HARDING'S CHOICE Some of the papers are making fun f Harding's cabinet?in fact they seem to think that when nc changed his trade from printer to that oi cabinet maker he made a mistake One of the bad features of the election is that the South was completely ignored in the choice of a cabinet. While it was not expected that he would choose ? Democrat as a member of his official family, it was supposed that he might find a Republican in some one of the Southern States who would measure up to the cabinet standard. It augurs badly for the South that he has not done so. Surely, with the triumph of the Republican party, a party in which there are tome South haters who would not hesitate to do this section great injustice, there should bt among th'j President's advisers o.ie man from the Southern States. President Harding has said some kind words of and tc the Southern people, but words do not count much without deeds. There art malevolent influences among some oi the Republican leaders of the North who would delight in the humiliation of the South. Threats have been made as to th; reduction1 of the South's represents tion in- Congress, threats as to con trolling by Federal troops the votinc places In the Interest of negro suff rage. This may be one of the means by which the Republicans will try tc make their control of the government perpetual. Their leaders are aware ol the fact that when the people, aftei four years of Republican rule, anc perhaps ruin, may desire to make a change. They remember that seme enormous Republican majorities have been completely reversed, and that Democrats have succeeded Republi cans by large majorities. To provide against such a calamity to them, they will employ the nexl four years in entrenching themselvef in office for the future. With high protective tariff in aid ol certain interests and other legislatior not in the interest of the people th< worm will urn. It is not unreasonable to suppose that in four years there will be a lane slide that will put the Democrats ir power. As intimated in the beginning Mr Harding's cabinet is giving the news paper contingent some amusement They aay, for instance that Edwii Derby, Michian, who is made Secre tary of th? Navy, can't even swim.bu be is a millionaire, though he did no make his money on water, unless i was made by watering his stock. Th< lady who warned her daughter t< "hang her clothes on a hickory limb but don't go near the water" ha< nothing on Edwin Derby, Secretary o the Navy. Mr. Derby might do as a forme Secretary of the Navy did, a Secre tary whose name is not now recalled He proposed to the Secretary of Wa that they change places as the wate always made him sea-sick, and h knew that the war Secretary ha< crossed the ocean several times.

THE BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC , ' Drowsy Spring-Fever Feeling Hurt [ Come? From Sluggish Blood Will I ' r Soon Leave You ' ?

They car1 ry oxygen to cells in all parts of the - body, and they carry away worn-out 1 waste matter. Sometimes, especially, in the Spring, after the winter in-j ? doors and more or less sickness, the e red corpuscles themselves need re building. Gude's Pepto-Mangan cont tains just the ingredients to give them 1 greater power to absorb oxygen and - to distribute it throughout the body. , i That is why it is such a good Spring . tonic. It helps so much to bring back t color to cheeks made pale and wan by - the necessary indoor winter life. It f adds to the number of red corpuscles. With fine Spring days and Gude's Pepto-Mangan you gain in vigor and . attain good health. Don't go around drowsy this Spring.1 Take that good tonic, Gude s Peoto I. Mangan.

Like all the more famous Virginians, Madison >vas not of the highest aristocracy, but the son of a plain, well-to-do farmer In an outlying county. HIr early life wag passed at Montpoller, the farm which his grandfather had wrested from the Indians; from It he drew his, only prlvute Income and at lust he was hurled In Its soil lie was dependent on his father until he was fifty, when the latter died and the place became his own, with 100 slaves, who continued always to address him simply as "Master Jimmy." Standing only live feet six Inches and one-quarter Inches, he was, with v Orant the smallest of our presidents. Naturally thin and frail his zeal for study nearly wrecked his health while I a student ut Princeton college, where J for months nt a time he slept only three hours out of the 24. Unfitted for military duty when the Revolution nine, he went to the Virginia legislature Instead. Yet this seemingly broken-down young mnn was destined i to 1m* the longest lived of all the preslI dents, with the single exception of ' John Adams. When a cnndldate for re-election t?

His morality was mistaken for stinginess and ths thirsty voters flocked to the cap* r clous hnrrel of his opponent, who was elected. The defeated candidate hml F to wait a dozen years for his first chance to distinguish himself. Still no time was lost, for, while he wae _ waiting, he diligently prepared to meet opportunity when It should come and made a close study of all governments, ancient and modern. If Mudtson had not been crossed and blessed In love, posterity might not catch him on his hnmnn side at all and only yawn over this prosy, serious, studious, cool-tempered unaggressive, weazened, little great man. He was already a mature bachelor of thirty, two and a member of the Continental congress, when a sixteen-year-old girl in his Philadelphia hoarding house was the first to touch a soft spot In his heart. A young clergyman who hung and sighed over her harplschord cut him out, and ho was painfully awakened from his first dream of love by a letter of dismissal which, for reasons unknown to this later generation, j the young miss scaled with a pinch of rye dough. Madison was pnst forty, and well Into his Indian summer, when he hecame Involved In still another hoarding house romance at Philadelphia. Only, instead of a lady hoarder, he . fell In love this time with a landlady's daughter, Dolly Payne Todd, who was only twenty-six, had lost her husband and was living with her moth mm m-viTN tutu ner noune s few gentlemen boarders."
