"These operations iagainst th" Emir nf Soltoto) have SIR FREDERICK LUGARD been decided upon by Sir Frederick Lugard," Mr, Austen Chamberlain informed Parliament nine years ago, and Parliament, though it grumbled, yet acqulesed, simply because, although It was dangerous precedent, here was a man whose Tightness and justice were matched only by his gallantry and clear-sightedness. He had tils way and bis war, the result was that slavery, tbe scourge and shame of thn land, was smashed, after four-hundred years. Sir Frederick is a son of an Indian military chaplain, an old Rossallon, He entered the army at twenty and within a year took part In the Afghan war. He served in the Soudan (1885) and Burma campaigns, and, fighting with splendid valor, was several times mentioned in despatches before gaining his D.S.O. A breakdown In health sent him, as It sent Rhodes and Dr. Jameson, to Africa. It is n curious fact that Africa's sick men have been later-day giants of the Dark Continent. Slavery no longer exists in Nigeria. It has gone, gone wllh the cannibal- Ism that Sir Frederick suppressed, and now he governs all, and will govern nobly. u..a.nl\i,��u oiiCXb ON ncAIJo OF rimuv . t. | Buddhist 5moni.il ciiorcet Wisdom ..j I-C......I ChtafcuawinOlu��� ! h w.iu..y��. v^creniwiiy Id i cik.o, juiia.i, a i,ua.u. religious . ii,t, i'i....iu,m na,.' u, UUuiu'bO ^ ue.n* 1 i..c ���.L.. a .......

Up went the right arm of the Lord Abbot, down came tbe thick stick on the shoulders of the candidate. My son, th'ir coler would be redder than the tints of the flowers in May. Up went the arm, down again came the stick, and the candidate retired, gratefully thanking his holiness for the wisdom of bis reply. The second candidate then advanced and bowed before Lord Abbot: What, lie said, In t> piping voice, should we do to escape the heat in summer and the cold in winter? Down came the stl-ik with a smart crack. Go where there is neither beat nor cold, neither summer nor winter. Candidate number three offered only an assertion: The moon Is In the blue sky.

Hi* body was all covered with running sores. The trouble started with pimples aud opened up into sores. Of course scratching made it worse. The eruptions appeared on his face and disfigured him awfully, v Tho boy could not sleep at night from the itching and pain, and I did not know what to do with him. It mado him cross and fretful. If I bave tried one, I have tried fifty remedies without result. At last I got samples of Cuticura Soup and Ointment, and aftor using them two days I noticed a chango. 1 then bought a full-sized cako of Cuticura Soap and ono box of Cuticura Ointment and I used to give tho boy a hot bath daily using Cuticura Soap freely, and then applied the Cuticura Ointment.

'iSsC^V' Court Asked to Decide Whether she is Properly Reared or Not��� Tracked by Detectives In Paris, a rather strange question Whether a little girl of St had been well brought up was argued solemnly in the Paris law courts on the evidence of sheriff's officers who had I been set to watch her manners at meals. The little girl, .Mile. Gisele. Is the daughter of a Paris doctor. He and his wife separated eighteen months ago, and the mother, who was given the custody of the child, bas since married again. The father petitions to have the child given into his care on the ground that she is being badly brought up. The officer appointed by the father reported that he sat at the next table at Diepps, The little girl leaned her elbows on the table, laughed ostentatiously spoke loudly and made herself remarked by her language and attitude. When .her fa'her reproached her she only laughed or made faces at him. Hut the officer for the other side found that at a Bois ie Boulogne res- taurant Mile. Qisele's manners were irreproachable, except that she soms times took up ber bread and bit U instead of breaking II with her fl:i tiers, that she helned herself to tho salad with her fingers, and occasionally forgot tn wine her mouth af'er drinking". She handled hor knife and fork prop��rly, sat up we'l al table never raised her voice louder than a little lady ought to do and alwavs answered ber mother with a smile. When ftnepr bowls were brought Mil" Glse'e showed ber stood breeding bv moistening her Tins and the tins of ber flnrpi-s and drying tbem with her table nankin.

