Single Copies 5c. When the curtain rolled up at the OBiin Hull on Xmas Eve, a great wave applause was spontaneously drawn from the largo audience assembled to witness tho performance of " The Four Leaved Clover " by tbe children of New Denver, The stage was a blaze of color and tho mingling of the gorgeous costumes sfforded a preliminary spectacle that lbs audience were unprepared for, and the applause which followed only subsided when Mr. T. T. Rankine raised his baton for the opening chorus, and then there burst forth eighty childish voices in such exquisite melody that the listener- sat spell-bound. It must be recorded that the effort of Mr. and Mrs. Rankine to arrange the music, adapt the dialogue, create tbe costumes, drill the company, and, in fact, bear the burden of tbo whole production, was a prodigious one, but they arose to the great voluntary Etrain, and how tbey scored a brilliant success will never be forgotten by all privileged to be present. The operetta hss a swing and go wilh it that it ia indeed surprising that the younger perlormers could so unerringly take up their queues, and even if there were any errors in this respect they ware nnperceived by tbe audience. The scene of the pretty plot ia laid in Spain, and the various episodes and eubsi-qutnt happy ending are woven around tlie disappearance of the first born daughter of Isabella, Countess of Agullar, who when the Btorv opens has blossomed iuto sweet maidenhood and is queen of a band of gypsies. The countess is blessed with another daughter, tho Lady Inez, who at this time is also grown up and bc.tutiful enough to attract many noble aspirants to her fair hand, and Don Carlos *a Spanish guest and Sir Ronald Graeme, a Scot- is!) knight, arc the more favored���the lady eventually choosing the former amid great rejoicing. But scarse bas the betrothal been announced, when the castle is again plunged into grief by . tbe mysterious disappearance of Lady Inez and her maid. By this time there arrived at tbe castle gates a German deaf and dumb boy and his sister Gretchen, seeking charity. These are bearers of a potent charm, the four- leaved clover, and these they dispense to all in trouble. By the aid of the charm a deadly feud begun by the rival lovers is vanished, and together they go forth in search of the lost lady. Suspicion falls upon a roving band of gypsies, who have been prowling around the neighborhood, and proclamations are read calling upon the peasants lo arm themselves. Tlie army is mobilized and all made ready for a midnight raid upon the gypsies' encampment. The audience is then taken to the gypsies' camp, where they are entcr- ** tained with some pretty songs and dances, after which follows the raid and the reecuo of tho ladies. Still the heart of the Countess yearns for her first-born, thc Lndy Hinda, and faring the preparation? for the postponed wedding festivities she. is approached in the castle garden by Fedalmn, an old gypsy hag, who relenting: imparts to her the joyous message that the long lust Lady Hinda is alive snd is thc queen of the gypsy tribe who recently also kidnapped her other daughter. The reunion follows amid great rejoicing, and tho happy ending i. consummated with a dual wedding. Special words of praise aro duo to -��� ��� 'AgneB Ostby, wboBe portrayal of Gretchen was cleverly enacted. She has a voice of great range and promiso which if properly tended will ono day be worth a fortune. Her solos wore a delight to the audience. As Hinda, queen of the gypsies, Marie Murray yon the hearts ef all. Her dances and songs wore delightful. Ethel Burgess as the Lady Inez was very good. Her acting was free and well to the character. Rusanna was well played by Miss Jessie Cropp, nnd the Countess Isabella of Atblyn Vallance was pleasing. Ter haps the most difficult part to be pby was that of Fedalma, tbe gipsy hag, which was really cleverly undertaken by Winifred McDougall..-Mildred Mohr received great applause for her gracefa't dancing. Of the male performers, the character of Don Sebastian, as p'-syed bv Earl Nelson, was exceptionally good, as also were Dick Blumenaue and Frank Lindsay as Don Carlos and Sir Ronald Graham. Quite the funniest thing we have ever seen performed by juveniles was the Captain Murillo of Hubert Mclnness and the Burgomaster of Arlie Williams. The drilling of the regiment by the former evoked roars of laughter, and the alliterative pompous address of the latter was extremely funny. Sergeant Alfonso was well played by Charlie Nelson, not " the " Charlie, but his nephew. Great praise is due Percy Ransom and Denver Shannon for the capable manner in which Ihey handled tbe'parts of Donald and Pedro, and to all the soldiers, peasants, gipsies, aud Japanese troupe. Little Ivan Brouse as Gluck-Auf, the German sprite, was a great success, he playing a most important part with credit. Mazetto and Macaroni, two desperate robbers, were portrayed very well by Ernie and Willie Atherton, both their solos apparently greatly pleased Ihe audience. When the curtain was rung down on the last act, a scene of wild enthusiasm prevailed witb tho audience. Calls for " Rankine " and " btavos " were heard from all parts of the bouse. It was a gigantic, giorioUB success. Again and again the