"There was a blow. Somebody fell.
We got up. Turning upon our antagonist, we succeeded in winding his arms
around our waist and by a quick manoeuvre threw him on top of us, bringing our back, at the same time, in conduit with the solid bed of the printing
press, Then inserting our nose between liis teeth, and cleverly entangling
his hands in our hair, we had him!"

HUNTING PARTY RETURNS.
HIGHLY SATISFIED WITH THEIR
EXPEDITION. INTEND COMING
AGAIN NEXT SPRING.
On the 10th May, a party, comprising
Mr. H. G. Rowe and Dr. Freeman, both
from Ohio, and guided by R. M. Cook,
of New Denver, proceeded to Wilton
creek lor the purpose olhunl ing grizzly.
The party made for above tho falls and
after seven or eight days beating round
came upon a liear which fell a victim to
the rifle of Mr, Rowe. During the next
few days throe more bears were sighted
and added to the bag. Of the four, two
were black and two brown, all in splendid condition, one of the bears being ol
unusual size.
A most enjoyable month was spent,
both gentlemen expressing themselves
as highly satisfied with their outing.
Although they were not successful in
adding a grizzly to their bag, they were
loud in tlieir praises as to the district
being a splendid locality for hunting,
and intend coming back next spring
with two more friends.
Mr. Cook, as guide and general factotum, says both were very good in the
hills, being first-class sportsmen and
rustlers. m '
A young grizzly cub accompanied the
party back to the States and will doubtless be the hero of many anecdotes
regarding the hunt.

The Howard Fraction.
L. G. Kelium, representing the Wabash Gas Colnpany of Pittsburg, owners
of the Howard Fraction group, is prospecting the claims and inspecting the
work that has been in progress for over
a year under the management of J. M.
M. Benedum. The crosscut tunnel has
now reached a distance of over 700 feet,
and it is expected that lhe rich Howard
Fraction vein will be cut at a depth of
about 800 feet before the tunnel shall
have been driven another hundred feet.
Tne Howard Fraction ore is quartz,
carrying less than one per cent, of pyrites associated with argentrite, and 1*50
tons of the sorted ore was sold to the
smelters in 1895-6 lor $15,000, about one-
fourth of the value being gold, and the
balance silver. But, as the vein dips
into Ihe hill at an angle of about 80 degrees, the raining, in an incline shaft
was expensive and necessarily shallow,
and no mining has been done on the
claims since '96, till this tunnel was
started.
As there are numerous claims of the
same character of ore and other c.on-
ditiius, in the Howard Fraction district,
all of which have been hold on faith and
little work for a dozen years, it is expected that a revival of mining on an
extensive scale wou'd follow the discovery of rich ore in this Howard Enaction crosscut. Accordingly no work in
Slocan camp is watched with more interest.

Wisconsin Capitalists Put up
$30,000 to Complete Saw
Mill at Summit Lake.
During the past week, a bunch of
���eviill men from Rhineland, Wis., have
been quietly touring the Slocan looking
for business openings, and when on
Thursday last, thee gentlemen got off
the train at Summit, there was much
speculation as to the nature of their
business. Perfect strangers to this part
of tlie country, they looked around and
listened lo what everybody had to say
and eventually they paid a vi.it to Ihe
partly constructed saw mill owned by
G. F. Robertson, which was built under
the firm name of the Summit Lumber
Company. Being the only place in
town where a number of men could be
bunked for the night, Mr. Robertson, in
typical western style, entertained his
guests. It is but natural when a number of business men get together that
the "Almighty iron" should be the
predominant note in the conversation,
and tliey learned from Mr. Robertson
how he was at pres.nt handicapped by
lack of finances, and how the people
who had promii-ed to see the thing
through had failed him.
The next morning Mr. Robertson was
met by Messrs. McEnchern, Smith, and
Brown, three of the guests, and these
gentlemen offered to subscribe the
necessary $80,000 spot cash and take
over the residue of the stock.
Everything was all satisfactorily
settled the same day, and the new saw
mill will be completed as soon as hands
can do it.
The new syndicate own fourteen
limits around Summit Lake which will
keep the mill running for some time.
Mr. Robertson told our reporter that
he has orders in front of him that will
take a year to fill and that the new mil 1
will be in operation by the middle of
July. The mill has a capacity of 40,000
a day and it will mean that not less than
forty men will find employment fn a
few weeks.
The C. P. R. made a change wliich
took effect on Monday that is not meeting with approval. The tri-weekly service between Sandon and New Denver
has again been altered, and the company has cut off the morning service
altogether. In future the train from
Rosebery will make one trip a day to
Sandon, and that in the evenings of
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The Fishery inspectror, inttead of
bothering his head for the present about
re-stocking the lakes, should pay attention to the sawmills along the shores of
Arrow Lake. One in particular at
Pings ton creek has a huge sawdust dump
that is now half under water. The effect
on the lives of fish is too palpable to
need fuither talk.
A man, a desk, a telephone,
Another man, they two alone,
A big prospectus, an assay,
A mine, two thousand miles away.
Photos of three hydraulic muckers,
Ah, gentle spring's the timef.rsuckers!
Great excitement was caused the
other day to some lonely dwellers
between New Denver and Sandon, when
two bears and a cub were sighted peacefully feeding on the young shoots a few
yards above the track.
Not haying been supplied with arms
by the defence committee of the colony,
it was found that only one person had
a rifle, so the others retired to a coign
of vantage, (aloft), and proceeded to
give instructions to the army below.
Now bear shooting is not exaotly the
same thing as target shooting, but still,
a bear is a fairly good sized bullseye,
and the spectators were highly inter-
sated by some good volley firing; iu
fact they seemed more excited tban tba
living target which would not be driven
off fhe Held until it got the cub into a
place of safety. There are still two
bears and a cub awaiting their end
somewhere higher up the elide.
A deer got into Mr. Harris' orchard*
the other day and was regaling itself
on the young cherry trees when the
owner was made aware of the fact and
promptly proceeded to the spot with a
gun and dispatched it. Venison must
make a very acceptable dish just now.

