v Alia ana Muscle.
In all feats of skill the influence of
the mind is most important. To per
form in thoroughly good style any
difficult feat of skill it, is absolutely
necessary that the mind must be free
from fear, anxiety or nervousness. I
knew once, years ago, writes Dr. W.
R. C. Latson, in Outing, a man who
had been a bull fighter in Spain. Dur
ing one of his glowing accounts of
the sport I expressed my surprise that
he should have left the life. His re
ply was: “One day I was about to
enter the ring, and I had a little
creepy feeling of fear. Then I
stopped for good. The man who feels
fear is sure to be killed.” And it is
equally true that the man who fears
is heavily handicapped, no matter
what the contest may be. Anxiety
and nervousness are closely akin to
fear; and both are so powertul in their
effect as to render it almost impossi
ble for one to perform perfectly any
difficult or delicate feat of skill. The
man who is afraid or anxious or nerv
ous is almost sure to fail. All emo
tions when intense have a powerful
effect upon the .muscles. This is
plainly seen in the tension of the
muscles, clinching of hands and arms,
as well as of the face in anger, in the
spasmodic breathing of excitement, in
the muscular weakness and trembling
of fear, and in many other conditions
that might be mentioned. Now, in
feats of skill of whatever nature,
whether balancing, juggling, marks
manship, tumbling, or shot putting, it
is necessary that just the right
muscles must be used at just the right
instant, and to just the right degree.
When, however, the muscles are dis
turbed by emotional excitement, such
delicate adjustment is impossible, and
the probable result is failure. The
mental state most conducive to suc
cess in games of skill is confident
calmness. And by practice this state
of mind may be made a habit—a habit
most valuable in all games of skill,
even in that game of skill called life.
Hollow .Success.
If we may believe the words of a
wealthy New Yorker who evidently is
no novice in business affairs in the
metropolis, modem financial success
is about as satisfying to the con
science as the Ben Davis apple is to
the plate. It is attractive to look
upon, but inside is gall and worm
wood. This man’s letter is worth
reading by young men on the farm
who are looking ahead to life of pros
perity and wealth in the city. We
quote the following extract: “Many
years ago I came here from a coun
try town, poor as any boy could well
be; found employment in a large con
cern, bettered my position year after
year; became a partner, then the head
of the concern. Made a fortune, a
large one; now retired. When I die
I shall lepve my children each a for
tune, but when I think it over day
after day I can only be ashamed of it
all. I suppose I was no worse than
the others. I know some were worse
than I. I could always say: ‘It’s
good business,’ but I forgot that there
was such a thing as a square deal.
If I could get the better of an asso
ciate or a customer or an employe, I
did. Anything that I could do to at
tain my success was good business
and I did it. I have given to charity,
headed subscriptions, but it doesn’t
satisfy me. I know what I have done
wasn't manly. Last night I sat with
other so-called successful men. I
studied them. When they can’t help
thinking they think just as I do. The
modern success is rank failure. It has
made this country rich; it has made
it great; it has made its people selfish
and unprincipled. I would give all
I possess to-night if I could say: ‘I
have given every one a square deal
I have done no man a wrong.’ Think
it over; it will mean a lot to you some
day.”
The political crime of the age is
Jhe failure of free citizens who aro
armed with the ballot to take any
part in the election of their public of
ficials and lawmakers. Just at this
moment, when a hundred million oi
Russian peasants who are sodden in
ignorance and steeped in the degrada
tion with which centuries of despot*
ism can overwhelm a people are strug
gling desperately to gain control oi
their national government, thousand!
and even millions of the free citizens
pf the United States are voluntarily
abandoning their political rights anc
duties and are refusing to have any
thing to do with their public affairs;
and, above all, they discard the ballot.

COBURN OF KANSAS DECLINES
_ SENATGRSHIP.
{*25*._
Well-Known Agriculturist Has Re
fused Other Offices That He Might
Help Farmers — Ex-Judge
|jy, Benson Succeeds Burton.
Topeka, Kan.—F. D. Coburn, secre
tary of the state board of agriculture,
who was tendered the appointment to
succeed Joseph R. Burton in the United
States senate, noticed Gov. Hoch that
he could not accept. The governor
then offered the appointment to former
Judge A. W. Benson of Ottawa, Kan.,
who accepted it.
The offer of the senatorial toga to
Secretary Coburn was peculiarly popu
lar among the farmers. But had he ac
cepted it they would have been dis
gruntled, it is declared, for “Coburn of
Kansas” was just the man for them,
they said. ,
"Coburn of Kansas” might have been
governor. But the agriculturists said
they couldn't do without him as secre
tary of the state toard of agriculture.
So secretary he remained.
“Coburn of Kansas” might have gone
to congress. But the stockmen cried
that they could never raise their stock
without his help. And he kept on be
ing secretary.
The late President McKinley during
his second term wanted “Coburn of
Kansas” for secretary of the national
department of agriculture. “But what’ll
we do when the bugs come ’round?” de
manded the crchardists. And so he
continued working for the grangers of
Kansas.
“Coburn of Kansas” stands up for his
state, as Secretary Wilson learned in |