IOHN MONTREAL TORONTO HALIFAX &��� JE THE COURTENAY REVIEW, COURTENAY, B. C. V 'V FRENCH GUNS FACTOR IN BALKAN VICTORIES Most Military Men Except Germans Conclude That France hai Beit Artillery in the World The French during the time of thu Russo-Japanese campaign Frenchmen backed the wrong horse, and the humiliation or tht-ir allies was a sore disappointment to them. kJ the Balkan war, however, French sympathies have Irom the start been wiih the.allied slates, and their victories have been hailed with jubilant satisfaction. But apart from the pleasure felt by Frenchmen at the successful efforts of the little powers to overthrow tne Turk, there is a national pride bora of the conviction that the Bulgarians BUd the Servians and the Greeks have vanquished tlie troops of the sultan because they learned the art of war In French military colleges and fought with French cannon. When, further, It is remembered that nt Kirk Klllsse and l.ule Burgas the French guns were matched against German artillery, it will he conceded that the crushing defeat Inflicted on tho Turks at these buttles Is some justification for French complacency, The Balkan war has heeji very largely a question of guns, and the duel between the French artillery or tho lilies nnd tlie German artillery of the Turks has resulted In the triumph of the cannon made al Qr.eusot, The selection of French guns by the nrm'os or the allies was not due to accident or hazard. Those responsible for the war material, which was to decide tho future or the Balkans kno.v that they could tnke no chances, lhat their very existence was at stake, and so, nfler lesting the material of ill the ordlnnnce manufacturers of Europe they came to the conclusion that the Schneider guns were the most suitable for their nitrpose. Thnt Is why General Savoff, who recognized the Bulgarian army, selected the splendid 75-mllllmeter French gun to annihilate the Turk, and the war ministers of Servla and Greece did the same. Most of their material is comparatively modern and bears the date of 1901, 19nr., and 1007. Most military men���Kaiser Wll- helm's officers excepted���openly admit that the French have the best artillery In the world. It is especially suitable for a campaign in the hilly country of the Balkans, because of its lightness, The nature of the terrain, which has been reddened hy the blood ���of Bulgarians and Turks, precludes the use of heavy, cumbersome guns, and that Is why the light, handv Held and mountain guns of the allies have ���proved Invaluable. Foreign attaches who hnve followed the oneratlons In ���the B'lkans during the last few weeks are at one In their admiration of th�� rapldttv, acenracv and murderous effect of the Frenoh-mad�� earns. A Gorman artillery officer, who witnessed the oattle of Lttle Burgas, declared that the dav was won not by the rifle fire of the Bulgarians, but Ijv their cannon, the batteries placing ���hell after shell with astonishing rapidity at nolnts five feet anart.

Yet Ihe ca.-.'nge remain: no sieady that if a glass of water he placed on the wheel during the firing not a dron will be spilled. On the other hand, when the Krnpp gun re- colls, there Is always a certain amount of lateral displacement, and the cannon has to be reslghted every time, The murderous effect of the allies' artillery was demonstrated during tha bombardment of Preschevo, when the Servians had seventy men rendered hors de combat, while the Turkl3h losses exceeded a thousand. The Bulgarians and their comrades-ln-arm3 never fired at random.

