"Goodness gracious!" exclaimed Miss Prissy. "And the settln' room not swept and the windows not washed! I'll have to get up early tomorrer mornln'. I'm so glad 1 fixed that ruffle on my alpaca." she added ln an ab- sentminded soliloquy. "And I must unish that tidy for the sofy," said MIs.s Tempy nervously. "I've only got a little more to do on it, thank goodness! Prissy, I'm goin' to put an iron on. I want to press my otlier collar. Did—did the cap'n say anything more nbout me—ub. I mean?" Bhe added, looking at the Btove. "No, ma'am, he didn't," replied the boy. "He Jest asked about me and told stories nnd talked." Miss Tempy seemed a little disappointed and made no comment. Her sister, too. wns silent Presently Bradley ynwned. He tried to hide It but Miss Prissy, coming out of her trnnce, saw him. "M.v sakes," she exclaimed, "whnt are we thlnkln' of. keepln' you up this way? It's after I) o'clock. Let me get the lamp. Tempy, you do up that aoapstone for his feet." '• . . • • • • Bradley was up early the next morning, aud his dressing was a sort of jig, for It was freezing cold. When he went downstairs It was evident that things had been going on. Miss Prissy came out of tbe sitting room, bearing a broom and with her "alpaca" go-recovered with an apron. Miss Tempy, her curls done up In papers, was busy with the "tidy" for the sofa. Each of the sisters wns nervous and excited. Miss Prissy said a stiff llttle grace at the breakfast table. Miss Tempy had a large cup of "pepper tea" for herself and urged Bradley to partake, but the elder .sister mme *fi tbe rescii^and gave hin] hor _"*Tk an_ Water instead. After the meal was over and tbe dl-tb- es washed Miss Prissy went out to feed the hens, and Bradley went with her. The house, seen by day, was a big, square building, badly In need of paint. The roof was four sided and eloped apward to a cupola In tbe center. From Its closely shut front door snow covered box hedges In parallel lines defined the path to the front gate, also locked and fastened and, like the front door, only used on occasions. There wns n large tumbledown barn, with an empty pigpen back of the hoi.se and a henhouse and yard in th* rear of the burn. Next door to the left—on the right was a vacant field—was a small story aud a half cottage, separated from the Allen household by a board fence. One of the boards In this fence had fiilleu down, and as Bradley, wading In Miss J'rissy's wake, passed this opening he suw a girl, apparently nbout his own age open the back door of tbe bouse next door and look out at him. He wanted to ask who ahe waa, but didn't feel well enough acquainted witb bis guide to do so just yet Just us the dozen hens and lonesome looking rooster were fed—Miss Prissy i Informed him that by and by looking latter tbe poultry would be one of his duties—Miss Tempy's voice was heard calling excitedly from the kitchen door. "Prissy," sbe screamed— "Prissy, come In tbe house quick! He's comin'! The cap'n's comin'1" "My land!" exclaimed the elder sls- jter wildly, and, her dignity forgotten, i she almost ran to the house, followed 'by Bradley, who didn't understand the cause of tbe excitement "Oh, my sakes," ejaculated Miss Tempy as tbey entered the kitchen, "what made bim come so enrly? | You'll have to see him first, Prissy. i I've got to fix my hair/' Miss Prissy rushed Into tbe sitting 'room, wheeled a chair into place, set a tidy straight, laid the photograph nl- I bum exactly In the center of tbe table | Instead of two Inches from the edge i and patted ber own hair with her haiiilH, dodging in front of tbe big 'gilt framed mirror as Bhe did so. ' Then, as a smart knock sounded on 'the dining room door,.she assumed her "company" smile and marched sedately to receive the visitor. It was Captain Titcomb who hnd , knock*—., nnd after cleaning the snow from his boots on the "scraper" he en- i tered the bouse, bearing two packages wrapped ln brown paper. "Well, Prissy," said the captain, laying down the packages to shake hnnds, ' "how d'you do? Didn't expect to see me In this port jest now, did you?" , "No, Indeed. Cnp'n Titcomb,' wns the ; **t_.Ls_. 'iB_ut.Ke'ra teal _l_lta **».__] nlT fhe same." Come rigiu In. Take your things off. Bradley said he rode down wltb you in the coach last night. Dreadful storm we had, wasn't It? How's your henlth nowadays? Walk right Into th^ sittin' room. You must excuse the looks of things. I've been sweepln'." There wns a good deal more, but when Miss Prissy stopped for breath the captnln, who had thrown his cap and overcoat on a chair, replied that the storm was bad, that his health was good and that the room looked "first rate." so far as he could see. Theu he held out his band to tbe boy. who hail seated himself on a chair close to the door, and snld cheerily: "Mornln", Brad. Well, how are you after your shake up last night?. Wau'l seasick after I got out, was you?" Bradley grinned bashfully and stam. mered that he was "all right" "Good! We had a rugged trip comin' over, Prissy. The old coach rolled se I felt like goin' on deck and shortenln' sail. Your new boy here's goin' ta make a good sailor, I can see that Where's Tempy?" "Oh. she's upstairs for a minute. She'll be right down," answered Miss Prissy carelessly. "Tell me what brought you home so unexpected." "Sprung a leak and had to lay the old hooker up for repairs. Thafs a specialty of my owners —repairs. They'd rather patch up for a hundred years than build new vessels. I—I— Brail, fetch me .'lem bundles out of the dinin' room." Bradley obediently brought the brown paper parcels, and the captain handed oue of them to Miss PriAj, saying: "Here's a little somethlu' I picked up over to New York, Prissy. I thought you might like It I ain't got much use for such things myself." The lady took the package and began to untie the string ln a nervous manner, blushing a little as she did so. "I know It's Bumethln' nice, Cap'n Ezra. You do buy the nicest things. It's real kind of you to remember ma thla way. Oh, ain't that pretty!" The package contained a Japanese silk (fan, with lvwy. sticks and a red tassel. Miss Prissy opened It and spread it out In her lap, exclaiming over Its beauty, her face tbe color of the tassel. "Oh, It ain't nothln'," said the captain. "I did a favor for a friend of mine that's skipper of a barkentlne jest home from Hongkong, and he gave lt to me. He had some stuff he'd brought for his daughter, and the duty on it would have been pretty expensive, so I fixed—but never mind thnt I thought maybe you'd like It to carry to church In. the siu-mec. tj2)c_ .or gome- tniu'. Why, hello, Teuipy! "How d'you do?" The younger sister entered the room, her poplin rustling and every curl ln place. She gushingly shook the captain's hand and Bald she was so glad to see him. "Oh, Tempy," cried Miss Prissy, "Jest look at this lovely fan Cap'n Titcomb brought me! Did you ever see anything so pretty?" Miss Tempy exclaimed over the fan, but somehow her enthusiasm seemed a little forced. It may be tbe captain noticed this; nt nny rate, he picked up the second parcel and handed It to her, saying: "Here's a little somethln' I brought for you. Tempy. I don't know's you'll like It but"- Mlss Tempy's present also was a fnn precisely like the other except thnt tbe tassel wns pink. Miss Prlssy's Interest ln her sister's gift wns Intense, but when It wns discovered thnt in no Important point were the fans dissimilar and tint neither wns better tban Its mate both of the Indies appeared to he a trifle disappointed, although they tried not to show lt "We're so glad you've come, cnp"n," suid Miss Prissy, after the fans wer laid on the table. "We've got so man; things to talk to you about, aud wt want to usk your advice. Bradley dou't you think you'd like to go oui into the dlnln' room n little while?" The boy. noting upon tbls decided hint, went Into tho dining room, nnd Miss Prissy shut the door ufter him. "Now, Cnp'n T'comb." she begun, "I s'pose you were '.wfiilly surprised to henr we'd took u boy to bring up? Well, you nlu't any more surprised than we are to think we should do such n thing. But It seemed ns If we jest hnd to or else give up bein' Christlnns altogether. I'll tell you how It wus." And she did toll hlin, beginning wltb the exnct relntlonshlp betweeu Bradley's mother and the Aliens, exputiut- lug upon the shlftlessness of the boy's father and bow he "never saved a cent'.' w<r_.sv£3 .topk.Qj-. im, lc-u-.ru.c» policy to'provide fe"rh- s'o_*fli case of his own death. "But, mercy me," she exclaimed, lifting her hands, "what on earth we'll do with n boy is rnore'n I know. Wbat shall we do?" "Bring him up In the way he ought to go, I guess," replied the cnptnln calmly. "Send him to school flrst thing. How is be off for clothes?" "Hasn't got any that are fit for anything but the rag bag." replied Miss Prissy with decision. "And thnt's nn- "Herc'8 a little mmctltin' I brought for ynu, Tempy." otber thing. Who's goin' to buy 'em for bim? I'm sure I dou't know whnt a boy needs to wear uny more than a cat." "I'll buy his fit out. lf you want me to." said the captain. "Take him down to Weeks' store right now, if you say the word." "Oh, I wish you would. You pay Mr. Weeks, and I'll pay you." They pressed the captain to stay for dlnuer, or at least to return for that meal, but he declined, promising, however, to dine with them before he went back to his vessel. "Come on. Brnd." he said, entering the dining room; "you and me's goin' on u cruise downtown." Bradley put ou the shabby overcoat end cap for the last time and walked down to the back gate and along the sidewalk with tbe cuptaln. Meanwhile Miss Tempy, seated in the rocker by the window and holding a fun ln each hand, was examining them with the greatest care. "Prissy." she eald at last In a solemn tone, "they're, jest exactly alike." "Yes," said her sister, with a stifled sigh, "they're lest alike." (To Be~ Continued) FAMOUS NAVAL ANCHORAGE. Kisses of History. Tbe efficacy of a fair woman's kiss was inoontestably proved when, in 1794, the famous Gordon Highlander- were raised by the lovely Ducheea of Gordon, who was directly instrumental in gaining a thousand recruits by the donation oi a guinea and a kiss apiece. In a sense, many of these kisses may be said to have been fatal, for in an encounter with the French shortly afterward more than 25* were either killed or wounded. Alain Char- tier, the French poet, is the hero (if a romantic legend. One day he Bat down in a public place, and being weary and exhausted by tha heat of the day, fell into a slumber. As be slept, Margaret of Scotland, the wife of the Dauphin, afterward known in history as Louis XL, chanced to pass with her attendants. She glanced at the unconscious man and recognized in him the poet whose verses she so loved. Then, motioning to her maids to be still, she gently stepped forward, and, stooping, imprinted a kiss on the sleeping poet's lips. At times, however, a kiss bas been the prelude to a tragic sequel, as that bestowed in 1718 by Prinoe Ferdinand of Bavaria npon Princess Thyra, the near relative of a ruler of a neighboring state, where he was en a visit. This affectionate greeting, a heedless whim of the moment, wan given under the very eyes of the prinoess' betrothed, who, naturally taking umbrage, soundly rated the thoughtless prinoe. Words came to blows, which resulted in a duel being arranged, and diplomatic relations between the two states were broken oft. In the war that followed, although hostilities lasted but six weeks, over a thousand lives were sacrificed. Wanted the Earth. She had been on the ocean three days and suffered the throes of seasickness all that time. When all hope of relief had fled, one of those well meaning nuisances came to her asked her: "Is there anything I can do lor you? What do you want?" "You can do nothing for ma. I want the earth." An/ she sincerely did. Coptio Superstition.

