IT CONTINUES TO LEAD.

In 1928 there was published Noah Websters' American Dic- tiOnary of the English Language" a work to which MT. Webster had devoted twenty-one years of his life, giving to the task a superb intellect, highly cultivated and thoroughly trained, which he bent to complete and thorough study of the origin and development of the English language, the deriva. tion, classification of it's words and a complete arrangement of their definitions. It was the crowning work of a long and fruitful literary career, and it placed Doctor Web. ster at the head of the list of the worlds Photographers. The effect. iveness and scope of his work may be comprehended from the state- ment that the first edition, pub lished in 1928, contained twelve thousand words and between thirty thousand and forty thousand de6- nitions that had not been presented Tn any dictionary compiled pieced- ing that time. Of that first edition two thousand five hundred copies were published in America, and three thousand in England. In 1040'4l Doctor Webster published the second edition of the Amer ican Dictionary-three thousand copies in two volumes, royal octave. A number of thousand words were added to the vocabulary, de6ni- tiOns were corrected and ampliied to meet the expansion and develop. ment of the language, and to follow the advancement of the world in the arts and sciences. In 1843, shortly before his death, Doctor Webster revised the appendix of the American Dictionary and made many additions. The new work was published the month he passed away, May, l843, at the ripe age of nearly eighty-five y years.
 In 1847 a new and much more comprehensive edition of the Amer.

ing Station to Japan.

Mexico City.-President Taft gave
President Diaz of Mexico six days TO
abrogate a treaty he is said to have
made with Japan.
The hidden treaty was discovered
by Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson,
who photographed it, returned the
original, and proceeded posthaste to
Washington to inform the State De-
partment.
The treaty is said to have contained
clauses that gave Japan coaling-sta-
ton privileges and other big conces-
sions of the coast of Mexico, includ-
ing the right to use Magdalena Bay
for target practice.
Taft's order modifying troops at
the border followed promptly.
These are startling disclosures
made here by an apparently authentic
source, and which, as recited in mar
rative form, are given as the cause

troops to the border. The relations
reported to have existed between
Mexico and Japan are said to have
prevailed prior to March l.
The secret clauses of the treaty,
those said to have been photographed
by Mr.. Wilson, the report continues,
gave Japan lease of coaling sta.
ton and maneuver privileges in Mag
dalena Bay, with the alternative of a
coaling station at one other of few
scattered ports down the Mexican
coast.
Clauses also set forth Japan and

interesting data on the cost Of produc-
ing ton Of silage. Figuring In the rent
of land. blowing. cost of seed. planting
and cultivating. he found that 1t cost
y cents per ton. The cost of filling the
silo. allowing a liberal wage for men
and teams. he found to be "a cents per
ton. The cost Of machinery and stor-
age. including all items such us inter-
est on money invested. depreciation
and repairs and even taxes and insur.
ance. was 4S cents per ton. Adding
these three initial costs together. we
find that the cost of producing a ton

John Bowers OF Iowa has another way
of figuring 1t In which he arrives at
about the same figures.

The Orphan Lamb.

Many sheep do not own their lambs
just because they do not have any
milk for them. Instinct leads them
to drive one away when they bear two.
Feed the outcast lamb for a few days
and let the eve have milk making
food until she has enough milk for
both lambs. Then she will most likely
own her lamb.

