BEER-DRINKING JUNKET
Party of Germans to Tour the Country
Quaffing the Amber Fluid

No one but German ever would have
originated the idea of such a pilgrimage
as is about to be undertaken by band
of beer drinkers of Berlin. 1t will GER
tainly be the most novel kind of pilgrim
age ever organized. Under the patronage
Of st. Gambrinus these pious votaries
will set forth this month to visit all the
brewing centers of Germany, from
Munich to Pilsen. 1t is proposed in the
space of one short week to halt at
Nuremberg, Dresden, Leipsig, Culm-
bach and as many more towns as pos
sible on the way where the cult of malt
and hops fiourishes in all it's pride. The
work of the pilgrims is therefore cut
out for them, and though there will be
many mighty ''bier koenigs" among
them, not few may be expected to fall
by the wayside. This indeed, is the
principal fear which haunts the minds
of the promoters of this unique pilgrim
age--that the zeal of their followers
may over-master their prudence. For
this reason there has been appended a
program, which has already appeared,
a warming in type bigger and blacker
than the rest, to the effect that the eyes
of the empire will be upon them, and that
1t is hoped they will bear themselves in
a manner worthy of citizens who hail
from the imperial capital.
1t is said that these novel pilgrims will
have the blessing and sanction of Prince
Bismarck himself, and there are deep
regrets that old age and failing health
will prevent him from heading the pro-
cession as he certainly would have loved
to do in the days Of his prime.

DEATH OF A CUBAN PATRIOT.

The bugle sounds-the muffied drum the
dead march sadly rolls
The priests and acolytes now chant the
prayers for parting souls
The fortress of the tyrant opes its gates of
crime and gore
And through its portals dark and drear
march forth a soldier corps
Four hundred men. the death drums roll
the dead march once again
One patriot more to sacrifice-more blood
for ruthless Spain.
The tropic sun is shining clear-brght 1.
the Cuban sky
The beams of Heaven to gild the earth
where Cuban patriots die,
A gala day-a carnival of crime in gay Ha-
vana-
day of gore-a rebel dies in blood ac-
curs'd Cabana,
That gate of hell, "the Laurel ditch"
where martyred Cubans fall
Where cannon frown on hill and town from
every rampant wall.
The march of death--the brazen bands
the well-trained warrior slaves
Stride on with stern and sluggish steps to
dig more patriot graves.
They hat-then form in dread array mill
tary square,
Not of the brave the land to save, but for
lne laDQ S despair.
And he the noble and the true-.the fetter'd
captive comes:
'Vive Cuba!" rings above the din, above
the roll of drums
"Silence!" the tyrants urged in vain, and
proud Coona cried
"Vive Cuba Libre!' Hail to all who for
our land have died
Down, down with Spain and all her serfs,
each tyrant and each foe!
The murderer and the robber bands who
fill the land with woe!
The chains and tears of former years, the
butchery and the gore:
Now vengeance on the Spaniards drive the
murderers from our shore!
Oh. patriots of America! Oh, men of every
Cine!
How long shall Spain extend her reign of
irfamy and crime?
H3w long shall Cuba suffer the HELPER
vading ills,
Pollution DER her fertile wales, perdition
on her hills?
Where organized oppression has paralyxed
her plains,
And murder walks in sandals red among
her sugar canes.
How long shall Spanish lust and greed the
glorious island blight?
How long shall Spain for pirate gain crush
Freedom erect thy queenly form, stretch
forth thy puissant arm
Strike down the base oppressor, preserve
the lanQ from narIn-
Hurl tyranny from place and power -
with the torrents Hood
Drive despots all from throne and hall;
oerwhelm the men of blood.
Each arm that fights for Cuba-each hand
that wields a blaze
For hearth and home and liberty, in noun
tain, glen and glade
Each heart that throbs for freedom
throughout our Cuban land
Shall strike against the tyrants and drive
them from our strand.
Then hail to Cuban liberty! Colona's death
shall give
One martyr more for truth and right that
liberty may live.

