We have quite a list of patrons
who come day after day ana drink
the same thinf.
We take this ts a great com-
pliment to oar soda.
If the Wild Cherry, or Orange
Phosphate, or Chocolate Cream, or
whatever it may be, were not right
they would get tired of it and go to
some other fountain.
But they do not.
We invite you to come here and
tell us how you like your favorite
soda drink.
(the worst of the whole time) I would
■ike seventy to seventy-two miles;
but the third day I would do better,
probably seventy-five or eighty; at
all events I should not have more
than sixty-six Biles left to do m the

New York, June •.—When Edward
Payson Weston was 25 years old be
waa a champion walker; but he broke
bis own record a few daya ago, de-
spite the fact that he la W now. Be

Post now he waa able to do It. He

The ability of a person to perf orm
unuioal feata of endurance depends,
In the first Instance, upon bis posses-
sion of a proper physical constitution;
In the second place ou bis having a
certain amount of pride and princi-
ple, and finally upon keeping these
physical and mental qualities In work-
in? condition by avoiding tbe abuses
ot self-indulgence and crookedness.
"if a man Is to be a young old man,
fo as to fit bitn ai for wbat he could
not do at 25. be should not only retain
bis physical condition by a simple
life, moderation and constant exer-
else, but must also retain so far aa
humanity will permit, a clear con-
science- Nothing la more neceaaary
on a loot walk than spirit, and who
can have tbe right spirit with con-
aciousnesa that be bad done a dirty

agriculture, who was appointed Unit*

succeed Joseph R. Burton, is as yet
undecided whether or not to accept

Washington, June 5.—By ctover
tactics Mr. Bonynge of Colorado, in
charge of the naturalisation bill, and
with the assistance ot a friendly
apeaker, bad tbe measure establish-
ing a bureau of immigration and nat-
uralization of allena throughout the
United Statea read in time set apart
for tbe passage of bills under su«pen-
alon of' the rules in the house today.
The move surprised Mr. Cochran of
5ew York who begat to fiiltastcr
againat Its consideration. He made
a point of order against tbe bill on
the ground that It could not be con-
sidered under suspension of tbe rules.
Tbe speaker overruled the point, and
oh an appeal was sustained, 165 to 31.
The bill was debated for forty min-
utes and, after two amendments bad
been agreed to unanimously, It was
passed.
An amendment was adopted pror-
lag tbe requirements of Section 9 shall
that ia Coburn. I have to wrestle
with the problem alone. Wbea I
have reached a decialoa It may he
wrong, but there Is one thing certaia
and that Is, It will be my own de-
cision.
' I received my first indication of
what was coming about 10 o'clock
Monday morning. Governor Hoch
called upon me acd told me what was
on bis mind. Then 1 went out to Gov-
ernor Hocn's home in the afternoon
and talked with bim nearly all the
afternoon. I certainly appreciate
wbat people are saying about me but
I must take a little time to think
this over. I know that people are
naturally impatient for decision, and
bis mind at once and get on tbe first
train for Washington to be tbere in
time to vote on tbe important meas-
ures pending."

These Uriel extracts from tbe letters
of Elisabeth Montagu, tbe "<]Ueen of
the hluestocklnK*," throws a curious
light on eighteenth century life in Eng-
land. She was suffering from a swell-
ed lip. Promptly the great Dr. Mead
prescribed a blister to her back. She
writes: "I am better than I was; but,
my mouth not being yet perfectly re-
duced. 1 have got a fresh blister upon
my back. Well inay It bend with such
s weight of calamities. 1 have sent for
my bathing cloutbes and on Sunday
night shall take a souse. I think It a
pleasant remedy." Apparently In 1T41
s lady could not take a bath even on
Sunday nlgbt and In the privacy of
her chamber without her "bathing
cloatbee." Mrs. Montagu writes again:
"My lip la not entirely reduced, though
1 have been blistered twice, once blood-
ed, and have five times taken physic,
have lived upon chicken and white
meats and drank nothing but water.
I have suffered great disappointment
I boat the warm bath which I am ad-
vised to try, for the bathing tuba are
so out of order that we have not yet
been able to make them hold water."
