Alfonso may visit South America.
Is that a sign the baby is crying
nights?
Social maneuvers are sometimes im-
portant in army life as well as mili-
tary tactics.
A Massachusetts man has eloped
■with his mother-in-law. Or has been
eloped with by, more probably.
Germany is rapidly catching up.
They have had over 1,500 automobile
accidents over there during the past
six months.
No more injunction can stop a free
American from remarking that the
suit against the snuff trust is nothing
to be sneezed at.
It was only right that the New York
policeman who is worth only $500,000
should retire from the force and give
others a chance.
A Massachusetts man started on his
wedding trip without knowing where
he was going to land. That is the
way most men start when they get
married.
Emperor William and his partner
were beaten by two girls in a recent
game of tennis. Doesn't this come
dangerously near putting William in
the mollycoddle class?
The man who has been following
Dr. Wiley's advice about swallowing
his food without chewing is under-
stood now to be taking indigestion
tablets in the same manner.
Announcement that a theatrical
trust has been formed which covers
the principal cities of the world
shows that the combination move-
ment has reached a new stage of de-
velopment.
A New Jersey horticulturist claims
to have produced a strawberry near-
ly as large as a potato. He might
have been a little more explicit a\id
described it as being almost as large
as a lump of coal.
Goat lymph may cure locomotor
ataxia, as the medical department of
the state university hopes it will, re-
marks the Detroit Free Press, but
there should be a lot of powerful
motor in mule lymph.
We discover the age of a horse, if
we are wise in such things, by look-
ing at his teeth, but who is wise
enough to fix the price of a dental bill
by looking at the patches on the
molars of a fair patient?
Should he enter the race for the
mean man championship of the earth,
the Arkansas - undertaker who has a
habit of stealing the shrouds from
corpses that he meets in the line of
business would win easily.
A Tribune correspodent has discov-
ered that housework is the most at-
tractive employment for women, but
that, nevertheless, they shun it. Not
being a woman, the correspondent
should know. A committee of hired
girls might view him carelessly and
decide that shoveling sand was a
more congenial occupation than writ-
ing, but that would not drive him to
manual labor.
The first honorary degree of doctor
of medicine which Oxford university
has ever granted has just been con-
ferred upon a man who had looked for-
ward to the practice of medicine in
London. He gave up the idea years
ago to devote his knowledge and his
life to the poor fisherfolk of Labrador.
The recipient of the degree is Dr.
Wilfred T. Grenfell, and the degree
itself is, with peculiar significance in
this case, "honoris oauea."
It is almost an axiom that no strike
can succeed which has not public sym-
pathy on its side. The leaders of two
recent strikes in New York must have
forgotten this, for it is hard for the
public to sympathize with men who
let the garbage of a great city rot in
the streets and brfed disease, or with
men who prevent the sufferers in the
tenement-houses from getting ice.
The wise leader is the one who first
makes sure that he has a just cause,
and then lets the public know all
about it.

Women Struggle Hopelessly Along,
Suffering Backache, Dizzy Spells,
Languor, Etc.
Women have so much to go through
in life that it's a pity there is so much
suffering from back-
ache and other com-
mon curable kidney
ills. If you suffer so,
profit by this wom-
an's example: Mrs.
Martin Douglass, 52
Cedar St., Kingston,
N. Y., says: "I had a
lame, aching back,
'f dizzy spells, head-
aches, and a feeling of languor. Part
of the time I could not attend to my
work and irregularity of the kidney
secretions was annoying. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills brought me prompt relief."

SKIN ERUPTION CURED.
Was So Sore, Irritating and Painful
That Little Sufferer Coul<* Not Sleep
—Scratched Constantly^
Cuticura's Efficacy Cleariy Proven.
"When about two and a hall years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. It
began in October; the first I noticed
was a little red surface and a constant
desire on her part to scratch ber Hmbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. I had two doctors treat her,
but she grew worse under their treat-
ment Then I bought the Guticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely welL
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.

. X Too Much for His Mind.
"My first impulses," wailed the Sad-
Eyed Individual, "are invariably good
In fact, I think that I may venture,
without fear of undue exaggeration, to
say that they are very good. But I
never act on them! I always act cm
second thoughts. This trait in my char-
acter has ruined my career, because
my second thoughts are always bad!
In fact, I think I may say, without fear
of misrepresentation, that they're
punk."
"Well," suggested he who was lis-
tening, "why don't you wait until
third thoughts, and act on them?"
Mournfully, despondently, the Sad-
Eyed Individual shook his head.
"My deaE sir," he groaned, "I never
had three successive thoughts about
anything in my life!"
Anger Shrinks Vitality.
Dr. Maurice de Fleury, a distin-
guished Frenchman, advances the the-
ory that every time one becomes an-
gry his vitality shrinks. After even
the most artfully suppressed signs of
bad temper the vitality becomes small-
er and smaller, until finally nothing is
left Anger is a certain kind of ce-
rebral excitement, explains Dr. do
Fleury. The hyperasthenic subject is
always on its verge, while the neuras-
thenic becomes infuriated only by a
sudden bound of reaction excited from
without But at that moment when
they are let loose the two are alike,
save that the strong man is a blinder
brute, while the weak man is some-
what of an actor and seems to aim at
effect.
JOY WORK
And the Other Kinif.
Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour*, and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love of
their work.
It is a fact that one's food has much
