A gent lemsm walking on a «ide street was attracted by two chubby uivhins who came rushing toward him along the sidewalk. puffing and eliooing with all their might. In their wake trailed a little girl with lugubrious ami tear stained countenance "We're playing automobile!'' panted one of the lads in an explanatory manner as he paused by the gentleman.

That -worthy with some severity responded, "That's all very wall but why don't you let your little sister play too?' Quick as a flash came the answer. "Aw, she's in the game ..all right. .She's the gasoline sn ell!"

That is what our mayor is in the city government.

(rOvern9r-elect. Mickey of Nebraska is a man of convictions. Not only this but he has the coinage of them. When approached by the- committee of the inaugural ball, soliciting his atcndftn.oe, he Jlatly refused oD'ering explanation beyond the simple statement. "1 am a Methodist.' Mr. Mickey evidently means that he is a practicing A'cthodist. A .Kentucky girl once explained the diiTererice between being engaged and be* 'ing engaged to be married. So, too, there is a diiierence betwwii being a Methodist and a practicing Methodist. Mr.

Mickey :-houkl he more specific.

It, is not difficult to determine the cause of President Roosevelt's reluctance to assume the. role of arbiter in the Venezuelan trouble. The United states of which he is the executive head, is in a large measure an interested party as the enunciator of the Monroe Doctrine, and while a decision by President Roosevelt might be absolutely impartial and, indeed, the embodiment and soul »f fairness to all, it would nevertheless be liable to misinterpretation. A perfectly just decision would probably coincide with the claims of none of the wrangling powers.

Tt is alleged that shop-lifters have been unusually busy and lxld in Terre Haute during the past week and have exacted tribute from the department stores that promises to cut a sorry figure with the profits of the holiday trade. The man who will discover a remedy for this evil will receive the blessings not oniy.of the store owners but of a large and active number of people who always feel like holding their hands above their heads while shopping, in order to avert unjust suspicion.

The policy of increasing the salaries of all employes, inaugurated some weeks ago by the managers of the eastern railroads, has made its influence felt in the west and the northwestern lines are already falling in. And there is no good reason why they should not. They have enjoyed their full quota of prosperity and are amply able to stand a draig.

The friends of the Omnibus Statehood Bill are reported as making a great fight and as feeling very hopeful of success. If tliey do succeed, however, the fact will still remain that Senator Beveridge was right in opposing the admission of New Mexico and Arizona, neither of which is fitted for the positipn its ambition seeks.

The appropriation by congress of half a million dollars to enforce the Sherman anti-trust law tends to refute the charge made by Democratic orators and papers during the late campaign to the effect that the Republican party was in league K1 with the trusts and would do nothing to curb them if con-

tinued in power.

The Methodist church announces that its twentieth century offering of twenty million dollars will probably be eomplcted by the end of this year. This magnificent work for the evangelization of the world sets the record high and reflects, the greatest credit on an institution of piety that has 5s been so potent a factor in this country's growth.

The fact that 9,000 Boers are en route to this country to settle in New Mexico, far from advancing the claims of that teritory to statehood, is just one more good argument against it. The population of New Mexico is already too decidedly alien and the influx of a lot of intolerant Boers will not tend to leaven the lump.

The Woman who buys her husband either neckties or cigars for Christmas makes as great an error as the man who buys his wife shirt waists or perfumery.

The scientists who discovered the germ of laziness have named the new disease "ankylostoma." It sounds like the name of a new headache medicine.

IS IN THE GAME ALL RIGHT

The Tribune is in receipt of an acrimonious and. acidulous communication from one signing himself "Citizen," who feels outraged, at the conduct of Mayor Steeg, because the laws ailecting morality, gambling and temperance are not enforced in Terrc Haute. It is the rule of The Tribune never to publish anonymous communications but even were the article in question duly signed its publication would hardly, be profitable. Why jump onto our amiable .mayor? Jf there is ground for complaint those who should bp accused are the men whom consideration for Mr. Steeg should cause to be designated as his "advisers." His position in the' government of Terre Haute suggests a pathetic yet humorous story.

