Dynamiter. Himself a Married Man,
Knew What Awaited Forgetful
Husband.
The business man was sitting In his
office, thinking of starting for home,
when a suspicious looking person
came in with a leather bag in his
hand..
"If you don't give me $25," said the
visitor, coming at once to the point,
"I will drop this on the floor."
The business man was cool. "What
is in it?" he asked.
Dynamite," was the brief reply.
"What will it do if you drop it?"
"Blow you up."
"Drop it!" was the instant com
mand. "My-wife told me when I left
heme this morning to be sure and
send up a bag of flour, and I forgot
it. I guess it will take just about as
prepare me for the blowing up I'll get
when she sees me!" -a
He threw himself back in his chair
and waited for the explosion, but it
did not come. L
"I'm a married man myself," said
the dynamiter, and quietly slipped out.

History of Red Cross Seal.
"Charity stamps," first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis
society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of a stamp,
for the purpose of getting revenue to)
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $3,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross con
ducted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale $135,-'
000 was realized for the anti-tuberculosis
movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 wasf rea
lized from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
Turberculosis From Red Cross Seals
hi 1910."
Tit for Tat.
Lloyd C. Griscom, In an Interview
in New York, said of party dissen
sions: .
"They are animated by a nasty spir
it, a tit-for-tat spirit; and they go
from bad to worse.
"It's like the case of the engaged
couple at the seaside dance. The
young man, a little jealous, said cold
ly to his fiancee at supper:
'"Let me see was it you I kissed
In the conservatory?"
"'Abdut what time?' the young girl
answered, with a little laugh."
Like the Other Kind.
It was in a "down east" village that
the young man met his sweetheart, a
charming country beauty. When he
returned to the city he sent her a jar
of cold cream to keep her cheeks as
'resh as the budding rose.
On his next visit he asked her how
she liked His little gift.
"The taste was very nice," she
said, with a rather sickly smile, "hut
I think that I like the. other kind of
cream best, dear." Lippincott's.

EXPENSE OF THE CANAL
The Total Appropriations for Canal
Work to Date Amount to
About $250,000,000.
Beverly, Mass. President Taft will
sail for the Isthmus of Panama on
November 10 from Charleston, S. C.
He will . make the trip on the ar
mored cruiser North Carolina, and
will be conveyed by the sister ship,
the Montana. The President will be
gone about twelve days. The North
Carolina and Montana can make the
journey in each direction in four
days. This will give Mr. Taft about
four days on the isthmus.
The President had practically giv
en up all idea of visiting the canal
this year until Col. George W. Goe
thals, chief engineer of the canal, vis
ited him. At the end of the visit
Mr. Taft had been convinced that the
problems, confronting the officials at
Panama require his presence on the
isthmus.
Although his visit will be a flying
one, the President expects to be able
to secure first-hand information re
garding a number . of problems of
which he will call upon congress to
deal at its session. Some of the prob
lems to be dealt with in the immedi
ate future are as follows:
The extent and character of the for
tifications, the fixing of tolls for the
passage of vessels through the canal,
a proposed increase in wages, the fu
ture management of the Panama rail
road, the form of permanent govern
ment for the Canal Zone 'and the reg
ulation of the sale of coal at the ter
minus points.
The date for opening the Panama
canal has been set for January 11,
1915. President Taft and Colonel
Goethals believe it will be .completed
and open long before that'time.
Washington. It is estimated that
$47,920,848 will be required to con
tinue the' construction of the Panama
canal during the fiscal year
The principal items are ?19,211,3Cf6
for skilled and unskilled labor and
$19,186,751 for the purchase and de
livery of material and supplies.
An estimate of $1,000,000 is submit
ted for the re-location of the Panama
railroad. The total appropriations on
account of the canal to date are $248,-
002,668. Of that amount $40,000,000
wa spaid for the Frencn rights . and
$10,00u,000 to Panama.
Steady progress in the construction
of the canal is shown by the month
ly report of Chief Engineer Goethals
to the isthmian canal commission.
SUNDAY FUNERALS TABOOED.
Cemetery Guardians' Are Not Willing
to Wprk on Sunday.
Chattanooga, Tenn. The twenty
fourth annual convention of the Amer
ican Association of Cemetery Superin
tendents closed. The convention
passed a resolution agreeing to use
their earnest efforts to abolish Sun
day funerals ' except where the na
ture of the disease of the corpse ren
dered immediate interment necessa
ry. The committee on location rec
ommended that Philadelphia be the
scene of the next convention and the
Quaker City was unanimously agreed
upon for the convention .of 1911.
L. & N. Employees Receive Increase.
Louisville; Ky. B. M. Starks, gen
eral manager of the Louisville and
Nashvile railroad, and representatives
of the passenger and trainmen of that
road, reached an agreement whereby
the men are to receive ah increase in
wages of from 10 to 1? 1-2 per cent.,

