I Better than all the cough medicines you coaid buy, and far more effective, la a simple remedy that you can make ■t home In five minutes. A whole pint of it—enough to last a family a long time—coats only 64 cents. It Is pleas ant to taka. It will usually conquer a deep-seat ed cough In 24 hours. Two or three doses usually overcome an ordinary cough. It Is also splendid for colds, bronchial trouble, incipient lung trou ble. whooping cough, etc. This is the .recipe: Granulated Bugar Syrup 13 1-2 oz Plnex fl-2o* Take a pint of Granulated Sugar, add l«i cup of water, stir and let boll Just a moment. Put the 2 1-2 os. Pinex (•fty cento* worth) In a pint bottle and fill it up with the Syrup. If kept wall corked It will never spoil. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours aa required. Granulated Bugar Syrup is a sim ple but etoellent sedative. Plnex is the most valuable concentrated rom »pound of Norway White Pine Extract i and la rich in all the medicinal ele f manta of the pine. Colds and coughs are almost unknown In the great pine forests, and it Is in these woods that consumption has been most success fully treated, the very air being charg. ed with the chemical virtues of the pine. There are many pine oil and ptne tar preparations, but noue of these compare with the real Plnex it -1 self.

It all happened in a moment And to this day. the Honorable Jack Ray mead. who was driving a.ung a pleus ant English lane, cannot explain how 'the accident arose. A moment of hes itation. a slight swerving—a crash* And here was his brand new Paris I ian automobile overturned in the ditch, barely a square foot left sound and unsplintered. His beautiful American companion— the woman he loved —lay faint niid the social gaieties of the Paris embassy for a g«>od winter's hunting In Foxshlrej and had rom** to stop with Countess of lirlcester, whose hus band was master of the smart* st pack of hounds In the country. Jack Ravmead had been her most devoted admirer since that first day 4 M. !■!_■ when she rode Into the field "sitting on her horse as lightly and daintily as a butterfly.” as one sentimental hunting man —a fierce rival of Ray mead —put it. At each succeeding meeting of the 'season ttie Hon. Jack had ridden close beside her He knew every Inch of the cotintry. the short cuts, the ditches and fences "safe for a lady.” And on many notable occasion* Trinda Trenton had been the only woman “in at the death,” the Hon. Jack invariably at her side. His brother bachelors, jealous of Jack's privileges, agreed that "she must find his eternal escort a beastly bore.” lJut she showed no signs of bore dom. And her collection of silver mounted fox brushes was the envy of every "mighty huntress” in the dis trict. I Hut none of the sharp feminine eyes that watch'd had been able to detect her in giving Ray mead the least mat rimonial encouragement. Ne vert he less, the sporting spirit of the neigh borhood was aroused, and betting ran high as to whether “our Jack.” the pride and best parti of the county, would "make the running" with the American j ah cbe mothers of marriageable daughters—to say nothing of the daughters—united in a sporting, j though most un-Christian prayer that he would “come a cropper” in the con test. Why should an American girl i come, see. conquer and carry off the best matrimonial prize in their field? It would be easier almost to relinquish him to a friend and neighbor! The Hon. Jack himself was most despondent. Trinda was always friend ly—much too friendly—he reflected de -1 spalringiy. But there has been no sign of senti ment or deeper feeliug in her attitude toward him She was gay and charming—but she was that to everybody. “Perhaps American girls have a dif ferent way of love-making,” was his comforting conclusion. And now the sweetest words he had ever heard from a woman's lips were singing in his heart. "Jack, why don't you speak? You must know that i love you—” "Why don't the heavens fall when delightful surprises of this kind come to a man—” “You kuow that I love you.” And Jack looked with tender man liness at the graceful form lying so I still on his improvised bed of cush ions. Her shining golden hair fell loose from Its pins as he gently re moved her dainty bunting hat. The blue veined lids hung heavily over the lovely eyes. She looked like a beauti ful tit of white alabaster. What a delight, he thought when she was recovered to ask his goddess to become his wife. And he would never breathe a hint of her sweet, [unconscious confession. Os all the beautiful countesses of his race and name there was none to [compare with her in the family por trait gallery at home. He was the only wm of Lord I,as singtoii. and l« c-tmrse of time bis love ly Arnenean bride would do the hon ors and hospitalities of the old castle. At the present moment, the Honor j able Jack s east P-s were very much in the air Hut he was suddenly startled nut of his roseate visions by the prose of a pai k of hounds In full cry. The pi( turexque posse came quick ly toward them, most of the field in bright "pink" coats and full bunting kit. good luck would have It. the scent had ied the pack to the scene i of the accident and two surgeons were "out." with the field. "Slight shock. Nothing serious, a few days In bed.” was the doc tor's diagnosis of the rase. "You must put her up at shire f'ourt.' Ounean H*>mewlmt mischievously to the lovesick Roy mend. The i-outt was Jack's own llt.tle J bachelor hunting box—known anion, his friendk as “the house that Jack built.” and was within easy driving I distance.

