District Attorney J. P. Clarke of
New York was talking about the re-
cent kidnaping cases.
"Kidnapers," he said, "are apt to
disappear now. They have become
too unpopular. Why, a kidnaper is as
unpopular as a widower.
"Widows, now, are very attractive,
but about a widower there is always
something uncanny, something almost
clammy—I mean, of course, from the
matrimonial point of view.
"I know a widower who is thinking
of marrytng again. He thought he'd
broach the matter delicately the other
morning to his little daughter, so he
said:
" 'Ah, my dear, how I did love your
mother!'
"But the little girl gave him a sur
picious look and snapped:
" 'Say "do," not "did," papa.' "
An Ambassador's Nose.

looked on with suspicion had it been
6uspected that he could learn any-
thing of these, methods. But during
his sojourn he got near enough to cer-

sense of smell, some impressions with
which he was able to work out the
formulas when he returned home.—

HIS DEFEAT WEIGHED HEAVILY
Crushed His Health and Spirit—Suc-
cess Came After Long Fight In
Cleveland Only After He
Had Been Repudiated
at the Polls.
Cleveland, O.—Tom L. Johnson,
twice congressman from the Twenty-
first Ohio district, four times mayor
of Cleveland, champion of the three
cent street trallway fare and leading
advocate of the single tax theory of
the late Henry George, died here at
8:45 o'clock tonight after a long ill-
ness. He was 57 years old.
Tom L.. Johnson once referred to
himself in a political address as "a
stormy petrel," and this metaphor
aptly described him and indicated the
course of his career. From the time
he entered the offices ol' a Lousville
street railway company as a boy of
15, until his defeat for a fifth term as
mayor of Cleveland on .November 2,
1909, he was ever in the center of
some storm, political or financial.
He often said that it was thus that he
enjoyed himself best.
Johnson was born in Georgetown,
Ky., July 18, 1854. He was christened
Thomas Loftin, but he always pre-
ferred to call himself Tom L., and so
he was known from boyhood- He
started work in a Louisville traction
office and when still a youth secured
sufficient backing and bought a con-
trolling interest in the Indianapolis
street railways. In the '80s with his
brother Albert he came to Cleveland
and became interested in the street
car systems here and assisted in a
partial consolidation of them.
He became director ia the Cleve-
land Electric Railway company and in
1891 was elected a member of con-
gress from the Twenty-first Ohio dis-
trict, serving two terms as a "single
taxer." When he was defeated as a
candidate for a third term he went to
New York, disposing of the Nassau
street railway line in Brooklyn.
While negaged in business in Clove-
land he sold his Indianapolis traction
holdings and acquird control of the
Detroit car lines, and it was then he
| first proposed the three cent fares.
The citizens of Detroit, however, re-
j jected his proposition that they buy
! his road and establish that rate of
fare, and he retired from Detroit.
I He also entered into the steel man-
! tifacturing business at Johnstown, Pa..
[ Moxham, Pa., and Lorain, O. These
interests he successfully disposed of
] and when in 190(1 he sold his Brooklyn
j traction line he was left free of busi*
| ness cares. He returned to Cleveland,
| and in April, 1901, was elected mayor;
i on a platform which promised univer-
j sal three cent, fares.
| After a fight with the street car
I company, which lasted until 1908, and
through four years, in which he was
j triumphant, the Cleveland traction
lines passed into the hands of the
Municipal Traction company. Aftei
six months' trial of operation at three
cents the people at a referendum elec-
tion voted out the franchise and the
municipal company passed into the
hands of a receiver, where i^ remain-
ed until February, 1910.
20 Dtown When Ship Capsizes.
Victoria, B. C.—It is believed 20
live swere lost when the little wooden
steamer Iroquois, plying between Syd-
ney, Van Couver Island and the Is-
lands of the Gulf of Georgia, was cap-
sized soon after leaving Sydney today.
The purser, who had a record of
fares collected, is among the dead and
it is not likely that the exact number
that perished will ever be known.
Four passengers and seven members
of the crew were saved and four mem-
bers of the crew and probably sixteen
passengers were drowned.
PHYSICAL WRECK RESTORED TO
HEALTH BY GREAT KID-
NEY REMEDY
I feel It my duty to furnish you with
my testimonial us to what your remedy,
Kwamp-Rocit, did for me when 1 was a
physical wreck from kidney and bladder
trouble.
Some years ago I was not abla to do any
Work and could only just creep around
and am satisfied that had it not been for
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root I would not
have lived. After using the preparation
for one month I was able to work some
and when I had used $3.00 worth of
Swamp-Root I could do a good day's work.
1 used about $10.00 worth altogether and
would not take $10,000 for the good that it
did me. I consider it a God-send to suffer-
ing humanity for the disease for which you
recommend it, and have recommended it
to many sufferers.