CriAPTI*:.. IV.
IOUIS had walked1 on to his devotions in no very charitable
g frame of mind, us was easily to
be seen from his clouded brow
and compressed lips. He knew his lute
favorite well, her impulsiveness, her
audacity, her lack of all restraint wheu
thwarted or opposed. She wiis capable
of making a hideous scandal, of turning against him that bitter tongue
which had so often made him laugh at
the expense of others, perhaps even of
making some public exposure which
would leuve hlm the butt and gossip of
Europe. He shuddered at the thought.
At all costs such a catastrophe must be
averted. And yet how could he cut
the tie which bound them? This woman would Struggle hard, light to thc
bitter end, before she would quit the
position which was so dear to her. She
spoke of her wrongs. What were her
wrongs?
In his Intense selfishness, nurtured
by. the eternal Mattery wliich wus the
very air he breathed, he could uot see
that the fifteen years of her life which
ho hnd absorbed or the loss of the husband whom he had supplanted gave
her uny claim upou him. Iu his view
he had raised her to the highest position which a subject could occupy.
Now he was weary of her, and It was
her duty to retire with resignation���
uny, even with gratitude for past favors. She should have a pension, and
thc children should be cared for. What
could u reasonable woman ask for
more?
On the whole, his conscience acquitted hlm. But In this one matter he hud
beeu lux. From the lirst coming of
his gentle nnd forgiving young wife
from Spain he had never once permitted her to be without a rival. Now
that she was dend the matter was no
better. One favorite had succeeded
another, aud If De Montespan hnd held
her own so loug it wns ruther from her
audacity than from his affection. But
now Fnther la Chaise and Bossuet
were ever reminding him thnt he had
topped the summit of his life and was
already upon thnt downward path
which lends to the grnvo. The time
had come for gravity and for calm,
neither of which wns to be expected
In the company of Mme. de Montespan.
But he had found out where they
were to be enjoyed. From the dny
.when De Montespan had Introduced
the stntely nnd silent widow ns a governess for his children ho had found a
never falling aud ever Increusing pleasure In her society. For a time he had
thought that her piety and her talk of
principle might be a mere mask, for
he was accustomed to hypocrisy all
round hlm. It wns surely unlikely ttint
a womnu who wns still beautiful, with
ns bright nn eye and as graceful a figure as any lu his court, could after a
life spent In the gayest circles preserve the spirit of a nun. But on this
point he was soon undeceived, for
when his own language had become
warmer thnn that of friendship he had
been met by an leiucss of mnnner and
n brevity of speech which hud shown
him that there wus one woman at least
iu his dominions who hnd a higher respect for herself than for him. And
perhaps It wns better so. The plncld
pleasures of friendship were very
soothing after the storms of pnssion.
To sit In her room every nfteruoon, to
listen to talk which wus not tainted
with flattery nnd to hear opinions
which were not framed to please his
ear were the occupations now of his
happiest hours. And then her Influence over him was all so good!
And now he knew thut the time had
come when he must choose between
her nnd De Montespan. Their Influences were antagonistic. They could
not continue together. He stood be
tween virtue and vice, and he must
choose.
Such were the thoughts which ran
through (he king's bend ns ho bent
over the rich crimson cushion which
topped his priedieu of carved onk. He
knelt'Tn his own inclosure to tho right
of the nltnr, with his gunrds nnd bis
Immediate household around hlm, whll'
Hie court, ladles and cavaliers, filled
tlie chapel. Piety wns a fashion now,
like dnrk overconts nnd Inco cravats
and no courtier was so worldly mlndec
us not to hnve hud a touch of gruet
since the king had taken to religion.
It was the habit of Louis as he walked back from the chapel to receive petitions or to listen to any tales of
wrong which his subjects might bring
to hlm. On this particular morning
there were but two or three���a Parisian who conceived himself injured
by the provost of his guild, a peasnnt
whose cow hnd been torn by n lnints-
iniiu's dog uud u farmer who hud hnd
hurd usage from his feudul lord. A
few questions nnd then n hurried order
to his sccretury disposed of each case.
He wns about to resume his way iigaiu
when nn elderly mini, clud in the gurb
of a respectable citizen and with a
strong, deep lined face which marked
him as a mnn of character, darted for-
wurd und threw himself down upon
one knee lu front of the monureh.
"What is this?" nsked Louis. "Who
nre   you,   nnd   what   is   It   that   you
Wttllt?"
"I nm a citizen of Paris, and I havo
been cruelly wronged."
"You seem a very worthy person. If
you have indeed been wronged you
shall have redress. What huve you to
complain of?" .   .
"Twenty of the Blue dragoons of
Languedoe nre quartered In my house,
with Captain Dalbert nt their bond.
They have devoured my food, stolen
my property and benten my servants,
yet the mugistrates will give uie- no redress."
"On my life, justice seems to be administered In n strnrige fushlon ln our
city of Purls!" exclulnied the king.
"And yet there may be a very good
reason for it," suggested Pero la
Chaise. "I would suggest that your
majesty should ask this man his nnme,
his business nnd why It wus thnt the
dragoons were quartered upon him."
"You hear the reverend futher's question."
"ITy name, sire, is Catlnat, by trade
I am a merchant in cloth, and I am
treated In this fashion because 1 am of
the Reformed church."
The king shook his head and his brow
darkened. "You have only yourself to
thank, then. The remedy ls in your
hands."
"And how, sire?"
"By embracing the only true faith."
"I am alrendy n member of It, sire."
The king stamped his foot angrily.
"I can see that you are a very insolent
heretic," said he. "There is but one
church in France, and that is my
church. If you are outside that you
cannot look to me for aid."
"My creed Is that of my father, sire,
and that of my grandfather."
"If they have sinned it Is no reason
why you should. My own grandfather
erred also before his eyes were
opened."
"But he nobly atoned for his error,"
murmured tho Jesuit.
"Then you will not help me, sire?"
"You must flrst help yourself."
The old Huguenot stood up with a
gesture of despair, while the king continued on his way, the two ecclesiastics ou either side of him murmuring
their approval Into his ears.
But the king bore the face a man
who was not absolutely satistied with
bis own action.
"You do not think, then, that these
people have too hard a measure?" said
he. "1 hear that they are leaviug my
kingdom in great numbers."
"And surely It Is better so, sire, for
what blessing can come upou a country which hns such stubborn Infidels
Within Its boundaries?"
"Those who are traitors to God can
scarce be loyal to the king," remarked
"J can see that you arc a very Insolent
heretic," said he.
Bossuet. "Your majesty's power would
be greater if there were no temple, as
they cnll their dens of heresy, withiu
your dominions."
"My grandfather bus promised them
protection. They are shielded, as you
well kuow, by the edict which he gave
at Nantes."
"But It lies wilh your mnjesty to
undo the mischief thut bus beeu done."
"And how?"
"By reeulling the edict."
"And driving into the open arras of
my enemies 2,000,000 of my best artisans and of my bravest servants. How
say you, Louvois?"
"With all respect to the church, sire,
I would say that the devil has given
these men such cunning of baud nnd
>f bruin thnt they nre the best workers and traders lu your majesty's king-
lom. I know not how the stnte coffers
ire to be filled If such taxpayers go
trom among us."
"But," remarked Bossuet, "If It were
mce known that the king's will had
)een expressed jour majesty may rest
assured that even the worst of his subjects bear hlm such love thnt they
would hasten to come within the pule
of the holy church."
The king shook his bend. "They hnve
always been stubboru folk," suid he.
"Perhaps," remarked Louvois, glnnc-

