He performed a similar task in Santo Domingo ln 1905, under an agreement between the island republic and the United States Government. From 1907 until 1909 Governor Colton was again in the Philippines, acting as insular collector of customs. Since 1909 he has been territorial governor of Porto Rico.

In the year 1814 Napoleon was banished to the Isle of Elba. In a few months he escaped and returned to France. His return was hailed with great rejoicing by his friends and greatly regretted by his enemies. The Paris newspapers appear to have been very severe on him at first, but changed their attitude as he drew nearer and nearer the capital. On March 9 they announced: "The Cannibal has escaped from his den." On the 10th: "The Corslcan Ogre has just landed at Cape Juan." On the 11th: "The Tiger has arrived at Gap." On the 12th: "The Monster passed the night at Grenoble." On the 13th: "The Tyrant has crossed Lyons." On the 14th: "The Usurper is directing his course toward Dijon, but the brave and loyal Burgundians have risen in a body and they surround him on all sides." On the 18th: "Bonaparte is sixty leagues from the capital; he has had skill enough to escape from the hands of his pursuers." On the 19th: "Bonaparte advances rapidly, but he will never, enter Paris." On the 20th: "Tomorrow Napoleon will be under our ramparts." On the 21st: "The Emperor is at Fontainebleau." On the 22d: "His Imperial Majesty last evening made his entrance into the Palace of the Tuileries, amidst the joyous acclamations of an adoring and faithful people." (Copyright. 1911. by Joseph B. Bowles.)

An Awful Calamity.

The New York Sun Is known throughout the country as a tory paper reflecting the attitude of its clientele the brokers, financiers and "well girthed citizens who stroll up Fifth Avenue to reduce their avoirdupois. No wonder then that the Sun makes a point at each Des Moines election of proclaiming that the town has gone to the bow-wows dragged there in fact t)y commission government. Here is a sample: Des Moines has been holding aloft the torch of civic virtue and governmental righteousness so long that it comes as a shock to learn of the existence within its fortunate bounds of those lower passions and baser appetites that trouble other communities. Yet such is the case, and today the balance of power in the much lauded commission government is held by a man described as an "old line politician," whose election was brought about by the "saloon element," the "liberal minded citizens' and "certain politicians of the old school." In the interest of truth the man referred to was John MacVlcker. And again in the interests of truth, when John MacVlcar was put Into office all , the socalled "best," "good" and "honest" citizens were scandalized. For John MacVlcker has been mixed up in politics out there for years and was an opponent of the Des Moines Plan. When he went into office he turned over a new leaf and has been an efficient officer because he couldn't well otherwise help it. But when two years ago John McVicker was re-elected commissioner under the Des Moines plan every tory paper in the country stood up and shouted from the house tops that the Des Moines Plan was nothing but a means of perpetuating officers in their jobs. This third election when MacVicker is defeated instead of hearing that the people of DeB Moines did not want McVicker we hear that commission government with the recall, the initiative and the compulsory referendum of franchises is a failure because this same gentleman is de feated!

Suppose the opponent of McVicker was supported by "liberal minded citizens" and "certain politicians of the old school?" What difference does that make? The Des Moines plan is nothing but pure democracy. If a sufficient number of people should want to have a town in which the closing hour of saloons did not exist in which there was wretched water service or a town in which all saloons were promptly closed on the dot then that is just the sort of thing they would have. A majority of the people did not want John MacVicker is this fact any more distressing than that they decided not to take sugar in their coffee?

There's A Difference.

Speaking of Des Moines, it may be well to call attention to the fact that Richmond does nto enjoy the same privileges as that city which the New York Sun considers so benighted. For ten months we have held the bids on the Richmond City Water Works. Six months from the time when they were rejected two days ago the agreement that the city has with the water company will come to an end. In the mean time the attorneys for the city are drawing up a franchise. It will be approved by the board of works and then must be ratified by council. In Des Moines the people would have the chance to vote on it in fact the franchise would not be binding on the community unless the community expressed its approval. There's a difference.

Will Taff Withdraw

"What has happened in Illinois today also would have happened in Indiana, if the Republicans of Indiana could have had an opportunity to express their preference in presidential primaries instead of being chloroformed and sandbagged by so-called Republican conventions." Does any man in Indiana doubt this statement of Senator Dixon? Joe : Kealing himself does not doubt it. Better than any other man in the state he knows exactly how the Republicans in this state were defrauded of their representation. The question comes down to actual votes and is there any doubt that the votes will not be forthcoming for Taft? All over the country there has been a repudiation of Taft's administration everywhere the people have attempted to register their protest and that protest is none the less a protest in that in many places the protest was not allowed to be heard. in that in many places the protest was not allowed to be heard. Will Mr. Taft withdraw now or will be continue to force a Republican defeat?

