HE MUSI HEARKEN
President Rooeevelt has noted with
?ommendabla purpoae and dignity In
laauing the request through hla cab
inet, that federal employeea under
their jurla ilction refrain from aotlvlty
with the object of the renomination of
Preeident Roosevelt, but tbisooaree
la not neceassrlly to be taken ae e def
inite refusal, In a new form, of a third
term. It ia generally recognised by the
nation that President Roosevelt la not
desirous of renomination aod that all
hla utterances aa to hla dlalnclinatlon
for the office again were mad?ln abso
lute good faith. Therefore it would be
very unseemlng for the preeldent to
permit, with knowledge of the circum
atanoea, any active promotion of the
third-term agitation on the part of
fsderal officials end employee, without
earnestly protesting against such a
course. The president baa acted with
his usual sincerity and dignity In dis
countenancing such efforts. But thla
does not speak the president'! final
wotd aa to the overwhelming demand
of the republican party and the desires
of the people. The third term Is rapid
ly assuming the phase of a popular
demand by the whole people and
to such a voice the president muit
hearken.
From Neb. -ask a has come one of those
rare truths which slam the people io the
eye with the convincing force of a ripe
tomato. Mr. Bryan has given it out
that he cannot fail of election if suffici
ent votes are mustered by the Demo
cratic party.
JUSTICE TO THE BRITON
Although against It, one must be fair
In this Irritating matter of internation
al marriages and atop for a moment in
our genial employment of ?]ang?whang
in? every Englishman who links op
I with an American girl and study the
question judicially, parceling out blame
| where It belong* aod fifing the glad
hand of endorsement to the fellows who
desert* it.
Just because a man's a foreigner
there is no reason to oondemn bits.
Approval, too, is equally illogical on
the same grounds. The bone and
sinew of his nature are of far more
consequence than the geography of
him.
Here, for example, is the muddled
case of the marriage of Nathalie
Schenek and Captsln Olen Collins.
The? were wedded a short time ago and
now the wife has divorced herself from
him. Immediately we all jnmp at the
conc'uslon that the man is at fault just
because he happens to hare a birth
place remote from ours. To a man up
a tree it looks as if both parties were
to blama, unchlvalric and unpatriotic
as such a viewpoint must seem on the
surface.
Mis* Schenck was a Newport belle.
She occupied that position more by her
good look* and family connection? than
her money. She was a Little Sister of
the Rich. Captain Collin* 1* the *on of
the Captain Co'.llna of the "Black
Watch" regiment fame. He was a
brave soldier himself *nd had a bril
liant record In the Soudan and Boer
war*. Moreover, he was the pet of
London social circles, He was a beau
sabreur of the Ouida type.
Unfortunately, he had no money.
Unfortunately, as has been pointed out,
Miss Schenck was practically a penni
less girl. Each, however, thought the
other was rich. They started out their
wedded life in a brave way. A swag
ger wedding; an extravagant honey
moon tour. Then the awakening came
The cat was out of the bag and the
big was empty. So Mrs. Collins went
home to ber mother and In due time for
Newport? which is u quick aa the han
dle of the divorce maohine can be
turned? she wss legally separated from
the soldier msn.
All tbls HMDs rather sordid. The
old saw of the pit (hat was dug for the
aetgbbor comes to mtcd at eaee. But
there's a hopeful touch to it, after all,
and that Ilea In the oonduot of Captain
Collins. He hss (font to work like a
man. He hat taken off his uniform
and put on overalls His haods will
grow oslloused and hU back ourved, for
he Is doing hard ' day work" at a big
pottery In Boa ton.
He's begun at the bottom and Is shov
eling clay and handllog the heavy
moulds in which cooorete blocks for
buildings are made. He Is going to
?tiok at the business, learn it la all its
phases, and then bis father, who's a
man of property, will buv him an inter
est.
Captain Collins ma; have been a fop
before and a bit of a fool, and perhaps
something of an adventurer, thus to
seek a rich wife as a matter of course,
but he's atooing for Call this now by
being a man.
And it's worth ail the humiliation
and the sorrow of an episode like his
just to find himself at last.
ELASTIC MONET
Thursday's dispatches contain the In
formation that tinkering with the cur
rency will be started before the Holi
day adjournment of congress Is made.
In all serious consideration of the many
suggestions which are certain to be
made when coogress takes up the ques
tion of currency reform, it mmt be re
membered that an elastic money sys
tem, to be safe or useful, must contraot
a< easily as it expands. It must show
Its elasticity in both directions.
No change In the way of easier or
more copious additions to the slock of
currency will do the Amerlean people
any real go id uolen? it guards carefully
against Inflation when things are boom
ing, and there is more need of reetrict
log busiaen yentures than stimulating
already dangerous activity. The sup
ply of money which may be m?de avail
able in time of urgent demand and
plain necessity must be so weighted
that It oaonot be kept in circulation
profitably under aoj otbtr circum
stances. . It mutt b? taxed out of use or
otherwise driven into retirement when
it li not Tequlred, except to facilitate
speculation and the Inflation of business
balloons.
To create a great addition to the
money stock of the country, without
such precautions, would make the com
mercial and financial situation merely
one of chronic inflation, It wou'd ba
stimulation which could end only in
disaster.
Profeuor Earl N. Barnes, before the
Mother's Congress, of New Jersey, said
that the crimes of the country are com
mitted by unmarried men. The chron
ic bachelor would prefer -tt criminal
career to one of matrimony.
The Seattle pipers relate that trail
ing hats are all the fashion for women
down there, which brings to mind that
if "Her golden hair was hanging down
her btick" it certainly would be trailing
some.
A former Rough Rider has been
made an Indinn agent in Oklahoma. If
be couldn't chisel out a better job than
this he must have been a mighty poor
rjugh rider.
Side by side they cooing sat
And stroked each other's curls;
But stupid seemed their love, and flat,
Because they both were girls.
?Town Topic*.
The premium on currency is disap
pearing, bnt then most of us failed to
have anything but a distant Interest in
the premium from the start.
"Augustus never s?ys a worJI"
Indignantly said Hose.
?'Well, that Is just his way," said Kate,
?'Of telling all he Icnowi.'*

"THE WOMAN IN THE RAIN."
This narrow world with a low-hung sky,
Like a little lent around it,
Too cramped I find for a home of mine,
Too puny have I found it!
Sinoe I waa ever & vagabond,
A vagrant-fool and rover,
O, jrive the width of the skies to roam
Wheo-mj earthly days are over!
Once more where, stars for the mile
stones stand
And the unresting worlds walk my
way,
Out, out where a man has elbow room
To travel an open highway!
And when the journey is done God
grant
That one lone inn I find me,
Where I may enter and greet? but Her,
And close the dcor behind me!

The
General "Demand
of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known 1o them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs anil
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ? manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

time that I had suffered from a weak
ened aud disorded condition pf the kid

despite the numerous remedies I tried.
The kidneys' secretions were very Ir
regular and annoying and I was forced
to do something to find relief. I was
urged to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I
did bo. They completely banished
every slpn ot the trouble, lean honestly
say that I have rot felt a pain in my
