Secretary Root says colored suffrage has proven a failure That is just what Mr. Bryan thinks about white suffrage and what he intimates weekly in the Commoner.

The business interests of the country have nothing to fear from antitrust legislation enacted by theiepubiican party and the people are satisfied their interests will be protected. Could as much have been said had the «ongressional majority been dernoeratic?

While there is no time to take the Matter up at this session, the dual tariff system brought to the attention of Congress by Senator Lodge is of the utmost importance and may solve the difficulty of adjusting the schedules without injuring the business interests.

There is no real ground for the eriticism of the renovation of the White House and the erection of the President office building which people who have never seen them, are so fond of indulging in. Except, possibly, to the art connoiseuer, the decorations of the White House are handsome and attractive and the present arrangement for receiving great crowds an improvement over those formerly existing The office building is of great convenience both to the President and to those having business with him.

President Roosevelt is sometimes criticised for his extravagance. That alleged extravagance takes the form of treating his friends with open handed hospitality and spending a considerable portion of his not large income in excess of his salary. But, if he is willing to do this, nature and, after all, the United States, the wealthiest nation in the world, pays its President but $50,000 a year whereas frugal France pays her President $120,000 and furnishes a palace at that. Mr. Roosevelt has to defray out of his own pocket many similar expenses and yet this county is much richer and more prosperous than France.

The statement that Judge Parker is to be Democratic presidential cand date with the backing of the trusts and unlimited money for the campaign is hardly ingenious enough to he eredited. Certain professional politicians are antagonistic to the president as are also many of the Cruet interores ts which have not been pleased With the President’s aggressive demands for anti-trust legislation. But Mr. Roosevelt himself could want nothing better than an opj osing candidate backed by Wall street, and whatever punishment, the trusts contemplate meting nut to the president for his temerity in interfering with their operations, it is evident that they will be carefol not to publish their program broadcast, to the country.

It is a great affliction for a woman to Bare her face disfigured by pimples or any form of eruptive disease. It makes her morbid and sensitive, and robs her of social enjoyment. Disfiguring eruptions are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great bloodpurifying medicine—Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease. It perfectly and permanently cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood’s impurity. It increases the action of the blood-making glands and thus increases the supply of pure rich blood. ■For about one year and a half my face was very badly broken out,” writes idss Carrie Adam., of 116 West Main Street, Battlecreek, Mich. «I spent a great deal of money with doctors and for different kinds of medicine, but reawed no benefit At last I read one of your advertisements in a paper, and obtained a bottle Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Be®re I had taken one bottle of this medicine I noticed a change, and after taking three battles * was entirely cured. I can well recommend Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to any aoe similarly afflicted.” The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make the little ywe profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines.

CHAPTER XXII. I THE STUDENT'S STORY. “This man Andre,’’ continued the ( I student, “is, as you have rightly concluded, your father’s brother. His real address is Siberia. Ask your friends, the police, and they will tell you that this is so. Indeed they will assure you that onr good friend is still enjoying a dog’s life in the mines, somewhere near . Sakhalin. “Very well. But, as yon are aware, he is nothing of the sort He is here and engaged in certain very important and very secret arrangements, as to which I may have more to say at a later period, supposing that it should be worth your while to come to terms with me. “Well, then, in order to be here your • respected uncle must have first left Siberia. He did so. He left the mines without permission of the authorities. In a word, he escaped and came to St. Petersburg. Capital—a very well conceived and cleverly executed escape, as to which I may some day, ever another bottle of wine, amuse yon with the details, but at present I desire to come quickly to the main interest of the story. “Cleverly as friend Andre escaped, however, the police—for once in their lives —showed some little sagacity in following up the matter. They could not catch him on the spot, neither could they find him through all the thousands of miles that lie between Sakhalin and St Petersburg, but by some chance they found him in St. Petersburg itself shortly after his arrival here. Very unlucky this, as yon will admit. “Well, they shadowed him, having • once got upon bis scent, and, though ■ Andre was clever enough to keep out of their clutches, the position became strained, and a meeting of certain people was held in order to devise some means of relieving the strain. “One of the bloodhounds died about this time. By bloodhounds I mean those who did the shadowing and hunting for the authorities. He died of loss of blood caused by a rent in his carcass made by some sharp steel substance, such as the blade of a knife.”