Along the sea wall between Ryde and Sea View there is a keen breeze blowing that whips the waters below into an unending procession of white horses. Although it is a misty day those passing along the wall may dis- eern Portsmouth and Southsea beyond on the mainland. In what the painters call the middle distance are the forts that dominate the entrance to our premier war harbor. Ponderous and inert amid the restless seas, they offer a vivid contrast to the long low line, with its pennon of murky smoke that marks the trail of a destroyer creeping out to the west. The waters that this lithe greyhound among ships flings back contemptuously from its bows are the waters of an historic anchorage • the assembly ground of the world's navies, Spithead. They have not always met upon peaceful missions, these warrior ambassadors of the powers. At the very dawn of naval warfare, Spithead was the scene of a conflict between the fleet of Henry VIII., under Lord Lisle, and the fleet of Francis of France, under d'Annebaut. Inconclusive in its results that battle was yet marked by a great disaster, the loss of the Mary Rose. Sir Edward Hownrd had once described this Bhip as "the noblest ship of sail at this hour that I trow be in Christendom." But she had a fault; her lower deck ports were too near the water-line. Tacking in a strong breeze, with the ports open, and the guns east loose, she took in an enormous quantity of water, was brought over on her beam ends, and rapidly sank. Her captain and all her complement but 35 went down with her. To-day, in the museum of the Royal United Service Institution, are a few relics of the ship, all that is left to remind us of one of the earliest of the great naval disasters in our history. And in thAt same museum are relics of another catastrophe similar in many respects—the loss of the Royal George at her moorings at Spithead. The story of the sad event is best told in the simple words of the monument in the churchyard at Portsea: "On the 29th day of August, 1782, Wis majesty's ship, the Royal George being on the heel at Spithead, overset and sank, by which fatal accident about 900 persons were instantly launched into eternity, among whom was that brave and experienced officer, Bear-Admiral Kempenfeldt. Nine days after many bodies of the unfortunates floated, 35 of whom were buried in one grave near this monument, whioh is erected by the parish of Port- sea as a grateful tribute to the memory of that great commander and his fellow sufferers." During the last half-century Spithead has seen many famous naval gatherings. In the early days of ironclads there, was a visit from tbe Prench fleet under Count Bouet- Willaumez, and a review at Spithead when such historic vessels as the Black Prinoe, the Hector, and the Defence lay in the line, and were all the topic of conversation among professional men. The two jubilee reviews and the coronation review brought together three wonderful assemblies of the warships of the world. In 1887 there were 109 British pennants flying, 28 armored ships and 83 others, besides foreign visitors. In 1897 there were 165 ships, and in 1902 there were 130. The mere figures give very little idea of the scene to those who were not actually present. Nor do they constitute a record, for at the great naval review in 1814 at Spithead, in honor of the allied sovereigns, th* Prince-Regent of Britain, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia Inspected a fleet of over two hundred vessels. There is one last seene in the story of Spithead that no Englishman can leave out of account—the passing of Queen Viotoria. The Alberta, with the white ensign at half-mast, and all the assembled warships in similar mourning, the dull, slow booming of the minute guns, the grey-hued clouds of amok? that hung listlessly over the face of the waters; these were the aspects of the great anchorage on a day when it did not rejoice.