CHAPTER V.
THE elderly Huguenot had stood
silent after his repulse by the
king, with his eyes cast moodily downwurd nnd a fnce In
which doubt, sorrow nnd nnger contended for the mastery. He was a very
large, gaunt mnn, rnwboned and haggard, with a wide forehead, a large,
fleshy nose aud a powerful chin. He
was dressed as became his rank, plain-
ly and yet well, In a sad colored brown
kersey.coat with silver ailated buttons.
_.nee" oreecUes of the same and white
woolen stockings, ending lu broad toed
black leather shoes cut across with a
great steel buckle.
Ills doubts as to what his next step
Bhould be were soon resolved for him
in a very summary fashion. These
were days when, if the Huguenot was
not absolutely forbidden In France, he
' was nt least looked upon as.a mau who
existed upou sufferance, nnd who was
unshielded by the laws wliicb protected
his Catholic fellow subjects. For twenty years the stringency of the persecution hnd increased until there wns no
weapon which'bigotry could employ,
short of absolute expulsion, which had
not been turned against hlm.
Two of the king's big blue coated
guardsmen were on duty at that side
of the palace nnd hnd been witnesses
to his unsuccessful nppeal. Now they
tramped across together to where he
was standing and broke brutally into
the current of his thoughts.
"Now, Hymnbooks," snid one gruffly,
"get off ngnin nbout your busluess."
The old Huguenot shot a glance of
anger and contempt at them and was
turning to go wheu one of them thrust
at his ribs with the butt end of his
hnlberd.
"Tnko that, you dog!" he cried.
"Would you dare -to look like that at
the king's guard?"
"Children of Bellnl!" cried the old
mnn, with his hnnd pressed to his side,
"were 1 twenty yenrs younger you
would not hnve dnred to use me so."
"Hn, you would still spit your venom,
would you? That ls enough, Andre!
Ho has threatened the king's gunrd.
Let us seize him nnd drag hlm to the
guardroom."
The two soldiers dropped their halberds and rushed upon the eld mnn,
but, tall nud strong as they were, they
found It no eusy mutter to secure hlm.
They hnd hardly won their pitiful victory, however, before a stern voice aud
a sword flushing before their eyes
compelled them to release their prisoner once more.
It wns Captain de Cntlnnt, who, his
morning duties over, had strolled out
on the terrace nnd hnd come upon this
sudden scene of outrage. At the sight
of the old mun's face he gave n violent
stnrt nnd, drawing his sword, had
rushed forward with such fury that
the two guardsmen not only dropped
tlieir victim, but, staggering back from
the threnteuing sword point, one of
them slipped nnd the other rolled over
bim, a revolving mass of blue cont and
white kersey.
"Villains!" roared De Catinat. "What
is the meaning of this?"
The two hnd stumbled to their feet
ngain, very shamefaced and ruffled.
"If you pleuse, captain," said one, saluting, "this Is a Hugueuot who abused
the royal guard."
"His petition had been rejected by
the king, captain, nnd yet he refused to
go."
De Cutinat wns white with fury.
"And so when a French citizen hns
come to have a word with the great
master of his country lie must be harassed by two Swiss dogs like you?" ho
cried. "By my faith, we shall soon see
about that!"
He drew a little silver whistle from
his pocket, and at the shrill summons
nn old sei'genut and half n dozen soldiers came running from the guardroom.
"Sergeant, you will arrest i-hese
men."
"Certainly, captain," snld the sei*.
geaut.
"See that tliey are tried today for assaulting an aged and respected citizen
who had come on business to lhe king."
"He was a Huguenot ou liis own confession," cried Hie culprits together.
"Hum!" The sergeant pulled doubtfully at his long mustache. "Shall we
put the charge In that form, captain?
Just ns the enptuin pleases."
"No," said De Catinat, with a sudden happy thought. "I charge them
with laying their halberds down while
on duty nnd with having their uniforms dirty nnd disarranged."
"Thnt is better," nnswered the ser-
geunt, with the freedom of a privileged veteran. "Thunder of God, but
you have disgraced the guards! An
hour on the wooden horse with a mus-,
ket nt either foot mny tench you thnt
halberds were made for a soldier's
baud and not for the king's grassplot."
The Huguenot had stood In the background, grave and composed, without
any sign of exultation, during this
sudden reversal of fortune, but when
the soldiers were gone he and the
young officer turned warmly upon encb
other. . .
"Amory, I hnd not hoped to see you!"
"Nor I you, uncle. Whut In the
name of wonder brings you to Versailles?"
"My wrongs, Amory. Tlie hnnd of
tho wicked is heavy upon us, nnd
whom cun we turn to save only the
king?"
The young officer shook his head
"The king is at heart a good man,"
said he. "But he can only see the
world through the glasses which are
held before him. You have nothing to
hope from him."
. "IIo spurned mo from his presence."
"Did he.ask yon your name?"
"He did, and 1 gave It."
The young giiitrdsnian whistled. "Let
us walk to the gate." said he. "By my
faith, if my kinsmen ar*.' to eome nnd
bundy arguments with the king It miiy
not be long before my compuny finds
Itself without Its captain. Whut Is
nmlss?"
"Twenty men of Moan hnve been
quartered upon me, with one Dalbert,
their captain, who has loiig beeu a
scourge to Israel."
"Captain Claude Dalbert of the Languedoe dragoons? I> have already
some small score to settle with him.
What, has he done?"
"His men are over my house like
moths in a cloth bale. No place is free
from them. He sits in the room which
should be mine, his great boots on my
Spanish leather chairs, his pipe in his
mouth, his wine pot at his elbow and
his talk a hissing nnd an abomination.
He has benten old Pierre of the warehouse nud thrust me iuto the cellar."
"Uu!"
"Because 1 have drugged hlm bnck
when  in his  drunken  love he would.
hnve thrown his arms about your cousin Adele."
"Oh!" The young man's cobr hud
been rising* and his brows knitting at
each successive charge, but nt this lust
his anger boiled over, nnd he hurried
forwnrd with fury in his fnce, dragging his elderly compunion by the elbow.

