Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific railroad system, was born at Wellsboro, Pa., July 6, 1860. After studying surveying in the State Normal school at Mansfield, Pa., he went West and at the age of twentytwo, began his career with the Northern Pacific as a rodman. Within three years he was made locating and division engineer. In 1887 he became division engineer In Idaho and Oregon for tho Union Pacific. Two years later he left that road to become chief engineer of the Oregon Improvement company, which owned extensive coal lands on the FaciNc coast, lie remained with the company seven years and then became general manager of the Northwestern Improvement -Company, which held the coal properties of the Northern Faciflc Railroad. In 1903 Mr. Bush took charge of the Gould properties In the West and Southwest and four years later he went to' Baltimore as president of the Western Maryland one) of the Gould railroads. In a few years he succeeded in extricating the Western Maryland from its financial difficulties and continued to direct its affairs until his election some months ago to tho presidency of the Missouri Pacific system. , Shetland Ponies.

Mr. Taft

It was the same Mr. Taft. Do you remember that daytin 1908 when the Taft train came through Indiana and stopped while Mr. Taft made his speech. There was no cheering. Men looked into his eye and this country went Republican. Men took the thing on hisword that there was to be a clinching of the Roosevelt policies. How well that expectation was fulfilled each man knows but we have the last election to look back at, and we do not find, as evidence, that Mr. Taft fulfilled his expectation. Mr. Taft would make an ideal bank president; he has a liking for "our kind of people;" he is used to and understands the needs and the wants of that sort of man. But those who read what Mr. Taft has to say about the reciprocity measure will find nothing to stir them to action, nothing vibrant and vitally courageous. Reciprocity from its very nature is progressive no matter want the measure is. Anything which would help to break down the tariff wall is apt to be the best thing obtainable to force action on special privilege. We are glad that Mr. Taft knocked in the head the old tariff bogey about the farmer and reciprocity. That is worth putting up to any and every farmer. We are not denying that many special interests, are still profiting and may profit largely by reciprocity but these same special interests are pretty well scared by the tendency. That much goodsplendid, masterly and perhaps if we were not in an age that knows a Roosevelt and a La.Follette we should find even Mr. Taft's legal brief inspiring. But we believe that however valuable Mr. Taft's speech may be for filing purposes, that it is not the sort of thing to rouse men to action to fill them with courage to urge them on in the battle. The people have tired of barren partisanship which has betrayed them. The people of this city and this country yes, and this district, are not caring about partisanship they want citizenship and really dominant leadership. This we say with regret because the time was in Indiana when a man like Roosevelt or a man who wanted to clinch the Roosevelt policies, could come In and singly raise a multitude at shouting and clamoring for him, in their hearts and souls, and not alone with their voices. But those who went to the station in the cool morning of the fall of 1908 to hear the candidate will remember the honest eye and the smiling faceand the utter inability to get down to any basis of doing business with the every day fellow. It Is the same Mr. Taft. In Indianapolis Kealing sat at the same board with Taft the same Kealing who has betrayed his party and who has been up for ousting from the very Marion Club under whose tables he 6tuck his legs under. That was the influence that took Taft away from Marion for the Fourth and the same influence which took Mr. Taft away from the Marion Club. That was the same influence that dominated the corridors the man that politicians from up and down state went to "see." The fault has not usually been that Mr. Taft's speeches have been wrong. We shall wait to see how much heart his visit has put into the old broken down machinery of reaction in Indiana before we entirely overlook his visit in the contemplation of his speech In the mean time we hope that nobody mistakes his visit as other than political or him as other than the same Mr. Taft