THE. WIPE WORLD ROUND,

The Greatest Politician of the Senate. One of the most powerful men in the senate is Aldriuli, of Rhode Island. ,As chairman of the great committee on finance, no action affecting the revenues can be taken without his consent. Known for years as the chief high prieBt of protection, his jjjerformance has vindicated his title. He is the great tariff-maker of the senate. None other is so well informed as he in all the intricacies of the customs schedules, magic figures where the change of an innocent-looking numeral, or even of a fraction, or sometimes the omission or insertion of a little coituna, .means a fortune w^on or lost to someone.. Aldfich is suave, alert, smart, sometimes mysterious, and always single-purposed. That purpose is to see that protection is j»r«fwefVed fa season attd out of season in the house of its friends for its friends. Everything is bent to the end in view. Aldrich's hand is often seen oftener it is invisible. He is crafty, burrowing, never-sleeping. A senator has a pet measure. He presses it with all his power, fhere seems to be DLO active opposition to it. Yet it fails to get ahead. Some mysterious influence blocks the way. If he is experienced, if he is smart, if he knows the ropes, the senator will go to the chairman of the committee on finance and make his peace. He will sig5i a treaty of alliance. He will premise to be good. He will pledge himself to be by Aldrich's side when AJdrich needs him.

Aldrich is the greatest politician of the senate. Sooner or later he has his finger in every legislative pie. Often his is the actual controlling power when few if any suspect that he it bestirring himself. He has the consummate art which enables him to exert tremendous influence when to all outward appearance he is wholly quiescent. To him the senate is more than a legislative body, more than a club it is a chessboard upon which he loves to move the pieces without showing his hand. He is never in a hurry never anxious or eager never se«ms to be mixing in other people's affairs. He sits quietly at his place, a picture of calm indifference and, when he moves about, it is to drop down beside this senator or that for a casual word or inquiry. It is with these casual words, these Little chats, that he sows his seed. He knows men. knows everyone's weakness and strength, knows each senator's dearest hope and most poignant, fear. Give him a little time and he will have full information as to what everyone else is up to and scarcely anyone will have any information as to what he is up to. But he knows, and in the end he usually gets his way.

Men who think they are running things suddenly awake to a relization of the fact that they have reckoned without someone. There is someone they must see and reach an understanding with. This is Aldrich. The Rhode Islander is one of the most interesting characters ever seen in the senate —character worthy of a place in the future great novel America.

ff the Mississippi River Had Flowed North. The Rhine is less than nine hundred miles long, and the Danube less than two thousand. The length of the longest river in India is two thousand, three hundred miles, and the longest in Asia is three thousand, three hundred and twenty. The Nile is four thousand and sixty-two it affords, however, only seven hundred and thirty miles of continuous navigation from its mouth. You may take a steamboat from the mouth of the Mississippi and pass up three thousand, nine hundred miles from the gulf—as far as from New York across the Atlantic to the Strait, of Gibraltar, across the Meditera'aneaii and the Aegean sea to Asia Minor, and up the Dardanelles to Constantinople, ami then you wilt bavc to disembark and walk four hundred miles, if you wish to equal the distance that would have to be. traveled to reach the head waters of the river.

What if this "Father of Waters," like the Nile, had flowed north instead of south, and, like the Red River of the North, had emptied into the Arctic ocean instead of the Gulf? Coiulneicirtllv speaking, it would have out off this groat river system from the world, would have made the Isthmian canal useless the Mississippi valley, and would have spread annual devastation throughout its course, because the floods of spring from the southern portion of the river would have poured down upon the northern while the latter was still ice bound. Tilting the basin of the Mississippi only a few hundred feet would have made all this vast difference.

THE PIRATE'S CORNER.

It requires an expert to figure profit out of a blunder.

The trouble Avith most good advice is that it comes from those who never tried it.

There is nothing like a hot temper to keep one in warm water.

There is always some one ready to kick the cover off when others try to conceal their sins with the mantle of charity.

It is the bum actor who has to tramp.

The only way to keep a sweet tooth from troubling one is to have the stomach filled.

When a man fails it is owing to circumstances past all human control, but when he succeeds it is due to his personal ability—so he ssrys.

Truth is stranger than fiction and often less attractive.

Friendship is a ship that sails best on smooth seas.

There is a cure for every HI and for every cure a bill.

Memory is not fickle respecting those things we would like to forget.

