The Result of Merit.
When anything stands a test of fifty
years among a discriminating people
like the Americans, it is pretty good evil
dence that there is merit somewhere.
The value of a medicine is best proved
by it's continued use from year to year
by the same persons and families, as
we'll as by a steady increasing sale
Few, if any, medicines have met with
such continued success and popularity
as has marked the introduction and pro
gress of Brandreth's Pills, which, after
trial Of over fifty years, are conceded te
be the safest and most effective purga
tive and blood purifier introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, anc
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform
all that is claimed for them, is conclu.
sively proved by the fact that those who
regard them with the greatest favor, art
those who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either PLAIN o,

THE JOKE AT THE COLLEGE.
Three Participants Tell Of Certain Incorrect
Parts of the Report.

To tho Editor OF the Dispatch.
There has been a great deal Of talk IN
regard TO an article that appeared in one
of the Richmond papers last Tuesday
about q joke played on some students at
Richmond college. The account was ex-
aegerated. and in some respects was en-
tirely erroneous. We desire to give. as
far as possible a correct statement. There
IS a turnip-patch situated about n mile
from town on the Broad-street road,
which was picked out as a suitable place
for playing the joke. Messrs. Lloyd. Win
Ston Merkle. and Lumsford were conceal
cd behind an old deserted house in the
midst of the luscious patch of turnips,
while Mcssrs DickeTsOn, French, Lewis,
Long. Haynes. and Cosby Ohe last two
gentlemen beirg picked out as suitable
victims for the joke were to rob the
patch.
About O'Clock. after everything had
gotten quiet, and the sable goddess OF night
had mantled the earth the aforesaid gen
tlcmen started in pursuit OF the desired
fruit. but in the meantime one OF the
party who had been admitted into the
confidence OF the jokcrs, betrayed the plot
10 his friend. Mr. Cosby. who painted his
shirt with red ink and perforated the
bosom The invaders proceeded carefully,
and lust after entering the patch, the
bows. who had been concealed. opened
ire with gurs and pistols loaded with
blank shells The invaders scdmpered on
at a high rate OF speed. but on investiga-
tion found that Mr. Cosby had fallen.
Some went back thinking probably In his
terrified flight he had been prccipitated
into a ditch. but on close examination
blood-like stains appeared on the immacu-
late bosom OF his shirt. and the starch
and Inen had been pierced, apparently
bv leaden balls. ON the impulse OF the
moment il was thought by some that
probably q loaded shell had been put into
the gun through mistake. and two of the
bows started of TO town for physician.
but in Il very few minutes the actions OF
Nr Ccsby showed clearly that they were
not these OF an injured man. but OF one
feiering. The boys who went for the doc
tor were too far gone then 10 be stopped

THE PRIVILEGES OF MONACO.
The Prince VIII Not Kill the Goose That
Lays the Golden Egg.

The report current some time ago that
the Prince of Monaco intended to resign
as head of the greatest gambling State
In the world, and devote himself TO the
pursuit of science, his favorite pastime,
has apparently proved 10 be unfounded.
He earns his money too easily In his pres
ent place, and evidently has little inten-
tion either Of giving IT up or OF driving
the heads of the gambling society from
his dominions.
Monaco" says the Staatsbuerger-Zei-
tung. has 1000 inhabitants. In 1914 Tai
leyrand wrote in the diplomatic act which
was TO regulate the conditions of all Eu-
rope: And the Prince OF Monaco returns
10 his states In 1915 It was further de-
cided that the existing relations between
France and Monaco should cease, and
that thenceforth the King OF SARDINIA was
to play the part in the principallty for
merly played by the House OF Bourbon.
Then, In 1860. Monaco exchanged the Ital-
ian protectorate for the French protec-
torate. and maintained its privilege-de-
spite the protests OF the public press and
the powers-of giving an asylum to pro-
fessional gamblers and sperdthrifts IN its
gambling hels. because France did not
wish 10 interfere In the internal affairs
of Monaco
An IDEA or what colassal sums or
money are lost In Monaco can be gathered
from the~ last report OF the 'Societe

Les Etrangers.' the gambling society. The
gains last year amounted to more than
100000 francs. The capitil of the COM

deserve fund will amount to az much
