a strong etand against iho abomination
of desolation, misnamed electric lights,
being inflicted upon the community by
the company owning the New Denver
Electric Light plain.
We have waited, in common with all
other users of the system, for an ollicial
���statement bearing upon any unforeseen
accident by which the electrical machinery waa perhaps temporarily disabled,
or some explanation given why the
plant i�� not working, or some assurance
that'.within a specified time the lights
would again be switched on, and that
when they do appear they will be
more voluminous than the wretched
misnomers we hnve suffered during ill
vinter thus far. But wo are, mcta-
horieally mid literally, in tho dark.
True ft notice bas been tacked on to a
-lephuiie polo near tho Bank, to the
ffeet that until the frost lat up no
���;hts would appear, and although it
bore the name of one of the company's
officials, it. is so indefinite that a',(eeling
of profound indignation is manifest.
Tlie company will have to speedily
eal-ze that this style of doing business
not orthodox and the long-suffering
crs will not stand fjr it. We suppose
that, as in any other line of business,
���e consumer is the whole " it " with a
P".*apital 1 when it comes to a -.how-down.
The company must not imagine that
ecaiise they have secured a charter
hat such charter is unconditional. Far
from it. But tho public will five and
take ami mnku allowances for unforeseen accidents and allo.r reasonable
time for the necessary repairs to be
doue, but when no effort is being mado
to keep tlie plant in good working order,
(hen the public should interest Itself in
the terms of the charter and compel
the company to follow it more lo tlie
niter, nnd thftt failing, to ..wrest tho
charter from them .
We have received several communications from prominent citizefia relating
to this matter, but our letterB if they
appeared in Ihose columns would be
.'over pen names, and for this reason we
iav. decided not publish them. Their
.ppearance would only engender Hiding, and that we wish to avoid.

Ami now wo lift our pen to tackle a
subject that has agitated the local public, considerably of late. We allude to
the correspondence or, and con which
has been written to the press regarding
tho " Slocan License Dislrict." First of
all we wish it to be distinctly understood that we are in ns good a position
to form an unbiassed opinion upon tbis

perhaps say better���but thnt is en

It is a loathsome picture, but it is justified in that lhe subject may be better
grasped.
With no home ties, affections, or
elevating influences around hiin, he is
to Mrs. (Irunny a social pariah, aud is
ostracized from society. N,o kind words
are uttered to bim by those whose mission it Bhould bo to do bo, for fear .*
what Mrs. Grundy might say if lie or
she were seen hobnobbing with a person
of questionable habits. They are too
apt to pans by on the other side with a
horrified look on their faces and words
of unjust criticism on their lips directed
against tho proprietor of the house at
which tlie poor wntch is neaiest to at
that moment. It does not come within
Mrs. Grundy's range to ascertain how
and where heJ_obtai:>ed the liquor. It
haa never occurred to Ihein that a
drunken man is us much a hindrance to
a hotel man running a half decent
housefas ho would be to any other kind
of business man, but yet .it often happens that, for fear of what Mrs. Grundy
might say the poor devil is brought ill
from the street to the hotel and allowed
to sleep off a little of the effect of his
libations.
We have in mind a case, by citing
which, we.hope to better illustrate our
meaning, and nil the circumstances
came under our own personal observation. Some six months ago there came
to a cet tain town a man badly under tho
inlluence. Nobody know him. He was
just the Man from Nowhere. He was
penniless, but for s nimth he remained
n town always in a la sotted condition.
J*, is certain ihat, no hotel man wai
giving him whisky, and lots of it, for
nothing. When after nil efforts had
failed to induce this worthless fellow to
go to work, he wub told to " hit the
grit," which ho did after a jyhile. Six
weeks later we visited another town,
and there we again encountered the
man, still broke, itill drunk. To all it
was a mystery where he got the liquor,
Tho proprietor told us in confidence he
w��s getting alarmed for the man. For
a month, lie still, the man had hud
around, "eating barely enough to keep
body and foul of an infant together.
He c-jncluded, perhaps rightly, that the
man regularly ,stole a bottle of liquor
every mnrnins from oue of tbe bars in
the town fcWentnally he went as he
came, qnietly, and without ft " By your
leave."
A month later we met. the Man from
Nowhere again, and tbe old story was
again unfolded lo us by a hotel
mau in anew town. Three davs later we
encountered him again in yet another
part cf the district, but this time, the
man appeared to bu almost in extremis.
We felt it incumbent upon us to communicate our knowledge of the man to
the proprietor. The bartender was for
telling the mau to instantly " git," but
wu admit the remarks and subsequent
action of tho landlord knocked us somewhat of a heap.
" Look bore," he said, " that prior
devil nfods attention, nnd quick too.
I know if he dies in this house I will bo
blamed for it; but what am I to do ?
We have no doctor or hospital, ami the
man is broke. I can't kick him out
into the street to die like a -log! " And
with Ihat lie took the man to bed and
put him under the sole charge of* tv
trustworthy fellow. He next wrote
out a notice, which ho posted In the bar,
calling fur thc co-operation of hia patrons in his endeavor to prevent"
thp indiscriminate supply ol liquor to
tho sick man. The,' man is now alive
and well.
But. liarking'back to the circumstances
attending the case at Silverton, it
ought to be known tl\at the man suffered greatly from kidney trouble and a
derangement of the bladder, and when
under tho inlluence of strong drink his
weakness was very pronounced. It can
be Imagined that under such conditions
ho was not a very desirable boarder,
and after having some words *y**rarding
the matter with one hotel proprietor, lie
was refu'sed further admissiou to lhe
hotel until he s DOl'Ou np,
Slocan Xake Jrmt Hanoe*
Better

