Catarrh To prove unquestionably, and beyond any doubt. Chat Catarrh of the note and throat can be cured, I am furnishing patients through druggists, small free Trial Boxes of Dr. Shoop’s Catarrh Cure. Ido this because I am so certain, that Dr. Shcop's Catarrh Cure will bring actual substantial help. Nothing certainly, is so convincing as a physical test of any article of real, genuine merit. Butthat article must possess true merit, else the test will condemn, rather than advance it— Dr. Bhoop's Catarrh Cure Is a snow white, healing antiseptic balm, put up in beautiful nickel capped glass jars at 60c. Such soothing agents as Oil Eucalyptus, ■Thymol, Menthol, etc., are incorporated mto a velvety, cream like Petrolatum, imported by Dr. Shoop from Europe.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Goaaip of the National Capital. Social Correspondence to The Democrat f Col. Bryan baa set at rest so far as be is concerned tbe rumor, always regarded as senseless in the realm of practical politics, of any coalition between tbe two great parties. His announcement has been received with considerable satisfaction in Washington because while there was never much stock taken in tbe story that Bryan was at the last moment go* ing to throw his influence to Roosevelt, there was enough possibility in the unoontradicted rumor to make a basis for talk. Mr. Bryan says that while he admires President Roosvelt, and while the President has adopted some Democratic policies and made the best use he could of them, he has never carried any of these policies as far as they needed to be carried, or as far as the Democratic party would have carried them had it had a chance. Mr. Bryan says he does not even want to influence the Democratic party in the choice of a nominee for tbe presidency, but that whether he did or not, all talk of the party endorsing President Roosevelt is the merest nonsense.

t,t t Steps have, been taken by the government to lessen the profitable industry of smuggling on the Mexican border. This has been a problem with the government for many years. The industry flourished before tbe removal of the “free zone” between the two countries and since that zone has been abolished has been easier and more profitable than ever. It is not likely that there will ever be any safeguard against this cheating of the customs, for there is over 600 miles of border exclusive of the Rio Grande section where there is nothing but a stone monument every 300 yards to tell Mexican from American soil. It is of course impossible to patrol this vast expanse and not only are goods constantly smuggled across, but many immigrants as well who have found it impossible to pass tbe immigration inspectors. Now tbe government has declared a neutral strip along the border where federal officers are supreme in the discharge of their duty and are unhampered by state or territorial regulations. This will aid in making the work of the smuggler a little more venturesome, but so far as putting the law on them is concerned, their prosecution will still remain in the category of the receipt for cooking a rabbit —first catch your rabbit.

The Navy Department has been experimenting quietly with a new torpedo that, if it is the success its designer claims it to be, will solve the long discussed problem of utilizing gasoline gas as a motive power without exploding it in an internal combustion engine. As most people know, the economical and effective little gasoline engine that has solved the automobile problem and is furnishing the power for so many thousands of farmers all over the country, works by mixing gasoline vapor and air in the cylinder of the engine and then firing it by an electric spark. This takes the place of steam in an ordinary engine, but there are certain disadvantages in it chiefly that it has to be run at a high and constant speed to develop its full efficiency and that for slower speeds gears have to be introduced.

The new torpedo uses gasoline ss a motive power, but by a clever combination with water in the jacket of the engine, it converts the gasoline vapor into what is practically steam and feeds it directly to the cylinder of the engine without the aid either of fire or a spark plug, which as all gasoline engine users know, is one of the most detestible of human devices. The new torpedo is a remarkable engine of war if all that is claimed of it is true. It runs at a speed of over 60 miles an hour and is effective at a range of over two miles. It is under perfect control and stands a very small chance of missing the warship at which it is aimed, But the chief interest for the general public lies in the claim of the makers that the problem of using gasoline vapor direct has been solved. If this is so, it means a revolution in small power engines for farm use. t t t z A young woman of Middletowb, New York, Miss Guinan, has just been awarded a medal for heroism and with the distinction of having it presented with a letter from President Roosevelt. She saved the life of Mr. Rynon. He was over seventy years old, and very feeble when be attempted to cross the tracks in front of an approaching train, i not observing that a

train was also rapidly approaching on the other track from the opposite direction, He reached the central space between the two tracks before observing that the trains were approaching from both directions, and became greatly bewildered at his apparent inability to go forward or back without danger, of being run down. Mies Guinan, who was standing at the crossing, observed his perilious Sredioament and rushed to his aid. Pot having time to push him off the tracks, she seized hold of him and held him firmly between the two trains as they rushed by. For several moments the two were in this perilous position, a train rushing by at a high rate of speed On each* side of them. When tbe east bound train had passed they got to tbe sidewalk, the old gentleman being nearly unconscious from fright, Miss Guinan was apparently undisturbed by her experience. A measurement taken subsequently showed that there was but thirty-six inches of space in which to stand between the swaying trains. t + t

