How Emer on Impressed the Guide.
A New York man fond of passing
much of his time in tho Adirondacks
tells Harper's Weekly a story with
reference to a visit made to that pic
turesque region by Ralph Waldo ,
Emerson. Acording to one of the old
Ujuides , who remembered the philoso
pher , Emerson had enjoyed his stay
ilmmensely. Once some one asked this
iguide , known as "Steve , " what sort
'of ' an impression the Sage of Concord
'Lad ' made upon the natives. "Well ,
sir , " obligingly responded the guide ,
"he was a gentleman , every inch of
him ; as nice a chap as you'd care to
Bee pleasant and kind. And he was a
scholar , too , allus figgerin' , studyin'
and wrltiu' , though we did think he'd
'had a better time a-huntin' an' a-fish-
ln' ; but , sir , I'm here to state that he
was the allfiredest , homeliest critter
for his age that ever came into these
woods. "
A Teacher's Testimony.
Ilinton , Ky. . Oct. 30. ( Special. ) It
has long been claimed that Diabetes is
incurable , but Mr. E. j. Thompson ,
teacher in the Ilinton school , has
pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr.
Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
n statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr. Thompson says :
"I was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
'treated ' by two of the best doctors in
'this ' part of the State. They claimed
,1 , had Diabetes and there was little
, to be done for me. Then I started
{ to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
'they ' did for me was wonderful. It is
certainly owing to Dodd's Kidney
( Pills that I am now enjoying good
ihealth. "
Many doctors still maintain that Dia-
ibetes is Incurable. But Diabetes is a
( kidney disease and the kidney disease
ithat Dodd's Kidney Pills will not euro
lias yet to be discovered.

An Exchange of Blood.
HE emigration of American farmers into Can-
jada is assuming proportions that are phenom
enal. A writer in Collier's Weekly gives figures
[ showing that it has reached the rate of 50,000
a year. And he gives reasons which it would
[ be well to think ahout in this country. The
I truth is , he says , that this hegira of good citi
zens is due to the frauds that have been practiced in regard
to our own public lands and that "the westward tide has
bumped into the unyielding front of ranch , timber land and
mining tract grabs , and so turns north into Canada ere
long in numbers of 100,000 a year birthright plundered
expatriates ! "
Wlien wo measure up these .10OCO good American fann
ers lost to us every year and the undesirable part of that
other host of foreign Immigrants dumped upon us in their
stead , the prospect is not cheering. The citizenship of
this country must deteriorate woefully if these currents
continue to increase in volume as they have increased in
the last decade. Meanwhile an amusing phase of the situa
tion lies in the fact that England is showing uneasiness
over the American conquest of Canada. The English
Economic Review recently had an article laying stress
upon the idea that Americans go into Canada thoroughly
imbued with the Monroe doctrine and determined to be
come the controlling political quantity.
Thia , of course , is merely a nightmare. Few American
farmers of the class that are going Into Canada know or
care anything about the Monroe doctrine. They are going
there to build homes , to develop the lands and to make
money. They have more concern for their crops than for
all the politics in the world. It is not a political conquest
of Canada by American farmers that England needs to
fear. It Is an industrial and commercial conquest. It Is
the United States which has real cause to feel alarm over
the condition. The wholesale exchange of good stock for
bad cannot fail to have evil effect upon us politically and
Industrially. And yet if the farmers who are going over
the line to the north will assimilate Canada as thoroughly
as we have thus far assimilated the foreign immigrants , we
may be happy under one flag. Chicago Journal.
The Business Woman's Problems.
HY the woman who works for a living is usu
ally more nervous and in less exuberant health
generally than the man who works , iias been
a matter for much discussion in clubs and
newspapers , and without any satisfactory ver
dict having been reached , but there are those
who do not find It liard to understand the
phenomenon. J
The man who works usually does one sort of work. He
Is , a physician , a lawyer , or a clerk , and when he has closed
ibis . office door for the day , if he is a sensible man , he puts
in the remainder of the time enjoying himself in whatever
way best suits him.
And the woman who works well , she is usually jack
of ' a dozen trades and master of none.
When she comes home from her office it occurs to her
that there are a half a dozen pairs of stockings to be
darned j and she sets to work forthwith on this nerve-
tearing work. When the stockings are finished , she is just
as likely as not to sew on the lace that the laundress has
ripped off a skirt , and she goes to 'bed with her head
aching and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that there are a dozen
little lace collars to be laundered , for they were much too
fragile to go in the general laundry , and that afternoon she
j gives over to the "doing-up" of these troublesome little
things , adding a couple of white belts , three pairs of white
gloves and a veil to the pile.
When she has finished with these , her back Is aching ,

i ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.
In one of the northern tier of coun
ties of Iowa dwells a politician whose
war record is one of his proudest pos
sessions. As a matter of history he
"volunteered" by means of the draft
near the close of the war , was as
signed to the cavalry , and saw no
more wearing service than policing
the Instruction camp ; but for purposes
of appealing to the soldier vote he has
become able to remember all that
might have happened to him if he had
"enlisted" earlier.
Being a candidate for office last fall ,
he turned a camp-fire into a political
rally and called upon his old comrades
for support.
"In those long watches of the
night , " he said , "when we lay shoul
der to shoulder beside those earlier
camp-fires along the Rappahannock ,
in those wearisome days when we
pursued the fleeing enemy across the
Potomac after Gettysburg "
"Hold on there Bill , " called a neigh
bor who knew him of old and had a
grudge. "Stick to what you know
about. You never saw either of them
rivers. "
The orator paused and looked down
at him. "Let me see , " he asked , cool
ly critical. "You were perhaps at
first Bull Run ? "
"No , I wa'n't , and you
"Then perhaps you were with
Meade ? Or Hancock ? "
"No , sir , Bill Bar "
"Ah I Then probably you went in
back of Vfcksburg , or tried the Chick-
asaw Bayou route ? "
"No , nor that neither. "
"Then , " thundered the orator ,
grandiloquently , "what right have
you to come here and Interrupt my
discourse with these men who were at
Bull Run , and were on the Rappahan
nock , and were at Gettysburg "
"When you and I were boys , back

She discovers the next afternoon that her hair needs
washing , and she spends a good two hours at this hard
Avork. She doc-sn't feel that she can afford the seventy-
five cents or $1 that a hair-dresser would charge her for
this service , and which the latter can do much better than
she can do it herself , and so she expends her strength that
is Avorth more to her than money , in half-doing this work.
She manicures her own nails Avhcn she should be taking
a nap , and makes shirt A\aists Avhen she should be exer
cising in the open. She makes caramels by way of fun ,
and fusses over them until she herself admits that she is
"half dead. "
She finds things for herself to do that really needn't be
done , and by the end of the summer she is a limp and
nerve-racked rag.
"Bnt 1 luu'e to keep nice , " she wails , "and I cannot af
ford to hire some one to do my mending and to groom my
hair and nails ! "
It is. indeed , a problem how the business woman shall
manage , but , nevertheless , these are some of the reasons
Avhy shevho works for a living is usually a thin and ane
mic person , who looks haggard and old before her time.

The Mrnd of the Petty Juror.
day science Avill have progressed far
enough in the investigation of the more com
plex mechanism of the animal body for an au-
thoritative answer to be giA'en to the question ,
Has a petty juror any reasoning powers ? At
the present time all jurors , by a legal fiction
handed doAA-n from the time of the Saxons ,
have the ability to comprehend simple statements of facts ,
but like most legal fictions , this one has been inconvenient
ly disproved. Only the other day , in the Superior Court , a
jury , after listening to the suit of a man who wanted the
rent for a hotel which he had leased to two women who
sold their interest to a third , awarded him precisely one
dollar In lieu of the $2,400 everybody admitted was coin
ing to him. The decision of this sapient company of cal
culators was that the ones whoold possession did not
OAVC any rent , the one that OAved the rent should not have
any possession , and that the owner should look to God and
not to his bond. A careful consideration of this judgment
proA-es at least one fact that has been bitterly disputed :

Why the Postal Deficit
HE deficit of $12,000,000 in the postal depart
ment for the fiscal year calls renewed attention
to the outrageous manner In which the govern
ment is held up by the railroads in the matter
of charges for the transportation of the mails.
It is well known that the general public has to
pay unfair prices , but the general shipping
public escapes comparatiA-'ely easy by the side of the gov
ernment. The government pays about eight times as much
pound for pound , as the express companies pay on the
same trains , and thfe government pays rent for the postal
cars , while the express companies pay nothing for the ex
press cars. But every effort to secure fair transportation
rates for the mails is effectually blocked by the railroads.
When it is remembered that the government pays the rail
roads upAvard to $35,000,000 a year for transporting the
mails the public may have a better idea of why the railroad
managers take so much interest in electing congressmen
and senators , and securing pliable officials in the various
departments of the "P. O. D. " The Commoner.
we Avere mighty well satisfied with
what we seen. But along come a
feller from St. Carles , and he says :
'Sho ! That ain't nothin' but a three-
horned steer they bought of Sile
Thompson , and painted stripes and
spots on. '
" 'See here , you' says the circus
man. 'Be you from Africa ? '
" 'No , I hain't , ' says the St. Charles
man.
" 'Did you ever see a three-horned
unicornian before ? ' says the circus
man.
" 'No , I never did. '
" 'Then what right have you got to
come here sayin' this beast ain't a
three-horned unicornian , like we say
it Is ? '
" 'Wai , ' says the ol' feller from St.
Charles , 'I ain't never seen no three-
horned unicornian before , but I seen
Sile Thompson's three horned steer

