Salts, Calomel and Cathartic
Pills act on bowels as pep
per acts in nostrilS.

Take a Cascaret tonight and thor
oughly cleanse your Liver, Stomach
and Bowels, and you will surely feel
great by morning. You men and
women who have headache, coated
tongue, can't sleep, are bilious, ner-
vous and upset, bothered with sick,
gassy, disordered stomach, or have
backache and feel all worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets-or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
salts, cathaTtic pills or castor oil?
This is important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and
foul gases: take the excess bile from
the liver and carry off the constipated
waste matter and poison from the in
testines and bowels.
Remember, a Cascaret tonight will
straighten you out by morning. A 10

Once when Judge J. Upshur Dennis
was abroad he visited the Duke Of
Westminster's estate, Eaton Hall, in
Chester He went unceremoniously
enough and directly to the stables. He
was told by the person who looked
after those horses Of august blood and
breeding extraordinary that they could
not be viewed except by permission in
writing of the duke.
Judge Dennis had passed the duke
on the road going up to London. Any
way, he had no intention of asking per-
mission in writing. He leaned over
the paddock gate and looked at the
horses inside.
He saw a gray horse that attracted
him, and he remarked to the keeper of
the place that that particular horse Qn-
dicating) must have in him double
cross of Ch:tnticleer, a famous race
horse that lived 600 or 800 years ago.
1t was indeed true. and his remark
established all the freemasonry needed
for day in the stable. Judge Dennis
told his guido more about the horses
than the keeper of the stable archives
knew himself. = : He traced relations
here and identified crosses there.

were destroyed" the stable steward
told the visitor when the tour of the
stables was completed, you. sir, could

SIGNALS TO THE PITCHER.
Catcher Robinson Kept His Secret For
Twenty Years.

Twenty Years.
There was one catcher who worked
a long time before any one caught his
signals. That was Wilbur Robinson.
He backstopped twenty years without
ever having an opposing player dis
cover what he was signaling for.
One day st. Louis was playing Balti-
more. Robinson was catching for the
Orioles. Harry Kane, a st. Louis
pitcher. was lying on the bench while
his team was at bat. Kane suddenly
sat up. He said he could see Robin
sons signs. Joe Sugden was with st.
Louis. Sugden crawled over to where
Kane had been. He could plainly see
Robinson's signs. He interpreted the
system in a few moments and put the
st. Louis coacher wise.
Sugden, lying on the bench, used a
program for a fan. When Robinson
signaled for a fast ball Sugden waved
the program and the man on the coach
ing line yelled. Come on" to the bat
ter. Any time Robinson asked for a
curve Sugden lowered the fan and the
coacher yelled Nail itw to the batter.
Robinson knew they were getting the
signs, but he could not guess how. And
the funny part Of it was that st. Louis
after getting Robinson's signs after
every other club he played against had
failed to get them was beaten by Bal

GROSS RECEIPTS
ARE ABOVE 100000
Municipal Light Plant Will
Close a Prosperous Year
on December 81.

An estimate of the gross receipts of
the municipal light plant was made
this morning by City Controller McMa-
han, who stated that the receipts
would probably run between 100000
and 5000, judging from the present
receipts of the plant and the probable
receipts for the two heaviest months,
November and December. The total re-
ceipts of last year were $83,005.
1t is believed that next year the
gross receipts of the plant will exceed
100000. According to the state law,
when corporation owned by the city.
which furnishes light or water, has
gross receipts that amount to 100000
the city is entitled to a city treasurer.
The question which is now puzzling
the city officials is whether or not they
can have the office instituted at the
next election, because the receipts Of
the plant will reach the required mark
during the administration of the candi-
dates elected next fall.

One of the bills before the legisla-
ture is a measure that has previously
aroused controversy in that body. 1t
provides that the railroads in this
state should issue an interchangeable
mileage book good on all railroads in
Vermont, which now sell mileage at
two cents per mile. The. bill was in
troduced in the Senate by Senator Big
wood of Chittenden, and in the House
by Mr. Hulett of Rutland. There is
no question as to the desirability OF
such a law and absolutely the only
argument advanced against it is that
it may be unconstitutional. This is
always the argument which railroads
and other corporations use to try to
kill off desirable legislation. The leg
islature might, at least, let the SUI
preme court say, rather than take the
interested opinion of the railroad law

had TO contend not merely with the

Do Men Represent Women

Men do not represent women. No
class has ever, in the history of the
world, proved itself equal to legislat-
ing extraordinarily justly-for
any other class. A man legislating
as class for woman as a class has
been no exception to the universal
rule.
Men, making and interpreting laws
for women as well as for themselves,
were over a hundred and fifty years
in deciding that the word youth"
might include girls as well as boys,
and the free-school system OF the
country might be as widely utilized
by girls as by boys. 1t took a period
much longer for the beginning of the
doctrine of equal pay for equal work
10 be even lisped.
Men, making and interpreting laws
for women as well as for themselves,
were an astonishingly long time in
reaching the doctrine that woman's
property is ever so remotely her
own. 1t was less than twenty years
ago-in 1S94-that a sheriff waited at
the NHuAGn uOOi Vi Il wi AoAh AONh "a
Kentucky for the conclusion of a
marriage ceremony; that ceremony
would make the woman's property the
mans without any further ado about
it and the sheriff, having a judgment
for debt against the man. waited in or
der to be able to seize at once the
most available piece of the brides
property. 1t happened to be the brid-
al coach and horses.
Men, legislaing for women as well
as for themselves, have not at all uni
versally decided that mothers
guardianship rights in her children
are equal to a fathers. In not all the
states are the rights of parents equal
yet; and it was not until 1898 that
the law in New York State recogniz-
ed the mothers rights in her children
as equal to the father's.-Anne = o.
