FOR "In America," said Wordsworth to Emerson, when the two poets were discussing our country together, "I wish to know not how many churches or schools, but how many newspa pers." Poets often striko out brilliant criticisms. Wordsworth, long before the press had become whnt It now Is, on In hopes of having the decree of The following paragraph from one of Roosevelt's recent speeches rings true: "We cannot too highly honor him (Lincoln). The highest way wo can honor him Is to see that our homage Is not only words; that to loyalty of words wo Join loyalty of the heart and that we pay honor to the memory of Abraham Lincoln by so conducting ourselves as citizens of this republic, that we shall hand down undiminished to our children and out cnimrcn s cnuurcn tne Homage wo received from men who upheld the statesmanship of Lincoln In the coun ells and who made good the soldier ship of Grant In tlio Held.

Three literary women, all ot whom havo made successes. In one family, Id rather rare. In tho history of othor days the Brontes wore the nearest approach to It. Today there aro Mrs. John G. K.

This trio of clever women havo wrltton soveral novels and novelettes and some excellent short stories and essays, and there Is hardly one of the popular periodicals which does not contain the namo as a contributor of at least ono of tho three.

Experience is a dear teacher, as those who pin their faith to Mercury find out sooner or later. This power.

Mercury and Potash are poor crutches, and their use eventually breaks down the constitution, ruins the digestion nnd cause the bones to decn'y. S. S. S., a guaranteed purely vegetable remedy, is the only antidote for Contagious Blood Poison. It de stroys every atom of the deadly vims, overcomes the bad effects of the mercury and cleanses the blood nnd system so thoroughly that never after are uny signs of the disease seen. Nor is the taint ever transmitted to others. We will send free our book on Contagious Blood Poison, which is inter esting and contains full directions for treating yourself at home.

But thoy are nil Improving, Collier's. GOODBY MR. PAYNE. Now that the president Is back at his desk there will bo something do ing in tho postal department. Hoos ovelt's attitude toward corruption and trickery la too well known to leavo any doubt in the minds of tho guilty ones what notion ho will take.

Pray that tho day when tho sun goos out for you may bo long defer red. Hichaid Henry Stoddard survived his wife eight months and died happy In tho belief that In that great mys terlous somewhere he would again feel tho strongth of her presonco, tho glow of her tender affection Ho wrote many beautiful things; ho penned nothing to equal the love story of his own life.

Such a spectacle of tho helplessness oi state government. Neither the government ot Mlssou ri or Kansas was of any consequence wiuuover in too emergency. xne same was truo ot tho Texas government In tho terrible Galveston Hood.
