D you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give tempo-
rary relief and their reaction is
harmful and sometimes more annoy-
ing than constipation They in no
way effect a cure and their tendency
is to weaken the already weak or-
gans with which they come in con-
tact.
We honestly believe that we have
the- best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we hell it on the positive guar-

Mldjiato flie Street.
Judge J. R. liudsoiTornir-ttretke-
eourt had a new experience while
the justice court was In session last
Saturday afternoon. A negro had
been arrested, giving-bis name as
John Davis, on a charge of vagrancy.
Judge Hudson was questioning him
concerning the charge and the two
were the only ones present. Sud-
denly the negro noticed an open win-
dow and chose that as‘an avenue of
escape. He crawled out of the win-
dow to the tin awning on the east
side of the room and slbf off into the
street. It seems that the negro hit
the ground running in an effort to
make his escape. He ran north In
Crockett street and was soon par-
aded by officers. He was overtaken
at the Fred Douglass school building
and brought hack to the justice
court. Judge Hudson ordered that
he be placed in jail and allowed to
see or talk to no one until Monday.

Fame and the Editor.
Fame, so difficult a iwssosslon lo oh
tain, lies oftencr than one usually
thinks in the power of the press.
Oscar Browning in Ills Interesting
•‘Memories of Sixty Years" tells how
Fox, tlieu editor of ilie Monthly lie
pository. settled the fate of Robert
Browning's "Pauline" when it lirst up
pea red by the mere word "balderdash
The explanation given Is that "a sin
gle line was required to complete tin
page, and the editor, taking up tin
first book on which^te could lay Iti -
baud and thinking it insignificant and
pretentious, described It as I have stal
ed above,"
Oscar Browning declares that tin

publlc recognition had been delayed

is on trial today before Judge B. L.
Jones.
Eighteen Months of Demoralization
Due to Continued Bad Weather
Caused by Thinning of Tree*,
Frenchman Assert*—Columbia Pro-
fessor Think* Theory Farfetched.
It is a long way from America to
central Europe, yet Professor Camille
Flauunarion, the French astronomer,
does not hesitate to say that the at>
normal weather conditions afflicting
the old continent for almost two years
are due In great measure to the winds
that blow from our shore.
The first three days of this year
gins wnnr ftnifclean* a taste of what
England. France. Italy, Germany,
Spain and Switzerland have been un-
dergnlpg ,for over eighteen months.
Summer was hardly experienced even
as fur south as Italy and the Itivlcra
Thunder was in the air. and scarcely
a day passed without a storm, some
times of mi hour, sometimes for a
whole afternoon.
In France R is almost two years
since gpod weather lias prevailed for
a whole fortnight. This began in the
spring of 1909 and culminated in Hie
terrific disaster in January. 1910, when
practically the whole country was
flooded, and Paris suffered in such
measure that for a day or two it was
feared the whole city would be re-
duced to a mass of ruins.
Bad Weather Spreads.
Switzerland followed and then Italy
and then Spain ami England and Gcr
many, \\'ith June the water subsided
everywhere,, but none of the rivers re-
sumed quite their normal level. The
skies were seldom clear,_ the crops
were spoiled, and summer frocks were
hardly worn at all.
During the first weeks of November
Germany began to experience, serious
inconvenience. Tito Rhine rose seven
teen and one-half feet above its mean
level at Cologne, eighteen feet at
Mannheim and two and three quarter
feet at Moselle.
Madrid came next, after the first
week in December last. This time It
was n cyclone that caused the. floods,
submerging Seville andj all the low
lying districts as far as Malaga, de-
stroying railroad bridges, washing
away miles of railroad, mining nil
telegraphic and telephonic communica-
tions, isolating many villages, which
were left l in a critical situation, and
causing gi'eat loss of life and property
in the interior and along tire const.
From London stories of the flooding
of the Thames valley have been sent
out for over n month. It seems that
both sides of the river from Oxford to
practically Within the city of London
are flooded for miles. All the villas
and bungalows that are so typical in
'the landscape of the Thames are sub-
merged, and most of them will have to
be rebuilt, because the water has un-
dermined their foundations.

Wood Mavoy Case Set.
The case of the state vs. Wood
Maxey, charged with the killing ot
Ernest Johnson in this city last Oc-
tober and which ease was tried in
the Fifty-ninth district court two
weeks ago, resulting in a hung jury,
has been set for trial by Judge Pear-
son for the fourth day of the April
term of the court. Judge Pearson
lias ordered a special venire oi two
hundred men for the case.