Burton’s Seat in the Senate.)
1902, when the former, by the figures
of the latter's own department, showed
a statement credited to Secretary Wil
son that "Kansas was in the semi-arid
belt” was incorrect.
Foster Dwight Coburn was born in
Jefferson county, Wis., in May 1846.
Mustered out of the Sixty-sixth Illinois
infantry as a sergeant major at Fort
Gibson, I .T., in 11866—he enlisted in
the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Illi
nois infantry at the age of 18 years.
He went to Franklin county, Kan.
There he worked as a farm hand for a
few years until he had saved enough
to secure his own farm. About two j
years later he was married to Miss Lou !
Jenkins. Their two daughters and a 1
son are graduates of the state agricul
tural college.
Coburn was made secretary of agri
culture in 1881, after he had served a
year as clerk in the department. He
held the secretaryship for six years,
when he resigned to edit the Kansas
City Lifestock Indicator.
The late George W. Glick in 1882
made Coburn president of the agricul
tural college regents, a position the
latter held tilt 1903, when he resigned
because, as he said, his "old fogy” no
tions conflicted with the theoretics of
the college president.
In 1894 Coburn was unexpectedly
made secretary of the state board of
agriculture again. He has remained
there ever since. He was chosen chief
of the department of livestock of the
St. Louis exposition in 1902. As an au
thority on things agricultural “Coburn
of Kansas” is renowned in England,
Scotland, Canada, Australia and South
Africa, where his works are used as
text books.
A. W. Benson for 12 years was a
Judge Of the Fourth district bench,
from which he retired eventually to re
turn to the private practice of law. He
was a member of the last legislature,
and gamed a good deal of attention in
that legislature by his ability. His
speech against the state refinery bill,
in which he declared the measure un
constitutional, became famous.
At that time Gov. Hoch expressed
great admiration lor Benson, and said
that he would like to see him a mem
ber of the supreme court bench. When
the next vacancy on that bench oc
curred people expected Hoch to appoint
Benson, but they were disappointed.
A second vacancy on the same bench
occurred and Hoch again missed the
opportunity of appointing Benson by
giving the position to another man.
But Hoch did make Benson a member
of the advisory committee appointed to
work with the special accountant to in
vestigate the books of all the state de
partments.
When a vacancy on the supreme
bench occurred during Gov. Stanleys
administration Benson was urged for
appointment, but the railroads opposed
it successfully.

LOSS TO GERMAN EMPIRE.
Retirement from Public Office of
Most Valuable Member of
Government Staff.
Every country has little known men
who exercise great influence. With
the recent resignation of Baron von
Holstein, head of the intelligence de
partment of its foreign office, German
official life lost such a man, says
Youth's Companion. Indeed, it might
be said that Europe has lost a force
on which it could count. For more
than a generation Baron von Holstein
has been influential in framing the
German foreign policy. He began un
der Bismarck, whose confidential ad
viser he was. The succeeding foreign
secretaries have been dependent on
his broad and intimate knowledge of
European politics, and have had to
respect his unvarying loyalty to what
he regarded the interests of the Fa
therland, a ioya-.ty unaffected by per
sonal jealousies and ambitions. He
is one of those rare men to whom the
cause for which he wrorked was every
thing. He had neither wife nor child
to distract him; he never went to
court; rarely met ambassadors. He
worked in his study for the elory of
the German empire, and worked so
successfully that the various foreign
secretaries had to keep him in office
until the present. Although it is de
nied, his resignation is now believed
to be due to imperial dissatisfaction
with the outcome of German interfer

30 tons. The veritable skeleton of the animal, weighing two tons, is
mounted alongside the cast. The counterfeit is a shell of papier-mache,
cast from molds taken from the whale when the latter had been newly
killed and towed for this purpose to Balena Station, on the south coast of
Newfoundland.