It was after this that he changed his
location, and the proprietor of the
Windsor took him in, his wad liy this
time being at, the vanishing point.
By reason of Iuh affliction a room was
prepared for him at the top of the building. He slaved around all day and
later complained of excrnliat irg -gains
in his head. Getting worse, he was
put to bed and the proprietor himself
journeyed to New Denver for the doctor,
but the man expired before medical assistance, could arrive.
The Coroner was summoned, and after
an exanilnarion of the remains an inquest was deemed unnecessary. It wns
palpable that kidney and bladder trouble
contributed largely to the man's demise,
add to which the bursting of a blood
vessel or an hemorrhage occurring In
the man's head a few minut'es beiore
life became extinct, Blood (lowed
copiously from the ears, nose and mouth.
These harrowing details would never
hnvo been dragged from us but for the
fact that indi*.criminate writings have
left a stigma upon one whom investigation proves tho conveyed hints and
accusations are unwarranted.
Of course there are two sides to a
picture. The accusers learn of the
man's death in the hotel and at once
put their own construction upon it.
It was hardly fair, though, to rui-h into
print without being acquainted with the
fact, and the ultima tluilo is reached if
to forward a temperance propaganda a
scapegoat has to be made of any man.
It is not fair to Infer that Silverton ia a
harder drinking camp than any other
our experience of western mining camps
forces from us a different conclusion.
Let usfcy all means battle with the excessive drinking curse, but let us proceed to do thia in a manner that will
meet with approval, and our tactics be
such as will_redound to our credit.

A SUBSCRIPTION LIBRARY,
At the meeting of those interested
in the scheme of forming a library in
town, it wns agreed that the idea, of
forming a Reading Renin in connection
with the library be dropped meanwhile,
and tleut effort be confined to securing
a regular supply of reading material.
Tne subscription was lixed at one dollar
entrance fee and 'iii cents monthly. To
arrange for selection, purchase and dis-
tiihutian of hooka the following committee wero appointed! Dr. Brouse,
Mr. C. F. Nelson, Mr. A. St, Clair
Brindl'e (librarian), Sirs. Harris, and
Mrs. Rankine (sec.-treat.),
Those who have Indicated their willingness to join aro re,.nested to send to
Mrs. Rankine as soon as possible a list
of six books which they would suggest
being bought. From'the lists so ob*
allied, the first selection .hall he
made. Anv in town who possess
books which they care to lend to members would oblige by sending the names
of such hooks to Mrs. VUnkine. A list
of such books and the names of those
willing to lend tliem would be kept
witli the library.
It is hoped thnt many in town will
yet join the library, that as good a collection of bonks ns pos'.hle may be obtained. As there will be practically no
expense beyond the providing of a bookcase nearly tho entiro subscription will
he devoted to the purchase of books.

