A TERRIBLE OPERATION.

Que of the most painful and danger
Gus operations known to surgery is
that resOrted to for the removal of can
Ger or tumor; these diseases are becom-
ing more and more prevalent every
year and hospitals are called upon to
receive increasing Plumbers OF these
who must submit to the operation for
the removal of cancer. Medical science
has never been able to fur ish a REM
edy for these diseases, hut it seems that
true remedy has been found in Ypsi-
lanti Specific, natural mineral water.
For fourteen years this water has been
thoroughly tested in hundreds of cases,
and no case has ever been found where
there was any b 'pe of life left that this
water wouli not cure. The YPSILANTI
SPECIFIC Co. of l04 BROAD ST., Bos-
TON, will furnish evidence of these
facts to anyone desiring it. For sale at

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is q medicine suited any
season, but perhaps more generally needed
when the languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
r mpt use of this medicine has often ave1ted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. Nc
medicine will act more surely in counter
acting and freeing the system from the ma
larial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con.

Fiction Stranger Than Truth.

There is now living at Plymouth An old
man, named william Lawson, who has
had a remarkable career Mention Is made
of the fact that he is the father Of the Cap
tain Lawson who wrote very successful
book, some years ago published by Chap
man Il Hall, entitled Wanderings In New
Guinea" This book had remarkable
history.
1t was really skit on Stanley's "Trav-
els In Africa" the secondary idea Of the
anthor being that 1t would serve as an in
teresting book Of adventure for boyA
There was hardly q spot in tho civilized
world from which Captain Lawson did not
receive congratulations upon his work.
People took it quite seriously. Among 9th
ers Professor Goldsmith Of Berlin wrote
for extracts. DIR. Ferrara who accompanied
the Prince Of Wales in India, asked to be
allowed TO use an extract from II. contain
ing an account OF a tiger fight, for publ
cation In one of his own books. Sir John
Lubbock who was at the head of the Royal
society ut the time, wrote to him and ask
ed him to go to London and give a lecture
on his travels. None Of these eminent peo-
pie was aware that what Captain Lawson
had written was, in fact, a very fine work
Of fiction, and that he knew no more from
personal experience about New Guinea
than they did themselves. Western Week

TO pieces, and the opposition to the
Jeffersonian theory and practice became
chaotic-because Burr's pistol did not
miss.
1t were not extravagant TO say that
with Alexander Hamilton in the presi-
dency from the year 1909 TO the year
1917 the civil war would never have
been. 1t appears that events would have
taken another course Monroe, in that
event, might have been possibility,
but not jackson. The sword, in that
event, might still have hung by the con-
stitution III the executive mansion, but
not the bowie knife In that event, John
Quincy Adams might have been, or even
Van Buren,, but not Polk and much less
Buchanan In that event, Democracy
could hardly have been so welded to
slavery as to suggest the dissolution Of
the Union III order that one-baf might
be built forever on human servitude. In
that event, Federalism must have be-
come imbued with the principles Of free
dom to the degree that the abolition of
slavery throughout the British empire
would not have preceded the like hu-
manity in the American republic by the
full space Of lifetime.
AS it was, the civil war must come.
The nation must suffer a tempest Of fire
and a deluge Of blood. Burr's weapon
did not miss, and the civil war began
with the pistol shot at Weehawken! l
stood at sunrise on the July morning
and heard it again as in 1904. The first
gun was not fired from the shore at
Charleston against the side Of Sumter,
but was leveled by the relentless, steady
and dastardly hand of Aaron Burr
against the breast of the greatest Amer
ican Of his age-him whom the jealous
John Adams once stignatized as that
brat Of Scotch peddIer -

DUBUs' DRIVE.
The Famous Escape of Gambetta
After His Voyage in a Balloon.

After His Voyage in Balloon.
From the New York Sun.
NJ. Dubus, who was Marie of Epeneuse,
Disc, in 1870, has just died at Clermont,
aged u. Who was Dubus? Outside of our
small and respected French colony here,
we may safely say that few of US know.
And yet his name is bound to be recorded
in history and to remain there until the
records of the Terrible Year" are lost and
forgotten. He was the man who saved
Gambetta from falling into the hands of
the Prussians during the Franco-German
war.
The story is simple enough. but its very
simplicity serves to teach sound citizens
of every country the priceiesG Value os
patriotism. On the Sth Of November,
1870, taking advantage of q favorable
wind, Gambetta, accompanied by Spu.ler,
left Paris in balloon, intending to reach
Tours. After sailing in. the air at com
paratively slow rate the balloon drifted
toward the north. The Prussians noticed
it, gave chase, and fired at it furiousy.
1t was hit several times, but the holes
made in it by the bullets caused only a
slight escape of gas. After some little
time, however, the leaks began to tell
and the balloon began to descend slowly
The famous travellers distinctly heard
the hoarSe cheers of the enemy who i'm
agined that their long chase was coming
to an end, and that they were about TO
congratulate themselves on their caDture
But just then all the remaining sand
bags, together with everything that could
be dispensed with in the car, were thrown
out, and once more the air ship pointed
toward the clouds.
The fusilade became more furious but
the bullets were harmless. A slight in
crease in the wind also favored the fugl-
tives. The enemy was left behind. but
he was still in hot pursuit The balloon.
becoming weaker and weaker in buov-
ancy, at last began to descend gradually.
1t landed in the woods of Favjeres
eleven kilometers from Clermont The
Prussians were coming on rapidly The
Marie of Clermont, NJ. Dubus, who watch
ed the balloon and saw the danger of the
fugitives, hitched UP his two strongest
and fast horses to a light wagon, and a
few moments after their landing he was
driving them at fun speed on the road
to Montdidier. In that drive ne beat the
record and brought Gambetta and Spuller
int0s the little town in safety OF course
the Prussians found the balloon. but no
trace of the men who were In the car
Such is the simple story of Dubus'
drive, for which he received the cross Of
the Legion of Honor and an appointnent
to a judgeship in the Canton of Mouy.
Four years ago monument was erected
to Gambetta near the spot where his bal
loon descended, and the tree in which the
air ship got fastened was named Cam