Motion Overruled.
in the Fifty-ninth district court

ed a motion for a new trial in the
case of tlie state vs. Geo. \\ aller, in
which the defendant was found guil

Planter Suicides.^
All Countries Affected.
Everywhere went her"coiidilions seem
to lie pi'Otty much the same. In Rus-
sia the Dnieper at Kiev rose twenty
feet quite suddenly and swept away
villages and houses, with their ininth
Pauls, in its wild course.
The same reports of rain and storms
conic even from those countries where
summer conditions should now prevail
Australia. West Africa a'niT ltnem.s
Aires report tlie same weather.
To explain Ibis ominous state of
things Professor Flnmniarion made a
startling statement in the French
press.
„•• Deforestation in America is chiefly
responsible," lie said, "for whenever
the barometrical pressure is low wi
are subject to west winds, which hl»xv
direct from America Across tlie Atlan-
tic, practically following the course of
the gulf stream. These winds colled
vapors on the way, and these when
coming in contact with our damp and
chilly land condense, tlius causing our
continuous downpour.
America to Blame.
These winds have always existed
hut il is only of late that we have no-
ticed them in Europe. Why only of
lute? Tlie reason is to bo found in
the wholesale deforestation in Ihe
I'nited States.
It is admitted I hat; the west winds,
as a rule, touch the earth iu America,
and In times past the luxurious vogota
lion of that country served ns a very
effective obstruction of their violence,
in many cases arresting them and al-
ways retarding them. Now nothing
stands in their way, and that is why
Europe suffers."
Professor li. Jacoby, the astrmm
mer of Columbia university, thought
Klammnrinn's theory rather farfetch-
ed. "There is no doubt." lie continued,
“that forests have a certain amount of
influence on the violence of tlie wind,
but only in so. far as local conditions
are concerned. When von come to
talk of the west winds that travel over
half the hemisphere, how can they lie
arrested or retarded by mere trees,
take them ns high as you like? I/'t
us suppose a chain of mountains, say,
one mile and one-half high and all
beautifully wooded stood in their way,
and let us suppose we cut down all the
trees on them, do you think the differ-
encc ln the wind would be noticeable?
I do not think so hs long as the moun-
tains remained."
MISS INEZ MILHOl-LAND AJJI) HEK FJANOP.
Ml!. HATES.
Tlie croakers who fear that the suf
frngeitc will lose her matrimonial
chance may set their fears at rest., for
the ejigagdment is announced of the
m^aijbsWeroUs of suffragettes. Miss
Inez MBrndlaml, who perhaps.lias done
more spectacular and strenuous noil,
in Hit' "votes for women” cause than
any other American woman.
'The lucky mail with sufficient courage
to marry this socialistic suffragette is
Lindou Bates, Jr., of New York, ex-
iissembiyiuan. author and civil engineer
and a recent convert to tlie "cause.
Yirtorv through defeat will l«’ Mr.
Bates' s'..gnu, for lie does not promise
to aid the girl of bis heart in all of her
activities. Inn lie promises not to inter-
fere in them. A dangerous trip taken
by Mr. Bates through Siberia and Ids
book recounting ihe experience, "The
Russian Rond to China,” published
last winter, completed Miss Milled
lands interest in the author. The
Russian'rond led directly to her heait.
A resume of Miss Miiholland s short
career will show just wlmt her bus-
hand will lie up against. "As a child,
said her mother. "Inez was constantly
bringing home tlie most forlorn and
maimed specimens of femininity. And
at Ynssar later Iter socialistic tend
cneies quite shocked Hie conservative
faculty, for Airly in her college career
she had herself made probation officer.
The chapel having boon refused Ihe
fair Inez as a gathering place for a
suffragette meeting, nothing daunted,
with sixteen of her sworn allies, n
meeting took place at midnight in n
nearby graveyard, where they listened
to burning words from President Inez
After that suffrage became a tolerated
if not an approved subject til \ assar.
Miss Miiholland lias the honor of be-
ing the girl who "broke up Ihe big
Taft campaign parade."' As tlie pro-
cession moved doSvn 1 iFth avenue, the
hand playing "There'll Be a Hot
Time,” a voice from a window of one
of the houses called, "Give us voles
for women!” Miss Miiholland, then a
member of the Political Equality
league, was shouting these words to
the crowd through si megaphone.
Some of the men broke and ran into j
tiic \jouse. and after fifteen minutes' i
convincing talk Inez had converted1
them to the cause. Is was a great vie
tory from Ihe suffragist viewpoint.
Several arrests, two in London and
one during the shirtmiikers' strike in
New York last winter, are added to
Miss Milholinnd's victories, for the |
ofteiier a ’suffragette can suffer for the
cause the greater the glory.
She made four militant suffragette
speeches in Hyde park. I/nulou, when
only fifteen years old. She interviewed
Premier Asquith last summer, when
she persuaded him to lie more openly
friendly to the suffragettes. Her con
version of Mr. Bat As took place a year
ago at a suffragette t<fa, and now it is
suhl that the wedding bells will soon
be heard.

llOpihg to develop tlie intelligence of a
monkey to whose education lie was

with delight that the monkey w as sit

on entomology and looking at the
plates with apparent Interest. But on
going nearer lie saw. with.dismay. Him
tlie monkey was turning over the
plates in order that when lie came to
a particularly large beetle or butterfly
lie might pick it out and cat it. As
the paper could not have hud a nice

than by a mere depraved appetite
