tervlew the ffefillSttlp can girl who has won the applause of monarchs abroad has an idea that GEHAXDIIfE FAK RAR her own country folk are mere barba rians when it comes to appreciation of art of any kind and that one must go to Europe to find a place where a per son of culture may feel at home But Miss Farrar has since said that this in terview misrepresented her She de nies saying that there is no art in America or that her countrymen are little better than barbarians She might be somewhat excused however if the adulation she has received abroad had rather turned her head Isiue years ago she

home on Massa chusetts avenue Washington When the late Duke of Alva and his wife were in this country at the time of the Chicago Worlds fair much was said about the family It once held the title and estates of Columbus in heriting them from Maria de Toledo wife of Diego Columbus It was this family which lent the autographs of Columbus exhibited at the fair An incident of the November elec tions was the defeat for inajor of Me tuchen N J of Dr Charles M Free man Dr Freeman is not known wide ly beyond the bounds of Metuchen but his wife the novelist who won literary fame as Mary E Wilkins has a na tionalindeed an international repu tation Politics and Dlt CHARLES U FBEE1LAN literature were both slightly mixed in the selection for Dr Freeman who is a Republican ran on the Democratic tick et and received 197 votes while the head of the Republican ticket received 224 It was only a few weeks ago that Dr Freeman while en gaged in canvassing for the mayoralty nomination was ar rested on a charge of shooting craps He denied the charge and said It was trumped up by his political opponents Dr Freeman though a medical grad uate does not practice medicine as he has a lumber business that nets him a larger income than he would be likely to obtain through fees from Metuchen patients He met Mrs Freeman at the home of William L Alden of Har pers Weekly and his courting lasted for quite a term of years as his tal ented fiancee caused the postponement of the wedding several times in order that she might complete certain lit erary work upon which she was en gaged Literature and politics were also mix ed in the campaign in Toledo where Brand Whitlock was up for re election as mayor Mr Whitlock won by over 5000 majority running as an inde pendent against the nominees of both Democrats and Republicans As a nov elist he might per haps have counted on the support of his brother novelist Cyrus Townsend Brady who removed not long ago from New York to Tole do to take charge of an Episcopal churcli there But the au thor of The Thir teenth District and the reverend writer of stories of war fare and adventure found themselves onBBA3tD whitlock different sides of the political fence and Dr Brady who inherits a -love of fighting took an active hand in this particular contest Mayor Whitlock received about 2000 more votes than when he was elected the first time ne was a disciple of the late Mayor Gold en Rule Jones and on the latters death iaherited his mantle He still writes and he has the advantage when discussing matters pertaining to gov ernment and sociology of being able to speak from an experience gained in daily contact with such problems The mayor ran on a Golden Rule platform this time just as he did before The victory of the Princeton football eleven over the Carlisle Indian team was in no small degree due to the ter rific line smashing play of the gallant Princeton captain J H McCormick His position in the Tiger eleven is that of fullback Shortly after the game was called McCormick lifted the ball from a little tee at midfield and sent it whirling end over end to the Indians five yard line The Indian player Mount Pleasant leaped ahead caught CAPTAIN J II ilCOKillCK the slippery leather on the fly and dash ed headlong over the slimy field eight yards toward his opponents bars be fore he was brought down by the on ward avalanche of orange and black forward Offside play however caused by Prince tons overeagerness to get into the scrimmage cost her a five yard penalty and forced McCor mick to kick off once again The pale face fullback wrote a witness of the Incident booted the pigskin once more to Carlisles five yard mark where the ever alert Mount Pleasant picked it up and trickled through the onrushing Tigers like water through a mans fin gers On he sped for twenty yards placing the spheroid on his own twenty-five yard line division Later in the game McCormick show ed his great line bucking ability by driving slam bang through the totter ing Indian line to midfield for a gain Df twenty yards JAMES A HEMENWAY Indiana Senator Who 13 In Charge of the Fairbanks Boom When Charles W Fairbanks was elected vice president of the United States and vacated his seat as a sena tor from Indiana James A Hemen way at that time a congressman was chosen to fill it Mr Hemenway has long been a close friend of the vice president and he is now in charge of the interests of the latter in respect to the Republican nomination for presi dent His career is an illustration of what ambition and perseverance may do for even a young man who starts life seemingly with few advantages Mr Hemenway was born on a farm near Boonville Ind in 1SG0 and he has made his way up from poverty by his own efforts entirely One day about two years ago Senator JAMES A HEMENWA2 way and Governor Hanly of Indiana made speeches In Evansville Across the street from the building where they spoke was the livery stable where the senator had once worked as a hos tler In front of the building was the main of a gas company and when the main was laid Governor Hanly dug in the ditch for 75 cents a day Senator Hemenway once lived in a dugout in Kansas and when nothing else was doing he would gather up the bones of buffaloes and haul them to Atchison for sale as fertilizer The senator was once telling of an incident in connec tion with a campaign in which he par ticipated In one town it was ar ranged that when the big orators of the day had had their say with refer ence to politics there were to be a number of side shows A pompous politician who had served a term in the state legislature and was by reason of that fact on extremely good terms with himself while en deavoring with a number of ladies to make his way through a dense crowd that surrounded one of the shows found himself unable to proceed far ther because of a burly individual whom he could not thrust aside Draw ing himself up to his full height the politician tapped the offending one on the shoulder sayiug as he did so Here Make way there Who are you that you should push me round that way demanded the native A representative of the people sir exclaimed the politician indignantly The man grinned Oh that aint nothin said he We folks here air the peepul theirselves BRIDE OF THE REGIMENT General Fitz Hugh Lees Daughter and the Seventh Cavalry U S A A wedding of

Clerk STOMACH IS SEAT F HUMAN LIFE New Theory Advanced by Young Man Is Spreading Over Entire Country L T Coopers theory concerning the human stomach which he claims to prove with his new medicine is being given more respect and comment every day Cooper claims that 90 per cent of all ill health is due to stomach trouble When interviewed about his theory re cently he said Stomach trouble is the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are con cerned Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions In earlier days when the human race was closer to nature and men and women worked all day out of doors digging their frugal existence from the soil the tired droopy half sick people that are now so common did not exist To be sure there was sickness in those days but it was of a virulent character and only temporary There was none of this half sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate It lacks tone and strength This weak ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape vThe sole reason for my success is be 1 cause my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks time That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine than I have had time to talk with Among the immense numbers of peo ple who are now strong believers in Coopers theory and medicine is Irs M E Delano a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline Boston Mass She says For several years I was broken in health caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles I gradu ally became worse until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for days at a time I had sour stomach palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart dyspepsia and extreme ner vousness I suffered terribly with in somnia and my liver bowels and whole system gradually became de ranged I felt instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine I now feel like a new being Today I walked all over town shopping something I have not done for years I mako this statement wholly froi a sense of duty I feel I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness as I have done The record made by the Cooper med icines is astonishing We will take pleasure in discussing it with anyone who wishes to know about then A McMillen Stni th r Q per YOU WOULD DO WELL TO SEE J M Rupp FOR ALL KINDS OF Rpfrft Qp V O Box 131 MoCook Nebraska McCook Laundry O C HECKMAN Prop Dry and Steam