curtain was raised, but still the tumultous applause was unabating, and at last Mr. Rankine, his face glowing with justifiable pride, advanced to the front, baton in band, and rapped for Willie Atherton to sing the last verse of " Good bye, Hinda dear " once again, whi.h was doue in a manner that warmed the cocklai of Jay-Jay's heart towards bis " devil," and amid continued enthusiasm the curtain was finally rung down. A special word of praise is to be forthcoming for tlie costumes. They were rich, magnificent, Buperb. Their manufacture casts tbe highest reflection upon the ladies who worked under the supervision of Mrs. Rankiue. The scenes were also excellent, the gypsy encampment being exceptionally so. To Mr. anl Mrs. T. T. Rankine iB due the most lavish congratulations that the par-jnls snd citizens generally can bestow upon them. For the past two months they bave worked assiduously early and late to achieve the ultimate triumph, and at the finish almost to tho verge of collapse; indeed, at the conclusion Mri. Rankine hart a short fainting spell when the curtain Dually dropped. This talented lady is a Royal Academician, so those not privileged tj witness the operetta will better understand that a genuine musical fesBt wss given. We would like tp see this gorgeous production staged again in the near future, and in this we but echo the wish of the community. It would give great pleasure to many if the performance could be given in Nelson or Revelstoke. A happy New Year, kids! A happy New Year, Mr. nnd Mrs. Rankine I New Denver is proud of you.

Gifford is taking the course that will eveutually bring about the desired results; but we also feel assured that he is doing what he deems to be right, and his duty, and that if he has made any assertions that cannot be corroborated, it is because he has been wrongly informed and by someone whose statements he supposed could be relied upon.

The minstrel show given here by the Nakusp Dramatic Club was one of the greatest treats tbe people of Nakusp have ever enjoyed. Not a dull moment from the rise of tbe curtain until the finish. The songs, jokes and farces all went with a vim and the costumes wero beautiful. In tbe circle the boys were all dressed in white shirts, white duck trousers with red Bashes and red ties, Mr. Baird the interlocutor being in evening dress. Tlie circle was composed of Messrs. Clark, Oroisby, Dougall, Swires, Harris and Routley. The end men, Messrs. Bulger, Abbie, Jordan and Melrose wero costumed in red and white check suits. The success of the performance was due principally to Mr. Melrose who was the life of tlie show. He had his men trained to perfection, and when the crowd ge to New Denver on New Year's eve, all those who attend will certainly got two hours of solid enjoyment.

Yes; and both deserve to be hung. Do you remember that Madeline -Clyde whom you insulted with your logic and Latin verbs? She'd set her heart on that certificate. She wanted the money, not for new gowns and fooleries, mind, but to help her old grandfather pay his debts. His place is mortgaged. I don't understand it; but he asked some old hunks to lend him the money, and the miserly rascal, whoever be was, refused. I wish I had it. I'd give it to him out and out. But that's nothing to do with the girl���Maddy, they call her. The disappointment killed her, and Bhe is dying���is raving crazy���and keeps talking of that confounded examination. I tell you, Guy, my inward parts got terribly mixed up when I hear her talk, and my heart thumps like a triphammer. That's the reason I have not been up to Aikenside. I wouldn't leave Maddy so long as there was hope. I did not tell them thiB morning. I couldn't make that poor couple feel worse than they are feeling; but when I looked at her tossing from side to side and picking at the bedclothes, I knew it would soon be over ���that when I snw her again the poor little arms would be still enough and the bright eyes shut forever. Guy, I couldn't see het die���I don't like to see anybody die, but her, Maddy, of all others���and so I came away. If you stay long enough, you'll hear the bell toll, I reckon. There is none at Honedale Church, which they attend. They are Episcopalians, you see. and so they'll come up here may be. I hope I shall be deafer than an adder." Here the doctor stopped, wholly out of breath, while Guy for a moment sat without speaking a single word. Jessie, in his hearing, had told her mother what the sick girl if the doctor's office had said about b.ftg poor and wanting the money for grandpa, while Mrs, Noah had given him a rather exaggerated account of Mr. Markham's visit; but he had not associated the two together until now, when lie saw the whole, and almost as much as the doctor himself regretted the part he had had in Maddy's illness and her grandfather's distress. "Doe," he said, laying his hand on the doctor's arm, "1 am that old hunks, the miserly rascal who refused the money. I met the old man going home that day, und he asked me for help. You say the place must be sold. It never shall, never. I'll see to that, and you must save the girl." "I can't, Guy. I've done all I can, and now, if she lives, it will be wholly owing to the prayers that old saint of a grandfather says for