ment.
Aim Is to Swamp Senate.
In regard to these special questions
of legislation, as we'll as regards the
tariff, the House leaders are DESTROYS
of embarrassing the Republican Sen
ate just as much as possible. A reso-
luton proposing an amendment to the
Constitution providing for popular
election of senators will stir up pro-
tracted debate in the Senate, though
ultimately such a resolution will pass;
a publicity bill, if it be reasonable,
possibly can pass the Senate ahead of
the popular elections resolution. The
admission OF Arizona and New Mex
leo will also provoke much discus
sion in the Senate.
Bryan Is Active.
A most interesting figure In Wash
iDgton the past week has been Will
liam j. Bryan of Nebraska Mr..
Bryan has been advising with the
Democratic leaders in both branches
of changes and is credited with hav-
ing taken an active part in the un-
successful effort to prevent the selec-
ton of Senator Martin of Virginia as
the minority leader in the upper
House.
That Mr.. Bryan's presence and
activity is distasteful to some of the
more conservative Democratic LEADERS
is evidenced by a bitter interview
with Senator Bailey, of Texas. Mr..
Bailey said:
Mr. Bryan now absolutely domi.
mates the House Of Representatives.
He deliberately came to Washington
to organize the radicals and make war
on everybody else. He had no bust.
ness here except to make trouble and
try to drive his party away from its
sound and historic position"
National University Proposed.
The establishment of the United
States University in the national capt.
tai is provided for in bill introduced
by Senator Borah. 1t is proposed to
furnish general training for the public
service. and an honorary George
Washington Degree" in consideration
of some distinguished service rem
dered to the nation, is authorized.
Investigate Destruction Of RattIeship.
An investigation will undoubtedly
be made by Congress of the shooting
to pieces of the old battleship Texas.
Secretary Meyers letter in answer to
Senator Perkins query as to the wis
dom of destroying craft in target
practice that 20 years ago cost $4,000
900 has not allayed criticism. Even
some of the secretary's stanchest
friends in Congress are unconvinced
and resolutions calling for an inquiry
which are confidently expected from
the Democrats, will be passed posi-.
bly, without opposition.

tablish by legislation, If he can. the
right of government employees to or

rist prisoners, inexplicable on any
other ground than the volatile nature

came Immediately on converting OF

,oners manifesting either real or
feigned hysteria and within few
minutes all the other prisoners had
become affected until the big steel
cage resembled violent ward in an

The prisoners wept, screamed, beat
the bars of the cage, moaned and
hurled excavations at the court until

SWENS0N SENT TO NORWAY
TAFT SENDS HIS NOMINATION TO
SENATE.
Mr.. Swenson 10 at Present Ambassa.
dor to standardization
One Of Several.

Minneapolis, April %. - President
Taft has sent to the senate the nomi-
nation of Laurits 8. Swenson Of Min
neapolis, at present minister to Swift
zerland, to be minister to Norway.
The change is one of several caused
by the resignation of Herbert Pierce
as minister to Norway and the eleva-
ton of Former Congressman H. 8.
Boutell, of Chicago, from minister to
Portugal to minister to Switzerland.
Mr.. Swenson has made a splendid
reputation as diplomat and is said
to stand very high in the estimation
of the president. It was thought best
to send him to Norway, which is con-
sidered one of the most important of
the berths in the diplomatic service,
man who was familiar with the Ian
guage, customs and life of the country
to a greater degree than would be pos
sible in most cases. Mr.. Swenson, al
though born in Minnesota, has always
been close student of the life of his
forbears and is eminently qualified
for his new post.
Appointed by Mckinley.
President Mckinley appointed Mr..
Swenson minister to Denmark in 1897
and he held that post until 1910 when
he was transferred to Switzerland by
President Taft, which post he has
held until the present time.
When the change from Denmark to
Switzerland was made in 1910 Mabel
Swenson, his daughter, was seriously
ill in Minneapolis. Mr.. Swenson found
it impossible to return to the city for
a visit and so sent for her to Join
him in Europe. Although it was be-
lieved the change would result in her
recovery she became worse and died
en- route from Nov York to Plymouth
and was buried in Berne, Switzerland.
Henry Sherman Boutel, who will
be the new minister to Switzerland,
formerly represented one of the Chi
cago congressional districts and was
a died-in-the-wool stand-patter. At
the last election his district under
went violent political revolution with
the result that Mr.. Boutell was obliged
to seek other fields than the hall of
congress.

There's a reason" and it is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final
