By EDWIN A. NYE. MADE HIS OWN SCHOOL. Not every boy is like this one. Frank Andrea of Springfield, N J., aged fifteen, made a school for himself. Many boys of fifteen regard school as a sort of necessary evil to be borne because they cannot dispense with it. Not ao yonng Andrea. Ills father lost his Job, and his mother became 111. There were several other children, all of whom were too young to work. Frank waa compelled to quit school and help support the family. He found a Job In a factory at Newark, walking two miles to work every morning and back again at night. But The Idea of leaving school troubled bim. He went to the board of education of his town and asked the clerk what chance there might be to attend a night school. There was no night school. "Unless there are a sufficient number of applications to show a sentiment In favor of it." said the clerk, "no night school will be started." "How many applications are necessary?" asked the boy. He was Informed that twelve or fifteen would be enough, whereat Frank began to try to get that many. In order to do so he had to eonvlnce some of the working boys of their need of further schooling. And Strangely enough, be found his propaganda an uphill task. He would say to the boys, "Do you want td be a factory hand all your life?" And some of them said they bad no further ambition. Frank finally got fifteen of bis friends to Join him. "It Is likely," says the report, "that a night school will be established in Springfield." Surely. But. whether or no. It is quite certain Frank Andrea will not be a factory hand all his life. The republic spells opportunity. As Garfield beautifully said. "Our society is not like the society of Europe, where, like the strata of the earth, one layer holds the other firmly down; bat, rather, it is like the waves of the great sea, where the lowest drop may rise and glisten on the topmost wave." Frank Andrea of Springfield, N. J., Is one of those drops. THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ever since I have been keeping house," says I. C. Hames, of Marbury, Ala. "I consider it one of the best remedies I ever used. My children have all taken it and it works like a charm. For colds and whooping cough it is excellent." For sale by all dealers. ( Advertisement) PYRAMID OF CHEOPS. It Would Take a Hundred Millions to Duplioate It Today. One of the most familiar questions asked by "personally conducted" tourists visiting Egypt and the great pyramid built by Cheops is, "1 wonder how much It cost to build it?" A building contractor with a head for figures and building estimates has estimated that the Cheops pyramid could not be dupli cated today for less than $100,000,000 With modern machinery and the em ployrtlent of 40,000 stonecutters, haul, ers, quarrymen, masons and laborers a duplicate of the pyramid could be erected in two years. It has been calculated that the work really required the services of 100.000 men for thirty years. The Cheops pyramid occupies a space of 12i acres nd Is 74fl feet high and contains 143.M5.000 cubic yards of stone and granite. The material alone represents an Item of $36,000,000. while the labor would Increase this about by $72,000.000. To this must be added $3,000,000 for tools, transportation and similar Items. The pyramid is built on a solid rock 150 feet deep, and td build a foundation of this character would add to the cost to the extent of making tba tout of $100X0,00a Wnr Heck World

Better Arguments Needed.

In its campaign to defeat the direct primary bill now pending before the Indiana legislature, the Indianapolis News remarks: "The direct primary fallacy is based on the supposition that the spontaneous unity that the people sometimes show in support of some notable leader can be trusted as a motive force in the ordinary exigencies of politics. As a matter of fact, such unity is rare, and when it does occur, no kind of political system can resist it. The most unscrupulous and determined boss is not fool enough to resist it and would gain nothing if he did. The opportunity of the political boss and manipulator comes in differences of views among the people and uncertainty as to which candidate may be most suitable for an office. Rarely does any one man stand out as so pre-eminently fit or even so widely known as to command popular support. The mere necessity that the candidate be known in some way has shown its effects in direct primaries. Conspicuousness, no matter from what cause mere notoriety has contributed t6 the success of candidates. Self-advertising ability counts for much in this kind of politics." If this is the best argument that -the News can advance against a measure designed to place, all political machinery in the hands of the voters, there is no reason why the bill should not become a law. The Republican national convention in Chicago is still fresh in the minds of the people of this state, which disgraceful affair was the most convincing argument possible to bring home to the voters the necessity of shearing unscrupulous party machine leaders of their autocratic powers. Political parties must be managed by executive boards called national committees. There is no dispute as to that fact. But the wrecking party which was in control of the Chicago convention proved to the most indifferent voter that the members of national committees must be chosen directly by the people and not by boss-controlled conventions. The great majority of Republicans last spring desired the retirement of that monumental failure, President Taft, and the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. Had the direct primary for the election of national committee members and delegates to the convention prevailed in every state prior to the Chicago hold-up, does the News doubt for a minute that Col. Roosevelt would have been the standard bearer of the Republican party last fall? It is hard to believe the News really believes the direct primary is a failure. It is more logical to believe that the News regards this institution such a success that If established in Indiana, the well-oiled, smooth-running and remarkably effective machine that paper has created in Marlon county would be reduced to junk the first time the people of that county had an opportunity to swing their new weapon.

