"Sqnash," he said, "is simpler than racquets or court tennis, but not many people play it and not many understand it, for, like the other two games, it requires for itself the build­ ing of a pretty expensive |ndoor <;ourt which can be used for no other iKir- pose." Mr. Whitney laughed. "Though few understand squash,** he said, "many pretend they do." "Thus, at the last tournament I at­ tended I heard a pretty girl say in het loud, clear voice: " 'Isn't this grand? I love squash!

LOU 18 TO MEXICO CITY Elegant Trains Make the Trip With­ out Change in 60 Hours. In the Latin-American republic be­ yond the Rio Grande lies the wonder- land of the present day tourists, as well as the richest field of Investment that now challenges the attention of American capital and enterprise. Only a few years since Mexico was looked upon as a country too remote for the average traveler to entertain hopes of crossing its threshold; to-day we are told that on and after January 16th its capital city will be but 60 hours distant from St. Louis. Beginning <Jn that date a semi-weekly train service will be established, via the Iron Mountain Route, the Texas and Pa­ cific and the International and Great Northern, representatives of the Gould interest, and the National Lines of Mexico beyond the "Laredo Gateway," leaving St. Louis at 9 a. m. each Tuesday and Friday, and reach­ ing the City of Mexico on the Thurs­ day and Sunday following. The train will be equipped with compartment and standard drawing room sleepers and observation and dining cars. Its remarkably speedy schedule is made possible by doing away with all changes or layovers, and, for the first time since the sister republics were joined together by links of glistening steel, an interchange of visits across the national boundary means simply the journey of a few hours, surround­ ed by all the pleasureable amenities of modern travel. Much of good can be expected from these changed con- ditions The people of Mexico have long evidenced an enlightened appre­ ciation of the kindly Interest of their northern neighbors in their country and its history, institutions and won derful resources, while on our part there Is an acknowledged recognition of the fact that a closer social and commercial relationship with that progressive nation is in every way desirable. The inauguration of this new train service Is a step in the right direction and meets the needs of the hour. It is typical of the tire­ less interest shown by the roads con­ cerned in the upbuilding of the great Southwest, and will doubtless receive the hearty encouragement and sup port of the traveling public.

"Father Taylor was a famous sailor preacher in Boston many years ago," said an old resident of Boston. "On one occasion an opulent merchant of the Hub had honored the meeting with his presence and made a speech extolling the kindness of Boston peo­ ple in building Father Taylor's chapel and their consideration for the. poor sailors. "When he had finished Father Tay­ lor remarked quietly, 'Is there any other old sinner from uptown who would like to say a word before we go on with the meeting?' No other old Isinner responded. "Another time in the midst of an ex­ citing State campaign Father Taylor took politics into the pulpit in this wise. He prayed, 'O Lord, give us good men to rule over us, pure men who fear Thee, religious men, temper­ ate men, who--pshaw, Lord, what's the use of veering and hauling and boxing around the compass? Give us George N. Biggs for Governor, amen." "His prayer was answered." Kipling on Physicians. Rudyard Kipling admires medical men, according to the Medical Age. At a dinner he said he had been thrown much In the company of physi­ cians. He had seen them going to certain death with no hope of reward, because it was "business." He had also seen then; handling cholera and smallpox, and, when dying therefrom, wiring for a substitute. He had seen them in Vermont manage a practice twenty miles in each direction, driv­ ing horses through eight feet of snow to attend an operation ten miles away, and digging their horses out of the •now and proceeding. Everybody Knew Him. "Is Touchem one of your prominent citizens?" asked the stranger within the gates. "Well, I can't say as to his proml nence," replied the native, "but he Is undoubtedly the best known man in the village." ."What do you mean by that?** Quer­ ied the stranger. "I mean," answered the native, "that he has to go out of town every time he has occasion to borrow mon ey."- Every housekeeper should know thai if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.--ope full pound--white all other Cold Water Starches are put up In %-pound packages, and the price Is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch Is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package It js because he has a stock on hand /which he wishes to dispose of before he puts In Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters ana figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoy­ ance of the Iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. English as 8he Is 8poke. A young woman who was coming to America for the first time to meet some relatives whom she had never seen was regretting to a steamer ac­ quaintance her lack of familiarity with American forms of greeting. She was a German, and her English was unusually quaint. The man under­ took to teach her some of the speeches New Yorkers use In common when greeting each other after long separation. That he was a humorist of the old-fashioned sort was shown when the steamer arrived at the dock, for the first words the German girl greeted her male relatives with were: "By jlminy crickets, I'm dog-goned glad to see you!" And she couldn't quite understand just why they should look so surprised. Much Noise; Little Thought. Senator Dryden of- New York said of a certain article on life Insurance In a review: "It Is like the wild waves." "Like the wild waves?" "Yes. Precisely. Two philosophers, a