Western Float TOLSTOI'S LAST WORDS Before he passed from earth, the great Tolstoi left this farewell message to the world : "Iustead of returning evil with evil, try to return evil with good ; to say nothing-ill of men; to act- kindly even with the ox and dog. Live thus one day, two days or more and compare the state of your mind with its state in former daj's. Make the attempt ancl you will see how the dark, evil modes have passed away, and how the soul's happiness has increased. Make the attempt and you will see that the gospel of love brings not merely profitable words, but the greatest and most desired of all things." with its is oonght THERE WERE OTHERS Keen theologian though ho is, tho Prebendary Wehb-Pepl.;o is not without- a strong' vein of humor.

AN ACT OF KINDNESS A coal car filled with coal right from the miues was side tracked in Nashua a few weeks ago and every now and then the yard men in the employ of the railroad would hear the piteous cries of a cat coming from this car. It was only a cat, just a common vajueless cat, but railroad men often have big, warm hearts under a rough exterior, so they planned to bring relief to the imprisoned animal. They went to tho emergency car ancl procuring tools, pried and hammered and worked away until at last they reached the poor creature almost too'weak by this time to make further cries of either suffering or relief, after its long fast and imprisonment, in a huge car of coal. The relief gang did not wait for any expression of gratitude but procured food and milk and now the cat i6 the pot of tho railroad boys. lb has beeu proved that those who do kind acts to the lower races become in nil the relations of life bolter men and wornou. ��������� A-gun club is to be organized in Stewart.