THfc  ARTICHOKE  CLASS.
Where Clara Barton Spelled on Her
First  Day   In  School.
On the morning of bttT tirst day la
'regular school*' Clara Barton was
taken on the strong shoulders of her
eldest brother. Stephen, a mile through
the deep drifts to the school house. It
was the winter term, and the pupHs,
as was usual at that time, included not
only the large boys and girls, but ln
reality the young men uud youug women of the neighborhood. Little Clara,
then about five, wus the buby of the
school.
She confesses In her book, "The Story of My Childhodd," thnt she recalls
ao introduction to the teacher, but was
set down among the many pupils in
the by no means spacious room, with
her spelling book and the traditional
slate, from which no oue could separate her.
"I was seated on one of the low
benches and sat very still," Miss Burton remembers. "At length the majestic schoolmaster seated himself und,
taking a primer, called tbe class of
little ones to him.
"He pointed ih.> letters to each. I
named them ull and was asked to spell
somo little words, 'dog,' 'cat,' etc.,
whereupon I hesitatingly informed hlm
thut 'I did not spell there.'
"'Where do jou spell?' he nsked.
"i spell In "artichoke,"' that being
the leading word In the three syllable
column iu my speller."
The schoolmaster good natiuodly
conformed to the little girl's suggestion, and she wus put Into tbe "artichoke" class to bear her part for the
whiter and read and "spell for the
head."
OFFICE   DROWSINESS.
It May Be the Beginning of Serious
Mental Trouble.
"Some meu are quite martyrs to office drowsluess," snid a physician to a
patient who wus complaining of thut
feeling. '"Any monotonous sound near
them, the hum of traffic outside or
even the scratching of u clerk's peu ls
sufficient to induce a feeling of sleepiness which it is nlmost Impossible to
resist. The worst' of it Is thut this
symptom seldom is regarded as anything serious, though 1 have known
It to be the beginning of^rllicul mental
trouble. Far more often, however, It
Is merely the effect of constitutional
eccentricity, though in either case a
few simple remedies might be tried
With advantage.
"For example, I always advise the
old Indigestion cure���a gluss of hot
water���when the feeling comes ou. To
keep the eyes tightly closed for two
or three minutes und then buthe them
ln very warm water often gives relief
nt once. And another good idea Is to
lower the head for n few seconds to a
level with the knees. Above all, oue
should never give In to the feeling of
drowsiness by taking a short nap ln
the hope of waking up brighter after
it At the sn nie time the condition ot
the office might be looked to. The
Slightest defect iu ventilation will
often cause one man to be affected by
office drowsiness eveu If other persons
In the same room feel nothing of It
whatever."
The Dignified Course.
An army examiner ouee had a *cnn-
dldnte before bim who apparently was
unable to answer the simplest question. At last the examiner lost his
temper aud, with sarcastic emphusls,
quite lost on the youth before him,
said:
"Suppose, sir, that you were a captain In command of a company of Infantry; that iu your rear was au impassable abyss; that on either side of
you towered perpendicular rocks of un-
traversable height; that before you
stood the enemy, a hundred men to
each one of yours. What, sir, would
you do ln this emergency?"
���Sir," said the aspirant to military
honors, "1  should  resign."
Similar  Result.
There are certain delicate shades of
expression of which a Frenchman is,
as a rule, past master. One member
of that fluent nation, stranded In New
York, was setting forth his troubles
to a lawyer.
"I understand from want you sny
that you are convinced your friend
Lecomte has stolen your purse," said
the lawyer.
"No, no, monsieur! Not.so fast!"
cried his client "1 only say that If
Lecomte had not assisted me to hunt
for It I should have found It again."
The Reform., He Advocated.
The editor of u British weekly Journal, wishing to know what reforms
well knr*wn men desired to see effected
during the year, once applied to Sir
W. S. Gilbert, among others. The author of "The Mikado" nnswered: "Dear

anxious to see cnrrled Mo effect ls

Webster's Home Squadron.
A few dnys before his death Danlei
Webster wished to leave his sickroom
once more to look upon the little paradise which his taste had adorued ubout
his mansion. Dressing himself with
the utmost care, he went through the
house on the arm of a servant and
finally reached the library. The night
before there was a terrific storm, and
the greut 'Statesman expressed solicitude for the safety of the fishermen
off ihe const. As he looked from the
Wiudow his eye fell upon n number of
pleasure bouts which had been moored
to a little mound In the artificial pond
in the rear of the house. "Well," snld
he, "the homo squadron Is safe. I
think I will go back." It wa3 his last
playful remark. He never left his
room again.
To Prevent

