At Last.
A peculiarly appropriate memorial is
ihe bronze tablet which is to be placed
apon the fiaRSlaff in Fort Mcllenry, at
Baltimore, which stands! on the exact
'pot where stood Ihe old staff during
.he battle in 1814, nays the Troy (N. !
If.) Times. It was the sight of the I
Stars and Stripes floating from Ihe old
itaff whcih incited Francis Scott Key,
hen a prisoner in the hands of the
British and detained on a vessel which
rommanded a full view of the scene, to
•ompose the immortal "Star Spangled
Banner," now the national anthem. Key
was born and lived in Maryland and
«as an ardent young patriot, and his
emper is indicated plainly in the
rerses which have given him fame.
I'he memorial is authorized by con-
sress, will be of shield shape and prop-
erly inscribed and will be the only tes-
imonial of the kind in Baltimore. The
Sun evidently regards this as a re-
proach upon the city, and remarks:
'Although Key was a native of Mary-
,and and wrote the national anthem
while he was out on the river at the
:ime Fort McHenry's batteries repulsed
ihe British fleet as it was attempting
lo bombard the then tiny city of Balti-
more, Baltimoreans have never given
much thought to honoring the man
<vho was inspired by the city's gallant
defense to write the ode which has
since been the tune that has stirred
ihe nation's heart more than once. The
Sun points out that while monuments
and statues have been erected to near-
ly every other hero Maryland has pro-
duced, the memory of Key has been
strangely neglected. This is the more
notable because Key has been signally
honored in various other places
throughout the United States, particu-
larly in far-off San Francisco, which
lias a beautiful monument that cost
$60,000. So the Sun calls upon Balti-
more to do its duty, and doubtless the
summons will be obeyed.
At last the worm has turned, the
worm in this particular instance being
the audience at the banquet table.
From many sources there are outcrop-
pings of a protest against windjam-
mers, if we may use the word without
offending the gentlemen. One organ-
ization has gone so far as to insist on
seeing Ihe speech in advance and cen-
soring it, which is a good way if thay
have a man with a big blue pencil and
strong nerve. Some gentlemen with
nothing lo say have no more sense
than to get up in a banquet hall at a
late hour and say it. Usually they have
a position in society or in politics that
protects them from the opinions of
their neighbors, so they string along
the history of Ihe world from Ihe be-
ginning, bringing it up lo date and pro-
jecting it a few miles into the future
for good measure. If a way to stop
them has been found the banquet-eat-
ing world will breathe a sigh of relief.
Let the remedy be applied without fear
or favor.
Holler skating is quite an ancient
pastime. It began in the early sixties
with what is known as parlor skates,
having India rubber wheels, as the
thoughtful designer explained, so his
youthful patrons should not injure the
drawing room carpet. For a while the
clumsy things were tried and aban-
doned, until Plimpton invented a skate
that could describe a curve on a side-
ward pressure of the foot, and then the
exercise became popular and has re-
mained in favor ever since by fits and
starts. There are seasons for rolling
skating as for tops and marbles and
hall games, but no one can give their
precise dates, it depends on the ca-
price of a juvenile neighborhood. Let
one agile boy skate along the cleat-
sidewalk, and presently troops of imita-
tors are rolling after him, cutting all
sorts of capers to egg on the daring lit-
tle girls to the same performance.
Probably in the next century boys and
girls will be roller skating.
Audubon park, in upper New Yorlj
city, has been regarded as a memorial
of John Audubon, the renowned nat-
uralist, whose specialty was ornitholo-
gy. There he lived in his own home
for a long time, until his death, Janu-
ary 27, 1851, and there his wife died
20 years later. The naturalist expend-
ed much money to keep it a private
park, having brought there some rare
birds; and even now it is said that
some of these birds nest in the trees of
the park and In Trinity cemetery, cIoro
beside, wherein Audubon's body was
buried. Now all this Is to go, and a
great part of the old estate is already
gold in tracts and lots, and will be oo*
cupied by apartment houses.
FINE RECIPE FOR COLDS
Mix half ounce of Concentrated pine
compound with two ounces of glycerine
and a half pint of good whiskey.
This simple mixture is to be used in
doses of a teaspoonful to a tablespoon-
ful four limes a day. The bottle should
be well shaken each time.
Any druggist can supply the ingredi-
ents and it can be mixed at home.
The Concentrated pine is a pine prod-
uct refined for medical use. It comes
only in half ounce bottles, each en-
closed in a round case, which is air-
tight and retains all the original
strength in the fluid, but be sure it is
labeled "Concentrated" in order to get
the genuine article.