It Was at the Bottom of a Plot By ESTHER VANDEVEER Copyright, 191U. by Arnericun Press Association. "Goodby, riarolcl." "Goodby, i lice." These, aud these nloue. were the parting words between Llarold Uotu- well and Alice Swain, for their tieurts .were too full to say more Tliey were to bave been niiirrk'd within a few months, but I'oiliwell had developed pulmonary trouble, and it wass decided tbat be should go west and live an outdoor life. The prospect before tbem was gloomy. liven if Harold recovered his health the giving up of prospects bj wns leaving might keep him In poverty and necessinite their continued sep.-irntiun. lie turned away aud set out for lhe railway station Alice wtui-Ui-cI him (ill lie reached 11 betid in the road, when he turned and threw her u kiss. She returned It, and lie passed out of slfilit. Sad as they were, they would have been fur mon. 60 had they kiinwti what would hap pen before I hey should meet again. That same day two years heni-o found Uothwell iliiittiHul malinger for Henry Palmer, a ram-her, though but Just appointed to ilie position. Roth well had long been a sheep herder for Palmer, and tlie out ol" door life bad completely cured him of his ailing As soon as It was considered safe for .him to lead a more conlined life l'alin er, who had taken a great fancy to him and who needed a clerk, put him in charge of lhe lin.-uicial part of hit. ranching. Then Kothweil wrote to Alice Swain that within another year he hoped to return lor her and bring ber hack with him. The ranch was not a large one, and the owner and his clerk were the onl.i two persons engaged upon it except n few herders, who were always awa.< in care of the (locks. The men be came very warm friends and were a I most consi.-iiiily together. One da; Palmer said 10 hi.-< clerk: "Von know, Harold, that I am .- bachelor ami have uo one in the worl-.' to leave what belongs to me. l'n going to make a will bequeathing thi ranch and the stuck on it to you " Itotbwell smiled. "Considering tha you are but ten years older than I am far stronger, I think 1 would bette. leave my possessions, if I had any. n you." "Furthermore," Palmer continue) without untieing the comment, "then are five Sl.ono bonds, which will als. be yours. These bonds, together witl some old family trinkets, I have plac ed in hiding, and I am going to show you where they are hidden. They too, will go to you at my death." He led the way to the altic and from a recess formed by a corner In the roof between two joists took a tin bos, opened It and showed Itothwell the bonds nnd the trinkets referred to The la I ter consisted of a gold watch bearing the Initials IT. P. and some articles of jewelry. "You are very kind," said Rofhwell "to make me your heir; but. as I have said. I don't thlnlc there is the slight est chance of my ever receiving my in heritance." "There Is a better chance than you think," said the other. Rothwell looked at him inquiringly but received no further confidence. Palmer replaced the box. and the two men returned to tbe lower story. Then Palmer opened a safe kept on the premises, took out a will, showed Rothwell that it was in his favor, put It back and closed the safe door. "Why," asked Rothwell, "dou't yon keep the bonds and the other things In the safe?" "I have a special reason for not keeping the bonds there. As to the ���������watch and jewels, it doesn't much matter where they are kept. Sotm day you may learn the reason. So long as I live I can trust yoii not to disturb tbe box in the garret, and after my death what it contains may be of some benefit other than for their Intrinsic value." "To whom?" "That will appear at the time." This was not very satisfactory, but Rothwell was obliged to be satisfied ���������with It. It was but a few weeks after this that Rothwell, having got in some funds for the sale of sheep, rode to the town, some dorten miles away, to deposit the money in bank. Tbe day proved an eventful ono. On tbe way two masked men sprang u|x>n him from a wood betride the road and robbed him. Returning to the ranch, he found Palmer lying In the living room of the bouse with a bullet hole in his brain. As soon as he had sufficiently recovered from the shock to think he determined to ride to the nearest ranch, get n messenger and send for the proper authorities to come and take legal action upon the matter. Palmer, concluding with the statement that he wns Palmer's heir, that he had started for the bank that day to deposit some $1,200. been robbed on the way and returned to find his benefactor murdered, the official looked at him curiously. Then be called a messenger aud sent bim off posthaste. When tbe messenger returned he brought the sheriff with him, who, without a word of explanation, clapped a pair of hundcuffs on Rothwell's wrists. Tbe prisoner was taken to town und lodged In jail, charged with the murder of Henry Palmer and the embezzlement of the funds he.claimed he had intended to put in the bank. The case was one of circumstantial evidence���������or, rather, of motive���������aloue. ft was assumed (hat Rothwell had got behind in bis accounts, had embezzled the amount of which he claimed he had been robbed and. feat-lug that if detected he would lose his Inheritance, bad killed the man whose property he would inherit. This made a strong case against him, and there was very little to be said iu Ills favor. No trace of any -me having attacked Palmer and no evidence of Rothwell's story that he had been robbed appeared. Tbe court retained charge of Palmer's property, but allowed the legatee stitlicienl funds lo pay a lawyer to defend him Ills attorney did the best In his power for him. but was unable to establish his innocence. Tlio jury hung for some lime between murder In tlie lirst and second degree, but dually brought In a verdict of guilty of the former. He was sentenced to suffer the death penalty. And so it was that Rothwell. having escaped death from tuberculosis, having reached a condition where lie might bring his sweetheart to him as Ms wife, was doomed to suffer on the gallows for a crime he had not committed. There are not tlie delays in punishment for crime in new countries there are where the safeguards against infringing on the rights of accused persons are more strictly enforced. Rothwell was sentenced to be hanged a few weeks after his conviction. No new trial was granted, no stay of proceedings, and tile day of doom was near when something happened. A young woman stood looking in through the window of a pawnshop in the town where Roihwell was convicted. At the time an oflicer of lhe law dressed in plain clothes was in tbe shop interviewing the pawnbroker ;:bout some stolen goods that he had loaned money on. The woman entered the shop and produced a watch on which she asked for a loan. The broker inspected tbe watch and at once caught sight of two letters, "II. P.," on the case. "Whose initials aro those?" asked the broker. Tbe woman said she did not know The detective took a hand in question ing her and, her replies being contradictory, took her to police headquarters. There, after many surmises, some one noticed that "H. P." were llio initials of Henry Palmer, for whose murder Rothwell was to be hanged in a few days. The chief of police put the woman through the "third degree" process, with the result of a confession that she bad murdered Palmer. Many were inclined to doubt thai the confession was genuine. Had il not been for the fact that the woman had attempted to borrow money on a watch with Palmer's initials on it little attention would have lava paid to her statement. She claimed to' have been a discarded wife of Palmer's, and it wns for this casting off that she hud killed him. The watch was shown to Rothwell, and he told the police where he had seen If. This identified the woman with Palmer, she was charged with bis murder, and Rothwell was released. He asked to see the 'person who stood in his place and was taken to her cell. "What was his amazement to recognize A Ihe Swain Before he had time to betray their relationship she gave him a look that put him on his guard. She then spoke to him as a stranger, telling him that if he could get permission to see her alone she would throw additional light on the murder. Permission was granted, and the two were left alone. Not during to embrace each other, they refrained. Alice talked about the murder, but, fearful of being overheard, said nothing to reveal the true situation. Meanwhile she scratched on a hit of paper: This Is a plan to save you. Luckily you wrote me of the tin box. I came, took lhe watch and pawned it to get arrested. Go away and I win convince them of my innocence. It was agreed between them througii tbe same medium that Harold should have a: week before' Alice revealed the trick. When the period had expired and tie . was safe in hiding she called for the lawyer who had defended him and told him how Rothwell had written her of the interview he had had witli Palmer and of the tin box, showing him the letter���������bow she had gone to the hiding place, taken the watch and pawned It, knowing tbe mnu who was at the time with the pawnbroker to be a detective. The attorney soon obtained a dismissal of the charge against her, and later she was set at liberty.

