well up in the list of candidates voted
/ for. he fell short of making a furmid-
able showing against Mr.. Taft. AS
permanent chairman of the Republic
an national convention of 1894 he was
| a popular figure in that gathering and
was offered the nomination for vice
president by the leaders, but declined
! i, saying that he regarded the Speak
erShip as a more important office.
The leaders then agreed on Charles
w. Fairbanks.
Mr. Cannons friends have always
insisted that the meme who led the
insurgent movement against him were
for the, most part actuated by person
al disappointments. The story is told
of one insurgent Congressman from
New England, who admitted that he
became an insurgent because Speaker
Cannon had refused to permit one of
his pet measures to go through the
House, even after President RooSe-
welt had recommended it. All the
while Mr.. Cannon is reported to have
had in his possession letters from
Roosevelt tending to show that Roose-
welt and Cannon were in thorough ae-
cord as to the merits of the bill and
that neither of them wanted it to
pass. -.s.s

him with q smile on his grim features
and told him that he never gave out
private correspondence. But some
Of the Republicans in the House be-
lieVe that they can read in the in
tense hostility to Roosevelt on the
part Of his whilOm admirer, Repre-
sentative Augustus Peabody Gardner,
the story Of how at least one insurg-
ent found himself when he woke up
to just what had happened to his i'm
migration bill.
Uncle Joe Cannon has in recent
years been held up as a horrible ex-
amplc--a man with horns. By many
who do not know him he is regarded
as Il dcyotec Of nearly all the small
vices II is little wonder that many
people have marvelled that one sup
posed to be so careless about his
habits has lived to such a fine old
age
But Uncle Joe has been misunder-
stood. He makes no cOnCealment Of
his habits. He doesn't drink whiskey.
Here again the popular idea Of this
ripe old political character is shat
tered. Uncle Joe can't drink whiskcy.
He undoubtedly would if he could and
liked it, but he cant.

A rollicking college song rang
out from the formidable, buster
ing mob bearing Adolphus in tri-
umph from the scene.
A favorite all around, the
young man was settled for life;
and happy bridegroom in the
bargain, few weeks later.
That was not all of it. The
humorist hunted up Adolphus to
get back his manuscript. The
one he had taken by mistake he
claimed had saved the day for
him. It's sentiment and classical
tinge had just caught the au-
dience. 1t gave him a great repu-
tation for versatility, and the lee
ture bureau had raised his pay.
He hired Adolphus on the spot to
write him a series of lectures in
the same vein, and this work re-
suited in some substantial pin
money for his delighted little
wife.

Adolphus began to read. He
had not proceeded ten lines before
he realized that the humoriSt was
an adept in his line. There were
only ten basic jokes in the world,
he claimed, and the ancients orig
mated them all. With exquisite
wit and finish the manuscript eX-
patiated on these.
AS Adolphus proceeded there
were grim smiles, then outlaws.
At decided interruption the lee
turer looked up in his mild, as
tonished way, to observe the
room convulsed, with jolly men
laughing till the tears came into
their eyes. One student was so
overcome that he had fallen to
the floor in a spasm of uproarous
hilarity.
The jokes were funny, but
there was an added zest to the ap-
preciativeness of the audience.
This was the solemn, owl-like Sc
robustness of the lecturer. To
Adolphus it was no fun. All this
was trivial as compared with his
own high literary screed. Be
sides that, his province was to in
struct, not to amuse, and the fac
ulty might criticize.
With wild whoops the crowd
made a rush for Adolphus as he
folded up his manuscript. Four

 Before took Cardui. I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think 1t is the greatest medicine on earth"
 In the past fifty years, thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. McGiil, to tell of the benefit received from Cardui.
 Such testimony, from earnest women. surely indicates the great value of this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
 Cardui is the medicine you need.
