“ted alter the trial ona charge of : The Backbone | Mighty Nation is good food—food for brain, food for brawn, food that is that gives energy and courage. Without a proper appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise strengthening, to greatness. As an article of food, soda crackers are being used more and more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000 packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recog- nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known. And so Uneeda Biscult will soon be on every table at every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people, thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Democratic “Bob” Lincoln. From the Washington Post. “Robert T. Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, and head of the Pullman Car company, is the most democratic man I know,” remarked A. Tyman, @ construction engineer of Chicago at theArlington, “It has often been sald that he ts very aris tocratic in his tastea and manners and that he {s just the opposite of his great father, the immortal Lincoln. But I have not found this to be true, He is very approachable indeed and quite friendly. He has @n unassuming mannerand a charm of personality that is very pleasing. Then, too, he has made an excellent head of the Pullman company. His employees are very fond of him. Since he was, Secretary of War, & quarter ofa century ago, in the cabinet of Prealdent Arthur, and minister to England, he has taken no active part in politics, and of re- cent years has devoted all his atten- tion to the great business of the Pullman company.” Instructions For Road Dragging. The following points are to be borne fn mind in dragging a road. Make a light drag, which is hauled over the road at an angle so that a small amount of earth is pushed to the center of the road. Drive the team at a walk. Ride on the drag; do not walk alongside. Begin at one side of the road or wheel track, returning up the oppo- site side, Drag the road as soon after every rain as possible,but not when the mud is in such @ condition as to stick to the drag. Do not drag a dry road. Drag whenever possible at all sea- sons of the year. Ifa roadis dragged immediately before a cold spell it will freezo in a smooth condition. The width of traveled way to be maintained by the drag should be from eighteen to twenty feet; first drag 4 little more than the width of a single wheel track then gradually increase until desired width is ob- tained. . Always drag a Iittleearth towards the center of the road until it {s rais- ed from ten to twelve inches above the edge of the traveled way. It the drag cuts in too much short- en the hitch. The amount of earth that the drag will carry along can be very co nsid- erably controlled by the driver, ac- cordingly as he stands near the cut- ting end or away from it. When the roads are first dragg ed after a very muddy spell the wagons should drive, if possible, to one side until the roadway hasa chance to freeze or partially dry out. The best results from dragging are obtained only by repeated applica- tion. Remember that constant atten- tion is necessary to maintain an earth road in its best condition. Sager Lets Albright Go.

Brandon of Douglass was in the government service for years; was postmaster of Douglass; was in the clothing business; ran a farm, or the farm ran him, we don’t know whieh; served for four years as & county officer; has adminietered estates; borrowed money; is the cashier of a bank and loans money; has been a member of the legislature forfour years, and we“have yet to hear of ofa man who fora minute doubts his honesty, or his courage. We know that during thewar, Union and Confederate scouting parties clashed near the Brandon home in Tennessee, and that a Unioneaptain was seriously wounded. While the fight was on, the Brandon boys res- cued the captain, put him under the barn floorand rana wagon in on the floor, and when the Confederates came back, and Steve who was the oldest boy, refused to tell where the wounded captain was, they strung, him upto alog corncrib, but he wouldn’t tell. Fortunately for young Steve, a neighbor farmer, who was a Confederate, came along and after taking in the situation, informed the Confederate soldiers that they might go ahead and hang the boy until he was dead, but he would never tell. “No Brandon ever tells,” he said, so the search was abandoned, the wounded Union captain was taken into the Brandon home, he recover- ed and is alive to-day.

ROOSEVELT CHAIR PURPOSE OF EXCHANGE OF PRO- FESSORS WITH GERMANY. Expect to Bring the Two Countries Nearer Together—President Butler, of Columbia University Outlines Programme for Three Years. When we speak of the Roosevelt chair there are those who might think we were referring to the presidential chair, but such is not the case, for the subject under consideration has nothing whatever to do with our presi- dent further than that his name has been given to an American professor- ship established in the Berlin univer- sity through the generous gift of James Speyer. ‘The Roosevelt chair has been estab- lished on a permanent foundation to carry out an idea suggested by the German emperor at one of the public receptions of Charlemagne Tower. It was suggested that the good feeling and mutual understanding between Germany and the United States would be furthered by the interchange of uni- versity professors. A good many American universities, including Co- lumbia, for some time have invited PROP. JOHN W. BURGESS, foreign professors, particularly from Germany, to come to this country to deliver lectures and instruction, but these invitations have always been more or less personal, and rested on no per- manent foundation and were not worked out on any preconceived plan. The idea underiying the present scheme is the establishment in the University of Berlin, the greatest and most influential of German univer- sities, of a chair from which every year a course of lectures on America, American life, or American inatitu- tions may be delivered to the German students in their own language by a competent American scholar. “Three points differentiate the Roose- velt chair from omer exchanges of professors. In the first place, through the generosity of James Speyer, the chair will be permanent. In the sec- ond place, it will be incumbent on the lecturer to speak in German, not in English. In the third place, the sub- jects to be covered from year to year Yoo Drovs) eS The Kind You Have’ ¥ ' Bears the : INFANTS “CHILDREN Sj ness and Rest.Con| mr nor Mineral. |f of OT NARCOTIC.

In outlining the courses as planned for the next three years President But- ler, of Columbia university, says: In 1906-7 the subject presented will be “The Origin and Development of the American Constitution.” The professor- ship for that year will be held by Prof. John W. Burgess, who for 30 years has| ia m Capital, $50.000. been professor ot political science and constitutional 1aw in Columbia, and from its foundation dean of the fac- ulty of politica! science. He is ac- knowledged to be an authority on the subject. He will take with him as part of his scientific apparatus a working library of several hundred volumes, including a full set of the United States supreme court reports, standard histories of the United States, and other works, all of which will be at the service of the} students following his course, His duties will consist of a univer- sity course of lectures on “American Constitutional History,” delivered twice weekly in the German language, and a seminar, with one weekly session of two hours, for the benefit of advanced and special students who wish to pur- sue the subject further and in detail, It is hoped that his lectures may be published in Germany as a permanent memorial of the first year’s work of the new foundation.
