people, lefc the stat two weeks ago for
California, to attend to some mining
cases in which he is retained as an at
torney. At that time it is said there
was no thought of Senator Clark re

he would be unseated by the United
States Senate. The resignation filed to

OPINIONS DIFFER.
Washington. May 15. Senators gen
erally declined to express opinions up
on the effect of the appointment of
Clark by the Lieutenant-Governor of
Montana. Senator Chandler, chairman
of the committee on privileges and elec
tions, would only say: "I reckon, the
trick won't work." According to the
opinions of Senators McComas, Caffery
and Jones of Arkansas, if the Senate
adopts the resolutions of the committee
on privileges and elections, it will be is
though a vacancy had existed all the
time, and the Governor would then
have no power to appoint. Senator
r rye. president pro iem ol the senate
said that under the present conditions ?
vacancy existed. He had ordered
Clark s name stricken from the roll on
the statement that he had resigned. If
Senator Clark presented credentials in
due form, he would be sworn in unless
objection was made.

ACHIEVING DISTINCTION.
One Man Succeeded by His Work on
the Big Bass Drum.
"It is a curious and interesting Frict "
said Col. Calliper, "that a man can
ichieve distinction in his community
! I 1 1 t . "
11 vmaievcr waik ne may iiow. no
matter what that may be. It i? not
required that his shall be a lofty our
snit. but only that whatever he; does
shall be done superlatively well, or in
such manner as to catch the public
fancy. I once knew a bass drummer in
1 band who. when the band paraded,
was the center of attraction in it;
"He made of bass drumming an art
and a science, too: He was. in fact, dc
voted to it. a prime essential to high
success in any line. His drumming
Had- novelty and humor too. He car
ried his drum himself, in iront if him
without help, by straps aro.md his back,
and used two drumsticks. It was years
igo that this bass "drummer iloiirished.
but he played then in what is n iw call
ed ragtime, most effectively; omitting
strokes to put tnem,in later, aiWays in
perfect time., but often vith the most
surprising variations, flourishing cne
stick or both, in - the inost Hnin:nteJ
and eccentric fashion, and bringing one
or both into play again in rhe most un
expected ways, with single strokes, and
double strokes tumbling over one an
other in odd 'sequence !".ir:ons and
curiously . shaded . combinati ins of
sounds that appealed to ;he s?nse oi
erotesque and humorous rrcsisiib'y.
People used to walk along ov the side
walk when the band played to ee and
hear the bass drummer play. Many a
time myself, by night, in political cam
paigns when we had torchlight preces
sions in the town, and the Inn d joct to
ead them. I have walked ilong v-here
I could see him and watch his 'drum
'sticlas frying arfd listened (fascinated
and delighted to his stirring and, bom
bast drumming. Folks- ; that ! tidn"t
know him used to ask his r.ams; they
wondered at him. and wanted toj know
who he was.
"His walk in life was playing on tht
bass" drum; which might not seem to
be the surest patlr to Hme. IJ'.ut he
plajied the bass dnim wth devotion,
spirit and originality, finalities that
command respect- and admiration in
whatever pursuit they aire displayed;
and so he stood easily as it was quite
right he should stand, among those
who had achieved distinction, m that
community." .! ! -