And  promptly  remove  Colds  use  Dr.
A. W. Chase's  Kidney-Liver  Pills.
The first thought oi tne physician
when treating a cold is in regard to
the activity ol the excretory organs.
He gives something to ensure the
prompt action of the  bowels.
And if you wait to consider, you
will probably recall Hint your cold
was contracted when the bowels were
.ii  n  sluggish  condition.
You wiil bo unable to find a medicine so well suited for the purpose
of preventing and curing colds ns
Dr. A. W. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills
because of tlieir wonderfully prompt
and thorough action on the liver,
kidneys and bowels.
Tiiese excretory organs when once
awakened quickly carry olf the poisons and thoroughly cleanse the system. Colds quickly disappear in-
stead ol hanging on and finding lodgment in the lungs or developing In-
*.o kidney trouble.

NEW STRENGTH
FOR THE SPRING
Nature Needs Assistance in Making New Health-Giving Blood.
In tlie spring your system needs
toning up. In the spring to be
healthy and strong, you must have
new blood, just as the trees must
have new sap. Nature demands it
nnd nature's laws are inexorable.
Without new blond you will feel
weak and languid. You may have
twinges of rheumatism, or the sharp
.tabuing pains of neuralgia, there
may be disfiguring pimples or eruptions of the skin, a tired feeling in
tlie morning and a variable a\ petite,
Tiiese are some of the signs that the
blood is out of order, that the Jong
trying months of indoor winter life
have told upon you. A purgative
medicine, such as too many peof.le
take in spring can't help you. Purgatives merely gallop through the
system and further weaken you. Any
doctor will tell you thnt this is true.
What people need in the spring is a
tonic medicine, and in all the world
there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Every dose of
this medicine helps to moke new,
rich, red blood���-yotir greatest need
in spring. This new, red blood clears
tlie skin, drives out disease and
makes weak, easily tired men, women and children, b'ight, active and
strong. Try this grent blood-building medicine this spring, and sen
what new life and energy it will
give you.
You can get Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills from any medicine denier or by
mail postpaid at 50 cents a box or
six boxes for ..'2.50 from Tlie Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont,

Aocuracy    of    the    Exchange    In    ths
Analysis  tr*  Events.  .
Barring the caje of manipulation,
wliich curries Its nwn remedy and
which Is one of the evils of speculutlon,
tbe stuck market tells the truth. Temporarily Indicuiious mny lie misleading,
but it Is eventually shown thnt Its
nmilysis of events Is correct. The silent puulc of March, 1U07. wns n premise of the panic of November. During the intervening seven months prices
dropped steadily, showing plainly that
there was a weakness in the tinaiiclal
and industrial structure. The utter
foolishness of blaming speculation for
the downward movement ls obvious.
The stock market with Its daily record
of prices suld rs plainly as It was possible to say: "Danger! Stand from under!"
Something slinllnr happened ln 1S93.
Bradstreet's for July 29, 181.3, shows
that twenty represeiitntlve Rtocks fell
on nn average 45 points, or more than
50 per cent, between January and July.
This mitigated the effect of the pnulc.
One of the most striking illustrations
of the cold blooded accuracy of the exchange Is recorded by Proudhon In
the Speculator's Manual, published at
Paris In 1857, in which he shows that
In the Inter days of Napoleon and tbe
restoration, while French patriotism
wus nt while bent, prices on the bourse j
advanced with encb victory of the ul-
lles, reflecting the belief that the defeat
of Napoleon mennt more for Franco

ASSASSINATION OF RULERS.
ROYAL  SCHOOLMASTERS.
Kings Who Turned to Teaching to
Make a Living.
In the early part of the life of King
Christian IX. of Denmark there wos
no prospect of his ever becoming tbe
ruler, of that country. With this In
view he became u schoolmaster at the
German university of Halle.
Being too poor to keep a servant, the
Dowager Czarina Dagmar of Russia,
one of his daughters, used to help her
mother to do the household work and
take care of tbe younger children.
During this period there were King
Frederick VII. and several others In
the direct line of succession that stood
before Prince Christian; but, by a succession of deaths that occurred, he became the heir apparent, and after the
death of King Frederick VII. ln 1863
he wns proclaimed King Christian IX.
of Denmark.
Another Instance of a similar nature
Is tbat of Louis Philippe. During tbe
time he was exiled from France, then
being the Due de Cliartres, be became
a teacher of mat hematics and geography In Switzerland About thirty-six or
thirty-seven years afterward, on Aug.
9, 1830, he wns proclaimed King Louis
Philippe of the French.���London Answers.
Puzzling  Differences In Weights.
Which Is heavier, n pound of feathers
or a pouud of lend? They weigh tho
same.
Which Is heavier, a pound of feathers
or a pound of silver'/ Tbo pound of
feathers Is heavier, because feathers
are weighed by avoirdupois weight,
whlcb has 7,000 grains to the pouud,
while the precious metals are weighed
by troy weight, which has oaly 5,700
grains to the pound.
Which ls heavier, an ounce of feathers or an ounce of silver? An ounce of
sliver, because in the troy ounce there
are 480 grains, while In the avoirdupois ounce there are only 437V_ grains.
The avoirdupois pound of 7,000 grains
Is divided Into sixteen ounces, while
the lighter troy pound of 5.7G0 grains Is
divided into twelve heavier ounces.

