BLACK S MISSES In the political fine work done against Theodore Roosevelt’s candidacy for the governorship of New York, says the St. Louis Republic, the lead was taken by Gov. Black, whose voice is de scribed as having been the loud est in the “discordant and defi ant chorus.” It was also stated that the coming of Black to Saratoga,the scene of the convention, was characteristic of the man, “To avoid any demonstration,” we are told, “Gov. Black purposely missed a train and came on a later one.” This sacrificial act of the governor was quite prom inently dwelt upon as an evi dence of his desire to eliminate himself from the conflict. It was probably this same impulse of self-sacrifice and pur sonal elimination which led Gov. Black, of New York to miss a train in getting to the front for active service in the war with Spain. Theodore Roosevelt was not so unfortunate, being enabled on the contrary, to figure very largely in that conflict and to so bear himself as the leader of the Rough Riders that every Amer ican’s heart now swells with national pride at the m ntion of Roosev It’s name. This is the difference, probably between the genuine Americon and the pes tiferous American politician. It will not be easy for such men as Black to stand success fully in the way of “Teddy” Roosevelt. The people love Ted dy now for the love that he has shown for Old Glory, and they will back him and the flag every time as against a politician like Gov. Black, of New York, who “purposely missed a train,” both in getting to the Saratoga Convention and to the front. The railroad superintendent's business keeps moving.

The surest way to avoid this is for the mother to reinforce her own strength by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescript tion during the time of anticipation. It will make her perfectly healthy. It will lighten and brighten the time of waiting. It will make the ordeal of motherhood ab solutely safe and comparatively free from pain and will insure a strong, healthy con stitution for the baby. Mrs Nsimie I. Taylor, of Lovelace, Hill Co., Texas, says. ” J am the mother of eight chil dren. I suffered from female weakness. I tried physicians with no avail When 1 last became with child I saw the advertisement of Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. I bought two bottles and took according to directions. When baby was born I had a very easy time and have m>t suffered one hour since, from female weak ness.

France and China are just now the storm centers of the world. Tne storm is liable to burst in the Orient and the Oc cident at the same time.—Chat tanooga News. It is certainly to be hoped that we will engage in no con nection with Spain over the bones of Christopher Columbus. To stop to haggle over such a barren question while Cuba suf fers from the continued oppres sions of the Spaniards would be a spectacle which the good Lord spare us. Give Spain her bones and let her go.—Louisville Cour ier Journal. The Dreyfus case is being overshadowed in Paris. The question now is not as to the guilt or innocence of Dreyfus. It is, “Shall ‘.he army rule the people or the people rule the army?” Indications seem to point to the belief that the army is about to establish its rules Yet the people of Paris are very fickle and change their minds rapidly.—Nashville American. Evidences multiply that it was a bad omission not to pro vide in the peace protocol that during the armistice, food ships should be admitted into Cuban yorts free of duty when under the control of the American gov ernment or the Red Cross. Hu manity demanded as much.— Houston Post. An exchange observes that “the Shafter-Miles controversy is becoming tiresome.” There doesn’t seem to be a controver sy.

Miss Schley believes her visit to Madrid did as much for peace as her uncle’s cannon. The im pression obtains, however, that if Spain had had her choice she would have faced several hundred Miss Schleys’ than one of the admiral’scannon. —Chicago News The Knoxville Sentinel says : “The First Georgia regiment has certainly made a fine im pression in Knoxville and Col. Lawton is to be congratulated upon his magnificent body of men. The city parts with the First with sincere regret. Our good wishes go with officers and men, and may they live long aud proper.” DANGER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its ExcKssivE Use. Common soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice al most daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stom ach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stom ach and bowels and cases are on record wheie it accumulated in the intestines, causing death by infiamation or peritontis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grain lozengers, very pleasant to taste and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they di gest the food perfectly and promptly before it has had time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he in variably uses Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets in all cases of stom ach trouble, but by promtly di gesting the fool they create a healthy app tite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except can cer of the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50c per package. A little book describing all forms of stomach weakness and their cure mailed free by ad dressing the Stuart Co., of Mar shall, Mich.

Mr. Bynum will not lead many gold Democrats into the Republican party. Men are not given to following a person who is being propelled by the toe of a boot. — Washington Post. Don’t forget, please, that the names of the peace commission ers of Spain are Rios, Cerero, Abarzuza, Villarrutia and Gar nica. Perh ips it might be well to chalk them down. —Boston Herald.
