A Political Prophesy.
" j7 „. J , ; .
Henry Watterson takes a hope
ful view of the white house dinner
affair.
He says:
# ‘‘Triffy, the president4id Bohk ;
er Washington an ill turn in this
business. Looking at it * from
partisan point of view, democrats
may take not a little comfort to
themselves. Whatever happens,
this is not our funeral. Out. in
the cold as we may be, shivering
as we are—and hungry, yea, veri
ly, and thirsty —yet as we stand
around the white house and look
in through the windows and see
Teddy and Booker hobnobbing
over their ’ ’possum and ’tatoes,’
not one of us is disposed to envy
either of them, or to exclaim of
either, ‘Wouldn’t it be bully to be
him?’
“We prefer to take our chances
of the futuro. We had rather
wait till our time comes. Some
how the look ahead does not- seem
so hopeless, nor the distance so
long. For there is here a radical
infirmity of judgment—a pi
lack of common sense—and, bless
the Lord, we are not in it. In
deed, the shortcoming implied by
it means a great deal to us. Mis
takes like misfortunes, never come
singly. They, travel in groups
and are numerous We democrats
have but to get together and to
keep our powder dry to carry all
before us three years hence, be
cause this young man is a bron'co
buster, and he is going to raise
more of the very, hot place with
the very short name to the square
inch than was ever raised before
in that particular neck of the
woods. Sursumcorda.
“There’s a good time coming,
boys ; wait a little longer.”
According to a table complied
by the Bureau of Statistics of the
Treasury Department two-thirds
of the principal countries of the
world import more than they ex
port. The countries which show
an excess of exports over imports
are Argentina, Austria-Hungary,
Brazil,!Chile, British India, Mexr
ico, Roumania, European Russia,
the United States and Uruguay;
The countries showing an excess
of imports over exports are Bel
gium, Canada, Gape of Good
Hope, China, Cuba, Denmark,
Egypt, France, Germany. Greece,
Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Nor
way, the Philippine Islands, Por
tugal, Spain, Switzerland, Tur
key and the U nited Kingdom.
Birth-marks which mark and
j mar the outside of the body are a
grief to every mother whose chil
dren may bear them. But for
every child who bears a birth
mark on the skin there are many
who bear an indelible birth-mark
on the mind. Nervous mothers
have nervous children and many a
man and woman owes an irrita
ble and despondent temperament
to those days of dread when the
mother waited the hour of her
maternity. The use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Presciption strengthens
the mother for her trial. With
strength comes a buoyancy of
spirits and quietness of mind,
which is one of the happiest gifts
a mother can bestow on her off
spring. By giving vigor and elas
ticity to the delicate womanly or
gans “Favorite Prescription”
practically does away with the
pain of maternity and makes the
baby’s advent as natural and as
simple as the blossoming of a
flower. There is no opium, co
caine or other narcotic contained
in “Favorite Prescription.”

It has been taken to the National
Museum in Washington, where
the scientists have since been ex
amining it. They have progressed

new metal in it. One of the scien
tists says that the meteorite
“must have come from a region
that contains but very little oxy
gen/” and that it is. “certainly

covered.”

ing it. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselve» with this priceless
remedy, and as Many more have been
cured and made temperate men by hav
ing the “Cure” administered by loving
friends ani relatives, without their

leading “improvement.” Drive out the