They became very irritating, and gradually became worse, so that I could not sleep at night. I consulted a physician, who treated me a long time, but it got worse, and I could not put my hands in water. I was treated at the hospital, and it was just the same. I was told that it was a very bad case of eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that I could for nearly eight years, until I was advised to try Cuticura Ointment. I did so and I found after a few applications and by bandaging my hands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing. I could sleep well, and did not have any itching during the night. I began after a while to use Cuticura Soap for a wash for them, and I think by using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment T was much benefited. only having a few applications and finding ease from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the Cuticura Ointment and Soap for nearly six months and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear as anyone.

But Many People of Advanced Years Have Learned How to Keep These Organs Healthy by Using DR. CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS The kidneys are often the first organs of the body to cause trouble. Their work of filtering the blood is greatly increased by excessive eating or by use of highly seasoned foods and alcoholic drinks. As advanced age comes on most people suffer more, or less from derangements of the kidneys. With some there are years of pains and aches, with others Bright's disease is soon developed and the end comes auickly. FositHvvtely a great many have learned about Dr. Chase's Kidney and Liver Pills, and are enabled by their use to keep the kidneys healthy and active. This medicine is entirely different from ordinary kidney treatments, and invigorates the action of the liver and bowels. To this' combined action is attributed its remarkable success. Mr. Richard Preston, Osborne, Lambton County, Out., writes:���������"I want to testify to the wonderful curative properties of Dr. A. W. Chase's Kidney ancl Liver Pills. Seventeen years ago I began the use of this medicine, when my back was so bad that to stoop or rise was torture to tne.

It is one of the most common and at the same time most dangerous diseases with which growing girls suffer. It is common because the blood so often becomes impoverished during development, when girls are too frequently allowed to over-study, overwork and suffer from a lack of exercise. It is dangerous because of the stcalthiness of its approach, often being well developed before its presence is recognized, and because of its tendency to grow so steadily worse if not promptly checked, that it may run into consumption. The value of the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be known to every mother in the land. 'These Pills make new, rich blood, tone the organs and nerves, bring a glow of health "to pale, sallow cheeks, and drive away the weakness, headaches, faintness, heart palpitation and loss of energy so noticeable in young girls who are suffering from anaemia. To all such Dr..Williams' Pink Pills are an. actual life saver. Miss Mabel McTavish, Prince Albert, Sask., says: "In my case I can only say that life had lost its magic; all work was a trial, and even pleasure only a task. When I went up a flight, of stairs I was ready to drop from sheer weakness, and I had begun to think that life would be a continued burden. But all this is now changed, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These were recommended to me, and after taking them for about a month I found my health renewed. I could sleep better, my appetite returned, and I was so strong and well that house work was no longer a burden to mc. My sister seemed to be going the same way last summer and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were at once sent for, and two boxes made her as well as ever. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now the prized medicine in our home, and doctor bills have been fewer since we discovered the virtues of this great medicine."

When the unfortunate fell asleep in the billiard room, two smiling attendants appeared aud carried him to bed. The next morning the other guests.were awakened by the host in person, and conducted to a peephole through which they saw the young man lying asleep on a white plastered floor. The ceiling was carpeted and the various articles of bedroom .furniture were securely fastened to it and hanging downward.