her. I never thought much of these things until' I heard him pray; not that she should live anyway, but that, if it were right, Maddy might not die. Guy, there'B something in such a prayer as that. It's more powerful than all my medicine swallowed at one grand gulp." Guy didn't know very much about praying then, and so he did not respond, but he thought of Lucy Atherstone, whose life was one hymn of prayer and praise and he wished she could know of Maddy, and join her petitions with those of the grandfather. Starting suddenly from his chair, he exclaimed, "I am going down there. It will look queerly, too, to go alone. Ah, I have it I I'll drive back to Aikenside for Jessie, who has talked so much of the girl that her lady mother, forgetting that she was once a teacher, is disgusted. Yes, I'll take Jessie with me, but you must order it; you must say it is good for her to ride, and, Hal, give me some medicine for her, just to quiet AgneB, no matter what, provided it's not strychnine." Contrary to Guy's expectations, Agnes did not refuse to let Jessie go for a ride, particularly as she had no suspicion where he intended taking her, and the little girl was soon seated by her brother's side, chatting merrily of the different things they passed upon the road But when Guy told her where they were going, and why they were going there, the tears came at once into her eyes, and hiding her face in Guy's lap, she sobbed bitterly. "I did like her so much that day," she said, "and she looked so sorry, too. It's terrible to die!" Then-she plied Guy with questions concerning Maddy's probable future. "Would she'go lo heaven, sure?" and when Guy answered at random, "Yes," she asked, "How did he knowf Had he beard that Maddy was that kind of good which lets folks in heaven? Because, Brother Guy," and the little preacher nestled olosely to the young man, fingering his coat buttons a3 she talked, "because, Brother Guy, folks can be good���that is, not do naughty things- and still God won't love them unless they���I don't know what, I wish I did." Guy drew her nearer to him, but to that childish yearning for knowledge he could not respond, so he said: "Who taught you all this, little one?���not your mother, surely." "No, not mamma, but Miriam, the waiting-maid we left in Boston. She told me about it, and taught me to pray different from mamma. Do you pray, Brother Guy?" The question startled the young man, who was glad his coachman spoke to him just then, asking if he should drive through Devonshire village, or go direct to Honedale by a shorter route. They would go to the village, Guy said, hoping that thus the doctor might be persuaded to accompany them. This diverted Jessie's mind, and she said no more of praying; but the first tiny grain was sown, the mustard seed, which should hereafter spring up into a mighty tree, the indirect result of Maddy's disappointment and almost fatal illness. They found the doctor nt home and willing to go with them. Indeed, so unnerved had he become listening for the first stroke of the boll which was to herald the death he deemed so sure, that he was on the point of mounting his horse and galloping off alone, when Guy's invitation came. It was five miles from Devonshire to Honedale, and n'*jen they reached a hill which lay half-way between, they stopped for s few minutes to rest the tired horse?. Suddenly, as t_; y snj. waU.ing, s snarp, r.-.iguig ram Terr on*mer?*eaTs, and grasping Guy's knee, the doctor said, "I told you so; Madeline Clyde is dead." Jt was the village bell, and its twice three strokes betokened that it tolled for somebody youthful, Bome- body young, like Maddy Clyde. Jessie wept silently, but there were no tears in the eyes of the young men, as with beating hearts they sat listening to the slow, solemn sounds which came echoing up the hill. There was a pause; the sexton's dirgelike task was done, and now it only remained for him to strike the age, and tell how- many years the departed one had numbered. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." Jessie counted it aloud, while Svery stroke fell like a heavy blow upon the hearts of the young men, who a few weeks ago knew not that such as Maddy Clyde had ever had existence. How long it seemed before another stroke, and Guy was beginning to hope they'd heard the last, when again the dull, muffled sound came floating on the air, and Dr. Hol- brook's black, bearded lip half quivered as he now counted aloud, "One, two, three, four, five." That was all; there it stopped; and vain were all their listenings to catch another note. Fifteen years, and only fifteen had passed over the form now forever still. "She was fifteen," Guy whispered, remembering distinctly to have heard that number from Maddy herself. "I thought they told me fourteen, but of course it's she," the doctor rejoined. "Poor ehild, I would have given much to have saved her." Jessie did not talk ,* only once, when she asked Guy, if it was very far to heaven, and if he supposed Maddy had got there by this time. "We'll go just the same," said Guy. "I will do what I can for the old man;" and so the carriage drove on, down tho hill, across the meadow- land, and past a low-roofed house whose walh inclosed the stiffened form of him for whom