a Woodward avenue car suddenly remarked that
it was an awful snow storm, and that he never
saw so much snow on the ground before.
"Pooh exclaimed little whiffet of n man in the

have seen forty-seven feet of snow on the ground
at once!"
"Buricd the town. didn't q" queried the man
opposite.
"Of course it buried the town, but that was all
right. We dug out the snow and left a crust, as a
sort of sky, and in three days we had summer
weather down there. Roses blOOmed, peach trees
blossomed, and the boys went in swimming, the
same as in July Don't talk to me about such
storms as this"

were revealed by the flashes from their
pistols. On examining the track it
was found that the fish bars connecting
the rail on both sides of the track had
been unjointed and the ends of the
rails moved so that the train would run
down the embankment. There is no
doubt that a diabolical scheme had
been planned to run the whole train
down the bank and rob the express and

Theodore Tilton, the famous orator,
Of Brooklyn, New York, will deliver
his version of the PROBLEM of Life,n
at McDaniels' theatre, on Thursday
evening next. The San Francisco
Chronicle speaks of him, critically, as
follows:
The lecturer said that the PROBLEM
Of Life" resolved itself into this, and
this alone; the development of a mans
character. But he insisted that there
is as great distinction between a mans
character and his reputation as there is
between the East and West. He says
the modern American world has two
systems of morality, one for men and
men are considered venial, the venial
sins of women are made mortal. A
better state of affairs shall be when
men shall be required to be as pure
even in conversation as women. He
recommends a higher literary ideal of
heroism for the rising generation than
that now afforded it.
On the whole, after reading this, one
of the many criticisms from the press
the country over, we are favorably i'm.
pressed, as the Chronicle critic under.

confines himself to as well, and we

Is Your Life Worth 10 Cents?

every body complains of some disease
during their life. When sick, the OBJ
ject is to get well; now to say plainly
that no person in this world that is suf-
fering with dyspepsia, liver complaint
and its effects, such as indigestion, cos
tiveness, sick headache, sour stomach,
heartburn, palpitation of the heart, de
pressed spirits, billiousness, etc., can
take Green's August Flower with
out getting relief and cure.
If you doubt this, go to your druggists,

bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regu-
lar size for IS cents. milf

Sickness in the Turkish Army.

London, June A dispatch from
Orealuk to the Times says that II Christ
ian doctor, who deserted from Trebiuje,
gives n gloomy account of the condition
of the army. Two thousand and four
men have died at Trebinje since the
campaign began, that city being the
hospital depot of the army now concen-
trated at G%atschko, which consists of
36 battalions of 300 to 400 each. OF
these at least half were suffering chiefly
from scurvy. There is also much dys-
EMERY. Physicians and surgeons are
subject to the fanatical outbreaks of
Musselmans and are continually men,
aced and insulted and never paid.
Three thousand men are sick, and de-
serters from PodZenatza report the
same condition of affairs prevailing
there. Troops are under fed, having
nothing beyond the barest means of
sustaining life, and they are compelled
to work continually on earth works.
The health of the Montenegro force is
excellent; the hospitals are quite
empty.

Duke loved to meet the war generals
of 1915, on the 18th Of June every year,
and celebrate the anniversary of the
great battle which forever closed the

The Prince Of Wales gave "a private
audience to the ex-President to-day, at
the Marlborough House, introducing
him to his household in the most
friendly manner, and sat with him
quite a long time in ordinary, pleasant
conversation.
The Queen has given orders to the
Lord Chamberlain to waive the usual
presentation ceremonies, out of regard
to the nations guest, and extend to
and Mrs. Grant invitations to all
court entertainments. This is almost
unprecedented, and shows the great
esteem in which he is held in England.