Stewed Apples. To stew apples so each quarter is unbroken and so clear one can almost see through it is an art, and yet it is a simple thing to do if one only knows how. Peel tart apples very thin, cut them in quarters and remove the cores and seeds. As fast as you can peel and quarter them drop the apples in a saucepan in which you have already placed cold water to the depth of two inches. When the apples are all in, put the saucepan over a slow fire, cover it till the water reaches the boiling point, then remove the cover and let the up pies simmer almost imperceptibly till you can pierce them easily with a broom splint; then sprinkle the sugat over them and let them just simmer until it is all melted. Remove the saucepan from the fire and let it stand where the apples will get cold before turning them into a dish for the table. 'THIS DATE

Analysis of Laughter. For the benefit of a melancholy world an English professor has been devoting his careful, scientific attention to laughier and has prepared an expert analysis of the whole business, according to the Providence Journal. "Laughter," he says, "is a convulsive action of the diaphragm. In this state the person draws a full breath and throws it out in interrupted, short and audible cachinnations. This convulsion of the diaphragm is the principal part of the physical manifestation of laughter, but there are several accessories, especially the sharp vocal utterance arising from the violent tension of the larynx and the expression of the features, this being a more intense form of the smile. In extreme cases the eyes are moistened by the effusion from the lachrymal glands." Philadelphia Lodger. IN HISTORY" The Washing Machine that Really Washes Clothes Clean T!

His One Great Speech Was Wholly Lost on President Cleveland. Colonel Franklin Pierce Morgan of Washington and New York never made but one great speech, and the story of it is pathetic. His audience was Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States, and his purpose was to secure a pardon for a murderer named O'Neil. in whom the colonel had become interested. "I'll never forget that day," said the colonel in telling about the incident. "I had told Dan Lamont the day before that I intended to ask Cleveland to pardon O'Neil. who was a creature of the dark places at times, but a pretty good fellow at that. Cleveland had taken the precaution to send to the department of justice and get the papers in the case. "I got up early the next morning, had a massage and was feeling tiptop I got in to see Cleveland, and 1 spoke twenty minutes. Never in my life, before or since, have I been as eloquent as I was pleading for that fellow O'Neil. The end of every sentence I uttered brushed the edges off a cloud. I concluded my argument confident that I had swept the president off his feet "Mr. Morgan." he said, 'is that all you have to say on behalf of yout friend?" "Mind you, he said "friend." " 'Yes, Mr. President." I said. 'I think that's all. " 'Mr. Morgan," he replied, "never as long as I am in the White House shall that consummate scoundrel consummate scoundrel, mind you get out of the penitentiary. "What's the use of eloquence, any how?" concluded the colonel. Buffalc Express. The old Congress hall in Philadelphia, in which Gorge Washington took the oath of of office as President of the United States at the beginning of his second term, in 1793, is being restored to the appearance it presented on that historic occasion.

CLEAN YOUR LIVER 10 30 FEET OF BOWELS WITH "SYRUP OF FIGS." More effective than calomel, castor oil or salts; gently cleanses the stomach, liver and bowels without nausea or griping. Children dearly love it.

You know when your liver is bad, when your bowels are sluggish. You feel a certain dullness and depression, perhaps the approach of a headache, your stomach gets sour and full of gas, tongue coated, breath foul, or you have indigestion. You say, "I am bilious or constipated and I must take something to-night." Most people shrink from a physic they think of castor oil, calomel, salts, or cathartic pills. It's different with Syrup cf Figs. Its effect is as that of fruit; of eating coarse food; of exercise. Take a teaspoonful of delicious Syrup of Figs tonight and you won't realize you have taken anything until morning, when all the clogged up waste matter ,sour bile and constipation poisons move on and out of your system, without gripe, nausea or weakness.

AN ARTIST OF NERVE. Remsrksbls Daring and Coelness In an Alpine Accident. The architect Viollet Ie Due was one day on the Schwarzenberg glacier at a height of about 9.000 feet, accompanied by Baptiste, the guide, who marched in front. The two men were attached to each other by a rope, as is usual in Alpine mountaineering. The guide had passed over a crevasse but when M. Viollet le Due attempted to cross it be failed and fell into the abyss. The guide tired to pull him out, but instead he found himself gradually descending. The architect perceived that his companion if he persisted in the attempt to save him would surely share his fate, and he asked if Baptiste had a family. "A wife and children," was the an swer. "Then." said Viollet le Due quietly. "I shall cut the rope." ne did so and fell, but a block of ice thirty feet lower down stopped his descent. When Baptiste saw this anc that for a time the danger was lessened he went in search of help and returned with four stout peasants. Three hours afterward Viollet le Due was ex tricated. In spite of his perilous position the ruling passion wa strong with the artist, for. although he was almost cov ered with icicles from the dripping wa ter. he had contrived to make draw ings of the novel effects he was able to perceive.

Liberty and Independence. When the presidential struggle between Clay and Jackson was at its height it is related that a band of emigrants from Kentucky and the then other western states commenced to settle on the north side of the Missouri river and called their county Clay and the county seat Liberty. At the same time another lot of emigrants from Virginia and other southern states pitched their tents on the south side of the Big Muddy and called their county Jackson and the capital Independence. And so it remains to this day. Clay stood for liberty and Jackson for independence. The Cautious Tailor. "Now, look here, Snipperton." pleaded Hackley, "why can't you be patient with his old bill of yours? I'm going to be married shortly to a girl who's worth her weight in gold." "That's all right Mr. Hackley," returned Snipperton. "but is she going to be worth my wait in gold? How much does she weigh?" Judge. In the Good Old Days.

Some conception of the severity of the weather in the west can be had from the extraordinary death of a twelve-yar-old boy who was buried by the snow thrown from a rotary plow on the Rock Island road at Smith Center. Kas. He was with a number of boys who were watching the plow throw some seventy-five feet or more, and when the others scrambled out from a sudden avalanche he was not missed. Two hours later he was found dead under the snow.