Prof. Munyon says: Cure a cold and
you prevent Consumption. His opin-
ion is now shared by the leading
physicians of the country, and the
wonderful cures that are being made
by Munyon's Cold Remedy have at-
tracted the attention of the whole
medical fraternity. These little sugar
pellets break up a cold in a few hours,
and almost universally prevent Bron-
chitis and Pneumonia.
Woman to Conduct Large Estate.
Mrs. Jennie L. Doane of Brockton,
Mass., has been appointed to adminis-
ter tlie half million dollar estate of the
late R. N. Packard and also to have
complete control of his large shoe fac-
tory. Mr. Packard died suddenly
without making a will. His heirs were
a brother and two sisters, none of
whom knew anything about his busi-
ness. Mrs. Doane had been in the
employ of Mr. Packard for a number
of years and he had often spoken of
her ability to his relatives, declaring
that she had more brains than any
two men of his acquaintance. For
that reason his heirs asked to have
her appointed and put in full charge
of his business.
Laughter in the Court.
An old plasterer is called upon to
give evidence for the plaintiff. Coun-
sel for the defense tries to bully him.
"Have you ever been in prison?" "Yes,
twice." "Ah! how long Ihe first time?"
"One whole afternoon." "What! And
the second time?" "Only one hour."
"And pray what offense had you com-
mitted to deserve so small a punish-
ment?" "I was sent to prison to white-
wash a cell to accommodate a lawyer
who had cheated one of his clients."
What His Wife Gave Him.
The boss builder was standing on
the edge of ihe great cavity at Thirty-
fourth Rtreet that they have been dig-
ging for the past few years, when an
Irishman walked toward him.
'Look here," he sa'd. "Didn't I fire
you yesterday?"
"Yes," said the Irishman, "and I
don't want you to do it again, either.
My wife gave me the devil about it
when I got home."—New York Times.
DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.
Many daily habits, particularly of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol-
lowing our elders.
In this way ill health is often fas-
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
"I had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since 1 could remember, but even
as a child I had a weak stomach,
which frequently refused to retain
food.
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as 1 found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.
"I now see that it was only from fol-
lowing Ihe example of my elders that
1 formed and continued the miserable
habit of drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre-
quent headache, and yet I did not sus-
pect the true cause.
"Another trouble was a bad, muddy
complexion for which 1 spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc.,
without any results.
"After 1 was married I was asked to
try Postum, and would you believe it,
I, <in old coffee toper, took to Postum
from the very first. We made it right
—according to directions on the pltg.,
and it had a most delicate flavor, and I
at once quit coffee, with the happiest
results.
".I now have a perfectly clear, smooth
skin, fine digestion and haven't had a
headache in over two years."
"There's a Reason."

Somewhat Odd Use Would-Be Pur-
chaser Had for Beer.
This Is one of the pet stories of W.
R. Smith, general attorney for the
Santa Fe, says the Kansas City Star.
One must almost be a Kansan to get
the real chuckle out of it. A man i
dropped into a Kansas drug store and !
asked for a bottle of beer.
"All right," said the druggist, reach-!
ing for the "sign-up" book. "What
reason shall 1 give?"
"I'm not sick," said the purchaser.
"Well, if you don't want it for
medical purposes, do you want it for
mechanical uses?" asked the druggust.
"Sure, sure—for mechanical," was
the reply.
"Well, specify," went on the drug- j
gist."
"H'm, h'm," muttered the buyer, i
scratching his head. "H'm—Oh, yes— I
that's right—I want it to grease a
buggy with."
Oh, Father!
"Father, you must not drop your j
final 'g's.'"
Thus Gwfcndolin obsessed by nou- J.
veau culture, to father, retired pork
packer.
"But I haven't been droppin' 'em."
"There yoti go. Droppin'! And you
say 'comin' and goin' and eatin'' with- !
out any final g' sound at all. It's aw- i
ful."
A pause.
"Gwenny." *
"Yes."
"May I drop the final 'g' in egg?"
AND THEY'VE GOT IT!

"What can I do," roared the fiery
orator, "when I see my country going
to ruin, when I see our oppressors'
hands at our throats, strangling us,
and the black clouds of hopelessness

perity? What, I ask, can I do?"
"Sit down!" shouted the audience.
MIX FOR COLDS

one ounce syrup sarsaparilla and one

spoonful doses before each meal and

hours, and cures any cold that ie

" Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound ?"
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. 1 here is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi-
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—" When I first began taking' Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been
sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
"For three years I lived 011 medicines and thought I would
never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
"My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
"I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. They won't
regret it, for it will surely cure you." — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
811) Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
