Anglo-American Friendship Il, garded
as a FOrerunner of Complications.

London, Aug. 25.-The Times Mad.iI
correspondent says:
The recent articles in the Times re-
commenting the annexation of the
Philippines by America are attracting
much attention here. TaUy are regard
ed as confirming current uumOrs about
a secret agreement bcuwccn the cab
inets of London and Washington for
joint action in the far East.
In amy case it is feared that the rap
~pluchnment which unIuHstiOnably eX-
lists contains the germs of great inter
nation complications. Three months
ago, when Spain suddenly found her
self alone face to face with Il powerful
antagonist, such a prospect would
have been hailed with delight. because
1t was believed that in a general i'm
broglio she would be sure to find allies.
Now the political situation is better
understood, and fears are expressed
that in a general coEtlict of the great
powers. whatever the result, Spain
would have to pay les pots cases
Ell Liberal publishes a significant ar
ticle in this sense. Trying to fareca,t
the immediate future. it says:
1.-TWO contingencies are possible:
Either che great powers will come to
an agreement about their respective
spheres of influence, or there will be a
great war, in which England will play
a leading part against Russia and
France. In the former case Spain would
lose the Philippines because they
would be included in the partition. In
the latter case England would begin an
attempt to get possession OF the keys
to The Mediterranean. including CeutI
and the Balearic islands, which may he
regarded as the %keyhole.

have been opened through diplomatic

A VETERINARY SURGEON OF BATTLE CREEK
TELLS ABOUT 1T.
How many times in life few words of
good advice, coming from a friend one
can depend upon, will save you hours,
perhaps months Of misery. The follow
ing which, coming from Battle Creek
will interest our readers. DIR. Oliver
Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that
city, a well-known man there, as we'll as in
Kalamazoo and Marshall, speaks of his
experience with the little conqueror and
the result of few timely words of adj
vice he says
II was standing in Amberg & Murphy's
drug store in Battle Creek one day when
a friend of mine came in and asked for a
box of kidney pills. After he had made
his purchase | said quietly to him, you
have made mistake in buying those"
His reply was "How is that?" | said
Doan's Kidney Pills are worth all the
others put together. As he wanted my
reasons for thinking so | told him that
my kidn US had bothered me for years,
that | : Altered from backache until
could scarcely stand it, that | had nearly
every symptom to be found where the
| kidneys are affected, and / had used
remedy after remedy including box after
box of the one he just purchased, and
that until used Doan's Kidney Pills |
might have taken as many spoonfuls of
water, in fact, think some of them hurt
me. A couple of weeks after this | met
| him on the street, when he said: doc,
Doan's Kidney Pills are just as you rep
resented After using the box about
which we had conversation in Amberg
q Murphy's drug store | was as bad as
ever | then procured Doan's and stuck
to their treatment until they cured me"

I'VE ASK you TO STAY" ter breakfast and
come back with green wreath that had
a red star in its center. Almost every
window in sight had its green wreath with
a red star for heart. Dodo was the
churchgoer of the twain. AS she pierced
her Sunday hat with "a long pin she settled
the dinner hour with Nan.
While they were talking the man over
head was walking to and fro with scarce
ly muffled restlessness, which Dodo de-
clared got into her nerves. Then they
heard door open and the same football
pass down the steps.
II suppose the poor fellow has gone off
to play peace on earth and good will to-
ward man 20 church full OF rich people
who don't care copper whether he has a
crust of bread today or not"
Nan looked at her severely. Upon my
word, Dodo l wouldn't let my imagina-
ton run entirely away with me just be-
cause "a man over our heads is given to
pacing all day in cresking shoes and the
janitor's wife called him the lonely gen
tleman.
When Dodo got back from church, Nan
put her in charge of affairs while she made
one of those mysterious expeditions of
which Christmas day is always prolific.
When she came back, Dodo was standing
by table in the kitchen staring tragical-
ly into an open paper bag.
Come look at this, Man. she said
gravely.
Nan walked toward her with apprehen-
sive quickness OF course something had
gone wrong with the dinner.
"A tin pan with baked beans and pork
in itY Why, we never ordered any beans"
''Of course we didn't. That is his
Christmas dinner. oh, Man,
"Whose?''
"That poor old mans overhead. +"
WELL but how do you know IL isY"
at just must be. Somebody whistlsd
up our tube, and / went to the dufnb
waiter, and there were just two bags ori Il.
i grabbed the one nearest to me, fof I'd
left the sauce for the plum puddingfsim-
mering on the stove, and the waiter went
on up. He is the only one higher u, than
we, so we've got his Christmas dinf err
And he's got our plum pudding .
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1898-12-21

ooh, we'll, let it go! A miserable little
canned pudding-I hope he will relish itP'
"But perhaps he prefers beans and
pork.
Dodo put out her hands tragically.
Don't speak of them. / came home
in such sublimated frame of mind Such
music as have heard today, Mani mean
the organ solo, 1t came over me like the
swelling anthem of solemn ocean waves
l always cry at the sound of the sea. If l
could find out who played that solo, /
would pay him all l make in a year TO
teach me the organ. 1t lifted me clean
out of the realm of worry and care, and
then-to come back TO pork and beans"
And Mrs. Stone" Nan added as the
twitter of the doorbell sounded through
the little apartment.
1t was in "a state of complete readiness
for the festive occasion. Mans evergreen
wreath, with its crimson star, decorated
their one front window; a beautiful branch
of holly that Dodo had secured a week be-
fore was suspended by her best neck rib
bon from the single gas jet in the center
of the room. Two mysterious parcels on
the table under it showed where the mod
est gifts which were to brighten the day
for Mrs. Stone and the lame girl were de-
posted.
Dodo stood absently twisting the neck
of the bag about the pan of beans If
there was only some way of sending his
dinner back TO him and making him keep
their plum pudding for dessert Then
she started violently.
Nan was talking TO somebody, and some
body was answering in "a rich baritone
voice that certainly did not belong TO old
Mrs. Stone. What Nan said was
I'VE had just discovered the exchange.
My friend took your package by mistake.
Thank you very much for bringing our
pudding back ~ Dodo's eyes and ears
were wonder stretched at Mans next
words. 1--WE would be so glad TO have
you come in and take dinner with US
that is, unless you have friends with you
up stairs.
The rich baritone said sadly, "No; there
is no one waiting for me TO come back. -
Then said Nan, with grave sweetness
owe ask you TO stay Our own Christmas
will be the gladder for knowing that you
are not all alone" And, with grateful
glance beyond her into the little holly
decorated room, he said, "If mighb''-
sit just could not be avoided, = said Nan
self defensively that night when she and
Dodo, flushed with the triumphant sue
cess of their dinner, sat discussing the day.
"When saw him standing there, pale
faced boy, meekly holding out our plum
pudding and asking for his beans, l could
no more have handed him that pan and let
him go back up stairs to MUNICH them
alone than l could have flown"
"Of course you could not" said Dodo

personal appearance has a deal TO do with

not mean dress alone. Ii does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. young man
may be clean, so far as soap and water will
make him, but be dishgured by unsightly
pimples eruptions and alterations on the