“He was murdered, you mean,” I interrupted in disgust. “God forgive us for harboring in the house such rascals as Andre and yourself and for dealing with you instead of handing you over to justice, as we ought to do. ’’ “You are positively rude, my friend, ” continued the student, “and extremely unjust besides, to one of us, at any rate. Andre may be all you imply, but then he is a near relative of yours and entitled to indulgence from the respectable members of his family, but I what ill do you know of met lam an innocent lamb, incapable of hurt or harm. lam telling you a picturesque ! story of the adventures of this near rel- i ative of your own. What have Itodo I withit? lam narrator only. ” “Stop,” I said. “What has all this to do with my father? You are not to suppose that I shall submit to be put off with your conceitedly told yarns about others unless they carry substan- ; tial information as to my father and his I whereabouts. The check can be stopped ! and you arrested!” * ‘And you can do just what the bloodhound aforesaid did,” my companion laughed, “and that is, lie down in some dark poijch qr gateway, with a big hole in you, and take your last look up at the stars while your blood runs over the pavement. But surely we need not quarrel over a grievance which does not exist. I am coming to your precious father in a minute or two.” “Gc on, then,” I said. I was beginning to loathe the sight of this little toad of a man. “Well, the bloodhound died, as I say, but another was put upon the scent, and, when be a third, and still they would not let Andre alone, though they could not catch him. “Then, at last, one of us—l mean, one of the body of men and patriots who were privileged to call themselves the friends of Andre—hatched a very brilliant plot for the relief of Andre and for the getting of him safely over the frontier, which—ardently as our friend desired to go abroad for the good of his health and for. the advantage of certain projects in which he was interested—had been hitherto qpite impossible, owing to the care with which the authorities had laid their plans to prevent it.

“The railway stations bristled with gendarmes and ununiformed policespies, in fact—and the frontier was guarded as though it were a powder magazine and some .one had threatened to put a match to it. “Now, this was the plan, and you must listen very carefully to it, for I am pledged to interest you, and the 5,000 rubles in my pocket have been paid me for what I am going to tell you next. “But as this part of the tale is so very interesting we will drink a glass of wine to steady our nerves.” “Drink the whole bottle and be hanged, only go on!” I raved. “Good wines should never be taken too fast,” said the little rascal, deliberately sipping from his glass. “And this is good wine—claret, do you call it, or burgundy? I don't often have the opportunity of sampling these expensive vintages, and therefore I do not claim to be mnch of a indsre. Taka a

THE MYSTERY OF COUNT LANDRINOF.

glass. You won’t? Well, I see you are excited to hear what I have to tell you, so here goes. “One of us—one of them, I should say—conceived this idea. Andre, he knew, they all knew, was well connected. He owned to a brother who ranked as a patrician among the patricians. Moreover, Andre made it a boast that he bore more than a strong family likeness to his brother, the great Count Landrinof. “This ingenious person, the hatcher of the plot, took the trouble to visit Count Landrinof at this very aristocratic and palatial establishment in which I am at this moment an honored guest. He came ostensibly to ask for a contribution for some benevolent enterprise which he mentally evolved for the occasion, but in reality to judge whether the brothers were really so much alike that there was reasonable expectation that they might be mistaken one for the other. “Well, he met with extraordinary success; double—nay, treble—success. Your father, he found, was a generous man, and, pardon me, more than a little foolish. He subscribed 5 rubles toward Ivanof’s fund (we will call him Ivanof for convenience), which 5 rubles Ivanof found very useful. “Secondly, Ivanof saw at a glance that Andre and brother were quite exceptionally and marvelously alike and might easily be mistaken the one for the other. That this is so none knows better than yourself, for to this fact you are indebted for the pleasure of Andre’s presence under your roof.” “Go on!” I said. Even now I could not for the life of me foresee what was coming. “Thirdly, Ivanof, while waiting in the great hall down stairs—a splendid hall, by the way; but is it not cold in winter? A space of that size would, I should say”—

