fast gait of that town.

has not taken down his lightning

Senator Spoonf.r, of Wiscon
sin, has resigned, but he is certain

Now that Congressman Moon,
of Tennessee, is after the minority
leadership, it looks as if John
Sharp Williams has set.
Dr. Wli.l'Y says whisky will

Senator Bailey says he ad
vised the oil companies to keep

The session of Congress w Inch
lios just closed was the second
and "short session" of the 1-ilty-ninth
Congress, beginning on the
first Monday in December and
ending by law March 4th. There
were ninty days, including Sun
days and the holidays, and Presi
dent Roosevelt sent during that
time just forty messages to Con
gress. THE Jamestown Lxposition au
thorities have sent a formal request
accompanied by an imposing peti
tion cl" Tidewater irinia, Uh tb.c
Liberty Bell to be taken to the 1 ex
position which opens next month.
The Philadelphia Press in urging
that the bell be sent to the exposi
tion says:
"The Liberty Bell has been on
several exposition trips, and the
claim for it in this instance is
quite as good as any that has pre
ceded it. In some respects, in
fact, it is much stronger. If the
Bell goes to this Exposition it will
be located in the Pennsylania State
building, which is a replica of In
dependence Hall. On every one
of its trips it has been an impres
sive object lesson that will live in
the memory as long as life lasts.
Ten thousand school children, very
few of whom would ever see it
anywhere else, ask to have it sent
to the Exposition, and and that is
an appeal Councils " hardly resist."

This man bought a supply of tobacco with
out acquainting himself with the distinctive taste
of SCHNAPPS Tobacco, which has the cheering
qualities that gratify his desire to chew, and at
less expense than cheap tobacco.
SCHNAPPS lias been advertised in this
paper so that every chewcr has had an
opportunity to get acquainted with the
facts and know that drills are not used
to produce the cheering quality found in
the famous Piedmont country flue-cured
tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he
ought to chew. Still there are chewers
who accept other and cheaper tobaccos
that do not give the same pleasure.
Some day they'll get a taste of the real
Schnapps they'll realize what enjoyment
they've missed bynot getting SCHNAPPS
long ago then they'll feel like kicking
themselves.
SCHNAPPS 13 sold everywhere in 5
cent cuts, and 10 and IS cent plugs. Be
sure you get the genuine.
