Finale of the Conkling Drama

who permitted very few men to main
tain intimate friendly relations with
him, looked upon Chamberlin as an
intimate friend, and often he and
General Arthur and the proprietor of
the famous restaurant would dine to-
gether, Chamberlin entertaining his
companions with anecdotes of famous
men with whom he was on terms of
friendship.
1T was about II o'clock, that night.

going to leave Washington by the mid

"Of course I felt honored by this
request, and l told Conkling SO; and
also said to him that l thought 500
was too small an amount for him to
start his law practice with, and that l
would rather lend him 81 900

Chamberlin. because. while he was
in the senate. he was practically en-
tirely dependent upon his salary as
senator for his support. His rooms in
Washington we're almost those of
hermit or an anchorite. They were
two in number, and very plain. one
serving as a bedroom, the other as a
study. The rental for them must
have been small; and | know that his
table expenses were small; he was al
most frugal there He had to make
his salary go round, and he had hard
work doing it. Yet he could have en-
joyed a handsome income had he
cared to do so. l know that he de-
clined several handsome retainers to
argue cases before the United States
Supreme court because he felt that
a senator could not be too scrupulous
about accepting retainers which in

thus he lived until he left Washing
ton practically penniless except for
the money loaned him"

Most cid people must give to
the bowels some regular help, else
they suffer from constipation. The
condition is perfectly natural. 1t is
lust as natural as it is for old peo-
pie to walk slowly. For age Is
never so active as youth. The
muscles are less elastic. And the
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascar-
cts. One might as we'll refuse to
aid weak eyes with glasses as to
neglect this gentle aid to weak
bowels. The bowels must be kept
active. This is important at all
ages, but never so much. as at
fifty.
Age is not time for harsh
physics. Youth may occasionally
whip the bowels into activity. But
lash can't be used every day.
What the bowels of the old need
Is a gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used with
out harm. The only such tonic is
Cascarets and they cost only 10
cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.
