ToDAY's BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

The Grand Duchess Olga, eldest
daughter of the Car of Russia, is six
teen years old today. She is one of
the most interesting misses in Europe
not even excepting her relative the
Princess Victoria of Germany, for
both of these young daughters of
great-power rulers are reported en-
gagged to be married.
The Grand Duchess Olga is delight
fully unassuming in manner. She has
been trained in the domestic sciences.
and the finishing touches are also be-
Ing put upon her classical education
Unlike many royal young people she
Is not fond Of languages, but she
likes sports and music and is quite
a needlewoman. She says she never
expects TO live outside Of Russia and
as she knows Russian and French
she does not care to learn any other
languages.
If the Grand Duchess were com
PEELED to make her living, she prob
aDly would grow to be a dangerous
rival Of Alphonsie, Demay and the
otner great milliners Of Paris for she
/ trims hats very artistically. She hates
feathers, but likes artificial flowers,
which she Is an expert at making. The
| Grand Duchess says. however, she
would design her models and SUPER
intend their making, but she would
not sew, for she has very beautiful
mands and is frank enough to say
that she does not like to do anything
that mars their attractiveness. She
| Is frank to the point OF "blankness," !"
trait she is said to have inherited
from her grandmother, who is a sister
of the Queen Dowager Alexandra of
England.

SHE TOLD.

If brevity is the soult of wit, one
of the wittiest speeches on record
was made by a woman, says the
Philadelphia Record. Mrs. Briggs
lived in the northern part of Indiana,
a long distance from any village.
Hearing that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin
was to preach in a township some
twenty miles distant, she resolved to
be present. and. as no other way af-
fcrded, she walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this. and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
it showed that at the close of the
sermon he mentioned the fact to the
congregation, and called upon Mrs.
Briggs to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the

NATURES CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness of this statement. The
cause is always from an inward
source, neUer an outwward inRu-
ence, and therefore the only possi-
ble way to get rid of these places is
to take internal treatment. Pure
blood is the one unfailing cure for
chronic ulcers; just as long as the
circulation is allowed to remain in
an impure condition the place wilI
be kept open from the constant dis
charge of impurities into it from
the blood. But pure blood will
change this condition and the flesh
tissues will be nounshed and made
healthy, and then nature will
promptly and permanently heal the
ulcer. S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers
and therein lies its power to cure
old ulcers and sores. 1t goes into
the circulation, and remoues euey
trace of impurity or infectious mat
ter, and so enriches this uital fluid
that it nourishes all flesh tissues III
stead of irritating them with impuri-
ties. When S. S. S. has cleansed
the blood and the place has healed
over it is not a surface cure, but the
entire ulcer is filled in with healthy
flesh. Book and medical advice free.
S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.

MiIton's Natural History.

The pigeons that found nesting
places in St. Paul's cathedral were
probably the only species of bird with
which Milton was familiar in his early
years unless we make an exception
of the ubiquitous sparrow. He went
in his SEVENTEEN year to Cambridge.
where he made acquaintance with the
sedgy flats of the Cam and took as
much interest in birds and flowers.
beasts and trees as his greater interest
at that age in literature and philoso-
ply would permit: But for him the
most accurately obsefvant period of
life for nature study was Over-the
period of from eight to sixteen years
of age-and he therefore fell into mis-
takes in his use of imagery and de-
scription Of natural objects. He strews.
for example. the laureate hearse of Ly-
cidas with flowers that are not all in
bloom at the same season; he gives
the lark's nest a thatched roof. and
he calls the honeysuckle eglantine.-

Leaps of the Salmon.

Extraordinary stories are often told
of the wonderful leaps by which salm-
on ascend waterfalls. Professor II.
B. Ward has studied the salmon Of
southeastern Alaska. and he says that
these fish do not choose a particular
point Of attack in endeavoring to SUR
mount fall. They show remark
able lack of accuracy as well as Of
defniteness in their movements. When
trying to ascend a fall they sail
through the air. with the body rigid
and the fins spread and held tense, and
the instant the momentum of the jump
is lost. they impart a rapid and power
full vibration to the tail, and this oc-
ours whether the jump is successful or
not. If the fish reaches solid water at
the top of the fall this motion insures
the maintenance Of its position. In
open water they jump sidewise instead
Of lengthwise. and there Is no move
ment Of the tail.

that one though.
1t was the year l was holding down
sack No for Plymouth in the Corn
Belt league. and it happened right on
our team, with Dan Moran, our first
baseman, and Harry Nolan, our star
pitcher. doing the heavy work. The
third party was Julia Moriarty, as
pretty girl as ever sat in grand
stand-and a hot fan too. She knew
the batting averages of every man on
the team and followed the league race
as close as anybody. She knew lot
more about baseball than plenty of
managers I've seen.
1t was such a close thing between
Moran and Nolan that il looked as
though it might go extra innings. She
treated them both alike. and they got
to hating each other like poison. 1t
seemed to spur them on, though, in
stead of making them fall down in
their playing.
Moran was putting up a swell game
at the first station, getting them high
and low and out to one side, besides
clOuting the leather at a point-three
clip. Nolan had an edge on him at
that. After he got to going good he
made it plain enough that he was no
common bush league pitcher and that
he had future if he took care of him
self. He was the best twirler in the
league easy. and after awhile he got
so that he won about every game he
pitched. He came to be kind of idol
among the Plymouth fans. and it
swelled him up some too.

