This Is My 57 ih Birthday

ANDREW LANG. Andrew Imwr. famous as a port, rrltlc, clwlc!t ami Mithropologixt. was born at Selkirk, Scotland, March 21, ISM. lie got hta academic educatlun at Kdinburgh and after that attended St. Andrew' university. He finished hia work at lialliol college. Oxford, v here he won high honors. In 1S6S ho naa elected a fellow of Merton college. Oxford, and in he was appointee Glfford lecturer at St. Andrews in lvemty on natural religion. Mr. Lang has not written novels (exteptin; part of the writing of "The World's lelre." In which he collaborated with Rider llanKardi. but be has contributed a antall library to critical literature and his studies in verse are also regarded as cf the highest order. He ha made excellent prose translation of the 'iliad." the 'Vdyep." and of "Theocrtius." Much of hi best work has been published originally In daily newspapers. The first edition of hi work are in big demand among collectors and command very high price. Mr. Iang Is a noted fish erman and haa written interesting esaayi on old Izaak Walton.

As an instance of the Item's futily trying to appear as bravely following up the attack of its foreign advertising representative. Mr. Watson, on the Palladium's circulation, the following article is reproduced: "LET'S HAVE SOME ACTION!" To the Kditor of the Palladium: You say the Item offered $r00 to anyone who could prove the Palladium's circulation to be within 2,000 of what it claimed and you declare that yon enter the lists for this $500. Why don't you. make your words K'wxi? Why don't you prove it and tlien sue for it? If you can substantiate all your statements, the remedy Is in your hands. The testimony will ije under the sanction of an oath, under the penalty ot perjury, and subject to wholesome cross-examination. "LET'S HAVE SOME ACTIO".' The Palladium acknowledges authorship of the line "Let's Have Some Action!" and regrets iliat just such characteristic tactics as the above are heinff used by the Item to stave off any action tending to bring about u circulation investigation.

MOST CERTAIN WAY TO END A E AD COLD

What craven argument the Item uses! It wants the Palladium by a suit at law to force the Item management to make good the proposition attributed to it by that paper's foreign advertising representative, Mr. Watson, who said in the letter to a foreign adve rtiser, which the Palladium printed, that " the publishers of the Item offer $500 in gold to anyone demonstrating that the Palladium has within 2.000 gross of whut they claim." The Palladium, right f ally resenting such an imputation of perjury in its sworn circulation statements, accorded the item management the privilege of investigating the circulation of this paper, with free and unhindered access to all records and books necessary, only stipulating that in event the Item could not prove its claim the "loOO in gold'' should go to some charity designated by the Palladium. And later even this stipulation was withdrawn, leaving the Item management free to make the investigation without the necessity of forfeiting the "500 in gold."

It is a positive fact that a dose of j Pape's Cold Compound taken every j two hours until three consecutive doses are taken will cure Grippe or , break up the most severe cold, either j in the head, chest, back, stomach or limbs. You distinctly feel the cold breaking and all the disagreeable grippe

symptoms leaving after the very first ! dose. It promptly ends the most mis- ' erable headache, dullness. head j and nose stuffed up, feverishness. j sneezing, sore throat, running of the j nose, mucous catarrhal discharges, j soreness. stiffness and rheumatic !

twinges. j erable neuralgia pains, headache, dull- j ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever- j ishness, sneezing, sore throat, run- : ning of the nose, mocus catarrhal dis- i charges, soreness, stiffness and rheurnatie twinges. j Pape's Cold Compound is the result j of three years' research at a cost of j more than fifty thousand dollars and '

contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not effective in the treatment of colds or grippe.

Take this harmless Compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine made anywhere else in the world, which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 23-cent package of Pape's Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply.

STOCKHOLDERS ASK FOR A NEW TRIAL

Florence Bowmaster and a number of other stockholders in the defunct Wayne Oil company, now in the hands of a receiver, and who were ordered

i recently to pay up in full their stock

subscriptions, in order that the mo uey might be distributed among the

The Palladium, furthermore, to test just how sincerely the item would be for a thorough investigation ot the circulation of both papers made (.his offer: If the Item will arce to a full and searching circulation investigation of the Palladium and the Item by a committee composed of local merchants and a representative of each newspaper, the results of this investigation to he published in both papers, and if as a result the Palladium docs not have 2,000 more net paid circulation than the Item, the Palladium will agree to donate $500.00 in gold to any charitable institution, the hospital or the Y. M. C. A., the members of the investigating committee designate.

