Digesto Coffee Digesto Coffee is coffee made digestible by refining it. Digesto Coffee is not a substitute for coffee. It is coffee, but coffee made medically harmless and digestible. OiCtSTO GOFFEE Tlie injurious effects from coffee are due to the presence of tannic acid and an excess of caffeine, because they are both poisons. These have been removed from Digesto Cofiee by refining it. The harmful effects are thus eliminated. Whoever drinks coffee, drinks it for the flavor, not for the irritating poisons, and while some may not feel the harmful effects from these irritants, it is certain they can do you no good, and coffee is better without them. You get the full flavor—the finest flavor you ever tasted— in Digesto Coffee, because the bitterness of the caffeine is not present to partially destruy the flavor. Coffee gets its flavor from the caffeol it contains, which in Digesto Coffee is present in its undiluted strength. 25 CENTS PER PACKAGE. the Following Grocers Keep It.

LITERARY LITERARY How Max Removed Molly’s Doubt There was no use talking. Max was positively giving me the fidgets, sprawled out on the seat in front of me, Hatching the trees tly past, his eyes half shut, iiis lingers drumming, drumming on the car window. I sim ply eun't stand a lazy man, especially when there's six feet two of him. Up on occasion, a lazy little man can dis port himself picturesouely but Max— I put down my magazine and glared at him vindictively. Xot for very long, though. Max has a most disconcerting way of suddenly arising to the occa sion, and outglaring one most effec tively. without glaring himself. Of course 1 blushed till it hurt the back of my neck, and dove into my maga zine with undignified haste. I hate gray eyes, anyhow. “Well, my Lady Disdain, and what is it now?” (That's one of the most abominable things about Max—his drawl. It’s as irritating to me as the escape valve on the steam radiator is to him.) "Is it my inches, my attitude, or tht fact that I ‘could do anything on earth I want to, and don't do anything but spend money and break athletic records?’ he quoted mockingly. Of course I couldn't lower my dig nity by returning him an inadequate reply, so I continued my reading with reallv absorbing interest. I'd opened up to the page which sets forth the virtues of Ostermoor mattresses, but it did very nicely. I like the picture of the distressed lady trying to put six feet of elastic expansion into one foot of mattress. 'Mary, Mary. quite contrary.” hummed Max. “We're pretty close to the long tunnel now. It's fifteen min-, utes long, upgrade, and a bad draft. Beastly hole. They ought to put on a couple of extra engines and rush us through.” “Yes?” I assented, wibt what I con sidered beautiful indifference. Max known I confess to a secret terror of tunnels—wherefore the indifference. But nevertheless I couldn't help shiver ing a little when I caught sight of the black mouth which the mountain ahead opened up. just as we rounded a bend In the road. Some way, there's euch an awful lot of top of' you. go ing through a tunnel, and fifteen min utes Is—well fifteen minutes. "Why don't they, then?” I Inquired presently. Max raised his eyebrows. “Why don t they what?” he demanded, some what Impolitely, I thought. Max eer tainly doesn't possess a phychologlcal mind, or he could easily have followed up my train of thought. “Oh, put on extra engines? Well, you see, when I was—" He stopped short, rather abruptly, thought, but the funny little pori with the grizzly hair was lighting t lamps and shutting the ventilate and l may have been mistaken—a gj haired darky is unreasonably fascln: »u* to me. He called me “chile,” t took: Max and *te *e minutes went by in silence. Four. One by one, the traveling men at the end of the car had departed—in the manner of trav eling men. to investigate. The only There is Only One “Bromo Quinine99 That is Laxative Bn&mo Quinine USED THE WOULD OVER TO CURE A COLD iff ORE DAY. Always remember the full name. Look lor" thiatJaiguature on every box. i'5c. A. other woman besides myself rose hasti ly and followed them in search of her boy who had gone to visit a playmate in the next ear. The silence grew oppressive. The car was becoming close and hot. I felt as if a breath were impossible. “Max,” 1 quavered, “isn't this air dreadfully Ian?" "Bad! How ridiculous! We could slay in hero an hour linger and never know wo were within a mile of a tun ne!." he scoffed. But presently a slight pucker r.f anx iety appeared between his eyebrows, and in a moment he too began staring out intt the darkness of the tunnel. For live minutes longer we strained our ears for sounds from the front of the train. Ours was the last car. Something seemed to be gripping my throat. I leaned forward suddenly. "Max. I'm