LAUGHTER AND TEARS. A Comedy 8cene In Which Grief Playad a Leading Part. "Stage fright Is not one of the emotions which get across the footlights," writes Miss Alice Crawford. "Andlences are for the most part as serenely unconscious of it as they are of other Individual sentiments In the actors having no relation to the incidents of the play. "I shall never forget an instance of this, curious Insensibility of the crowd. One when I was touring one of the most charming and popular girls of tha company died after only a few days' Illness. She was one of those weet, tranquil natures and bad endeared herself to us all. Her death in lodgings In the small provincial town had an element of real tragedy In It. "The news that she was dead reached the theater in the evening just as two of the actors and I were about to go on for a scene of broad comedy. We went on the stage with tears in our eyes, and I can still sea the face of one of those comedians with the great tears glistening on the paint. He was dreadfully affected. Try as be would, he could not control bis olee, and the tears kept choking him as he rattled off his lines. "The audience were convulsed every time his voice broke, and It made me cry more than ever to see the grief shaking him as be grinned and chaffed through his tears. Yet that comedy scene never went so well before. The audience never guessed." Exchange. Chinese Tea Seed Oil. Tea seed oil is the name applied to an oil expressed from the seed of the Camellia sasanquia. This Is not the tea tree (Camellia tbea). nor can its leaves be' used. It grows principally In nonan. but is found wherever the wood oil tree grows. The seeds are gathered In October, and the extracted oil usually reaches the market in Hankow about the middle of winter. It is used by the Chinese as n cooking oil. "THIS DATE 1607 Hudson started upon 175S Fifteen thousand New

STORY OF A MUD HEN.

And tho Man Who Tried to Shoot or Drown tho Bird. "It is a mighty hard thing to down a mud ben," said a Portland official. "Every one knows this homely bird, so clever that It can dodge the flash of a gun. making It very bard to kill If any one ever wanted to kill one. "A friend of mine who was a great bunter, but not acquainted with the mud ben, was out bunting on the Columbia sloughs some years ago when he saw what he thought was some kind of duck floating on the water. Be aimed his shotgun and fired, but the bird dived as the gun was dis charged, and the shot struck the water where the bird bad been a mo ment before. As the smoke cleared away the bunter saw the bird come to the surface, and be gave It the other barrel, with the same result "His obstinacy was now aroused, and he determined to kill that bird before he left the place. He shot away every round of ammunition be bad, but the bird dodged every one and still floated In the same spot In great disgust my friend sat down on the bank and lit his pipe. At the first puff of smoke the bird dived again, and this gave bim his Inspiration. "To make a short story, he smoked up all bis tobacco In an effort to drown the mud hen, but when darkness fell and be started for home the bird was still floating In the same old spot" Portland Oregonian. Lightning's Affinity For Oak. Electricity in the clouds, like Its companion lower, down, loves to seek the earth, the great reservoir of all electricity, and it finds the most available way to do so, choosing always the best conductor, conspicuous among which are the much maligned lightning rods, the high trees or the elevated steeples. It has its choice of trees as well as other things and will leap over half an acre of trees to find an oak, for which It appears to have a special attraction, and it will pass a high point to find a building that bas metal about It IN HISTORY"

