"THE GREAT PACFTCATOR."
Teddy Gets New Title on Visit TO Ar
gentine Republic.

Buenos, Aires, Nov. 13.-Enthusi-
asm towards the United States was
shown al the banquet given here last
night in honor of former President
Theodore Roosevelt, and the distin-
guished visitor himself was warmly
welcomed. The national hymns of
the United States and OF the Argen-
tine Republic were sung in a spirited
manner, while hundreds Of women in
the galleries threw great quantities
Of flowers down upon the floor of the
banquet hall as part of the applause
which followed Col. Roosevelts
speech.
NJ. Frers, a member of the House
OF Deputies, who delivered the
speech of welcome, referred to the
visitor as "the defender Of the integ-
rity Of the Americans" and after
paying him the tribute of having en-
tirely dispelled any feeling of suspi-
cion that may have lurked among the
Latin-American countries of the
friendly advances of the United
States, he said: I'VE will be justified
in calling him the great pacificator." +"
In his reply Col Roosevelt defend
ed the Monroe doctrine, explaining
that it was not an international law
but policy of the United States for
all America. He said times had
changed since the adoption Of that
policy, so that Argentine was now
great modern nation, which needed
no protection, and he added:
Il hope that the example Of the
Argentine Republic will be emulated
by all the other Latin-American re-
public, and that they will accept the
Monroe doctrine as the leading arti-
Gle of their policy"

HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY
Famous Actress Finds that n Healthy
Liver is Necessary to Good Looks
and YOuthfulness.

One Of the best known women of
the American stage is writing Sc
ries Of articles on the preservation Of
beauty. She attaches great import
ance to keeping the liver active at
all times, and she is right. Neither
good looks nor happiness will stay
long with any man or woman who
lets the liver get lazy and sluggish.
1t is not always safe to take Gallo
mel, the old liver remedy. Doctors
agree that it is a very uncertain
drug. But Bells drug store has a
remedy for sale that they guarantee
to take the place OF calOmel abso-
lutcly, and still be harmless, causing
no restriction Of habit or diet. This
remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re-
lievCs constipation and biliClsness so
promptly that it has become a de-
pendable remedy in thousands Of
homes in the United States. There
are scores Of families in this vicinity
who will not be without it in the
house, and who would not think Of
starting on trip without a bottle
Of it.
Bells drug store has sold so much
Dodson's Liver Tone that they are
convinced of it's merit and will give
any person his 80 cents back. who
buys a bottle and does not find that
it takes the place OF calomel TO per-
lection. adv.

(NeW York Herald.D


Tho last poem Joaquin Miller
wrote was composed by him Oh Fri

death was near.
"This is my last message to the

gave the pieces of paper on which he
had laboriously penciled these lines:
At Final Parting.
Could | but teach men to believe,
Could | but make small men to
grow,
About their thews and bind them
low.
Could | but sing one song and lay
Grim Doubt, then ! could go my
In tranquil silence, glad, serene,
And satisfied, from off the scene,
But. ah, this disbelief, this doubt
This doubt OF God, this doubt of
good
The damned spot will not out.
Would'st learn to know one little
flower.
It's perfume, perfect form and hue?
Yea, wouldst thou have one perfect
hour
or all years that come to you?
Then grow as God hath planned,
grow

AS He hath set his garden; be
Just what thou art, or grass or
tree.
Thy treasures up in Heaven laid,
Await thy sure ascending soul,
Life after lifc--be not afraid.

CHARGED WITH POISONING.


Hazlehurst, Ca, Nov. 12.-Patrick
Ursery has been arrested here on the
charge Of poisoning the entire family
of his bride in order to gain her in
heritance, and the town Is seething
with a sensation.
Shortly after Urserys marriage to
the daughter Of J. G. Ross, a wealthy
farmer, all the members Of the Ross
family were taken so i'll that it was
feared they would die. Circum-
ness seemed suspicious and ~ inves-
tigation was made by the family ply
sician.
1t is alleged an analysis Of the
the biscuits to contain a large guam
tity of strychnine. Further inyesti-
CATION it is said, pointed to Ursery
as having administered the poison to
were cooked.
Actions Called Unusual.
Ursery is declared to have purchas-
ed a bottle of strychnine last Satur-
day. On Sunday he and his wife and
infant child visited the Ross home.
While there, according to members
Of the stricken family, Ursery's ac-
tions were most unusual. 1t is said
that he pryed into everything in the
house, especially in the kitchen and
pantry, where the -four and uncook-
ed food was kept. Then suddenly
Ursery took his wife and baby away
from the Ross home without saying
when he would return.
According to Mrs. Ross, he told
her not to use the -four, new sack
Of which had lately been purchased
Monday morning Ursery unexpect-
edly appeared again at the Ross
home.
Whole Family Was Ill.
The entire family was writhing in
agony. Despite the protests Of his
wife that she might remain to attend
her parents in their illness, Ursery,
it is said, took her to his own home
Friends of the Ross family, learn
ing later Of Ursery's actions, began
an investigation of the case, which
resulted in his arrest.
In the county Jail Ursery denies
emphatically the charge against him.
He waived a preliminary examina-
ton and his bond was fixed at $5,-
900. He was unable to obtain this
amount and will remain in Jail.
Mr.. Ross and his family will re-
cover.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1T is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
tlammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Save Men by Killing Flies.

1t is now known as a scientific
fact that if man does not kill the
fly, the fly will kill the man. While
it is manifestly impossible that we
eXterminate the pest, and that the
flies will kill off the human race, it
is equally evident that we may de-
stroy millions of insects with but
little effort, while a single fly may
bring a fatal disease to an entire
family.
Fight the pest! Do not let one
stay IN the house, particularly in
the dining room. Screens are
cheap, and their use adds to COM
fort and health. Do not let the
slop bucket be a breeding place for
them. A tight covered garbage can
will prevent much of this evil. Re-
member that the fly is a child of
filth, lives on filth and breeds in
filth.
They visit filthy things during
the heat of the day, then swarm
to the house at night, and the next
morning are on hand to walk on
bread, cake, meat and sugar. They
wade in the butter and battle in
the cream.
The fly also visits the sick room
and thousands of cases of tubercu.
losis, cholera infantum and infan-
tile paralysis can be traced to it