SENSELESS SJ
SACRIFICES TO SUP-
ERS
The
Human Sacrifices of the
Nineteenth Century. .
It was the custom of 'the ancient
Britons to honor Woden with a gigan
tic holocaust, i A huge figure, bearing
the rude outlines of a man. was fash
ioned of wicker work, and into . this
figure were thrust the struggling forms
of men and women. Then the pries't
applied fire to the structure and the
miserable . vicnims - of human, supersti
tion were roasted to death. . -We shud
der as we thnk of such barbarism. We
give thanks; that we live in the nine
teenth century 'and in free America.
And yet. in this free land, superstition
has' its votaries and its victims. Sta
tistics prove that each year one-sixth
ot all the men and women who sdie are
victims of a disease popularly regarded
as incurable the dread disease, con
sumption.5 It-would be absurd to deny
that in certain stages the victim ot
consumpiion is beyond the help of the
scientific knowledge of the present day.
though every year science grows
stronger to aid the consumptive. It is
equally absurd to deny that there is
abundant evidence that bronchitis, ob
stinate, lingering cough, bleeding of
the lungs, and conditions in general
which; terminate in consumption, are
Ibeing cured daily by the Use ot Dr.
Pierce's Golden Mcdital Discovery.
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS
There is no getting past a fact. You
may refuse to- accept it. bttt there it
stands, challenging doubt and elenial,
and inviting investigation. The fact
that "Golden Medical Discovery" does
cure bronchitis, does cure hemorrhages
of the lungs, does cure obstinate, ling
ering coughs, does build up the emaci
ated and enfeebled body, into health,
a fact as undeniable as that the
sun rises, and sets. The proof does
not rest on a single cure, but on thou
sands of ctlres. Suppose a man lost
on the trackless praitie stumbles sud
denly upon a path, trampled hard by
the oassa'ge of thousands ot leet. Will
he sit down apd say I am lost? Or
will he take the one chance or help
that opens to him. and follow the trail
which points to saJety? Every !rn
he will strike into the trail and go on.
staggering and stumWing to which he
may; find the help of human hands, the
succor of human, Hearts. There is
suclv a beaten trail to health marked
tor the man who is coughing his life
away. ;It has5 been trodden by thou
sands who had given themselves up
J-'or jost and who have found in it a
wayjto'hcahh and long life. Why.
then, aremen willing to accept Ihe
theory that they are lost to health and
happiness? Why do they accept a
horrible doom with scarcely a strug
gle? Because i
THEY HAVE BEEN ROBBED
of hope by superstition. The priests of
this- superstition, the medical men,
have ?aid "Nothing can be done for
you." and they accept the dictum and
sit down and await their fate. The
general -attitude 01 the average medi
cal practitioner toward the sufferer
from lung disease is cruel to the e'x
treine. 'Having no help to offer him
self, he denies that there isany help
to be-Jouid. Tie pooh poohs a relia
ble ; remedy and says don't waste your
money, or. as Mr. McCawley's physi
cian said of ; "Golden' Medical Discov
ery' "You may as well take so. much
water."
Yet Mr. iMcCawley took' "Golden
Medical Discovery" and was cured.
He saw a. testimonial from a man who
had; been cured of a diseased condition
similar to his own. The doctor couldn't
help him: they said it was "a case of
die anyway. . as Mr., 'McCawiey looked
it it. But he was a cautious man.' He
wrote to the man who claimed to have
oeen. cured by Dr. Pierce's medicine
before he wrote to Dr. Pierce. . That
was: business.
These testimonials are genuine and
toonest. and one fact will be noted in
almost all of them that the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was
not , begun until the doctors failed to
help or pronounced the doom of death.
The one vital question to you if you
are ' sick will be "'
I WHAT IS MY CHANCE?
Cari I be cored? Look" at the facts.
Read over the testimonials given be
lowUand then answer that .question in
the light of common sense These peo
ple, j who were cured had lungs just
Tike your lungs, and blood just like
our btood. That's the main point to
remember. The symptoms may. vary,
but the body is the same always, and

"Twenty-five years ago when I was
thirteen year old, I liad, what the doc
tor called consumption." writes Mrs.
Ella Taylor Dodge. i.Matron of the
Home for Missionaries Children.
Morgan Park. 111., Box 165. "He told
my mother that nothing could be done
for me excepting to make me as com
fortable as possible. The pastor of
the M. E. church in the place where I
lived heard of my condition, and, al
though he was not acquainted witfi our
family, he-called, and during the call
asked my mother it she would allow
me to take a medicine it he would send
it to me;. She thought that it could
do no harm if it did no good, so he
sent a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Before the bottle
was empty my friends saw' a little im
provement in my health,; whereupon
another bottle was bought? I can't -ay
now justfhow much I took.-, but I im
proved steadily, and today am a 'well,
woman, as you may imagine I must be
to have the care of this Home. I have
unbounded faith in 'Golden Medical
Discovery.' "
"About five years ago." writes Cor
nelius "McCawley. . Esq.. of Lecchburg.
Armstrong Co., Pa. "I was taken with
hemorrhages, and I' had eiurluv-Hie of
! them in all: sometimes spitting five'
pints of blood at. one time. It brought'
me down so low that I could -no walk
nor get any sleep. I tried a great 'many
things and went to doctors in Pitts
burg, but got no relief. My friends
gave me up to die.-'and indeed gath
ered two or three times to see me die.
My doctor did all he could for me,
was very attentive, but could not top
the hemorrhages, and. ail gave me-up
to die. with consumption. 1 got a
little book of Dr. Pierce's, and while
looking over the names in the pamph
let jt those who stated that they had
iK'en cured by Dr. 'Pierce's Golden--Medical
Discovery I found one case
that Seemed to be exactly like mine ;
the case of Mr. C. II. Harris. I sat j
down and wrote to him. describing my j
case. In about one week I got an an- 1
swer irom him, telling me that. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
saved his life-, and he advised me to try
it. I told my doctor I would try-.it.
and he said 'You may as well take wa
ter.' but I thought it was only 'die'
anyway, so I wrote to you and com
njnced the use of the 'Golden Medi
cal Discovery' and Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. IWhen I had taken six bot
tles I had eight bad hemorrhages;
wrote to you and you sent, me word
to keep on with the -Discovery and
the hemorrhage wfuld stop after a
while. I thank the Lord it did. That
was over two years ag and I have
not had any bleeding since."