frightened!” He got up lazily. "Keep your nerve. Molly, I’ll get you a glass of water. There's nothing wrong, I tell you.” lie strolled down the aisle to the end of tlie car and returned with a small tin traveling cup. I stretched out my hand to take it. and then—the conductor threw open the door and stood peering the length of the almost empty car. The lantern in his hand threw up a greenish tinge on bis white face. He glanced quickly about him. I was the only woman in sight, and this was the last car. "Is there any one in here who can run an engine?” he shouted. “The en gineer and fireman have both been laid out by the gas. A fellow in the car hack has volunteered to fire. Ten min utes of this will smother us all." Max set the cup carefully down* on the window sill and stepped out into the aisle. "1 am an engineer.” he said quietly. They turned and hurried to the door. I stood quite still and watched there go. I felt oddly satisfied and pleased Ipnd no longer frightened. The Boor slammed. I think I sat down upon the seat and clapped my hands softly. It was all so like a play! When the train slowed down outside the tunnel, it was I who sprang to the ground first of all tho passengers, as sisted by the old darkey, still gray from his recent fright. Hatless and excited, I raced the length of the cars to the engine. Would Max be all right? What if ne had shared the fate of the en gineer and fireman? A man was climbing slowly from the cab. His face was covered with a mask of grease and soot. lie wore a dilapidated jacket and carried an oil can in one hand. 1 rushed up to him. ‘•Where is Mr. Norton??” I demanded. “Is he all right?” The man turned and grinned cheer fully down at me. His teeth gleamed white in the sect of his face. "Max!" I cried. He slooped beside the engine, flour ishing his oil can. "I'm going to take the train to Leav enworth,” he said proudly. ”1 promised you a storiette, Molly, and it must be finished.”—Alice M. Richards in Los Angeles Times. Goats for Weedy Land. floats are browsers, not grazers, and prefer weeds and brush to grass. An goras will live and tlirleve in any climate that a sheep v ill. They are prolific breeders, and productive shearers until p* years old. They are net as good milkers as the Mat lose or Swiss goats, but they give plenty for rearing their voting. On the average the Angora goat lives a dozen years, and is in its prime between the ages of two and six. Food for the Bull Calf. For the calf the f; good stock boards will also do f r same. The 2-inch stuff is used in building round silos and the round silo is the best form to build. It is the strongest and easiest to construct and costs less money than any of the other styles of silos. I am. perhaps, in a position to give good advice in silo construction, hav ing used them during the past ton years and having seen all kinds of silos, all kinds of material used and all styles of construction from a hole in tlic ground to the costly brick struc ture. I have found htat great cost does not necessarily mean success in the silo. I have fed as fine ensilage from an ex cavation that cost only labor remov ing the earth, as from a silo that cost SlOuO. Tiie cheapest form one can put up is the round silo built of 2x4 pine if you are in the pine lumber belt. If you are where hemlock is cheaper than pine tisc that. If tamarack is the cheapest local lumber use that. It spruce is your cheap building ma terial use it, or in the coast country west of the Rockies use redwood. It is just as good as pine. If you are in any of the above localities but arc shy on cash, but have plenty of mus cle and energy, go into the ground as deep as you wish. If the location is well drained no Walls are necessary, just run in en silage; but if there is danger of water, plaster on dirt with cement if dirt will permit; if not, lay up a thin wall and cement. To build a round silo of 2x4 stuff get your lumber and have it dry and free from loose knots; see that the edges are straight, so that when walls are up edges will touch evenly the entire height of silo. In a circle of 14 feet or more it is not necessary to bevel the lumber to fit the circle; it is better not to do so, because the lumber will dry out more quickly when ensilage is removed, which tends to prolong the life of the silo by checking decay. In case beveling is done, don’t bevel the entire stick’s width, only take off bevel from center of timber; this will leave other half slightly separated from it* mate, giving air'a chance to dry Wood.J A tft&vfe'sflo is like a leaky b&fael, it only v.ants hoops driven tight to make it its tight as ever. While the silo has not hot water, it has something just as effective, ensilage, with h is so j. r cent, water, or sap, and hints up to ISO degrees, closing c-vi-rj tv ick. In this way it is air-tight anti you need not worry about your ensilage.