Probably many people do not know what the American Medal of Honor Society is. But the fact remains that it has jits headquarters in Washington and that it has just been the recipient of a signal mark of consideration from the Emperor of Germany. The organization is made up of those who have received the medal awarded by the government for saving life at sea. This is an old institution and numbers a good many members. Most of them belong to the society, and there are a number of bonory members. Among them the President, King Leopold of Belgium, and Andrew Carnegie. The Kaiser has recently been elected an honorary member and he has not only accepted but has sent tbe society his portrait handsomely framed with the royal autograph attained.

The Origin of Etiquette. The French word “etiquette” really means a label or ticket How, then, comes It to denote “conventional forma of ceremony,” which Is the definition given in Nuttall’s Dictionary? It Is said that a certain Scottish gardener In charge of Louis XlV.'i garden at Versailles was very much put out because the courtiers walked over his beds. To keep off these trespassers he placed labels or tickets—etiquettes —at various spots, with Instructions as to the proper path. At first the haughty courtiers did not deign to notice these placards, but a hint from high quarters that their walks In future must be within the etiquettes compelled their obedience. Thus, according to the story, originated our present use of the word etiquette. Butter wrappers printed while you wait at The Democrat office, i

TWO-CENT FARE LAW

Winona Lake One of Few Resorts Favored by the Railroads With Low Rates. WHERE THE METHODISTS WILL GO - Winona People Building an Interurban System of Their Own—Effect of Trolley Lines on, Excursionists and Real Estate at This Summering

Place. f The two-cent fare railroad law, passed in a number of states, is going to interfere with the plans of a good many pleasure-seekers who have been looking forward to reduced rates been looking forward to reduced rates to summer resorts. While the law provides for transportation at two cents a mile, the railroads are withdrawing old-time concessions that the public enjoyed, especially In the way of excursion rates. The two-cent fare law has dealt a hard blow to some of the summer resorts, putting a number of them entirely out of business. One that has been forced to retire Is the Island Park Assembly, conducted at Roine City, Ind., for many years. This assembly had its program for the summer made up and was developing its plans, when it found It could not get the railroad rate of other years. Rev. Frank Snyder, from its beginning associated with the Island Park Assembly, and Its last secretary, has gone to Winona Assembly, and is now endeavoring to induce the old Island Park constituency to follow him to his new field of work. The indlcar tions are that the Methodists, since the Rome City resort will not be opened to them, will make Winona Lake their summer headquarters hereafter. A stock company of Methodists is forming to build a Methodist hotel at Winona Lake at a cost of 160,000 to $75,000. The Northern Indiana Methodist Conference is considering the,, idea of making Winona Lake its permanent meeting-place. The Winona Assembly is one of the few summer organizations of its kind that has again been favored by the railroads, perhaps for the reason that last year nearly 400,000 people went to this place, practically all of them using the railroads of the middle West. The Central Passenger Association announces that the old rate to Winona Lake will prevail again this year.. It is possible that before the summer is-over most of the people going to Winona Lake can reach the place by trolley, and much of the trip can be made over an interurban system owned by the Winona people. Trolley lines in southern Michigan and northern Indiana now make connection with the Winona line at Goshen, which runs twenty-six miles south to the lake. The Winona road from Peru, which will be about forty-four miles long, is under construction, and thirteen miles of it is in operation. If this portion of the Winona system is completed this summer, it will open trolley connection with -central, eastern and western Indiana. It is the Intention to put on through cars from Winona Lake to Indianapolis when this part of the road is finished.

The Winona Interurban organization differs from any other trolley system in operation. Only a small amount of stock was issued, none of it was sold, and it is held in the treasury of Winona Assembly. Only enough bonds were issued to pay the actual cost of construction of the Winona lines, and in face of the fact that railroads and trolley companies generally are having a hard time to sell their bonds, there has been a ready demand for the Winona bonds. This demand has come largely from small investors, who from year to year go to Winona Lake in the summer, have looked closely into the purposes of the whole Winona idea, and have faith in its future.