How Some Famous Authors Sought to Advertise Themselves. The examples cited by Francis Grll*- ble In his article on "The Comedy of Literary Log Rolling" in the Strand Magazine arouse some suspicion ns to their absolute authenticity, but are amusing enough whether true or not. Sulnte-Bcuve Increased the circulation of his hooks hy insisting upon fighting; a duel ln the rain with uu umbrella over his head. Gerard de Nerval used to he seen ln the streets of Paris leading a lobster by a string. Mme. Kru- ilener. the author of "Valerie" and the- friend of Alexander I. of Russia, made the fortune of her novel by calling at nil the Paris shops and asking for various articles of dress "n ln Valerie." Of Victor Hugo and of Alexandre Du- nius the elder the following stories are told: Nor wns the great poet ashamed to roll his log even uta funeral. He seized the opportunity at tbe obsequies of oue of his own sons. It happened that on the wny to the cemetery the procession pnssed n traveling menagerie, and the lions, for whatever reason, stopped roaring just as Victor Hugo was in front of their cage. His companion, n minor poet named Pelleport. drew his attention to the fact. "Mas- tor." he whispered, "the lions recognize- you and hush their voices. The kin', of beasts is silent In the presence of t!i_- king of men." Victor Hugo bowed ami turned the mntter over In his mind. Then, after meditation, he said: "Pelleport, that was a happy thought of yours. Couldn't you write something nbout it?" And Pelleport wrote n sonnet nbout lt, nnd the fame of the mnster stood on a higher pinnacle than ever. And finally there was the case of Dumas, of whom It may almost be said thnt his whole life wns an advertisement. Some one once said of him thnt his vanity was snch that he was capable of getting up behind his own carriage in order to demonstrate thnt he1 had a negro footman in his service. He certainly did many things nlmost as nbsurd ns that In his restless pursuit of reclame. One of his delights wns to clothe his noble porportlons lu a uniform and to embellish the uniform with decorations to which he was. not entitled. He even went so far ns himself to design the uniform In which he fought—or. rather, did not flght for he arrived after the fighting was all over—ln Garibaldi's army, and he achieved a tremendous advertisement by conducting a well known actress to a court ball to which she had not been Invited. He got another advertisement by allowing bimself to be sued for nondelivery of a feullleton. He was utterly In the wrong, nnd he lost his case, but he kept the court In roars of laughter while he explained his literary methods and tbe nature of the distractions which had Interfered with the fulfillment of his contract. But the best of all his advertisement was attained when the announcement appeared that M. Alexandre Duma* would write the last chapter of a forthcoming romance sitting In a shop window, for nil the world to see how It was done. One can understand that that sort of advertisement would suit the authors who are also Interested In the sale of hair restorers. They almost owe It to the public to exhibit themselves ln this wny. killing two- birds with a' single stone. But for the author of "Monte Crlsto" to do it was surely the ne plus ultra of the comedy of log rolling. Tho Hanging of Pictures. A womnn hought three pictures In a Fifth nvenue art store. "Shall I send some one up to hang them?" asked the dealer. "I—I don't know," hesitated tbe woman, who had nlrendy exceeded her allowance ln buying the pictures. "How much extra will lt cost?" "Not a cent," the dealer assured her. "In the case of any Important snle we prefer thnt one of our men superintend the hanging of the picture. Thnt Insures Justice for the painting. Without meaning any disrespect for our customers, I must say tbat not one person in a hundred wbo has had no special Instruction ln art can take a picture home and plnee lt ln an advantageous position. A man who hns been trained to that business, on the other hand, cnn tell at a glance where to hang it nnd all the others In the room so tbnt each will bring out the best points of all tbe rest." •• - Canada's Frontiers. In the House of Lords recently. Lord Roberts, referring to Mr. Hal- dane's army scheme, the merit ot which he acknowledged, remarked that he could not leave out of account the most extensive and exposed of all our frontiers, Canada's. Could we be silent about the defence of Canada without inevitably conveying to Canadians the impression we did not consider the defence of Canada of vital importance? Surely if there were any nations to whom we could not afford to give ground for offence they were nations within the empire. But how could we offend them more deeply than by refusing to discuss questions which were matters of life and death to them? If the empire waa to be defended at all, it should be with the co-operation ol tha colonies. _, pm ■_____■__■■ THE ADVOCATE, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA- PAINS IN THE BACK OVER THE KIDNEYS Tell of Diseased Kidneys and the Proven Cure For This Dreadfully Painful Ailment Is DR. CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS When kidney disease does not arise from exposure to a draft or chilling of the body, it is usually developed gradually as a result oi liver and bowel disorders. It is because of the intimate and dependent relation of the liver, kidneys and bowels that Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills cure diseases of the kidneys when mere kidney medicines fail. By quickening the action of . the liver and bowels this treatment immediate'y lessens the work of the kidneys, and at the same time restores their natural vigor. In this way the most serious and complicated diseases of the kidneys are thoroughly cured. Miss Delia McDermott, 373 Main street, Moncton, N.B., writes: "For some time my mother could not walk across the floor or stoop over because the pains in her back just over the kidneys were so severe. She had severe headaches, backache, spells of blindnesis and dizziness, and tried many medicines without obtaining relief. The doctors oi our town said that the trouble was due to the turn of life. "A lady friend advised mother to try Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and by the time she had used two boxes of this great medicine she was perfectly cured, and the old trouble has never returned." Mr. J. Edwards, of Colborne, Ont., and who is employed by the Kennedy & Davis Milling Co., Lindsxy, Ont., writes: "I have taken Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills for some time, and can positively say that they are the best medicine I ever used. I was troubled very much with my kidneys and had dreadful pains in my back, which were increased by leaning over. "I can testify to the exceptional merits of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills because they have cured me, and shall gladly recommend them to anvone inquiring about them." Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills regulate the action ot the liver, kidneys and bowels, one pill a dose, 25 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto. A COUNTRY VISITOR. A Joke on the Preachers Reformers are human, like other folks, and sometimes strange things are done to them. When John H. Coyne was elected mayor of Yonkers a good many clergymen were worried about the kind oi police commission he wouid appoint. So they picked out a delegation and sent it to give the mayor some suggestions. He received his visitors politely, listened to their ideas, and then shook his head. "You're too late, gentlemen," he said. "The commission is picked out and I shall announce it tomor-j row." Then he went on to say that he wob going to appoint four men. One was a saloonkeeper whose place used to be raided about twice a1 week, another was a man who had been convicted as a keeper of a pool-1 room, the third was a notorious "sport" who had often felt the arm of the law, and the fourth was one of whom the best that could be said was that he had never been in jail. I The next day the names were announced, but the ministers looked in vain for confirmation of their advance information. The mayor hnd appointed four of the best known and most respected citizens of the place, ignoring politics absolutely. The number of deaths occurring among young children during the summer months is simply appalling. In the city of Montreal last we.sk, 175 children under the aee of five years died, and nearly all the deaths were due to stomach and bowel troubles. With ordinary care most of these l'ttle lives might have been saved. Watch the food given the little ones. Do not feed meats; seo that the milk given is pure, and give an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets, a medicine which surpasses all others in preventing and curing stomach and bowel troubles. An Absent-Minded Ecclesiastic A good story is told of a learned canon of the Anglican church in Canada, who is very thoughtful and studious, but very absent-minded. One morning he was going from home and bad his hand-bag packed and left in the hall, as he intended to walk to the railway Btation. After he had left the house his daughter came into the hall and saw the bag still there, and said to her mother: "Oh! mother, father has gone off and left his bag behind. I will run after him with it." Which she did, and when she arrived nt the station she found the canon walking about with the coal scuttle, which he had taken up >n place of his bag.

