the French in Possession.
Gen. Kitchener found the French nj
Fashoda. He notified Major Marchand
that he had express instructions that the
territory was British and that the French
must retire. and offered them passage to
Cairo. Major Marchand absolutely de.
clined to retire unless ordered to do SO BY
his Governments. No fighting occurred.
Major Marchand was given clearly to un.
derstand that the British insisted upon
their claims, and the rest has been left tc
be settled by diplomacy between the re.
spective Governments. Gen. Kitchener
sent a long official dispatch to London,
hoisted the union jack and the Egyptian
ensign, and left as a garrison the Elcv.
enth and Thirteenth Sudanese battalions
and the Cameron Highlanders to protect
the British flag.

SHE REMOVED HER BONNET.

ciated the HumOr.

1t was during one of the most severe snow
storms which Chicago has experienced this
winter, and the umbrella which little bit
of woman was carrying in front of her
face, standard bearer fashion, came into
clinging contact with the smart bonnet
which was balanced on the head of the
comely Irishwoman who was making her
way, burdened with a heavy valise, in the
opposite direction.

might have been posted upon her, so unmis-
takably did she belong to this class of WIS.,
itors; second glance betrayed the fact that
she was undoubtedly crossing the city from
one depot to another.
When the umbrella caught in her bonnet,
which was anchored to position by its velvet
strings alone, the bonnet was worsted in
the struggle. The little woman sailed on
VIGOROUSLY, hardly stopping for the con-
ventional word of apology, and the out-of-
town woman was left lamenting, her bonnet
hanging around her neck by the strings and
the thicllly falling snow powdering her
glossy black hair. But not for long did she
lament.
"Sure," she said, merrily, as she lowered
her great satchel to convenient doorstep
and prepared to right her iIl-treated head
gear again, "Oi've been hearing for some
tonne that they made Their women take off

Every woman cannot be beautiful, but a
cheerful face often supplies the deficiency.
But no one can be cheerful and bring joy to
others unless they have perfect health. For
tunately, science has placed this priceless
boon within the reach of every woman as
the following incident proves:
Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of William
Robinson, farmer and stockman, near
TOWNSVILLE, Clay, County, Ind. is thirty
two years old and had for several years been
in declining health and respondent. For
three months she was not only unable to
attend to her domestic duties, but too feeble
to be up and about. To-day she is in good
health and able to attend to her household
affairs. She relates her experience as fol-

pressed. After taking various remedies

An Old Feud Breaks Out.

Monday and resulted in Mr.. Stadleman
receiving severe Gaming at the hands
of Mr.. Ludwig. His head was cut in
several places. 1t seems that the
trouble between these two well-known
citizens is of long standing. Mr.. Lud-
wig says that Mr.. Stadleman has in
suited himself and family for years,
and only few days ago insulted Mrs.
Ludwig when they met on the street.
Mr.. Ludwig told Mr.. Stadleman that
these doing would have to stop. Mr..
Stadleman retorted by using an OPP
probrious epithet and Mr.. Ludwig
used his cane. Mr.. Stadleman states
that it was Mr.. Ludwig who used the
language which provoked the assault.

gress is the brain of the nation The people
are the blood of the nation. Good blood
makes good brain. Good brain makes sue