gave him the nickname of "The File"
from his muklng such dextrous use of
thnt tool, whence probably comes the
modern term of "Ble" . applied to

SCIENCE AND  ART.
A  Storm  as Pictured by the Weather
Bureau and by a Poet.
In commenting on the fact that a
person may be thoroughly equipped on
the scientific side of music without
being sentltlve to Its beauty as an art
Gustuv Kobbe In his book "How to
Appreciate Music" quotes the witty
distinction which Edmund Clarence
Stedmim draws Tn. his "Nature and
Elements of Poetry" between the Indications of a storm as described by a
poet nnd by the official prognostications of the weather bureau.
Mr. Stedman gives two stanzas:
When   descends  on   the Atlantic the  gigantic
Storm wind of the equinox,
Landward ln Ills wroth he scourges ths
tolling* surges,
Laden with seaweed from the rocks.
And this stanza by a later balladlst:
The en3t wind gathered, all unknown,
A thick sea cloud his course before.
He left by night the frozen zone
And smote tho cliffs of Labrador.
He lashed the coasts on cither hand,
And betwixt the Cnno and Newfoundland,
Into tho bays his armies pour.
All this Impersonation and faiviy are
transluted by the weather bureau Into
something like this:
"An area of extreme low pressure Is
rapidly moving up tho Atlantic coast,
w'.th wind aud rain. Storm center now
off Charleston, S. C. Wind N. E.;
velocity, 54; barometer, 29.0. The disturbance will reach New York on
Wednesday and proceed eastward to
the banks and bay of St. Lawrence.

Murder of *Xing Carles Recalls Other
Royal  Tragedies.
Twenty-one rulers of civilized countries murdered in just over a century!
No wonder a timid man like the Tsar
shuts himself up in a fortified palace,
and every one is constantly quoting
Shakespeare's words, "Uneasy lies the
head that wear a crown." And it has
remained for Portugal, which, likelier
neighbor Spain, has been practically
free from royal assassination ��� although attempts have been made by
anarchists and political regicides���to
establish a sad record; for never within modern history, at an rate, have a
sovereign and crown prince been murdered together.
The- assassination of King Alexander
nnd Queen Draga of Servia in June,
1903, is the nearest parallel to the terrible deed which has just horrified
the world. How the young King disgusted his Ministers and the army,
and rendered himself generally unpopular by marrying Madame Masch-
in, his mother's lady-in-waiting, is
too recent history to need more than
a passing mention here. It is interesting to note, however, that most of
the army officers who carried out the
plot, and actually murdered the King
and Queen in the palace, are not only
alive, but still hold prominent military appointments. Moreover, they
were pnid $60,000 for the deed.
"throe years previous to the Servian
tragedy King Humbert of Italy was
slain by the anarchist liresci; while
in 18(18 the cruel and utterly purposeless murder of the beautiful and gracious Empress of Austria took place.
The Empress wns passing through
Genevn on her return from Wiesbaden,
where she had been for treatment of
a heart affection, when she was stabbed with a small file-shaped stiletto,
which pierced her heart. King Humbert was shot while entering his carriage, and it is un extrordinnry fact
that Jie had twice previously escaped
being murdered only by a hair's
breadth. In Naples in 1878 a man
rushed up nud tried to Rtab His Majesty with a poniard, but the King
escaped with a slight scratch; while,
nineteen years later, as King Humbert was driving to tlie Campanile
racecourse, a workman struck nt him
with a dagger. Luckily the blow wus
averted.
Included in the twenty-one rulers
already mentioned are eight Presidents who have been assassinated,
and it is a singular fact that three
of them were Presidents of the United States; and they have all been
murdered within the last forty-five
years. First came President Lincoln
in 1805, Garfield in 1881, and McKin-
ley twenty years later. The murder
of President Lincoln came like a thunderclap to the people of America just
when they were rejoicing that the
great Civil war had come to an end.
Lincoln went to Ford's theatre in
Washington, nnd sat with his family
in a box watching the performance of
"Our American Cousin," when J.
Wilkes Booth, nn nctor, who with others had prepared a plot to assassinate tlie several heads of the Government, entered the box and shot the
President through the brnin.
He then stubbed Major Henry Rath*
bone with n knife, and crying out
"Sic semper tyrnnnus; the South i.*
avenged!" rushed across the stage
through the back door, and escaped
by riding off on a horse which waF
kept waiting for him. He was cap
tured twelve days afterward, however
and  forthwith  shot.
President Garfield was shot, by a
disappointed office seeker, while Mc
Kinley, it mny be remembered, met
his death nt the hands of Czolgosz,
the anarchist, at the Buffalo Exposition.
Four of Russia's Tsars have beer
assassinated, the last being Alexander II. in 1881. Six times did assassins attempt this monarch's life. On
one occasion he only escnpe.d through
the barrel of the assassin's pistol
bursting, while in 18GG, when the dining hall of the Winter Palace was
wrecked by nn explosion proceeding
from the cellars beneath, the Emperor
owed his life to a breach of his usual
punctuality, the company not having
sat down to dinner when the explos
ion took place.
His Majesty's "Guardian Angel,"
however, was powerless agninst the
Nihilists' bombs of 1831. The Emperor was returning to the Wintei
Palace after a military review, when
his carriage wns suddenly shattered
by a bomb. Several of the escort were
killed, but strangely enough the Tsai
himself remained unhurt. After in
quirirfg about the wounded, .His Mn
jesty, with phenomenal coolnfss, continued his progress on foot. He had
advanced but a few steps when nnother bomb exploded, at his feet, nnd
mangled his body in the most frightful manner. He died a few hours
later.
From 1872 to 1^70 four rulers were
assassinated���namelv. Col. Bnltn
President of Peru; Moreno, President
nf Ecuador: Outtierez, President o<
Peru in 1172-3, and the Sultan Abdul
Aziz. At the time it was given out
thnt the latt'T. having gone, mid
hnd committed suicide hy cutting the
arteries of his n.-m; but in June. 1881
various* hish officials, including the
Siilt'in's brother-in-law, were convict
ed nf the murder of the Sultan.

