"He kept on chewing the rag." “What rag? I see no rag mentioned In the Indictment. This seems to be an assault case. I am not supposed to have even a nodding acquaintance with all j this slang, not any more than I am ex- I pected to be able to understand all the various languages of the African hlack." It may come that Recorder Wler and many others may care to hear of Its origin. That high honor belongs to Tommy Atkins of the British army. Walking his weary rounds on a cold night. Tommy of the earlier days waswont to carry a piece of cloth rag between his teeth, tobacco at the time being probably too expensive for general and salivary pur- \ poses. That rag the soldier boy chewed hard and fast, doubtless to keep his bad temper from flowing out of him In words, the while he kept muttering In his threat his accumulation of grumbles against all In authority over him, with more particu lar reference to the individual who was responsible for his being on sentry-go when the hard pallet of the barracks dormitory would have better filled the bill. By and by It came to be that all discon tented muttertngs and complainings In an undertone came to be set down In the vocabulary of Tommy as "a-chewln’ of the rag.” Piso’a Cure for Consumption cured ma of a tenacious and persistent cough.— Wm.

From the Chicago Chronicle. “Do they need all those for the frat Initiations?” "No, they have Introduced a course for Alpine shepherdesses." "You’re both wrong. It's for the com plexion,” and the last speaker came nearer than either of the others to solving the problem which puzzled Winnetka residents Monday, when a herd of fifteen goats were driven through that fashionable suburb and to the entrance of the Gorton school I for girls. The goats came all the way from Switzerland and will furnish milk for those among the young women whose health demands that particular form of nourishment. “The goats are of two breeds, Pocan burg and Sonnau,” said Mrs. G. L. ' Cook, in charge of the dietary at the seminary. "None of the girls will be obliged to drink the goats' milk unless she Is 111 and needs, but any who desire may make It a regular part of their diet.” _ The Pennsylvania railroad is planting trees so as to provide crossties for use fifteen to twenty years from now.

Mr. Roosevelt's success and a great part of the pleasure In hunting come In large measure from the fact that by temperament and Inclination he is a naturalist. When Mr. Rosevelt went to Harvard In 1876, he intended to take a scientific course there and to become a naturalist. This he probably would have done ex cept for the influence of the instructors at Cambridge. They wished him to go Into ihe laboratory and study the low forms of Invertebrate life and to devote himself to the cutting of sections and the study of cells. They told him that the day of the field naturalist had passed, that his work had all been done and that there was no future for a man In study of that sort. Theodore Roosevelt, however, did not care to spend his life In cutting sections and mounting them on slides and then studying them through a microscope. Nevertheless those early years of study and observation left their mark on his character. As a boy he went to Egypt and while there made a collection of Egyptian birds. which he afterward gave to the national museum in Wash ington, where they now are. An Im portant contribution to ornithology was made many years ago, wnen he sent to the national museum certain Long Isl and specimens of seaside finches, which enabled the committee on nom enclature of the American Ornlthol oglsts’ union to decide as to the validity of certain alleged species and subspe cies at a time when no other speci mens were available on which the de cision could bo based. In 1902 when the president went bear hunting In Mississippi, he secured a number of bear skulls which he Rent to the biological survey, and by them es tablished the fact that the bear of that region Is Ursus luteolus of Griffith, a little-known form, very different from the ordinary black bear. Pi ildent Roosevelt’s writings on big game have given us the best accounts extant of the life and habits of the species of which he has written. All his papers on hunting, nature and wilder ness travel reveal the close observation and accurate knowledge of a naturalist. If this Is a long explanation of the in fluence which moves President Roose velt as a sportsman, it Is a story which gives the key to his Interest in sport and success In It. A great naturalist was lost to the world when politics and statesmanship took the place In his mind of nature study and science. Nitroglycerin for Fuel. Illustrative of possibilities In future warfare. William It. Stewart In his story, "The Fight of the 'Nixon II.,' " In the December Technical World Maga Eine, describes a fuel composed of nitroglycerin and gunpowder, which generates a speed in a submarine of fifty miles an hour. One of the charac ters relates the story: "It was now that we needed more speed than boiler-fed engines could give, and the order went down to change from coal to explosive. Long rods of compound of nitroglycerin and guncotton, a foot In diameter, solidly encased In steel cylinders which forced the burning from only one end, were attached to auxiliary engines and tur bines. A stream of water was turned on, and the explosion, burning without atmospheric oxygen under a p.essure of 250 pounds to the square Inch, and mixing with the water, generated pow er equal to 25,000 pounds’ pressure per square Inch. "As the rush of the new motive was felt on the turbines, the boat, already going at eighteen miles a hour, leaped like a spurred horse iagglng In a race, and In a minute we were speeding at a rate little short of fifty miles an hour. A great mountain of water welled up In our wake, following and towering over us to a height nbove the level of the conning tower. Within the latter the dash of the spray against the armor and the rush of the air made hearing difficult.” _ Things That Went Wrong. From the Chicago Tribune. When Mr. Columbus Gadsden, a west side clothing merchant, went home from his store one evening last week his wife asked him If he noticed a strange and op pressive smell that seemed to fill the house. "Of course I notice it," he said. His keen nostrils has recognized the odor of escaping gas as soon as he entered the building. In order to he sure about It, however, he went down Into the basement to make an examination. Following his nose he groped his way to a far corner, where the odor was almost overpowering. Thoughtlessly he struck a match. The result surprised him. On the floor he found a huge cabbage In the last stages of decomposition. On board the lake steamer bound for St. Joe one fine day a few weeks ago were two young persons whose names, for ob vious reasons, are suppressed. They seemed to avoid each other while on the boat. It was observed, however, that they left the Bteamer together and went to a hotel. Leaving hl3 fair companion there the young man went to the court house and hunted up the county clerk. "Say,” he whispered to that dignitary, “you ought to know something about such matters. Can you direct me to a good, low priced lawyer? My wife and I want to get a divorce." MERCILESS ITCHING. Another Speedy Care of nn Itching Humor with Loss of Hair by the Cuticura Remedies. “For two years my neck was cov ered with sores, the humor spreading to my hair, which fell out, leaving an unsightly bald spot, and the soreness, Inflammation, and merciless Itching made me wild. Friends advised Cuti cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after a few applications the torment subsided, to my great Joy. The sores soon disappeared, and my hair grew again, aa thick and healthy as ever. I shall always recommend the Cuticura Remedies. (Signed) Harry J.

