Came with a Boom.

1T was more than twenty years ago
that 1 decided the thing was ready to be
put on the market" said the inventor of
compound that has now passed out Of
the category of patent medicines and be-
come well introduced, according to the San
Francisco Chronicle. The question that
bothered me was how to get the stuff be-
fore the people and make them personally
acquainted with its qualities, so that
might find out whether or not my own
faith and confidence in the article was
justified. But how was l to get II into
the peoples hands? That was the ques-
ton had to answer. 1 went to the whole
sale druggists, and they said it would be
useless to put it on their Shelves as no.
body would buy it. l sent it to doctors,
but that did very little toward getting the
article into the hands of the people
gave 1t away at fairs, and the result was
that a small portion of the people there
got nearly all of the stuff, while the others
went without any. Plainly, that would
not do. But 1 didn't know yet what l
would do.
After a while is occurred to me that
would start a man in a buggy driving in
a certain direction. He was to distribute
the stuff to everybody he met on the
road, and in that way the stuff would
finally get into the hands of the people.
was going to have relays enough to
stretch line from the west, to come
east, through the territory the other man
could not reach. l was going to send the
stuff on ahead, so that at different points
on the road the man would be supplied
with enough to give away.
THE fellow started on his long trip, and
distributed thousands of packages of the
stuff. Other men started in different di-
rectlons, and there were only few thinly
populated and remote corners Of the coun-
try that could not have some personal ex-
perlence of my invention. The men fin
1shed their trips, and l waited. But no
response came The people whom 1 had
expected to answer with cry for what l
had given them, remained mute. year
passed and every cent of available capital
rad gone into the scheme Thousands of
dollars had gone, and evidently no more
had been done toward creating a demand
than if the stuff had been locked in a
closet and left there. 1 strained hard, but
L never could hear the voice of the public
calling for my invention. The months
were miserable with suspense and de-
spair until, suddenly the public, so to
speak metaphorically, roared at me. The
rush had started in a way I could never
understand.

The scientific development OF the kite
for practical uses Is bringing out some in
teresting experiments the success OF
which promises TO make Il feature In
signaling and securing important observa-
tons. Following Lamson's ascent on "a
kite to a hight Of 100 feet. army officers
and kite experts are now conducting a
series Of experiments with a view to per

variously colored lights on kites az a hight

Some idea OF what II costs Great Britain
to keep up some Of les colonies may be
had from the report on Bermuda. Bermu-
da contains only about 1000 acres. and
but one-quarter OF this Is under cultlva-
ton II h used principally as coaling
and naval station. IL has public debt
OF N30.0o0. It's revenue was In 1896 but
$4,000 and tho expenses exceeded this by
several thousand dollars. This was not
counting the naval appropriation. amount
Ing 20 10000. This Is paying pretty dear
for the honor OF ruling the wave. and
yet there are plenty Of jinFoes In this
country who would like to see the United
states going In for this policy and paving
out millions every year 10 maintain Jim
crow stations In the Pacific and elsewhere
with less excuse than Great Britain has

A wOnderfuI surgical operation.

Il suppose performed the greatest sur
gical operation Of the age" remarked the

Gle when l was asked to attend n young
Indian whose stomach had been pierced

Mr.. Lester, the principal owner of the
White Bluff shell road, says he has failed
to receive from the county commissioners
any response to his offer to sell the road
TO the county. He says however, that
he had a talk with the chairman of the
board Of county commissioners. during
the course of which the chairman was
asked If he would not get the commits
sioners to purchase the road His reply
was that the county would not buy the
White Bluff she'll road at any price.
The Morning News understands from
Mr.. Lester that, recognizing the fact that
his road is being seriously injured. he is
willing to sell the property TO the county
for 5000. When IL is understood that the
purchase OF the road by the county would
open to the people seven or eight miles OF
well-built, hard roadway. which can be
put into splendid condition for a very
small outlay, and that by its purchase a
thriving community OF progressive farm
ers would be at once released from pay-
ing tolls, Il will become a matter OF sur
prise that an intelligent body OF mon like
the county commissioners should permit
personal feelings to interfere with the
public Interest IN considering the mat
ter Il should be borne in mind that there
Is a law providing for the purchase OF
the two toll roads in the county, and that
the grand jury has recommended that
both the White Blum and Thunderbolt
shell roads be purchased by the county
and made free roads.

It is now alleged that Toru Hosm is
not a first class diplomat because he fail

all those bank presidents have failed to

would seem to indicate a fallacy in that

only things that are certain.

Britain's style of Annexation.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger Nndl

There will be no trouble about Britain's
annexation OF the Solomon Islands. An
nexation In that country does not mean
the same that II does IN this one. The
Solomon Islanders VIII not become. IN any
sense, rulers OF Great Britain They will
not be admitted to citizenship, with a
chance to cast the deciding vote In a close
election. They will be tributaries. govern
ed by an English official. In whose APP
pointment they will have no voice. and
their chief privilege under the empire. on
which the sun never sets, will be TO con-
tribute their share OF the taxes. There is
nothing dangerous TO Great Britain In the
British style OF annexation.
