"CASCARETS" BEST
BOWEL CLEANSER
No Biliousness, Headache, Sick, Sour
Stomach, Indigestion, Coated
Tongue or Constipation.

Fured tongue, bad taste, indigestion
sallow skin and miserable headaches
come from q torpid liver and cloggcd
bowels, which cause your stomach TO
become filled with undigested food, which
sours and fcrments like garbage in a
swill barrel. That's the first step to
untold DISQUALIFICATION, foul gases,
bad breath, yellow skin, mental fears,
everything that is horrible and nauseat.
ing. A Cascaret tonight will give your
eonstipated bowels thorough cleansing
and straighten you out by morning.
They work while you sleep-a lO.cent
box from your druggist will keep you
feeling good for months. Millions of
men and women take a Cascaret now
and then to keep their stomach, liver
and bowels regulated, and never know
a miserable moment. Don't forget the
children--their little insides need good,
gentle cleansing, too.--Advt.

One day when the editor felt sin
spired" to read the manuscript he had
taken home he looked for 1t in bis

less gone to the dumping ground,
whence 1t would not be recovered. He
wrote her at once to know IL she had
another copy. since he wished friend
on whose literary judgment he greatly
relied to read the story and had not
yet finished 1t himself. She replied
that she had given him the only copy In
existence.
The six months that followed were
wearing on the editor. For that period
he put the little authoress off with ex.
cuses. Then. there being no other way
out Of the trouble-at least SO he put II
to hImself-he asked her to marry him.
When she refused him she took away
his last prop. He had faint hope
that the estrangement which usually
comes between a man who has been
refused and the lady who has refused
him would lead the little authoress to
keep away from him and the lost
manuscript would In time be forgotten.
But she continued to call for 1t In per
son. always with the same good natur.

delay. and every time she left him he
assured her that by the time she came
again he would surely be ready to give
her his literary opinion on her work
and did not doubt that It would be &C
cepted by the magazine.
The lady's refusal of him made him
cognizant Of the fact that she was
much more to him than he had sup
posed. After a month more of mental
distress he confessed to the loss of the
manuscript and that he couldn't pos
sibly live without her.
She clapped her hands In glee. And

said. Friends of mine had sent you

Berlin, Feb. 25.-Further extracts

the magazine Nord and Sud. Some Of
these are as follows:
Countless divorces and scandals in
Europe and Ameria show that many

''The West entirely misapprehends the

PRESIDENT Elect Wilson Now
Makes a Formal Announce
ment of His Purpose
OMITS MENTION OF
HIS OTHER PLANS
Must Await His Message
Bryan Still Seems Sure
To Head Cabinet

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 25.-President
elect Wilson announced yesterday thai
the extra session of Congress would b.
convened on April |.
In reply to question President-elect
Wilson said
II will make no announcement of the
subjects that / will recommend for con,
sideration by the extra session until
after | get to Washington--in fact until
send in my message to the extra ses-
sion"
| 1t is assumed that tariff revision VIII
be urged, and it is believed probable
that currency reform will be suggested
as subject for simultaneous legisla-
ton. Gov. Wilson said he had waited
before setting the date. for the extra ses-
sion until he learned the "state of pre-
paredness" of Congress. The informa-
tion on this point, he said, had been
sent to him by Representative Under
wood
Gov. Wilson said he understood a
caucus of House Democrats to select a
ways and means committee would be
held March 5.
Although Gov. Wilson continued yes
terday to maintain absolute silence re-
garding his cabinet and regarding the re-
ports of friction between him and Will
liam j. Bryan over the single term plank
of the Democratic platform and the per-
sonnet of his official family, it was
stated here on apparently reliable au-
thority that Bryan would be secretary of
state, that instead of there being fric-
ton between Wilson and Bryan there
was the utmost harmony and cordiality.
1t was learned that Gov. Wilson and
Col. Bryan had been in constant commu-
nication for months and that there has
not arisen any disagreement between
them. The reports that Bryan was seek
ing to dictate to Wilson as to cabinet
selections and that his own acceptance OF
a cabinet place was made dependent on
the appointment of certain other men for
whom he was demanding places were
said to be without foundation.
1t was further learned that the single
term question was not at issue between
Bryan and Wilson. Instead of being the
foundation of differences, as reported,
it was said to have been eliminated by
Bryan himself. 1t is even reported that
it was Bryan who was responsible for
the shelving OF the six-year term resolu-
ton in the house.
The Wilson cabinet is not yet COM
plete in the mind of the governor. ac-
,ording to the belief expressed in Tren-
ton. It was thought there were still
three or four places in regard to which
GOV. Wilson was still undecided though |
his present problem is believed to be
rather that of the distribution of the
line posts than that of personnel.

Cabinet gossip is mixed with congress
sional discussion and Democrats who
have been confident that they could
name a majority of the members of Mr..
Wilson's cabinet are not so sure. Ru-
nors of differences between President
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan are in eircula-

What would be generally regarded as

queried the former.
Well-they began to enumerate them

thorne and Emerson houses in Concord

Cambridge, Poe's cottage in Fordham,
Cooper's palace, 0tsego hall, at Coopers-
town; Bryant's modest residence east of
the Berkshires at Cunmington; the Tick

The Little
Authoress
By WILLARD BRAKEMAN

Walter Ewing had just that kind o
suavity that is required of the edito
of a magazine. When authors came III
with their manuscripts he would grasl
them cordially by the hand, smile upor
them, ask them to be seated and lister
to their long talks about what they
had TO offer
One day the prett1est little girl in the
world was admitted to Mr.. Ewing

not only to beat the one with which he
greeted her. but. In slang phrase. ito

for her close to his rosewood desk and
relieved her at once of package she
carried by which he knew her for an
authoress. Then he brought his ex.
pressive eyes upon her as If to say:
"Do tell me what can do for you.

must have, the characters In her work,

talked, the editor listening rather to
her sweet voice than what she said--he
had heard It all thousand times be-
fore-sometimes fancying that she was
a bird that had flown into his sanctum
TO rest him from the hardest work In
the worid--that Of reading one manu-
script after another through the long
day.