Happiness the Order of the Day, Tranquillity of the Night. The files of old newspapers are a priceless record of the history and manners of their times. In the papers of 1790 the accounts of public rejoicings show thnt these were few ln number and that the method of keeping them differed widely from our Ideas of festivities. Washington's birthday was perhaps the greatest holiday. "Industrious citizens," we are told, "appropriated the hour of noon for the congratulations of the day. Each family enriched the domestic meal with bountiful provisions, and gay spirits and temperate and undissembled Joy pervaded all classes." There were speeches and processions and Illuminations for tbe less industrious who were willing tj. give something more than the hour of noon to the celebration, but the most memorable observance of the day was that of tbe Harvard students. "Saying to each otber that it would be disgraceful to pretend to bonor Washington with riot and disorder, they retired to their chambers before 9 o'clock, nnd by the time tbe bells censed ringing there was not a light to be seen In any of the buildings." This ls equaled by the summing up of the celebrations of Fourth of July for the snme year, a day observed wit- great rejoicings. No accidents are reported, and the editor concludes, "In short, In every place we heard from happiness was tie order of the day, tranquillity of the nighf—Youth's Companion. Tha Luscious Grape. The grape, whose purple flood man for century after century has converted Into wine. Is a Persian by birth. Its cradle was on the sunny hills to the south of the Caspian sen, and there the ancients ate it and enjoyed its acid taste.