Things ran along this way until here
we were at the end Of the season and
the race for the rag still up in the air.
The Corydon bunch and us was so
close together that it would take the
closing series of three games to decide
it. The series was to be played at

SENTIMENT FAVORS
THIRD ANNUAL FAIR
No Disposition Manifested
to Abandon the FL Paso
Fair Project.

Ell Paso will have another fair this
fall The directors of the 1910 fair, the
financial report of which has been
made by president c. N Bassett and
secretary Frank Rich, are talking Of
the third annual fair and there seems
TO be no disposition to abandon the
fair because of the small deficit which
was caused by unpaid subscriptions
and a shortage in attendance. A num-
Der of the delinquent subscribers have
promised to pay their subscriptions.
providing another fair was held, and
other public spirited citizens have vol
unteered TO subscribe to the fair fund.
If the fair association is recognized
to give third fair, there is no doubt
but that c. \. Bassett will be offered
the presidency of it without opposi-
ton. The same will be true of secre-
tary Frank Rich if he can spare the
time from his theatrical enterprises to
attend to the duties of the position of
secretary. No new Improvements will
be necessary at the fair grounds this
year and it is thought that an arrange
ment can be made with the city by
which a part of the annual rent on the
park may be deducted for the fair
week, so that the fair association
which is a public enterprise, will moi
have to pay any rent for the fair
grounds during the week ofJthe fair.

URGES LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE To
PUSH LAWS
Judge Sweeney Offers Sug
gestion at Luncheon for
Pushing Local Laws.

FL Paso should have representative
in Austin during the sessions Of the
state legislature to look after the in
terests of the city and county. This
was judge J. U. Sweeney's suggestion
to the chamber of commerce at the
business mems luncheon Thursday.
Such a representative would not be
a lobbyist, but a delegate from the bus
mess interests of the city and county
to assist the representative and sena-
tor in preparing data to submit TO the
committees, keep the interested people
of Ell Paso informed as to the status
OF the legislation being considered and
to watch the interests of the city in
everything that develops at the state
capitol
such a suggestion is not reflec-
ton on our representative and senator
at Austin judge Sweeney said Sen
ator Hudspeth is one Of the big men Of
the state and representative McGown
is enc Of the most active men IN the
lower house. But they are both busy
with their roll calls, meetings, commit
tee sessions and the other business OF
the legislature They have little time
for the purely local phases of the leg
islation which comes up at the 1egls-
lature Such a representative as L
suggest would naturally add to the
amount Of good legislation that would
be enacted. Other cities have repre-
sentatives at Austin in such a ca
pacfty and Ell Paso should have one
During the past year the city has had
occasion to send at least 40 men to
Austin at different times in the inter-
est of various bills before the legisla-
ture.
II myself. have been there eight
times The trips Of these committees
has cost no less than $4,000 or 100000
This would have been saved II we nad
had a representative there to gather
data, keep us informed and work ana
assist the representatives
Judge Sweeney outlined the new mn
ing law which was framed from the
Hudspeth and Turney bills and showed
the good points of the compromise Dill
He said that the passage OF the Dill
was almost certain and that Gov Col
Quit had promised him that he would
sign it if it was a liberal measure,
which. he was assured the mining Dill
was. The passage Of the bill, judge
Sweeney said. would mean the increase
of the mineral production Of the state
by more than 100 percent

dining room of the Sheldon, the grill
room having proved too small to ac-
commodate the crowd that has been at

Who Are ssThev.n

We all have a way of saying they
say this or that of some person, or
some thing and accepting it ourselves
as authentic when someone says they
say 20 US.
But if we stopped to inquire into the
exact source Of the informa ton, either
we would be unable TO trace it back
to anyone other than that elusive in
dividual 'They Say" or we win find
back Of it the unkind gossip of some
eneny.
Ans just because "they say" fails
to put the blame Of a falsehood on any
one persons shoulders it really is the
most dangerous Of statements and one
of the hardest TO refute.
So let US beware Of believing they
say" stories Let US treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words ''tney
say" Or if this gossip makes US sus-
pfcaous Of its object-and 1t is natural
and human that il should at times
let us suspend judgment until We
KNOW. In other words, let US do the
object of they say" the justice to
investigate until we find someone who
is in a position from actual knowl-
edge and whom we can trust, to make
a positive statement. over his own
name as to the truth or falsity OF the
they say story.
The writer has been led to pen this
little lesson in practical fairness By
reading a little book issued by the
Coca-CoIa Company, Of Atlanta, Ca
entitled ''Tne Truth About Coca
Cola That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for so long been the
subject of they say" stories in which
all manner of untrue and detrimental
things about Coca-Cola have been cir
culated that the manufacturers have
been forced to issue their book giving
authentic information about this bev-
erage. And the Information therein
contained does not rest its case on any
they say statements. but bases its ar
guments on analyses and statements OF
chemists and scientists occupying the
highest positions in America.
This is a most interesting books
fine study in dignity in refuting false
hoods--and a book Of information that
all should read You viii find it well
worth your while to write and ask the
Coca-Co1a Company, Atlanta. Ca. TO
send you a free copy.
