Red blooded Americans sigh for the good old days, on reading that only 30 were killed in this fall's 'Soot ball games. The ? dissolution of Standard Oil will be about like the shifting of the kaleidoscope?the pieces are all there only in another form. ?If only little Nicaragua were of a little more than bantam size, Uncle Sam could swat him without look ing ridiculous..' -Mr. Taft tells the waterways peo ple that they must preseut facts. Usually control of caucuses has been the consideration for the pork. If prices keep on rising, some one would start a popular move next summer, by quitting wearing clothes and camping out in the woods. When it costs $2 to get a good cnewable chunk of roast beef, one sees redeeming features about living in Boston, the city of the bean pot. Mrs. Eddy appears to be the first female pope, now that sho excommu nicates Mrs. Stetson. Is the latter ready to play the part of Martin Luther? Nicaragua must make reparation for killing two Americans. Cutting down the number of revolutions per mitted per year would bo the only deterrent.

Sister Eddy again manifests the mysterious force of her personality by reducing to complete subjection Sister Stetson and making her stop down and out. One ghost that hangs over the Thanksgiving feast is the pre monition of the near-turkey concoc tions premulgated by the cooking schools for the week after. When the President, told the coun try in his Thanksgiving proclama tion that we "had lived In quietnes.?.' he must have overlooked Mrs. Stot son, Peary and Harry Thaw. , The violence of the descent from the pinnacles of fame of the foot ball hero, to a $6 per week clerk's Job, is what is knocking the stuffing Out of many promising careers. Henry Watter'son evidently thinks that a man may be both a newspaper reporter and a gentleman. We in fer this from the way he denounces the yellow press, and Its invasions of domestic privacy. Every newspaper man regrets the death of Laff?n, of tho New York Sun. His paper is eccentric and wrong headed, but In brilliant genius and the technique of newspaper mak ing, it could not be beaten. The merry swich of the axe is heard from the New York oustom house. Qualifications for po sitions there are a liking for the simple life and distaste for automo biles and the stock market. If 20 entombed miners can pro tect themselves'from gas by the clum sy expedient of piling up a wall, why not some provision for gas tight com partments like the water tight com partments thft save ocean liners?

Ihe ?vhiSKt'Y cjubuoii. In discussing the liquor quest! >.i in the Commoner Mr. Bryan says the liquor dealers, recognizing that 1 their very obvious pecuniary interest f would lessen the weight of any ar gument which they might publicly ad vance, are making their fight under cover of organizations purporting to represent those who use liquor. Many, well-meaning men-have been misled Ifcto believing that every at tempt to lessen the evils of intem perance is a "fanatical attack" on "personal liberty.** It is time the phrase "personal liberty" were defined. What is meant by "personal lib erty?" Does it mean that a person oas a right to drink in any quantity, at any time, and in any place, no mat ter what injury he may inflict upou others? If not, with whom rests the right to fix limitations? A drunken man is a menace to the lives and property of those about ?him; hav?-his- neighbors no-right to protect themselves? A drunkard robs his wife and chil dren, and he may finally make his family and himself a charge upon society; has society no right to pro tect itself? The saloon is next-of-kin to the brothel and the gambling hall; it is a rendezvous for the criminal eio ment and the willing tool of the corrupt politician; has not the body politic a right to protect itself from the demoralization which the saloon works? The right to drink does not ne cessarily include the right to de mand the establishment of a saloon. The right to drink Is sufficiently protected by any arrangement that permits the reasonable use of liquor under reasonable conditions; and it must be remembered that the right to drink, like any other right, can be forfeited. Nothing is more sa cred than the right to life, and yet one may forfeit his right to life If he uses it in such a way as to threat en the life of another. So, the man who drinks to excess may forfeit the right to drink; even the moder ate drinker may forfeit the right to drink In moderation if, not content with reasonable regulation, he in sists that liquor Bhall be sold under conditions that constitute a menace to the home and the State. The man who desires to drink moderately ought to join with those who seek to reduce the evils of drink to the lowest possible point, instead of allying himself with those who ignore the evils of intemperance and resist every"'effort pub forth for the protection of society. Foot Ball. Several recent de?ths while play ing foot ball, and the abrupt termina tion of foot ball schedules by several schools and colleges have brought about a crisis in the history of this game. The great defect of foot bail as now played is its emphasis upon mere physical force. The man who weighs 200 pounds, other things be ing equal, makes a far better player than the man who weighs 150. This advantage to mere avoirdupois is not consistent with the spirit of good sportsmanship, which everywhere gives an advantage to dexterity, skill, 'agility; alertness'" and eelf-control. Through these qualities base ball, for instance, places the man who weighs 150 poundB on a level with the man who weighs 200. A game in which mere weight counts so much must run in rather brutal channels, until means can be found for reforming the game, so as to make the finer qualities count high er. As the game stands today, it is too costly of human life and health. But it is too deeply related to our athletic life to be cast out altogeth er. It can be and should be reform ed, so that the undue advantage given to brute force shall be cut out. WORRIES OF SCHOOL TEACHERS. Two Unique Notes From Parents , About, Their Boys. Every mother who has a boy at school is .naturally interested In both the progress he makes in his studies and in the manner in which he is treated by his teacher. The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain-Dealer gives an illustration of the latter part of tho above proposition by the publication of a note written to a public school teacher of that city who had charge of the mental de velopment of her hopeful, In which the lady expressed herself in the fol lowing words of complaint aud s ug gestion. "Pardon me for calling your at tention to tho fact that you have pulled Johnie's right ear until it is getting longer than the other. Please pull the left ear for a while and oblige his mother." The Charlotte Observer says unique as is this letter, it can be capped by one received by a lady of Wilmington?a teacher in the pub lic schools of th.it city?from the mother of one of the boys in her department. That boy owned a goat and was in the habit of devoting much of his time out of school hours in playing with the animal, his chief amusement being to t?.ke a goat back ride every morning before school, which fact was forcibly im pressed on the teacher and members of his class through their olfactory nerves on his entrance into the school room. The teacher wrote a note to the mother of the boy, requesting that he be required to change his breeches after riding the goat be fore coming to school. In reply the boy's mother sent the following note to the teacher, which, we under stand, is filed among the "archives of gravity" in New Hanover county: "Dear Ma'am?Johnny ain't got but one pair of pants, and besides he ain't no rose anyway and 1 esides that Johnny is sent to school to be learned not smelt." Here was shown the Independence of the American who paid taxes to keep up the public schools and who, therefore, was above any and all petty school regulations. AcacLen.

After La Grippe "I had suffered several weeks with LaGrippe. Had pains in my head and eyes. It felt as though there was a heavy weight on the top of my head, until it seemed that my brain would burst. I was so nervous that I could not rest or sleep. When I dozed off I would awake with a sudden jerking of my whole body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Remedy and Nerve and Liver Pills cured me. A number of friends have since realized the same benefits." MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS, Seabrook, N. H. The after effects of LaGrippe are often more serious than the disease, as it leaves the system in a weakened condition that invites more serious troubles, such as pneumonia, etc. Dr. Miles' Restcative Nervine should be taken for some time to thoroughly restore nerve strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold by all drug gists. If the first bottle does not benefit, your druggist will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.

It has been found that Quaker Oats eaten often and regularly taking the place of heavy, greasy foods will work wonders in the health and strength of a family.
