In order to keep out of bankruptcy The Hague tribunal might try issuing trading stamps. Champagne sells for $500 a quart In Colombian money, which seems al most like giving it away. Prize Fighter Fitzsimmons is going to star in a comic opera. Furthermore, he is to be paid for doing it. Fame is that blissful state where other people think you are as great as you all along have considered your self. A great many humble folk with good appetites and little cash will not envy Mr. Rockefeller his legacy of dys pepsia. “Hoopskirts Occupy Women at Con ventions,” says a newspaper headline. It should have been “Women Occupy Hoopskirts.” There is a deficit of $4,400,000 in the Dutch treasury. The dispatches do not say whether it was stock gambling or the ponies. Ill-gotten gains, child, are often what the other man makes by taking advan tage of the opportunity you miss by being a good fellow. It is generally allowed that the late Rain-in-the-Face is now a good Indian whatever he was when he was en gaged in warwhooping. A New York girl has had a man put in jail because he admired her. Yet she would probably have despised him if he hadn’t turned to look. King Alfonso is again reported to be engaged to be married, but a good many people will refuse to believe it until he exhibits the license. The fashionable thing is not often the comfortable one, but very shortly a well-sewed pair of walking gloves will be welcome on any old plea. A Brooklyn woman committed sui cide because she had no friends. Some people would regard that as the finest kind of encouragement for living on. Young Mr. Rockefeller gladly would part with some of his ability to buy rich viands if he could only purchase a good digestion wherewith to enjoy them. It is doubtless true that no man can afford to dress poorly, but it is proba bly also true that some men cannot afford to dress as well as they habit ually do. We do not believe that George Ade Is making more money than he knows what to do with. Did anybody ever make more money than he knew what to do with? France and Germany have reached an agreement on the Moroccan ques tion. It doesn’t matter, of course, whether the agreement is satisfactory to Morocco or not. A former baseball pitcher who drew a salary of $5,000 a year is now mak ing $1.50 a day in a lumber camp. It doesn’t make much difference to him when the season closes. Schumann-Heink has sprained her voice. We wonder how it is that peo ple with bull voices, foghorn voices, nutmeg-grater voices and sawmill voices never sprain theirs. C. W. Schwab is going to have a $150,000 silver gilt dinner service. Even with that, however, he wi^t prob ably find it Impossible tcf takb more than one mouthful at a time. "What shall we do when the lobster disappears?” anxiously inquires the Boston Glolje. But there is no dangei that the lobster will disappear so long as the chorus girl is on earth. Another cure for consumption has been discovered. The remedy consists of the juice of vegetables. Certainly the juice of corn has made many at least forget worse woes than consump tion. Weber and Fields are talking of joining forces again and “Kid” McCoy is going into vaudeville at $700 a week. How can anybody continue to worry about the condition of the American stage? The Breadwinners’ college, a school for those who must work for their liv ing, has been opened in Boston. Whether it succeeds or not will de pend largely upon the showing its foot ball team is able to make. It seems odd to read that a young wife haf sued for divorce because her husband wants to kiss her too much, devoting so much time to his demon strations of affection that he neglects his work. That is not the usual com plaint A new law is soon to go into force in parts of Russia permitting the na tives to discuss politics. If they dis cuss them as fervently, as noiselessly, as ineffectively as some thousands of our people do, the blessing of the law will be deeply disguised. A man in New York has completed fifty years of service with the firm by which he is employed, and the occa sion has been recognized by giving him a dinner and a loving cup. If any man in the country has made a longer record of continuous service with one firm, now is a good time for him to stand up and get applauded. A Chicago banker who has been sent to the penitentiary declares that he will come back and pay off every cent that he owes. Evidently he be lieves in spreading the gospel of hope. THE BUMPER WHEAT CROP OP CANADA. 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat from 4,000,000 Acres cf Land. In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public, it Is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story until by one bold jump, he is introduced to the subject that It is desired shall be brought to his notice. This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the brief est way “Western Canada” and its possibilities for settlement. For the past six or seven years the Govern ment of the Dominion of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers through out the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed the possibilities of tae country as a grain-growing district were talked of, and the story of the success of farm ers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred thousand from the United States, who have made West ern Canada their home, who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They have proven the statements made through these columns and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their lands, twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found th# climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because it was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the pur chase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year. We are now in a position to speak re garding it The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had condi tions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. W’e find though all previous records broken, and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hun dred million bushels of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the en tire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President of the Ogilvie Milling Co., one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district. I never saw anything like It in this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an im mense crop. The weather is extreme ly favorable." Up to three weeks ago It was Mr. Thompson’s opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. “F. W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to-night, say ing that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred millions bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure." The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or, if you have a family of boys that you wish to become set tled on farms, it is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable dis tricts and railway rates. Detectives are interested in the “collar” industry. NO TONGUE CAN TELL How I Suffered with Itching and Bleeding Eczema Until Cured by Cuticura. “No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful. Itching, and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experi ence such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medi cines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better after the first bath with Cuti cura Soap and one application of Cuti cura Ointment, and was soon entirely well. (Signed) Mrs. A.