pitality of the railway companies on
such occasions is embarrassing at best
and under existing circumstances is
not to be thought of. The president
must pay his own traveling expenses
or they must be paid from the public

add to the many penalties of the presi

Woodchuck as a Family Pet.
An odd pet is owned by a Brunswick
family. It is a two-years-old wood
chuck, which has become very tame.
He lives in a hole near the cellar of
the house, and always comes out when
the skimming of the milk is going on,
in which he appears much interested.
September 25, 1905, he seemed to be
very sleepy and disappeared, and noth
ing further was seen of him until
Fast day, when he reappeared. He had
been in a state of hibernation for
seven months and one day. He was
very glad to see the family and was
in very good flesh despite his long
winter’s sleep.—Kennebec Journal.

CONCERNING BREAKFAST.
This Meal Especially Should Be
Served in Appetizing Way—A
Good Bill of Fare.
Breakfast either makes or mars the
day. A nutritious, appetizing break
fast, perfectly cooked and daintily
served, is an inspiration; and the man
who has breakfasted well goes to his
work with a zeal that the man who
has partaken of a poorly cooked,
greasy, indigestible breakfast cannot
know, who goes to his labor with a
load in his stomach and on his spir
its, too.
As we live ia the country, I aim to
make the most of what we raise on
the farm, and produce appetizing
meals therefrom, and also utilize the
leftovers so that nothing be wasted.
In the first place, we always have
plenty of milk and cream. I think
I hear some sister say: "How can
you manage to have cream when you
take the milk to the factory?” Well,
we save out a good mess of milk at
night, and I separate all the cream
from the milk, as a little cream puts
the finishing touch to so many dishes,
while the skim milk can be used to
good advantage in many other ways.
We think it more economical than
buying the extra meat and other
foods we would have to, to make up
a diet of the same nutritive value.
I believe that workingmen require
a hearty breakfast, but I would draw
the line at warm biscuit and too much
meat and fried salt pork, and as a
rule prefer freshly cooked potatoes.
Potatoes will boil in half an hour, and
we like them creamed in the follow
ing way:
Boil in slightly salted water, drain,
sprinkle generously with salt and
mash with fork, add one-half cup
cream and some butter and beat
awhile, then add more cream, or milk
if necessary, and beat vigorously un-,
til it is a light, creamy mass. Pile in
dish immediately (as it is not as good
if allowed to stand in kettle), dot with
butter and sprinkle with pepper.
This is so good no gravy is required
with it. If, however, you have a lit
tle cold ham, chicken or any kind of
meat, put it through your meat chop
per (using the nut butter grinder—it
will come out in great flakes), pile
on top of the creamed potato, add a
little butter and pepper, and set in the
oven just a minute. This is delicious,
and with toast, graham gems, corn
meal muffins or fresh graham bread
and butter, apple sauce or baked ap
ples, coffee, gingerbread or dough
nuts, makes, to my mind, an ideal
breakfast.—Farm and Home.

Neglected Teeth.
It sounds rather far-fetched to talk
of the toothbrush as a preventive of
pneumonia, but since neglected teeth
m-ke a harboring place for the bac
teria of disease, and pneumonia germs
are often present in the mouth, even of
a healthy person it is very evident
that we cannot be too careful in dental
cleanliness. Ill-kept teeth used to be
regarded merely as a discomfort, or
a detriment to personal appearance.
We now realize that they endanger
the geneial health. Children are never
too young to be taught that both
good health and personal self-respect
demand a conscientious use of the

The owner of the trade-mark “Foot-Ease,'’

the decision of this suit upholds his trade
mark and renders all parties liable who
fraudulently attempt to profit by the ex

life, and I cannot express my gratitude to
you in words.
“Before I wrote to yon, telling von how I
felt, I had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money on medicines besides,
but it all failed to help me. My monthly pe
riods had ceased and I suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
bearing-down pains, and I was so weak I
could hardly keep around. As a last resort
I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and I am so
thankful that I did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free of all
charge, I became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you I would be
in my grave to-day.
“ 1 sincerely trust that this letter mav lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as I did.”
When women are troubled with ir
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacement or ulceration of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion, backache, flatulence, general de
bility, Indigestion or nervous prostra
tion, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham’s VegetableCompound atonce
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the world
has received such widespread and un
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
For 35 years Mrs. Pinkham. daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under
her direction, and since her decease,
been advising sick women free of
charge. Address, Lynn, Mass