CHAPTER VI.
Had it not been for the presence of
Dr. Holbrook, who accepting Guy's
invitation to tea, rode back with him
to Aikenside, Mra. Agnes woukf have
gone off into a passion when told that
Jessie had been "exposed to fever
and mercy knows what."
"There's no telling what one will
catch among the very poor/' she said
to Dr. Holbrook, as she clasped and
unclasped the heavy gold bracelets
flashing on her whit^, round arm.
"I'll be answerable for any disease
Jessie caught at Mr. Markham's,"
the doctor replied.
"At Mr. Who's? Whnt did you call
him?" Agnes asked, the bright color
on her cheek fading as the doctor replied : ^-
"Markham���an old man who lives
in Honedale. You never knew him,
of course."
Involuntarily Agnes glanced at Guy,
in whose eye there was, as she fancied, a peculiar expression. Could
it be he knew the secret she guarded
so carefully? Impossible, she said to
herself; but still the white fingers
trembled as she handled the china
and silver, and for once she was glad
when the doctor took his leave, and
she was alone with Jessje.
"What was that girl's name?" Bhe
asked, "the one you went to see?"
"Maddy, mother���Madeline Clyde.
She'B so pretty. I'm going'to see her
again. May I?"
Agnes did not reply directly, but
continued to question the child with
regard to the cottage which Jessie
thought so funny, slanting away back,
she said, so that the roof on one side
almost touched the ground. The window panes, too, were so very, tiny,
and the room where Maddy lay sick
was small and low.
"Yes, yes, I know," Agnes said at
last, impatiently, weary of hearing of
the cottage whose humble exterior
and interior she knew so much better than Jessie herself.
But this was not to be divulged;
for surely the haughty Agnes Remington, who, in*. Boston, aspired to
lead in society into which, as the
wife of Dr. Remington, she had been
admitted, and who, in Aikenside, was-
looked upon with envy, could have
nothing in common with the red cottage or its inmates. So when Jessie
asked again if she could not visit
Maddy on the morrow, she answered
decidedly: "No. daur'iter, no. I do
not wish you to associate with such
people," and when Jessie insisted on
knowing why she must not associate
with sueh people ns Maddy Clyde,
the answer was: "Because you are a
Remington," and as if this of itself
were an unanswerable objection,
Agnes sent her child from her, refusing to talk longer on a subject so disagreeable to her and so suggestive
of the past. It was all in vain that
Jessie, and even Guy himself, tried
to revoke the decision. Jessie should
not be permitted to come in contact
with that kind of people, she said,
or incur the risk of catching that
dreadful fever.
So day after day, while life and
health were slowly throbbing through
her veins. Maddy waited and longed
for the little girl whose one visit to
her sick room sc-med so much like a
dream. From hor grandfather she
had heard the good news of Guy Remington's generosity, and that, quite
as much as Br. Holbrook's medicines,
helped to bring the color back to the
pallid cheek and tlie brightness to
her eyes.
She was asleep the first time the
doctor came after the occasion of Jessie's visit, and as sleep, he said,
would do her more good than anything he might prescribe, he did not
awaken her; but for a long time, as
it seemed to Grandma Markham.
who stood very little in awe of the
Boston doctor, he watched her as she
slept, now clasping the blue-veined
wrist as he felt for the pulse, and
now wiping from her forehead the
drops of swent, or pushing back her
soft, damp hair. It would be three
days before he could Fee her again,
for a stek father in Cambridge needed
his attention, and after numerous directions as to the administering of
sundry powders and pills, he left her,
feeling that the next three days would
be long ones t*. him. Dr. Holbrooli
did not stop to analyze the nature of
his interest in Madily Clyde���an interest so different from any he hud
ever felt before for his patients; and
even if he had sought to solve the
riddle, he would hnve said that the
knowing how he had wronged her was
the sole cause of his thinking far
more of her and of her case than of
the thirty other patients on his list.
Dr. Holbrook was a handsome man,
a- thorough scholar, nnd a most skillful physician; but ladies who expected from him those little polite attentions which the sex value so highly,
generally expected in vain, for he was
no ladies' man, and his language and
manners were oftentimes abrupt, even
when both were prompted by the utmost kindness of heart. In his organization, too, there was not a quick
perception of what would be exactly
appropriate, and so, when, at last,
he was about starting to visit Maddy
again, he puzzled his brains until
they fairly ached with wondering
what he could do to give her a pleasant surprise nnd sho*v that he was
not as formidable a personage as her
past experience might lead her to
think.
"If I could only take her something," he said, glancing ruefully
around his office. "_>low, if she were
JeBsie, nuts and raisins might answer���but she must not eat such
trash as that," and he Bet himself to
think again, just as Guy Remington
rode up, bearing in his hand a most
exquisite bouquet, whose fragrance
filled the niedicine-odored office at
once, and whose beauty elicited an
exclamation of delight even from the
matter-of-fact Dr. Holbrook.
"I thought you might be going
down to * Honedale, as I knew you
returned last night, so I brought
theBe flowers for your patient with
my compliments, or if you prefer I
give them to you, and you can thus
present them as if eoming from yourself."
\ "As if I would do that," the doctor answered, taking the bouquet in
bja band tin*, .butter to examine and
adthiriT it." "Did you arrange it. Or
your gardener?" he asked, and when
Guy replied that the merit of arrangement, if merit there were, belonged
to himself, he began to deprecate hia
own awkwardness and want of tact.
"Here I have been cudgeling my head
this half-hour trying to think what
I could take her as a peace offering,
and could think of nothing, while
you Well, you and 1 are different entirely. You know just what is
proper���just what to Bay, and when
to say it���while I am a perfect bore,
and without doubt shall make some
ludicrous blunder in delivering the
flowers. To-day will be the first time
really .that we meet, as she was sleeping when 1 was there last, while on
all other occasions she has paid no
attention whatever to me."
For a moment Guy regarded his
friend attentively, noticing now that
extra care had been bestowed upon
his toilet, that the collar was fresh
from the laundry, and the new cravat
tied in a most unexceptionable manner, instead of being twisted into a
hard knot, with ike ends looking as if
they had been chewed.
"Doc," he said, when his survey
was completed "how old are you���
twenty-five or twenty-six?"
"T\yenty-five���just your age���why?"
and the doctor looked with an expression so wholly innocent of Guy's
real meaning that the latter, instead
of telling why, replied:
"Oh! nothing; only I was wondering if you would do to be my father
Agnes,'I verily believe, is more than
half in love with you; but, on the
whole, I would not like to be your
son; so I guess you'd better take
someone younger���say Jessie. You
an* only eighteen years her senior."
The doctor stared at him amazed,
and when he had finished said with
the utmost candor: "What has ttiat
to do with Madeline? I thought we
were talking of her."
"Innocent as the newly-born bahe,"
was Guy's mental comment, as he
congratulated himself on his larger
and more varied experience.
And truly Dr. Holbrook was as
simple-hearted as a child, never
dreaming of Guy's meaning,\ or that
any emotion save a perfectly proper
one had a lodgment in his breast as
he drove down to Honedale, guarding
carefully Guy's bouquet, and wishing
he knew just what he ought to say
when he presented it.
Maddy had gained rapidly the last
three days. Good nursing and the
doctor'^ medicines were working mir
acles, and on the morning when the
doctor, with Guy's bouquet, was riding rapidly toward Honedale, she
was feeling so much better that in
view of his coming she asked if. she
could not be permitted to receive him
sitting in the rocking-chair, instead of
lying there in bed, and when this
plan was vetoed as utterly impossible,