And then those dnys went by, and we bear of tlie renowned grapes of Palestine, whleh grew In Immense clusters and weighed fifteen pounds to the bunch.

A German baron's love affairs were described recently to Mi. Justice Gr-antham and a special jury in the King's Bench Division when he was mulct in £300 ($1,500) damoges for bleach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was Miss Agnes lschen and th« defendant was Baron Eudolph von Konig. The breach was denied. The action was founded, said counsel, according to the Tribune, on two verbal promises of marriage in September, 1902, and January, 1903. The plaintiff was a German and from 1894 to 1397 was learning the millinery business in Germany. When she came to London to seek employment she after an acquaintance of about five or six weeks went to live with him. At that time he was very poor, but he was now wealthy and described himself as a Baron of the German Empire. After this plaintiff and defendant traveled together a good deal. In February, 1898, he gave her an engagement ring with his monogram engraved inside.. Although the defendant introduced the plaintiff to many persons as his promised wife, the promise to marry was not carried out, and in December, 1906, she discovered that he had married some one else. On February 19, 1906, the defendant sent a most cmel letter to the plaintiff, in which he said:— "Eleven years have passed since I committed my one youthful folly, and ten years o! that time you have made money out of me. How nice it is now to quietly sleep with much money and nble U enjoy myself and know that you will die of hunger on the dustheap or in prison. Now comes my revenge for this ten years of money grasping. If I could save you with one penny from your downfall I would not do it; 1 would spit in vour face and give you one kick and see vou die in the gutter." Sandy's Query A Scotchman and his four children entered a fine, fashionable restaurant in London. Sandy ordered a bottle of lemonade and five tumblers. The waiter brought them, and stood some distance away to watch the proceedings. Sandy poured a little lemonade into each glass, and then produced a large bag of pastries and gave one to each of the children. The waiter did not like to see this behaviour in a high-class restaurant, and called the manager, who addressed Sandy thus: "Do you know who I am?" "Na," replied Sandy. "I'm the manager." "Oh, are you?" said Sandy; "then why the dickens is the ban' no piayin'?"—London Tit-Bits. ROUND W.'RLD IN 41 DAYS. Englishman Tells How He Beat Jules Verne's Record. Lieut.-Col. Burnley Campbell writes to The Times that he landed at Dover on June 13, after completing a circuit of the world in 40 days and 19 1-2 hours. If he had caught the St. Petersburg express at Berlin on June 12 he would have reduced the time by several hours. After asking whether this is a record for speed around the world he gives the following particulars of his trip. He left Liverpool on May 3 at 7.20 p.m. by the Canadian Pacific steamer. He arrived at Quebec May 10, 3 p.m., and left by the Canadian Pacific Railroad's oversea transcontinental mail train at 5 p.m. He reached Vancouver May 19, at 5 a.m., and left at 12.30 p.m. on the Canadian Pacific's mail steamer. Arrived at Yokohama 5 a.m., May 26, and departed at 7 a.m.. May 27. He readier Tsaruga May 28 at 9.30 a.m., and left at 6 p.m., by a Japanese steamer, which reached Vladivostock May 30. at 2.15 p.m. He then took a trans-Siberian train at 7 p.m. and arrived at Harbin May 31, at 7.25 p.m. He left at 8.30 p.m., and reached Irkutsk June 4, at 6.30 p.m. He arrived at Moscow on June 10 at 2.38 p.m., and left at 6 p.m. He arrived at Warsaw June 11, 9.30 p.m., and left at 11.30 p.m. Reselling Berlin at 11.35 a.m., June 12, he departed five minutes later, and arrived at Cologne the same day at 9.08 p.m., and left at 11.15 p.m. He arrived at Ostend June 13, at 7.30 a.m. and left at 11 a.m., arriving at Dover at 2.50 p.m. the same day. Lieut.-Col. Campbell >vas singularly fortunate in making connections, but on May 30 the steamer on whioh he was traveling ran aground on an isolated rock during a dense fog in the Sea of Japan. The tide fortunately lifted the ship off and enabled him to make railroad connection* at Vladivostock.