flagmen, baggagemasters and porters
will benefit by the increase.
Decrease in Army Desertions.
Washington. Desertions from the
army are not so frequent now as in
the past. During the fiscal year just
ended there was a decrease of 23 per
cent, in the number of desertions
from the previous year., ;
Berry to Mark Confederate Graves.
Washington. The appointment of
former Senator James H. Berry as
commissioner to superintend the
marking of the graves of Confederate
soldiers who died in Northern prisons
during the war is greeted with ex
pressions of gratification in Washing
ton. The late Gen. William C. Oates of
Alabama, whom he succeeded, had ac
complished a great deal toward iden
tifying and having marked the graves
of the Confederate soldiers, who died
far from their homes.
, New Cotton Bills Popular.
New Orleans. After a month of ac
tual use new certificate - cotton bills
of lading are becoming popular,, ac
cording to officials of railroad and
steamship lines who have put the cer
tificate plan into effect here. Practi
cally every Southern railroad adopted

European bankers have refused to ac

DAMAGE BY BOLL WEEVIL
Moderate Deterioration In Condition
of the Cotton Crop Shown by Re
port of the Corerspondents.
New Orleans. Based on reports
from correspondents throughout the
cotion belt, the Times-Democrat
makes the following report of cot
ton crop conditions:
Taking the belt as a whole, a mod
erate deterioration has occurred. The
boll weevil has done extensive dam
ago in parts of Mississippi, Louisia
na and Arkansas, and there are com
plaints of other insects in some sec
tions. The -ultimate outcome is still large
ly dependent upon the date of killing
frost. Farmers seem disposed to sell
enough to pay their debts and hold
the remainder.
CAUSE OF CIVIL WAR.
General Grosvenor Says War Was the
Fault of the Constitution.
Chattanooga, Tenn. Gen. Charles
H. Grosvenor of Ohio delivered the
annual oration before the Society of
the Army of the Cumberland here.
The general told his hearers it was
high time to quit waving the "bloody
shirt;" that the war is over, and that
we are all Americans now. The South
ern soldier fought for the principle
he thought to be right, said the speak
er, and he did the best he could. In
studying the history of the Civil war
one should not stop at Appomattox, he
said, but should follow the Southern
soldier as he builded up a nation from
desolation and ruin.
"An indissoluble union of indissol
uble states," was the omission from
the constitution of the .United States
which caused the war of the sixties,
was the- declaration of General Grosvenor.

All Will Depend on How He Stands
the Work in December.
Trenton, S. C "If my health con
tinues to improve, I expect to be a
candidate for the United States sen
ate in 1912, otherwise not. All will
depend on how I stand the work in
Washington when I go there in De
cember." .
This statement by United States

sion of his present term in the senate.

Ex-Senator Garciner Alleged to Have
Offered $25,000 Bribe.
New York. Former State Senator
Frank J. Gardner of Brooklyn was
indicted as a briber by the New York
grand jury. The indictment was re
turned after ex-Senator Foelker,

sent at once to Scranton, where Gard
ner is held in $10,000 bond as a fu

New York City. The entire Fifth
avenue establishment of the five Du
veen brothers, known the world over
as dealers in rare art objects and an
tiques, was seized by Federal officers
and Benjamin J. .Duveen, the only
members of the firm in the city, was

BANKERS KNEW THEIR MAN

In His Customary Condition, and No
Further Identification j Was
Necessary.
One day a big city bank received
the following message from1 one of its
country correspondents: "Pay $25 to
John Smith who will call today." The
cashier's 'curiosity became suspicion
when a cabman assisted into the bank
a drunken "fare" who shouted that he
was John Smith and wanted some
money. Two clerks pushed, pulled
and piloted the boisterous individual
into a private room away from the
sight and hearing of regular depos
itors. The cashier wired the country
bank:
"Man claiming to he John Smith is
here. Highly intoxicated. I Shall we
await identification?" . !
The answer read: "Identification

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can .be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man ''doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond'
ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce a Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures diseases ot the stomach and other,
organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood.
