THE PEEvISH CHILD

When a child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful. 1t is usually due to some slight
disorder OF the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle.
effective laxative stimulant is indt-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. CaidwelT's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation Is admitted.
ly the perfect laxative. being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and p%urgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy.
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at

Misunderstood Gator.

The winter afternoon was like June,
and, taking tea under a palm on the
lawn of the Royal Poinciana at Palm
Beach, a sportsman said:
This morning l photographed an
alligator. My boy, to get him, stripped
and waded into the water up to his
chin. The boy felt about with his
feet in the mud till he found a big
gator. Then he ducked down, grabbed
the gator by the nose and dragged
him slowly ashore to his waiting
lens"
But" said a girl in white, wasn't
1t dangerous?"
Not q bit"
But l thought alligators ate you!"
"No, no." said the sportsman. "You
are confusing the alligator with the
crocodile. The Indian crocodile eats
men and women, but the Florida alli-
gator is as harmless, literally as
harmless, as a cow"

GUGGENHEIMS MAKE
CALL ON THE PRESIDENT

Washington, April sPresident Taft
gave a hearing late yesterday on
Alaska and the prospects for its de-
velopment to Senator Guggenheim, Of
Colorado, his brother, Daniel Guggen-
helm, and several experts Of the Gug-
genheim company. Secretary Fisher
was present, and Vice President Sher-
man, at the invitation Of the president,
was an interested listener.
The Guggenheims were anxious to
know, 1t was said. what might be ex-
pected in the way of legislation that
would allow the development Of
Alaska's natural resources, and in par
ticular the coal.
They control the Copper River rail-
road, planned to tap the Boring coal
fields. For this road there is now
practically no traffic, and the opening
of the coal mines would insure big
tonnage. They were reported also in
favor Of Secretary Fishers plan to
build a government railroad in Alaska.
This road, IL built, would not compete
with the Copper River road.

PEARY is HONORED ON
ANNIVERSARYOF DISCOVERY

New York, April S.-Rear Admiral
Robert e. Peary, dfscoverer of the
north pole, is of the. opinion that both
Amundson, the Norwegian. and Captain
Scott, the Englishman. attained the
south pole. He expressed this view
last night in an address at a celebra-
ton marking the third anniversary of
his discovery, at which he was hon
ored by an unique medal made up in
part of a meteorite which he brought
from the Arctic regions in 1897.
Admiral Peary declared hat from
his study Of the competition between
Amundsen and Scott, he believed the
Englishman had also been successful
in reaching the south pole about the
middle of January, or about a month
later than Amundsen reached it.
The polar celebration was under the
auspices Of the Peary Arctic club, the
American Geographical society and the
American Museum OF Natural History.

Operation Shortly After
Easter Holidays.

London, April 0.-The miners,
federation this afternoon accepted
the Recommendation of the execu-
tive committee that the miners
should resume work az the result
OF n recent ballot and the miners
will be ordered to return to the pits
forthwith.
The decision Of the federation was
reached after a two and a half hours
controversy, which at times was in
tsnsely bitter, the extermeists charg-
ing executive pusillanimity in recon-
mending hat the men resume work be-
fore the district boards had yielded
to the miners schedule Of minimum
wages
The moderates, however, carried the
day, arguing that with $4,000 men al
ready at work n with double that
number ready to resume wOrk on
Monday, it would be hopeless to at
tempt to carry on the war. The reso-
luton accepting the recommendation
OF the executive committee was carried
by a vote Of 40 to lbs, and the COM
mittee sent instructions ordering the
resumption Of work. Some Of the ex-
tremist delegates threaten that the
miners in the north who still have
plenty Of funds In the union treasures
will break away from the federation
and refuse to resume work until the
minimum wage schedules have been
granted. Even If this Is true, 1t does
not alter the fact that the coal strike
as a national strike is now ended. It
would mean on the other hand a breach
in the soliditary of the miners fed

liers to paralyze half the trade Of the
