Sam Venerable. an aged colored
man, for so years familiar figure in
Paris, died at his home in this city.
writes Tom Bodine, in the Paris MOI
Mercury, and 1t is not out of place
to say that former Paris people, wher-
ever they be, will pause with little
touch of regret on reading the an
nouncement. Sam stood for much that
was distinctive in the life of the old
er Missouri towns like Paris 40 years
ago, and is enshrined in the memory
of a multitude. He was hideously
ugly. yet very beautiful by reason Of
the unfailing courtesy he showed on
all occasions. Sam liked everybody
and could be happy under the direst
circumstances.
Back In the days when cordwood
was not a curiosity he officiated at
every woodpile In Paris. and his COM

IMPERIAL PATRIOTISM IN CAN
ADA

Canada has twice rejected re.
ciDrocity offered by the United
States says the Tacoma tribune
Once by popular vote, under the
feverish excitment of Imperial pa
triotism, provoked by protected IN
terests to save their monopoiies.
Now it is by the Parliament elected
then under the same influence, but
without the same popular support
now. All the Western Provincial
legislatures, by whichever party
dominated, have favored ratification
of free wheat by the Dominion Far
lament.
For a generation Canada clamored
for reciprocity with the United States.
Then it would have been OF less
value to either, since both sold raw
materials for world prices, and EURO
Dean manufacturers were cheaper
than American. Now each has
market at times for the natural pro-
ducts of the other, and low duties
on American manufactures "ouIo
benefit the Canadian consumer.
But in the meantime group OF spec
ial interests has grown up there,
with the war cry Of British loyalty.
In the meantime also, great West
has grown up in Canada, with IN
c1easing population. unlimited pro-
duction Of gain and cattle, and
eager interest for a market IN the
United States to buy and sell in, ana
to use for competitive transportation
to the world. Both refusals of the
gift of reciprocity injured this grow
ing part OF the dominion, and the
second has inCenSed it.
The party ir power in Canada is
playing with fife. This policy will
ALLEVIATE the West from it and end
its chance to conduct the govern
me.lt.

Seven of Americas Best Doctors En-

Take Place of CalOmel.

Dangerous calomel's place is now
taken by Dodson's Liver Tone safely
and reliably, according to seven OF
the most noted and highest priced
physicians in the United States, after
careful analysis. These physicians
always command huge fees and in
this consultation were paid for their
best skill.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a palatable
vegetable-iqui6, with easy and natu-
raj action, and is sold and guaran-
teed by Tanner Drug Co., who will
refund purchase price (5Oc) in
stantly without question if it does
not prove satisfactory in every way.
There is not only no danger in
taking this reliable remedy, but it
causes no grippe, no pain and the af-
ter-effects are pleasant instead Of dis
agreeable, as with ealomel. Dodson's
Liver Tone interferes in no way with
your regular duties, habits and diet.
Instead. it actually builds and
strengthens you so that you feel hap
pier, brighter, better and healthier.