A congress of European astronomers decided that the present time���������that Is, the present moment at any particular fusta-nt���������consists of the hundredth part of a second. This has been settled, on because these- men of science have thought that it ..represented the tiniest fraction-of time'which could be appreciated by the human brain. Yet the thousandth part of a second Is actually used in physical science, especially in certain important uses of electricity. For scientific purposes, however, the official present moment flashes from the future to the past In the hundredth part of a second. This cannot seem so remarkable when it is recalled that speed records for' both horses and men runners are officially calculated in fractions as small as one-fifth of a second. But in astronomy It is needed to have the hundredth part of a second, for In that moment light can travel 2,000 miles. So time, which is, after all, only a figure of speech and is a mystery that uo hmuan brain can understand or fathom, must be considered relatively to one's sensations. The lime to pull an aching tooth is really much longer to the sufferer than a whole night spent in sound sleep. It Is more of the person's actual life. It demands more food to stand the nervous strain and the pain than hours of quiet rest. Time, then, for all men Is relative to their personal sensations. Yet time is real enough, it takes actual time for starlight to travel, in some cases thousands of years. It.takes time for sound to travel and time for the electric wave to work actual results over long distances. s . x So that time is not only theoretical; it Is as real as coal and wood. Yet this reality stretches 'oyer a human lifetime back to ages before the existence of the sun and the stars. For purposes of ordinary human work the second is small enough to use as a standard of value, but scientific men have progressed so far in knowledge that the second is too longa period for tbem to consider as the' scientific Instant. Therefore they have chosen the hundredth of a second as the standard for the length of time that they will consider as the actual moment at any one instant���������Cincinnati Enquirer.

They had argued long and furiously over the question, "Can a man marry his widow's niece!" and the highly talented lawyer in the corner had waxed eloquent over the marriage laws of every state in the Union, every country in the world, civilized and uncivilized, and had cited the affinity tables of every church and even the legislation of Lycurgus down to rbat of Brigham Young, when a young man quietly announced his intense desire to be informed where the deuce a man was when his wife was a widow? Then the discussion closed down and fourteen excited controversialists or dered iced water.���������New York Times. REST AMD HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD. .

"What sort of fish do you catch here?" he said. "Mostly trout," replied the mnn. "How mauy have you caught ?" "Jfbout ten or twelve,.sir." "What is about the heaviest you have caught?'1 continued the gentleman.

There has been exhibited before tha Roynl- Rnniety of Landmi. a-for.m.,ol microscope, the invention of Prof. Gordon, by means of which enormous magnification of an object can, it is stated, be attained without the blemishes due to optical causes that formerly marred such images,,says Harper's-Weekly. We may suppose that the enlarged image of an object i3 received from a j microscope lens upon a ground-glass ' focusing screen, and that thenanoth- ed microscope is employed still further- to enlarge the image so formed. This is, of course, quite feasible, but the grain of the glass would be magnified together with the image and would vitiate the result. Prof. Gordon uses a translucent screen of the finest possible texture, and he causes it to be kept in continual motion while the object is being viewed or photographed. By this means the grain of the screen is eliminated and the greatly magnified image of the object alone seen. Specimens magnified to the extent of ten thousand diameters were shown as proof of the efficacy of the method adopted.

The anniversary of the death of Jenny Lind calls to mind a most lovable and charming personality. The Infirmary at Norwich, uamed after her, "The Jenny Lind Infirmary," was founded fifty-eight years ago by her. She was one of the sweetest singers that "ever poured upon the world a flood of harmony," and- among other of the great men of her time who appreciated her at her right value was Mendelssohn, who, said of her. "Sho is as great an artist as ever lived, and the greatest I ha\o known." For a long time she lived in Kensington, at Clairville Grove, in a pretty one-storied cottage, over which grew a fine magnolia. A critic wrote of her, after she had sung for some years in grand opera, that if she had not been the greatest singer in the world, she would have been the greatest actress." ��������� .