Editor Palladium & Sun-Telegram: When touched, the tobacco worm squirms frantically and emits a black villianous excretion, although he is armed with a wicked looking horn, his neurons or nerve cells are so narcoti zed with his food that he has not the sense to use it. This excretion is very poisonous, the growing tobacco plants must be wormed early and often; the wormer usually wears heavy gloves for if he happenes to have a slight abrasion on his hands blood poisoning almost surely results. Your correspondent hides his "quid" behind the noble Y. M. C. A. "The devil is sick, the devil a saint would be," &c. Narcormania. This most prevalent and popular disease in the world today is known to modern medicine as an uncontrolled and uncontrollable use of habit-form ing drugs. It is a disease per se belonging to that great and rapidly in creasing class of nervous and mental diseases, the insanities, known to phy sicians as neuropsycoses. Borland's Medical Dictionary defines it as follows "(Gr. stupor; madness) 1. An insane desire for narcots. 2 alcoholic insanity. Narcomaniac. One who is affected with narcomania." The great trinity of "the plutonic realm, the greater black plague, af flicting the world today is, alcoholic-tobacco-opium; these are kindred nar cotics, especially tobacco and alcohol, they go hand in hand, boon companions in the devil's service. In a series of observations extending over 35 years, the writer has met or known of but three persons afflicted with alcoholic narcomnia who were not in veterate users of tobacco. Of course there are a good many persons who use tobacco that do not use alcoholics. and some who use alcoholics that do not use tobacco, but the world over, there is an exceedingly small percentage who use tobacco that do not use some or all forms of alcoholisc also. The History of Tobacco. Botanically speaking, tobacco is a tramp, a harmeless weed, is a primate native of no country on the globe. Consequently, historians differ widely as to its nativity, the genus nicotina tobaccum is today grown in nearly every country in the world. Some claim America as its native home; Humboldt in the 17th century found tobacco cultivated by the natives of Mexico. The early Spanish explorers found it also a cultivated plant in the islands of the Carribean ocean. A Spanish grandee introduced in Spain. The generic name nicotina is after Jean Nicot who as French ambassador to Portu gal in 1560 introduced tobacco in France. It soon became popular as a valuable medicinal plant, but was la ter condemned by the best medical au thorities as a very dangerous, unheal thy drug. Notwithstanding the doc tors condemned it as a virulent poison, its popularity spread rapidly over Eu rope as a luxury. The early and sparsely settled American colonies found such a ready market In Europe, that stringent laws had to be enacted limiting the amount raised, as the land was threatened with a famine. The priesthood of Europe condemned its use in severe terms, excommunication was the penalty for using it in church In Russia the penalty for using it was cutting off the nose. In England King James I, of Bible revision fame, levied a tax which had been 2 penny, of 6 shillings 2 penny a pound; in doing so he proclaimed, "smoking is loathsome MAKE YOUR OWN SPRING TONIC Save money as well as toning up your system You can easily prepare your own 6pring medicine at home and save about two dollars on every pint by fol lowing the LOGOS plan.

We quote from Nothnagel's Encyclopedia of Practical Medicine, volume on Diseases of the heart, p p. 618-619 "Tobacco, as a rule, causes heart symptoms when used to excess and for a long period of time. There is a wide-spread impression, borne out by Frantzel's statements, that heart disease is most frequent in those who smoke so-called imported cigars. This seems remarkable, for this variety is said to contain less nicotine than cigars of domestic manufacture. "The first symptoms that the patient becomes aware of in chronic intoxication is palpitation. Some patients have it permanently; more frequently the palpitation is paroxysmal. The attacks occur after smoking but quite frequently also spontaneously; for example, they often occur at night. The heart becomes more irritable in general; muscular movements, eating, digestion phychic emotion, easily bring on a feeling of palpitation. "The action of the heart may remain normal although frequently disturbances are observed. The characteristic change is acceleration to about 100, more rarely retardation to 50 pulsations. Irregularity and unequality are not at all rare; the two phenomena are observed in association with feelings of palpitation. Apex-beat and pulse may be weak! but occasionally a high, heaving apex-beat is observed in these conditions. "In some cases the subjective ymptoms are more severe; there is a feeling of oppression, fear, and pain. nd occasionally attacks of stenocar dia occur (see page 541.)" Did time and space permit we could fill several issues of your valuable paper with quotations from different medical authorities both ancient and modern, as to the pernitious health inurious weed. But allow me in conclu sion to allude to that senseless popular notion that because my father, grand father, uncle or aunt, who used tobac co and whiskey moderately happened to live to a fair old age, therefore, to bacco and whiskey are wholesome and conducive to logevity, with exactly the WORTH WEIGHT IN GOLD Lady Learned About Cardui, The Woman's Tonic and is Now Enthusiastic in its Praise. Mount Pleasant, Tenn. "Cardui is all you claim for it, and more," writes Mrs. M. E. Rail, of this place. "I was a great sufferer for 2 years and was very weak, but I learned about Car dui, and decided to try it. Now I am in perfect health. "My daughter, when changing into womanhood, got in very bad health. I gave her Cardui and now she enjoys good health. "Cardui is worth its weight in gold. 1 recommend it for young and old." Being composed exclusively of harm less vegetable ingredients, with a mild and gentle medicinal action, Cardui is the best medicine for weak, sick girls and women.
