success. In 1892 he was elected to the state legislature ard In IS9B was
chosen a state senator. In 1906 he was a candidate for governor in the pri
maries against ex-Governor Ansel, but was defeated.
Mr. Manning has been president and treasurer of the Masonic Temple
association, president of the Sumter Cotton Warehouse company, president
of the Home Building and Loan association, president of the Bank of Sumter
and director of the Sumter Telephone Manufacturing company.
NEWSPAPER MAN HONORED
When President Wilson named
Louis P. Brownlow a commissioner
of the District of Columbia, to sue-'
ceed Frederick L. Siddons, he made
a nomination that seemed to be
wholly acceptable to everyone. Mr.
Brownlow is a newspaper man and a
popular one. For ten years he has
been a resident of Washington, and
in 1903 he married there the daugh
ter of Representative Thetus W.
Sims of Tennessee. He has been
Washington correspondent for south
ern papers and a representative of
the Haskin Syndicate. He is a mem
ber of the Monday Evening club, the
Cosmos club and the National Press
club.
Mr. Brownlow has been a con
sistent Democrat, a close student of
politics and has taken an active in
terest in local affairs.
He was born in Missouri in 1879
and entered newspaper work when he
was thirteen years old, starting on
a country weekly paper, and he has been at newspaper work ever since His
first daily newspaper experience was on the Nashville Banner at Nashville,
Tenn., in 1900. Two years later he went to Louisville on the Courier-Journal,
and in 1903 was made city editor of the Louisville Times. He went to Wash
ington in February, 1904, as Washington correspondent of the Nashville
Banner and the Ixmisville Post.
After staying in Washington for a year Mr. Brownlow went to Paducah,
Ky., to succeed Irvin Cobb as editor of the Paducah News-Democrat. He re
mained there a year and went back to Washington in 1905.

TO FILL BIG MAN’S SHOES
“I’ve got a big man’s shoes to
fill.” said George Huddleston when
informed that he had been elected
to succeed Oscar Underwood as rep
resentative from the Ninth Alabama
district. And with this idea in mind
he at once set about fitting himself
to fill those shoes so far as might be
possible. On December 7, the very
day that the present session of con
gress opened, George Huddleston
made his appearance on the floor, and
though his own term was not to be
gin until March 4, he has been unre
mitting in close attention to every
thing congress has done.
The apprentice congressman from
Alabama is known among those who
were acquainted with him in Birming
ham, his home, as a hard worker, a
man of retiring disposition and self
made fortune. He is about forty years
oid, a bachelor, and his smoothly
6haved face carries lines of determi
nation. Yet, in spite of his reputa-
tion for being self-effacing, it is said that he knows more people “down
home” whom he can call by their first names than any other man in his
district.
Huddleston is not an Alabamian by birth. He came to Birmingham e
poor young lawyer, but did not long remain either poor or unknown.
Richard Irvine Manning, who has
succeeded Cole Blease as governor of
South Carolina, is a product of the
state he now rules. He w - as bom at
Homesley Plantation, Sumter county,
on August 15, 1859. His father died
when he was only two years old and
when he was a mere lad he aosumed
the responsibilities of the plantation.
This gave him lots of outdoor exer
cise and he grew up a strong, healthy
boy. »
He attended the primary schools,
then was for tw'O years a student at
the Kenmore university high school
and later at the University of Vir
ginia, which he left in 1879 before
completing his course of study. When
twenty-two years old he started farm
ing with three plows on poor, sandy,
unimproved soil. In 1881 Mr. Man
ning married Leila Bernard Mere
dith, a daughter of Judge Meredith of
Richmond. For several years he had