Joseph Beaudoin, 59 Bue St. Olivier, Quebec, P.Q., Can., writes: "Peruna is wonderful for indigestion. I eat whatever I want and l'O longer feel any depression. "Having had dyspepsia for a long iime and having tried various other remedies, I decided to try Peruna, and with the fourth bottle of it I was perfectly cured. "For this reason I recommend it to all those -vho are suffering with that terrible malady, dyspepsia. "I hope that all who are afflicted in this way will take Peruna as I did." 'The experience of Mde. Beaudoin ■cuglit to be sufficient proof to anyone «f the value of Peruna in cases of catarrhal dyspepsia. If you suffer (from stomach catarrh in any of its ■various forms, give Peruna a fair (trial, avoiding in the meantime all auch indiscretions in diet as would tend to retard a cure, and you will •noon be rewarded bv a normal appetite and healthy digestion.

A haggard looking man strolled Into a downtown drug store the other day and asked the druggist for help. He said he had trouble In getting to sleep wben he retired. No matter how sleepy he might be during the day or how much sleep he might have lost, the moment his head touched the pillow he was wide awake and lay thus for several hours. Once asleep ho was very hard to waken, but he had to be up at a certain hour, and in consequence of his peculiar affliction he was losing more sleep than he could stand. The drug clerk regarded hlni quizzically a few moments and then replied: "My dear man, yon don't want medicine. What you want Is something to change the trend of your thoughts. Do as a friend of mine did. He was troubled the same way and found that the old folks' plan of Imagining sheep passing a barrier and counting tbem was out of date, so he began trying to name all the states In the Union. He soon got them so he could classify them alphabetically. Then, when tbey no longer interested him, he started on the counties of his state. He now has tbem at his tongue's end, classified up to tbe fourth letter. Now he Is starting on state capitals and their locations. Then he will take up county seats. A moment's glance at an atlas during the day shows him wheu he is wrong, and the beauty of tbe plan i3 that he rarely his to think along these lines longer thnn ten minutes before he Is sound asleep.

The following extract from an interesting hook may lie of Interest to our friends. It is "From My Life as un Auglei," by William Henderson, published in Loudon iu 1870. "About this time, while rambling in the picturesque lane leading from Mer- rington to Windlestone With two other boys, au adventure occurred sufficiently startling to two little fellows from nine to ten years old. We were busily engaged in picking wild strawberries, which clustered In the hedgerows, when we saw at about a hundred yards distance a pack of at least twenty wensels running from hedge to hedge and evidently scenting out footsteps. It flashed upon us that we wero being hunted. So, springing over the nearest hedge, we ran across a pasture field and, standing upon the farther bank, looked back toward our assailants. To our dismay we saw the whole pack, with noses to ground, steadily tracking our course. The word was given, 'Bun, run!' and off we scampered across another field to take up our position on another hedge. Still the pursuit was going on. and the creatures were evidently gaining upon us, so with a wild shout we fled to tho village, whlcb, happily for us, was uot far off. I have frequently heard of persons being attacked by weasels, but was never hunted by them on any other occasion." The above must have occurred about 1812, the locality being the north of England.—Forest and Strenm. Fatalism Exemplified.

Nothing is so often overestimated as the information given confidentially. As a rule, what a man calls his rights represent merely desired privileges. You may have forcrotten more than the other man knows and still lie a short horse. The man who Is scared Into being good Is the ono most likely to boast of his exceeding virtue. There are lots of ways of wasting time. Feeling sorry for yourself brings about as little returns as any. When a mau goes to church and hears a sermon which seems intended expressly for him, he never enjoys it very much.