the bell had tolled, the boy, fifteen years of age. who had been the patient of anothet than Dr. Holbrook. Maddy was not dead, but the paroxysm of restlessness had passed, and she lay now in a heavy sleep so nearly resembling death that they who watched, waited expectantly to see the going out of her last breath. Never before had a carriage like that from Aikenside stopped at that humble cottage, but the neighbors thought it tame merely to bring the doctor, whom they welcomed with a glad smile, making a way for him to pass to Maddy's bedside. Guy preferred waiting in the carriage until such time as Grandpa Markham could speak with him, but Jessie went with the doctor into the sick room, startling even the f 'andmother, and causing her to wor .er who the richly dressed child could be. "Dying, doctor," said one of the women affirmatively, not interrogatively; but the doctor shook his head, and holding in one hand his watch, he counted thc faint pulse beats as with his eye he measured off the minute. "There are too many here," he said. "She needs the air you are breathing," and in his singular, authoritative way, he cleared the crowded room of the mistaken friends who wore unwittingly breathing up Maddy's very life. All but the grandparents and Jes- ���tie; these he suffered to remain, and itting down by Maddy, watched till the long sleep was ended. Silently and tamestly the aged couple prayed for heir darling, asking that, if possible, ihe might be spared, and God heard their prayers, li ting, at last, the heavy fog from Maddy's brain, and waiting her to life and partial consciousness. It was Jessie who first caught the expression of the opening eyes, and darting forward, Bhe exclaimed. "She's waked up, Dr. Holbrook. She will live." Wonderingly Maddy looked at her, and then as n confused recollection of where they had met before crossed her mind, Bhe smiled and said: "Where am I now? Have I never come home, nnd is this Dr. Hol- brook's office?" "No, no; it's home, your home, and you are getting well," JesBie cried, bending over the bewildered girl. "Dr. Holbrook has cured you, and Guy is here, and I, and " "Hush, you disturb her," the doe- tor said, gently pulling Jessie away, and himself asking Maddy bow she felt. She did not recognize him. She only had a vague idea that he might be seme doctor, but not Dr. Holbrook, sure; not the one who so puzzled and tortured her on n day which seemed now so far behind. From the white- haired man kneeling by the bedside there was a burst of thanksgiving for the life restored, nnd then Grandpa Markham tottered from the room, out into the open air, which had never fallen so refreshingly on his tired frame as it fell now, when he first knew that Maddy would live. He did not care for his homestead; that might go, and he still be happy with Maddy left. But He who had marked that true disciple's every sigh, had another good in store, willing it so that both should come together, even as the two disappointments had come hand in hand. From the soft cushions of his carriage, where he sat reclining, Guy Remington saw the old man as he came out, nnd alighting at once, he accosted him pleasantly, and then walked with him to the garden, where, on a rustic bench, built for Maddy beneath the cherry trees. Grandpa Markham sat down to n-st. From speaking of Madeline it was easy to go back to the day when Guy had first met grandpa, whose application for money he had refused. "I have thought better of it since," he said, "and am sorry I did not accede to your proposal. One object of my coming here to-day was to say that my purse is at your disposal. You can have as much as you wish, paying me whenever you like, and the house will not be sold. Slocum, I understand, holds the mortgage. I will see him to-morrow and stop the whole proceedings." Guy Bpoke rapidly, determined to make a clean b ,ist of ^ _bt'J grand* pa unrrersTOOQ~ mm, _nia*MioW*.:t*r r*.s white head upon his bosom, the big tears dropped like rain upon the turf, while his lips quivered, first with thanks to the Providence who had truly done all things well, and next with thanks to his benefactor. "Blessings on your head, young man, for making me so happy. You are worthy of your father, and he was the best of men." "My father���did you know him?" Guy asked in some surprise, and then the story came out, how, years before,, when a city hotel was on fire, and one of the guests in imminent dangei from the locality of his room, and his own nervous fear which made him powerless to act, another guest braved fearlessly the hissing flame, and scaling the tottering wall, dragged out to life and liberty one who, until that hour, was to him an utter stranger. Pushing back his snowy hair. Grandfather Markham showed upou his temple a long, white sear, obtained tbe night when he periled hi*? own life to save that of another. There was a doubly warm pressure now ol the old man's hand, as Guy replied "I've heard that story from fathet himself, but the name of his preserv er had escaped me. Why didn't yon tell me who you were?'" "I thought 'twould look too much like demanding it as a right���too much like begging, and I s'pose I felt too proud. Pride is my besetting sin��� the one I pray most against." #luy looked keenly