No Such Luck.

FAMOUS SPECIALIST

DEFEAT

IN BOSTON.

A STUBBORN DISLOCATION

Refused to Respond to the Methods Which Have Made the Specialist Famous.

BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 24,—Dr. Adolph l.orenz failed to effect a cure today, and it was his first failure since he cauie to this country. He was almost as weak as the patient before he gave up. When he found there was 110 hope he said in a voice scarcely audible: "Gentlemen, 1 have failed."

The operation was performed in the children's hospital, where two patients were cured under his muscular grip yesterday.

The clinic

AVas

filled with the most

eminent of Boston's surgeons, 300 of them being present, and the relatives of the three patients selected for the demonstration.

The hospital officials refused to give the names of the subjects. They were a boy 3 1-2 years, a girl of 7 and a bo\* of 9 1-2. The youngest ehikl was the first to be operated upon. Dr. Lorenz was talking constantly while his hands clutched the distorted muscles, and in a few minutes the little sufferer was cured.

The second to be brought out was the boy. As the child was laid on the table the surgeon ran his hands across the abnormal hip. He seemed worried, and for a few minutes said nothing. Then he turned to the physicians assisting him. "I am afraid of this case," he said. "It may be impossible to reduce the hip. The ohild is just within the age limit. T'll try it anyhow, and if it fails I will be. satisfied with a change in the position."

With no more, words the surgeon started his operation. He put the. leg far back, "pinched it, pulled and twisted it. There was no result. Then a bandage was tied around the ankle and two hospital assistants pulled with all their strength, Dr. Lorenz rubbing and pinching the hip at the same time. For twenty-five minutes this was kept up, and during the time two male and three female physicians fainted away. "I shouldn't fike to have, an accident at the last moment," Dr. Lorenz said at last. "I think I must force it. "It is impossible to do it. I must not urge it," and he gave it up, wiping the perspiration from his forehead. "I stopped because I was of the opinion the boy would die as a result of a possible accident, and an accident is liable to happen if it is worked too much."

The last patient was the 7-year-old girl. Her case was similar to the first, and was finished as quickly. "I hope, that mothers and fathers in the future will not wait until the child is 7 or 8 years old before anything is done," said Dr. Lorenz in closing. "The child should be attended to when only 2 or 3 years old."

As said above, this is the first time Dr. Lorenz has failed in this hip operation since he came to this country from Austria some time ago. His first operation was on little Lolita Armour of Chicago, and reports are that it was eminently successful. Since then the doctor has toured the country east and west, holding clinics in many of the larger cities, including New York and St, Louis. Children of the poor have flocked to him and received treatment at his hands free of charge.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED. with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as 'they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hull's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is n&t a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonjes known, combined with tho best blood purifiers, acting: directly on the mucous surfacees. The perfect combine Hon of the two ingredients is what producee wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testiroqnlahjt.free.,

RETIRING PRESIDENT OF C. & E. I. FACTOR IN RAILROAD WORLD.

BEGAN AS ANetfF'EttAYOR

Was One of the Speakers Invited to Talk at the Y. M. C. A, Dedication v. —His New Place.

President M. J. Carpenter "of the Chi cago & Eastern Illinois, who has been seliected for vice presidont and general manager of the Berc Marquette, is one of the best known railroad men in the West, and has been identified with the Eastern Illinois since 1890. He has been credited with the origin of many ideas that have made that road an important factor in the traffic of this section of the country, and much btenefit is expect ed to derive to the Pere Marquette through the acquisition of his services.

Mr. Carpenter was bom in 1850 at Caledonia, 111., and began his railroad career as an operator of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. After that he was in the train dispatcher's office of the St. Paul & Sioux City railway agent at Mankato and New Ulm, Minn., traveling auditor of the Chicago & Northwestern railway, storekeeper of the Winona shops, cashier and local station agent of the same road at Chicago and division superintendent of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railway.

In 1888 he bccame general manager of the Duluth & Iron Range railway and later presidont of that road. He became president of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois in 1800. His new duties will not reouire him to change his residence.