she asked anxiously:
"And must I see him in this nightgown Can't I have on my pink gingham wrapper?"
Hitherto Maddy had been too sick
to care at all nbout her personal appearance, but it was different now.
She did care, and thoughts of meeting again the handsome, stylish-looking man who had asked her to eon-
jugate amo, and whom she fully believed to be Dr. Holbrook, made her
rather nervous. Dim remembrances
she had of someone gliding in and
out, and when the pain and noise
in her head was at its highest, a
hand, large, and, oh I so cool, had
been laid upon her temples, quieting
their throbbings, and making the
blood course less madly through the
swollen veins. They had told her
how kind, how attentive he had been,
and to herself she had said: "He's
sorry about that certificate. He
wishes to show uie that he did not
mean to be unkind. Yes; I forgive
him; for [ really was very stupid
that afternoon."
And so, in a most forgiving frame
of mind. Maddy submitted to the
snowy robe which grandma brought
in place of the coveted gingham wrapper, and which became her well, with
its daintily crimped ruffles about the
neck and wrists. Those wrists and
hands! , How white ami small they
had grown ! and Madty yighed, as
her grandmother buttoned together
the wristbands, lo set ho.v loose the
wrapper was.
"I have been very sick," she said.
"Are my cheeks as thin as my arms?"
They were not. though they had
lost some of their symmetrical roundness. Still there was much of childish beauty in the young, eager face,
and the hair had lost comparatively
none of its glossy brightness.
"That's him," grandma said, as the
sound of a horse's gallop was heard,
and in a moment the doctor reined
up before the gate.
From Mrs. Markham, who met him
in the door, he learned how much
better she was; also how "she has
been reckoning on this visit, making
herself all a-swent about it."
Suddenly the doctor felt- returning
nil his old dread of Maddy Clyde.
Why should she worry herself into
a sweat? What was there in that
visit different from any other? Nothing, he said to himself, nothing; and
yet he, too, had been more anxious
about it than any he had ever paid.
Depositing his hat and gloves upon
the table, he followed Mrs. Markham
up the stairs, vaguely consciotiB of
wishing she would stay down, and
very conscious of feeling glad; when
just at Maddy's door and opposite a
little window, she espied the hens
busily engaged in devouring the yeast
cakes with which she had taken so
much pains, and which Bhe had placed in the hot sun to dry. Finding
that they paid no heed to her loud
"Shoo, shoo," Bhe started herself to
drive tliem away, telling the doctor
to go right on and to help himself.
The perspiration was standing under Maddy's ha'r by this time, and
when the doctor stepped acroBS the
threshold, and she knew he really
was coming near her, it oozed out
upon her forehead in big, round
drops, while her cheeks glowed with
a feverish heat. Thinking he should
get along with it better if he treated
her just as he would Jessie, the doctor confronted her at once, and asked *.
"How is my little patient to-day?"
A faint scream broke from Maddy's
lips, and she involuntarily raised her
luuul.* t_�� tlu-iut tho atroiurar awav.
T?!is~ hla'aW-Jed, mac��-h'**QTe<l" tTiT36-
Set man was not Dr. Holbrook, for
he was taller and more slight, while
she had not been deceived in the dark
brown eyes which, even while they
seemed to be mocking her, had worn a
strange fascination for the maiden of
fourteen and a half. The doctor fancied her delirious again, and this reassured him at once. Dropping the
bouquet upon the bed, he clasped one
of her hands in his, and without the
slightest idea that she comprehended
him. said, Boothingly:
"Poor child, are you afraid of me
���the doctor, Dr. Holbrook?"
Maddy did not try to withdraw her
hand, but raising her eyes, swimming
in tears,- to his face, she stammered
out:
"What does it mean, and where is
he���the one who���asked me���those
dreadful questions? I thought that
was Dr. Holbrook."
Here was a dilemma���something for
which the doctor was not prepared,
ami with a feeling that he would not
betray Guy, he said:"
"No; that was someone else ��� a
friend of mine���but I was there in the
back office. Don't you remember me?
Please don't grow excited. Compose
yourself, and I will explain all by
and by. This is wrong. 'Twill never
do," and talking thus rapidly he wiped away the sweat, about which grandma had told him.
Maddy was disappointed, and it
took her some time to rally sufficiently to convince the doctor that she
was not flighty, ns he termed it; but
composing herself nt last, she answered all his questions, and then, as
he saw her eyes wandering toward
the bouquet, lie suddenly remembered
that it was not yet presented, and
placing it in her hands, he said:
"You like flowers, I know, and
these are for you. I "
"Oh! thank you, thank you, doctor; I am so glad. I love them so
much, nnd you are so kind. What
made you think to bring them? 1
wanted flowers so badly; but I could
not have them, because I was sick
and did not work in the garden, tt
was bo good in you," and in her delight Mfvddy's tears dropped upon the
fair blossoms. .
For a moment the doctor was sorely tempted to keep the credit thus
enthusiastically given; but he was
too truthful for tbat, and bo watching her as her eyes glistened with
pleasure, he said;
"I am glad you like them. Miss-
Clyde, and so will Mr. Remington be.
He sent them to you from his conservatory."
"Not Mr. Remington from Aikenside���not Jessie's brother?" and Maddy's eyes now fairly danced as tbey
sought the doctor's face.
"Yes, Jessie's brother. He came
here with her. He is* interested in
you, and brought these do-jfii this
morning."
"It was Jessie, I guess, who sent
them," Maddy suggested, but the doctor persisted that it was Guy.
"He wished me to present them
with his compliments. He thought
they might please you."
"Oh! they do,v tliey do!" Maddy
replied. "They almost make me well.
Tell him how much I thank him,
and like him, to, though I never saw
him."
The doctor opened his lips to tell
her she had seen him, but changed
his mind ere the words were utterd.
She might not think as well of Guy,
he thought, and there was no harm
in keeping it back.
So Maddy had no suspicion that
the face she thought of so much belonged to Guy Remington. She had
never seen him, of course; but she
hoped she would some time, so as tc*.
thank him for his generosity to her
grandfather and his kindness to herself. Then, as she remembered the
message she had sent him, she began to think that it sounded too familiar, and said to lhe doctor:
"If you please, don't tell Mr.
Remington that I said I liked him���
only thnt I thank him. He would
think it queer for a poor girl like
me to send such word to him. He is
very rich, and handsome, and splendid, isn't he?"
"Yes, Guy's rioh and handsome,
and everybody likes him. We were
in college together."
"You were?" Maddy exclaimed.
"Then you know him weil, and Jes
sie, and you've been to Aikensidt
often? There's nothing in the worrd
;'l want so much as to go to Aikei.
side. They sny it is so beautiful."
"Maybe I'll carry you up then-
some day when you are strong enough to ride," the doctor answered,
thinking of his light buggy at home,
and wondering he hnd not used it
more, instead of always riding on
horseback.
Dr. Holbrook looked much oldei
.than he was, and to Mnddy he seemed
quite fatherly, so that the idea of
riding with him. aside from the honor
it might be to her, struck her much
as riding with Fnrmer Green would
have done. The doctor, too, imagined that his proposition was prompted
solely from disinterested motives, but
he found himself wondering how long
it would be before Maddy would he
able to ride n little distance, juBt
over the hill nnd back. He was tiring
her nil out talking to her; but somehow it was very delightful there in
that sick room, with the summer sunshine stealing through th^window
and falling upon the soft reddish-
brown head resting on the pillows.
Once he fixed those pillows, arranging
them so nicely that grandma, whc
had come in from her hens and yeast
cakes, declared "he was as handj
as a woman," and after receiving a
few general directions with regard te
the future, "guessed, if he wasn't in
a hurry, she'd leave him with Mad
dy a spell, as there were a few chores
she. must do."

