that there was no hope for me; that
my future was doomed. And L heard

Cause CornS But
Who Cares Now

Because style DEGREES that women

corns. then they cut and trim at these
painful pests. which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause locIjaw, and women are
warned to stop il.
A few drops of a drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief. and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter Of an ounce of freesone, which
costs very little, but is sufficient to re-

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

There are three little spots of soil

been sold to our government for the
enormous sum of $20,0O0,000. How

the United States treasury I cannot ex-

cash is passed over the bargain coun-

pines after Admiral Dewey had con-

are rated at some thousands per head.
In old slavery days there were few
slaves, well trained, that sold as high
as 800 and $4,000 per head. The price
paid to Denmark is a long way in ad-
vance of those sales.
Admiral Dewey lies in state Gin

But the purchase from Denmark
seems to be an extravagant purchase to
show how much money we could throw
away at one time and in a manner beat
all competitors in thriftless waste.
Our fashionables will pay $40 and s12
for pair of shoes and S12 or SIS for
a pair of corsets because it is smart
and sporty to do such things and beat
aothers, who give back at such prices.
1 presume we concluded to put a record

if we bought a pig in poke and 1t

GROSS INCONSISTENCY.

One of these days Japan will be ready
to question the insincerity of the Amer
lean people on question of color. Fifty
wears ago these Americans not only gave
freedom to the African race, but they
made citizens of these black skinned
people here among US. The black cpl
dermis was not considered in the way
of progressive citizenship. A colored
man has for thirty years been registrar
of the United States treasury. Another
colored man, Judge Robert H. Terrell,
municipal Judge in Washington city, was
President Taft's choice for the woolsack,
and President Woodrow Wilson reap
pointed him in 1914 to the same office.
1 am not quite certain as to figures but
1 am impressed that he gets $4,000 sal
airy, and he sits in judgment on the
lives and property of men and women
in Washington City regardless of sex
or color.
That's going some. l hear you say.
All the colored men in the United States
are allowed the ballot privilege, pro-
vided they are descended from the Afri-
can race The departments at Wash
ington are full and crowded with such
colored men and women working in these
offices along with white men and wom-
en-. Of the 10000 office holders in the
national capitol, a great many are per-
sons of color appointed by Republicans
and Democrats in the executive mansion
for political effect
Japanese and Chinese and Hindus are
included from citizenship. They are for
hidden to purchase land in this country
after a limit Of three years beyond the
passage of the exclusion act. They can
not hold any office whatever. The bal
lot is denied them.
I have often wondered at this incon-
sistency. 1t is inexplicable as ques-
ton of color. The Jap has fine vel
vety skin, and so had the Red American
Indian. We refused to allow the In
dfans, the aborigines of America, to vote
They could not hold office. They were
pushed off the continent by American
bayonets. / would like to know why a
black skin was chosen instead of red,
tan or pale yellow. Can you solve the
riddle?

last blows to my pride. For the first
time I had had a genuine impulse to live
by my own effort. But as it was young

money.
had learned that it is no more pos
sible to leap with one bound to the top
of the ladder in the theatrical profess
sion than it is in any other. l left that
agency in a huff. Funnily, I had just
enough common sense to realize that the
man who had spoken to me thus frankly
had told me the truth. 1t did not occur
to me to seek dramatic fame elsewhere.
So now 1 was in quandary. what TO
do?
1t seemed to me that the life of an
actress was the only one suited to my
peculiar talents / could not picture
myself in any less public walk of life.
I wasted several days fussing about the
house, waiting for some opportunity to
make my own livelihood to be brought
to me on a silver platter. 1 was still
determined to do something. But my
ardor had been dampened. Moreover
without anybody to encourage me in my
good intentions, they lost something or
their impetus Like great many other
humans, 1 could rise to fairly dizzy
heights provided l had an applaud
ing audience. Alone, I preferred to
remain safely on earth.
-Four DAYS after 1 had been to the
theatrical agency came the hrst real
test of my good resolutions. Appar-
emily. however, my hold over him was
atronger than l had imagined.
As 1 have said, on the fourth day
came a letter and small package from
him. The package contained dla-
ruond-studded wrist watch on black
ribbon band The note told me he was
sorry to have spoken TO me as he did,;
that perhaps. after all, "he had not
given me time" and would l forgive
him and dine with him that evening
Alas for my newly acquired virtue! l

Mace on nv slender wrist, and--went to

Perhaps il was too bad that he should
have used that unfortunate phrase just
then. 1t was the one with which he had
pursued me and before which l had fled
for months. All that he meant by it rose
before me suddenly in perfect mirage
There was a silence at my end of the
wire Theen June's voice again:
"Say, Di did you hear what L saidE

Worldwide attention. and it well de-
serves the consideration which il has re-
ceived-
1t expresses the no5Iest ideals in the
most elevated style II is as terse as
Franklin and as elegant as Macauley.
But many people have failed TO catch
it's full significance. and multitudes in I'M
thinking enthusiasm have hailed II As
tine harbinger OF universal peace. Such
misconceptions must lead tn disappoint-
ment-
The world longs for peace The W.T.
in Europe damages and distresses all
mankind
For this reason men are ready TO seize
on any apparently pacific word or act
upon the part OF those in high author
fly as a fore-token Of the peace for
which they yearn- Hence multitudes
have put upon the presidents address
more hopeful interpretations than ii
bears
The address contains three lead
ing IDEAS: % That the United
States can not stand aIoot from the
other nations OF the world, and look
with cold indifference upon bloody
conflicts which injure neutrals and
arrest all human progress 60 That
a league OF peace should be form

government should bear q right

principals of liberty and justice,
should be enforced, and that the
United States cannot AFFORD 10 lend
its power to the enforcement OF
any other sort OF peace
Around these three essential ideas the
whole address is framed, and consider

EN- ROUTE TO FLORIDA.

Going to Florida in the winter time
to my mind is better than going to Cali
fornia at any time. 1 was there in Feb
rual-y, 1916, and st. Petersburg was like
a glimpse of Paradise to me-with its
georgious display of bloom and rich
tropical foliage, with the warm smiling
waters in the bay-where joyous bathers
disported their limbs and dive6 like
ducks in the warm water and gentle
waves, near the shore. 1t has been a
sweet memory ever since, and 1 want to
go again, and am surely going
Providence permitting.
But for the devastations of the Civil
war, which set back the old Confederate
states fully fifty years, Florida would
have had it's innings a long time ago.
II those swampy lands had been drain
ed in 1860, and well-set in citrus fruits,
and no war to interrupt, Florida lands
would be as popular as the Isles of
Italy for winter resorts-at this time.
After the Panama canal was started
and everybody could see what Cuba and
Key West meant to the United States
then the value of this favored land be-
gun to loom UP.
Except for a freeze which laid low or
anSe groves some years ago Florida
has always been a delightful place for
invalids and people who loved the soft
airs and delightful fruits of that sec
ton.