PINKHAM A BRIEF SKETCH OF HER LIFE How the Vegetable Compound Had Its Birth ana How the “Panic of ’73” Caused it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores. THE STORY READS LIKE A ROMANCE This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was horn In Lynn, Mass., February 9, 1S19, com ing from a good old Quaker family. For many years she taught school, and during her career as a teacher she be came known ns a woman of an alert and investigating mind, an earnest seeker nfter knowledge, and above all, she was possessed with a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham. a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daugh ter. In those good old-fashioned days few drugs were used In medicines; people relied upon nature's remedies, roots and herbs, which are to-day recognized ns more potent and efficacious in con trolling diseases than any combination of drugs. Mrs. Pinkham from her youth took a deep interest in medicine, in botany— the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics, and power over dis ease; she believed that as nature so bountifully provides food for the body so she also provides medicine for the Ills and weaknesses of the body, in the roots and herbs of the Held, and ai a wife, mother and sympathetic friend, she often made use of her knowledge of roots and herbs in pre paring medicines for her family and friends. Knowing of so much suffering among her sex, after much study and research, Mrs. Pinkham believed that the diseases of women hare a com mon cause, and she set to work to And a common remedy—not at that time as a source of profit, but simply that she might aid the suffering. How her efforts have been rewarded the women of the world know to-day. In 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity was too much for the large reul estate inter ests of the Pinkham family, as tills class of business suffered most from this fearful depression, so when tiie Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. At this point the history of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound com mences: The three sons and daughter, with their mother, combined forces to re store the family fortune. They re solved to give to the world the vege table compound that Mrs. Pinkham had so often made from roots an#' herbs for such of her women neigh bors and friends who were sick an# ailing. Its success In those cases had been wonderful—Its fame had spread, and calls were coming from miles around for this efficacious vegetable compound. They had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the* question of selling It, for always be fore they had given It away free,. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the mer its of the medicine, now called Lydl* E. I’inkham's Vegetable Compound, and these pamphlets were distributed by the Pinkham sous In Boston, New York and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used lk recommended It to others, and the de mand gradually Increased. In 1877, by combined efforts, the family bad saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising on » small scale, and from that time tb* growth and success of the enterprise* was assured, until today Lydia E, Pinkham and her Vegetable Compound Imre become household words every where, and thousands of pounds ot roots and herbs are used annually ii* making this great remedy for woman’* ills. Although Lydia E. Pinkham passed to her reward some years ago, the per petuation of her great work was guarded by her foresight. During her long and eventful experi ence she was ever methodical In her work and was careful to preserve * record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advic* —and there were thousands—receive# careful study, and the details. Includ ing symptoms, treatment and result*, were recorded for future referenc*. and to-day these records, together wltt* thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and reprer sent a vast collaboration of Informa tion regarding the treatment of wom an’s Ills which, for authenticity and accuracy, can hardly be equaled In any library In the world. Another act of foresight on the pork of Lydia E. Pinkham was to see that some one of her family was trained to carry on her work, and with that end in view, for years before her death,, had as her chief assistant her daugb ter-ln-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham, Therefore, under the guidance and careful training of Lydia E. Pinkham, and n vast experience of her own, covering twenty-five years, the present Mrs. Pinkham Is exceptionally well equipped to advise sick women, which she Is always glad to do free ot charge. The record of Lydia E. Plnkhara’s Vegetable Compound, made of simple herbs and roots, Is a proud and peer less one. It Is a record of constant conquest over the obstinate ills of women, greater than that of any other one medicine of Its kind In the world, und will ever stand as a monument to that noble woman whose name It; bears. ___MB AHTI-GRIPINE IS GUARANTEED TO CURE GRIP, BAD COLD, HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA.