Inside and Outside Thieves In th* Big
Department Stores.
The fixed charges of a department
store most cover the loss ot breakage
ind genera! destruction, the failure
if goods to sell aud theft. The cheaper stores suffer more seriously from
thieving than the higher priced ones
because Vieir employees are less trustworthy. For years the proprietors estimated that Iheir theft losses were
due half to tlieir dishonest employees
and half to outsiders, but not one of
them would venture to estimate the
total. Tbere is n curious staudard of
ethics among some of the employees.
They *Uo uot regard taking articles for
their own use us theft, whereas to
take them for some one else, even a
member of the family, is plaiu robbery.
Almost never are these -guilty ones

When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
Came to His Rescue
"My strength was almost gone, my
breath very short and I could hardly

they did not help me. - Finally a
friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. 1 did so and today, thanks to tlie pilfs, I am a perfectly well man."
This very emphatic statement is
made by Mr. R. L. Porter, of Mait-

I could attend to my work, but often
was too weak and miserable to do so.
I was wakeful and restless at night,
and could not eat in the morning. I
was* troubled with pains in my back
and shoulders; sometimes I could
hardly straighten up. Then indigestion came to add to my misery, and
my condition was one that made me
almost hopeless. I tried several medicines���but in vain. Then one day a
friend said why don't you try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills? I tried them
and I shall always be grateful for
them. In a short time I began to regain my health. I could eat better,
and could eat any kind of food. My
strength returned. I could attend to
my work. I was in fact perfectly well
again, and this is actually due to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up
the strength and drive out disease in
just one way���they actually make new
red blood. That is all they do, but
they do it well. They don't act on
the bowels���they don't purge ' and
weaken like common pills. They
don't bother with mere symptoms���
tliey go right to the root of tlie trouble
in the blood. That is why they cure
anaemia, with all its headaches and
backaches and" dizziness and heart
palpitation. That is why they cure
indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.

QUICK WIT IN WAR.
How Mossy Turned a Situation to Hia
Own Advantage.
Much of the success of Colonel Moa*
by and his partisan rangers ln the
Shenandoah valley was due to their
dash and bravery, but nu almost equal
amount to the quick wit of their
leader, who. says the author of "Mos*
by's Men." was never at a loss to turn
a situation to his own advantage.
One night, while scouting with four
or five of his men on the Winchester
pike, he saw a squad of cavalry approaching from the direction of towo*-
It was the Federal patrol on Its rounds,
and Moshy nnd his men were between
them and their camp. When they got
within ball they stopped and Inquired
of the Confederates who* they were.
"Friends, with the countersign," replied Colouel Moshy, with his best Imitation Yankee twang.
"One of you advance, then, and give
thc countersign," wns the response.
"No." suid the colonel sharply, "you
are coming from the direction of the
enemy. One of you advance."
As this was on entirely correct proposition, one of theiu rode forward.
When he came up tbe colonel said to
bim lu a low but terribly distinct voice
as he leveled h's revolver at him:
"Give the alarm and you nre a dead
man! I urn Moshy. Call to the others
thrt It is all right and to come on."
The prisoner did so, aud five more of
Uncle Sam's gallant defenders raurcbed
confidently up to the muzzles of as
many revolvers and quietly surrendered.

Simple and Effective Graft Scheme
Worked In New York.
Here is the story of a graft so simple
and effective to work that,some enter
prising stranger should patent it. II
was practiced by a New York genius
and had Its try-out on the rfespectable
upper west side of the big city.
The originator set out dressed as a
workman, his clothes rusty, but neatly
patched. Arriving In the neighborhood
he had deeided to work, he stepped
Into mi arch way and, hauling* out a
knife, slit the right leg of his trousers
from hip to knee.
Next he produced a newspaper,
spread It out and held It over the silt
In his trousers. Leaving the areb
way, he hurried along the sidewalk,
making apparently a great effort to
hold the newspaper ln place.
The wind was blowing and whoever
cared to look noticed the man's predicament. At the steps of a big house
In Seventy-second street he stopped
nnd pretended to tie the paper about
I..3 leg. Ky a perhaps not very strange
Chance, since the hour was 5:15 p. m..
the owner of tbe house appeared.
The grafter greeted the man briefly,
lifted tbe newspaper nnd remarked:
"I Just hnd an accident over on Columbus avenue. Truck shoved me
against a stake and tore me pante
somethin' awful. Wonder if you
couldn't lend me some safety plus?"
It was successful. From that house
ihe mnn curried nway uot only n
readily snlnble pair of trousers, but n
hat and coat as well. A quick trip to
n eorner saloon to deposit his bundle,
nnd the tnle of the torn trousers le?
was earrled to another house in the
block.
An observer with more sheer curiosity thnn police Instinct watched thr
collection of six bundles from six
houses In Seventy-second street before
he reluctantly left the window nnd
went In' to dinner. ��� New York Cor

Great Men on Night Work.
Professor Goldwin Smith. Canada's
grand old man, who celebrated his
eighty-fourth birthday recently, "set
out a sickly child with a bad lane
of life," to quote his own words. "1
was sent," he continues, "when 1
was rather more than eight years old
to a private school chosen for me on
account of tae healthiness of the situation. Our work wns light. I probably owed something to plain living
and bodily exercise, as well aa to immunity from overwork. I have always
taken plenty of exercise, indulged a
little in my own country in field
sports, and traversed Switzerland and
the Tyrol with my knapsack." The
veteran author, who has preserved
such extraordinary intellectual alertness, says that he does not believe in
night work. He once congratulated
Sir Richard Bethrll at the height of
his career on the ease with which he
seemed to bear his heavy burden.
"Yes," he Baid, "I owe it, under Providence, to my habit orj working early
in tbe morning, not late at night. I
set out in life with many dear friends
who worked at night. I have buried
them all."

