Chamberlain is likely to deal a death blow to Free Trade in Eng land. Tom Johnson can now meditate on the folly of counting votes by the number who come to the free circus. With the aid of Tammany and race prejudice the democrats suc ceeded in carrying New York City and Maryland. No doubt Johnson is very grate ful for Bryan's moral support in Ohio. And so ought to be Sena tor Ilanna. In the last election, the Socialist vote in Massachusetts, their "banner state", fell from 32,629 last year to about 25,000. Gorman is after the democratic nomination next year, but if he gets it, he will be wise enough not to resign his seat in the senate un til he knows the result of the elec tion. There is much talk of General Nelson A. Miles, as McCellan's choice for head of the New York Police. Would the General con. sent to taking a position similar to that formerly held by Devery? 111 the National Repre sentatives there are 236 lawyers, 63 business men and 17 farmers, in the Senate there ars 61 lawyers, 19 business men and 3 farmers. There are only 21 foreign born leg islators in both houses. Two hundred sailors from the Navy were recently served refresh ments in the State dining room at the White House. There were live negroes among them. Had Gor man been President, he would have requested these negro seamen to eab in the kitchen. The democratic attitude on the negro question is, first, the negro is so inferior to the white man that he should not have the right to vote; and second, the negro is making "lcii progress that the whites are threatened with negro domination. In this connection it is interesting to know that while forty years ago, no negro in the South owned a foot of ground, there are now 130,000 farms valued at $350,000,000 and owned by negroes; besidee this, 150,000 homes, valued at 8265,000,000 and personal property worth about 8165,000,000. After the War not one per cent of the adult negroes could read or write, to-day forty per cent can do so. Fifty per cent of the children areattending school and more could do so, if there were facilities. There are 800 colored physicians, 300 lawyers and 30,000 school teachers. The colored peo ple own and publish 450 news papers and magazines. In view of the handicap under which they started and the limited opportuni ties they have had, it seems that their progress has been quite in keeping with that of the great Nation to which they belong. Those who are not jealous of their prosperity and do not fear their competition, congratulate them on what they have accomplished. What airant folly to spend millions in missionary work upon the negroes of Africa and yet try to repress their progress and prosper ity at home. A Thank^sginJing Sleigh Hide HfQF' ~ * * (Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Etharlngton] •• OMR to us at Thanksgiving-' |B wrote my mother. "We're polng to have with us a love ly girl, who will take the woman hating out of you. Now, don't fail us." There was a very good reason for my woman hating, a reason of flesh and blood. Anita had listened to my soft words till I made them a formal dec laration, then, with one of those sud den feminine revulsions, cast me off. Had a man treated me so shabbily I should have looked upon him forevex afterward with sovereign contempt. As for Anita, I simply said, "What can be expected from one of hor sex?" However, there was one woman ot whom I made an exception—my moth er. I wrote her that I would certainly be at home for Thanksgiving, but I preferred that the "lovely girl" be dis pensed with. That year the cold came on early. At any rate, during the week preceding Thanksgiving we had a snowstorm, ' "v \ N -, . , "IT WILL EE PNEUMONIA." followed by cold worthy of midwinter. I had concluded to take my horse and cutter home for sleighing and to drive there myself. When I started the weather was quite mild, and I feared for the melting of the snow. But sud denly the wind veered into the north, and the mercury fell to a point consid erably below zero. I passed through a small village, and my mother had writ ten me to be sure to stop there and see my aunt. I was very glad to do so. as it gave uie a chance to warm up. "John," said my aunt, "there is a la dy waiting for a conveyance to town. Could you take her in your cutter?" I protested that any woman would freeze to death in such exposure, in deed invented every excuse for refus ing, but my aunt told me that the lady hated men as badly as X hated women and would not on any account talk with me on the way, not even about the weather. I reluctantly consented and went out to arrange the robes. In a few minutes my aunt brought out the lady, whom she introduced to me as Mrs. Budloug. She was so well pro tected against the cold that I could neither see her llgure nor her face. I made one or two remarks, to which she gave monosyllabic replies, excus ing herself from talking on account of a cold and a husky voice. The truth Is I had a terrible cold myself and should have been by a warm Are instead of facing a blast which had in it the frost of the pole. We soon struck a drift so deep that I was obliged to get out and lead the horse over It. We came to several of these drifts, and so great was my exer tion that after passing each of thein I was in a profuse perspiration. Then I would get back into the sleigh and sit with the cold wind driving right through me. Finally there swept over me from head to foot a sudden, terrible, wrench ing chill. "What Is it?" asked Mrs. LSudlong anxiously. "It will be pneumonia." Without a word she thrust me down into the bottom of the sleigh and bur led me under the robes. I was too ill to protest, though I realized that the wo man was left to the mercy of the wind. With her feet on my prostrate body she drove on, now and again leaving the sleigh to lead the horse over drifts, enduring the successive changes that I had endured, yet without the protec tion I had had. But at this part of the road there were no houses, and she was obliged to press on. From a pass ing wagon Mrs. Budlong obtained n bottle of whisky, which at intervals she poured down my thront. I soon drank enough to make a rum cask reel, but the stuff had 110 other effect on me than to lessen the frequency and the violence of the chills. After awhile, whether from illness, cold, exhaustion