These all lead directly ti absolute free trade and many people in the West who came to this country recently havo been misled by them. They are demanding that the Laurier party keep its pledges which would sound like a joke were it not for the fact that these men have not been long in the country. Of course the gov ernment has no intention of carrying into effect the doctrines they preached in opposition. They are therefore putting the farmers off with tho pri*tp.xfc that nothing can be done until after Ihe reciprocity negotiations with tho United titate-3 are concluded. When the treaty, however, is finally made the government will have to face the growing sentiment in the West which they havo underrated. If the treaty amounts to little���������und few- believe that it will amount to much���������the West will not be satisfied. Now the government is cry ing to the opposition for help. One day the Conservatives are charged with being in sympathy with tin free tradei-H, the next they an* urged to vote with the government in order to put an end to the de maud for- tariff reduction. TiV Conservatives havo not had a chance to make a tariff for fifteen years and they certainly do not look upon the Fielding tariff as a. work of perfection. Tariff changes of various kinds aro bound to c-iiuc but they will probably come fnitn the hands of the next government. When the Western Farmers were here someone hastily organized the sessional me.iPon������'*,r������������ around the purliuuicut building*; in to a ''Quebec Farmers' Alliance" aud a memoiial was hastily drafted iu French praying 'that tho tariff be not reduced.' A Liberal correspondent handed around press notices of this counter-demonstration. At the last moment someone got cold feet aud the new ''Alliance" suddenly disolved without presenting the memorial. There wa.H groat fcurry then to recall the prefcti w\,ken, MUAD������ROU3 GERMAN ARTILLERY. flnhaof'Vrri-iJjly iJ^.n.Vjtive i'oviei-. Wltl: ��������� Nh\t ron-ili*r und l-;?:;ilos!rc Slit-lls. So dt'dtnic-tivo iii i!s elTeofs is tbe ne-.v "jcrni.-:.n artillorr tlwi it is asserted, onef- the ranjje were found, a battery would an niliibite an entire division iu a very short tiinr>. 1'iima facie, this set-ms rather to aordi'i- on the impossible,.but when the re- -ults uf the experiments which wore recent- '���������y Hindi! in the presence of the emperor villi tin; new weapons arc considered the :.-.sic dues not appc-ar'to the London Court ���������'imrnid to be so impracticable after all. Vim lirst shot fired in tbe course of these -.'xpei-inK-iits was at a target fjlaccd fifty .aices from a wood. The missile missed rhe target, but plowed its way for 500yards through tho wood. Shortly afterward o large area of the wood was discovered to b������ on lire. This was due to tho shell being ���������-���������barged with a certain kind of powder, the oinpu-iitiou of which is a secret known ��������� nily to the German government. Th. ���������splinters from shells burst by this powdei anil 1'iiv.l by the gi.n cover a circle of COC -.-et. This is a great improvement ou the :i'.nitc-d area of ground that was covered bj ���������philters from shells fired by the artillen .ve.-ipon of twenty years ago. Then it was considered ell'ective shooting if splinters from a shell were thrown within a circuit of forty ot- lifty paoes and seven or eight men wounded; but the new gun has a far greater destructive power than this. Another shell fired at an enormous target, constructed by the emperor's orders, covered it with thousinrls of holes. The new German field gun might, per haps be better described as an enlarged rifle, for that is what it really is. The ammunition, like rille cartridges, consists of one piece only. Ignition is produced by a ready fuse, and tho four kinds of pro' jectiles at present in use, i.e., shell, explosive shell, sbi-apnol, and grapeshot, give place to a uniform projectile, an explosive shell, possessing the combined characteristics of shell and shrapnel. Thus the possibility of a gunner mistaking in the heat of battle ono project Ho for another will be averted, while tho loading, aiming and firing, besides being (piiclcor���������for the now arm is loaded and fired in ono-third of the time requiied in working tbe old gun, and tho effect and precision are almost double���������will bo surer and unattended with danger. The barrel of the newtfjn Ib made of cast steel, with a caliber o'f eight contimeters, and tho total weight of the gun, limber and carriage is slightly less than that of the old artiilcry weapon. Heing lighter, the mobility of tho new gun will, of course, bo consider ably increased. The limber and gun car rlogo are mado of iron and iron plates. Tho limber box is open bohind near the gun when in action. The advantage of this innovation is tlmt tho projectiles can bo served out from tho limber and ammunition wagon with greater rapidity. Another important foaturo iu tbat tho carriage is supplied with a brake, ��������� whicr counteracts tho recoil, the process of loud ing and tiring being thus simplified.