“Go on!” I cried, stamping my foot. I could have twisted the little rascal’s head off but for the frenzied desire I now felt to bear the end of his tale. “Well, thirdly, then, Ivanof had the pleasure of seeing another gentleman besides the count, an Englishman named Herbert, or Hulbert, and of hearing the end of your father’s conversation with "him, which fell in marvelously well with Ivanof’s plans. The two gentlemen were, in fact, arranging for a shooting party at a place called Erinofka, and fixed upon the days and hours for their sport in Ivanof’s presence. Then our friend laid his plans, which were made very easy for him by his visit to the count and what he had learned there. “Do you follow me now? Have you mastered the plot of my tale? Need I i go on?” I [to be continued.)

Proverbs “ W hen the butter won’t | come put a penny in the! ci urn,” is an old time dairy ! proverb. It often seems toj work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not jyiin strength and flesh we say give them Scott’s Emulsion. It is like the penny in the nr Ik because it works and because there is something astonishing about it Scott’s Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste md the remedy takes just as naturally to the children because it is so perfectly adapted t > their wants. For all , weak and pale and min children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment

Pain From Inflammatory Rheumatism Would Have Killed Our Son. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills Saved Him. “We began to use Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills six years ago. My wife had liver trouble and a neighbor gave her some of your liver pills to try, after which we bought a bottle of them and my wife used them until cured. Since then I have used them and I must say that I have never used any pills that gave me the satisfaction these have. We also use Dr. Miles’AntUPain Pills with greatest satisfaction. Three years ago our son Harry had inflammatory rheumatism. He had suffered so much that I believe if we had not given Mm Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills which relieved him almost instantly he would have die ’. lam always glad of the opportunity for praising Dr. Miles’ Remedies.”— James Evertt, Alton, Ills. “I was afflicted with neuralgia for years and never found any permanent relief till I began using Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. They are a sure cure for headache and neuralgic pains. Only this morning I recommended them tq a friend with a severe headache and in a half hour he came into the store smiling. The headache was gone. We use them in the family and find them excellent for the women folks. This high altitude makes them very nervous. Grandma says I should tell Dr. Miles she could not live nere were it not- for the Anti-Pain Pills that she takes occasionally.”—L. B. Morris, Helena, Montana.

It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It frequently brings a dear baby to homes that have been barren for years.

<£■< V ... i COME AED GO LIKE CLOUDS UPON A SUMMER SKY." The Advantage .of Permanency.Since the SINGER, sewing-machine was first invented, more than four hundred c;.:erent makes of sewing-machine have come and gone. Now it is a well known fact that -ewing-machines wear out in parts; if such parts cannot be duplicated, the whole machine is no longer of any value to its owner. All SINGER parts are absolutely interchangeable. Exact duplicates of each and c -cry part are always and instantly obtainable at SINGER salesrooms in everv city in the World ; this makes the SINGER everlasting. WHAT A CONTRAST WITH THE ANONYMOUS MACHINES SOLD BY IRRESPONSIBLE DEALERS. Many a woman has experienced the annoying loss of some small part from one of •aese machines and has then found that the dealer had no duplicate or that the manufacturers had gone out of business and she must get out of her dilemma as best she could. During the last half-century nearly Seventeen Million SINGER Sewing-Machines h -.ve been made and sold. This tremendous product would make one gigantic machine head that Would reach from the SINGER factory at Elizabeth, N. J., to the factory at Kilbowie. Scotland.