—It. it. Rnsliman, Illinois, in Rochester Her ald. Eggs and Egg Farming. Kggs contain four per cent less pro tein. and six per cent less fat than sirloin steak; half as much protein and one-third as much f it as cream cheese; twice as much protein and ten times as much fat as oysters; fuel value, about two-thirds that of beef and one-third that of rich cheese. Ur. S. L. Roberts says it is ener getically maintained by many that the ova of different breeds of the domestic hen vary in nutritive as well as flavor qualities. Chemists who have made analysis of eggs do not find this to be true. They find that the darkshelled product have practically (he same compositions as have the whitesheiled ones. There is no great difference in the composition of the ova front domestic fowls. Those of the hen and the tur key contain a iittle more water and a trifle less fat than those of the due!;, goose and guinea. The product of the hen contains 74 per cent of water; in the others named, it is three to five per cent of fat; duck, goose and tur key, twelve per cent. The Leaf Mining Maggot. Allow ing that the green fly is I he most omnivorous of garden g- sts. it la probable that the leaf mining grub or maggot comes in a good second, hike the green fly it may be entitled to a variety of specific names, and these may be con sidered essential by the scientist; but tlif> gardener has generally only one name for the post, and whether found In the leaves of Celery or Chrysanthemum. Marguerite or Cineraria, he just calls it the leaf mining grub or maggot. This popular name is well deserved, for It Is the habit of the pest to mine or burrow between the layers of tissue which go to make up leaves of all sorts. Fortunately, in so mining it iuuk-s its presence and progress clear by the des truction cf the green coloring matter or chlorophyll which lies in its path. Where this is removed a dirty white or brownish streak of blotch appears in the leaf, as shown in the Primrose leaf. At til end of this streak generally near the footstalk of the attacked leaf, the maggot rests from its labors, and is often so snugly ensconced in the thick llosh of the leaf stall: e.s to escape detection. Badly affected leaves should be removed and burnt, as they do little good on the plant, and only go from bad to worse, until decay sets in. In mild at lacks, or where the blotches are discovered early In tr.e nicking, the grub may be crushed betwene the fingers and thumb without removing the leaf. But frequently with Marguerities. particularly the on-' beta id eally named Chryranthemum anetliifol ium, there is no remedy other than cut ting back the plants so hard as to get rid of the foliage, and making a fresh start. Of preventives soot is the favorite, though perhqps tar water is the more effective. Finely sifted coal ashqs an* al so useful.

I LIVELY TIME Marks Wednesday’s Ses sion of German Reichstag Von Buelow Refuses to Dis cuss Prussian Suffrage In Answer to Interpellation. Caus ing an Uproar. Berlin, Tan. 21.—Chancellor Von Bue low refused categorically in the Reich stag today to reply to a Socialist in terpellation on the subject of the Prus sion suffrage. This precipitated a deaf ening uproar from the members, dur ing which all the ministers left the house. The debate was then continued before the half empty benches. Trouble with the people had been expected, particularly in view of tho street disorders' of yesterday and m order to be prepared for a recurrence of violent encounters between the po lice and the populace the buildings of Parliament were surrounded from early morning with a strong force of police armed with pistols and sabres. The principal thoroughfare of Berlin arc being i>atrolied constantly by police both mounted and on foot. The interpellation was skilfully word ed in order to bring it within the offi cial authority of the Reichstag. The question was framed thus: "On what ground does the chancellor consider manhood suffrage, as already granted for the elections to the Iru perlal Parliament, to be harmful to the interests of one of the federal states.” There was doubt early today as to whether the chancellor would make v. reply or not. It has been ills custom to avoid discussing Prussian atfairs in the Reichstag but some-persons thought ho might empower Dr. Uethmann Hollweg, minister of the interior, to respond for him. Prince Von Buelow opened the Reich stag proceedings with a severe warning against further manifestations, which he declureror William and General Von L*«ew-enfeld is a member of His Majes ty’s military staff. All the officers were in full uniform and were cov ered with decorations. The prisoners, however, appeared in civilian dress.