For the first time in the history
of Colorado the executive of the state
has appointed a woman “assistant
governor.” That is what Gov. George
A. Carlson has done with Mrs. Carl

en and children that may reach the
legislature or the governor in his of
ficial capacity Mrs. Carlson's conclu
sions will be held paramount.
Mrs. Carlson as “assistant gov

part. She says she will spend many
hours daily at the capitol and

sociological questions and legislation
of the humanitarian kind, especially
as it may affect women and children.
During Governor Carlson’s term
as district attorney for Weld, Boulder

was his assistant. In that time she

HER INHERITANCE
i . i.
By FRANK FILSON.
Little Miss Raymond read the letter
beside her plate and looked up in a
dazed way. It announced that she
had fallen heir, most unexpectedly, to
the sum of $3,000.
When one is thirty years of age,
not prepossessing, and a stenographer
on sls a week, the future does not
look very promising. Miss Raymond
had bought a new suit that very week.
She had almost decided to let it go
back, although she knew that she
looked most attractive in it. But
now, of course, there would be many
suits and dresses.
Then the thought of Philip Barton
struck home to her, and she flushed
guiltily, and the mirage of new dresses
suddenly disappeared.
Philip was her only friend in the
big city. He had lived in the same
rooming house for three years, and
they had been fast friends all that
time. He had confided to her that if
he had a certain sum he could start
a profitable undertaking in the manu
facture of a certain mechanical appli
ance now made at a disproportionate
ly high price by the firm which em
ployed him at S2O. And he had fixed
the exact sum at $3,000. Not that he
expected ever to have that amount.
But he had confided it to her as one
of those unrealizable dreams that
come to all of us.
That was last Saturday night. For
a whole year they had dined out each
Saturday night together.
Philip was two years younger than
herself. A mere boy, she considered
him. She prized their friendship the
more because she realized that some
day love would come into his life.
Poor, timid little Miss Raymond! No
love had ever entered hers, though
she was overflowing with charity and
! affection for all humanity. She was
the sort of woman whom men seldom
apprize at their true worth. When

Undoubtedly She Was Beginning to
Look Quite Pretty.
a man does, he draws a rich prize in
the matrimonial lucky-bag.
Miss Raymond thought about the
legacy the whole day at the office. She
was amused at the independence
which it seemed to give her. She
trembled no longer in fear of dismis
sal when rumors flew about that
"hands” were being laid off. She was
ti “hand”—or had been. Now she was
beginning to feel a human being
again.
When she got home she put on the
new suit and looked at herself crit
ically in the glass. Whether it was
the new suit or whether it was the
legacy, undoubtedly she was begin
ning to look quite pretty. Her face
was flushed, and the excitement had
added a luster to her eyes and an ex
pressiveness to her mouth. Miss Ray
mond was beginning to feel quite
proud of her appearance.
And then the thought of Philip came
to her. An old maid of thirty! A
young man of tw’enty-eight! What
would not life mean to him if he
could have that three thousand!
She thought of the drab years be
hind her, the colorless years that must
stretch before her, away and away.
Little Miss Raymond put her head
down upon her hands and cried.
“It isn’t for him,” she told herself
defiantly, as she sealed up the type
written letter. “It is for —the sake of
the girl who is—is to take my place.”
And little Miss Raymond cried
again. Then, lest the thought of
selfish pleasure should make' her re-
I pent, she went out quickly and
dropped the letter into the post office
box.
Quixotic? Little Miss Raymond was
made that way. That was why she
had never succeeded in the stern
struggle of life.
She listened from her room next
evening, which was Saturday, to hear
Philip’s step on the stairs. She was
dressed —in the new suit, an unwar
ranted extravagance now —and wait
ing for him to take her to dinner.
Each paid for his own dinner. That
had been the first test of their com
radeship and he had always respect
ed her independence
But when he came leaping up she
felt her heart beating so tumultuously
that she could hardly speak for fear
of betraying herself.
“Wonderful news, Claire!” ho cried,
shaking her hands in rapture. “You
can’t even guess it. I’ll tell you after
dinner. Not before or during dinner
after! And you’ll be so happy for
my sake when you know.”
They went out to the little Italian
place where they had dined so often,
and, during the repast of many
courses little Miss Raymond watched
his happy face in mute sorrow. She
felt that this was the beginning of the
end of their friendship.
After dinner he drew the typewrit
ten letter from his pocket and read it
to her. An antnymous person, who
had the gravest reasons for doing so,
wished to bestow the sum of $3,000
upon him. That sum had been depos
ited in a certain bank to his account,
and he was asked to make no elfort to
discover the identity of the sender.
He had been to the bank, and the
money was there. The manager had
told him that the mysterious depositor
was a woman; she had explained to
him that she wished to remain un
known to him. The manager knew
nothing of her, but he had accepted
the money subject to an investigation
of Philip’s record. So the money was
as good as his.
“And after this I am going to pay
the bill every Saturday night,” said
Philip gleefully.
And he began telling her all about
his plans; how he could get a part
ner to go in with him to a similar
amount, and of the tiny factory that
he was planning, with success assured
and a prosperous life. They lingered
in the restaurant until everyone else
was gone, and the sleepy waiters eyed
them resentfully, and then they
walked home together, and Philip was
still talking.
“And of course I shall move from
here,” he said, as they stood before
the rooming house together. “I have
got a little flat already planned, and
—Claire, I want to tell you something.
There is the sweetest, dearest girl
in the world whom I am going to ask
to share it with me. I have never told
you of her.”
“No," answered Claire Raymond
quietly. He was too eager to see the
clutch she gave at her heart, and she
was glad of that.
“And then,” she said, with a tremu
lous little laugh, “I suppose our long
friendship will be ended.”
“Well, of course things will be dif
ferent,” he admitted, “but I hope we
shall see a good deal of each other,
Claire.”
“I hope so,’’ she answered mechan
ically, feeling that his eyes were
turned quizzically on hers. And all
the while she was repeating fiercely:
“I’m glad I did it. I’m glad! I’m'
glad!”
And suddenly she felt his arms
about her, and his lips on hers. “You
are the girl, Claire!” he cried tri
umphantly. “Didn’t you guess?
Didn’t you know? Tell me you can
love me! You must, you must,
Claire!”
“Oh, I do!” she sobbed, overcome
by the revulsion. “I have always loved
you—always, Philip!”

