There is no other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones- -whether it be for the newborn babe +or the growing child the Tablets always do good. They are absolutely free from opiates or erther harmful drugs and the mother can always feel ;safe in using them. Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John Armour, R. R. 1, South Monaghan, Ont.. says: -"We have three fine !heal't`hy children, to whom, when a medicine is needed, we have given .only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tab- lets are the hest medicine you can keep in any home where there are young children." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the stomach and bowels; banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break up colds and simple fever and make teething easy. They are sold by medicine dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents $ box from The Dr. Williams' Medi - eine Co., Brockville, Ont. DISTINGUISHED MEN REJECTED BY CLUBS They form a very distinguished list, those men who during the last hun- elred years have been rejected by ;clubs for which they were duly pro - yawed and seconded, says a writer in T.P.'s Weekly. Novelists, whose 'works are now of classical perman- ence, poets, artists, statesmen and -philanthropists have been the object .of the petty spite of the crank and the insane jealousy of mediocrities goosing as their rivals. When Thack- eray's name was first submitted to the Athenaeum Committee in 1850 fer .Election under the rule which provides for "the annual election, without re- eourse to ballot, of a limited number .of persons of distinguished eminence in science, literature, art, or the pub - Wrigley's, you are getting benefit as well. lic services," one member voted a- gainst him, and as unanimity was necessary he was rejected. Thackeray, good-humoredly accept- ed the rebuff. Writing to Abraham Hayward, he said: "I was quite pre- pared for the issue of the kind effort made at the Athenaeum in my behalf; indeed, as a satirical writer, I rather wonder that I have not made more enemies than I have, I don't mean enemies in a bad sense, but men con- scientiously opposed to my style, art, (pinions, impertinences, and so forth. There must be thousands of men to whom the practice of ridicule must be very offensive; doesn't one see such in society, or in one's own family?— persons whose nature was not gifted with a sense of humor. Such a man would be wrong not to give me a blackball, or whatever it is called—a negatory nod of his honest, respect- able, stupid old head. And I submit to his verdict without the slighteEt feeling of animosity against my judge." A year later Thackeray was elected, and amongst the glories and boasts of the Athenaeum Club to -day is that he wrote part of "Esmond" in its library. Thackeray, however, was not averse from doing a little blackballing. There was an illiterate merchant of the name of Hill who had the misfortune to be blackballed for the Garrick with an animosity which was almost fer- ocious. "You might have let him down more lightly," someone said to Thackeray. "My dear fellow," said the great Novelist, with a laugh, "I 'pilled' him because he is a liar—he's al -ways say- ing he's 'ill' when he isn't. Nowadays, however, club life is sel- dom disturbed by a sensational black- balling, the custom being to give a strong hint to any candidate whose election is doubtful that he had better withdraw, and in this way trouble is avoided. But a hundred years ago. when membership of certain clubs definitely established a man's position in society, it was not unusual for a candidate to come forward time after time undismayed by previous black- ballings, while his friends canvassed openly for him by methods suggestive of a parliamentary contest. That almost forgotten wit, George Selwyn, formed a cabal in Brooks' ('lub with the sole object of prevent- ing the election of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Every time the author of "The School for Scandal" was pro- posed, Selwyn or Lord Bessborough was there to put in the fatal black- ball, and it was not until Sheridan one night lured both the peer and the wit away from the club premises that he secured the coveted membership. In an age when actors are fashion- able and influential, and when we see nothing unusual about their inclusion in a royal or aristocratic house -party, it seems almost comic that Selwyn and company should have objected to Sheridan solely because he had The Reform Cluh figured in a black- balling affair which may be said to have made history. When Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, whose statute was un- veiled the other day by the Eearl of Balfour, was very prominent in the _councils of the Liberal party, he pro- posed his brother for membership of the club. With such powerful hacking, it was thought that the candidate could not fail, but the unexpected happened, and Mr. Chamberlain VTR so annoyed that he immediately resigned. Tt may have been that he was already more than half -way in the direction of the Unionists, but the action of the club must have helped considerably to enhance in his eyes the attractions of the party to which he was then op- posed. But powerful backing is not necessarily a guarantee of victim. Wlhen Cecil Rhodes came up for elec- tion at the Travellers' Club in Janu- ary, 1895, his sponsors included men whose support seemed to make suc- cess a certainty. Rhodes, however, was black -balled, and consoled by the reflection that the reason for his re- jection was political and not personal, had the satisfaction of being elected to the Athenaeum two months later. Even the Prince of Wales, who after- wards became King Edward VII, could not overcome, on at least one occasion, the disinclination of the members of the Marlborough Club to the society of one of his friends. The alarm clock has done as much for the rising generation as any other agency. --Stratford Beacon -Herald. Winter didn't have a backbone to be broken this year.