The West is Calling
I hear the wild West calling me;
The call rings sweet and clear
From woodland glades and mountains,
From silver lakes and fountains.
The haunts of hern and deer.
Oh, the west has wondrous voices
Which sing a syren strain
do witchingly appealing,
Through all the senses stealing.
To lure one back again.
From the broad and billowy prairie,
The breezes waft the call;
Where the canyon hides its flowers,
Where the Rocky summit towers.
It sounds at evening fall.
Where stars are glittering overhead.
And camp fires gleam around;
Where through the forest arches,
the moose, unchallenged, marches,
And the wolves weird cries resound.
Oh, the rapture of tlie wilds
In yonder wide, wide west.
From the plains, that without measure
Unroll their golden treasure,!
To the purple mountain's crest.
Tlie West is wav'iig welcome
To thoBe who would be free
From the city's dust and clamor,
And by its stubble glamor,
The WeBt has conquered me.
I pine to breathe again its air,
To scale the mountain Bide,
When the setting sun comes glinting,
The famous torrent tinting,
Ueyond the Great Divide I

Pen Pictures of Ito
On one stage of that journey I had
a long talk with him. I looked with
interest, as we sat together in liis private car, at the figure before me. Tlie
broad capacious forehead, the huge
ears, the teeth blackened with much
smoking, tlie moustache and goatee
trimmed with ailver, and the well-
brushed hair were all the framework
tor a pair of luminous, kindly, piercing eyes, that seemed to read one
through and through. The thickset
body proclaimed tlie physical vigor
o. the man which is to-day almost a
proverb in Japan. "Ito at sixty could
do more than the young men at twenty," your Japanese neighbor will tell
you. And when he began to ta'k, one
appreciated the fact that here was a
son of Nippon who had apparently
thrown off Oriental habits of thought.
There was a frankness, an openneBS
and an air of confidence about his
conversation that could not fail to entrance one.���F. A. McKenzie, in Cas-

Cut Off the Other Arm *��
They thought more of the Legion of
Honor in the time of the the fi''st Napoleon than they do now," said a well
known Frenchman. "The Emperor
one day met an old one-armed veteran.
" 'How did you lose your arm?' he
asked.
" 'Sir, nt Austerlitz.'
" 'And were you not decorated?'
" 'No, sire.'
" 'Then here is my own cross for
you; 1 make you chevalier.'
" 'Your Majesty names me chevalier
because I have lost one arm I What
would your Majesty have done had I
lost both arms?'
" 'Oh, in that ease I should have
made you Officer of the Legion.'
"Whereupon the old soldier immediately drew his sword and cut off hiB
other arm."
There is no particular reason to
doubt this story. The only question
is, how did he do it.
Monorail in India
India's Government is making a
practical test of a monorail system.
It is described as follows:��� "On
grooved wheels, arranged tandem
fashion, is carried a platform. The
grooved wheels run upon a rail which
projects an inch or two above the
ground. Another wheel, of large
diameter and having a broad tread,
is attached to the car by a hinged arm
working on springs. This wheel ia
light in construction any) weight. It
is merely the balance wheel and is
placed a few inches from one side of
the car and runs on the road. It carries no load whatever, the whole load
being on tlie rail and the central
wheels, but it effectually prevents tne
cars being overbalanced. On this
monorail road tlie power of a pair of
draft uninials is multiplied by ten and
of traction engines by nearly twenty,
and the line is capable of being laid
lis rapidly as any army can move."
'Aint No Such Animal

circus for the first time, stood before
the droinandary's cage, eyes popping
and mouth agape at the strange beast
within. The circus proper began, and
She crowds left for the main show,
but still the old man stood before the
cage in stunned silence, appraising
every detail of the misshape*) legs,
the cloven hoofs ,the pendulous upper
lip, and the curiously moulded back
of the sleepy-eyed beast. Fifteen minutes passed. Then the farmer turned
away, and spat disgustedly.

Dress and Religion
It takes a heroic woman to go to

to the request of the vicar that he
should sing at the village concert.
His song, which was delivered with
deep feeling, for which he was famous, was the old favorite, "The Village Blacksmith."
In response to a vociferous encore
he was about to give one of his operatic successes when the chairman
tugged .hard at his coat tail.

WHY BRITISH OFFIOERS CANNOT
LIVE ON THEIR PAY.
Increased Efficiency of All Ranks-
Arms a Serious Profession ��� No
Longer an Alternative to Idleness���
Military Life Involves Heavy Expense���Pay Whollv Inadequate to
the Position.
The manoeuvres of the First British
Army CorpB mark not only the term
of Sir John French's command at Alder-shot, but also the close of the drill
season, which hnB been remarkable
for thf freshness which has characterized the schemes Bet by senior offi:
cers and by the keenness which all
grades have apparently displayed in
carrying out the heavy tasks frequently allotted to them.
* It does not need a very close observer to be convinced that a sense of
reality, born of interest in their profession, is permeating all- ranks of the
army, but it may perhaps require
something more than a Hiip.rflcial
study to detect in how great a degree
this condition of things is due to the
enormously increased efficiency of the
British officer.
It is beyond all doubt that the ofli-
eor of to-day, whatever his rogiment
or rank, cannot ba charged with eating the bread of idleness, and that
he haa responded to the call made
upon his industry and intelligence
with an alacrity and zeal alike admirable. The profession of arms nowadays is not only a serious profession,
but is one which precludes almost
absolutely outside interests being pursued contemporary with it ,
Former Years.
In former years, wnen a young mnn
regarded tlie army merely as an agreeable and decorative alternative to
complete idleness, it was quite logical
that he Bhould put the State to no
expense for his maintenance, and
quite excusable that he should make
frequent tugs at the parental purse
strings for those expenses which his
allowance was obviously unable to
defray. But nowndays, when the regimental officer, from the colonel to the
probationer, has to devote all hiB time
and energy to his work, when, for
some years of service, nt any rate he
ia no longer able to take any part in
the management of his paternal estate or in the conduct of political, or
even private, affairs, it does seem a
little hard that he should be charged
for his services to his country.
It is, of course, admitted that an
officer can live in comfort on the pay
and allowances - hieh service in India prescribe, and that there exist
certain well-remunerated appointments, such as thot of military attache, which' enable their fortunate
holders to husband th"ir privete resources very satisfactorily though the
cost of living in seyral Ruroneen
caoitals is very eonsVWnbly higher
than in London. It is. however, quite
impossible for a subaltern in nn infantry regiment of the line to live in
comfort without a private income of
��200 n year, while for a cavalry officer the minimum figure would probably be three times that amount.
Curtailing Expenses.
Ah immense deal hns been lately