sweetness whispered in his ear: you

So SERVER, afflicted with a dementia
of a mild order, lived on in the cabin,
little dreaming that Nina. who could
never induce him to come and live with
her in her new home, surrounded him
with every comfort. Nina visited him
often, but somehow he never seemed to
think she was the same to him, and Of
ten he would amuse and sometimes
make her weep with quaint and touch
ing stories Of his little girl.
She had developed into a being Of
wondrous beauty of soul, mind and per-
son, and tonight, as she stood clad in her
shimmer' lg bridal array, the promised
wife of Harry Merton, she still gave a
thought to the humble cabin home and
its true and faithful inmate. Seeing the
awed and thrilled look in her fine dark
eyes he had asked her of what sh1Sas
thinking. when she replied gently: "Of
SERVER and the pines-I think I really
have seen them tonight"
Who SERVER was no one ever knew
except what was conjectured from a
circumstance connected with his death
and burial.
On the day his body was being in
TERED in the village graveyard at
the attendants observed that there were
three mourners. Nina they all knew,
but who the dark, naughty man and the
soiled, weatherbeaten one who stood be-
hind him were they could never quite
make out, any more than to suppose that
the first was close kinsman of SERVER,
who. ashamed of his deformity and un-
settled habits of living, had cast him
off; and the other was some companion
who perhaps had at one time been with
him in his wanderings.
Since this is as correct a solution of
the identity of SERVER as I could prob
ably give. / will not dispute it or at
tempt one of my own. I will say, how
ever, that I never see one of those nui-
sances of society that / do not find my
self wondering if there was not some
where in his life a beautiful, unselfish
act. that, if known to us, would cause
US to be less severe in our Judgment of
him; but. as the quaint Mr.. Kipling has
remarked that's another story"

DR., BalIard's Improved KOch's TubercuIin
as Perfect Cure for Consumption

perfect cure for consumption must
have certain qualities; first, it must be
absolutely harmless to the patient; sec
ond, it must directly reach and destroy
the bacilli, the cause of the disease;
third, it must assist in the subsequent
elimination from the system and the
blood of the diseased tissues and fluids
and deleterious products caused by the
destruction of the germs and tissues;
fourth. it must assist in the general up
building of the system; and, fifth, it
must afford substantial aid in the repair
of the damaged tissues and organs.
All of these object are attained by the
use of DR.. Ballards improved Koch's
tuberculin, and his method of treat
ment. The preparation differs from all
other serums in that the toXines, which
are the curative principles of the tu-
berculin, are all retained. thereby af-
fording a remedy with valuable cura-
tive properties of the greatest efficiency,
and it also is combined with remedies
which render it absolutely safe and
harmless to the patient, and with still
others which assist the tuberculin in
destroying the bacilli. and in eliminat-
ing the waste and deleterious substances
thus produced in the system.
The supplemental treatment completes
the cure by aiding to build up the system
and the tissues and by applying di-
rectly to the diseased surfaces other
remedies for healing and repairing the
diseased tissues and organs.

more than eight years from pulmonary

Origin of the Use Of Koch's Tu=
berculin in Los Angeles

Dr. Ballard. after successfully using
his remedy in Chicago, came to Los An
geles for the express purpose of using
his specific and practising his speciality.
Tn to this time the practical use OF
Koch's tuberculin had been compara-
lively unknown in Los Angeles. He
opened offices in Pasadena and Los An
eeies. AMI later formed the firm of Bal
lard a. Whitman, founding the Koch
Medical Institute, and there continuing
b for several months to treat and cure con-
4 sumption During this time Dr. Ballard
has cured more cases of consumption
than all other doctors in Los Angeles
and vicinity combined, and is prepared
to furnish proofs and to show testlmon1-
ais from those cured.
The firm of Ballard & Whitman was
dissolved December 18th, and DR.. Bal
lard has opened offices in the Stimson
block where he is prepared to thorough
~ treat all diseases of the respiratory
organs, supplementing his specific treat
ment for tuberculosis with inhalations
of heated medicated air by means Of
special elaborate apparatus designed by
himself.
He has also most complete and ex-
rensive gchemical and microscopic lab
oraJ.ory enabling him to prepare his own
remedies with perfection and to make

dies of similar nature now used and rec
commended by the profession in the treat

I do not hesitate to say that all other
remedies and all other systems of treat

cant when compared with your improved

The coming concert at Elks' hall will
commence at $3.50 p. m. and will be no
table-eveut, from the fact that the whole
programme is devoted to sacred numbers
of great prominence, each number being
gem of its own school, and all embrace
ing the grand, the heroic, the somber
and the cheerful Christmas number. The
selection from Dvorak will give the audi
ence an opportunity of hearing for the
first time the writing of this very Won
derful modern composer, whose writings
are said to embrace the themes of the
old composers and also grasp the effects
of the Wagner school. There will also
be portion of Mozart's Requiem given;
the Sanctus and the Agnus Del also-the
both Psalm of Nembach, with Mrs. B.
Guckenberger in the solo contralto. The
final number will be c. Sain Saens'
Christmas Oratorio complete, with Mrs.
fl. II. Sinnige first soprano; Miss Emma
Bissett second soprano; Mrs. B. Guck
enberger, contralto; Mr. Charles Bride
well, tenor, and Rev. John Barbour,
basso. Altogether this will be a note
worthy concert and an ideal sacred one.

There are two reasons why the plan was
abandoned. In the opera the regent ap-

is never used in this manner, and as
Wang" although burlesque, endeav-
ors as far as possible to accurately rep
resent Siamese life, the incongruity
could not be permitted. Then again,

in America, genuine white elephant