The Winona people have done considerable work in the way of surveys and preliminary plans on a line that Is to run froms east to west from the lake to Fort Wayne, a distance of about forty miles. When this line Is built It will open trolley connection with five lines out of Fort Wayne, reaching the Wabash valley in Indiana and much territory In northeastern Indiana and in Ohio. The Winona Interurban Company has completed at Winona Lake a new power house, which cost over $300,000. It Is regarded as one of the best power plants In the country, and it is expected to furnish all the power that will be needed to operate all the lines that the Winona people have built and contemplate building. This power, house Is on the shore of Winona Lake. The indications are that ,when the Winona company gets through building Its lines it will open up trolley connection to several million people within a day’s ride of the lake. The effect of this trolley project is already being felt at the lake. It has caused an increasing demand for building lots, and the number of homes that are being erected at this place grows larger every year. The demand for building lots has been such that the Winona Assembly is opening up some new territory that is on high ground and offers a picturesque view of Winona Lake and the immediate neighborhood. In the early years of Winona Assembly, people who built homes at the lake constructed them only for summer use, but the cottages now are on a more pretentious order, more attestloa is given to architecture, and the houses are built for winter use.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Ths Seven Wonders of the World. The seven wonders of the ancient world werd* (1) The pyramids of Egypt (2) The mausoleum, or tomb, built for Mausolus, king of Carta, by his Queen Artemisia. (3) The temple of Diana, at Ephesus. (4) The walls and hanging gardens of Babylon. The banging gardens were five in number, each containing about four acres. They rose in terraces until they were level with the walls of the city, the whole pile being sustained by arches upon arches. The arches were topped with flagstones and bitumen, on which were laid sheets of lead, and on top of thjs the mold for the gardens. (5) The vast brazen image of the sun, at Rhodes, called the Collossus. This statue was thrown down by an earthquake In the year 224 B. C. After lying in ruins for centuries, the Saracens, on capturing Rhodes, tore It to pieces and sold the brass, 720,900 pounds, in 653 A. D. (6) The Ivory and gold statue of Jupiter Olympus. (7) The Pharos, or lighthouse, built on the Island of Pharos on the Egyptian coast—New York American.

Truckling the Trencher. Truckling the trencher is an old English game. The children sit on the floor or kneel In a ring. A person in the center holds the trencher, or wooden plate, and when all are ready he truckles, er spins it, at the same time calling the name of some one in the ring. The one named must spring quickly and try to catch the plate between both hands before It stops spinning. If he succeeds, he takes the place in the center, and the first truckler goes in the ring. If he does not catch the plate between both hands before it stops spinning, he pays a forfeit and Is counted out

The Raining Tree. The so called raining tree of the Canary islands seems to be a special provision of Providence for supplying the people with fresh water, which they would otherwise be without A heavy mist rises every morning from the sea and rests on the thick leaves of the tree, from which It falls in drops during the remainder of the day until It is exhausted. It is said that the water that drops from the tree furnishes every family on one of the Islands with all they need, and men aye specially employed to collect and distribute it One of the Queerest. Naturalists say that the man faced crab of Japan is one of the queerest creatures known to them. It is scarcely an inch in length, yet It has a face that is a perfectjpounterpart of a Chl-

nese 'cooly’S; with eyes, nose and mouth all clearly defined. This uncanny thing, besides having a face like a human being’s, has two legs that seem to grow from the top of its head and hang over the sides of its face.

To Piek Up an Apple With a Spoon. Place a large round apple, stem up, on a smooth floor, then try to take it up with a spoon. The apple starts rolling. If done quickly enough, the apple can be taken up while in motion, but the proper way is to wait until it ceases to roll and then carefully push the spoon far enough under the apple to get the tenter of gravity over the spoon, when there is no difficulty In picking it up. Conundrums.

Who was the first whistler? The wind. What tune did he whistle? “Over the Hills and Far Away." Why need a traveler never starve in the desert? Because of the sand which is (sandwiches) there. Why is sympathy like blind man’s buff? Because it is a fellow feeling for a fellow creature. The Awakening. At the bluebird's early chirp and the robin's merry call ! Comes a grand awakening of the flowers great and small. Lifting up their dewy foreheads to bo sun kissed by the rays Of the early morning, sunshine setting everything ablaze. When the gentle south wind murmurs Mother Nature softly calls: “Up! Rejoice, my flower children! Spring is here! Old Winter falls!" Then each flowery bud arises and, in dewy accents sweet. Answers. "We rejoice, dear mother, and fair Spring we gladly greet!" Pussy willows waken early and their downy backs display. While the tall and stately daffodils their proud heads nod and sway. Sv*et violet is most modest and droops her tiny head Beneath the woodland verdure on her soft mossy bed. The bluebells and anemones their tinted , petals nod. And all fair nature seems to sing sweet praises to her God. And every year when Spring appear* these gentle nodding flowers Awaken and proclaim their joy with all the higher powers.