FINALLY “GOT” HIS AVERSION
Jealous Trout Made a Jonah of His
Rival, Swallowing Him
Whole.
Ever hear of a trout being in love,
turning cannibal and committing mur
der?
Last autumn two trout, each meas
uring ten inches, were taken from a
small spring at Wintergreen estate.
Highland lake, and placed in a deep
spring, ten feet below walls, where
Pete, a tame trout, fifteen inches long,
had made his home for seven years
without a companion, according to a
Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New
York Herald.
Pete at once took a liking to one of
the trout, but whenever the lid of the
spring was raised he would glide
through the water after the other one,
and whenever close enough, tried to
bite the fleeing fish. It also was no
ticed at feeding time, when bits of
meat were dropped into the water,
that Pete did not object when his
friend rose from the sandy bottom to
get a bite, but kept his eyes on the
other fellow and immediately gave
chase if he tried to get any food. Jeal
ous Pete more than once filled his
mouth so full of liver that he could
not close it.
The protra fed drought caused the
water level to drop from eight feet to
two, and the trout whose life Pete
had sought for three months fell a vic
tim to the big trout’s prowess, the
shallow water net giving him the room
he had been accustomed to when flee
ing from Pete’s assaults. When the
lid of tne spring was raised the other
day only two trout were to be seen —
Pete and his friend. From Pete’s
mouth protruded the tail of the miss
ing fish.
Pete was easily captured and the
dead trout extracted with difficulty.
Pete appeared none the worse for his
experience and seems contented with
his one companion.
Knitting a Scotch invention.
Knitting, at which every woman is
now getting plenty of practice, is a
Scotch invention of the fifteenth cen
tury, and Scotch knitted stockings
I soon found their way to FYance. A
guild of stocking knitters, too, was
soon formed, with St. Fiacre as their
patron saint. Hand knitting was not
long left without machinery as a
rival, for it was as long ago as 1589
I that William Lee invented the knit
; ting frame.
French Market Coffee
The Wonderful Old Secret Blend
is best for this climate
IN the coffee growing countries, good coffee, roasted
like French Market Coffee, is regarded as a neces
sity, a healthful stimulant to aid digestion. Hot climates
create a desire for stimulants, and the one great healthful,
stimulating drink is coffee, not the ordinary roasts of coffee,
but the rich roasts which contain no heavy oils, and though superbly stim
ulating, will not irritate the most tender stomach.

Coffee like French Market Coffee is served in Paris,

you find coffee like the ordinary American roasts.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers You—
Drink. Lots of Water.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent litliia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Adv. i
