Sir Walter Besant, the eminent Eng

such affection and respect for national
emblem. and that a nation which as |"
whole felt as we seemed to feel about
our colors from the time we left our
mothers knees, was one that could

Mccullough did not carry the actor
into everyday life, as Forrest did. For
rest was always "the great tragedian,"
and after his divorce generally moody
and silent, but when he spoke it was in
deep, tragic tones and with shakings Of
his black, curly locks that impressed
the listener with unbounded awe.
No one, think, ever dared to joke or
be familiar with the great Forrest.
When "alimony day" came around and
he had to pay good round sum to his
divorced wife, it was better to keep
away from him, for then he allowed his
temper aud "ugliness" to have full
sway.
Nowhere in American dramatic his
tory does an actor stand out with the
prominence of Forrest. His Individual
ity was so pronounced that no one who
once met him could ever obliterate that
meeting from his memory. Forrest is
also part of history, for there are

SNAKE SWALLOW SNAKE.

Kansas City, No, Jan. 29.-FOr near
ly a year a large per centage of the
people of Kansas City have been pay
ing but fifty cents a thousand for H.
Illuminating gas. Previously the Kan
sas City company, n branch of which
is now known as the Philadelphia
Gas Trust, had enjoyed a monopoly
of the field and had exacted SLIGO a
thousand. Then local capitalists form
ed the Missouri Gas company, built
a plant and started to furnish gas at
81. Immediately the trust put its
price down to 80 cetns, did away with
all charges for metres and even fur
nished cooking stoves to all who
would use its gas. The result was a
tremendous increase in its business,
and the new rival company could get
but comparatively small patronage.
An application has been made to the
city council for a charter under which
the two corporations may be CONSOLE
dated, the trust to absorb the weaker
company. 1t is proposed, however, to
limit the charge for gas to 81 n thou
sand, which is the price fixed by a
recent city ordinance. The council
deferred action on the application.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor TIC
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less SuS-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overfiows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
Bile to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them 70 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
uuUOFu MISERY. AS Lue remedy ID
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in reStor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy ut
once. A request to II. g. Olds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
1t trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
coyery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he NAV
know how you came to write him.

Replying to the Paris Gaulois' attack

France in the Egyptian question and

One thing is certain: 1t will not do
to fool with bad cold. No one can
tell what the end will be. Pneumo-

that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what a expense they may be
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is always prompt and effectual, and

trifie as compared with the disastrous