1,576,064 Acres Withdrawn.
Washington, D. C.—New Mexico
lands aggregating 1.576,0G4 acr< o
were withdrawn today from all form^
of disposition by President Taft on the
recommendation of Secretary of the
Interior Fisher, pending a field exam-
ination and classification as to their
value. Facts already gahered by the
geological survey indicates that these
lands contain valuable mineral de-
posits. They are in northwest New
Mexico just south of the Colorado
line, and in close proximity to the

ITCHED SO COULD NOT SLEEP
"I suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first I
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used castile soap, medi-
cated washrags, cold cream, vanish-
ing cream, etc., I found no relief what-
ever. After that I diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became bo intense that i
thought I should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, I decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
b few days I recognized a marked
•Change in my condition. I bought
.about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
and after a few days I was entirely
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. I highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf-
fering from similar skin eruptions and
hope you will publish my letter so
that others may learn of Cuticura
Remedies and be cured." (Signed)

Grouch Still With Him.
When Brown died he left an old
friend living, by the name of Jones,
who always had a grouch. After
Brown had been in heaven some time,
he met Jones just coming through the
gate, and as the newcomer did not
look as happy and contented as he
ehould, Brown asked him what was
the matter. "Well," Jones said. "I
got my feet wet coming across t.he
river Styx and caught a nasty cold,
broke my left wing and have to carry
it in a sling, and my halo don't fit
worth a darn."
Vagaries of Finance.
"I understand yon have paid the

"Yep." replied Farmer Corntossel.
"Then why do you complain of hard

"All the neighbors have done the

money on my hands that nobody
wants to borrow."

TRAIN LOAD AFTER
TRAIN LOAD OF
SETTLERS
ARE GOING TO CENTRAL CANADA.
The question of reciprocal trade re-
lations between the United States and
Canada has provoked considerable
discussion and Interest. Whatever
else the discussion may have done, It
has brought out the fact that on the
Canadian side of the line the agri-
cultural situation Is one that forces
attention, and it has also brought forth
the fact whicji It Is well to face, that
on the American side of the border,
there is a vastly increasing popula-
tion to be fed with a somewhat de-
creasing proportion of food products.
This article Is Intended to point out
to those who may wish to become of
those who can raise wheat, oats, bar-
ley, flax, cattle and hogs at the least
cost that the opportunities In Central
Canada are what they are seeking.
During the past year the official fig-
ures show that upwards of 130,000
Americans located In Canada, and the
greatest majority of these have settled
on farms, and when the lime comes,
which it will within a few years, they
will be ready to help serve their par-
ent country with the food Btuffs that
its increasing population will require.
The immigration for the spring has
now set in in great earnest, and train
load after train load of a splendid
class of settlers leave weekly from
Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, De-
troit., St. Paul and other points. Most
of these are destined through to points
In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al-
berta. The reports that come from
the different farming districts there
are that the spring Is opening up well,
and the prospects for a splendid crop
this year are very good. In some dis-
tricts good homesteads are yet avail-
able. The price of all farm lands has
naturally had an Increase, but It Is
still away below Its earning capacity.
The immigration branch of the Domin-
ion Government has just published its
1911 illustrated pamphlet, which may
be secured on application to the De-
partment of the Interior, Ottawa,
Canada, or any of the agents of tho
Dominion Government, whose adver-
tisement may appear elsewhere in this
paper.
Preventing a Disturbance.
Colonel Scotchem was weary. He
had had a very arduous day retreating
from the enemy, and he wished to re-
coup his strength in order that he
might retreat still further on the mor-
row.
"MacPherson," he said to his new
servant, "I'm going to snatch forty
winks' sleep. Stay in my tent and
see that I'm not disturbed."
Mac saluted. Five minutes later the
snores of Colonel Scotchem were cut
short by the loud report of a gun.
"Great Scott!" cried the colonel.
"Are the enemy upon us?"
"Na, dinna fret." replied Mac, in-
serting his head reassuringly through
the tent flap, "It was only a wee
mousie. But as I thought he might
wake you up I shot him."—Answers.

How Sea Birds Drink.
Under the headline, Where Do They
Get. Water? a writer in the Young
Folks' Catholic Weekly says: "When
I was a cabin boy I often used to
wonder, seeing birds thousands of
miles out to sea, what they did for
fresh water when they were thirsty.
One day a squall answered that ques-
tion for me. It was a hot and glitter-
ing day in the tropics, and in the clear
sky overhead a black rain cloud ap-
peared all of a sudden. Then out of
empty space over a hundred sea birds
came darting from every direction.
They got under the rain cloud, and
waited there for about ten minutes,
circling round and round, and when
the rnin began to fall they drank their
fill. In the tropics, where the great
sea birds sail thousands of miles away
from shore, they get their drinking
water in that way. They smell out a
storm a long way off; they travel a
hundred miles maybe to get under it,
and they swallow enough raindrops to
keep them going."—New York Trib-
une.
