One Vote Counts as Much as Eight.
In the July American Magazine Hay
Stannard Buker shows how In South
Carolina a little over 2,000 votes elect
a congressman, whereas It requires
14,000 votes to elect a congressman
in Pennsylvania, and lti.OOO In New
York. Under the present system of
political control of the South, there
fore, one voter in South Carolina Is
ns influential in national legislation
as nearly seven voters In Pennsyl
vania and eight in New York.
Longest Word in the Language.
Several correspondents have asked
the New York Press what is the long
est word In the English language.
Such queries are invariably accom
panied with the statement that a
wager depends on the answer. While,
under tho Hughes law, I should not
encourage gambling, It is very tempt
ing to answer: tho longest word Is
"smiles," because It is exactly one
"mile" between tho Initial and final
letters.

Her Letter Beat tne "Meanest Man."
A letter written by a woman de
cided a contest for tho oflleo of presi
dent of a men's elub In tho Bronx a
few days ago. There wero two candi
dates for the place; one- a clerk in a
New York financial institution, whoso
young wife had been a working girl,
the other a wealthy manufacturer,
with a reputation among his neigh
bors for "closeness."
The day before the flection each
member of the little elub received a
typewritten letter, signed by a woman
whom all knew, which began with
these words: "If what I write you Is
not true, It Is libel!" Then she said
that the elub should not honor Its
"meanest man" and related some
amusing incidents to demonstrate that,
she was not mistaken In her estimate
of the man. In closing she wrote:
"What do you think or a man who
has his barn painted and says to his
wife: 'That's your birthday present.'
if you can afford to elect that kind of
a man for your president, go ahead!"
The alleged "meanest man" was de
feated.
A SUCCESSFUL NOVELIST.
Harold MacGrath Has Established an
Enviable Reputation.
Harold MacGrath, whose new novel,
"The Lure of the Mask," has Just ap
peared, was born !I7 years ago in
Syracuse, N. Y. He was educated in
Syracuse schools, and made his start
In lift on a Syracuse newspaper tho
Herald. In 1801 he went .to Chicago
and worked (here as a paragrapher
on the Evening Mall. A group of
brilliant young newspaper men wero
around him Frank Plxley, Georgo
Ade, ISugeno Field, George Horlon
and Kirke La Shelle all unknown at
that time except Field. From Chi
cago MacGrath went to Albany, and
from Albany to New York, and finally
returned to Syracuse, to settle down
to tho pleasant business of writing
entertaining fiction.
In ten years ho has produced six-
novels: "Arms and the Woman,"
"The Puppet Crown," "Tho Grey
Cloak," "The Man on the Box," "Half
a Rogue," and now "The Lure of tho
Mask," which Is published by the
Dobbs-Merrill Co. Besides this, he
has written two novelettes. "Tho
Princess Elopes" and "Hearts and
Masks;" two books of short stories,
"Enchantment" and "The Uest Man;"
and an operetta, "The Watteau Shep
herdess." Many of the Incidents in "The Lure
of the Mask" aro autobiographic.
The scenes of the story are laid, for
tho most part, in Italian cities. Mr.
MacGrath visited Italy In 1906 and
again In 1907, and has woven his
impressions charmingly into the plot.
EXPENSIVE TO LEAD FASHION.
New York Rich Spend Huge Sums
for Clothes.
Tho New York girl Is an expensive
proposition. Tho other day a su
preme court judge Increased the al
lowance of a 17-year-old bud from
$G,000 to $10,000 a year so that she
could dress "as becomes her station."
Some comment was made at the time
that this was rather a large sum for
a young1 girl to spend for raiment,
but, according to a fashionable Fifth
avenue modiste, $10,000 a year Is a
more bagatelle for Miss Manhattan
to spend for frocks and frills.
In n dress parade of the nations tho
Now York specimen of American
beauty, by right of her costly and
unlimited wardrobe, would lead the
procession, for, according to this
fashionnble dressmaker, her sartorial
position is achieved by a reckless dis
regard of money. Twenty thousand
dollars Is only a moderate outlay for
a new spring outfit. At least so says
this dressmaker, who really ought to
know, for she has gowned many
maids and matrons of the smart set.
Nowhero Is money more lavishly
spent for fashionable finery than In
this city, she says, for every Now
York woman's fad seems to bo pretty
clothes. Money may eome and
money may go, hut frocks and frills
go on forever, and there seems to ho
no abatement In the costly desires
of the "sex." While the modiste ad
mltted that she had customers who
spout twice or thrice $20,000 a year
for clothes, she confessed that Miss
New York could be nicely gowned on
$20,000 a ear.