WOMEN IN NEW EMPLOYMENT.
Hired to Ran Elevators in Buildings
Devoted to Female Interests.
Women always seem to be able to
establish some kind of new work. Now
Boston has in several buildings de
voted to women's interests , or patron
ized by women , girls employed to run
the elevators. The idea was introduced
by the Women's Educational and In
dustrial Union , and the Young Wom
en's Christian Association soon fol-
loAved.
"Except for one Janitor , " said the
superintendent of the latter institu
tion , "Ave are all women around here ,
and to have two or three boys about
to run the elevator was an unmitigated
nuisance. So we discharged the boys
and hired the girls. Since then we
have been much more comfortable. "
The NOAV England Hospital for Wom
en in Roxbury has also introduced ele
vator girls , and some of the millinery
and women's furnishing goods stores
in Boston are taking up the idea.
The girls are all doing the work to
the complete satisfaction of their em
ployers and have at the same time
suggested a solution for the perplexing
question of what to do Avith a girl
who has to earn money at an early
age. She can run an elevator until
she Is old enough or has acquired the
necessary'training for something bet
ter. Formerly she might have been a
cash girl , but noAV A'arious mechanical
deA-ices are taking the place of tha
cash girl and leaving her without em
ployment. Several of the girls em
ployed as elevator girls in the build-
Ings just mentioned are studying for
better positions , and one is glad to
earn $3 a week while her eyes are
recovering from the strain of her high
school course.
To run an. eleA-ator is not difficult
work , but requires careful attention i
to business. For this reason , accord
ing to the testimony of their employ
ers , girls can do it better than boys.
They are more conscientious and trust
worthy. The girls seem to enjoy the
work , and though the hours are long
the work is not tiring. At the Young
Women's Christian Association the
elevator girl goes on duty at 7 o'clock
and works till 12. Then she has two
hours' rest. In the afternoon she
works from 2 o'clock until 5 , when she
has an intermission of half an hour ,
resuming work at 5:30 o'clock and con
tinuing till 7.
Origin of "Hamfatter. "
A correspondent of the New York
Sun gives the following account of the
origin of the word "hamfatter" a
term of derision applied to actors :
"Years ago , before cold cream became
a feature of the make-up box , actors
used a preparation of ham fat for re
moving the crude grease paint of their ;
times. The less prosperous ones , for
the sake of economy , contented them-
selves with the fat side of a ham skin ,
which they carried about and used
just as a wood cutter does in , greasing
o
his saw. This practice had a disas
trous effect on the complexion , and E
caused Thespians to be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored au-
pearance of their faces. ' Hence the ir
term 'hamfatter. ' " AY

BURGLARS ROB BANK.
Blow Safe in Ridgeville , Tnd. , Institu

Between 1 and 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning seven robbers blew the safe
in the Riclgeville , Ind. , State bank and
escaped with about $ (5,000. ( The explo
sion aroused Cashier Branson , who hur
ried to the bank in time to receive a
bullet in the ankle. Before going to the
bank the robbers met the town watch

The wounded cashier made his way to
the home of the bank president , M. P.

alarm. Meanwhile the burglars had suc
ceeded in forcing the doors of the safe
and by the time the citizens were arous

plunder. All tho electric lights in town

were turned on and citizens attempted to
surround tho robbers.
But the burglars did not fear capture.
For more than an hour the town was
practically at the mercy of the gang of

their time in leaving the scene of the
crime. The bank's loss of $6,000 is cov

To Suffer from Constipation , Bowel
and Stomach Trouble.
Q. What Is the beginning of sickness
A. Constipation.
Q. What Is Constipation ?
A. Failure of the bowels to carrv off the
waste matter which lies In the alimentary ,
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tlre system. Eventually the results ara
death , under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis , stomach and bowel trou
ble , at the present time.
Q. What causes Constipation ?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of Na
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Exces
sive brain work. Mental emotion and Im
proper diet.
Q. What are the results of neglected
Constipation ?
A. Constipation causes more suffering *
than any other disease. It causes rheuma
tism , colds , fevers , stomach , bowel , kidney ,
lung and heart troubles , etc. It is the ono
disease that starts all others. Indigestion ,
dyspepsia , diarrhea , loss of sleep and
strength are Its symptoms piles , appendi
citis , and fistula , are caused by Constipa
tion. Its consequences are known to all
physicians , but few sufferers realize their
condition until It is too late. Women be
come confirmed Invalids as a result of Con
stipation.
Q. Do physicians recognize this ?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you Is "Are you Constipated ? ' Tnt
Is the secret.
Q. Can It be cured ?
A. Yes , with proper treatment. The
common error Js to resort to physics , such
as pills , salts , mineral water , castor oil.
injections , etc. , every one of which Is In
jurious. They weaken and Increase tha
malady. You know this by your own ex