Cyril J. Custance—Jack glanced at tho card the stranger gave him —had bet ter routine his energies to the United States embassy —thut was the end of the business. But Ray mead soon recovered hi* good temper. He could afTord to be generous to a poor devil who was out side the gates of Paradise. Cyril J. Custance had never heard Trlnda say: “Jack, why don't you speak. You know that I love you." “Don't wait lunch for me." said tho general, when the party reached the court. "I must *ee my little daughter right away." Lunch was just over, tl e cigarette and coffee stage reached, and Kay mead was on the point of deciding that (his new American guest was the "tin esf, handsomest chap he had ever met." when the general came back, smiling and genial. “Jai k.” he began. “Trlnda says I'm to take you to her at once." j Both men started up eagerly. “I guess she means me,” said Jack Custance quietly.

Andrei Schmidt, of the FI rat Dragoon*, reported at police headquarters today, being en route to Warsaw, where hls regiment Is now stationed. The sergeant will attend the hundred and fiftieth Jubilee of tho First Dragoons. "According to papers submitted by Schmidt, he was born In the town of Schaulen, Sept. 5, 1772, of German emi grant pareuta who had Joined the Orthodox church. He entered upon military service Aug. 6, 1796. Ills mili tary papers show that two years later, in July, he crossed the Alps under the command of Field Marshal Suworoff. During the war carried into Russia by the Emperor Napoleon, Schmidt earned the Cross of St. George for exceptional lravery. "During the I’euilan campaign of 1827 he captured a Turkish standard and was again decorated at the front. In 1821 he was one of the first to mount the defenses of Prague, and a year later he earned more decorations and promotions by gallant behavior at [the storming of Warsaw. Subsequent ly he distinguished himself at the cap ture of Tiraspol, again at the storming of Malakoff hill, and again by saving the life of Admiral Machlnoff during the war in the Crimea. "In 1857 he retired from the service with a life pension of 1.200 rubles per year.

The Truth No Matter fVhom It Helps o r Hurts.

The reasons advanced by The World for wanting to see Mr. J Roosevelt in the senate are all sound and good, and, there is answer ed most satisfactorily, also, a question which has long been before the nation: “What shall we do with our ex-presidents?” With no disrespect to the profession of journalism. The World declares that “it is not seemly that even so virtuous a periodical asi The Outlook should be able to capitalize a president’s prestige and popularity and use him to advertise its business four months in ad vance of his retirement from the White House.” “The president is the one constitutional officer in the American government who is the representative of all the people, and after his term has expired his influence and experience should be retained by the people in the interest of the general welfare.” “Least of all should he be exploited like a patent liver pill or a new skin soap.** The World emphasizes also the invaluable experience gained by a man who has been president of the United States as fitting him for this place and for participation in the nation’s counsels. He has a knowledge of foreign relations which is of the utmost importance to the senate in the consideration of treaties. His familiarity with all the administrative departments makes him a veritable cyclopaedia of information in regard to many ques tions of legislation. “Whether his own policies be good or bad, whether his judg ment be sound or weak,” says The World, “his experience in the White House is a great national asset which the American people •hould have the benefit of.** In all this The Times heartily concurs. But to our mind there is one other and a better reason, great enough in itself to demand the presence of Mr. Roosevelt in the tipper house of congress as the representative of New York and his country. And that reason is this: ELIHU ROOT WILL BE PLATTS SUCCESSOR IF MR. ROOSEVELT IS NOT. We have too many Roots in this body at predfcnt for the good of the country and too few men on the Roosevelt order, of whom we could never get too many. Root would prove only a hindrance to what the Republican party has promised to accomplish under Taft. A* FURTHER hindrance, rather, in addition to the presence there of James Schoolcraft Sherman, who will sit over the delibera tions of the senate by reason of having been made vice-president py Uncle Joe Cannon. BjkWith Sherman and Aldrich in the upper house and Cannon, j&K||galle and Payne in the lower house, the Lord knows that Mr. Bjjjfr will have a job on his hands and will need all the help he can The World is not bound by party nor in its following to Roose velt; just the opposite, as a matter of fact. It is an independent newspaper of Democratic leanings and blue-blooded Eastern tendencies. And its “Senator Roosevelt” suggestion should be the more wel come to the country at large because of that fact. Is The World another star of promise in the golden heavens of the East, leading us to a savior in the political manger and to the preservation of true American ideals^—equal representation, liberty and justice to all? Undoubtedly Theodore Roosevelt aspires to more of the pres idency, which aspiration quite naturally would contemplate a season of retirement rather than active public service, but his duty to his country demands this sacrifice on his part. He should elect to serve as senator and Kern and Bryan should be sent there to sit with him. From Another Point of View The season for mistaking hunters for deer is now on In full swing.