expenses, but when due discount hns

cost of life in a oi-vttry corns is n serious matter, pstvcisllv when it is remembered that the officers nre for the
most part drawn from that social section which ie st"*Tr"**rlr,r. undT the

But prnbnbly the ense nf nn officer
in the Gnirds is one which prescr-ic
the rtt,rno<H i.^c'**n'nrv rlifficilltv, l*7*!***-.*
substantial reinforcements nre forthcoming in the fo-m of fixed allowance
and occasional cheques, Tt most be
remembered that in the Font G"n.rds
the system of mesalnff for the b*>tta-
lions scarcely exists. It has been lately nrrnnred that the gubultem officers
residing in burrae'---** enn be provided
with breakfast, while n generous and
time-honored allowance is mode for
the King's Bunrd nt St. J��men' Palace ; but, with these inconsiderable exceptions, the ynung Guardsman has
to provide for himself at a club or
restaurant.
The Guards' Club replaces very
agreeably all the comforts and conveniences of a mesa, but the prices
which a first-rate and very select club
is compelled to charge differ sharply
from those which are possible under
conditions in barrackB. The young
offloer whose home is in London, or
who can spend his leave under his
father's roof, if, of course, able to
make important economies, and with
care Bhould be content on an allowance of ��300 a year; but if he has.to
look onlv to his own resources for
"board and lodging" throughout the
year, nothing less than ��500 a year
Would be at all adequate to his requirements.
Even the large increase of purely
military work involves a oertain increase of expense. Life in camp, staff
rides, the extra coaching for the frequent and exacting examinations, the
study of Continental battlefields, the
countieas other items can be added to
the matters of necessity for an officer in the Guards who wishes to advance, and which fifty years ago were
wholly unknown
Of course, the most expensive corps
nre to be found, in the three regiments
of Household Cavalry���which by-the-
by, an expert recently pronounced to
be the hardest working units in the
army, as they have to keep themselves up to the highest standing of
military efficiency with a vast amount
of purely ceremonial duty to boot. No
parent or t'u.irdian would dream of
placing a youth in one of these regiments unless he could sustain the initial expense of ��1,000, roughly divided equally between chnrgers and outfit, with a minimum allowance of ��1,-
000 a year.
Hmay, indeed, be said of the Household troops generally that, excepting
in a few isolated cases, their expen-
liture iB really but little in excess of
what is absolutely necessary, and that
.n their services the state continues
o make a very pretty if rather one*
uded bargain. '
Chemicals For Fire.
It was not until 1805 that attempts
were made to use chemical agency tot
the production* of Ure. In that yeai
M. Chanul, assistant to Professor The-
nard of Paris, discovered that a mixture of chlorate of potash nnd sugai
would Ignite If dipped into sulphuric
acid.

