So long as the Chicago ordinance merely provides that hat pins shall not protude further than the brim of the hat of what particular use is the ordinance? In settling our tariff questions with Canada, let us hope the com- mission will not forget the necessity for opening the door to let circus horses in and out. "It is somewhat difficult to under- stand,” says the New York Evening Post, “‘Senator Dolliver’s position in reference to the proposed commis- sion for the improvement of govern- ment business methods.” In the opinion of the Boston Globe, “Ex-President Roosevelt will speak Italian in Italy like an Italian, French in Paris like a Frenchman, Swedish in Stockholm, like a Swede, German in Berlin like a German, and English like a house afire when he gets back to the United States.” While many persons affect to have been impressed by Uncle Joe Can- non’s “magnificent bravery” during the big fight last week, the majority of American citizens were more strongly reminded of the evolutions of a cat when it is sought to drag her from a barrel using her tail as a handle.—Milwaukee News. A live grasshopper will eat a dead grasshopper. A Missouri farmer mixed Paris green and bran together and twenty ate it up, and they died. Four hundred ate those twenty and they died. Eight thousand ate four hundred, and they died. A hundred and sixty thousand ate those eight thousand and died, the farmer was troubled no more. In its flight from the far west, the name of the statistican of this story has become separated from his figures, but the fact that the incident occured in Missouri is regarded as evidence of its possibility—Baraboo News. It has been given out by authority that the reason the conservation legislation asked for by the adminis- tration is deemed necessary is be- cause the lawyers in the cabinet agree that the withdrawals of power sites will not hold in law if those who seek to acquire title take the matter into the courts. The opposition to this legislation . by Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Garfield has driven Mr. Taft to reveal this fact in order to influence congress, although it may reveal the weakness of the government’s pres- ent position to those who are seek- ing to monopolize the water power on the public domain. One of the ideas that has exploded is respect for old age, if it does not command money. A loud voice does not add strength to an argument. No person can uphold his dignity and have a cold at the same time. The only man who really appre- ciates the value of a thing is the one who pays for it.

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged, not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a pene- trating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores, We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Prescription. A trial bottle of this D, D, D, Perscription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch, We have sold and recom- mended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our patrons. Barker Drug Co. TAGGART i3 A CANDIDATE 8eeks United States Senatorship From Indiana.

Sold by Barker Drug Co, NEGRO-UPRISING IN CUBA IS FEARED Troops Hurrled fo Santa Clara Province From Havana, Havana, April 21.—During the night a special train carrying a battalion of infantry and a battery of machine guns under . command of General Rivas left Camp Columbia bound for Santa Clara. There was a rumor cur- rent that an uprising had occurred in Santa Clara province, but this the gov- ernment denied. Secretary of the Imterlor Lodez Leiva issued a statement positively denying the existence of the least dis- order in Santa Clara or any other part of the island. The secretary said that reports had reached thé government that there was a ‘condition of sup- pressed excitement among the negroes of Santa Clara and the Eastern prov- inces in consequence of the incendiary utterances of the negro agitator, Gen- eral Evaristo Estenoz. Because of these reports, the secretary said, the government had decided to send troops for the sake of the moral effect which their presence would have in overaweing possible disturbers of the peace and in giving confidence to loyal, law abiding citizens. Secretary Leiva added that the gov- ernment did not entertain the slightest fear that there would be any disorder demanding the use of the troops.