Best in the World. Cream, Ark., Oct. 9th.—(Special.)— After eighteen months suffering from Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Com plaint, Mr. W. H. Smith of this place Is a well man again and those who have watched his return to health un hesitatingly give all the credit to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. In an interview regarding his cure, Mr. Smith says: “I had been low for eighteen months with my back and kidneys and also Epilepsy. I had taken everything 1 knew of and nothing seemed to do me any good till a friend of mine got me to send for Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I find that they are the greatest medicine in the world, for r w I am able to work and am in fact as stout and strong as before I took sick.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure the Kid neys. Cured Kidneys cleanse the blood of all impurities. Pure blood means good health. When a rich old duffer tells a girl he will die for her, she should bear in mind that he may be stronger than he looks. AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Overzealous Reformers Work for Law Against Proprietary Medicines. "Schemes to diminish or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by interested parties. Every now nd then some zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to require every package of proprietary medi cine to be labeled with a printed statement of the ‘formula,’ showing Just how it is manufactured. The mil lions of people who use proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the man with a mania for regulating the afTairs of other people or who has some personal interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider it, such a proposition may 6eem reasonable enough; yet it Is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufactur ers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with imitations of their goods. "Under such conditions the incen tive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practi cally destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would Inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imita tors. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future ■ales would be greatly Impaired if not wholly destroyed. It Is mainly by Judicious advertising that the knowl edge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of peo ple have found relief at a compara tively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? Yet that is exactly what these formula bills mean.—Exchange. Advertising our afflictions only in creases their circulation. Every housekeeper should know that 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.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is 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 let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing. Defiance never sticks. The religious fan always thinks he is the whole field. The Duncanson Mail Order Real E» tate Co. of Omaha, has advertising contracts with 4,480 Weekly Papers that cover the United States.

