It was Just strong enough, however, to keep Cleveland from going openly against the current, yet his party was very hungry: hi party fol lowers had long been kept at a dls- tnnep from the Government crib, and be maintained.

Tlie tnovense in quantity nnd value of these Importation ha furnished a surprise to our customs officials. It Is sulci that but one nr tlelo of Import, pig tin, shows a grenter Increase during the Inst ten years than gont skins. In 1S!)8 In round nunibeirs. the Import of gont skins amounted to 40,747,02!) pounds, valued at $10,304,395, nnd for the fls cnl yenr 1906, to 111,079,391 pounds, valued nt $31,773,069. It will be seen that tho amount In' pound ne'nrly trebled In the ten yenrs, nnd the value was more than three times ns great In ten yenrs, from 1896 to 1906, the totnl . vnlue of goat skns Imported Into the United Stntes, omitting those Imported In the form of leather or kid gloves, amounted to more than $240,000,000. These figures are worthy of atten tlon, especially from those who have farms adapted to the raising of goats. The demand for .goat skins Increases yearly nnd is likely to continue to Increase. In Time of Peaco. In the first month of the Russia- Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs In dry weather." The virtue of prepara tion has made history and given to us our greatest men. The Individual a well as the nation should be pre pared for any emergency. Are you prepared to succesfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be treated much more quickly when treated as soon as It has been con tracted and before It has become set tled In the system.

Left Milan and Traveled Over Mount Blano in Safety. MILAN, Nov, 13. Details! of th trip of the buloon Mllano, which left tho ground of the International ex position last Sunday and arrived at Alx-les-fiulns, after having traveled over Mount Rlunc, have been received here. The Mllnno hna a capacity of 1000 cubic metre. The men on board were Blgnor Usuflll, a survivor of the cat natrophe to the balloon Reglna Elena In the Adriatic sea last summer, and Blgnor Crespl. The report received I from the latter aronaut. The Ml lano had splendid weather from the start and soon reached on altitude of 16,000 feet. The balloon wa travel Ing northward over Mount Rlanc, and as It progressed the air grew colder and colder. Belaw them the travel ers could see nothing except an exten sive field of snow, broken by aharp peaks, and dotted with frozen Alpine lakes. The highest altitude reached was 20,U000 feet. The rarlfled atmos phere made It necessary for the men to reort to their supply of oxygen to keep alive. At one point of the trip Hlgnor Usuelll succumbed to the nervous strain nnd burst Into tears, On the other side of the mountain the balloon descended gradually and landed safely at Alx-les-Balnes. A distance of 175 miles -was covered In three hours. Made Happy for Life. Oreat happiness came Into the home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent. at St Alban', West Virginia, when his little daughter was restored from the dreadful complaint he names. He says: "My little daughter had St Vi tus' Dance, which yielded to no treat ment but grew steadily worse until as a last resort we tried Electric Bit ters; and I rejoice to say, three bot tles effected a complete cure." Quick, sure cure for nervous complaints, gen eral debility, female weaknesses, Im poverished blood and malaria. Guar- anted by Chas. Rogers' drug store. Price SOc DIVORCE IN HIGH LIFE.
