PROSPECTIVE SKETCH+

We overheard a lady talk
ing to one of our leading sales
men yesterday. She said:
Il shall want a nice silk
dress before very long, and |
am coming to you to pick it
out for me, as you did two
years ago, | work hard for all
that have, and | can not af-
ford to spend my money for
poor goods. So | come here
because | am SIRE TO get the
right thing, and that you will
give me the best thing you can
for the money can give you"
We want to thank the lady
here and now for this express
sion of her confidence, which
adds one more to the thou
sands of others,
Confidence, by the way, is
not gotten by self-assertion.
Confidence is a mighty SEN
sitive plant. 1t is a modest
one, withal, and don't like its
virtues paraded daily.
If one has that blessed Gift
the world soon knows all about
it. If one has it not, but as
sumes it, much talk and noise
follows as a very natural result.

IA few years ago the flagship Of the
European squadron put into Malta for
repairs. The Mediterranean Is q de-
lightful sea In ordinary weather. the
cities are attractive. their authorities
are hospitable. and ships on that Sta
ton stand in need Of good deal Of

rs agreeable as usual this time. Half
dozen Of our men deserted. They
were seen on tho streets, their hiding
places ascertained. and the Admiral
wrote polite request to the Governor
that they DO arrested and returned to
the ship. In due time reply was re-
ceived. The Governor regretted that
his Interpretation OF treaties and inter-
national law would not justify him in
making the arrests. He found no men,
ton in the treaties between Great
Britain and the United States Of any
return Of deserters from the public
service Of either. and therefore was
unable to lend any assistance to the re-
capture of the men. nor to arrest, nor
consent to their arrest in Malta We
sailed in huff. No sooner had we
got into blue water than commo-
ton was observed in the forecastlc.
This commotion extended to the
quarterback, when eight British
soldiers in undress uniform marched
aft. making their way through the
staring crew, halted before tho officer

ton in the regular Tommy Atkins style.
The astonished officer asked who they
were and what they wanted. With tho
utmost coolness the leader replied:
"'Deserters, II you please, sir; from
Malta, sir; want to 60 to the States, sir,
to settle there"
".Do you know that we do not enlist
deserters?'
Yes. sir; but we heard that there
was mo treaty provision for the return
Of deserters from the public service Of

This was an exact quotation from
the Governors letter, and an audible
smile ran round the group Of officers

4 WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach
are various, and statistics show con-
clusively that more persons die
from diseases Of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. It is prob
able that everyone, without excep-
ton, receives vast numbers of Tu-
bercle Germs into the system and
where these germs fall upon suita
Bile soil they start into life and de-
velop, at first slowly and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the
/ throat and if allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the
lungs, producing Consumption and
to the head, causing Catarrh. Now
all this is dangerous and if allowed
to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset you must act with
promptness allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as
you feel that something is wrong
with your Throat, Lungs or Nos
trils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup. 1t will give you
immediate relief.
