The Land of Pretty Soon"

know of land where the streets are paved
With the things meat to achieves;
1t is walled with the money we meant to have saved,
And the pleasure from which grieve
The kind words unspoken, the promises broken,
And many coveted boon
Are slowed away there in that land somewhere
The land of Pretty Soon.
There uncut jewels of possible fame,
Lying about in the dust
And many noble and lofty aim
Covered with mould and rust
And. O, this place, while it seems near,
Is farther away than the moon
Though purpose is fair, yet we never get there
The land of pretty Soon"
It is farther at than it is at dawn
Farther at night than at noon;
O. let us beware of that land down there
The land of pretty Soon.

Birmingham Citizen Sweas
to Remarkable Statement

l want to tell you what DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root did for my wife. She was
troubled with terrible pains In her back
and they were such that 1t deprived her
of many nights sleep. There was thick
red sediment in her urine like brick
dust. The passage Of the urine was
very annoying, being of a burning SEN
sation and the complication was max
ing her very thin and weak. The medt-
cine which the doctors gave her did not
seem to help her and she was finally
persuaded to try DIR. Kilmer,s Swamp
Root I purchased one bottle of the
large size flor her and It helped her
greatly. After she had taken three bot
ties she did not have any more trouble
with her kidneys. 1t has been seven
years since she took Swamp-Root and
she is now well and healthy. At the
time of her kidney trouble she weighed
i3O pounds and she now weighs 1S5.
My wife is thirty-two years of age ana
cheerfully recommends DR.. Kilmers $
Swamp Root to her friends and feels
very thankful that she found reme-
dy with such wonderful merit.
We give you absolute permission to
publish this in any way you wish.

Senators are beginning to shift their
quarters in the Capitol, on account OF
the changes being made in the chair
manships of committees.
Senator du Pont of Delaware, despite
the connection Of the du Pont name
with the Powder trust, a trust which
the Government is assailing under the
Sherman law, is going to be appointed
to the craftsmanship of the Military
Affairs Committee. A little thing like
undue affection for the Powder trust
can't be allowed to interfere with the
Senate rule of seniority, and so du Pont
will land the place he wants in spite
of protests.
Already he is moving the headquarters
Of the Military Affairs Committee from
the old room on the ground floor of the
Capitol to the former headquarters OF
the Appropriations Committee. The old
Appropriations Committee offices, SO
long occupied by Allison, later by Hale,
are to be the offices of the Military
Committee, with du Popt chairman.
Appropriations Offices.
AS for the Appropriations Committee, 1t
will have the old offices of the Mill
tary Committee on the ground floor plus
the room used for years by Senator
Lodge as the headquarters of the Phil
ippines Committee. The rooms will be
connected, a passage being cut from
the old room occupied by Senator Lodge
into the old offices of Warren This,
when completed, will be one of the finest
suites of offices in the Capitol.
Senator Lodge has moved from the
old headquarters of the Philippines
Committee to the old offices OF Senator
Hale, and the Naval Affairs Committee
on the gallery floor of the Senate wing
of the Capitol. This is a magnificent old
set of offices. 1t is true that the wind
whistles through the ill-fitting doors in
some places, but there Is history there.
And that's what Senator Lodge likes.
These offices have been left practically
unchanged since they were constructed.
Hepburn Moving.
Senator Hepburn is moving into the
old rooms of Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia, the offices of Public Buildings
and Grounds. Senator Clapp is going
into the old offices of Senator Elkins,
as he will be the chairman of the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce.

CHIEF PUTS FIRE
FIGHTERS THROUGH
LIFE5SAV|NG DRILL
Young Firemen Shown How
to Scale Ladders Under
Handicap.

