. The Magician and the King.;
A magician' once traveled to New
Zealand. It was arranged that be
should give an exhibition of mind reed
ing before ttte king of the Maoris. Aft
er aotoe parleying it was decided that
the king himself should conceal the
article which the magician was t dis
cover. " ' "
Tho mind reader left the room and
after a tlmn was brought back blind
folded, as ti the custom In suh per
formances. After some time ta ma
gician declared that the hidden article
was In the king's mouth. His majesty
shook his head savagely In tho nega
tive. , The magician lnaisted upon his
point and demanded that the king's
mouth ho opened wide. The klng(re
fosed. ( '
The magi.'ian Insisted, and the ex
citement bscamo very great until at
last the duky king reluctantly opened
his Jaws. The article was not thorn!
The next Instant, however, the king
was taken with a violent fit of cough
ing, lie had tried to swallow the lost
article, a button, but could not and
was compelled to cough It up. -
The Maoris were uproarious with
mirth. They did not know which to
admire the more the wisdom of the
magician or the heroism of the king.
f Married Man In Trouble
A married matt who permits any
member of the family to take any
thing except' Foley's Hoaey and Tar,
for 'coughs,' colds : and lung trouble,
is guilty of neglect. Nothing else is
at good for all pulmonary troubles.
The genuine Foley's Honey and Tar
contains no opiates and is in a yellow

Political seera may possibly perceive
something omiuous for Bryan in the
fact that at the Democratic county con
vention in Cincinnati thu other day the
sergeant at arms was knocked down
three times. Bryan has only been
knocked down twice. Third time's
coming. .
Colonel Jlenry Watterson, while sup
porting Bryan thla year, has uot apolo
gized for opposing him in 1S0C5. Evi
dently the colonel has forgotten all
about his fiery utterances during the
campaign of that year and. hopes that
Bryan has done likewise.

THE ILLS OF MAN.
Appndlelt!i and Gout Rampant Thou-
. sands of Yssrt Ago.
The injuries, disease and peculiari
ties of the people who lived In the val
ley of the Nile from prehistoric until
early Christian times, a period of
over 0.0W years, are shown In a
pathological collection on view at the
Boyal College of Surgeons In London.
The collection was obtained during the
exploration of fifty-seven cemeteries
In the area of the Nile valley lying Im
mediately south of the pillurs of Kc
nosso. which mark the frontier of an
cient Kgypt.
The survey was carried out under
the direction of Captain II. O. Lyons
of the Egyptian government la one
grave were found the abdominal or
gans of a woman so well preserved
that it was possible to say that she
suffered from , appendicitis, which is
considered to be the earliest evidence
of this disease. Typical lesions of
gout were found In aa early Christian

Beggars Are Ingenious.
Nowhere is the ingenuity of the
present age more apparent than iu
the begging letters received by rich
men," said a priveta secretary. "I
have been reading letters of that kind
by the hundred for the last fifteen
years. Formerly all begging letters
sounded alike. So stereotyped were
they that they might have been copied
verbatim from a ready letter writer.
Now the writers display originality.
They may want the same old things
that their predecessors wanted, but
they ask for them in a different way.
People In need have acquired the art
of expressing themselves forcibly.
That is to their advantage.
"H may be unjust but usually It Is
the letter that hits the rich man hard
est that brings a favorable reply. The
writer may uot really need assistance
nearly so badly as some timid person
who can t get away from trite phrases,
but be gets the relief asked for every
time." New York Globe,

Mr. Bryan declares that ha baa been
tariff reformer for twenty-eight
years. Ills platform in Jim mulsted
that the tariff should sot be agitated
until the money question was seted.
He postponed it In 1000 to discuss Im
perialism and la making It an Issue In
1908 only In communities where his
other vagaries have no standing.
"My record Is known" says Mr. Bry
an. He might run better If it were not
Republican success would mean that
there would be no disturbance of busi
ness, no unsettling of values and no
standstill congress. The country la not
ready for four years of stagnation and
futile agitation.
Mr. Bryan says he is always ready to
lift his voice in defense of the fanner,
as If the thrifty, happy American farm
er needed any defense.