"Certainly," said Mr. Tree; "I made a bet that we should pass through 400 different odors and we only encountered 399." "Ah." was the quick reply, "you missed the odor of sanctity."—Argonaut. Drinking Excuses, Excuses for drinking are always at hand. Here are the five familiar ones: Good wine, a friend, or being dry. Or lest we should be by and by— Or any other reason why. If they don't suffice one can always fall back upon Dr. Sam Johnson's, "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." On the other band, here are three reasons, one of them cogent, that a Bos- tonian gave for not drinking: "First—I can't drink, for I've Jnst lost a near relative. Second (when much pressedi. — No. I really can't You know I'm president of a temperance society. Third (when he was much more pressed).—No, 1 can't Indeed.

The song of the Maori tattooer in days of old was prophetic, for his will soon be a vanished art. Already much hai., according to The British Australasian, been lost regarding the value and significance of the chiselled spirals and arabesques, for when the J Maori of the old school disappeared beneath the yde of an advancing civilization the key to this knowledge was buried with him. Neither the white man nor the modem Maori can explain the principles on which the moko or face-markings, of one chief used to differ from that of another, or can interpret the imagery expressed in the various spirals. The practice of tattooing is dying out so rapidly 'that the time Beems near at hand when the history of this astonishing custom will have to be taken from the dried specimens. It is this that makes Major-Gen. Robley's collection of dried tattooed heads so interesting and valuable. This collection, patiently gathered together during a long series of years, contains no less than tliirty specimens of tattooed heads, ranging in period from 1770 to 1831, and illustrating with remarkable completeness the style and skill of tho old-time Maori artists. These heads exceed in number those to be found in the museum of New Zealand, the British Museum, the Jardin des Plantes, the Royal Museums of Washington, Borne, Sydney, and others combined. The collection is thus unique, and, indeed, irreplaceable. It is carefully classified and arranged, and shows the wild art in its different conventional stages from the young warrior to the tukipu or fully- tattooed chief. Many visitors from New Zealand have been to see Major- Gen. Robley's collection in London, and have expressed the hope that it will find a resting-place in the country from which it originally came. This also is the desire of the owner of the collection, and though he has received offers from continental museums, be is willing to give the New Zealand Government an opportunity of acquiring the relics Ior preservation in one of the museums of the colony. New Zealand has sai- fered seriously from the depletion of its most notable relics during the past hundred years, and every effort should be made to repair the misehie! whenever tba opnortanito <«*__». Results of Crossing Geese. In a series of experiments on cross- ing geese for market purposes the Rhode Island experiment station found the Euibden-Toulouse cross the best for both early and late markets and especially .or the production of large geese for the Christmas and New Year's markets. They are large hardy and when dressed present a fine appearance. The Embden-White China cross picked the easiest, were white when dressed and, although small, presented the most attractive appearance. Ration For Baby Beef. ' Some of the most successful feeders of baby beef have used silage (from fifteen to twenty-five pounds daily) with good results in a ration consisting of about three pounds of eornmoal, two pounds of wheat b.an and plenty of clover hay. In such a ration the silage will add the succulence, but if silage is not available a small quantity of roots will answer tlie same .purpose. In the Coils of a Python Mr. Cocklin, walking in thick grass near the Marieo river, Bechuana- land, was thrown to the ground by a 14-foot python, which coiled round his legs and then tried to drag him to a tree nearby, so that, by coiling its tail around the trunk, it might proceed to crush him to death. When within two yards of the tree Mr. Cocklin got a hand free and shot the snaked which was so heavy that it needed three men to lift it. —East London Dispatch.

Some persons have periodical attacks of Canadian cholera, dysentery or diarrhoea, and have to use great precautions to avoid the disease. Change oi water, cooking, and green fruit, is sure to bring on the attacks. To such persons we would recommend Dr. J. D.

An Irishman who had begun to practice photography went into a shop to buy a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be.

BADAME'S greatest desire, was to be considered a good marksman. In an unguardes* moment he told gome friends that he> had with ease often shot a pear from a. tree In liis orchard at a distance of 100 paces. The friends, however, were- not Inclined to put much faith la th— statement, and asked that they be. permitted to witness this exhibition of: line shooting. Poor Mr. Badame felt that he must, uphold, at any cost, the reputation he- had given himself. He knew only toe* well that lt would lie impossible for hln> to hit a pear at that distance (or most, any distance), so he engaged Johnny- Jones to climb into the tree and drop ».. pear as soon as he heard the shot- Be-. sides bestowing a liberal reward u_w_, Johnny, he presente-l him with a bag of; juicy pears. T In due time th, .-lends arrived. Mr.. Dadamo carefully counted off 100 paces, and then confidently took aim. Johnny, meanwhile, had. without thinking, bo- gun to eat the pear he was to drop, and, when the shot rang out his wits were so muddled that he let fall the bag ot pears given him. Much good-natured chaffing did the. would-be marksman receive upon the. size of the "pear" shot from the limb- Never again did Mr. Badame boast ot his ability as a shot. Cheerf&l Generosity. The piece of money was bad, without a doubt. Tony turned to the little boy to whom he hnd just sold a juicy pear and who was waiting for his change. "Leetle boy," said he, "the monce ees not good." The boy answered, good-naturedly. "Oh, then vou can keep all of the. chnnge, Tony." Co*m*p«dcs-true"he mutters Just Wanted It. Mother had let Dorothy go into- the restaurant all alone.