In the duel with Whalen be had been pricked and cut a little; The wound in his head gave nim slight pain and trouble. The strain on nis nerves and his sensitive nature pros trated him temporarily. For a week or so he played the invalid. Perhaps he would have convalesced quicker or perhaps not at all if he had not been waited upon and tenderly nursed by Pearl Huntington and the good doc tor, her father. There was something besides bodily sickness and pain that ailed him, and that was love. The lack of the care and encourage ment of a loving companion was what had made our hero the devil-may-care sort of an individual such as he ap peared when Jim Denver met him in the basement saloon when the twain formed the co-partnership of attempt ing to win fame and a million. And Louis had fallen in love with Pearl Huntington. Pearl was Louis’ ideal of a woman; beautiful, graceful and pure. He was not a frivolous youth, but sensible and staid; and she of a frank, lovable dis position, fearless, yet of that variety of womanhood known as “tender and clinging,” withal not dependent nor weak. Louis was sitting in an easy chair, while Pearl was busying herself tidy ing up the sitting-room. They had been having another chat of the na ture similar to the one recorded be tween them on the evening of the duel. “I do not delude myself. Miss Hunt ington,” said Ixmis, looking at her longingly, “into the belief that you really love me; It was gratitude, not love, that prompted you to say so!” She stopped her work and looked at for anyone," she said spiritedly, “and I know to what you are alluding. You are trying to justify yourself. But you need not attempt. Golden has ex plained to me your life—I believe you only killed in self-defense. Even Golden did not know the true facts of the case.” “Then why are you so distant? If I am guiltless in your eyes, why do you shun me?” He forgot that it was man’s privilege to make the first ad vance. “Am I distant?” she asked, drawing near to him. “I did not know it! 1 have tried in every way to show you that I appreciate what you have done for me and my father.” “Oh, I know you appreciate,” said Louis, irritably, “and I ought to be content with that. It is not to be expected that the likes of you would really care for the like of me! Possi bly I would have been content with that if you had not said ‘I love you!’ But I understand it was pity, not love; you considered it your duty; I under stand—I do not delude myseslf!” It was a queer way of making love —but then the circumstances were unique. They were married—but neither felt (or at least Lang did not feel) that such was the case. They were in love, but neither would be lieve it of the other. They were al most strangers, yet each felt that they had known each other for ages. Pearl really loved Louis, of that there could be no doubt, but there was pleasure for her in having him tell her that he loved her. She must be won in the regular way, no matter the torture—the bliss would come later. “Louis Lang,” she said in a strained voice, she did not know whether he would interpret her words in the way she intended or not, “you have fairly won me for a wife; I am yours!” She placed one hand on the He rose from the chair, steadying himself against the back. him questioningly, than said as if in excuse for having made the state ment: “There are a thousand women in this place who would be pleased to marry you!” Now that Louis was safe she was resolved not to allow him to draw her into a second admis sion of love without first finding out his true feelings in advance. “But there is none here that I w’ould be pleased to marry!” returned Louis. "Why not?” she asked. “Because I do not love them—I do not consider them proper women.” “Then you do not think there are many pure women here?” “Just as many, if not more, here than men,” he answered. “And there are ‘pure’ men here?” she asked. “If you mean by ‘pure,’ common, ordinary men who have never commit ted crime, yes," he replied. “There are no men here that I would care to marry,” she retorted. “Why?” he asked. “Well, I do not love- Besides, they are criminals now!” was her rather incoherent reply. “Then you do not believe that there may be honorable men here, men like your father, for instance?” “Oh, that may be, but they are very few.” “Then you would not marry a crimi nal if you really loved him?” he asked. - "Not if I could help it!” she said— but hastily checking herself for fear of treading on dangerous ground and giv ing offense where none was intended, she added, “But please do not take my remarks as personal!” Louis bit his lip ana went on with the conversation as if the remark had not been made. “You do not believe in reforming the fallen by marrying and then teaching them how to be good by good example?” “No! Let them reform first!” “You think it possible to reform? Don’t you imagine that some of our so-called criminals have been made so through no fault of their own— that they would not be