The Pere Marquette system is the name given to three railroads which were consolidated three years ago. These are the Chicago & Western Michigan, the Detroit. Lansing- & Northern and the Flint & Marquette railroads. The system forms important connections at Detroit, Toledo and Port Huron, the connection at the last place being with the Grand Trunk. The line runs to Ludington, Mich., where it connects with a line of steamers, running to Manitowoc. Its total of trackage is between 1,800 and 2,000 miles. The system also controls the 250 miles of the Lake Erie & HeIroit River railroad, which runs 130 miles into Canada and within 130 miles of Buffalo, N. Y.

The Pere Marquette will soon come into Chicago over the tracks of the Michigan Central, with which it connects at Xew Buffalo, sixty miles from Chicago. Tt will run through trains from Chicago to the hay fever country, including Petoskey, Bay View and Charlevoix.

To Editor of Tribune: Dear Sir—Please give space in your valuable paper that the time is close at hand that the union men will soon see if they are recognized by the new board of county commissioners by their appointments, which are made January 7, of which said board made promises to the same before the election of last November 4, especially the position of superintendent of public buildings, which by the long andl sorrowful experience, should be a. man of a mechanical qualification, as well as a good Republican and party worker. By noting applicants filed for said position will say there are one or two which are in possession of the above stated and also have been indorsed by local unions of Terre Haute and vicinity which they have a standing and think the board of county commissioners should consider and select, especially for this one position, andl put the right man in the right place, which no doubt, will meet the approval of every union man in Vigo county.

A Letter From a Beautiful Albany Girl.

McG-AHAN, 197 Third

street, Aibany, N. Y., writes: "A few months ago suffered with a severe attack of influenza which nothing seemed to relieve. My hearing became bad, my eyes became irritated and feverish. Nothing seemed right, and nothing ate tasted good. "I do not know what Peruna is made of, but I know it is a wonderful medicine to drive away sickness, and restore you to health. Within two weeks was perfectly well, and now when any of my friends are sick advise them to take Peruna. "'"-Sara McOahan. A Cold Is the Starting Point of One-Half the Diseases of Mankind.

It is through colds that most of the illnesses come to the human family. Our climate is responsible for most diseases. The ill effects of the climate first expresses itself through a cold. Immediately following the cold is a derangement of one or more of the organs. It may be in the head. It may be in the stomach. It may be in the pelvic organs, but somewhere in the body the cold is sure to settle.

If Peruna is used at this juncture, all trouble would be averted, but unfortunately many people do not use Peruna.

Some of them use some other remedy, and some of them use no remedy, and the cold is allowed to develop into influenza, (la grippe) or chronic catarrh. At this stage even of the disease, Peruna will cure, but of course it takes longer. Used in time Peruna never fails to break up a cold and thus avert a great deal of sickness.

The fact is Peruna should be in every household. A Family of Nine Protected from

Catarrhal Diseases by Pe-ru-na. Mrs. Pred Bartz, 7901-3 Ivory avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Aslong as we have had Peruna in the house we have not needed a doctor, and there are nine of us in the family.

Most of the Illnesses that Come to the Human Family are the Direct Result of Colds.

"Peruna has rendered us greater service than five doctors and all the patent medicines I used in the BIX years that I was sicic. I was so bad that no one thought I would ever recover."—Mrs. Pred Bartz.

Peruna is becoming better and better established every day. It is simply foolishness on the part of any household to allow themselves to be without Peruna.

Holiday Dinners and Catarrhal Indigestion. Christmas and New Years bring their joys long anticipated and heartily enjoyed. But the pleasure of holidays is not entirely unalloyed. The big dinners, the nuts and candies, the thousand and ono delicacies and rich viands that tempt the palate and seduce the appetite, ara too well known to need mention.

All this leads to deranged stomachs. Catarrh of the stomach is the immediate result. Gastric catarrh, the doctors call it. One or two doses of Peruna at the time prevent a long siege with catarrh of the etomach (generally called dyspepsia). What the doctors call dyspepsia, and the people call indigestion, is in reality catarrh of the stomach.

Holiday over-eating is not entirely confined to the children, either. The old folks sometimes do so, too. Whole families often suffer together. Catarrh of the stomach. That is the correct name for it.

Bight here Peruna, the friend of the family, comes to the rescue. No family is exactly safe without Peruna. Nothing will take the place of Peruna. Insist upon having it and no other.

If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the USQ of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
