LONDON’S ROMAN WALL.
Petition of it is Now Being De-
stroyed by Builders.
A portion of the wall which was
btillt. around old London by the Ho-
mans is now being destroyed by build-
ers. The part which has been laid
bare is seven feet in height and has
a thickness of eight and a half ff,ct
and about fifty feet of its length has
been exposed. It is founded on gra\el
and at the bottom is a course of flints
and clay. Upon these are built up
two layers of stout burned tiles, of
the common Roman pattern, and then
comes rough-dressed masonry. I ho
tilts and the masonry alternate; in
the seven feet of the wall s height
there are three courses of each, held
together by cement, which is so firm
that it blunts the tools of the work-
men who are endeavoring to destroy
It. Throughout the neighborhood
this wall serves as, the foundation for
modern buildings. The offices ad-
joining the excavations now compli-
cated by the wall’s presence are in
part supported on it._
From pessimistic views you may not
amount to anything, but by detei mi-
nation and proper development this
Is only true from a selfish stand-
point. __
JUDGE PHILIPS’ BIG FISH.
Caught a 135-Pound Tarpon in the Gulf
of Mexico Recently.
“There is no fishing in the world
like the sport in the Gulf of Mexico,
where they catch tarpon,’’ said Judge
JohnF- Philips, recently in the Kansas
City Star. Judge Philips, looking
tanned and thoroughly rested, has just
returned from a fishing trip to the
coast of Texas. “I surprised the na-
tives by catching six of those big fel-
lows. The largest weighed 135 pounds
and measured 6 feet 10 inches^ in
length. It took me an hour to .and
him after I had made the strike.
Proved Beyond a Doubt.
Middlesex, N. Y., July 3. (Special)
•—That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintances
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd’s Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her
cure as follows;
“I was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year I could not do as much as a
baby could do, then I rallied a little
bit and then a relapse. Then a year
ago the gout setjn my hands and feet.
I suffered untoTd agony and in Au-
gust, 1903, when my husband died I
could not ride to the grave.
“I only took two boxes of Dodd’s
Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
I dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd s Kid
nely Pills cured me.”
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
In the blood. Dodd’s Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.
The things that do you good and
lift you up in moments of depres-
sion, come to you without money, and
you have contentment which takes
the place of selfishness.

To Explore Alaska.
Accompanied only by Indian guides
and interpreters, Dr.- George B. Gor-
don, curator of the section of Ameri-
can’ archaeology and general ethnol-
ogy of the Free Museum of Science
and Art of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, will spend the summer among
the wild tribes of unexplored Alaska.
Dt. Gordon, who is to travel more than
G,000 miles, is being sent out by the
department of archaeology to bring
back specimens for the museum.
Important to Mothers.

The tarpon is caught on a hea\>
line and a specially strong rod and
reel. I had just told my boatman that
I would go in for dinner and we had
just started to put back to the shore
from where we had been fishing, Per‘
haps a mile out to sea, when 1 hooked
the big fish. By playing with him,
I reeling him in and maneuvering hack
j and forth for an hour I finally pulled
him into shallow water. The boatmen
then leaped out in water up to his
waist and. striking the fish with a^gafT
hook, hauled him uu on the beach.
Judge Philips was a member of the
fishing party which accompanied S. W.
Moore, general counsel of the Kansas
City Southern railway, on a trip about
ten days ago. The party left the car
at Rockport on the coast of Texas and
went by boat to Tarpon island, which
is near the fishing grounds. “Catching
tarpon is strenuous exercise,” added
Judge Philips, “but as a sport it is
aot equaled.”
Experiments in Vaccination.
Experiments recently made on sev-
eral Paris hospitals have positively
1 demonstrated that vaccination per-
I formed under a red light leaves no
scar and causes little pain. 1 he pa-
tient is vaccinated in a room where
the only, light is an incandescent
lamp with a red globe.

The Wealthy Pauper.
Upon an office stool he sat,
And figured with his pen—
His pen was new. his years were few,
His weekly wage was $10.
But still he scribbled away patiently,
And never said a word;
And the clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
His raise came—and another
But still he scratched away;
When he had made his pile, he said,
He'd take a holiday.
Yet. while the songs of springtime
The souls of lovers stirred.
The clinking of the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
And summers fled, and winters,
And love came straying os’,
He closed his ears, as one who hears
A Siren’s melody;
And out among the meadows
There caroled many a bird
But the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.
Age crept up In the nighttime,
And bowed his busy head; .
His eyes grew dim, each stiffening limb
Was weighted as with lead.
“Was that death’s echoing footstep.
yav—’tis a thought absurd!
(For the clinking of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.)
Sad voices chant a requiem,
And still he does not hear;
Great earth-clods fall upon his pall,
But trouble not his ear;
And even the Choir celestial
Wron’t wake the senses, blurred
Bv the clinking of the dollars—
The only sound he heard.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Could Not Bear the Humiliation and
Torture Thrust Upon Him.
The most startling of all Constant’s
revelations is that describing Na-
poleon’s attempt at suicide when
Mormout, Berthier and the rest left
him naked to his enemies. Constant,
in one of his earlier volumes, describ-
ed a tailsman wrapped in silk and
leather which, ever since the Egypt
ian campaign Napoleon wore round
his neck. It contained, according to
Constant, the poison which the em-
peror took immediately after his sig-
nature of the deed of abdication. He
then sent for Constant, and thus ad-
dressed him; “Constant, I am dying!
I could not bear the torture any more,
and the humiliation of seeing myself
surrounded by foreign agents. They
have trailed my eagles through the
mire. Marmont has given me my
final blow. That Berthier should
have forsaken me cuts me to the core!
My old friends! * My old comrades in
arms!” However, either the weak-
ness of the poison or the skill of
Yvan, the doctor, saved his lifa.—