now at the man whose besetting sin was pride, and as he marked the cheapness of his at tire, his pantaloons faded and short, his coat worn threadbare and shabby, his shoes both patched at the toes, hiB cotton shirt minus a bosom, and then thought ol \he humble sottage, with its tew rocky acres, he wondered of what lie could be proud. Meantime, for _>iaddy, Dr. Holbrook^ bad prescribed perfect quiet, bidding them darken again the window from which the shade had been removed, and ordering all save the grandmother to leave the room and let the patient sleep, if possible. Even Jessie was not permitted to stay, though Maddy clung to her as to a dear friend. In a few whispered words Jessie had told her name, saying she came from Aikenside, and that her Bi other Guy was there, too, outdoors, in the carriage. "He heard how sick you were ut Devonshire, this morning, and drove right home for me to come to see you. I told him of you that day in the jflice, and that's why he brought me. I guess. You'll like Guy. I know all tlie girls do���he's so good." Sick and weary as she was, and unable as yet to comprehend the entire meaning of all she heard, Maddy was conscious of a thrill of pride in knowing that Guy Remington, from Aikenside. was interested in her, and had brought his sister to see her. Winding her feeble arms around Jessie's neck, she kissed the soft, warm cheek, and said, "You'll come again, I hope." "Yes, every day, if mamma will let me. I don't mind it a bit, if you are poor." "Tut, tut, little tattler!" and Dr. Holbrook, who, unseen by the children had all the while been standing near, took Jessie by the arm. "What makes you think them poor?" In the closely shaded room Maddy could see nothing distinctly, but she heard Jessie's reply: "Because the plastering comes down so low, and -Maddy's pillows are so teenty, not much'bigger than my dolly's. But I love her; don't you, doctor " Through the darkness the doctor caught the sudden flash of Maddy's eyes, and something impelled him to lay his cool, broad hand on her forehead, as he replied, "I love all_ my patients"; then, taking Jessie's arm, he led her out to where Guy was waiting for her.

Dreading a Duty Doniles the Task ol Discharging It A small boy whose one task for the day consists In bringing a pall of spring water to the house 'jegan to pine away, and bis anxious mamma called In the family doctor. The boy submitted listlessly to a thorough examination, the result of wlich puzzled the man of medicine. "Does he eat well?" be asked. "Fairly so," was .the reply. "And sleep?" he queried. "Oh, yes, but he drags through the day without a symptom of interest," was the mother's reply. The tloctor looked long and hard at the child and tbeu bad a bright thought. "Wbat does he do ln the way of work?" he asked. "Nothing but bring a pall of water from the spring every morning." "Cut out that water carrying task for a week," said the dot-tor, "and let me know the result." The week worked a miracle ln WU He's health. The boy had been weighted down by tbe thought of a dully task, und It was not because he was lazy. He did other things wltb tbe greatest willingness, but he so detested that one monotonous task tbat It nflfected his bealth.

Mrs. Chas. F. Haley Restored by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills "I was utterly helpless w'th sciatica. I could not move in bed without aid. Doctors treated me, but I did not improve. I used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and to-day am a well woman." This tribute to the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is made by Mrs. Chas. F. Haley of Yarmouth N. S. Two years ago she suffered most severely from an attack of sciatica, and for a number of months was an invalid confined to her bed. She further states: "It is impossible for me to describe the pain from which I suffered. I endeavored to continue my profession ns a music teacher, but was forced to give it up. The tloctor said the Tfoub'e was sciatica, but his treatment did not help me. I could scarcely take a step without the most acute pain shooting through my back and c\own the limb. Finally I took to my bed and lay there perfectly helpless, and could not move without aid. The pain was never absent. I consulted another doctor, but with no better results, and I began to think I would always be a sufferer. One day a friend who was in to see me asked why I did not take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and on her advice I decided to do so. The result was beyond my most hopeful expectations. All the pains and aches disappeared and I have never since been troubled with sciatica. I have no hesitation in recommendng Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the trouble from which I suffered." When the blood is poor the nerves are starved, then comes the agony ol sciatica, neuralgia, or perhaps partial paralysis. ^ Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new, rich, red blood,^hich feeds the starved nerves, drives out pain and restores health. It is because these pills actually make new blood that they cure such common ailments as rheumatism, anaemia, backaches and headaches, heart palpitation, indigestion and the painful irregularities 6? growing girls and women.

