THE FIRST TWINGE

Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr, Williams* Pink Pills If You Would Be Easily Cured. Mr. Frank Little, a well known citizen of Portland, lonia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. In speakin* about it recently, he said: “My body was run down and in no condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were jiseless at times. I was unable ito sleep or rest well and ray heart pain- ’ ed me so terribly I oould hardly &tand it My stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had Inflammation of the stomach. I was extremely nervous and could not bear the least noise or excitement. One whole side of my body became paralyzed. “As I said before, I had been gufferiifg about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement' soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or Of the paralysis. The pills aFe for sale by all druggists or sent, postpaid,'on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

A Willing Martyr.

Speaker Cannon tells a story of an Illinois mail who was fond of quoting the familiar saw, “The office should seek the man, not the man the office.” The time came, however, when this individual wanted a certain oifice, to secure which he adopted the time-hon-ored means of getting votes, despite his oft repeated belief in the maxim. When a friend reminded him of this, calling attention to his wholesale distribution of money, etc., the candidate replied: “As a matter of fact, old man, I still maintain my position. The oifice should seek the man; but, all the same, the man should be around when the office is looking for him.”

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When a person gets np in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it is jtn almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of all doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandretli’s Pills, which has been in use for over a wnhir. wirl » pnr~yn!Tr-grandbaren f<Tim,tiJffh e n doctors were few and far between IP when Peop!6 had to have a remedy fflfet could absolutely be depended upon. ~ Brandreth’s Pills can be depended upon and are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated.

Pope’s Skull.

The skull of Alexander Pope, the poet and satirist, is in the private collection of a phrenologist. During some alterations in the churchyard where Pope was buried it was necessary to move his coffin, which was opened at the time to ascertain the state of his -remains. By bribing the sexton of the church possession of the poet’s skull was obtained for the night, and in the morning a different skull was returned instead. The cost of the skull, Including the bribe, was fifty pounds.

So Co-operation.

“Your ‘woman’s lunch club’ proved to be a failure? How did that happen?” “No—er —men ever came to lunch there.” «

WORK OF CONGRESS

The Brownsville .affair occupied most of the time in the Senate Monday, the principal discussion being on a resolution offered by Senator Lodge providing for an investigation and By silence conceding the authority of the President to take the action he did in dismissing colored soldiers. Senator Gearip made an address on the Japanese question, advocating a resolution directing negotiations for a revision of the treaty with Japan. The House.passed a bill providing for a judicial review of orders excluding persons from the use of United States mail facilities. A day iu February was set apart for eulogies on the life and public service of Rock wood Hoar, late member for the Third Massachusetts District.

The Senate occupied itself Tuesday in discussing to a more limited extent the Unusual Brownsville affray. Senator Daniel of Virginia made a speech in support of the President’s action. Senator Foraker said that other speeches were to be made and indicated that he would defer closing the argument he began until a later date. Senator Overman of North Carolina spoke in opposition to the proposed federal child labor laws, his opposition being based on the broad ground of State rights. The bill limiting the hours of service of railway employes, which is the “unfinished business," was discussed for nn-hpnrr—Tbe-Hciu-sfr began consideration of the military appropriation bill. Chairman Hull began general debate'by a comprehensive statement of the contents of the army budget, which carries $2,500,000 more than last year. Other speeches were by Mr. Slay den of Texas on his bill to discontinue the enlistment of negroes in the army; by Mr. Zenor of Indiana, against the ship subsidy bill, and by Mr. Gaines of Tennessee,. Jwho spoke in commemoration of the ninetysecond anniversary of the battle of New Orleans.

In the Senate Wednesday much time was devoted to the bill limiting the hours of railway employes. The Brownsville matter was postponed at the suggestion of Senator Forakcr, who gave as the" reason that Senator Tillman, who is indisposed, desired to make an address on the subject. The House began the consideration of the army appropriation bill by sections under the five-minute rule. A point of order was made against the paragraph abolishing the grade of lieutenant genera], with the retirement of the present lieutenant general. Arthur McArthur, which point was sustained. By a vote of 27 to 50, the committee of the whole refused to strike out the appropriation of $1,000,000 to defray the expenses of national guard organizations attending encampments in conjunction with regular troops, although the maneuvers were severely criticised by Representatives Grosvenor of OhKf,. Hepburn of lowa and Hay cf Ly ai of lowa reported the fortification's appropriation bill.