IN COLONEL’S TOWN
THE MONTHLY TRIAL
headache, dizziness, bearing*
down pains.
a Woman Tell* How She Jin* Be com. Well
nml Strong after Year, of MUcrjr
Due to Irregular Function*.
The fact that one woman is bright-
eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheer u ,
while another is pule, weak ant de-
pressed, is duo move often than other-
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that arc peculiar to the sex.
When those are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations aie
often terrifying. .
“ For four yours.” said Mrs. Davis re-
cently, “I suffered indescribable misery
from sick headache every month, ac-
corapanied by fainting spells,
of breath and severe pain in m.v lett side.
There were also bearing-down pains, al
times so acute that I could not stand up,
and mv head was full of ringing sounds.
It seemed as if everything was going to
hit me in the eyes. I was compelled tc
lie down with closed eyes for hours to
get a little relief. When I attempted to
arise everything would whirl around and
it would grow so dark that I could
scarcely see any object.
“ Couldn’t your doctor help you .
“ Five doctors in all treated me, but 1
got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a
lot of advertised remedies. The only
medicine, however that ^ad the de-
sired effect was Dr. Williams Pink Pilli
and they are truly a godsend to women.
I did not have much faith in them when
I began to take them. I found myself,
however, so much better after using two
boxes that I began to believe in them.
They checked right away the decline
into which I was going. My troubles
kept lessening and finally disappeared
altogether.”
“ How long did it take for a cure ?
“After I had used several boxes my
health was all right. I had taken on
flesh and was strong and hearty. 1 feel
today in spirits more like a girl of six-
teen than a woman of my years.
Mrs C H. Davis’ address is Carmel,
Maine, ft. P. D.. No. 2. Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills are confidently offered to
women for the cure of anaemia, chloro-
sis, painful and irregular periods, and
all forms of weakness. They are sold

Making It Easy for Him.
“The most difficult part of a pas-
tor’s duty,” said a well-known preach-
er, “is the pastoral calls. I have al-
ways remembered one of the first I
ever made, when I was a green youth,
just out of theological seminary. I had
been called to the bedside of a mem-
ber of my church, who was well knbwn
for his peculiarities and crankiness.
After talking with him a few minutes,
I said:
“ ‘Shall I offer a short prayer with
you?’ .
“ ‘Short or long, use your own judg-
ment,’ he said.
“More and more embarrassed I hes-
itated, and then said; What shall I
pray for?’
“ ‘Exercise your own discretion as
to selection of topics,’ said he.
Motoring Develops Savagry.
Motoring undermines the character
of the man who does it more quickly
than any other disease, says the Lon-
don World. “The confirmed motorist
tas no more sense of truth than the
ncurable fisherman or the incorrig-
ible golfer. He has always just done
so many miles a minute, and killed
more dogs that week than 5nv other
member of his club. He gradually de
velops a savage, rasping way of talk-
ing.”
Things Happen.
From the home of the famous “Keyh-
nel Keeyartah of Cartersville,” away
down South, comes an enthusiastic let-
ter about Postum;
“I was in very delicate health, suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that I could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to dis-
continue the use of the old kind of
coffee, which was like 'poison to me,
producing such extreme disturbance
that I could not control myself. But
such was my love for it that I could
not get my own consent to give it up
for some time, and continued to suffer,
till my father one day brought home a
package of Postum l1 ood Coffee.
“I had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. It proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream great-
ly improves it.
“My health began to improve as
Boon as the drug effect of the old cof-
fee was removed and the Postum Cof-
fee had time to make its influence felt.
My nervous troubles w’ere speedily re-
lieved and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after I
had drunk Postum—in a very short
time I began to slgep better than 1
had for years before. I have now used
Postum Coffee for several years and
like it better and find it more benefi-
cial than when I first began. It is an
unspeakable joy to be relieved of the
old distress and sickness.” Name

Half Rate for Veterans.
Most of the Western railroads have
answered favorably the request of the
department commander of the G. A.
R that veterans be granted a half
fare rate. The Kansas legislature
last winter requested the railroads to
make such a rate, and the G. A. K.
will push the matter. It is expected
that the rate will soon be put into ef-
fect. ____