(Your guns are astonishing) exclaimed Prince Alexis, coiHn to the king of Servla, when speaking to the war eorrosootulent of a Paris paner after the Turks had been hurled from the fortress of Ferisnvio, He could not have palrt a better trlhute to the wisdom of King Peter, who learned the art nf war as a nupll at. the military collere of St. Cyr and knew what French methods and French artillery were cnnahle of. The best officers In the Servian armv have all passed long periods in the French army and nt the F.cole Superieure de Guerre, and when the Greek army was reorganized two years ago that Important task was confided to a French mission. For a score of years the Turkish army was in the hands of Germany's instructors. -Hie Ottoman generals ere the pupils of the clehrated Von der Goltz, pud their military tuition was received at the Academy of War in Berlin. In the struggl" which 's now drawing to a cloBe the Turks have relied on Gorman strategy and fought with German cannon. The Balkan troops have put Into practice the lessons they learned In French military schools, and their gunners have served French arlillery. The duel betwoen Krttnn and Oreusot has been all to the advantage of the latter. What Is the Inference drawn tv Frenchmen? A very natural one���that If such admirable results have been attained in the latest contest between French-trained officers and French guns, when pitted against generals who studied in German colleges and cannon made In Germany, the French armv has no reason to feir a war with Germany, The kaiser m->v pride himself on pn��esslng the most colossal army in Europe, but. If the enemy has the b"st guns in the world, then superior numbers are only so much chair a canon. Dash, initiative and strategy���no one denies thee qualities to the French, and when the race from which King Ferdinand sprang asserts that French intelligence has been victorious in the Balkans, and that the triumph ot the allies Is a. moral victory for France, Impartialvonlookers are bound to admit that events have largely justified their claims.

Absent-Mlnded Bridal Pair A Geneva couple who recently had arranged for their marriage by the 'civil and religious authorities at Clarusj Switzerland, failed to appear at the appointed time, having as they declared, forgotten all about it. and Drahonnet cut his throat. Archinard's wife heard his shrieks as he fell. She rushed Into the mob of mutineers and flew at the ringleader. A prisoner tried to help her to seize Drahonnet, but the man, who was a giant In stature and in strength, caught Mme. Archinard by the hair, bent her back over his knee and with one stroke severed her head from her body. The assistant chief warder, Bonnet, who had been in another part of the prison, hurried up with other warders and a pitched battle began in the corridors of the prison. Drahonnet had found a long-handled hatchet with which he did terrible damage, and a few minutes after the death of his chief, Bonnet was killed bv a crushing stroke of the ringleader's axe which cleft his Bkull in two. The fight had taken place on the ground floor of the prison. The noise was heard outside, and a lieutenant of Colonial Infantry, Lieutenant Pernln, who happened to be passing, rushed In to give assistance to the warders.

The warders followed, for by this time the prisoners on the upper floors had been released, and outnumbering their jail ors, they expelled them and barricaded themselves in the prison. An Immense crowd of civilians, police, gendarmes and soldiers surrounded the prison. The representative of the government and the commissioner of police took command, and after three hours' seige the outer doors were forced. The ground floor corridors were dark and silent. The mutineers had cut off the electric light supply. An acetylene lamp was brought and the white walls were seen to be dripping with blood. There was not a mutineer In sight, and in the middle of the corridor lay the bodies of the chief warder, his wife and his assistant. Mme. Archinard's head had rolled down the corridor, and was stopped by the open door of an empty cell. With every precaution the soldiers and gendarmes and police, with revolvers in their hands, marched up the stairs to the second floor. The mutineers were waiting for them, and when more doors were forced there was a short but fierce hand to hand struggle. A volley cowed the mutineers. One of them, a sailor named Magnaud, was found dead .n a cell. Behind him the dead body of Drahonnet, the ringleader, hung from a nail In the celling. The victims, dead and wounded, were taken to the civil hospital and all the mutineers were safely locked In cells by midnight. Today everything was calm In the prison.

Nearly everyone is taking advai tage of the snow while it lasts, hence you see cutters, weird and wonderful, passing and repassing continually. A large sleighing party from the Bay went to the home of Mr. Lou Cliff, up the settlement, oue evening last week. They were all delighted with that "welcome feeling' ' which met them as soon as they entered the house. Many of the members of the party had not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Cliff before, and came away thoroughly appreciating the kind reception they had received aud voting Mr. and Mrs. Cliff, a charming host and hostess. Another party, after a delightful sleigh ride, went to the home of Mrs. Walter Reunison, where they were treated royally. Mrs. Tom Knight, of Point Holme, is spending a few days with her parents here. Mrs. Carto sr., has been quite ill for some rime, but is slowdy recovering. Mrs. Paul Downey left on Tuesday's boat for Victoria, where her father, Mr. Audertou, lies seriously ill. Mrs. Auderton is also in poor health. Tom Jolly made a flying trip to Cumberland on Monday. Mr. aud Mrs. John McKenzie and daughter, of Courtenay, are spending a few day's with Mr. McKenzie's aunt, Mrs. J. W. Fraser, of Comox. Mr. McKenzie's health has compelled him to take a vacation.

