Dr. McKanna’s 3-Day Liquor Cure

A Sense of Humor and Success tn Po
litical Life.
lau Maclareu cites Beucousfield and
Gladstone as examples to show that
men devoid of a sense of humor suc
ceed In |>olitical life more frequently
than those blessed with that attribute.
We are not so certain that the careers
of the rivals he mentions are conclu
sive of the question. Disraeli was a
very successful man. At his birth the
race to which he belonged was dis
franchised in England, despised, but
he i>ecanje the leader of British aris
tocracy, was more than once prime
minister of the empire, perhaps the
highest civic station in the world, and
at the close of the congress of Berlin
he was the first personality then in ex
istence. And all this despite the fact
that he had the most biting wit of his
generation. Gladstone was the greater
orator, Beacousfield the greater man;
Gladstone was the better man, Beu
consfield the more capable statesman.
Marlborough and I'eterltorougb would
serve much better to illustrate the idea
lau Maclareu advances. One was al
ways grave, the other always gay.
Marlborough sought nothing but the
promotion of his own fortunes; Peter
borough’s only ambition was to aston
ish the world. It is likely that Peter
borough would have gained Blenheim;
it is only possible that Marlborough
would have taken Barcelona. Pitt and
| Sheridan are two examples, one the
i gravest statesman and the other the
wittiest of a great generation. Pitt
reached the pinnacle of success; Sheri
dan quaffed tile lees of failure, disap
pointment, debt and penury, and yet
Sheridan was the more Intellectual
man of the two. with infinitely the
more brilliant genius. Thomas B.
Heed ami William McKinley were two
other examples. Ueed saw the ridicu
lous in everything; McKinley saw it in
nothing. Heed could have found a joke
ia a broomstick, like Swift; a surgical
operation could not have Injected a
Joke into the serious mind of McKin
ley. Though Ueed was by far the
greater man, he failed to rea'h the
presidency, which hunted McKinley up
and billeted itself upon him.
Proctor Knott had no superior as a
jurist In any congress of which be was
a member. His speech on the four
teenth amendment was one of the most
powerful constitutional arguments ever
delivered in a deliberative body and
extorted from Jeremiah 8. Black ex
travagant encomiums, but who recalls
It? Whereas bis Duluth speech was

He Tells Presbyterians of Scholarships
He Maintains In Asia.
That William J. Bryan Ls a philan
thropist as well as a political leader
was disclosed the other afternoon
when in the course of an address at
New York to mem Iters of the Presby
terian Itoard of foreign missions be
said that be was maintaining eight
scholarships in American colleges in
Japan, China and India.
“I created them during rny recent
tour of the east,” he said, "and expect
to continue them as Lag as I am able,
which I rather believe will be for some
time.”
Mr. Bryan’s appearance before the
Presbyierian mission workers was the
fulfillment <<f a promise made by him
on the slojtes of Lebanon a year ago
when he met a member of the foreign
hoard, says the New York Herald. He
delighted ids hearers with a descrip
tion of the work of American mission
aries as he saw it and gave his hearty
sup|»ort to the work.
“As I told an Englishman whom I
met in the east,” lie said, “America
cannot i>oast that the sun never sets
on her possessions, but we can make
the prouder boast that the sun never
sets on American philanthropy. What
America has done for Christianity in
the eastern parts of Asia has been
equaled by no other country. Wher
ever one goes he finds the American
workers and sees the lieneflcent results
of American Influence When the ori
ent is redeemed, America will get the
greatest credit.
"While in the east I had a discussion
with an Englishman over the craze of
money madness and the spirit of com
mercialism which has swept over the
world. The Englishman expressed the
opinion that Americans have become
■la ves to commercialism and never
have a thought of anything else. I
called Ms attention to the fact that,
without receiving one penny in return.
America contributes more every year
for the redemption of India than does
England, w hich takes $100,000,000 out
of that country each year. He agreed
that this was pretty good proof that
America was not what be had believed
tt to be.
“In my opinion the greatest work of
the next few years should be done in
Japan. That country is the gateway to
the east Send your beat men there.
Bend older men than those now encoun
tered, men who have been trained In
the work of spreading Christianity.
Interest the government officials, and
when that is done the beginning of a
great triumph will have been achieved.
Japan ia practically without' a religion,
and Christianity can be taught to the
people, who are of brilliant intellect'*
Sorry He Was So Inquisitivo.
Regarding the public agitation for
baths in elementary schools in Aus
tria, a story is going the round of court
circles of a recent experience of the
Emperor Francis Joseph, writes a Pall
Mall Gazette correspondent. His maj
esty was visiting a school in a small
country district when a rather officious
local official, anxious to impress the
sovereign with the progressive ideas
prevailing in the community, called his
attention to the fact that the scbool-
house was provided with baths for the
pupils. The emperor showed the live
liest interest and immediately asked to
see the bathroom, whereupon the di
rector of the school looked extremely
uncomfortable. The key could not be
found for some time, and his majesty
began to get impatient. Finally it was
produced, and the eager official opened
the door. The emperor stepped into a
veritable lumber room filled with a
choice collection of broken desks and
chairs and waste paper, completely
hiding the bath equipment. Stepping
quickly out again, the distinguished
visitor was overheard to murmur;
was I so in-

to $100 and $150 within the last twen
