CARDINAL FARLEY.

John Cardinal Farley, the distin

guished New York prelate who was re

cently elevated to the cardinalate, was born In County Armagh, Ireland, April 20, 1842. He came to the United States before the civil war, and located in

New York. In 1866 he graduated from St. John's College, Fordham, and a year or so later Cardinal McCIoskey sent him to the American College in

Rome to complete his theological stud

ies. He was ordained in Rome, and a year after his return to New York he was appointed secretary to Cardinal McCIoskey. In 1884 he was made a Monsignor, and seven years later was

appointed Vicar General of the arch

diocese of New York. In 1892 he was consecrated an auxiliary bishop, and in

1902 he succeeded Archbishop Corri-

gan in the archdiocese of New York.

Why He Was Late. "What made you so late?" "I met Smithson." "Well, that is no reason why you should be an hour late getting home to supper." "I know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on telling me about his stomach trouble." "Did you tell him to take Chamberlain's Tablets?" "Sure, that is what he needs."

Easy to Identify. A Chinese prince in this country visited police headquarter in New York and was much interested in the thumb mark records preserved there as a method of identification for criminals. "We have used thumb" marks for several thousand years as seals on mercantile and other papers," the Chinaman told the man In charge of the thumb" mark bureau, "but we do not use them In any other Nvav." "How do you identify your criminals?"' asked the thumb mark man. "Oh. we have a very simple method of identification -we cut off their heads." Saturday Kvenlns: Tost.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY WHEN BENEDICT ARNOLD WAS LOYAL. By A. W. MACY. In the early days of the Revolutionary war one of Washington's most trusted generals laid before him a plan to Invade Canada by way of the Maine wilderness and capture Quebec by surprise. Washington approved, the project was undertaken, and came astonishingly near succeeding. The little army was composed of about 650 poorly clad men, with barely 400 good muskets among them, and only five rounds of, ammunition to each man. After a march of almost Incredible hardships through 200 miles of what is to this day a mountainous wilderness, the little army climbed the clitfs and boldly demanded the surrender of the city. But It was In no condition to enforce its demand, for the place waa strongly fortified and garrisoned by 1,900 men. So the little band withdrew up the river a few miles, where it encountered a detachment of British soldiers. A sharp fight ensued, during which the leader of the Americans waa badly wounded. Had he been killed then and there his nam would have gone down In history as that of a patriot and hero. But he recovered, and his name la now the synonym for treason In this countryBenedict Arnold. Had his bold expedition succeeded, it probably would have united Canada te the thirteen colonies, and changed the whole course of the war.

Truth Is ever stranger than fiction! Jaeques Futrelle, writer of romance, drew heavily on his imagination from time to time for dramatic situations, which the cynical critics styled unreal and impossible, but even that novelist's wonderful mind never pictured a situation so dramatic as the one in which he played a leading and gallant part standing on a water filled deck of the greatest marine monster man ever built, waving farewell to his wife, safe in a lifeboat with steerage women as her companions, as he bravely went to his death. Who would ever picture Archie Butt, an army officer and lord chamberlain of the White House, an authority on social etiquette and a favorite at pink teas, as one of the greatest heroes of the greatest sea tragedies of all ages. No soldier ever went to a more gallant death than Major Butt, who, as he carefully seated the last woman passenger in a life boat said, "Goodbye, luck is with you. Remember me to all the folks at home." Then there was the case of Col. Astor. What genius of fiction would ever see in that luxury-loving millionaire, a man who had, as the world regards it, every thing in the world to live for, calmly, smilingly electing certain death so that some poor European peasant women might live. What writer of fiction has ever set on paper a scene so dramatic as the one which occurred in the wireless cabin of the Titanic, where Chief Operator Phillips, frantically sending out his "S O S" and "C Q D" flashes across the Atlantic, was being stripped of his life belt by a cowardly, gigantic stoker. Then picture to yourself the sudden entrance of Assistant Operator Bride, who calmly shot down the stoker. All of this took place without Phillips once taking his finger off his key. Poor Phillips went down to death still doing his gallant best to save as many of his fellow human beings as possible. The timely arrival of the Carpathia on the scene of the tragedy is the evidence that Phillips work was not in vain. Surely truth is stranger than fiction, and Nature the greatest dramatist.