GIVEN TO CHARITY
WORTHY DISPOSAL OF MONEY
WON BY RACERS.
Hospitals Built and the Poor Helped
as the Result of Turf Victories
of Horses Owned by Prom
inent Men.
The king of Sweden recently told a
story of King Edward's charitable pro
pensities, .lust before the race for tho
Derby which the king's horse Diamond
Jubilee carried off, his royal highness
-as he then was was watching the
horses proceeding to the starting. post.
Suddenly turning to the king of
Swedeti, who was with him, he said:
"I am most specially anxious to win
to-day."
"Why so?" Inquired the king.
"Because," was the answer, "I al
ways give the princess whatever
amount my success happens to bring
me. With the stake money or the last
Derby I won the princess provided
1,700 poor boys with a complete out
fit clothes, underlinen, boots, and all
necessaries and stamped on each ar
ticle was 'From your friend the
prince.' "
The duchess of Porflnnd some time
ago presented to her husband a very
handsome blotting book of Russia
leather heavily mounted In silver. On
the mountings are engraved the
names of till the races won by that ex
traordinary racer Donovan. In 1889
Donovan won the Derby and the St.
Leger, besides the Newmarket stakes
and many other important races. The
total sum won by Donovan during his
racing career amounted to 70,000,
and the whole of this largo fortune
the duke gave to his wife for the pur
pose of building almshouses for wid
ows of the duke's tenants and a cot
tage hospital for the neighborhood.
Baron Illrsch was another great
turfite, most of whose winnings went
to charity. During his lifetime he
spent more than 50,000 of turf win
nings on charity. All the winnings of
La Fleehe, amounting in all to 34,
585, were devoted to various charities.
Dogs have done much for charity.
The record In this direction Is held by
Tim, the famous Airdale terrier which
belonged to Mr. Bush, the Great
Western Inspector at Paddlngton
For more than ten years before his
death Tim trotted from train to train,
inviting donations to the railway serv
ants' widows' and orphans' fund
Tho total of his collections exceeded
800. The dog always knew when
royalties were about to travel. Ho
would sit down on the. edge of the
carpet laid on the platform find refuse
to move until he had had something
added to his hoard. On five separate
occasions Queen Victoria placed a
sovereign in his box, and many times
the king has done the same. Mr. V.
V. Astor gave Tim his record pres
ent a check for 200 on the occa
slon of the coming of age of his son
Other animals, too, have Indirectly
contributed to the cause of charity.
At Amersham, in Buckinghamshire,
the superintendent, of the Baptist Sun
day school adopted a novel expedient
for raising money for the Congo mis-
slon. He distributed among his schol
ars a number of rabbits. These they
had to fatten at home, and when fit
for market the creatures were sold,
the proceeds going to the mission.
At Frleth, near Marlow, a pig raised
no less than 7 for charitable pur
poses. It was raffled for and then
given back by the winner and sold
again. In Lancashire town a local
butcher presented a handsome young
pig to a bazar on condition that a
church member, got up In frock coat
and silk hat, should drive it through
the village. The procession caused
great amusement and a collection real
ized more than 3. London Tit-Bits.

Travelers' TaleB.
A distinguished traveler and war
correspondent on a lecture tour in
Scotland spoke one night at a littlo

The chairman of the occasion, after
Introducing the lecturer as "the num

YOU'RE TOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal Derangements
of the Stomach Produce Acid Fer
mentation of the Food.
Ifs Stomach Catarrh
Some people are thin and always re
main thin, from temperamental rea
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can bo dono to cbango this personal
peculiarity.
But thcro aro a largo number of peo-
plo who got tnln, or remain thin, who
naturally would bo plump and fleshy
but for somo dlgestivo derangement.
Thin pooplo lack in adipose tissue.
Adlposo tlsrftio is chiefly composed of
fat. ,
Fat is derived from tho oily constit
uents of food.
Tho fat-making foods are called by
tho physiologist, hydrocarbons. This
class of foods are not digested in tho
stomach at all. They aro digosted in
tho duodenum, tho division of tho ali
mentary canal Just below tho stomach.
Tho digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, tho work of tho pancreatio
ulco. This juieo is of alkalino reac
tion, and. is rendered inert by tho addi
tion of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of tho stomach passing
down into tho duodenum, destroys
tho pancreatic fluid for digestive pur
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its duo proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
Tho beginning of tho trouble is a ca
tarrhal condition of tho stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in tho stomach.
When tho food is taken into tho stom
ach, if tho process of digestion does
not begin immediately, acid fermenta
tion will tako place. This creates a
hyperacidity of tho stomach juices
which in their turn prevent tho pan
creatic digestion of tho oils, and tho
emaciation results.
A dose of Poruna beforo each meal
hastens tho stomach digestion. Uy
hurrying digestion, Peruua prevents
formentatlon of tho contents, of tho
stomach, and tho pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. It then
only remains for tho patient to eat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and tho thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.
