A DREADFUL SECRET 7

Is a secret which one is afraid to
think of even when alone. 1t is
tie kind of secret that makes man
shudder and wish it had never
happened. Wishing don't count
nowadays. Perhaps wishing never
did count. You must act. You
must get rid of your skeleton. You
must be boys no longer. You must
be real man. Now, to return to
:rue manhood is no easy project.
1t requires will to make up your
mind. Then you have to select
the right cure, the best cure, the
cure thatwiIl keep you cured-and
that's no easy task. Every butcher
who fails in butchering takes to
pulling. Every painter who fails
to paint signs for others paints a
doctor sign for himself and buys
big black hat. He needs the hat
as bad as the sign. 1t is pity,
too. But, to return, you want
your manhood again. Now, here
are 0,000 reasons in single reason
why you should be cured by the

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Canadian Secretary of State Explains

ottawa, August i-R W. Scott. secre-
tary of state was interviewed regard
ing the statement from Washington
claiming that Great Britain on the off,
cal maps had drawn the boundary line
on the Pacific coast so as to deprive
the United States OF hundreds OF miles
OF territory adjoining the Klondyke gold
fields. He said he had gone into the
question with a member of the Macken-
zie administration in ISIS and the point
now raised was discussed then.
The treaty Of ST Petersburg Of lS2S. ,"

sian territory. now Alaska, from British
by "a line drawn north from the foot OF
Prince OF Wales island through Portland
channel until 1t struck the mountains.
when the method of delimitation was set
forth. The map will show that a line
running north from the foot OF Prince
Of Wales island must go through the
Benin canal, and that to reach Port
land canal the line would have to so
east through the open sea considerable
distance before it could reach Portland
channel or canal The British contention.
as shown by the dispatches Of George
Canning to Sir Charles Blgot when
British ambassador to ST. Petersburg. IS
that Portland was to be in British ter
ritory, and that the words Portland
canal in the convention was mistake
for Behm, or else what Is now called
Portland canal was not then so called
This is supported by the physical i'm
possibility of running line due north
through Portland canal from the foot of
Prince of Wales island, so that Canadian
maps show the boundary line as running
north through the Behm canal The diff
ference is great in view of the discoveries
of gold, and it can only be settled by
an International arbitration. The dis
puted territory, with the ten marine
leagues back from the last added could
not. however, embrace the present gold
fields of the Klondyke. which are clearly
in British territory. because they are
well east 70 the Hist meridian, which Is