Don't Be Deceived

Come On, Mr. McKinley! We can now expect another feverish bulletin from Congressman McKinley, director general of the Taft campaign, informing the startled nation that two more states have been "bought" by the naughty steel and harvester trusts. Yesterday Nebraska and Oregon Republicans went on record as favoring the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt for the Republican nomination for president. The result in these two states was another striking example of the unpopularity of Col. Roosevelt. Too bad how he has lost out with the American people.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

UNCLE SILAS SULKCD.

A Blow To The Navy.

It is to be hoped the senate naval committee will not follow the assine policy of the Democratic house naval committee in reporting a naval increase bill without providing for the construction of any battleships. The American people regard such policy as extremely poor economy. The navy is the nation's one absolute guarantee of peace and failure to keep up this national peace insurance cannot be condemned too strongly. Congress should remember that the navy protects our great coast line, backs up the Monroe Doctrine, safeguards the Panama Canal and holds for us our insular possessions.

A FAMOUS DWARF. Borulwaski, the Pole, Was Handsome, Scholarly and Witty. A notable dwarf, who had a long lease of life over parts of two centurieshe was born in 1739 and died in 1S37 was Borulwaski, the Pole, of whose debut an interesting tale is told. As a boy of fifteen, when he was just one Inch higher than a two foot rule. Borulwaski was presented to the Empress Maria Theresa, who was so charmed by his good looks and grace that she seated him on her lap and gave him a hearty kiss. To the queen's question as to what he considered the most interesting sight in

Vienna the dwarf replied, "What I now behold, so little a man on the lap of so great a lady." This speech rendered the little fellow a great favorite. He became a special favorite of Stanislaus II., who took him to England and introduced him to George III., and for more than half a century Borulwaski made his hcme at the English court. This dwarf, who at his tallest was a yard and three inches, had a sister whose head Just reached her big brother's shoulders. -Borulwaski was not

only a handsome and courtly man, but a scholar of repute. He lived in five reigns, and when he died, lacking only two years of reaching the century mark, he was laid to rest in Dunham, side by side with the Falstaffian Stephen Kemble.

A DUEL IN THE DARK.

The Unexpected Happened When the Englishman Fired. Among the less known writers of the nineteenth century was Samuel Rogers. He kept open bouse and fre

quently entertained Dickens, Macaulay, Carlyle and other celebrities of the time. Rogers was a notable wit, but unfortunately his thrusts were not always tempered with kindness. Irving in a letter says: "1 dined tete-a-tete with him some time since, and he served up his friends as he served up his fish with a squeeze of lemon oyer each. It waa very piquant, but it eet my teeth on edge." This same caustic flavor of his wit is shown In a story he was fond of telling to the discredit of French valor. An Englishman and a Frenchman had got Into a wordy squabble, which led to mutual insults and a challenge. Nothing could save the honor of either of them but a duel. But duels were not fought to kllL Even serious wounds were unpleasant, and a mere scratch would answer the purpose much better. So that the antagonists might have a better chance of missing one another they repaired to a dark room. All was in readiness. The signal was given. The Englishman-, no less eager to preserve his foe than himself, groped to the open fireplace. He pointed bis pistol tip the chimney and fired. "And. by Jove," Rogers was wont to exclaim, "he brought down the Frenchman!" Youth's Companion.