How to  Cure Thorn.
Pimples, face sores, and the kindred eruptions common to late winter and early spring, are the worst
disfigurements tlie fair sex have to
bear. The indoor life of winter has
caused impure matter which the skin
should get rid of for the blood, to
remain in the pores; tlie process of
"exhalation" is interrupted; the
general complexion suffers, and just
where the bud matter collects, pimples, ulcers, and sores quickly appear. To remove the impurities, 'he
pores must be opened and the functions of tlie skin stinn'l.'ited, liy the
vigorous application of Zani-Uuk
mc/.-njng and night, and washing frequently with Zam-Buk Medicinal
Soup. Zam-Buk reaches the root of
tlie disease by soaking through the
skin and tissue nnd its powerful her*
bnl juices expel disease nnd muke
the skin do its work, whicli can't be
done simply by the use of internal
medicine. Miss Ellen Smith, of Soin-
erville Ave., Toronto, snys: "My fnce
wns greatly disfigured by a skin eruption which nnnoyed me dreadfully
for months. I was advised to try
Zam-Bul! and I am glad I did for it
quickly removed the trouble and my
face is now clear of nil  eruptions."
Zam-Buk contains no niiimiil fat
whatever, but is n pure healing salve.
It cures cuts, burns, ehnlings, cold
���iores, itch, eczema, running sores,
ringworm, piles, bnd legs,   inflamed
patches, nnd nil diseased, injured
and irritated conditions of the skin.

A   ROTHSCHILD  STORY..
The Reward That Came to a Student
With a  Heart.
Old Rothschild stories are popular
cow in Europe. "Some are true," says
an English writer, "some are only
clever, nnd many are simply Inventions. But all are read with Interest"
Here is oue from the Bystander, London:
"At a luncheon given by Empress
Eugenie at tbe Tuileries the bead of
the Paris house of Rothschild was
.-eated opposite a great painter. Roth-
-icbild was not blessed wltb good looks
nnd had, moreover, an expression of
listrcss and resignation combined. The
painter could not take his eyes off hlm,
:iud this worried Rothschild not a little. After the meal he nsked the painter wby he had taken so grent an interest In hlm, nnd to bis great amazement the painter Informed hiin that he
Ind studied him as a model for n beggar In a picture he was I lion evolving.
Rothschild's fnce brightened, and be
said. 'I will sit for you.' And lie did.
One day when he was posing a pupil
of tlie painter's was so touched by the
expression of woe on the face of the
model that he slipped a five franc piece
Into the 'poor man's' hand and vanished before nn explanation wns possible. The next dny lho young mnn .received MOO us interest on his well Invested 5 francs."
SHOOTING   WITH   MORTARS.
Hitting the Target Is Simply a Matter
of Mathematics,
now do we hit wltb the mortars?
An observer near the shore who sees
the target communicates the horizontal
and vertical angle at which to lay the
mortar and the Instant of time at
which to fire, and the gun does the
rest. If you were stuudiug ut the center of a lnrge clock dial laid flat on the
ground nnd wanted to hit with a base-
bull n inun walking around on tlie outside, you would notice how long it took
the mnn to get from I to II nnd ng.iln
from II to III. Then ynu would decide whether if the ball were thrown
over n point halfway between 1111 and
V just as he arrived opporllte I IT I the
man and the ball would reach the
same spot at the same time, It being
understood, of course, that he main-
talned uniform speed and direction and
that the ball wns thrown with proper
force. Instruments give us the range
nnd observations, und mechanical devices give us the range differences, Increasing or decreasing by certain short
Intervals of timo, too short for a ship
of any size to escape by attempting to
change direction or speed. Our observer's circle hns 30,000 divisions.���

TOMB  OF THE  MINGS.

Every traveler iu China goes to the
tomb of the Mings if he stays more

Chinese consider tbe Mings the greatest rulers of tbe aucleut kingdom, and
they rank second only to Confucius
The tomb is composed of two colossal
figures facing encb other and elaborately carved In the style affected by
Chinese artists centuries ago. Seen iu
Central park or Versailles they would
look grotesque enough, but stuudiug as
they do among bleak and lonely bills,
outlined ngtiinst tho clear blue oriental
sky, they hnve n rude grandeur and
Imposing simplicity which make them
seem (It guardians of imperial dust.