Under the practiced eyes of Chief
Frank ]. Wagner and Deputy Chief A.
]. Sullivan eleven recruits in the Fire
Department today received a lesson in
the science of saving life and property.
The instruction took place on the skele-
ton tower adjacent to No. engine
house. in North Carolina avenue. be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets
southeast, and was the first of the
weekly drills in which every fireman
of less than five years experience will
participate during the summer months.
By actual experience the firefighter
will learn what il means to climb down
a ladder with a man on his back, and
the axact amount of nerve required to
jump for the top of building into
life net. The men were first put
through the pompier ladder drill. The
pompier ladder is pole with cross
pieces and a hook on one end which
is attached to ledge or window sill in
a burning building.
Quick Time.
With this the men scaled the tower
In remarkably quick time, the pole
bending and swaying under their weight,
In order to learn the free use of their
hands the men strapped themselves to
the pole by life belts, and leaned out
as far as they could.
The rain interrupted the drill, Chief
Wagner declining to permit the men to
risk an accident on the slipper ladder.
These men are new at the business y
said the CHEW. "and there is no use in
requiring them to undergo unnecessary
risk. They are displaying the right
sort of nerve, but a slippery ladder is
hard to handle, and we do not want
any one injured"
Jump Into Net.
Following the ladder drill two men
jumped from the top of the life tower
into the life net. The men are directed
TO aim for large red spot in the center
Of the net and to alight on the back.
The firemen engaged in the drill to-
day were E. Bruff. J. Sartain, F. S.
Faber. n. Chichester. F. Burger, j. w.
Tiffany, +. Cheney, c. Bartelmas, F. E.
Phillips, w. Lamp, and Z. w. Wiss-
man.
Chief Wagner announced today his
intention of ordering some new dunn
miles, resembling n man in size and
weight. which will be used in the drills.

Miller, Would-Be
Suicide, Will Recover

Physicians at Casualty Hospital said
this morning that Theodore Miller, who
tried to end his life while on a Balti-
more and Ohio train last evening by
shooting himself in the left breast, would
recover.
Miller. who is thirty-nine years old,
is an employe of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing. and lives at 800 Indiana
avenue northwest. He had been out Of
the city and was returning to Washing
ton when he drew a revolver just be-
fore the train reached Langdon, d. c..
and fired a bullet into his chest.
A telephone message was sent to
Washington from Langdon and when
the train pulled in at Union Station
an ambulance was waiting to take Mil
ler to the hospital. The bullet; was re-
moved. Miller declined to make any
statement.

MADERO'S POPULARITY
SAID TO BE ON THE WANE

Mexico City, July 22.-Despite the
breaking of the agreement that Gen
eral Bernardo Reyes should be min
lister of war in the cabinet of Francis
co |. Madero. and Notwithstanding
Madero's assurances that Reyes was
free to enter the presidential race
the general today insisted he would
not be candidate.
Supporters of Madero shrug their
shoulders and express their disDehel
in Reyes statement. Reyes said ne
offered to release Madero from the
promises relative to making him
minister of war solely because OF
the growing opposition in the ranks
of the Maderistas as expressed by the
anti Reyesista clubs.
Madero was prompt in answering
him. He said he not only would re-
lease the general from the agreement
but that he assured him he was at
liberty to become a presidential cam
didate regardless of any promises.
In opposing the appointment OF
the general to a cabinet post, anti
Reyesistas offered the argument that
he represented the old regime, but
were more specific in their warnings
that he would use the army, once he
was in power. to seize the presidency.
In this fight upon the general
there was no secrecy. Tonight he in
sisted he and Madero We're still good
friends and he did not believe the
best interests Of his country could be
served by the entry of further can
didates.
If Reyes does not become candi-
date in opposition to Madero it viii
be solely because of his refusal to en-
ter the contest. Three months ago
there was no one in the republic
whose popularity was comparable to
that of the leader of the late revolu-
ton. but since then there has been
steadily growing party that would
gladly nominate Reyes.

fair to see new administration in
control of the republic at an early
date.
Today the advance columns of the

and Las Cahobas, important places
about twenty miles to the north OF
Port Au Prince. Troops sent out sew

which was temporarily successful Of
