editor, a
lawyer and . member Of congress.
In every position he showed the
same indomi-tablc spirit, courage
and stick-to-itiyeness that con-
quered his first school district for
him.

are yioient-they act on the
bowels as pepper acts in
the nOstriIs.

We all need a laxative sometimes.
How often we need it depends en-
tirely on how we live. If we eXer-
else largely and eat the right food,
we need a laxative only occasionally.
But if we live indoors. and get too
little laxative effect in our food, we
may need to get it quite frequently
in some other way.
Nobody can doubt the need for a
laxative. The only question is:
Which one Is the best? And that
isn't a question now. Cascarets are
known to embody the only laxative
which acts in a gentle and natural
way. Castor oil merely greases the
bowels. Cathartics and salts, acting
as pepper acts In the nostrils, flush
the bowels with fluids. But those
fluids are digestive juices, and we
will lack them tomorrow If we waste
today.
Cascarets alone cause the muscles
Of the bowels to act the same as
some foods will do. Garry them with
you. Take one when you need It.
You will then enjoy all the good
effects of keeping the bowels clean.
They are sold by all druggists, but
never In bulk. The price Is 10 cents

MADERO AS A

Crowd That Greet Him Com

City of Mexico, June S.-Francisct
l. Madero, the nations hero, Is In the

Unarmed, he has Travelled from the

outlaw. Now he is the nations guest
surrounded on all sides by shouting
~applauding Mexicans. He was escorted
under triumphant arches and shower
ed with flowers and confetti as be
made his way from the station to the
national palace.
Many of the crowd had been stand
ing in line for hours. The train was
two hours late. The crowd displayed
the best of temper throughout the long
wait. More than 500 young Maderistas
organized into bands of twenty were
stationed throughout the city with in
structions to preserve order and pre-
vent unruly demonstrations. Tn
street cars were suspended In the cen
ter Of the city during the progress OF
the demonstration. This was because
of the fact that Tuesday the windows
in many of the cars were broken and
1t was found impossible to keep any
sort Of a schedule.
Maderist organizers announced thai
they would guarantee perfect order
The newly appointed governor of thu
federal district issued a manifesto ad
vising the people that order depended
upon the people themselves. All sol
diers stationed In the City of Mexico
were ordered to remain In barracks.
The crowd that awaited Madero was
distinctly different from crowds which

were no dress clothes, no silk hats II