or the effect of the whisky, 1 fell Into what was either coma or sleep. I don't to this day know which. I had occa sional realization of bumps, but was not conscious of anything else. Final ly 1 was oblivious to everything. OCAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1903. The next thing I knew I was In bed at home, and my mother was looking at tne anxiously, though the moment I opened my eyes an expression of re lief came to her. My tirst thought was for the woman who when I was last conscious had been driving me. "Mrs. Budlong?" I asked. "What has become of her?" "She's In bed in another room re covering from the cold and exhaus tion. She will come out all right." "Did she get me all the way home herself?" "Every bit of It." "She's a trump. How fortunate that you wrote to me to stop at Aunt Em's! How would I ever have got on without Mrs. Budlong? I should have per ished." "It was fortunate, my son, and now I'm going to make a confession that I didn't luteud to make till we were all nt the table for our Thanksgiving din ner. Mrs. Budlong is not Mrs. Budlong, but the 'lovely girl' I wrote you about. She made your aunt a visit, and I thought it would be nice for you to drive her over and get acquainted be fore meeting her here." "Mother," I said after some thought, "since the 'lovely girl' has saved my life I forgive you. However, I may as well confess to you now that I have had an affair of the heart which 1 have never confided to you in which I was treated abominably, and I don't want any more of them. I dare say this—Mrs. Budlong has drawn you Into deception, for it is not like you at all." Mother turned away and gave me a spoonful of something from a glass; then, telling me to keep quiet that I might be ready for the dinner of to morrow, she left me. The doctor called soon after and pronounced me quite re covered. By good fortune I had been saved from pneumonia. The next morning I spent in the li brary before a cheerful blaze. I asked mother to send in her "lovely girl," that I might ask her some questions about that terrible drive. But mother said she had gone out and I must "pos sess my soul in patience" till I should see her at dinner. I gave a grunt of dissatisfaction that any patience was required and, looking up, saw mother smiling at me as she went out of the room. Well, indue time dinner was an nounced. I entered from the library. I was surprised to see no one in the room. Presently the door from the hall opened, and in stepped a girl. Groat heavens! Who should she be but— "Anita!" "No. Mrs. Budlong." "What does this mean?" "It means, John, that when you ask ed me to lie your wife it suddenly oc curred to me that I had been encourag ing you, not knowing anything of your family, and was about to take a step that I might be sorry for. This, I confess, demoralized me. Later I came "WOMAN HATER!" SITE EXCLAIMED. here, made your mother's acquaintance, fell in love with her uud confessed all. You know the rest." In another moment we were surpris ed by my mother in each other's arms. * "Woman hater!" she exclaimed. "Mother," I said, "I despise all wo men except you." "And Anita," she added. "No. Mrs. Budlong." Hlntn to the Carver. It is not wise to ask your guests what portion fV the bird they prefer. Six or eight might choose a leg, and thus you have made some bitter en emies for life. Many people make the mistake of carving the breast of the turkey first. Always leave this until the last and tiius g<et a good portion of it for your self. Do not fall to send the cook the choicest portions of the bird at the earliest possible moment. Some cooks do not mind waiting five or ten min utes for their Thanksgiving dinner, but It is well to take no chances. THE MI-O-NA TREATMENT. { riesh-i ; ormln|[ Pood In Tablet Form That In creases l : le»h-Guaranteed by L. Taggart. The discovery of Mi-o-na, the remark able flesh-forming foods that builds up good, healthy, solid flesh and makes thin nese and scraweiness a thing of the past, has revolutionized medical practice in certain lines. Its power to do all that is claimed for it was so clearly proven to L. Taggart that he has sold Mi-o-na with the under standing that if it fails the purchase price was to be refunded. L. Taggart certainly exhibited courage in taking up this method of selling Mi o-na, but the results have fully proven his judgment that the Mi-o-na treatment for stomach troubles, emaciation, general weakness and run down condjjion is the only efficacious and reliable cure. Mi-o-na possesses healing and soothing qualties that make it especially valuable in cases of chrtmic indigestion and dys pepsia. Two or three tablets taken each day in connection with the regular food prove it a true flesh former. All that many a woman lacks to be positively pretty is a little more flesh on her face. To look haggard or not fat is never becoming. The use of Mi-o-na will cure this defect. With every 50c box of Mi-o-na that L. Taggart sells, he will give a written promise to refund the money if it does not give an increase in flesh and resto e strength. What a trifling cost this isrif it makes you well; if it fails, the expense is absolutely nothing. A Scientific Discovery. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly dis ordered or over-loaded. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure supplies the natural juices of digestion and does the work ol the stom ach, relaxing the nervous tension, while the inflamed muscles of that organ are al lowed to rest and heal. Kodol Dyspep sia Cures.digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organsjto trans form all food into rich, red blood. Sold by It. C. Dodson. Climate Cures. The influence of climate conditions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, ean do much better at home by proper attention to food diges tion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rest and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless nights ami the exhaus tion due to coughing, the greatest dan ger and dread of the consumptive, can be prevented of stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able togo to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousahds of con sumptives there, the few who are bene fited and regain strength arc those who use German Syrup.