Forsythe Smith, provincial makets commissioner, has issued his annual report. According to Mr. Smith the past year has uot been too favorable for the fruit industry in this province. The small fruit season was most unsatisfactory, owing to the unfavorable weather conditions and the competition of United States products. Cherries aud plums, also suffered from severe competition, in the matter of peaches, I\ r. smith has come to the conclusion that "our peach season is too late to make peach growiug a very profitable proposition from a commercial standpoint." The "Happy" Ending "Myrtle, can you cook?" "No, Lionel. Can you afford to keep a motor car?" "No dear." So they did not marry, and they lived happily ever afterward. A big sawmill will be built at Sicamous uext spring, In the Poultry Yard It is a mistake to keep late hatched pullets of the large variety for winter layers. These are always late moulters. A hen changes her coat at the same time each year. If convenient separate the fowls into several buuehes. They will lay more eggs than if crowded together in one house. For instance if a hundred hens are kept, divide into four or five flocks aud have a separate house or apartment for each flock. Don't forget to store plenty of cabbage for the hens. They take the place of grass better than anything else with the exception of green rye. In case the cabbage crop is a failure then by all means sow a patch of rye in the fall. Save all the turnips, pumpkins, etc., that can be conveniently stored for winter poultry food. They may be fed either cooked or raw. Cooked vegetables of course, should be mashed and thickened with the ground grain. Always remove the seed from pumpkins. Last year the Kootenay Jam Co of Mission City put up eighty-five carloads of canned goods. Of this amount there were 132,000 gallons of apples. The company also put up thirty-five carloads of jams, jellies and chocolate. \ pi Four Reasons Why You Should Use OUR BEST FLOUR Because it is made from Canadian No. 1 Hard Wheat, (the liest ill tlie World), by the must modern process.

On Thursday the Ladies' Aid, of the Presbyterian Church, left lor a distant destination, under sealed orders. No sooner had they left port, than the elements combined to do their worst. At this juncture, the commander broke the seal and found that the object of their journey was uot attainable, and so by universal consent a call was made at a friendly port, which happened to be Mr. and Mrs. Janes', who were treated to a surprise party. Mr. Knowles, late of Headquarters school, is now second teacher at Cumberland. Messrs. Ostrand and Playart gave an exhibition of their celebrated dog team in Courtenay last week.

"colt & Bgwne, Toronto, Ontario 12-65 Made a Difference Uncle Henry Alltuari had a two-year old colt of which lie was very proud, Many were the disputes he Had with liis neighbors over the weight ot the animal, and he considered that It was jealousy that caused many of them who were regarded as experts to put the weight at a figure a few hundred pounds below the weight on which he had set his heart. One day he sent him to town with the boys to have hlni weighed. A few days later a neighbor came along and said to hlni: Well, Uncle Henry, did the colt weigh as much as you expected? Ho might have been a trifle shy, said the old mnn. but I em explain that. It was all on account of a mls- lalie bv the hovs. I told them to liave him weighed an a scale they weigh coal on to sell, and they hnd him weighed on the scales of a fellow who buys hay.

MAN DRIVEN INSANE BY TOOTHACHE SUICIDES Kills His Infant Boy In Perambulataor, Then Cuts His Own Throat The resull of a violent toothache Is believed lo have been the cause of a terrible tragedy which occurred at Bromloy-by-liow, the victims being a waterside laborer named Ager and his little son, a blind boy nearly 2 years. Ager, who was 33 years of age, is stared to have been an industrious worker and to have lived happily with his wife and two children at 18 Fern street. For some time he had suffered from violent toothache, and yesterday morning he went In to the London Hospital to ask that two teeth might be drawn. He was too late, however, and on being given a card with which to attend this morning he returned home. He declined dinner, saying his teeth were too bad for him, and sat In the kitchen while his wife returned to her work In the sxullery. A few minutes later Mrs. Ager missed htm. She sent her boy upstairs to see If his father had gone to bed, but the lad could not And him. She then went herself, and was horrified to discover her husband lying at the foot of the bed with his throat cut, evidently by a razor which the boy had seen him take from a kitchen drawer. Mrs. Ager rushed to a neighbor, and together they made the further terrible discovery that Ager bad slain his Infant boy as he lay in his perambulator. There is little doubt that Ager's mind had been deranged by the pain through which he had passed.