After five hours’ debate on the subject of limiting the hours of service of railway employes, the Senate on Thursday passed a substitute for the pending bill of Senator La Follette, limiting the -time of train employes to sixteen consecutive hours of service, to be followed by ten hours of rest. Senator Tillman gave notice he would address the Senate Saturday on the Brownsville affray, and Senator Foraker‘announced he would endeavor to get a vote on the investigation resolution on that day. The House was the center of a threatened personal encounter between Representative Gaines of Tennessee and Representative Mahon of Pennsylvania, growing out of Mr. Gaines’ bill to “dock” members for chronic absence. The army appropriation bill was passed and consideration of the fortifications bill begun.

• The Senate Friday passed a general service pension bill which will give survivors of the Civil and Mexican wars sl2 per month at the age of 62, sls at 70 and S2O at $75. Senator Hopkins of Illinois defended Reed Smoot, arguing against the right of the Senate to pass "bn the private acts of its members. The legislative appropriation bill was taken 41 j) and read, after which the Senate adjourned - The TToT^e"*!l IV-w - record ,by passing 628 private pension bills in an , hour and thirty-five minutes. A bill was .passed, making the limit of cost of five lighthouse tenders $200,000 instead of $135,000, and at 1:45 p. m., in the absence of a quorum, the House adjourned* until Monday. The time of the Senate Saturday was devoted mainly to the discussion of the race question, in which Senator Tillman attacked the President’s action in the Brownsville affair and Senator Patterson defended the executive. Senator Foraker gave notice that on Monday he would endeavor to secure action on tbe resolution for an investigation es the matter. The Senate adjourned until Monday. Th# IJouse was not in session.

National'Capital Notea.

Nelld, Miser.

John Camden Neild, whose magnificent bequest to Queen Victoria supplied the funds out of which the prince consort built the present Balmoral castle, deserves a place among the great misers and was as remarkable a man *as anv of them. He was at Eton and Trinity college, Cambridge, and was a barrister at Linooln’s inn. At the age of thirty-four his father’s death placed him iu possession of a fortune of 250,000 pounds and from that moment he became a confirmed miser. Neild lived at 5 Cheyne walk, Chelsea. His big house was so meanly furnished that it did not even boast of a bed. Two old women, who did his stoves, and a black cat were his sole companions. When he visited his large estates in the Midlands, which he did frequently, he generally walked, unless he could get a lift for nothing. Sometimes he was compelled by the weather to take a seat on the stage coach. And there he would sit on the outside, shivering and dripping—for he never wore a greatcoat—an object of commiseration to his fellow passengers.

A Bluster of Languages.

Fifty-eight languages at the end of one’s tongue! Yet this was the number of tongues of which the Cardinal Mezzofanti was master, and the most wonderful thing about it was that nearly all of these different languages had several separate dialects. Mezzofanti was probably the greatest linguist the world has ever known. To hear a language was with him to speak it. He was a man with three sepj-g words for every* 1 Tiled! and he laid bis great attainments to his excellent memory and to the fact that once hearing a word he never forgot it. Jeremiah Curtin, the translator of i‘Quo Vadis,” was credited with speaking sixty languages and dialects. There are few men nowadays who pass the mark of speaking knowledge of ten languages. Six or eight seem to be the limit, even with men of great learning. Mithridates, Pico and Sir William Jones were said to he masters of over twenty tongues, and Sir John Bowring, Muller, and Fresnel are said to have spoken in twenty.

COSTLY PRESSURE.

Heart and Nerve* Fall on Coffee. A resident of a great western State puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: “I am 56 yeara old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike —a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous Interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other ■timnlants and began the nse of Postum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumntism that I used to suffer from has left me, I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I testimony also to the food value of Postum —something that is lacking In coffee.” Name given by Postum -Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.

Will Open Up Immense Aren of Fro* Homestead Lands. , The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to the uttermost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaßoard. The large influx of settlers aud the hdd|tional area put under crop have added largely to the grain product,- and notwithstanding .the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public,i the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested iu Western Canada to know’ that an authoritative statement has been givqp. out by Mr. C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that tliat railway will do Its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tidewater, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settler during ren cent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trjp from Portage la Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered 4a eighteen day’s, is enthusiastic about the ; This will be gratifying to settlers in The Canadian West, even if Mr. Hays declines to be, bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be la a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will he... satisfactory. ,to,..the. settlers im that country when the harvest la garnered.

The wheat crop of 1906 In Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels and wiill tlie increased acreage which is confidently expected to be. put under crop next year it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 .bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, and the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring encouragement to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian government, whose address appears elsewhere.
