''Marvels at Home and Abroad is
the title of a work in three volumes by
F. Quincy Smith, published by the
Neale Company. The three volumes
contain the history of nine distinct
trips, each volume covering three
trips: two visits to Jamaica, one to
Mexico, in 1909. one to California, be-
fore the san Francisco disaster; an
other to that brilliant and courageous
city at the time of the fire, and four
trips to Europe Taken as whole, the
books form a record of extensive
travel, and from any standpoint
e~ary, historical, or descriptive-they
make a valuable addition to the litera-
ture of travel. The authors style is
refreshing in its naturalness. And he
is entirely frank. Like Mark Twain,

tuberculosis to Disappear in Amount
The World Over

tuberculosis is diminishing in
amount the world over, and it is
predicted that in rs or 30 years it
will have quite disappeared. The
decrease OF diminuation is different
In different countries, plainly ipdica-
ting that the decrease is one OF hab-
It's and life. The reduction OF the
n-alAdy is one OF the strongest sup
port OF the sentiment of optimism,
for it indicates the increase OF clean
or and nobler living.
The personal habit in respect to
sobriety, purity, courage. integrity,
unselfishress is hurting tubercu-
losis and all other maladies every
where. AS the world advances in
virtue and honor, its distempers
begin to grow less. This doctrine
was announced by John Burns, the
labor leader in Parliament, and if
his philosophy and fact agree, we
all have reason to rejoice.
There is to be another consider
alton added to this which is, that
the same improved living that re-
duces tuberculosis will red uce our
social and political maladies as we'll.

Senator Swanson Thursday from
Washington sent out his reply to
Representative Glass, in which he
denounces the charges as utterly
false, and says that Mr.. Glass was
actuated by malice and a personal
dislike to him (Swanson) in indulg-
ing publicly in such slanderous
abuse. Mr.. Swanson said in expla-
nation of the charge:
I'm 1898. while 1 was at Chatham,
Va. when Congress was not in ses-
sion, l purchased on margin 200
shares of the stock of the American
Tobacco Company. 1 put up the
usual margin required by brokers'
in speculative transactions. The
stock was never in my possession.
and | do not suppose it was ever
transferred to my name on the books
OF the company. The broker held
the stock only a short time, and l
never voted 1T or gave any one a
proxy to vote it.
II was never in any essential
sense stakeholder. but simply
carried the 200 shares of stock as
q speculation, through the agency
of broker, with the view to making
q speculative profit. 1t was a stock
traded in on the market and 1
thought it was low and thought by
buying some of it and holding it for
a short time that I could make a
