40 miles to reach a polling place where
she could cast Iter own ballot.
Why Thejr Are Not Viipalur.
Emergency rations tire not popular
in the army. A largo pill for a menl
may quiet the stomach, bv.t fails to
satisfy the ego. A prominent physi
cian explains the matter: "We have
teeth, u palate, Jaw muscles and other
pieces of machinery that tiro ignored,
if not insulted, when you pop n tab
let into a man's mouth and say:
There, you've had your dinner.' "
Football h Mnney-Maker.
Football Is the great money-maker
among college sports. Harvard's
iinaneial statement of athletics,
Which is doubt lesH representative,
allows thut the net profits from foot
bull last season were $12,Sfi9, making
good tlie deficit in other branches of
sport, enabling the expenditure of
more than $20,000 In permanent lin
provemeuts, and leaving a net balance
for the year of $20,500.

Rev. Diehard II, Wrlghtnuin, pastor

preaching the gospel. He does not,
however, intend to give up the minis
try. On the contrary, ho intend to
enter upon more ambitious plumi,
supporting himself in buslnewi and
preaching and working without com
pensation of any kind.

gular rapidity. In October last we

ing fact that this bulunce is $10,000,000
greater than in the same month last

CrawfordHvJlU', Intl., Dee. 18. Wnr
rants have been Issued for the arrest
of -13 men who are charged with hav
ing sold their votes to the democratic
party at the Inftt presidential election.
Warrants will be issued this week for
n number of others, and it is stated
by those having the matter in chnrgo
that wholesale arrests will probably
be made before the iilTuir is over. The
peculiar thing about the whole trans
action Ih the fact that the men push
ing the prosecution are the men who
bought the votes, Charles Benjamin,
democratic chairman of Crawford
vllic, swearing out the warrants, Ben
jniniii claims that he paid Beoros of
"flouting" voters $1 each to vote the
democratic ticket. Under the Indiana
law the only person who Is criminally
liable is the one who sells his vote
and the Informer Is paid a reward of
$100 for each purchased vote. It Is to
secure this reward that Benjamin
brings these suits.
INTERVIEW WITH CLEVELAND
Kx-I'resldent Hitys the Denmnriitla Party
IImh "Wandered After Htrange Clods"
Not fatally Disorganized, Ho Hays.
Atlantn, Ga Dec. 18. The Atlanta
Journal prints an . interview with
Former President Cleveland obtained
by n stait correspondent nt Mr. Cleve
land's home. "In my opinion," said
Mr. Cleveland, "the great need of the
democratic party is to return to first
principles. The democratic party lias
been fatally disorganized but It Badly
needs rehabilitation on purely demo
crat io lines. What is the matter with
the party? It has In my humble
judgment, simply wandered oil" after
strange gods. A large mass of demo
cratic voters saw this before the last
election. They remained quiet but
when the time came to vote they said:
'This is not democracy,' and refused to
support it. As I see It, It is the duty
of democrats everywhere to aid in
the rehabilitation of the party. With
a sincere return to its old-time doc
trines the old-time victories of the
democratic party will certainly be
won."

activity are increasing. A story thut

information is that the country is

He saw what seemed to be a ball of fire
coming directly toward him, leaving a
long, red streak behind it. Before he
could move out of his tracks- he heard the
object strike the earth a few feet away, and
after a short search he found a grayish ball,
perhaps 1J inches in diameter. He stood
for a moment gazing thoughtfully down at.
it. Then he raised his hat, scratched his-
head solemnly and said: Holy St. An

One Woman who has Done a Great Deal'
to put Down this Evil.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 17, 190O1
(Special). When the Independent Or--tier
of Good- Templars of Minnesota,
wanted n. State Organizer, they chose
Mrs. Laura J. Smith, of 1217 West 33rd .
Street, this city. The American Anti--Treat
League also selected Mrs. Smith j
as National Organizer. The reason Isr
not far to seek. This gifted woman has
devoted her life to a battle against
Drink nnd Drinking Habits, ner influ
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ngo, however, if
seemed as If this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic work
bevere pains in her back nnd under her
snouiuer bladea, made life a burden
and work Impossible. Physicians were
consulted, and they prescribed for
Kidney Disease. Three months' treat
ment, however, failed to give Mrs..
Smith any relief. Her husband was,
much exercised, and cast about him for
something that would restore his goodt
wife to health and strength. He heard!
of the cures effected by Dodd's Kidney
Tills, and advised her' to try them,,
which !he did. She is now a well wom-i
an nnd saj-s:
"Two weeks after I commenced tak
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills, I felt much,
better, and at the end of seven weeks
was completely cured. I have had no,
recurrence of the trouble, but-1 take n.
pill oil and on, nnd find that it keeps me
In good health."

all dealers nt 50 cents a box.
They are easily within the rench of
all, and no woman can afford to suffer,
when such a simple and sure Remedy
is at hand.