Not that be felt elated at making an accession to his fortune, for be had no Idea of keeping his find, but that It was evident the money bad been left rattled he usually goes wrong. Wllkins asked the cabman to give him the young lady's address, and when the man said he hadn't it Wllkins told him not to ������a* anything shout blm lu the matter for tbe present aud hauded him a ten dollar bill. Wllkins as Boon ns he hsd taken this step saw that he hnd put himself In the position of having bribed the coachman to conceal his Identity He could not sleep nt nights for thinking of what a frightful thing It would be should be be pounced upon by a de- Inadvertently In the carriage by a wo- I tectlve and forced to coufess that he man aud there would be something for had been keeping a large sum of mon- ey thnt did not belong to hi in It wns evident the loser of the money believed that It hnd fallen Into the hands of some one who was Intending to keep Hand was taking measures to And tbat person. All this wns more than Wllkins hnd bargained for. He grew thin and haggard and began to fear that Ms appearance alone would Incriminate him. What he desired was to know the address of the young Indy thnt he might return the money anonymously, or if he could discover that she wns of a kindly, sympathetic disposition he might go to her. confess that he had her money and beg her to believe his story and not expose him to an unmerciful world. One day the coachman Involved In the matter called for Mm at the club and snld he had something to communicate. Wllkins went out with him to the sidewalk, whi-re no one would hear what was snld. and the cabman began: "I've seen the young leddy again, sir, and she says the day 1 drove her she drew a large sum from the hank, and, betn' sick, when she got out nf my cab left the money Inside. She says the next fare I got must 'a' found It and Is keepln' what don't belong to j him. She's offered me $1,000 reward If I'll get her money for her " Here wns nn additional complication if Wllkins returned the money. Ignoring the cabmnn. the fellow might make It hot for him. Wllkins hy this time was In a condition of mind tn see a term tn the penitentiary staring hltn In the fnce Instead of pulling himself together, returning the money openly and trusting to his ability to come out of the affair unscathed, he asked the man for the lady's address, promising to see thnt he got something by way of rewnrd. But the cabman by this time hnd come to believe there was a good deal In It and declined to give the blm tu do to trace ber and return the ���uoney. Moreover, there was a daintiness ��� bout the bag and Its contents tbat caused him to fancy the owner was young. Then, again, a middle aged woman would not likely be so careless as to leave a small fortune tn a cab, and an old one would be no more likely to be riding about with so much In her possession. At any rate. Wllkins would have It that the lady was young, nnd. having gone thus far. he (ancle*! she must be attractive. She bad doubtless been the last person to occupy the cab before him. and the driver could tell him about her. Wllkins put the hag and contents under bis coat and when he left the cab asked the driver for Information concerning Ms last fare. Wllkins was Informed thnt she was a young lady who hnd been taken In before a dry goods store and had been driven to a bank. She had come out of the bank and re-entered the carriage, ordering Mm to drive to another ���tore, where she alighted, seeming to be 111. She had staggered Into the store and disappeared. He hnd waited some time for her. but as she didn't reappear he gave up waiting for her and drove away. On thinking the matter over Wllkins did not believe there would he much hunting Involved In the case. The loss would be advertised, and all he needed to do was to wntch the per- j aonnl columns In the newspapers. This be did for n week, but not seeing the notice he expected he concluded thnt either the young lady had taken other means to recover her loss or had been til or possibly might have died. He Inquired at police headquarters If any ���ucb loss had been reported, but gain- ed no clew In this way. Be did not care to make known bis find, for be Sir Philip Sidney Outdene. In the seventh century wars between Denmark and Sweden a wounded Dane was about to raise a wooden bottle of water when a cry reached blm from a wounded Swede stretched on the ground at a little distance. The good Dane, using the words of Sir Philip Sidney, stumbled to the side of bis enemy nnd, saying. "Thy need is greater than mine." kneeled down and offered the water to his lips. But the Swede, suddenly raising a pistol, flred aud wounded the Dane In the shoulder. "Itascal!" cried the twice wounded soldier of Denmark. "1 would have befriended you, and yon would murder me In return. Now I will punish you. I would have given you the whole bottle, but now you shall have only hnlf." Be then raised the bottle to bis lips, drank of It and afterward gave it Into the hand tbat bud attempted to kill him. knew thnt If he did there would be | Hdare��� unless Wllkins would pay him many claimants, and It would be dlffl cult to bead off some of tbe more Inventus ones. The matter dragged along till Wllkins began to be troubled at holding ao large an amount of some other person's money. Then one day be con- tided tbe matter to his friend Brod- well. Brodwell said that he bad seen an advertisement of a large amount of money having been left in a cab, but just wben be had seen tbe notice Ihe couldn't remember, nor could be recollect tbe newspaper In which It 'had appeared. Wllkins made a search through the I newspapers Issued since be had found !the money, but they were so voluminous that be failed to Und what be looked for. This was discouraging. 'He began to fear that bis keeping the money would get him into trouble. Probably the matter hnd been put Into the hands of detectives who might bs out of the funds tbe reward the young lady bad offered. When Wllkins demurred at tbls, the fellow threatened to report him as the man who was holding the money. So Wllkins took the address, gave the man a thousand dollars and. taking the bag containing tbe bills just as be bad found tbem, called on the young lady.