male and a female, were walking on a deserted beach. The female philos­ opher murmured dreamily : " 'What are the wild waves say­ ing?' "The male philosopher answered In a hoarse, gruff voice: "'Nothing, Matilda. They are like some people we know. They make s lot of noise, but they don't say any­ thing.'" Coffee Drinking Borne people question the statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands proves the general state­ ment true and physicians have records of great numbers of cases that add to the testimony. The following Is from the Rockford, CL. Register-Gazette: Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora has been treating one of the queerest Ones of lost eyesight ever in history. The patient Is O. A. Leach of Beach county, and in the last four months he had doctored with all of the specialists about the country and has at last re­ turned home with the fact impressed on his mind that his case is incurable. A portion or the optic nerve has been ruined, rendering his sight so limited that he Is unable to see any­ thing before him, but he can see pla}n- ly at tb»/*}• «* him. Tbere have been but few cases of its kind before, and they have been caused by whisky or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been a great cof­ fee drinker, and the specialists have decided that the case has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night According to the records of the specialists of this country this Is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee. The nerve is ruined beyond aid and his case is Incurable. The fact that makes the case a queer one is that the sight forward has been lost and the side sight has been retained. Accord­ ing to the doctor's statement, the young man will have to give up cof­ fee er the rest of his sight will fol­ low and the entire nerve be ruined.-- Let It be remembered that may be attacked in one case and the stomach in another, while in others it may be kidneys, heart, bowels or gen­ eral nervous'prostration. The remedy is obvious and should be adopted be­ fore too late. Quit ooffee, If you show Incipient disease. ' It is easy If one can have well- boiled Postum Food Coffee to serve for the hot morning beverage. The withdrawal of the old kind of coffee that Is doing the harm and the sup­ ply of the elements In the Postum which Nature uses to rebuild the broken down nerve cells, insures a quick return to the old Joy of strength and health, and it's well worth while to be able again to "do things" and feel well. There's a reason for POSTUM Congressional Proceedings Tuesday, January 1«, 190S. A discussion of the railroad rate ques­ tion was precipitated in the Senate when Mr. Pulton took the floor to ex­ plain an amendment to the Dolliver bill, offered by him, giving courts of justice authority to modify orders of the Inter­ state commerce commission Imposing an unreasonable rate. Mr. Scott made a speech In support of the merchant ma­ rine shipping bill and Mr. Heyburn gave notice that to-morrow he will ask the Senate to name a day for voting on the pure food measure. The bill appropriat­ ing $500,000 for a memorial bridge across the Potomac River at Washington was passed. At -4:02 p. m. the Senate went into executive session and at 4:10 ad­ journed. The Philippine tariff bill was passed by the House substantially as It came from the ways and means committee. The vote was 258 to 71. Rice was made subject to the same tariff as sugar and tobacco, 25 per cent of the Dingley rates. Many amendments were launched only to be defeated after a strenuous debate. The Democratic substitute found support only with the minority and was defeated 231 to 106. An effort to commit the United States to the policy of granting independence to the Philippines as soon as the natives can be prepared for self, government was lost. The House agreed to & resolution asking the Secretary ot State to transmit to the House all tne correspondence and dispatches between this country and Austria-Hungary con­ cerning the arrest, detention and fine of Marcus Braun, special immigrant commissioner of the United States. At 6:20 o'clock the House adjourned. Wednesday, January, 17. 1906. The recent forcible removal from the White House of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the subject of an emphatic de­ nunciation by Mr. Tillman in the Senate to-day. His remarks called out remon­ strances from Messrs. Hale, Hopkins and Daniel, and led to a sudden adjournment Previously a resolution calling on the Secretary of War for information as Jto whether any memtffer of the Philippine commission or any officer of the army or navy owns any land in the Islands, par­ ticularly with reference to the location of proposed railroads, was adopted. The Philippine tariff bill was received from the House and sent to the committee on Philippine Islands. The Senate went Into executive session at 2:67 p. m. and at 3:03 adjourned. The House to-day took favorable ac­ tion on 166 pension bills. Forty-two of the beneficiaries are blind and sixty-eight paralysed. At 2:35 p. m. the House ad­ journed. Thursday, January It, IMS. In the Senate to-day Mr. Tlilman pre­ sented his resolution directing an investi­ gation into the removal of Mrs. Minor Morris from the White House. It was laid on the table by a vote of 54 to 8, without debate. The rest of the day was devoted to speeches by Mr. McCumber advocating tne pure food bill and by Mr. Mallory opposing the shipping bill. The Senate went into executive session at 4:53 p. m. and at 6 p. m. adjourned until Monday. The House to-day ordered an investiga­ tion to ascertain the amount needed an­ nually to preserve the frigate Constitu­ tion and paid a tribute to the old ship. Nearly all the rest of the session was de­ voted to the perfection and passage of bill arranging for the final disposition oi the affairs of the five civilised tribes in Indian Territory. It provides for con­ cluding the enrollment of Indians of the tribes and allotment of lands to