Brother Yoakum announced that with
five other brothers he would retire before

times he has il badly.
There was a Cooperative store in
Western town, in which the druggist. the
hardware man, the groceryman, the shoe
merchant, the drygoods salesman, and
the tin psddler al worked harmonIousIy;
for when they were ali put together they
only made one person, and he was har-

ments Of his store were well patronized
except the druggists department. The
hardy settlers OF the frontier had been
away froA doctors and diseases SO long
that they had forgotten how TO take medi-
cine. Now and then there was an accident.
but as even a drug store cannot raise
tie dead to life, medicine was of no use
there. After awhile, however, the people
OF the town began to feel qua Inns of con.
science. One OF the leading citizens said
that that drug store reminded him Of home,
and he thought theyoughtto take a. dvantage
Of it. Civilization had come knocking at
their doors, and it was their duty 10 take
her in.
So one Of the citizens called at the drug
store TO get calomel for his liver. His liver

Developments in the arbitration negotia-

that the little republic, soon to become
part of the United States, cannot afford
TO take any chances. The reply OF the
Japanese foreign office TO the proposi-

dence that the Mikado, if he had his way,

SOY eTeignty with other minor ones. With