"L" ET the seventeen robbers be impaled upon the stakes!" commanded the sultan. So beforo his throne seventeen strong poles, sharpened at both ends, were planted In the ground, and upon each of these ' AVE you ever been ar.noyet1 by, I want of a very fine thread? Well, here la an idea. It amounts to vew littlo as an economy, but as a convenience its proportion ls great. The very nicest fine thread you cau have for sewing ls the warp of fine lawn. But lt must be the warp and not tho cross-thread. The next time you tear oft a selvedge, instead of feeling annoyed at the long threads which eome loose, wind them on a spool for future use. They will be very handy. Tou will find them quite strong and much nicer to work with for very fine sewing than ls a manufactured thread of the same thickness. In making fine ties by hand, for Instance, lf the hems are sewed with this warp, not a single stitch will be visible, and the sewing -will last as long as it made with manufactured cotton. In making colored dresses, t-h> same plan ls a good one to follow ln regard to any specially dainty little piece of sewing, as one ls sure of a "good match." Also, lt ls well to have on hand such threads to use for darning, should necessity occur. Here you not only have the color, but the fibre and the exact thickness. Creamed Cucumber Sauce. (By request.) i_re and mince with a keen knlf" two cucumbers of fair size. Drain off the liquid without pressing it, letting it drip for two minutes. Have ready a chilled bowl, rubbed with a clove of garlic. Put the mince into it, season with white pepper, salt, a teaspoonful of onion juice, and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Mix lightly Into it with a silver fork a cupful of whipped cream, Into which has been beaten a pinch of Boda. Serve very cold with fish. A Delicious Graham Pudding. One cup of sugar, one cup of milk, one egg, two cups of Graham flour, one cup of chopped apples and raisins or other fruit, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder; salt and flavor If desired. Steam, loosely covered, for three hours, without raising the cover or allowing the flre to slacken at all. It may be used as cake or be eaten with a hard sauce made of sugar and water hollcd until It begins to thicken, allowed to cool, then beaten until •my nnd flavored. Another, but perhaps not more pal- itable, is made of one and one-half • .ni of sugar and one-half cup of lutter. beaten together; three tablespoonfuls of hot water and beaten whi.e of one egg. Flavor with juice and yellow rind of a lemon or anything; vou like. Peeled OS. The wise doctor had been explaining to his little daughter about skeletons.

Meanwhile, the sultan smiled in delight. One night the sultan had a dream. He dreamed that he had gone to battle against his enemies, and that he had been captured by them. He was taken to a deep dungeon where heavy chains were put upon him. Then they liun,. him up by his thumbs, beat him with lashes, made htm walk upon sharp spikes, and almost pulled him apart on a horrible machine. Last of all, they hung him over a great cauldron of boiling oil. Slowly he was lowered until he almost touched the liquid. He yelled in agony—and then awoke. Springing from his couch, he shouted: "Loose the prisoners; there shall be no more torture!" The sultan kept his word, and hts people, w-ho before had hated him, now loved him devotedly. A Holder for a Teaoot Handle IB" YOU have ever taken fcold su*::ea« ly of a hot teapot or coffee-pot handle, and Just as suddenly drop- ped It, to the destruction of handsomo china, you may welcome a little holder that can be made really ornamental as well as useful. Cut two circular pieces of linen, six Inches long and fc - wide. On one t b—ilder a simple design ln forget-me- nots, or daisies, ln white mercerized cotton, and leave the other piece plain. Baste tl edges together and bind all around with a narrow wash galloon in white. On the under half leave an opening ln the centre Into whlcb can be slipped either a quilted lining ot canton flannel, or asbestos, the same shape as the cover. Fasten this piece with tiny buttons and buttonholes. If one does not care to work the floral design on the cover, a large monogram, or three lengthwise ribbon initials, padded and worked in satin stitch, vi.ll be very stylish. Though not as ;«.nvenlent or as new as tho removable linen holders, which can be easily laundered, a dainty little affair can be made of odd remnants of flowered or plain silk or cretonne. These small holders may be square, circular or oval ln shape, though perhaps the last ls most convenient. Cut two pieces the required shape, pad them with several thicknesses of cotton wadding, sew them together and quilt In nmnll diamonds. A frill of narrow ribbon may then be pleated all around the edge to give a pretty finish. j (AGAIN THEY FOOL MP-CATQB.J ******** THE ADVOCATE, VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA. -Sept. 21, 1907— t0*0**********«00f0***0***** Phone 014* Central ■I I in— Wood Yard All kinds of Mill Wood.

I Men would never be superstitious if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favored by fortune; but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear hy the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favors, they are consequently, for the most part, very prone to crc- iulity. The human mind is readily swerved this way or that in times of doubt, especially when hope and fear are struggling for the mastery; though usually it is boastful, overconfident, and vain.—Benedict Spinoza (1032-1077).
