Exceedingly Busy.

He who draws a compensation
For the work of legislation
Must not hope to find sinecure serene.
He must hustle in conventions;
He must listen to contentious
And prepare opinions for magazine
The stenographers get dizzy
AS he keeps their notebooks busy
With the many trains of thought that
he can start.
For his oratory reaches
Into such a sum Of speeches
That he hasn't time to learn them all by
heart.
He must watch the demonstrations
That take place in distant nations
And discuss them in a philosophic vein.
To his speeches economic
He must add some touches comic
Just to show his nature has a human
strain.
He must dictate, he must scribbie.
Till he scarce has time to nibble
At a biscuit, as the pangs of hunger
creep.
Such q record he is making
That he's bravely undertaking
To acquire the art Of talking in his
sleep!

The Financial Situation.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
1t is gratifying to know that the ad-
ministration in Washington Is keeping
in touch with the business condition all
over the country, and we presume 1t is
for this reason that the Secretary of the
Treasury made the announcement that
currency up to $5O0.OOOOOO will be issued
upon application under the Aldrich-Vree-
land act. Actual money conditions do
not show why the announcement was
made. The prevailing unsettlement of the
financial markets is not caused by the
currency famine. The Aldrich-Vree-
land act was meant to deal with such a
situation as occurred in 1907, when there
was a demoralized demand for cash: and
it Is generally conceded that the act is
admirably adapted to stop the spread of
an acute boarding mania. The situation
with which finance is now dealing bears
no resemblance to such critical juno
ture

Our Literary Diplomats.
Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The golden age Of literary diplomats has
returned. Walter II. Page is already
comfortably installed at the court of ST.
James and appears to fancy his berth;
it is reported that DR.. Henry Van Dyke
is to be appointed minister to the Meth
erlands and Meredith Nicholson to some
other foreign post while Thomas Nelson
Page Is to go to Italy. The brothers Of
the pen are thus to be afforded another
If not too tempting-source of income.

Vacation.
From the Toledo Blade

Some one has said very wisely that the
essence of rest consists in a change of in
terest. 1t does not really matter greatly
if the vacationist has a happy time of
it or experiences disappointment What
does matter Is that he has climbed out
of the rut and journeyed over parts of
the road Of life that are fresh to him.
That is why the city man profits best in
vacation time by going to the country
and the farmer gets rest by going to
the city.

Some Day, Sometime, Perhaps

From the Boston Transcript.
Uncle Sam is going to take over the
residences of the late cliff jewellers in
southwestern Colorado. Doesn't it seem
strange to reflect that some day our
descendants will be making a large APP
preparation for the preservation of a
historic apartment house?

If YOU bruse your hand, you will no.
tice that a scab forms, and when it
falls off new skin has formed. Did
salvc do it? No! Skin is the same as
muscle, bone. sinew, ligament. All are
made from the blood from the ma
tclials that your stomach and intes-
tines convert from food into what we
call blood. And this blood circulates
in the myriad of tiny blood vessels in
the skin. Start from your stomach,
where blood materials begin, and it
won't be long before you are free of
eczema. Use S. s. S. for short time,
aud not only will eczema disappear,
hut lne entire blood will be renewed.
There is one ingredient in S. S. S.
VIII. h serves the active purpose of
stimulating each cellular part of the
ho8y to the healthy, judicious selection
nf its own essential nutriment. That
is why it regenerates the blood supply;
Why it has such tremendous influence
in overcoming eczema, rash, pimplcs,
and all skin Affections.
Get a bottle of S. s. S. at any drug
store, and you will not only feel bright
and energetic, but you will be the pic
ture of new life. S. S. s. is prepared
only in the laboratory of The Swift

He and Tom, on their way to the al

steps that led down from the outer

And a man was coming down those
