Some four years ago doctors told me that I had Bright’a Disease. I was laid up three months and nothing I used helped me and no food would stay- on my stomach. I used one bot tle of your Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin and food would stay on my stomach and I craved some thing to eat. I got well. There was no Bright’s disease about me. it was a “false. rumor.” Ever since I have recommended Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin to .friends and strangers. It is just splen did .

A Washington special to the Phil adelphia Record, containing the as sertion that General Miles is a can didate for president, that he is con ducting a strategic campaign with a view to the democratic nomination two years hence, that he is confident that a military ticket will be popu lar, and wants either Schley or Dew ey as the candidate for vice presi dent, continue as follows: “Gen. Miles is very anxious to be revenged for his reprimand, and he is also anxious for a popular vindi cation of Admirals Schley and Dew ey, both of whom possess his warm est admiration. He felt very keenly for the two admirals when they were censured, and now that he has been censured for expressing his feelings, the friends of Schley and Dewey have become the fast friends and al lies of the general commanding the army. “Gen. Miles has written a great number of letters to friends high in the democratic party, and has prac tically laid his case before them. He asserts that the president treated him with great brutality; that the president had no right under the regulations to reprimand him with out first securing a court-martial, and*fimilly, that when he went to tho White House to see the president, Mr. Roosevelt did not invite him to go into the cabinet room for a pri vate talk, but rushed at him and fired at him a fusilade of censure the moment they came together.” The fact that President Roosevelt treated Gen. Miles "with great bru tality” certainly does not fit the lat ter to become president of the Uni ted States. Nor will any people—• granting the truth of tho above re port—be able' to understand why Miles should head the ticket and Schley or Dowey form tho tail. A direct reversal would seem to be more in accordance with the popu larity of tho candidates, if not with their ability in the lino of states manship. For the rest it may be paid that, tho democracy is at present without a suitable candidate, that a military ticket will inspire enthusiasm with at least a part of the people, and that any candidate will stand a’bet- ter chance in 1904 than Bryan stood or any other democrat could have stood in 1900, President McKinley having won the affection as well as tho respect of the people at large. The party will bo fortunate in hav ing a Roosevelt instead of a McKin ley to fight in 1904, Let us hope, however, that the democracy will go into the fight armed with a ticket more rational and stronger than the proposed one composed of the two abused officers of tho army and na vy respectively. T^e country wants to see the hero of Santiago receive his due and the head of the army treated with decency, but that does not imply that the country wantB to see either of them placed in an ex alted position for which they have had no training.

Millais in hi« life of his fa ther, the famous artist, tells of the immense pains and trouble taken by the latter to secure good subjects and good models. The best of these is the tale of the painting of “The Northwest Passage.” Millais was determined to have a real veteran adventurer as his model and knew that the fittest person was that un conventional character Trelawney, the friend of Byron, privateer, pi rate and the author of that extraor dinary work, “The Adventures of a Younger Son.” But Trelawney, while retaining all the willfulness and temper of youth, had become businesslike and a teetotaler in hia old age. He was not going to sit for nothing, and he would, not be painted with a glass of grog! Lady (then Mrs.) Millais made fresh ad vances. At last Trelawney said: “Well, I have some shares in a Turk ish bath. If you will take six tick ets at 2s. Gd. each, I will give your husband six sittings, one after each time you patronize the bath.” So the matter was arranged. But Trc- lawney refused to have any grog painted in the glass. Millais put it in afterward to give a needed bit of light and color. Trelawney was an gry, but the grog is still in the glassr English, You Know.