here, for ex ample, if not detailed by force?” “Bad company sometimes makes weak-minded persons rogues!" "Would you call it murder to kill a man in self-defense? Take my fight In the arena, for example. Was that murder?” he asked. “No,” she replied quickly, “that was not murder. You were forced to fight for your life. You gave him a chance. But if he had killed you while you were pleading for his life, that would have been murder!” “Then you cannot call it murder, under any circumstance, if you kill someone who is trying to kill you. If a man springs upon you with the in tent to kill you and you kill him in stead! That is not murder?” “No,” she replied, “that is not mur der.” "Doea it make any difference where this happened, in the ftrena, in the street, or in the saloon?” “Saloons are not the proper places arm of his chair and leaned over him. presenting her cheek as if to be kissed! “You understand me well enough,” he said, gently, yet firmly removing her arm from the chair. “You know that I won’t claim your love on a technicality. When I married you then—I did not marry for love. At that time I protected you out of the respect I bore you and your class. You are mine (fiercely), but do you suppose that I would claim you for my wife? Never. Though it is hard to love, and not to have your love re turned!” “Ah! Then you do love!” she ex claimed in ecstasy. She refrained from throwing herself into his arms. “What would you have me say? ‘I love you,’ if I do not?” , “No, if you do not! That’s just it. But do not hold out delusive hopes by saying, ‘I could love you if you were not a criminal!’” He rose from the chair, steadying himself against the back. “You know you said it in that way! How do you know you would love me?” “You are so brave!” she said. “You love power!” he retorted. He longed to tell her that he was no criminal. There might have been a stain upon his name at one time, but that he was guiltless of any wrong. Pearl meant to draw hlnj out. There was a glimmer of the truth in her mind. “I must, I shall know, whether my love Is being thrown away!” she said to herself, striving to keep down her heart-throbs. “Criminals are not men; they allow something beside their minds to control them! Their faults overpower them! they are mere children!” “If you really loved!” he said, bit terly, "you could not see these faults. ‘Love is blind,’ ‘Love is all goodness,’ love is forgiveness. I know that you do not love!” “I cannot think of you as a crimi nal!” she said, relenting a little, and paving the way for his admission, if he intended to make one. “That’s better,” he replied, brighten ing up. “If you really believed it! Perhaps I have been mistaken in you. Why do you come to this conclu sion?” “Because-” “Because why?” he asked eagerly, as a hopeful gleam came in his eyes. She edged a little closer to him; then imprudently threw her arms around his neck. “Because I do love you! You are so noble, so brave. But at first I wanted you to tell me that you loved me! Oh, so much!” He caught her in his arms and gazed into her face. “Then you don’t de spise me—and don’t think me a crim inal?” “No,” she replied, resting her head on his shoulder. “But I wanted you to tell me so, and not force me to guess it all.” “Believe, it is all I ask now,” he said, kissing her. “The future can care for Itself!” The lovers were interrupted in their ete-a-tete by a knock at the door, ’earl, in answering the knock, was airprised to see the king. “You here, Jr. Schiller?” she exclaimed. “Is your husband at home?” asked he doctor blandly. Calm as the king himself, yet won* lering upon what errand he had come, she said, “Yes. Will you walk In?” And Dr. Schiller and Louis Lang at last confronted each other on equal terms. “What can I do for you, sir?” Lang asked. “Grant me a private conversation,” said Schiller. Louis dismissed his wife with a wave of his hand. "Now, sir, your pleasure!” Late that evening Dr. Schiller and Louis Lang shook hands at parting. Both seemed highly elated at some thing which transpired during the time they were together. Lang kept his eyes on the retreating form of Schiller until lost in the darkness, then he called to Pearl. “Ask your father to step into the parlor a mo ment. I have something of importance to say to him!” (To be continued.) DISPENSING JUSTICE IN CHINA. Severe Punishment Meted Out to Con victed Wrongdoers. A reporter on the staff of the Shang hai Times tells how justice is dealt out to offenders in the police court of that Chinese city: “Business ap peared very dull at the Shanghai slave market yesterday, as Yang Wo Zung and Ng Ah Kung were unsuc cessful in their attempt to dispose of two girls whom they offered for the ridiculously low sum of $80, after hav ing kidnaped them from their home in Pootung. This case was a very intricate one, the kidnapees having changed owners several times. After going exhaustively into the evidence the court announced that the accused were convicted upon the charge