LIVING IN VANCOUVER.
Dost Has Increased Considerably In
Late Years.
The cost of living has within the
last few years noticeably increased
throughout the civilized world, but
more noticeably than anywhere else in
Western Canada. To quote a few fig-
ares, house rents in Victoria and Van-
souver, have advanced on the average
at. least one-third, if not one-half. In-
itances could be cited when; tliey have
been doubled. Where working men
do not own their own homea, it is no
uncommon thing for them to pay $30
to $40 a month in Vancouver, and $25
to $30 in Victoria, writes the editor
of Westward Ho! Two years ago furnished houses of five or six rooms were
plentiful at $30 per month, to-day
they are scarce at $50. Similarly the
cost of food.of every kind has increased to an alarming extent. Fruit is
at least twice as dear; meat, milk ahd
Bven bread have advanced from 20
per cent, to 30 per cent., whilst bacon
and cheese are 50 per cent, dearer,
these are the staples which every man
oiust buy. Clothing is dearer, although
not to the same extent a�� food and
rent, probably 20 per osnt, to 25 per
cent, would cover this, but it is doubtful if the quality is not deteriorating.
Extras are constantly rising in value.
At 60 cents for a shave and haircut,
a barber becomes a luxury, and when
oue reflects that in any Knglish city
this service costs the working man
but six cents, there is no wonder that
the newcomer gasps when he receives
his check. The consequence is that
although high wage., are paid tlie cost
of living is proportionately high, and
in order to save dilieieiit methods
have to be employed to those which
are in vogue in the Old Country. One
result is the common practice of letting rooms, or giving meals, which ia
very general iu the West, another is
the system hy which even married
women will take a busineaa position
as well as endeavor to discharge their
household duties. Western Canada ia
seeking immigrants; in British Columbia at any rate the population shows
hut a slight increase. There is an
alarming scarcity of labor, and the
attractions of the province have not
hitherto proved sufficient for people of
our own race. Warnings proverbially
fall on deaf ears, but it cannot be
too widely known that in the West,
or at any rate in the cities oi the
West, artificial means are employed
to maintain the costs of livng %t a
high level. In tnis way merchants
and workmen play into each other's
hands. In order to justify high wages
it is necessary to demonstrate that the
cost of living is high, so there are
combines'which keep up the price of
fruit, of vegetables, and of meat, to
say nothing of milk and bread. But-
ter, which is retailed at 45 cents and
e /en 50 cents a pound, yields the
fanner but 25 cents, within a few
miles of the place where it is sold.
No one wants to sec the West become
a low wage country; on the other
hand, no one zealous tor its welfare
and prosperity will desire to see its
progress hampered by an excessive
cost of living. In any event it is only
fair that those who are so urgent in
their demands for white labor should
represent conditions as they actually
exist. It hurts the province far more
ti have a few men come here under
the impression that wages are double
whnt, they are in Kngland and the
cost of living very little more, than
to tell the plain truth. In the former
case the disappointed immigrant becomes nn aggressive anti-immigration
agent; in the Litter he knows beforehand what conditions to expect and
if he comes is more likely to remain.
Some Fine Old English Examples.
Why does not Vancouver follow the
example of self-sacrifice set by the
great, English cities nnd permit itself
to he swrmped by a flood of yellow,
brown aud black men? See how patient England wns, when Romans,
then Danes, then Normans flocked into the land!' Students of history will
recall how these visitors were welcomed.
Did Boadicea meet the Romans in
an unfriendly spirit?
Absurd I She was too much of a
lady! , i ,
Did Alfred the Great seem cold and
distant when a flood of foreign visitors
called upon him, accompanied by their
household goods?
No���he let the cakes of his hostess
burn, so deeply was he en-gage 1 in
planning a suitable form of reception
for them!
Did Hnrold, the last of the Saxon
kings, organize a moh, smash the front
windows in the Normans' helmets and
throw the visitors into the drink, when
they landed on the English coast?
Rather not! He gave them one ol
the greatest blowouts in history, at
Hastings���a roynl welcome that will
live in song and story forever.
And the Spaniards ��� whnt a time
Elizabeth did give them, when they
called one day, while on a yachting
cruise! Why, her pleasure-boats followed their guests nearly all the way
round the British Isles, on their way
home���that they might show how
hearty was their good feeling!
In spite of these examples of British hospitality, a city that professes
to be guided by British tradition resents the visits of Chinese, of Japanese (the allies of Great Britain) and
of Hindus, the subjects of King Edward���and threatens to ship 900 live
specimens of the latter variety to Ottawa, to be exhibited as proof of their
desirability I
Truly, Vancouver has fallen to a
sorry state that may well provoke the
tears and lectures of The London
Times I���Winnipeg Tribune.
Fate of a Prince Albert.
When Commander Peary went on
hiB first trip in search ol the pole, he
won the gratitude of an Eskimo by
presenting him with an ancient
Prince Albert coat and an extensively creased sombrero. Years afterward, when again in the north, the
explorer received a ceremonial visit
from a native and, to his surprise, set
eyes once more on the discarded vestments. On the occasion of the commander's next dash for the pole the
aborigines took him aside and pointed
to a rude mausoleum. By its- side
Btood the disused Bledge. Its Bix
dogs had been strangled to make an
appropriate funeral. On the pile of
stones lay what was left of the Prinoe
Albert coat and the sombrero.

Ways of the Telephone Trust, or
Many Problems Involved
Government ownership and operation of telephones involves many
problems ot importance. The Bell
Telephone Company, both of the
United States and Canada, enjoyed
a monopoly of the business during
tlie life of tlie Bell patents. The
management of the monopoly grew
rich and arrogant, conducted the
business in an obnoxious and inconsiderate manner and, in general, incurred the dislike of tlie people.
As a result, thousnnds of Independent telephone companies sprang into existence in the United States and
it is said that their combined service
exceeds that of the Bell Telephone
Company.
ln Canada the Independent movement has been much slower, but it
has at last broke forth and many Independent operating companies are
being organized. In tlie Western
Provinces, * where whole municipalities are being peopled in a year,*.the
slow-going, arrogant methods of tho
Bell Company and its refusal to give
telephone service to rural communities lias led to the building of Government telephone systems. -
Even ior a time ufter the patents
of the Bell Company had expired,
both in Canada and the States, the
Bell Company refused to sell telephones to the Independent Companies. As a result of this attitude of
tlie Bell Company and the great Independent or opposition growth,
many telephone manufacturing companies have mown up and prospered
in the United States and the Bell
Company haB been torced to change
its policy, both in the operating and
manufacturing field. For years the
Bell Company refused to give any
farmer line or rural telephone service
unless the entire coat of construction
and installation was advanced by the
subscribers and a heavy yearly rental
guarantee. Now, wherever competition exists, the one-time arrogant and
unmanageable Bell Company is either
installing rural lines or offering connections for rural lines at low cost
to the farmers and municipalities who
will install their own local lines.
In the manufacturing field the policy is also changed. Not only is the
Bell Telephone Company willing and
anxious to sell telephones and telephone supplies to farmers and others,
but even goes to the extreme and
manufactures under different names
and denies its identity in order to
fool tlie Independents and thus get
their money and gain possession of
their, pinna of development. The
Kellogg Switchboard & Supply Co.,
of Chicago, Illinois', is a notable illustration of this policy in the Slates.
Even in Canada a notable change
hns most suddenly come over t.ie
once arrnfant and stiff-necked Bell
management, and the Northern Electric Company of "Montreal has opened an office in Winnipeg and hns an
agent hustling for Western business.
Both the Kellogg Company and the
Northern Electric Company are out
and out Bell Companies, owned and
controlled by the Bell Company, but
working under separate names and
separate management in order to fool
the public.
Any Independent telephone company, or Province, or Municipality,
who dealB with either of the above
named Bell Companies not only encourages and aids the Bell Telephone
monopoly financially, hut furnishes
to their enemy and competitor, the
Bell Telephone Company, advance
knowledge of the amount of business
that said Company or Government
intends to do.
