BILIOUS, HEADACHY, SICK ' CASCARETS' Gently Hieanse your liver and SNggIsh bowels while
 you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi hess, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in. testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con. gestion and that dull, throbbing. sick. ening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and pofsons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely Straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

That rolling stone among authors, Harry de Windt, tells the following good story of his adventures on the Yukon:
 One day he and partner" he had picked up in Dawson were going on q trip In midwinter. The cold was, of course, intense.
 Just as they were on the point of starting. his companion dumped Il number of hard, sharp=polnted articles in the sleigh, pitching them rather uneeremoniously on top of sack of oatmeal.
 Look here" protested De Windt, "don't put those tent pegs on the oat- meal. They'll poke their points through the bag and there'I be Il leak

Rats More Learned in Ohio.

Rats destroy on an average of $30o worth of catalogues each year at Ohio state university, according to Lester E. Wolfe. secretary of the entrance board. The rodents. which infest the basement of University hall. where the catalogues are kept, nibble the binding of the books in order to get the paste which holds the leaves together. The common methods used to get rid of rats, such as poison and traps, have long since been given up as useless, for the rats, probably because of their environment, are too wise to be tempt ed by either.

Would Get Him Out.

X school-fnspector, who was examin- ing u class of boys in arithmetic, set the following question:
 If a cat fell into a bottomless pit, and climbed up two feet for every three it fell, how long would it take to get out?'
 This proved regular puzzler to the lads, and one little fellow went at the problem with will, and covered both sides of his slate with calculations.
 Here" exclaimed the inspector, as he noticed him hard at work. "Stop doing that. Haven't you the sense to see that the cat couldn't possibly get out?" l.
 "oh, yas, he could, sir" replied the boy, brightly. "If you'll only give me time I'll bring him out at Australia"

Arthur Dined Often With a Friend.

In the old days presidents Were ehary about breaking any kind of precedents and if they did break them, they tried to keep the breaking quiet. There has been an unwritten rule in Washington since the days of Madison that q president should not make per sonal or social calls on friends, and should not attend any social functions unless they were virtually of national size, or were intended to forward some great charitable cause.
 President Chester A. Arthur was q socially inclined man. He wanted to leave the White House to dine with friends whenever he felt the inclina- tion so to do. He checked his desires along this line because he did not want to give offense to the precedent wor- shpers, but he indulged his desires nevertheless about once week. After he had left office it was found that un- known either to the gossips or the non gossips of Washington he had dined regularly once week with an old friend who had "corking good cook"
 Mir. Roosevelt, when he was presi- dent kept pretty close to the lines of established social precedence. but he was independent enough of gossip to dine once in a while with some close personal friend, like Henry Cabot Lodge. Mir. Taft was more of a vis- itor to private houses perhaps than any of his predecessors. He had some old-time Ohio friends here, and into their houses he used to drop for aft ernoon tea, occasionally to Sunday supper, and certainly once or twice Il month to partake of family din- ner

Others Have Broken Precedents.

The direct address to congress at the opening of a session and the ap- pearance of the president at the cap itol at q few other times to talk over legislation acted as something of Il shock absorber when the recent dec laration of intention to make frequent visits to the capitol was announced.
 During every administration some thing is sure to happen which sur prises the lawmakers and perhaps the public with them, and gives the crit ics ample opportunity to talk their sharp words. Roosevelt smashed few preeedents and Mir Taft did so like wise. MT. Wilson has followed suit. but has done 1t "a little more so,e
 Precedent breaking by a president and the consequent and instant criti- cism are not confined to supposed in- reference with the legislative inde- pendence of congress. This breaking away from the conventions of the years sometimes concerns itself with social matters, but whether the de partures are legislative, political or so- cial, the tongues all go wagging for week. Then Washington gets aecus- toned to the new order, stops taking and fergets all about the cause for the talk

 Wilson Again Does Unexpected.
 President Wilson's appearance in the senate wing of the capitol as a per sonal proponent of the legislation which he desires the majority party in congress to pass, was not the astound- ing surprise to senators and members tiltAI tliN AOuIlllA StHtA lAAs NCAAAAo lO think thut it was.
 Ever since he has come Into office the president has been doing the un- expected along Il dozen different lines of endeaYor. The result of this has been that when something new comes surprise if not minimized, is, so to speak, ameliorated.
 The determination of the president to address congress at the opening of each session instead of sending writ ten message, as had been the custom for years upon years, was sort of Ii bombshell of surprise in itself. There was an immense amount of discussion over the presidents action at that time. He was criticized severely by Il good many senators and members irrespective of party, although, of course, the seyereSt criticism came from the Republicans, while such of the Democrats us objected to the pro- ceeding said sharp things in the cloak room and reserved milder words of re- proof for the open.
 Now that the addressing of congress in person has become a fixed presi- dential habit, most people seemingly have forgotten the approach to tur- moil with which the first announce ment of intention was received. On one or two occasions prior to the time that Mir. Wilson announced he would go to the capitol almost daily to eon- suit with the senators about legisIa- tien in which he is interested. he had gone to the capitol to advise with the leaders of his party.

taken to the Supreme Court Of the United
States, that jefferson must serve the term
Of from one to three years in State Prison
to which he was sentenced for violating the
criminal law by granting immunity to
offenders for money consideration.
The main point considered in Chief Jus
tice Gummere's opinion was the contention
Of the defense that jefferson, as a state
officer liable to impeachment, could not be
tried under the criminal law unless first
adiudged guilty in impeachment proceed
ings Showing the fallacy Of this argu-
ment, Chief Justice Gummere pointed out
that such a condition would mean in many
instances the protection Of State officials
in any wrongdoing In their official capacity.
Many other instances might be cited. the
court added, where n similar result would
ensue. Remarking that there have been
only four impeachment trials in New Jersey
since 1884, Chief Justice Gummere added:
Certainly no one will suppose that
during this period of a hundred and thir-
ty-three years the four persons thus pro-
ceeded against constitute all Of the office
holders under the State Government who
have been untrue TO the trust reposed in
them. In fact, the very slightest exami-