of having attempted to sell the children and they were remanded for further inquiries previous to being sentenced. The children were ordered to be sent to the Refuge for Slave Girls. “Tseu Chong Sung, a runner, was charged with attempting to extort money from Tsung Wong Sze at 80 Park road, on the 20th ult. Tseu will not do any sprinting for a week, as he is to be scientifically touched upon the spot by the official bambooer £00 times, after which he goes into the cool, calm seculsion of the municipal cloisters for one week. . “Chang Ah Ong was charged with stealing 120 pairs of the upper parts of Chinese silk shoes, valued at $60. Chang gets 200 blows and a month’s imprisonment.” Pleasant for the Caller. Admiral Evans at a dinner at Nar ragansett said, apropos of disappoint ment: ‘‘The poor fellow’s feelings in this misfortune must have resembled those of a young planter whom I knew in my youth in Virginia. “The young man was in love with a girl of great beauty. She had many suitors and to all of them she was more partial than to my friend. But he, though snubbed continually, re mained very faithful. “One Sunday evening when he called, the girl's little brother admit ted him. The youngster led him into the parlor, went upstairs to announce his name and then, returning, said: “ ‘Sit down, Mr. Sparker. She will see you in a few minutes.’ “Sparker said in a relieved and cheery voice: “ ‘I am glad of that. I was afraid she might ask to be excused, as she has done so often before.’ “ ‘No fear of that this time. I play ed a trick on her,’ said the little brother. “ ‘How was that?’ Sparker asked. “ ‘Why,’ said the lad, ‘I pretended you were someone else.’ ” Tramp Was a Thinker. A Philadelphian was praising the late Mary Mapes Hodge. “Wise woman as she was,’’ he said, “Mrs. Dodge could never bring herself to see that organized charity was the only sort that did good. She consid ered organized charity rather cold. She believed in the charity spirit, which, she said, was best fostered by the direct personal contact of recipi ent and giver. “Hence, she never refused a beggar. And, defending herself from my at tack one day, she narrated a conver sation that she once overheard be tween two Maryland tramps, or ‘peach plucks.’ “These peach plucks, as they lay under a tree on a superb afternoon, philosophized: “ ‘Bill,’ said the first, ‘why is it that poor people is always willin’ to help us, while rich folks always turns us down?’ “The other, with a mirthless laugh, replied: “ ‘Them that don’t mind givin’ things away is the ones that stays poor.’ ” An International Catastrophe. Major Smith was seated at the din ner table with his guests on Thanks giving Day. The colored waiter was just entering with a smoking hot tur key, when he slipped and fell to the floor, together with a crash of dishes. The Major, arising from the table, held up his hands and said: “Gentlemen, a great calamity has just befallen us; here we have the downfall of Turkey, the breaking up of China, the spilling of Greece and the humiliation of Africa.” What He Had. “Mamma,” said little Jimmie one evening while the family were at the supper table, “can you guess what I have here under the table?” “Jimmie, I hope you aren’t acting rudely,” said his mother and, whis pered to him softly, “since there’a company, too.” “Well, since you can’t guess it. I'll tell you,” he said, “it’s a stomach ache.” Completing the Quotation.

AWFUL NEURALGIA Mr. PorterThought He Should Go Mad But Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilla Cured Him. “It seems like a miracle that Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills should have cored my neuralgia,” said Mr. Porter. “ They are certainly a marvelous medicine and I am always glad to recommend them. “For two years,” he continued, “Iliad Buffered almost unendurable pains in my head. They would start over my eyes and shoot upward most frequently, imt they often spread over my face, and at times every gwt of my head and face would be full of agony. Sometimes the pains were so intense that I actually feared they wonld drive me mad. “ My eyes ached constantly and there was always a burning sensation over my forehead, but the other pains varied, sometimes they were acute, and again they were dull and lingering. I could not sleep. My temper was irritable and I got no pleasure out of life. “ I tried remedy after remedy, but finding no help in any of them, I be came a despairing man. Even when I began to take Dr. Williams’ Piuk Pills I had no great hope of a cure. “ That was in December of 1903. To my surprise, a change in my condition took place right away. The pains grew less intense and the acute attacks were further apart, as I kept on using Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills. The improvement be gan with the first box, and when I bad used six boxes I stopped. My cure waa complete and has lasted ever since.” Mr. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray mond, N. H.