I ICCORDINO to the advertlse liX I ments of a railroad company, the hunter bent on African conquests can sit in a dining car and pot Hons across his champagne glass. This is a mush better way than racing the pres ident of beasts to a tree and trying to discourage him of life by dropping matches in his name. It also gives the quarry a fair chance to get back at the hunter, because a bad shot might easily spoil all the enjoyment of a breakfast. Furthermore. It is very Irritating to reach a station and, on piling out for dinner, find that the chef had last been seen going north in the tonneau of a lion. And sometimes, when the hunter Is anxious to Interview a lion, the lion holds calmly aloof. Nothing could be more disheartening than to have a round-trip ticket, good for 3u days, and to wander all that time over the veldt without even seeing the noble animal in a circus. It is a curious fact, by the way. that In places where Hons, elephants, tigers and other cir cua animals ure plentiful and cheap there are no circuses. And in the same places, where there Is every thing necessary to equip a complete menagerie, except, possibly, the Ice cream booths, there are no menager ies. All of which shows that civilization should do something for sport.

“THE KIND HE HAS ALWAYS BOUGHT.” his approval of animate nature by i letting daylight Into a deer with an i arrow’ or cheering up a rabbit with a club. The sportsman of today writes a screed against women who wear dead birds In their hats, and then tries to ascertain how much lead a snipe can carry without doing an aero plane Into the mud. How much better would be an arti ficial giraffe than the present ungain ly and scarce animal. One could be rigged to run parallel with the train, and each spot could be fixed I 'so as to ring a bell when hit. The sound of the bell is one of the most enjoyable things about shooting, and cannot at present be found when hunting wild game. By this means the advantages of the gallery and the open air could be combined. The same plan might be followed with elephants. The lo comotives of the road could be built In the shape of elephants, and thus could be doing useful work while the hunters waited along the line for a shot. If these methods are adopted It will yet be nect?ysary to exterminate the present wild population of the Jungle. One way would be to start a fat man In front of each beast of prey. The fat man would run until he reached the coast, where he would plunge Into the water and swim out until the pur suing animal would drown. Os course. In some instances the man would trip on something, which would necessitate the employment of another decoy, but this‘wouldn't be very expensive, if natives were used. Perhaps a better plan would be to anchor a balloon over every lion and let him break his neck looking up for food. With the artificial game will come a great improvement in trophies. Per sons who like to have their chairs surmounted with the reproachful look ing head of a moose with bilious glsss eyes will be able to Indulge their whims much more easily and much more satisfactorily with the metallic heads obtained from the Iron animals they lay low. Heads can be cast in any sipe or shape, and they can be given real cheerful expressions, some thing rarely seen In the semt-uatural ones now affected. In the case of fur bearing animals, a suitable jacket couhl, of course, be provided. A musty bearskin rug can never look so taste ful as one properly woven on aorae good sporting mill loom. With these artificial aids hunting would soon be brought abreast of the other pursuits of clvlllxatlon.

