 Frances Evelyn, Countess of War wick, famous as a socialist and a. leader of movements for the better ment of the conditions of workers. was born ffty-two years ago to-day, the daughter of Col. the Hon. c. H. Maynard. She married the fifth Earl of Warwick in 1881, and Immediately became one of the .reigning beauties of English fashionable society. When her husband acceded to the earldom, and the Countess became the hostess at Warwick Castle, their re-entrance into society after a period Of mourn ing was marked by a fancy dress ball which surpassed. in 1avishness Of e1- penditure, anything of the kind ever given in England A bitter, enven- omed criticism of. this ball by Robert .Blatchford, editor of a Londen so- cfa1ist paper, which at first aroused the anger of Lady Warwick, resulted eventually in her acceptance Of the Marxian philosophy

Senator Gore, 43 Today,
 Blind Since 11th Year

In Mississippi the politicians take their politics very seriously, and, since dueIs with firearms are no longer in differences with their fists. A po- 1ittcal meeting that doesn't begin or end with ''rookus'' is considered g. very tame affair in the Mississippi hinterland. As no gentleman would fight with a blind man, Thomas Pryor Gore, who was later to win fame as United States senator from Oklahoma. found himself at a decid- ed disadvantage when he began his political career in his native Missis- sippi. On one historic occasion, when the youthful Gore was debating point of politics with Senator Herman came enraged at the ridicuIe heaped upon him by his verbal opponent, and shouted, eff you were not a blind man, I would whip you!" Gore, tear ing off his coat, answered, Well, tie a handkerchief about your eyes and wade right in.'' The 'rookuS' did not take place, for Senator Mon ey was so delighted with the spirit of the sightless youth that he led the applause that greeted this sally and congratulated the youngster on. his ''spunk.'' It was this fighting spirit which triumphed over terrible phys icaI disability and made Gore one of the leading statesmen of the republic. The Oklahoma SoIon was born in Webster county, Miss, forty-three years ago to-day. When he was eight years old he lost his left eye by be- ing accidentally struck with a stick by a playmate, and three years later the sight of the right eye was ex- tinguished by an arrow from cross low. Despite this handicap, MT. Gore graduated with honors from a normal school, taught school to earn the money to study law, and was not yet twenty-one when he was nom mated for the State legislature, but was obliged to withdraw on account of his minority as. .to age. At twen- ty-two he engaged in the practice of law, and removed to Texas a few years later, where he became noted as a PopuIist' orator, and was nom inated for Congress. Tn 1901 he re-
 moved to Oklahoma, where he was n member of the Territorial council. and, as a Democrat, was elected to the United States Senate.
 Since the days of Diodotus, who lived in Asia Minor before the begin hing of the Christian era and became famous as a philosopher and nathe- matician, thousands of blind people have attained fame and fortune, bCt there have been few statesmen in the liSt2 Perhaps theS hrst~was Alexan- der Rodenbach1 who was a leader in the Belgian Parliament about the middle of the last century, Like Sen s,tor Gore, he was afflicted with blind

tempted to buy bottle of Pe-ru-na

convincing talk, but l belong to a

medicine in any form. OF course We do
not attempt to deny the usefulness Of
medicine on some occasions, but for

the chest, blllousness, dyspepsia, any
one of these things Is liable to occur
at any time in such household
Now, such people ought to have Pc
ru-na. At the first symptom that pre-
sents itself, or any disturbance of the
body, a few doses of Pe-ru-na should
be taken. If the disease is acute Pc
ru-na should be taken a teaspoon
full every hour. If il is dis
turbance that allows the patient to go
about his usual business, taken &C
cording to the directions on the bot
tie is best. If this is done it will save
the people untold expense and suffer
ing. Not one case in fifty that comes
under the care of the doctor would oc-
cur if Pe-ru-na was kept in the house
and taken at the very outset of the
trouble. Yes, all this is true and more.
I have hoped all my life to live to
see the day when obedience to the
laws of Nature would be prevalent,
when the people would live so they
would not invite disease or provoke
disturbance in the body. But | have
not lived to see that day yet. I hardly
think I shall. But l have lived to see
the day when the people and even the
medical profession are very much

people to listen and become obedient
to the laws governing their bodies.
Now there are writers galore saying
the same things. I am profoundly
grateful that this is so.
So long as there are disobedient
ones, so long we must have medicine.
Even those who are trying to be ODE

their very best, need medicine for I'M

the circumstances l should advise
you to go right on as you have been
doing. Get along without medicine if
you possibly can. Look toward Nature
for assistance. Clean habits, frugal
diet. Early to bed, in a well ventilated
room. Work every day at something
you like to do. Keep up your enthusi-
asm. Have faith in Nature and Ma
lures God. The laws of Nature are in
exorable, but the rewards of Nature
are kind and beneficent beyond all ex-
preston. If you do these things you
may during your whole life escape the
with all this you may occasionally
need medicine
But you must remember that you
and your club are exceptional people,
that the great masses of people go on
thoughtlessly. Their diet is very ill fit
ted to sustain their bodies properly
Their exposure to cold and wet and
heat and fatigue is very reckless. In
short, they do not know how to take
care Of themselves. Consequently, a
medicine is necessary often.
The medicine Pe-ru-na is a climatic
medicine. It is intended to reach eli
matte troubles, troubles that arise as
the direct result of exposure TO eli

1t is also intended to meet those
difficulties which arise from improper
nourishment of the body and improper
diet, producing indigestion and bill

The principal climatic trouble in
our country is catarrh and a large
number of people have catarrh. Per
haps one-half of our people Such peo-
pie not only need to take care of them
selves as you boys are doing, but they
need medicine TO render them a little
assistance. Pe-ru-na is exactly what
they need.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
MADE HIS OWN SCHOOL.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

MOI every boy is IKE Cn1S one.
Frank Andrea Of Springfield, N J.,
aged fifteen, made a school for him
self
Many boys Of fifteen regard school
as sort Of necessary evil to be borne
because they cannot dispense with it.
Not SO young Andrea.
His father lost his job, and his moth
er became ILL. There were several 9th
err children, all Of whom were too
young to work.
Frank was compelled to quit school
and help support the family. He found
a job in a factory at Newark, walking
two miles to work every morning and
back again at night.
But
The idea Of leaving school troubled
him.
He went to the board of education Of
his town and asked the clerk what
chance there might be to attend a
night school.
There was no night school.
UNLESS there are a sufficient number
Of applications to show a sentiment In
favor Of It," said the clerk. mo night
school will be started"
How many applications are neces-
sary?" asked the boy.
He was informed that twelve or If
teen would be enough. whereat Frank
began to try to get that many. In
order to do so he had to convince
some of the working boys of their need
Of further schooling.
And
uganda an uphill task. He would say
to the boys, DO you want to be fac
tory hand all your life?' And some
Of them said they had no further am
bition.
Frank finally got fifteen Of his friends
to Join him.
"It is likely" says the report, that
a night school will be established in
Springfield
Surely.
But. whether or no. It is quite certain
Frank Andrea will not be a factory
hand all his life.
The republic spells opportunity.
As Garfield beautifully said. "Our so
ciety Is not like the society Of Europe.
where, like the strata Of the earth.
one layer holds the other firmly down;
but. rather. 1t Is like the waves of
the great sea. where the lowest drop
may rise and glisten on the topmost
wave"
Frank Andrea of Springfield, N. j.,
IL one Of those drops.