And he hut been very watchful of all the litigation that has ensued over the employers liability laws the safety appliances law and the law enacted during the time of the second Cleveland administration, forbidding the blacklisting of employes by railroads engaged in interstate Commerce. Richard OIney, once attorney general and then Secretary of State is one of Mr. Moseley's intimate friends; si is Mr. Jurtiee Moody of the Supreme Court. Moseley is a Democrat and was made Secretary of the Commission as such but he knows no politics in his activities for good railroad legislation. He knows the ins and outs of the railroad world, wherein President. Roosevelt has more than once found hint a valuable and useful friend. It was quite a quarter of a century ago that Mr. Moseley Was a log driver on the Carrabasset and the Kennebec. Some uwners of timberland way up in the vicinity of Mount Bigelow thought they could !loi.t logs down the Carra basset, a stream of very rocky and ragged channel and of uncertain flow of water. They operated for cne win ter and as soon as the stream was open in the spring put the logs into the water. They hired a big crew of French Canadians and put them in charge of Moseley. There was never a more tempestuous log driving enterprise in the history of Maine lumbering. There wasn’t en ough water in the stream to float the drive. There were frequent Jams and only a portion of the logs ever reached the Kennebec at the mouth of the Car rabasset a few miles above Madison. Some of the logs remained on the high ledges of the Carrabasset for a dozen years after -Moseley had discharged his French Canadians at Augusta and felt thankful that the roughest and most trying period of his whole life was over. The French Canadians grew discon tented and more than once were on the point of mutiny. The logging com pany, after such a direful experience with tile enterprise, feil into financial straits and this added to the disatis faction of the log drivers. Kven after the logs were out upon the broad Kennebec, the troubles of the drivers and of the Company were not over, for there came a flood and the booms broke and much of the drive was lost down tlie river. That experience was enough for Moseley ai d he quit log driving for ever. His home was in Massachusetts, whither he went and eventually he drifted noun to Washington. Here he was n:ore successful and his nchieve mt nts in the office of Secretary have sufficed alone to make a high and honorable career. Last autumn his health failed and he -.vent back to Massachusetts, where there were reports that lie was in a dangerous condition. He proved the falacy of predictions that he was ‘-.'ill in” and after a few weeks was back in Washington, hale and hearty and mak ing tilings hum around the offices of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Moseley is one of the several very good friends that Eugeim Debs, once head of the American Railway Union has in Washington. Mr. Debs was hero the other day seeking for an authentic copy of the report that President Roosevelt’s commission made on the presence of federal troops at Goldtiold, Nevada. Moseley thought lie could find a report for Debs and he did. The principles enunciated therein about the ahuss of ordering out federa1 troops to suppress strikes were very like what Mr. Debs said at the time of the Chicago strike in the sec ond Cleveland administration. Mr. Debs, sitting in Mr. Moseley’s office told how gratified lie was that virtual ly the words which, as spoken by him were styled demagogic, should now bo spoken by a federal commission of high officials.

The general sentiment of the meet ing seemed to be that while others are doing good work on temperance and prohibition lines, there is still an im portant place in the political world for the Prohibition party to fill and as far as the committee are concerned they propose to fill it to the best of their ability. The vote to hold a State convention was unanimous. Financial support was pledged by many of those present. The meeting adjourned to March 10 at the same place. NEARLY AXPHYXIATED.

Visit at Rio Janeiro Has Been One of the.Happiest Kind. Rio Janeiro, Jan. 22.—To the boom ing of guns and the cheers of thou sands on the accompanying pleasure crafts, the American warships sailed from Rio Janeiro this afternoon, bound for Punt a Arenas, on the Magellan strait. Ten days will bring the fleet almost to the midway point of the 14, 000-mile cruise to San Francisco and .the ships ar.d the men carried with them today the Godspeed and good wishes of the whole Brazilian nation. Not a:i unwanted incident had mark ed the visit of the American ships. They were feasted and feted, officers and men, during their sojourn in Rio and half the population turned out early in the morning to give them a litting send-off. As on the arrival so on its departure the quays, the public buildings and the hills were crowded with thousands watching the warships until they had disappeared through tiie mouth of the bay into the open sea. t Tiu- President of thbCrrepublic. Dr. P. nna, came to Rio Janeiro from Pe tropolis at about It o’clock and pro ceeded on till- yacht Silva down to where the warships were lying. He went aboard the cruiser Benjamin Con stant, which was in readiness to accom pany the American fleet, together with 13 other Brazilian warships, and made a tour of the entire American ships. Accompanied by Admiral Alencar, the minister of