SMALL THING HE FORGOT.
May Have Accounted for His Proposal
Being Turned Down.
Senator Beveridge described, at a
dinner, an absent-minded farmer.
"The man was so absent-minded,”
he said, "that he couldn't open his
mouth without making an arrant ass
of himself.
“Once he courted a young woman.
His suit looked promising for a time.
Then, with a sorrowful visage, he
ceased his courtship.
“ 'Yet she seemed infatuated with
you, Jabez,' said I, one day when he
came to me for sympathy.
“ ‘She were, too,’ Jabez agreed.
“ ‘Well, what could have been the
trouble?’
“ ‘Dunno,’ said he. He filled hia
pipe. ‘Dunno; but when I perposed,
she turned me down cold.’
“ ‘Perhaps your proposal wasn't ard
ent enough?’ I suggested.
“ ‘Oh, it was fiery,’ said Jabez. ‘Hot
as pepper. 1 told her she was the
only woman I’d ever loved, ever
looked at. ever thought of, or—’
“ ‘But, said I. ‘you forgot, then, you
were a widower.’
“ ‘Jingo,’ said Jabez, ‘so I did.’ ”
DOCTOR SAID “USE CUTICURA"
In Bad Case of Eczema on Child—
Disease Had Reached a Fearful
State—His Order Resulted
in Complete Cure.
"When I was small I was troubled
with eczema for about three months.
It was all over my face and covered
nearly all of my head. It reached
such a state that it was just a large
scab all over, and the pain and itching
were terrible. I doctored with an able
physician for some time and was then
advised by him to use the Cuticura
Remedies which I did and I was en
tirely cured. I have not been bothered
with it since. I used Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment but do not
know exactly how much was used to
complete the cure. I can safely say
that Cuticura did a lot for me. Miss
Anabel Wilson, North Branch, Mich.,

The Word of Excuse.
Ascum—I've often wondered what a
diplomat really means when he speaks
of expediency.
Wise—Usually it means that his di
plomacy has failed.

A Remarkable Recovery.

na a few months ago, when my health
and strength were all gone, and I was
nothing but a nervous wreck, could
not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt
no desire to live. Peruna made me look
at life in a different light, as I began to
regain my lost strength.

ST. LOUIS, MO.
BitYAN ON THE FIRST BALLOT
So Says Mayor Dahlman of Omaha
and All Bryan Men Share His
Confidence.
Denver.—The convention throngs
were pouring into the city by every
train Sunday. It was a noisy, boister
ous Sunday, with bands escorting ar
riving delegations through the streets,
with steadily swelling crowds in the
hotel lobbies, and with leaders and
delegates button-holing the new arriv
als and bolding private conferences
on candidates and measures. The
weather was almost perfect, warm,
but not unbearable, with a clear sky
and a brisk mountain air, just the sort
of weather to bring comfort to a con
vention.
Many of the delegates embraced the
opportunity of a Sunday lull for a trip
to thti nearby Rockies; others en
joyed the more exciting diversion of
tournaments, where bronchoHmsters
presented a picture of real Western
life. At night the crowds turned to
the splendid Auditorium, where the
convention will be held. The vast am
phitheater was lighted and open to the
public for the first time for a band
concert and the brilliant scene with
in the enclosure, hung with flags and
packed to its full capacity, suggest
ed the throngs which will soon gather
for the convention struggles. A unique
feature of the evening was the ex
perience of Charles A. Towne of New
ork, one of the leading vice presiden
tial candidates, in the pulpit of the
People’s tabernacle. While these out
ward evidences of activity have been
going on, the leaders, who are shap
ing the affairs of the coming gather
ing. have been holding frequent meet
ings in the upper chambers of the ho
tels, arranging their final plans.
The chief interest of the day was
centered in the movement of the “al
lies” to galvanize the opposition to
Bryan into something like a definite
and formidable movement. But their
best efforts, begun Saturday, have nor
been entrely successful. Chief Mur
phy of Tammany, on whom the hopes
of the “allies” have been centered,
will give no sign committing his
forces against Bryan. He is «r:>
shrewd a politician for that. Tha 1--0
seems settling toward Bryan.
The Bryan managers have at no
time shown any nervousness over the
renewed activities of the “allies,” and
Sunday, Mayor Dahlman of Omaha,
one of the Bryan chiefs, made a very
definite statement showing the ex
pectations of the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follows:
“Mr. Bryan will be nominated on
the first ballot.
“The Bryan forces now control 36
delegations and will have at least that
many members of the Commttee on
Resolutions and probably more.
“The platform adopted will be in
accordance with Mr. Bryan's personal
views and will express his well-known
ideas on all of the important politi
cal issues.
“Governor Charles X. Haskell of Ok
lahoma is now regarded as the lead
ing candidate for the chairmanship
of the Committee on Resolutions, but
there are many other prominent men
beng mentioned for the place. It is
needless to say that a loyal Bryan
man will be chosen.
“The vice presidential question may
be described as being ‘in the air.’ If
the men who call themselves the old
guard can unite on a strong Eastern
Democrat, the Bryan men will not
show curiosity as to the attitude of
their candidate toward .Mr. Bryan in
1S06 and 1900. If the Eastern Demo
crats fail to get together on a man,
we will make a selection from a hun
dred available candidates, any of
whom would be satisfactory to Mr.
Bryan.”
Hope for Bishop Potter.
Cooperstown, X’. Y.—-With each suc
ceeding hour, hope brightens for the
recovery of Bishop Potter, who is se
riously ill here from a complication of
stomach and liver troubles. His phy
sicians Sunday night believed that his
improved‘condition warrants a decid
ed hope for a favorable outcome of the
case.
The bishop made gains Saturday
night and showed further improve
ment Sunday.
Sunday’s morning bulletin on the
condition of Bishop Potter was as fol
lows:
“The improvement in Bishop Pot
ter’s condtion continues. Respira
tion, 28; pulse, 108; temperature, 99.
He has had a pretty comfortable
night and is resting quietly at the
present time, and the indications point
to still more improvement. Dr. Bas
sett’s hearty co-operation in carry
ing out the treatment has been most
valuable and at my suggestion Sat
urday afternoon. Dr. Henry Hun of
Albany came in consultation, and, ap
proving the treatment in every par
ticular, expressed a decided favorable
issue of the case.

Penny a Word Cables.
Dondon.—John Henniker Heaton,
who was the first to announce the
conclusion of a penny postal arrange
ment between Great Britain and the
United State made a significant state
ment at the Fourth of July dinner of
the American society, with respect
to a penny a word cable rate across
the Atlantic. He said: “We will
shortly have a panny a word cable
gram. I am confident that with the
assistance of great electricians whom
we have interested in the matter, this
soon will be accomplished.”'
Save the Babies.
INFANT MOKTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children horn in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: “I have prescribed your Castorla
in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy.”
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I have prescribed your Cas.
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients.”
Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Cas
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm.”
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: “Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castorla for infantile stomach disorders, I most
heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children.”
Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: ‘Tour Castorla is an ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castorla is an
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children.”
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castorla holds the
esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chil
dren. In fact, it is.the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.”
Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: “Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency
and merits.”
Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children's disorders, while the easo with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.”
