Rebuke for acknowledgment An
cry at Baron Menchikoff
for His "Undignlfied
Comparisons"

st. Petersburg.-While Russia is a
frequent and large borrower among
the nations of the earth, Emperor
Nicholas, according to statement
presented to his majesty by the impe-
rial treasurer general, Is the richest
man in the world. The statement is
couched in fanciful language, but the
facts which 1t recites are said by st.
Petersburg bankers to be beyond dis
puta.
Your majesty" says Baron Menchi-
koff. need have no fear of ever COM
ing to suffer the stings of poverty.
Financially you are solvency itself.
With one hand you could buy out the
American multimillionaires, Rockefel-
Ter and Morgan. and still have suffi-
cient In the other to talk business
with Baron Rothschild. Or. II you
prefer. you can take over the Krupps.

Farms for Children.

Perhaps the smallest farms In the
world, each four by eight feet. have
been devised by Mrs. Henry Parsons
for the international Children's School
Farm league. and demonstrated In
New York. Each child becomes owner
of his diminutive farm. in which he
works. grows and harvests seven diff
ferent kinds of vegetables. and these
are borne by him in triumph to his
family. About each farm Is an 1S-inch
path. which he keeps In order; under
his instructor 1t becomes a tiny OBJ
ject lesson In good roads.

Schooner Reaches a California Port
With the BIubber Dangling From
Its Rigging.

San Francisco. Cal.-Of all fish
yarns brought to this port recently.
the one brought In by the coastjng
schooner James H. Bruce Is a prize
winner. Moreover. 1t is true. and
there is further evidence than the
mere word of the jolly sea dogs that
their ship ran into and killed huge
whale Portions of the carcass OF the
unfortunate mammal were still visible
on the forecastle and headgear of the
schooner when she came in the other
day. Huge pieces of blubber dangled
from the stays and parts of the fore
rigging.
Captain Rosich and his crew explain
that the strange incident occurred the
other night, when the schooner was
on Point Reyes. Laden with a cargo
OF lumber from Port Gamble, the wind
Jammer was sailing along at lively
clip. with fresh breeze astern. when
suddenly shock ran through the ves-
sel. The impact was not sharp or
heavy enough to have been caused
by collision with another craft. and
the crew was beginning to believe
that 1t had passed over a submarine
disturbance. when the lookout came
dashing aft over the deck load to give
them the surprising news that the
ship had struck whale.
He must have been sleeping" said

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to
restrict activity and exercise is re-
sponsible for the constipated condition
OF most elderly people. The wear of
years impairs the action OF the bow
els and the digestive organs are more
sensitive to the demands upon them
and rebel more quickly. Cathartics
and purgatives are violent and dras-
tic in their action and should not be
used to correct constipation. A mild.
yet positively effective remedy. and
one that is recommended by physi-
clans as well as by thousands who
have used 1t, is the compound of sim
pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell over
thirty years ago and now sold by drug
gists everywhere under the name of
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. DR..
Caldwell wants everyone troubled with
constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and
will send trial bottle. free of charge.