The Item has not only shamefully refused to back up the proposition Imputed to its publishers by Mr. Watson in his letter, but it has also, by every means under the sun. sought to evade the direct invitation to a circulation investigation, embodying very stiff conditions for the Palladium, in the latter paper's proposal. In a way the Item's attitude in this entire affair reminds one of the predicament of a certain small-town newspaper publisher. He noticed a good sized line of foreign advertising appearing and wrote to the agent handling the account to try and get the business for his paper. The agent concluded that the rates asked by the publisher were pretty steep, so wrote asking what the circulation was. This staggered the publisher, who didn't have much of any circulation, but after scratching about for a while the following letter was sent back to the agent: Pear Sir: The Podunk Rugle circulates in Asia. Africa, Europe and North and South America, and most of the time I have great difficulty in keeping it from going to Hades.

Now if the Item can not get up sufficient nerve to back up its foreign advertising representative, Mr. Watson, and the statements he made concerning the Palladium, and, furthermore, to come to the front and agree to a thorough investigation of the circulations of both papers, it is our advice that they take a nickel from their "profitable" circulation money and buy a little red fighting blood to replenish that of imitation nature which at present appears to be flowing in the Item's veins. If the Item wants some real fighting blood to raise its courage to the sticking point for a circulation investigation the Palladium will gladly stand for transfusion to bring about that satisfying result. In other words our circulation is so good that we don't suffer from cold feet.

Blow of a Whale's Tail. Ask ten persons what is the strongest animal force in the world aud nine will reply that t is the blow of a lion's paw. The tenth man may express the belief, based on experience, that it is the kick of a Missouri mule. As a matter of fact the blow of a whale's tail is incomparably the strongest auimal force. A blow delivered by a full grown whale placed at just the right distance would smash in the side of a wooden ship as though it were an eggshell. The second strongest force is the kick of a giraffe, and this terrible kick is adequate protection to these otherwise helpless animals. The stroke of the lions paw comes third on the list.

"The Liver Pills act So Naturally and EasUy." Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerva and Liver Pills and also your Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with good results. The Liver Pills act so naturally and so easily that I scarcely know that I have taken a. pill. Frequently being troubled with headache I take an Anti-Pain Pill and get immediate relier in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta. 111. Mr. Wilson was for a number cf years cashier of the First National Bank cf Sparta. Dr. Maes' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, without griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming. If the first bottle fails to benefit, your druggist will return the price. Ask him. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.

WAIT! These are real life stories: A young man, the youngest and farorIte son of an old mother, wanted to go to China aa a missionary a laudable ambition. His mother was infirm and needed his care and attention. She becked him to wait until she was gone. "Then you will be free," she said. And hia answer was: "I belong to God." lie acted as if be did not belong to any one. He stepped over his mother's prayers and went to the mission field. Shortly after his departure his mother died in an insane asylum. Another: Two daughters of a feeble old mother announced to her that they intended to change their religion, which they had a right to do. But the mother could not see the matter from their viewpoint. She was too old to change her religious feelings. She entreated her girls to wait until she passed away. The daughters did not wait. They disregarded the plea of the old mother. She was prostrated and is on the verge of death. One more: A worthy old man of eighty years lived in an Iowa village. Ills daughter, who was a widow, determined to move to California. The father pleaded that she wait the short time he might have to live. The daughter was obdurate. She offered to take the old man with her. but he said he could not leave his friends of a lifetime. The daughter went to the coast. Two weeks afterward the father died. These are not pretty stories. How many heathen will that boy have to convert before he feels that he did right in sending his mother to the insane asylum? Will the comfort of the new religion compensate the daughters for sending a dagger to mother's heart? And will that daughter in California enjoy the flowers when she remembers that she sent her father prematurely to his grave? Ah, child of some one, can you not accompany the rest of the way those who have come so far with you? Wait! You need not wait long.( Wait, I rray you.

creditors of the company, have petitioned Judge Fox of the circuit court for a new trial. The previous trial held several years ago, but which was not finally determined until about a month ago. resulted in a decision contrary to law and the evidence, according to the motion for a new trial. It another trial is denied, it is probable an appeal to the appellate court will be taken.
