Saturday
The action of Franee In sending a
war vessel to Mexico Is a movement
that threatens to end the Monroe doc-
trine as an active force " This move-
ment is taken seriously by the war de-
partment as it presages the likelihood
of European powers taking independ-
ent action in Mexico the moment it
is demanded by the exigencies of the
situation Such a possibility has been
known to the war department for three
weeks '
Two weeks ago secret instructions
were sent to Brigadier-General Ram-
sey D Potts In command of the Cen-
tral division with headquarters at Chi-
cago to ascertain the present effective
strength of the militia throughout the
United States
After conferences with the authori-
ties of Illinois Indiana Ohio Ken-
tucky Michigan Tennessee Missis-
sippi Louisiana Iowa Oklahoma and
other states comprising the central
division General Potts went to Texas
where after a conference with Gov
ernor Colquitt he made his report to
General Wood
He ascertained that the militia rolls
of the United States contain the nameB
of 120000 thoroughly equipped troopB
of all arms He has reported that 60-
000 can be made ready to move within
three days
For the past ten days 40000 regu-
lars have been practically camping on
the arms at various posts throughout
the country This includes the Coast
Artillery men who are ready to movs
equipped as infantry
The seriousness of the situation was
emphasized by a conference between
the president and the Mexican am-
bassador Martinez Crespo at the
White House It Is the invariable rule
that except In crises of great magni-
tude all communications between for-
eign countries and the president shall
take place through the department of
state

HARD QUESTION FOR MOTHER
Inquisitive Little One Bought Inf or
(nation -That Has Puulsd ths
Wisest of Men
Wur-year-o!d Dorothy being In a
thoughtful mood wished to know
what she would be when she grew up
Her mother told her she would be
first a young woman then perhaps a
married woman an old woman a
grandmother and a great grandmoth-
er "And after great-grandmother
what?” Dorothy Inquired
"Then you will die Your soul will
go to heaven to live forever and the
rest of you will be put under the soft
grass and flowers"
“Oh I" said Dorothy and asked no
more questions at ths time When
her mother was undressing her for
bed that night and the rosy little
figure stood uncovered Dorothy said
eagerly:
“Mother will you show me just
what part of me will go to heaven to
live forever and what goeB under the
flowers?”— Upplncott’s Magazine
“WHY SHOULD I USE
CUTICURA SOAP?”
"There Is nothing the matter with
my skin and I thought Cutlcura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True It
Is for skin troubles but Its great mis-
sion Is to prevent skin troubles For
more than a generation Its delicate
emollient and prophylactio properties
have rendered It the standard for this
purpose while Its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to It all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps
It is also Invaluable In keeping the
hands soft and white the hair live
and glossy and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation
While Its first cost la a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps It Is prepared with such care
and of such materials that it wears
to a water often outlasting several
cakes of other soap and making Its
use In practice most economlcaL
Cutlcura Soap Is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cutlcura"
Dept L Boston for a liberal sam-
ple cake together with a thirty-two
page book on the skin and hair
Father Now In Second Place
She was a prim miss of thirteen
who stood before the rector of a well
known New York Episcopal church
and looked him squarely in the eye
“Please repeat the fifth command-
ment again” he said for he was cate-
chising her with regard to her knowl-
edge of the Scriptures apropos of the
coming confirmations “Honor thy
mother and thy father that thy days
may be long In the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee” was the
sponge “Honor thy mother and
thy father" mused the rector “Who
taught you that?” “Mother” was the
response “These are certainly suf-
fragist days upon which we have fall-
en” remarked the minister “Father
used to come first”
Shot With a Knife
Years ago in a stock performance of
a famous old melodrama the villain
Charles Wolcott suddenly discovered
that he had left bis revolver In the
dressing room In much confuslonihe
fumbled In bis pocked and found a
penknife which be figured would do
just as well for the bloody deed Imag-
ine his consternation when after
plunging the blade Into the hero's
breast that player failed to change
his lines and screamed at the top of
his voice: “Heaven forgive you! I'm
shot"

mal healthy regular bowel action

Pepsin at bed-tlma and repeat the
dose the following night If necessary
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover Its accustomed good spirits and

Dr Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh In
their action Syrup PepBln acts on
the bowels easily and naturally yet
positively and causes no griping or
discomfort Its tonlo properties build
up the stomach liver and bowels re-
storing their normal condition

HIS MODESTY OF HIGH ORDER
Tinker of Course Loved His Neighbor
as Himself but That Wasn’t
Too Much
Lord Tankenrlllo who Is sending
his son to an American school said
the other day in New York:
' "There are too many Englishmen—
and English boys as well— who de-
velop la tbe presence of a lord a
painful and unnatural modesty Their
modesty reminds me of a village tin-
ker “This tinker' had a rather crusty
disposition and his pastor said to him
one day:
”’My man you should love your
neighbor as yourself
" ’Yes sir said the tinker
“But the pastor bad in mind a nasty
black eye that the tinker had given
the bricklayer next door and so be
went on:
“‘Do you though do you honestly
lova your neighbor as yourself?
“’Yes sir oh yes sir’ said the
tinker and be added ‘but I’m a mod-
est man ye see and to tell tbe truth
I ain’t a bit stuck on myself sir"’

as Carter's Little Liver Pills Is counter-
feited and put on the market He im-
posed the sentence not only as tha prop-
er punishment of Fink himself but In or
der to deter others from the commission
of like frauds in the future
