LaFozIette, the Prophet.

While Senator La Toilette Of Wisco1-
sin vas making his famous railroad
spesch five years ago, Senators Aid
rich and Hale, TO show their contemp.
for the views being expressed, retired
TO tho cloak room. As they passed out
OF tho chamber La Toilette said:
"Mr, President. pause IN my re,
marks TO say this: ! cannot DO wholly
Indifferent 10 the fact that senators by
their absence Of this time indicate their
want Of interest IN what may have 10
say upon this subject. The public is
interested. Unless this important quos.
ton !g rightly settled, seats now tenn
porarily vacant may be permanently
vacated by those who have the right
10 occupy them at this time"
Again, while the tariff revision was
under discussion, La Follette was in
suited, and he said:
Il warn you that if you refuse to con-
sider every proposition advanced in
behalf of the public and carry out your
determination TO make this tariff leg
islation but the instrument by which
special interests may enrich them
selves by unjust exactions from the
public, the public will hold you re
sponsible and prove its resentment as
certainly as elections are held"
When the senate convened on April
4. La Follette's name was called and
he answered. But the names OF Aid
rich and Hale were not called.

Boston is certainly becoming the Of
fetal headquarters of the iconoclast.
One eminent professor declared that
woman Is a lower order of civilization
than man, and now comes another who
declares that the sacred Boston baked
bean is highly indigestible and not to
be recommended for food for any but
the day laborer. It is not probable,
however, that those learned professors
will be able to wean Boston. men away
from either women or beans.

especially severe at night, and when
l arose in the morning, was very
lame and sore. l became tired easi-

and was also subject to headaches
and dizzy spells. The kidney secre-

otherwise unnatural. Doan's Kidney

fine quality. He also brought in