marines, and Dr. L. Muller, minister of public works, and other high officials he visited the llagship Minnesota, remaining there over an hour. Admiral Thomas, Capt. Hubbard, commander of the flagship, and the American ambassador, Irving B. Dud ley, received the President with all honors, the band playing the Brazilian national anthem. In the saloon of the Minnesota there was a mutual ex change of greetings. Admiral Thomas making a speech in whicli he expressed his best wishes for the prosperity of Brazil and Iter President and conclud ing: “Brazil, God bless her forever more.” The President responded with a thousand wishes for a good voyage for the splendid fleet, prosperity for the United States and the health of Pres ident Roosevelt. While the President was aboard the Minnesota and during his tour among the vessels, salutes were exchanged, and on his departure from the flagship 21 guns were tired. Dr. Penna then re turned to his yacht, which proceeded to a point off Fort Villegagnon to watch the departure of the ships. Abyui 3 o’clock the American fleet began to move, passing out in single column and inverse order, according to divisions, the Alabama leading. Three divisions of the Brazilian navy follow ed. composed of three battleships, sev en cruisers and six destroyers, and in the vicinity of Fort Villegagnon many steamers circled, having on board thousands of spectators from shore, hundreds of launches and small craft from the sporting clubs, all gaily dec orated, forming a stirring spectacle. Slowly at first the great warships moved but as they disappeared from view they were moving at a 10-knot pace. One by one'as they passed the President’s yacht they saluted with 21 guns, and the forts replied in kind. There was much waving of small flags and handkerchiefs and the cheering seemed incessant, with the noisy blow ing of 100 whistles from the steam craft. About this time a tremendous shower fell but the majority of the spectators held to their posts until the last warship had disappeared on the horizon. Capt. R. B. Ingersoll, chief of staff to Admiral Evans, interviewed before the departure of tho fleet, said that lie had no special plans for the passage of tho ships through Magellan straits. They will go through, however, he said, as a solid fleet. The German cruiser Bremen, which has been here for some time past, and which recently was ordered to re main until the departure of the Amer ican fleet in order to give the German officers additional time to make obser vations, left today along with the American ships.

Washington, Jan. 22.—President Roosevelt today transmitted to the Senate and the House copies of the tariff regulations negotiated some time ago between the United States and Germany, together with a proposed amendment to the customs adminis trative act. putting the same in force as a statute. In the Senate the mes sage aroused lively discussion in ex ecutive session. The remarks were not addressed to the message so much as the policy of considering in executive session and the policy of the President in connection with the agreement. His course not only in negotiating the in strument but in proclaiming it to the world, as lie did last July, was sharp ly criticized. It was declared that the agreement makes changes which are equivalent to legislation and it was pointed out that all legislation affecting the tar iff must, under the constitution, origi nate with the House of Representa tives. Attention was called to the third section of the McKinley law as possi bly permitting the President’s course but his critics contended that his ac tion in the ease had gone farv-beyond the limits permitted by that section. Stress was laid on the fact that the President had not only negotiated the treaty, but that he had given it out as a complete performance without reftr ing it to the Senate for its action. This, the senators seemed to consider as especially reprehensible and far be yond the authority of the Chief Execu tive. It was pointed out that the Ger man Emperor had not only referred the agreement to the Richstag for its ac tion, but that he had even consulted both the local and the national Boards of Trade. Hence the President was charged with being even more auto cratic than the head of the German Empire. It was also declared that un der the system of valuations provided for by the treaty great injustice would be done to the United States. Senator Hepburn made strenuous ob jection when the question was raised that the message was a subject for con sideration in the open Senate instead of behind closed doors. The Idaho sen ator maintained that an open Senate debate would only plunge the Senate into an almost endless tariff discus sion. Senators McClurin, Teller and others called for open session and their pleas finally won. but not before Sen ator Gallingcr and one or two others had delivered their sentiments con cerning the action of an Executive in calling for legislation whenever the si irit moved him. It was finally decided to lefer the message to the committee on finance. If a bill is to be forthcoming it will be from tiiat committee. «4|<4I It is thought by some senators that a resolution by Senator Gallanger which was introduced early in the session may have had something to do with the appearance of the message and a request for legislation in the Gcrman-Ameoican matter at this time. The figures which the Gallenger reso lution oroduced about a week ago showed quite a reduction in the value of German exports to the United States since the regulations were passed and since the system of inspec ting consignments was discontinued by our consular olficers and agents. Alter referring to the proposed amendment to the treaty the Presi dent says in his message dated Jan. 22, 1908: "I earnestly recommend to the Con gress the enactment into law of this amendment at an early date. Besides promoting harmonious relations be tween the contracting parties to the agreement in question, I regard the proposed legislation as a meritorious measure for the improvement of our customs administrative act, the pro visions of which are applicable to im portations front all countries alike.” An accompanying communication ad dressed to the President by Sec. Root and dated. Jan. 9. 