them. Many restrictions are imposed. Mr. Lit- tauer reported the urgent deficiency bill and gave notice that it would be called up for consideration to-morrow. At p. m. the House adjourned. Friday, January 1V, 140K. The urgent deficiency bill was under discussion in the house for the Ave hours in committee of the whole. Mr. Llt- tauer pointed out the failure of the legis­ lation of last year to curb heads of de­ partments in their demands for de­ ficiency supplies. He explained the more stringent measure recommended In the bill and said that several requests for money had been refused by the commit­ tee. The one specific illustration of the need for reform which was cited was the appropriation of $2,615 for a portrait of ex-Attorney General Knox, which Attor­ ney General Moody had paid for out dt the contingent fund of the department of Justice and for which the bill makes pro­ vision to reimburse. Under the new lim­ itations this use of the contingent fund will not be permitted. This vipw was acquiesced in by Mr. Brundfdge of Ar­ kansas. Mr. Livingston of Georgia, and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, all minority members of the appropriations commit­ tee. Mr. Burton or Ohio concluded the debate for the day with general obser­ vations on the necessity or closer guard of the expenditure. There was no session of the senate. Ssturday, January 20, 1906. Abuses In the expenditure of appropria­ tions was the text of the discussions In the house to-day during the consideration of the urgency deficiency bill. Little of the urgent deficiency bill, which will be the topic for Monday. The $2,615 Knox portrait was again a topic of un­ favorable comment and department heads generally came in for criticism. The most animated debate took place on the amendment to increase the amount for the transportation of silver coin. One argument advanced was that to cut out this appropriation meant distress to the interior sections of the country, where silver money is used, but the opponents of the amendment declared that the appro­ priation was abused by the express com­ panies. for wnose benefit. It was stated, the appropriation was made. The amend­ ment was lost by a vote of 70 to 74. A bill was passed providing for the holding of a federal court at Grand Island. Neb. At 5 p. m. the house adjourned until Monday. There was no session of the senate. TWCLVB PERSON8 ARE DROWNED One Rescued Aftsr Being Adrift lit Boat Plfty«tlx Hours.

DRIVE OUT AMERICAN 8HARPERS. PAIN m THE JOINTS Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr. Williams* rink Pilis Make New Blood. The first sign of rheumatism is fre­ quently a pain and swelling in one of the joints. If not combated iu the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreads, affecting other joints and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at­ tacks the heart and is quickly fatal. The one remedy that has oured rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills expel the poison from the blood and restore the system, so that the poisonous matter is passed off as nature intended. Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, of No. 180 Mon­ mouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered for about three years from rheumatism before she found "this cure. She says: "It began with a qneer feeling in my fingers. In a little time it seemed as though the fiuger joints had lumps on them and I could not get my gloves on. "Then it grew worse aud spread to my knees. I could not stand up and I could not sleep nights. My suffering was more than I can describe. I took a great deal of medicine, but nothing oven gave me relief until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ! • I read an account of a cure in a oase that was exactly like mine and my hus­ band got me some of the pills. I took them for three weeks before I really felt better but they finally cured me." Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 807 of New York, substantiates his wife's statement and says that she now walks without difficulty, whereas a year ago he was compelled to pnsh her about in a wheeled chair. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For further information, address the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Sche­ nectady, N.T. 8arcastie Boarder.

COLORADO FARM PRODUCTS. The plodding farmer may be slow, but in the end, in his race with other lines of Industry that seem to hold out brighter promises, he always seems to come out as did the patient tortoise in his race with the hare. The latest lllustfktion of this comes from Colorado, a state which only a few years ago was dazzling the world with the riches of its gold and silver mines. The annual reviews of Colorado's progress show that In 1905 the state produced the greatest amount of gold of any year in its history, a total of $29,000,000. But in the same year, the grain and potatoes, hay and other produce from Colorado farms aggre­ gated more than $40,000,000 in value. Silver was higher in value than for several years, and the production of this metal in Colorado rose to $11,- 000,000, b,ut the combined product of the orchards and sugar beet patches beat the total of silver by $1,500,000. Five million dollars' worth of lead was marketed, which Is just about equal to the value of the fat lambs shipped. The whole value ot the product of the metalliferous mines of the state was $43,000,000. The products of the farms aggregated more than $70,000,000. More money is being invested in agricultural projects in Colorado than in the devlopment of mines. Reser­ voirs and canals originally planned for placer mining have been diverted to irrigation, and the next few years seem like to see the area of highly productive farming lands in the state more than doubled. The "man with the hoe" seems ̂ to have secured a start over the man with the hammer and drill, which the latter will never be able to overcome, unless some very remarkable new discoveries of mines are made.