Initiating Ordinantes.

One of the most interesting features of the Stotsenburg commission form of government bill relates to the initiative of ordinances by the citizens, and the procedure following such action. The following sections of the bill are devoted to this feature: Section 19. Any proposed ordinance may be submitted to the council by petition signed by electors of the city equal in number to the percentage hereinafter required. Within ten days of the date of filing such petition with the mayor, the said mayor shall examine and ascertain whether or not said petition is signed by a requisite number of qualified electors and he shall attach to said petition his certificate showing the result of said examination. If, by the mayor's certificate, the petition is shown to be insufficient it may be amended within ten days from the date of said certificate. The mayor shall, within ten days after Its amendment, make like examination of the amended petition, and if that certificate shall show the same to be insufficient, it shall be returned to the person filing the same, without prejudice to the filing of a new petition to the same effect. If the petition shall be found to be sufficient, the mayor shall submit the same to the council without delay. The petition accompanying the proposed ordinance shall be signed by electors equal in number to 25 per centum of the votes cast at the last preceding general election for all candidates for mayor and shall contain a request that the said ordinance be submitted to a vote of the people if not passed by the ocuncil. Such council Bhall either (a) pass said ordl nance without alteration within twenty-five days after attachment of the mayor's certificate to the accompanying petition, or (b) thirty days after the mayor's certificate to the accompanying petition, provided said ordinance has not been passed, the mayor shall refer said petition and ordinance to the board of election commissioners who shall call a special elec tion at once, unless a general municipal election is to occur within ninety days thereafter, and at such special or general municipal election, if one is so to occur, such ordinance shall be submitted without alteration to the vote of the electors of the city. The ballots used in voting upon said ordinance shall contain these words: "For the ordinance" (state the nature of the proposed ordinance) and "Agains.t the ordinance" (state the nature of the proposed ordinance). If the majority of the qualified electors voting upon the proposed ordinance shall vote in favor thereof, such ordinance

THE KITCHEN DRESSER. ft Waa Originally a Bench on Which Meat Waa Dressed. Dr. Johnson tells us that the kitchen dresser was a bench in the kitchen on which meat was drfessed or prepared for table and gives the following lines in support of his view: 'TIs burnt, and so Is nil the meat. What dogs are these? Where Is the rascal cook? Bow durst you, vUlains. bring; It from the dresser And serve thus to me that love It not? Shakespeare. A maple dresser In her hall she had. On which full many a slender meal she made. Dryden, Wright in his "Domestic Manners of the Middle Ages" says: "One of the great objects of ostentation in a rich man's bouse was bis plate, which at dinner time be brought forth and spread on the table in sight of his guests. Afterward to exhibit the plate to more advantage the table was made with shelves or steps, on which the different articles could be arranged in rows, one above another. It was called in French, or Anglo-Norman, a dreasoir, because on it the different articles were dressed or arranged.'' It is this to which the modern poet refers: The pewter plates on the dresser Caught and refleoted the flame as shields of armies the sunshine. PRESENCE OF MIND. . The Way Two Englishmen Captured Four Hundred Prisoners. Toward the close of the peninsular war 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne. afterward Field Marshal Lord Seaton. Colborne. who was wounded at Talavera. had been disabled for some time, but In 1S13 he was in active service again, and when Wellington's army crossed the frontier into France he performed what was indeed the most amazing feat of bis career. When riding, with no comrade but the famous Sir Henry Smith, separated from his column, he saw 400 French soldiers passing along a ravine below him. "The only way was to put a good face n the matter. he wrote. "So 1 went up to them, desiring them to surrender. The officer, thinking, of course, the column was behind me. surrendered his sword, saying theatrically. 'Je vous rends cette epee, qui a bien fait son devoir.' 1 surrender this sword, which has done its duty well.) The 400 followed his example." Sir Henry Smith used to declare that he bad never seen such cool presence of mind as Col boras displayed on this aecaalea. Tjoadon Spectator.