Flax  tbe  Best  Paying Crop  for  New
Settlers���It   Prepares   the   Soil
for Wheat��� Tho Yield
and   Prices.
The question bus been nsked bow
does tbe yield of flaxseed compare
witli the yield of wheat per acre, and
now do the prices obtained for tin-
two crops OOmpare. A report recently issued by the Saskatchewan Department of Agriculture shows that
the average yield of flaxseed and
wheat respectively for the last throe
veil rs  wits  as  follows:
Yield of Flax-      Yield of Wheat
seed per acre. per acre.
1005      15.73  bushels.      23.09 bushels.
11)06       9.35  bush-els.      21.40  bushels.
1907      10,91  bushels.      14.04 bushels.
Thus the average yield of flaxseed
per acre for the three years was
ibout twelve bushels per acre, while
.ho average yearly yield of wheat
was about nineteen and 11 half busb-
ils per acre. It is probable that the
���educed yield of flaxseed per acre in
,900 and 1907 as compared with 1905
,vatj due to the fact that may Saskatchewan farmers grew flax three
,-ears in succession on the same soil.
To get the best results from flaxseed
t must not be sown year after year
.11 the same soil, Nearly every fur
riot in 'he North-West has land enough to sow part in Hax and part in
jtlier crops, changing about to get
.lie proper rotation. The best results are always obtained when flax*
ieed is sown after the first breaking
if the prairie soil.
As regards prices at the present
Jine, No. 1 wheat and flaxseed an*
selling nt nearly the same prices, but
this is very unusual, being due cliief-
y to the following facts. 1. Then
was an exceptionally benvy crop oi
laxseed in the Argentine Republic
and other parts of South America last
/ear. 2. Tlie financial depression
caused a falling off In the production
if those classes of goods in the mak-
.ng o' wliicu flaxseed and linseed oil
ure used ns raw materials. These
causes nre very exceptional and may
lot occur again for years. Lastyeai
.is high as 1.1.38 per bushel was paid
ior flaxseed, and the average price
was about $1.27 per bushel. On the
other hand the price of wheat is at
present exceptionally high. Then in
considering the yield of wheat laet
year as compared with that'*of flax.
it should be noted that much of the
.vheat did not grade very high and
would not command the full price.
However the important point to
remember regarding flaxseed is that
it can be sown so much later than
wheat that very often a farmer can
utilize land t-.at would otherwise go
without any crop at all. After the
wheat, oats and barley have been
iowii the flaxseed may be put in.
Then except in the early spring the
ilax is less liable to injury from frost
than the wheat, and the farmer who
has part of his land in flaxseed may
ieel that be is insured against total
loss if frost should destroy his wheat.
The new settlers are the ones for
whom flaxseed is the most profitable,
not only because it can be sown later
than any other crop, but also because when sown on flrst breaking it
prepares the land for a wheat crop
the following year. Thus the farmer
gets the auvantage of a good paying
crop the first year from land which
would otherwise yield him no return
at all, and he has a bigger crop of
wheat on the same soil tbe following
/ear, because the flax crop rots the
sod and disintegrates it.

"Lieutenant Shackleton, tho young
iMiglisliman who will try to reach

York geographer.
"At a dinner in Lieutenant Shnc-
-.deton's honor I once beard him say
with a humorous glance toward several grizzled explorers whose lives
und been passed in looking for the
north  pole:
" 'After all, who was this Colum
bus that we should make such a fuss
jver him? Surely, gentlemen, Col-
imbus was an overrated man. The
tusk he performed was an easy one
Why, he discovered America the very
.irst time he went to look for it."

The Home Paper.
The mail or woman who dues not
rend his or her home papers can not
keep in touch with things at homo
and hoine matters to each and every
one of us, says the National Daily.
A great journalist is on record as
saying that the real secret of success
in journalism is knowledge and proper appreciation of tlio true perspective of news. The same idea was
somewhat differently expressed by
11 Parisian who declined that "a dead
dog on a Parisian boulevard was of
far more importance to a resident ef
Paris than tne drowning of tlie population of a whole province in China.
Ot the overflowing of the Yalu river."
It is tlio duty and it ought to be
the pleasure of a town, village or
rural oommunityto support the town,
village or county paper or papers.
Tn doing so there is mutual benefit
that must be beneficial to the entire
community. The country press of
today is more enlightened and is conducted on a higher plane than it ever
was. The so-called provincial press
was never as worthy of support as it
is right now. Good papers make for
the good of the community in which
they are printed and circulated. No
resident of a town or rural district
can be said to keep in step with the
times and with bis fellowinen, who
does not support and read his local
paper. It may seem to the unthinking that some of the chronicling, i.f
the country press are of a trivial
nature, but one of America's greatest poets aptly says: "These littlo
tilings are great to little men." And
what is any man but little when compared with infinitude?���Western Publisher.
To Build Up
After Crip
There is no restorative treatment
comparable to Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Food.
Few, if any, ilisunses so quickly
and thoroughly exhaust tlie human
strength and vitality as the grippe
and pneumonia. A few days' sickness and then weeks or even montli3
are required to get back the old
vigor.
But by means of Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Food to sharpen tbe appetite
and to supply in condensed and
easily assimilated form the elements
which go to form rich, red blood you
can hasten recovery and restoration
to a remarkable degree.
Without such assistance many drag
6ut a miserable existence of weakness only to become victims to some
dreadful disease.
When the blood is thin and weak
and the nervous system exhausted,
no matter from what cause, Dr. A.
VV. Chase's Nerve Food can be positively relied upon to gradually and
naturally   build   up   the   system.

The following letter, from (lie Mc
Naughton Fruit and Produce Exchange,
has been received by Mr. H. Cue, Secretary of the Town Improvement Society,
ami will be of iutenst to shippers of
etiawberries:���
Dear Sir,
As the strawberry season is getting
very close, we take tlie liberty of
writing you in reference to metbodB of
shipping.
From experience of past years we
are in a position lo tell you that
shipping strawberries in ordinary express cars in large quantities, when
tbey have lo be transferred once or
ofteuer on tbe way, is anything but a
satisfactory method of transportation.
We strongly advise growera who
have a large enougli quantity to
load refrigerator cars to do so, and
would advise growers with smaller
quantities to get together and load refrigerator cars between them, and
then have tbe cars hitched to express
trains. In tbis way we believe a
lower rate can be obtained and the
refrigeration will mean that the berries will land in our market in good
condition, and if tbere is one thing
tbat tbis maiket is famous for, we
think it ia long prices fur fancy quality of fruit. We have, durii.g ihe
winter time, consulted several times
witli the C. P. R. officials here with
reference to a refrigerator car service
for B.C. fruit to Winnipeg, and we
have tlieir assurance that refrigerator
cars will be placed at the princip:
fiuit shipping points in B.C. three
tunes a week if necessary, providing
tbey get reasonable assurance that
cars will  be loaded.   They ask   for