National Emblerrs Under Which the City Has Been Ruled. The first European visitor to Manhattan Island was Henry Hudson, who In 1G09 sailed up tbe river now bearing his name. Tbe flag uuder which he sailed was that of tbe Dutch Bast India company, which was the flag of the United Provinces of tbe Netherlands, orange, white aud blue arranged In three equal horizontal stripes, ln tbe center of the white stripe being the letters "A. O. C."���Algemeene Oost Indlse compagnie (General East India company). From the time of tbe discovery no visitor came Into these waters of which there is record until 1012. when Manhattan was settled under tbe East India compuny, which continued iu possession until 1022, when the government fell Into tbe hands of the West India company. The flag of the Dutch West India company was the same as that of Its predecessor, save t>***t It bore the letters "G. W. C."���Gooetro- yeerde West Indlse compagnie (Privileged West India company). This was the dominant flag till 1604, when tbe island was surrendered to tbo English, and the union Jack (crosses of England and Scotland) of Great Britain supplanted the tricolor of Holland, and tbe mime of New Amsterdam was changed to New York. The union jack at present Is derived from the union of the three cvosses of St George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick, adopted lu 1801, when the act of uulon with Ireland wus passed. In the month of July, 1073, the Dutch again took possession of lite city, which they occupied until Nov. 10, 1074, when by virtue of a treaty of peace between England and Holland the union jack again floated over the city. From tbis time there was no interruption in the supremacy of tbe English until the year 1089, when tbe memorable rule of I-elsler. speedily terminated by bis death, occurred. He was a warm supporter of William and Mary, and It Is possible that while he held possession of the fort the flag of William, not then proclaimed king of England, might bnve floated over New York. But there Is no record of this. Were It so. however, It could have been but for a very brief period, and tbe English flag waved undisputed until the era of the American Revolution. At tbe beginning of the Revolution here, as lu New England, the people, although aggrieved, were loyal, and upon the same day, June 23, 1775 New York witnessed the double entry of George Washington, just elected bj the provincial congress general In chief of the American forces and on his way to take command at Cam bridge, and Tryon, tbe English gov eruor, who had arrived the day before. It was about this time that the first raising of any but the English flag In New York occurred. Before this. Indeed, liberty poles had beeu raised and cut down again, but now, March. 1775, a Union fing. with a red field, was hoisted In New York upon the j liberty pole* on the common, bearing the Inscription, "George Rex and the liberties of America." and upou the other side "No popery." The British, under Governor Tryon vacated New York in 1775, but there Is no record wbicb gives any positive date as to the rulsiug of tbe American flag here. ��� The city was held by American troops after this event until Sept. 13. 1770, when Washington retreated to Harlem and afterward from the Island, and tbe city was occupied by Sir Henry Clinton and from that time held by tbe British until the close of the war They evacuated the city Nov. 25, 1763. Since then no flag but the stars and stripes has waved over the city in token of pewer and authority.

There are three ways, and three only, by which the system can be rid of poisonous waste matter, the bowels, the kidneys and the skin. Tlie bowels are named first, because on them falls the greater part of this work, and so long as tbey do their duty there is seldom trouble with the kidneys or skin as excretory organs. When the bowels fail, however, and become sluggish und constipated there is work tin own on the kidneys which they have no business to do, and whicli they cannot do for any length of time without becoming deranged. Now there is only one medical treatment whicli recognizes the condition of affairs, and inut is Dr. Chase b Kidney-Liver Pills. This is, so far as we know, tlie only kidney medicine which regulates the bowels, as well as the kidneys, and thereby removes the cause of trouble und cures the most complicated cases. You can scarcely find a case ol kidney disease which did not begin with liver and bowel troubles, and which could not therefore have been prevented by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Thousands of people are ready to testify to tlie superiority ot Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills as a cure for kidney troubles. The reason of their efficiency is found in their notion on the liver and bowels, as well as the kidneys. Mr. R. B. Dixon, McGillivray, B.

After the teacher's breathless flight toward the clouds the little hand stopped tugging.

BEST TIME TO TAKE IT DIRECTIONS TO PREPARE SIMPLE HOME MADE MIXTURE Tells You How to Overcomo Rheumatism With Simple Recipe, Which Is Easily Mixed. A well-known authority on Bheu- matism gives the readers of a large Montreal daily paper tlie following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home. Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being a vegetable extraction, are barm- less to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to over come almost any case of rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighborhood elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and can be Ubught separately, or the druggists here will mix the prescription for our readers if asked to. The Nile of 1907 Writing from Cairo, Consul-General L. M. Iddings states that the letting of Nile water on the lands in previous years took place on Aug. 27, but that it will be a "poor Nile" this year, owing to lighter rains in Abyssinia and the upper Nile country. It is not expected that this will make much difference with Egyptian crops, however, owing to the storage of water at Assouan and by the Esneh, the Delta, and th* Zible barrage. The area of land in upper Egypt, which will get no water (called Sharaki) and will therefore pay no tax will be considerable and slightly cut down the c revenue of the State. There will also J be extra trouble and expense in handling the basin water.���Daily Consular and Trade Reports. Auldsport���Why so gloomy, old chap?

