An interesting Insight into the woes
of the presidency Is given in a cur
rent magazine. It Is contained In a
statement from ex-President Tleve
l. nd who sat for eight years in the
seat of power and retired amid a
t rrent of abuse that did not cease
until he died:
"A sensitive man Is not happy as
president. " Mr. Cleveland is quoted
as saying. "It is fight, fight, fight all
the time. He Is the target of every
kind of calumny. Everything he does
Is open to misconstruction. His en
emies are Incessant. It Is impossible
for him, If he Is conscientious, to
keep the affection of his friends. 1
boked forward to the close of my
ti rm as a happy release from care.
Tut I am not sure that I wasn't more
happy out of office than In. A term
iii the presidency accustoms a man to
great duties. He gets used to handl
ing tremendous enterprises, to organ
izing forces that may affect at once
and directly the welfare of the world
After the long exercise of power, the
"lt"nary affairs of life seem petty
and commonplace. An ex-president
practicing law or going Into business
is like a locomotive hauling a deliv
ery wagon. He has lost his sense of
proportion. The concerns of other
p -ople and even his own affairs seem
too small to be worth hothrrlns
about. I thought I was glad when
Mr. McKlnley came to Washington to
be Inaugurated, and I took a drink of
! rye whiskey with him In the White
House and shook hands with him
.'nd put my hat on my head and
walked out a private citizen. But I
miss the strain, the spur of constant
I thinking, the consciousness of power.

but the people of Umatilla

Among these may be mentioned tho
! movement for a new commercial
ciub; the expose of summer fallow
and the crusade against the big farm;
the campaign for a branch experi
ment station and the whereiiess of
the publicity bureau.
There are some people in this coun
ty and in Morrow, who have not yet
attended the fair: If they continue to
stay away a double loss will be In

The 101st anniversary of the birth
of General Hubert K. I-ee recalls the
little known fact that he was born
more than a year after his mother
had been burled, furnishing to the
world one of the most astonishing
cases of revivlscence on record.
General Ie'a mother was by no
means an entirely healthy woman and
the physicians at Stratford, Va., the
home of Henry I.ee (Light Horse
Harry) was kept in constant attend
ance. Mrs. Lee suffered from cata
lepsy and during a prolonged trance
she was pronounced dead.
The body was piepared for Inter
ment, und the morning of the third
day after supposed death the remain
were laid in the family vault in the
graveyard of that pretty little Vir
ginia village.
Members of the family made fre
quent visits to thi' vault, and whil.;
the sexton was cleaning up and ar
ranging some flowers to be placed on
the casket he heard some one calling
tor assistance.
Of course the old man was some
what alarmed, but as he had seen
many years of service In the city of
the dead, he did not leave the vault.
He listened closely and the voice was
distinctly heard again.
Becoming- satisfied that the voice
came out of the casket he at once
set to work and opened It, discovering
that Mrs. Lee was alive. Releasing
the poor woman from her awful fate,
assistance was soon summoned and
within a short time she was. safe In
bed at her home.
Mrs. Lee's recovery was slow, but
she regained good health and a little
more than a year after she was buried
alive her youngest son, Robert K, was
born, and thus came Into the world

When she had careles.-iy asktd the
sroeer the price of pineapples, and
he had answered 2l rents apiece, she
threw up her hands and exclaimed:
"Twenty cents: Will you just
think of that?"
"Very scarce, ma'am," said the
gi ocer.
"Ah. but If I had a husband with
the business head on him that I've
got I'd be selling you pineapples by
the thousand Instead of asking the
price."
"Yes?"
"It's not five years n"' that a man
came along and offered my husband
100 acres of pine land in the Adron
ilacks for $10 an acre, and we had
the money in the house to pay for it,"
"And go to raising pineapples, eh?"

As 30 per cent of the Kansas-made
flour Is put through the nrtlclclal
bleaching process the millers of the
state are not apt to find any great
amount of Dr. Crumblne, secretary
of the Kansas board of health, be
cause of his crusade against bleach
ed flour.
As to whether the bleaching of
flour Injures It or not Is a question
yet under discussion. Some millers
contend that It does, some that it does
not. It Is understood that Dr. Crum
blne has not yet com eto a final con
clusion on that point.
In one of the northern states, South
Dakota, at the experiment station, ex
tensive experiments have been made
to ascertain whether the procss of
bleaching the flour really injures It
or not, and the conclusion to which
they came was that It does have nn
Injurious effect. Dr. Crumblne will
probably have the same experiments
made In Kansas, and If the same re
sults are found Kansas millers will
be prohibited from bleaching flour
for sale In Kansas.
Whether or not It Is found that tho
process of bleaching Injures the flour
Secretary Crumblne Is sure to make
the millers label bleached flour as
such.
Kind words are of more comfort to
a man than a feather bed.
SI FJiEUMATISM
Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is
carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. Kvery muscle,
nerve, bone Hinl joiut absorbs the acrid, pain-producing poison, causing
aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease,
reruianeut relief from the pains and dineomfoit (f Rheumatism cannot be
expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment
which does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Such measures
pive temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric acid and
inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S S. S. cures
Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier. It ocs down into the
circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the blood. S. S. S.
expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is causing the pain, swell
ing and other discomfort, enriches the weak, sour blood, and permanently
cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic,
S. S. S. will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties
needed to ciire, and attlus same time a medicine that builds up the entire

Bilious Troubles
Bile causes no end of trouble. Sick headaches, bilious attacks,
jaundice, constipation and many distressing ailments arise from an excess
of bile, or from obstruction of the bile duct. Inactivity, sedentary occu
pations and indiscretion in feeding and drinking are bile blunders that
need to be guarded against. When the liver is disordered the best bile
correctives are
because they relieve the overworked liver, and gently stimulate it when
it is sluggish. These pills control the flow of bile, restore its right con
sistency, and work for the immediate and lasting benefit of the stomach,
bowels and blood. Whenever a furred tongue, dull, yellowish eyes,
nausea, or headache indicate bilious conditions, use Beecham's Pills at
once, to correct the bile and