Mr. President —If we were to beai that large numbers of the inhabitants of Aifla. or Africa, or Australia, or the remotest part of the globe were daily dying with hunger and famine no matter what their color, what their religlou, or whnt their civilization we should deeply lament their condi tion. and bo irrealstibiy prompted to mitigate, if possible, their sufferings. But it is not the distresses of au> such distant regions that have sum moned us together on this occasion. The appalling and heartrending dis tresses of lrelund and irishmen form the object of our present consultation. That Ireland, which has been, in all the vicissitudes of our national exist ence, our friend and has ever extend ed to us her warmest sympathy— those Irishmen who, in every war in which we have been engaged, on every battlefield, from Quebec to Monterey, have stood by us, shoulder to shoul der, and shared In all the pel Us and fortunes of the conflict. The imploring appeal comes to us from the Irish nation, which is so identified with our own as to be al most part and parcel of ours, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. Nor is it any ordinary case of human mis ery, a few isolated cases of death by starvation, that we are called upon to consider. Famine is stalking abroad throughout Ireland; whole towns, counties—countless human beings, of PRINTERS GET READY FOR THE EDITORIAL BIG STICK The busiest place in town yesterday was the composing room of The Out look. where Theodore Roosevelt is to serve as Special Contributing Editor after he quits the presidency. "Hey. Bill," said the foreman to his assistant, as he lifted his nose from the dusty box in which the capita! letters are kept. "What's the matter now!” asked the assistant, as be tofcsed a stereo type cut of the Dove of Peace out of the back window and kicked a "God Bless Our Home” motto under the desk. "The ‘M’ caps; where are the *M’ caps?” fried the foremun. in accents wild. "How can we spell Malefactor with only four ‘M’ caps In the shop?’’ •‘We’re shy on —and and and t and too.” shouted the "sub” In terror, hs he balanced himself on his head and squinted under the cases. "No double crosses neither,” hoarsely yelled the galley-boy. "Where Is that shorter and uglier word?” excitedly Inquired the fore man. "I saw it In the box a year or so ago. all set up and ready for action. We’ll need three bushels o' them, in all styles of type, Including italics and Roman capitals.” 0 Striking Points in Mr, Taft's Statement Os His Purposes TRUBTB—I Intend to carry out to the beat of my ability the Roosevelt policies that work for the correc tion of evils in business without ruining the business Itself. T£> earlier all combinations of wealth understand that under a Republican administration they will be held strictly accountable to law. .the ear lier will business conditions get on a gelid basis. LABOR —My purpose Is to continue the course of President Roosevelt in doing everything possible to put labor on an equality with capital and to give labor an equality of op portunity in the negotiations be tween them. Thursday, November 12, 1908 every age, and of both sexes —at this very moment are starving, or In dan ger of starving to death. Behold the wretched Irish mother, with haggard looks and streaming eyes, her famished children clinging to her tattered garments and gazing piteously In her face, begging for food! And see the distracted husband and father, with pallid cheeks, standing by, horror and despair in his counten ance —tortured with the reflection that he can afford uo succor or relief to the dearest objects of his heart, about to be snatched forever from him by the most cruel of all deaths! This is no fancy picture; but, if we ure to credit the terrible accounts which roach us from that theater of misery and wretchedness, is one of dully occurrence. Indeed, no imagina tion can conceive, no tongue express, no pencil paint the horrors of the scenes which nre there daily exhibited. Shall starving Ireland plead in vain? Shull the young and the old —dying wonu-n and children—stretch out their hands to us for, bread and And no re lief? Will not this great city, the world's storehouse of an exhaust less supply of all kinds of food, borne to Its overflowing warehouses by the Father of Waters, act, on this occasion in a manner worthy of its high destiny, and obey the noble impulse* of the generous hearts of Its blessed Inhabit ants? "Help!” shrieked the assistant, leap ing in frenzy from case to case. ”We got but three T caps. The rest ate little ill’s, to spell it’ with. ”1 can see our finish if the Special Contributor hits the shop with that layout on our hands.” remarked the foreman, darting for the ’phone. He called up a type foundry and gave the following order: Ten thousand capital Is to spell ”1 am It” with. Three hundred pounds of exclama tion points. Ten quarts of dashes and asterisks. Twenty-three crates of shorter and uglier words, one-half in caps, one quarter In Italics, the rest ussorted. Five hundred stock cuts such as are used by patent medicine men and ven dors of firearms. One of tbe compositors then nailed to the wall anew motto: HE HATH SAID IN HIS HEART’* ALL MEN ARE LIARS (BUT ME.) "That will make the Special Con tributor feel at borne,” he said.—New York World. TRAIFF—I believe In the revision of the tariff and shall do what 1 can within the jurisdiction of the execu tive office to bring It about. Tho Republican party has pledged itself to protect every industry and to give every industry that needs pro tection the same measure of It POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS—I believe that the next congress will patus the bill providing for postal savings bunks. PROSPERITY—I believe thoroughly that tbe return of the Republican party to power will mean the im mediate return of prosperity. Getting the Local Color.