That is the indictment which Beecher Smith, secretary of the emigration department of tne Manchester "tToung Men's Christian Association, made against tlie British colonists on his return alter a tour in Canada. As showing how deeply the department which he administers is affect- id, it may be pointed out that during the last half-year as many as 354 young men went to Canada on his advice. Altogether nearly 1,000 colon- -sts, mostly young men, have been lent out. Of the English colonist generally tie speaks severely. "The greatest lifficuUy," he declared, "is that the young Englishman is too conceited to rver make a good colonist. I went jut with an agent wbo bud placed >ver 2,000 men on the Canadian railways, and he told me plainly that he would take either Scottish or Irish vorkers before Englishmen. "The Englishman invariably went .tut and told the Canadians that the best work was done in England by Englishmen; they generally know so much that the Canadian could tell tbem nething. Tliey let the people 'nderstand that they can do everything better than the Canadians, ami ao Canadian will stand that. "I have soen notices in eastern cities in connection with advertisements ior men that 'no Englishmen nee.1 ipply.' That is not b cause the Eng lishman cannot do the work, for testimony from east and west is that ii he will only 'peg away' and do bis- best, he really makes a better and sturdier worker in the end than the Canadian. But he cannot adapt him self to the new circumstances. I could give hundreds of cases of this sort. "Farmers havt the same story tc tell. The railway agent, before referred to, would not accept any more Englishmen, and opened offices in Hasgow. because oi this unbearable ���oneeit." Referring to another class of emi- rrant, Mr. Smith instanced the case of two young men who were of n number he accompanied out. These spent two days in Montreal, and while one of them enquired after 25 or 30 places and got the choice of four, the other sat in the Y. M. C. A. rooms for the whole two days, waiting for Mr. Smith to get him a situation. "I do not find any but Englishmen who will do that," commented Mr. Smith. Another case of the same sort was that of a young assistant to the wholesale grocery trade, who, after spending two weeks in Montreal, went to one of the railway offices to take his ticket home, because Montreal was no good. On being questioned, he admitted that he simply waited for work to come to him. "It is generally that class of man who comes back to England and blackguards Canada," was Mr. Smith's verdict. He had never seen so many ��� men returning from Canada as on this occasion, and he found on enquiry that it was not the fault of the country, but of the men themselves. Judging from Mr. Smith's experiences, if the Englishwoman was not so essentially a "stay-at-home" the thousands of girls for whom England cannot find husbands would soon be happily mated in Canada. CANINE OPIUM SMUGGLERS. Dogs Sent Over Canadian Border With Laden Pack Saddles. Customs officers have recently unearthed one of the most clever methods of smuggling opium and silks into the United States from across the international boundary line yet discovered, says The Chicago Inter-Ocean. The smugglers, who were headed by Thomas Smith, now in custody, used trained dogs to carry on their business. The first inkling that came to the officers that the dogs were being used to carry contraband goods from Canada was when Officer Lane of the Bell- ingham station shot a dog which he saw running through thick timber near Blaine, Wash. The dog was loaded down with an enormous leather saddle in which ware found three pounds of opium and a package of rich silk. Three days later customs officers trailed three other paok saddle dogs to Smith's shack near the town of Blaine. Smith was found at the shack and was arrested.