STEEL RAILS A MARVEL The Strain, the Pull, the Pounding and Grinding They Endure. Hnve you an Idea of I tie strain to which a steel rail Is subjected today) Let us consider one for a moment lu the time of lis greatest torture and see. The C'niinon Ball express Is coming. It Is druwu by two engines. The largest weighs 100 tons. Seventy- seven tons of the weight are carried ou the six drlvlntt wheels, which means almost thirteen tons to a wheel Thirteen tons of weight upon each wheel: That means tblrteeu tons of weight Impinging for a flying Instant upon a rail surface perhaps no more than an Inch square and then moving forward all the time, a Bllccesslou of whirling blows from a thirteen ton hn miner If the train Is going thirty miles nn hour an Imaginary square Inch has hut one live-hundred and twenty eighth part of a second in which to receive the blow, wince under It. distribute the terrible force of It through Its elastic elements to the surrounding mass of the rail, brace Itself to help distribute stresses thnt are being set up nn ndjncent surfaces and zigzagging back and forth In all sorts of ways through the content of the rail and then almost Instantly lift Its devoted head to receive the blow of Ihe next driving wheel. If the train Is going sixty miles an hour Instead of thirty this all has to he received, withstood and passed on In one ten- hundred-and-flfty-slxtb part of a second And yet this isn't all that Is happening to the nerves of the rail. This Is only taking account of the compression strains. There Is another set of strains, for these big driving wheels are pulling the train. They have caught hold of the rails Just as yonr bands grip the rope In a tng-of-war. and they take a fresh hold every fraction of a second. The tendency Is to pull the top or head off Ihe rail, to pull It all to pieces. It ls the business of the rail to stick together, head and web and flange, in every single and sepnrnte molecule with all the tenacity of which steel Is capable. But we have stated only one-half the tension strain. This strain Is reversing all the time, for while Ihe huge drivers are pulling one pnrt of the rail toward them they are pushing another pnrt nwny from them. This plucking and spurning, hauling and kicking, tension and compression go on continuously. Complete reversing from compression to tension or back again takes place with every half turn of a driving wheel and at a frightfully rapid rate. The marvel Is that the j rail Is not ground to powder.-Metro- politan Magazine. LAUGHTER AND TEARS. Why an Outburst of the One May Cause ��� Flow ot the Other.
