Tiikiik may be fun in tlie Philip

be critical.
REPORTS of great damage to the
peach crop have started somewhat
earlier thun usual this year.
There is a corner itiet;i;sin Pitts

at sixty cents a dozen. "Kggs Is

AOVIKALOO Is said to be a great

however, at an American quickstep.
Thk President's addresses at Bos

as a stutestuan and as a public
speaker.
Sintk July 1 the national expendi

Gov. Wolcott, of Massachusetts,

day with skates on, butthpy were not
the kind usually associated with high
life In a great city. .
Thk Senatorial deadlock still con
tinues at Harrisburg, and no result is
looked for by the leaders short of
two weeks, probably not until Quay's
trial is disposed of.
Thk friends of Gov. Roosevelt have
entered him in the race for the Presi

Thk generals and admirals who

Gnu at Britain and the United

And our Uncle William must grin and

It is said Thomas B. Wanamaker,
son of Hon. John Wanamaker, is the
real purchaser of the Philadelphia
North American. Heretofore the
paper has been a strong Quay sup
porter, but since the change in pro
prietorship there is also noticeable a
change in policy. The Inquirer is
the only Philadelphia paper friendly
to the junior Senator.
THAT is a striking sentence in one
of the President's speeches at Boston
in which he says, referring more par
ticularly to the Philippines : "We
may regard the situation before us as
a burden or an opportunity, but
whether the one or the other, it is
here, and conscience and civilization
renuire us to meet it bravely." The
words cover the vital bearing and tie
mauds of the question.
Thk "American Investor" has com

shows that the aggregate capital of
various industrials or "trust"
launched since January 1, 1808, has
been $1,800,000,000. The men who
have sold worn-out, antiquated or un

their demand has absorbed even

The KirJney Complexion.
The pale, s.tllow, sunken-checked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet are
nfllictod with "Kidney Complexion."
Their kidnoys aro turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also b.tvo indigestion, or sutler
from sleeple-suess, rheumatism, ucuralgis,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The caubo is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually tho sufferer from kidney dbeaso
does not find out what tho trouble is until it
is almost too late, because tho first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do not
think they need a medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
aud strengthen their weak aud diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion and
soou thoy will enjoy better health.

The Egyptian of today may easily ba

politeness ho stands pre-omlnent. tQ
Egyptian -elts down to a meal without
asking all passersby to pnrtako of it; dur

husbaud and father and fond of and kind

To show the direction in whloh tho
Jdcns of marrkigo are setting, we may say

tho interpretation of tho prophet's words.
Indeed the relatives ot tho wife so resent
a liiau's marrying agahi that it Is hardly
