The propheele* that Mother Shlpton madf
Have been fulfilled, save that the world
roll# on;
B«»fore us moving pictures are dlfiplayed,
We at 111 may hear his voice who’s dead
and gone;
Naw wonders are accomplished day by
day.
We turn a knob and lo. there In a light!
But women will not cease to file away
The foolish letters men should never
write.
We hatter ancient superstitions down.
And reason finds a fairer, broader scope;
Racli day some new Inventor wins re-
nown
By savin* labor and Increasing hope;
Improvement Is the order everywhere,
The Ills that once were fatal we pre-
vent ;
But people keep believing It Is fair
To plot and scheme to rob the govern-
ment.
FOR SICK CHILD
“California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children ‘‘California Syrup of
Figs" that this Is their Ideal laxative,
because they love Its pleasant taste
and It thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross. Irritable, feverish or
breath is bad. stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teappoouful of this harmless “fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When Its little system Is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic—remem-
ber, a good "inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Mllllcns of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" bandy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.
Most Any Time.
The scene is set.
A country road, trees, sky, summer
homes, a lake in the distance. A
steam railway line crosses the road
at right angles. ^
Enter, up the road, an automobile
well loaded and running at high
speed. ]
Both automobile and train are rush-
ing toward the crossing.
Owner of automobile to chaffeur:
“Can you make it?”
The chauffeur, speeding up: "Sure
I can make It."
He doesn’t.—Cleveland Plain Dealer

"What was it?”
"She told ma she thought you were
such a haudsome-looklng man and
held your age so well.”
"She did, eh?” he replied, pushing
out his chest and pretending that It
didn’t make any particular difference
to him what she had said.

Mineral Springs, Ark.—In a letter
from this place, Mrs. J. M. Rivers says:
“If it had not been for Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, no doubt 1 would have
been In my grave.
I was sick all of the time for 10
years, and took medicines constantly.
I suffered terribly. At last, I decided
I would just try Cardui on my own
hook, and kept It a secret. It was cer-
tainly a God-send to me. Since taking
It, I have no pain whatever, feeling
good, and can wrestle with my 16-year-
old son. In fact, I don’t feel over 16
myself. Am as happy as a lark. When
I began taking Cardui I only weighed
101 lbs. Now I weigh 117^ lbs., and
am going to continue taking Cardui
until I weigh 135.
1 just can't say enough for Cardui,
and I believe if all women who suffer
from womanly troubles would take it,
there would be more happy homes.”
Using Cardui is no experiment. It
has stood the most severe of all tests—
the test of time. Cardui line been hi
use for over half a century, and In thi*
time hus benefited more than a million
women. It Is composed of purely vege-
table Ingredients, which have been
found to build up tho vitality, tone up
the nerves, nnd strengthen the worn
anly constitution.
That It has helped others is the best
of proof that It will help you. Try
Cardui.

WO\SHINGTON.—Bryan F. Mahan,
vf who as representative from the
Second Connecticut district is serv- j
ing his first term in the lower 'house j
of congress, is the only man In that :
body who Is also and simultaneously j
mayor of a city as well. Mahan got I
re-elected mayor of New London,
Conn., last year, for about the nth
time, and when he was put up for
congress last fall on the Democratic
ticket he thoughtfully held on to
what he already had.
Of course, with the Republican par-
ty split wide open In the district It
looked like a cinch for the Democrat,
but you never can tell In politics, and
Mahan was bound and determined to
hold some kind of a Job whichever
way the cat Jumped.
After he was elected the question
arose. What was he going to do with
the mayoralty? Local politics In New
London was In such a fluid state that
Mahan didn’t, know of any available
man who would or could maintain the
true Jeffersonian principles of the
fathers as mayor except himself.
“This being thus," suggested a
friend, “why not keep on with the
Job?”
It listened good to Mahan. He
looked up the law and found that
while it was forbidden to hold two
federal jobs at the same time, no-
body was enjoined against mixing
federal, state and local oJBces to suit,
provided he could get them. So Ma-
han stuck.
Now he "week-ends” at New Lon-
don, where he is mayor. The rest of
the time he spends In Washington
legislating for the whole people. It's
a great combination.
Mahan's salary as mayor Is only
11,000 a year, and as his railroad
fares must total up nearly that much
In the course of a twelvemonth. It
may be assumed that he Is either
plugging for glory or immolating him
self upon the altar of principle. Or,
again, maybe he Is cannily keeping
bis grip on the organization that sent
him to congress. To a representative
1914 is nearer than the calendar
would have him believe.
Remarkable Ornament on an Old Trophy Cannon
••ANY persons stop to examine
1»I more or less closely or more^ or
less carelessly the handsome gray-
green bronze trophy guns at the foot
of the stairway at the north entrance
to the state, war and navy depart-
ment building. It Is surprising, or It
Is not surprising, according to one's
caste of thought, how many specta-
tors fall to see the remarkable and
unusual feature of the gun on the
east side of the entrance—the gun
which Is the younger and the more
ornate of the pair.
The east gun bears among various
Inscriptions the words Le Farouche,
which may be translated "The |
Fierce," “The Savage," or "The j
Wild.” On the cascabei or the base j
of the breech of this venerable \
smooth-bore muzzle-loading cannon, •
cast by Jean Maritz at Douy, France, •
in July, 1748, is the face of an angry
lion with the butt of a thorned stake
or war club protruding from Its
mouth. Whether the name of the
gun was given it because of the
fierce image on its base or whether
the image was cast there because the
gun was to be called “The Fierce"
neither the writer nor the superinten-
dent of the state, war and navy build-
lng, who la the custodian of this and
other trophy guns, knows. But the
face Is there.
Thousands of tourists gaze on the
art handles of the gun. They are
bronze dolphins. The tourists puzzle
over or study the coat-of-arms of
France, the crown of France, the bat-
tle emblems, sabers, cannon, drums,
flags and trumpets, the circle of
fleur-de-lis of the house of Bourbon
and the face of Pallas surrounded by
the rays of a blazing sun. But few
of the pilgrims ever stoop to study
the remarkable face and club at tho
butt of the historic gun, which, by
the way, though French, was taken
by Americans from one of the forts,
either the Morro or Sacopa, at the
mouth of Santiago harbor In 1898 and
mounted in Washington In the spring
of 1899.

The Senator From New Mexico Had to Explain
IT was during tho discussion of the
1 Indian bill in tho senate that Sen-
ator Ballinger asked:
“What is peyote?”
“The senator from New Mexico can
explain,” replied Chairman Stone.
’’But I would prefer to have the
senator from Missouri explain.” per-
sisted Ballinger, who saw a little fun
In It.
But Stone turned to Senator Fall,
who told the senate that Peyote was
a drink which the Indian* made from
cactus, which was not so intoxicating
as whiskey, but a fair substitute.
It was Senator Ballinger who re- I
plied to Senator Owens’ sneering re-
marks about men from the east who
go out west and "nose around among
the Indluns." It was Senator Ballin-
ger who called attention to men from
the ohst who Imd always given the

He first mentioned Senator Dawes of
Massachusetts, who devoted his sen-
ato service to tho red mon. Then
came Senator Platt of Connecticut
whoso long service on the Indian com
mittoe made him known a* a friend
of the Indian. Then he alluded to
Senator Quay, "whoso last speech In
the senate was about the Indians and
brought teara to the eye* of many