S. M. HARTMAN, M. D. Columbus, Ohio. I give a portion of a letter lately received, which was to me very interesting. I also give a portion of my answer. The writer says: "Dear Doctor Hartman: I am very much interested in your articles. I have no doubt they will do a great deal of good. Sometimes I am almost tempted to buy a bottle of Pe-ru-na and have it on hand, because of your convincing talk, but I belong to a health club. It is one rule of this club to have nothing to do with disease or medicine. Our whole talk is health and things that make for health. We are determined, all of us, to never use medicine in any form. Of course we do not attempt to deny the usefulness of medicine on some occasions, but for ourselves we have decided that we will so live that we shall never need the services of a doctor or the assistance of a medicine. What would you do if you were in my place? My Dear Boy: Your letter interests me greatly. I am glad to know that you are reading my articles that are appearing now in the papers. You have perhaps noticed that a portion of each article is devoted to the subject of keeping well. . ' What would I adviss you to do under

This is My 71st Birthday ADMIRAL SIR ARCHIBALD DOUGLAS. Admiral Sir Archibald L.. Douglas, for many years a leading figure In the British navy, was born in the city of Quebec, Feb. 8, 1842. At the age of 14 he became a midshipman in the British navy.

Refreshments. the circumstances? 1 should advise you to go right on as you have been doing. Get along without medicine if you possibly can. Look toward Nature for assistance. Clean habits, frugal diet. Early to bed, in a well ventilated room. Work every day at something you like to do. Keep up your enthusiasm. Have faith in Nature and Nature's God. The laws of Nature are inexorable, but the rewards of Nature are kind and beneficent beyond all expression. If you do these things you may during your whole life escape the necessity of using medicine, but even with all this you may occasionally need medicine. j But you must remember that you and your club are exceptional people, that the great masses of people go on thoughtlessly. Their diet is very ill fitted to sustain their bodies properly. Their exposure to cold and wet and heat and fatigue is very reckless. In short, they do not know how to take care of themselves. Consequently, a medicine is necessary often. The medicine Pe-ru-na is a climatic medicine. It is intended to reach climatic troubles, troubles that arise as the direct result of exposure to climate. It is also intended to meet those difficulties which arise from improper nourishment of the body and improper diet, producing indigestion and biliousness. The principal climatic trouble in our country is catarrh ,and a large number of people have catarrh. Perhaps one-half of our people. Such people not only need to take care of themselves as you boys are doing, but they need medicine to render them a little assistance. Pe-ru-na is exactly what they need. If we could have the world full of people that are living as you are, perhaps I should then not advocate the use of any drug, but you are only one jn ten thousand. The rest are going on heedlessly and recklessly, and it is for them that I am recommending my Pe-ru-na. The averagehousehold needs Pe-ru-na more than I can possibly describe. The small children, the father and mother, the grand children, are all stumbling along heedless of the laws of Nature. A sudden attack of coW. a chill, eocjsjb. hoarsens. tightness tm

Now, such people ought to have Pe-ru-na. At the first symptom that pre sents itself, or any disturbance of the body, a few doses of Pe-ru-na should be taken. If the disease is acute Pe-ru-na should be taken a teaspoon nil every hour. If it is a dis turbance that allows the patient to go about his usual business, taken ac cording to the directions on the bot tie is best. If this is done it will save the people untold expense and suffer ing. Not one case in fifty that comes under the care of the doctor would occur if Pe-ru-na was kept in the house and taken at the very outset of the trouble. Yes, all this is true and more, I have hoped all my life to live to see the day when obedience to the laws of Nature would be prevalent. when the people would live so they would not invite disease or provoke disturbance in the body. But I have not lived to see that day yet. I hardly think I shall. But I have lived to see the day" when the people and even the medical profession are very much more interested in hygiene and sani tation than they used to be. At one time, as a writer, I seemed to be all alone in trying to get the people to listen and become obedient to the laws governing their bodies. Now there are writers galore saying the same things. I am profoundly grateful that this is so. So long as there are disobedient ones, so long we must have medicine. Even those who are trying to be obedient to the laws of Nature, trying their very best, need medicine for un avoidable conditions that often "bring on some derangement. If such little derangements were met promptly with Pe-ru-na the day would more quickly come when even Pe-ru-na would not be needed, the day when the drug docter would absolutely go out of business. May that day hasten. I shall d all I can while I do live to hurry on the coming of that millennium when all drugs will be relegated to the rubbish heap and all doctor books laid aside as curiosities.
