Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam: Gratitude compel me to acknowledge the

fcrould only mean Buffering to me.
u IVtter health is ail I wanted, and cure if possible. Lydia E. Pink
barn's VepeUMe Compound brought me health and happiness in a
lew short months I feel like another jierson now. My aches and pains
tave left me. Jjfe seems new and sweet to me, and everything seems
pleasant and easy.
" Six bottles brought me health, and was worth more than months
onder the doctor s care, which really did not benefit me at all. I am Bat
tened there is no medicine so good for sick women as your Vegetable
Compound, and I advocate it to my lady friends in need of medical
help. Mas. Ii. A. Blanchard, 422 Uroad St., Nashville, Tenn.

INFLUENCED THE CZAR.
riie One Man Who I Mainly Respon
sible for the War.
The Kun)-Japanese war is the work
of one man, M. Hezohra.oH, who began
life an an insignificant member of a
yirps of imperial pages, became an
illleer In the regiment of guards, went
lo the Far East where he made a for
.iine and eventually became a royal
tavorlte possessed of unscrupulous
jrlnclples. With the fortune which
'avors a very daring and energetic man
BezobrazofT became manager of the
private milieu of the Czar and Iow
lger Empress, which he made to remit
Immense aitms to the Imperial proper
ties, anil he wm rewarded with the ap
pointment as Secretary of State for the
l-'ar East
Hezobnizoff obtained the appoint
ment of his friend and business aswo
Mate, Admiral Alexleff, as viceroy of
the Far Kast and they began to scheme
!o close Manchuria and northern Korea
lo the world outside of their own
"llque. Hezobrazoff dangled before the
yes of the various grand dukes prizes
f great wealth, landing the will of the
princes through suggested rnther than
promised bribes and he deluded the
Czar Into the policy which has had a
disastrous ending.
M. ltezobrnzolT secured a largo inter
est In the timber concession on the
Yalu, which began in 1K!M when M.
Hrnnncr, a Kusslan merchant of Vlad
ivostok, oblalniMl from the Korean gov
ernment the right of felling timber on
Iho banks of the Yalu. The concession
Was to be forfeited unless the work be
gan in Ave years, and as the close of
the period approached the Ilusslan
igent In Seoul applied for an extension
of three years.
GOOD
Au agreement was tlien drawn tip
whereby the district of Yoiighainpo. at '
the mouth of the Yaltl liiver, was rent-
i ed to the Hussiaii company hich uu-
( dertsk to pay iand tax to the Korean
government. The territory became
Itussian in so f ir that all ICiisniaii
offender could only he dealt with by
. Uus-ian civil otlirer. The agreement
was signed last July, but previous to
, the day of siuin it forty Kiissian sol
diers Itelmigiiig to a force which had
t Un-ii concentraiiNl at An Tunt on the
opHsiie and Manchuria bank of the
Yalu. crossed the river, halting on an
island mid stream to discard their uni
forms so they iiii'ht enter Yoii.iinphr.
in private dollies.
Fromii Yonauipho they moved to
Yftiiiri-liyong, furtlier in Korea, where 1
they founded a timber settlement. A
few weeks later thev were reinforced j
by a furtlier 1hi soldier, notwithstand
ing the objections of the Korean gov
ernment. A further lsxlv of seventy
I soldiers crossed the Yalu higher up and
established a nominal timber camp. A
telegraph line was next constructiil be
tween these camps. I'nder the plea
that the settlement of the lius.-ial)
timber company at Yongampho re
quired protect ion, .'00 soldiers were
openly moved there within n few
weeks of the signing of the agreement.
Japan realized that if this aggression
was noi definitely stopped, sooner or
later Ilusian occupation of Korea
would inevitably take place under the
guise of protecting commercial Inter
ests.
Th war which has resulted has
been engineered for the sake of the
private interests of M. Kezohrazoff and
his fiicnils. The official advisers ot
the C.ar. who were on the side of
peace, have been quietly shelved and
the Czar himself is a victim of thr,
cupidity of M. liczobrazofr. Hozobra
zoff. however, made n fatal mistake,
for lie underestimated the Japaiiesi
character and the Japanese lightim;
strength.