' Aylmer, a town of between 2,00*0 and 3(000 inhabitants, some ten miles cr so above Ottawa and Hull, on the Ottawa river, is about to adopt a system of sewerage emptying into the river, to the danger of the lives of more than 90,000 people. Besides Aylmer there are already on the banks of the Ottawa on either side Britannia a rapidly-growing summering suburb, and several large villages. The capital and the transpontine city of Hull are combining to induce Aylmer to treat its sewage in purifying tanks before it is sent into the river, and this probably will be agreed to. There arc long stretches of rapids between Ayl- men and Ottawa and it always has been contended that no sewage from up the river can reach the intake pipe for the water supply of the capital. In the meantime, the inquiry into the Aylnfer sewerage scheme has developed tlie fact that just about the Ottawa intake rafting grounds exist, where about a hundred raftsmen usually are accommodated during the rafting season, and the question arises, where the sewage from this quarter goes to if not into the drinking water of the people of Ottawa. Below Ottawa there is a large population on both sides of the river all the waj dowa to Grbnville rapids, those nearest to the capital getting their full share of the city sewage, as well a** any residue that escapes the intake pipe from the rafting grounds and Aylmer and comes over the Chaudiere falls. "Canada Leads the World" It is generally understood that the telephone is a Canadian invention, but it will be no less of a pleasure than a surprise to many of our readers to learn that Canada leads the world in telephone invention. The invention of the telephone is almost universally credited to Prof. Alexander Graham Bell at the time when he was living at Brantford, Ontario, and that city ia now raising funds with which to erect a monument to his memory. By a strange coincidence the Lorimer Automatic Telephone, commonly called Canadian Machine Telephone, was also invented in Brantford, by the Lorimer Brothers, who, like Bell, are Canadians by birth. The Bell Telephone Company, which lor years has enjoyed a practical monopoly of the telephone business in Canada, and as a result has grown rich and indifferently arrogant toward the people, has long maintained an old style telephone exchange in Brantford. Last year the city granted a franchise to an Independent Company to instal the Lorimer Automatic Telephone System. The Bell Company immediately changed its stiff-necked policy and proceeded to build a modern central office building and put its wires underground and installed a new and improved multiple switchboard. The Independent Telephone Company has purchased a fine lot and is erecting a modern telephone building. Brantford now styles itself "The Telephone City" and Canada is likewise entitled to the credit of "Leading the World in Telephone Invention." A strong company, known as Canadian Independent Telephone Co., Ltd., with; head offices at Toronto, has been organized and will manufacture a fullTtne of telephone apparatus in Canada, both automatic and manual, and it is confidently expected that our country will soon produce all ot its own telephones, thus enabling us to keep in Canada the hundreds of thousands of dollars which otherwise would go to outside manufacturers. In these times of tight money this will be welcome news. Traveled Hands In the course of our lives, says thc stat'stican, although we write many letters, we have not the remotest idea of the distance our hand covers while travelling over the paper. According to him the average man or woman writes about th:rty words a minute which, with the up and down strokes and curves, represent something like five yards, or 300 yards an hour. A person therefore using his pen for, say, two hours a day, can boast that his right hand has journeyed a distance of 120 miles. And this, it should be remembered, refers only to those who write, comparatively speaking, little . When we come to the professional element, journalists, clerks, etc., who work six, or seven hours a day, the figures become startling.���Gentlewoman. Motor Boats in Java Replying to a New York enquiry regarding the use of motor boats in Java. CounBul B. S. Rairden, of Ba- tavia, states that very few of these boatB are used at the present time not more than ten throughout the island. The Government purchased two for use in the harbor at Tand- jong-Priok not long ago, but for some reason they have not oeen found serviceable, continually breaking down. These boats were purchased from the United States through an agent in Holland. In the near future, the Consul says, thore will be a demand for such boats. Signs of a Hard Winter When the steamer Cassiar arrived recently she brought down from the north a number of Toba Inlet Indians who are distinguished above all other Indians for their wisdom in weather lore. One of the red men, in conversation with another passenger said the Indians up coast expected a very severe winter, and had already begun to make preparations to secure themselves against cold. Forest animals, particularly the common wolf, they say, are growing longer hair than usual. This fact may reasonably enough be construbd as pointing to a severe winter, but in the estimation of the Indians the testimony of wild animals is us nothing compared with the signs antl warnings vouchsafed _ by the moon.���Vancouver World.

Trying to Be Happy In a Hurry The strenuous life in America is not confined to a business or money-making career; it appears in our pleasures. Americans do not seem to be able to enjoy themselves, even, without hurrying up. At our pleasure resorts we see men hurrying and hustling, as though they were late for a train or right in the rush of business. We become so fitted, so accustomed to the American pace that we cannot slow down even when we quit work. We do not seem to know how to do anything in a leisurely way. The same high pressure that we put into our business and professions is evident in our play. W* get bo used to "stepping lively," hurrying for an appointment or for trains, rushing our business, that we cannot go slow and take things easy when we have leisure. Not long ago I was trying to convince a London merchant of the superiority of the American way of doing things, and was telling him how much more progressive, enterprising and pushing wo are. He simply smiled and said: "What of it! We Englsh- men do not envy you. We believe in living, in enjoying as we go along. The lunch-counter is not popular in London. We believe in taking our time. What if Americana do make more money? They drop down with some disease, are stricken with apoplexy, or die of paresis in the prime of life. We do not call that success. That is foolishness. They lack that contentment, that poise, which marks Europeans." The American youth hurries to the man, hurries his education, hurries his meals, hurries his work, hurries everything relating to his career, hurries his life, and he cannot understand why he cannot hurry his happiness. He arranges his pleasures by a set programme, just as he does his business, and he runs his vacation on a business plan. Social life, exercise and recreation are all on a strenuous plan, with little opportunity for rest or reflection.���O. B.
