The Partition of Africa.

"To the arrangement with Germany is
now added an arrangement with France,
as to the respective spheres of influence
Of that country and ourselves in Africa"
says the London World. According to
some critics on the other side of the
channel the bargain is altogether to our
advantage. 1t is the triumph of British
rapacity According to censors at home
Lord Salisbury has been outwitted by
M. Ribot and M. Waddington. France
obtains the protectorate of Madagascar
as the equivalent of our protectorate
over Zanzibar. In Western Africa a
line is drawn from Say on the Niger to
Lake Tchad, giving us the Houssa king
portions of the Soudan, occupied by the
most intelligent and industrious race,
while France obtains an uninterrupted
tract of territory from Algeria to the
Senegal On both sides just exception
doubtless may be taken to par
ticular points of the arrangement.
But, as with the Anglo-German agree
ment, it's great merit is that it leaves
to each nation a large region in which
it will have ample verge and room
enough to work and spread without col
lision with the other. The time of APP
proach and conflict will doubtless ar
rive, and the victory will be to those
who have done the best with their OPP
portunities, to the most capable and en-
ergetic We may rely with modest
confidence on the qualities which CEN
fury and half ago decided that India
and North America should be English
and not French. The dispute whether
Swaziland shall belong to the Transvaal,
as the Beers insisted, or to England, as
the Swazis themselves wished, has been
decided by putting it off. For three
wears the Swazis are to belong to them
selves. with Joint government. British
and Dutch, over the white residents.
In the event of the Transvaal joining
the South African customs union this
arrangement will be permanent. In
the meantime the Transvaal obtains It's
long-coveted access to the sea by the
concession of a railway across Swat
land to the port of Kosi, by which it be-
comes independent of the Delagoa Bay
route. There are little outlying diff
culties with Portugal. Otherwise, the
group of arrangements which we have
described removes Africa from the re-
Dion of political controversy.

Arousing the Drunk.

The best way to arouse drunken
man is to pinch him under the arm,
says a police officer in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. | found drunken
fellow lying across the track at Tenth
and Morgan streets late one night, and
it seemed impossible to arouse him. |
clubed him over the soles Of his feet and
rolled and shook him, but he lay as
limp as rag. Just then an old gentle
man came along, and suggested that l
pinch him under the arms.
The effect Mas electrical. [ had him
awake and fighting mad at once. On
another occasion Sergt. Pierce tried
the same experiment on sot at the
Fourth District station. The man
stood it for awhile, and then suddenly
opened his eyes and dealt the Sergeant
a blow that would have felled an OK.
The treatment is dead sure thing;
tetches them every time.

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get bottle and try
it-try a second a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy

A TRAGEDY.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

A soft breasted bird from the sea
Fell in love with the light house flame;
And 1t wheeled round the tower on its airiest
wing
ana hoated and cried like love-lorn thing;
1t brooded all day and it fiuttered all night
But could win no love from the steadfast Zig hit.
For the flame had it's heart affair."
Affair with the ships at sea;
1t was thinking of children and waiting wives
And darkness and danger to sailors lives;
But the bird had its tender bosom pressed
On the glass where at length it dashed its
breast.
The light only tlickered, the brighter to
glow,
But the bird lay dead on the rocks below.

A Reprleve for the Condemned.

Wretched men and women long condemned
to suffer the fortunes of dysp psia, are filled
with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters This budding hope blossoms
into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is
persisted in. 1t brings reprieve to all dys-
peptics who seek its aid. Flatulence, heart
burn, sinking at the pit Of the stomach between
meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia
of which chronic indigestion is the parent, dis
appear with their hateful progenitor. Most
benehcent of stomachics! who can wonder that
in so many instances it awakens grateful elo-
quence in those who, benefited by 1t, speak
voluntarily in its behalf. 1t requires graphic
pen to describe the torrents of dyspepsia, but
in many of the testimonials received by the
proprietors of the Biters, these are portrayed
with vivid truthfulneSs. Constipation. bilious
ness muscular debility, malarial fevers and
rheumatism are relieved by it.

have just beheld the sacred ediiice

in which are stored the products Of

The ADVOCATES ears have heard the
whole story OF the fostering care, the
blessed paternalism which our great
republic extends TO It's faithful sub
jects
Just here some Of our good alliance
brothers and sisters will rub their
eyes, which have wondringly read
thus FAR, and ask, what lunatic has

No lunatic at all, good friends. The

fully considered statements are being
put before you.

It depends on whether they care more
for independence, for themselves,
their homes, their farms, their wives

their political party bosses who have

For some time we have been in

parallelism between the government

which the distillers and liquor deal
ers of America have been fattening
for nearly twenty years, and the
warehouse system which the farmers
of America are struggling against
such fearful odds to obtain.

is necessary to get close to it, hence
