The Ruse by Which George III. Outwitted His Premier. On Jan. 19, 1805, Dr. Manners-Sut-ton, bishop of Norwich, was giving a dinner party in bis Windsor deanery when his butler informed him that a gentleman wished particularly to sea him, but would not give bis name. "Well, I can't come now In the middle of dinner, said the bishop. "Beg pardon, my lord, but the gentleman is very anxious to see you on Important business," and the batter was so urgent that the bishop apolo gized to his company and went out The gentleman who would not fce de nied proved to be King George III. "How d'ye do, my lord?" said he, "Come to tell you that you're arch bishop of Canterbury archbishop of Canterbury. D'ye accept accept? Kb, eh?" The bishop bowed low la token of acceptance. -All right," said bis majesty. "You've got a party see all then hats here. Go back to them. Good night. Next morning Pitt appeared at Windsor castle to Inform his majesty that Archbishop Moore had died the day be fore and to recommend the bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Pretyman,-for the vacant primacy. "Very sorry, very sorry. Indeed, Pitt," said the king, "bat I offered It to the bishop of Norwich last night, and he accepted. Can't break my word." Pitt was very angry, but the deed was done, as tbe king meant It should be, and so Dr. Manners-Sutton became archbishop of Canterbury and held the great office for twenty-three eventful years.

TALK OF

CAIltlOi

FOR SENATOR IS ON THE ROUNDS This Job Might Be Acceptable To Uncle Joe Because His Days as Speaker -Are Now Numbered.' CANNON COULD BREAK ILLINOIS DEADLOCK Gossip Is Started as to Who Would Be Next Speaker and Jim Tawney Appears to Be Favorite. By Sheldon S. Clint. Washington, April 2. Speculation as to whether Speaker Cannon will be elected Senator from Illinois is running a close race with the tariff bill .in in teresting members of the house. A story has come from Springfield that Cannon is the only man in sight who can break the senatorial deadlock in the legislature, and that if "Uncle Joe" will say the word he can have the toga, which until March 4. last, graced the shoulders of Albert J. Hopkins. May Be Acceptable. At this writing Cannon has made no sign, but there are close friends of the speaker's who believe the idea of being a senator is not wholly repugnant to him. It is true he used some strong language a couple of years ago when there was talk of nominating him for Vice President, but his hold on the speakership then seemed more secure than it does today. It is pretty generally believed this will be Cannon's last term as speaker, without regard to his chance of becoming a senator, And most any man would rather retire from the office in order to take a seat in the upper chamber than to be denied a re-election. Speakership Gossip. It is only natural with such speculation in the air, that there should be a lot of gossip as to who is likely to suc ceed to the speakership. Many mem bers of the house regard "Jim" Taw ney of Minnesota, as the "one best bet,' but there is no risk in predicting that Tawney would have to fight for the honor. Judge Walter Smith of Iowa would be a formidable candidate, and there would be others. The speaker ship never has gone begging and is not likely to, soon. A Good Organizer. It would require a lot of generosity to rank Tawney as one of the statesmen of congress, but he is one of the b.st organizers who ever saw service under the dome. , His ability in this direction was recognized when the house organization in its distress call ed upon Tawney to assume charge of the task of putting through the Payne tariff bill. While the skins of Payne, Dalzell and other experts of the ways and means committee were filled almost to the bursting point with tariff facts and figures, they lacked the generalship to keep the republican mem bership in line. Tawney is chairman of the appropri ations committee, which has to do with the spending of money, not the raising of it, but he had served for many years as republican "whip" of the house, and knew a thing or two about organiza tion. While the tariff heavy-weights were emitting ponderous facts and is suing huge gobs of statistics, Tawney busied himself lining up recalcitrants. Is Cannon's Choice. It undoubtedly is true that Tawney would be Cannon's choice for the sue cession, were the former to retire from the speakership, but that fact might hurt Tawney more than it would help him. It would mark him for the opposition of all the anti-Cannon mem bers of the bouse, and he could not command the solid support of the present Cannon following. There are too many other ambitious men in the Can non camp. Dalzell's hunger for the speakership has been known for years, and the same is true of Payne. The latter's ambition is to have a tariff bil bear his name is at last to be gratified, even If the work of Mr. Payne's com' mitte does not figure largely In the final result, and further service at the head of the ways and means committee will have lost its zest. Naturally, Mr. Payne would like to round out his career in the house by a term or two in the speaker's chair. It is figured that a successful physician must have a clientele of 150 families, or about 750 persons. 1 owns CURED IN ONE DAY Munjon's Cold - Remedy Relieves the head, throat and tangs almost lnunediatelr.

REPORTS WERE

NOT EXAGGERATED. As Many People of Richmond Are Tes tifying. The Root Juice instructors made many lasting friends while in Richmond. Their wonderful remedy has done worlds of good at this point, and reports of cures are being circulated from every direction. A. G. Luken s drug store Is more busy than ever wrapping up Root Juice, and listening to the many flattering reports of the great good it is doing. Mrs. Sarah Collins said: "I used to bloat so at times I could hardly get my breath, sour gases would form in my stomach and dull heavy headaches were at times so bad I felt I would go crazy; my tongue coated and I always had a bad taste in my mouth. My hands and feet were cold at times and at other times they would burn like fire, but, thank my good stars, after hearing so much about Root Juice. I went to the drug store and bought a bottle of it and after using the first bottle I went back and bought two more bottles. I have used it all and don't think I will need any more as I feel as well as I ever did in my life. Root Juice seems to be good for any trouble of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or blood. It is sold for $1 a bottle. 3 for 12.50, at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. THE HUMAN RACE. Will Man Simply Shrink Off the Face of ths Earth? A French statistician who has been studying tbe military and other records with a view of determining the height of men at different periods has reached some wonderful results. He has not only solved some per plexing problems in regard to the past of tbe human race, but Is also enabled to calculate Its future and to determine the exact period when man will disappear from tbe earth. Tbe recorded facta extend over near ly three centuries. It is found that in 110 the average height of man in Europe waa 1.75 meters, or, say, five feet nine inches. In 1790 it was five feet six inches. In 1820 it was five feet five Inches and a fraction. At the present time it is five feet three and three-quarter inches. It Is easy to deduce from these figures a rate of regular and gradual decline in human stature and then apply this, working backward and forward, to the past and to the future. By this calculation it is determined that the stature of the first men attained tbe surprising average of sixteen feet nine Inches. Truly, there were giants on tbe earth in those, days. The race had already deteriorated la the days of Og, and Goliath was a quite degenerate off. spring of tbe giants. Coming down to later time, we find that at the beginning of our era the average height of man was nine feet, and In the time of Charlemagne It waselght feet eight Inches. But the most astonishing result of this scientific study comes from the application of the same inexorable law of diminution to the future. Tbe calculation shows that by the year 4000 A. D. the stature of tbe average man will be reduced to fifteen Inches. At that epoch there will bo only 11111pntlans on tbe earth. And the conclusion of tbe learned statistician is irresistible that "the end of the world will certainly arrive, for the Inhabitants will have become so small that they will finally disappear -finish by disappearing,' as the French Idiom expresses it "from the terrestrial globe." London Tit-Bits. Whin Tower Loomed. It was while . Charlemagne Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread Itself" upon a fete held at St. Petersburg. A green copy reader produced this result: . , I "As pleasing to the eye as was all this decoration, there was additional pleasure in the sight, as one stood at the head of the Prospekt Nevska, of Charlemagne Tower, -brilliantly illuminated, looming grand and imposing against the whiter sky."