What Aunt Melissa Had to Say When She Heard the News. Aunt Melissa Splgott was such an exceedingly energetic talker that the

youngsters of the family used to sup-

pose that her tongue must be copper toed, because it never wore out Uncle Silas, on the other hand, was as eco

nomical of words as a imarketman is J

of early strawberries. The too free exercising of this unruly member of Aunt Melissa's on one occasion gave Uncle Silas serious offense, which he manifested by a severe silence lasting for several days. At the end of that period one of the older daughters approached her mother upon the subject with the remark. "Ma. seems like you ought to make up with pa by now." "Make up with pa!" exclaimed Aunt Melissa in great astonishment. "Make np what?" "Why," returned the daughter, "don't you know poor pa's feeling bad yet? He's still huffing." "Huffing for the land's sake! How long's he been a-huffing?" "Ever since you came down on him so hard about wasting sugar by not stirring his coffee; that's three days ago." "Why, you don't tell me, Janie Maud!" Aunt Melissa looked amazed. "Your pore pa. Been a-huffing for three days, and I never mistrusted a thing of it!" Youth's Companion.

KITCHEN TEACHES PARLOR. Katy and Hilda and Lena work in your kitchen and in the kitchens of your neighbors. If you want to learn something Interesting ask the postmaster of your town how much money these housemaids send during the year to their kin across the water. You will be surprised. The money goes by registered letter to the old couutry to be used in bringing father or mother or sister or brother to this country, or to pay doctor's or undertaker's bills, or to buy comforts for the old folks. In saving this money the girls do not regard their enforced frugality as a sacrifice, but as a joy. Compare the filial solicitude of the

strong muscled, deep chested, rosy

faced lasses with the ungrateful, even heartless, conduct of some native born girls. Is there something in the American atmosphere that breeds insurrection under the rooftree? Certain it is that the old time family discipline, resiect for parental authority, reverence and ready obedience are lacking in niauy families today. Maybe it is a logical reaction. Fossibly the stern custom of a former generation was too severe. Possibly. Anyway there Is apparent nowadays a deplorable loosening of discipline, n disposition to push the parents into a corner,. a disregard of parental authority. In some places there is the open sneer at parental direction. Is It not so? Who that reads the newspapers is not shocked at the frequent stories of ingratitude of children, or worseabandonment or abuse of parents? The easy manner of loosening family ties is appalling. This Is not vapid pessimism. It is God's truth.

And it is serious because when the family is stricken society Is hurt in Its vitals. Katy and Hilda and Lena bless their tender hearts when they come over the ocean to serve a prosperous people do not cease to love and remember the old folks at home. Katy and Hilda and Lena are competent to teach Muriel and Agatha and Genevieve of the front parlor some much needed lessons of filial devotion.

Swiff a Jake on Partridge. Partridge, the almanac maker, who taught old Moore his business, will be remembered as the victim of an extraordinary practical joke played on him by Dean Swift. Against Partridge's almanac for 170S the dean published a rival almanac, predicting Tartridge's death on March 29, about 11 at night, of a raging fever. And on March 30 appeared a pamrhlet giving an account of the almanac maker's death, with his confession that he was an impostor. This was followed by Swift's "Elegy on the Death of Mr. Partridge." which so completed the deception that the Stationers' company struck Partridge off the rolls and arplied for an injunction against the publication of almanacs In his name. rartridse advertised that he wa not only alive, but was lo alive npon March 'JO.

NEW STOMACH RELIEF GETS COUNTRY-WIDE ENDORSEMENT

The new remedy for indijestion called "Digestit," has been found a certain quick relief and' permanent remedy for stomach disorders. Letters from thousands who had suffered the tortures of indigestion and got relief from the use of "Digestit" are evidence of its merit. The enormous increase in demand from every part of the country is proof of its popularity. But you do not have to take anybody's word for it try it yourself on an absolute guar

antee, get a package and if you don't get relief you can get your money back for the asking. "Digestit" is a little tablet easy to swallow, and absolutely harmless. It digests all the food, prevents fermentation, stops gas formation, prevents stomach distress after eating, aids assimilation, relieves indigestion almost instantly and cures dyspepsia 50c.