1908, transmits copies of the new temporary commercial agreement between the United States and Germany, signed April 22 and May 21, 1907, together with the report of tiie American commission on which the agreement is based. IN NO DANGER. Canal Can Be Amply Protected by Guards at the Locks. Washington, Jan. 22.—At the hear ings of the Senate committee on intor oceanic canals which continued to day. Colonel Coethals declared that the Panama canal would be reasonably safe from military invasion and said that the chances of crippling the canal by spies armed with dynamite are small, providing armed guards are maintained at the Miraflores and Gatun locks. The change of plans concerning the locks on the Pacific side resulting in their removal to a considerable dis tance from the coast was approved by Col. Goethals as a military necessity. "The entire United States fleet,” sc id ne, "can be accommodated at one time in Gatun lake, when completed.” ON MISINFORMATION. Many of the Published Articles About Navy Are Incorrect. Washington, Jan. 22.—Rear Admiral Capps, chief of the bureau of con struction of the navy appeared before the House committee on naval affairs, and followed up his statements of yesterday in refutation of published criticisms and charges against methods used by the bureau of con struction in building battleships. He discussed especially matters pertain ing to free-board, turret ports, and water-line construction. Admiral Capps said that intelligent criticism is always welcomed by tech nical experts and has a beneficlent effect, but that criticism founded on misinformation Is creative of nothing but public distrust. He said that in the main the articles which have been published in newspapers and maga-’ zines condemnatory to naval methods of construction In this country and in Great Britain have been founded on misinformation. The charge that turret ports are made so large that when a vessel is proceeding at full speed bow waves the handling room, was just Insofar as it applied to the battleships Kcar sarge and Kentucky, designed in 1900, but that since then this fault has been obviated. Admiral Capps is preparing, and the bureau will presently publish an of ficial statement covering all of the de tails involved In these charges. To Reorganize State Militia.

Acme Milling Co. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. FULLER-HOLWAY CO. DISTRIBUTORS PARKER SCORES BRYAN Present Words Not In Accord With Those in the Year 1904. Albany, Jan. 22.—Former Chief Jus tice Alton B. Parker of the court of appeals, who was Democratic candi date in 1904 for President of the United States, was in Albany this af ternoon in attendance upon the court. His attention was called to an extract from the speech of William J. Bryan before the Democratic members of the Kentucky Legislature Tuesday in which Mr. Bryan was quoted as say ing that in 1904 he "took his medicine in Parker. Parker was the man above all others I did not want." "What a pity.” said Judge Parker, "that Mr. Bryan failed to be equally frank in 1903. Had he done so the sit uation of the party would be vastly better than it is. There were but few Democrats in that year who thought it wise to have a third term candidate. But every man of sense knew that unless a man could be found who would receive Mr. Bryan's support his warm personal following would seek revenge for the defeats of 1896 and 1900. "So statesmen, politicians and inter ested citizens sought diligently to find some one that he would support. To some at least he said he would bolt Kx-President Cleveland. Governor Hill, Senator Gorman and Judge Gray, but that it would be hard to oppose Parker, as Parker had supported him. "This attitude induced the impression among many that my nomination would be acceptable to Mr. Bryan as any except his own. That impression led to pressure upon me from many quarters to change my plans for life. And it contributed in no small measure to the movement which led to the con trol ot'/the convention. “Subsequent events showed that Mr. Bryan had not been entireiy open with those who had consulted him. For when to his surprises delegates began to be elected favorable to my nomina tion—When Indeed the tide had grown too strong to be breasted, he. started out on his famous tour of denunciation. The dragon's teeth which he then sow ed, yielded an abundant harvest—Aye, all that he could wish. “But it would liavo been very much better for the party had he said in 1903 before sentiment had crystalIzozd as he says now: "Parker is the man above all others I don't want." FIRE IN CHELSEA, MASS. About $40,000 Damage—Three Fire men Overcome—Woman Breaks Leg.
