EX.QUEEN LILIUOKALANI is dying of a
cancer, which for year or more has been
growing on the right side of her neck over
the jugular vein. She has kept this secret
from her most intimate friends, and avoided
ali efforts to seek medical treatment. She
is now very Respondent and believes that
her end is near. DR.. English, o New York
specialist, who accompanied her to Hawaii,
accidentally learned Of the presence OF the
dread growth. He noticed swelling on
her neck and asked her it's cause. DR.. Eng
lish says that owing to the position OF the
cancer and the long neglect OF proper treat
ment, the ex,queen's condition has become
extremely critical. During her stay at San
Francisco she has only left her hotel once,
and when she went on board the steamer
last Wednesday she broke down and cried
bitterly. The ex queen has been placed I'M
der proper treatment, and on her arrival at
Honolulu and operation may be performed
on her neck. although she has no faith in
the surgeons knife. She firmly believes
that her doom is sealed. At times her sui.
fering Is intense. Occasionally her throat
swells and she finds it almost impossible to
swallow her food.

Made a Reputation.

Some good men are naturally such
teachers, and so full of benevolence,
especially toward the young, that they
cannot help spreading wisdom wher.
ever they go. That the seed may fall
on stony ground is proved by story
which gentleman who went hunting
far into the interior of Nova Scotia,
tells in letter.
The hunter was carried sixteen miles
at night by boy sixteen years old and
horse fifteen years old. The ride
was tedious, and the boy driver was in
clined to fall asleep. The hunter,
therefore, tried to interest him in some
thing.
~ see we are going due west" he
said.
GLOW do you know that?" asked the
boy. "Were you ever here before?"
ono; but there is the North Star"
"How do you know it's the North
Starr"
why, there are the pointers"
"What pointers?"
The hunter explained, and told the
boy how to find the North Star. Then
he pointed out two of the planets. The
boy seemed wide awake now, and the
hunter went on 10 give him his first
lesson in astronomy, telling him how
Jupiter was 300 times as large as the
earth, and how Mars showed changes
OF seasons-how it had bays and ap-
parent canals, and 30 forth, and how it
was supposed by many to have intelli-
gent inhabitants.
When, after his hunting, the stranger
returned to the town where he had
hired the conveyance and the boy, he
found that the people seemed to have
certain humorous interest in him. 1t
was 80 evident that he was the object
of some curiosity or joke, that he made
inquiries, and finally found man who
could tell him.
"Why," said his informant, "you've
made a great reputation for yourself
around here"
''In what way?"
"Oh, the kid that drove you over to
- the other night came back the
next day and told all the settlers at
the hotel that of all the liars he ever
heard, you were the slickest."
"What lie did l tell him?"
1.-THE boy said that you pretended to
know the number of miles to the sun,
and that you pointed to a star that you
said was called 'Jumpter,' and that you
said it was 1900 times bigger than this
world, and that you pointed to another
star that you said was one where folks
lived"
"Oh,' says that boy, you just ought
to hear him He's peach Old Has
kins amt in it with that Teller fer lyin'.'
tell you he's the biggest liar in Nova
Scotia. I'll point him out to you when
be comes back"
The boy had pointed him out, and he
was at that moment enjoying the repu-
tation of the champion of all the liars
who had ever come to Nova Scotia
Country Gentleman.

portance, as it largely tends to restrict the
use OF telephone apparatus by so-called in

was considered a test case in that it has a
wide bearing on the Berliner apparatus and
the double or multiple switchboards, which
are absolutely essential to independent
companies This apparently insignificant
suit was really a test suit brought by the
Bell Telephone Company against every
concern which is endeavoring to do bust

expected that the result Of this decision
will be to prevent further use of this pa.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account of their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. PinlSham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
IS letter from Mrs. j. 9. Orms, of 22o
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel 1t my
duty to tell all suffering women that 1
think your remedies are wonderful. 1
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies 1 am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat and
sleep we'll and am gaining in flesh. 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year,

The war department at Washington has
ruled that the President alone can appoint
officers to vacancies in volunteer regiments
caused by deaths, resignation or discharge
after being mustered into the United States
service. This will, it is said, invalidate a
number of appointments made by Governor
Stephens to the five regiments now in the
field.

RepOse.

Better for me modest plot
OF cultivated soil;
forty-acre prairie lot,
Where can sweat and toll,
Than in the field of politics
To take an active part,
And practice all the schemes and tricks
That sanctify the art.
No, let me have a rural roost
Beside ripping creek
Where l can give the weeds a boost
And hear Dame Nature speak;
Where high above the waving corn,
On stately boughs of pine,
The CHEEKY birds at early morn
Can wake this heart of mine;
Where solemn notes of ffe and drum
May be forever missed,
And politicians seldom come
To wiring my honest fist.
There let me measure, by the peck,
Potatoes from the patch"
And milk the spotted COW called Speck
And watch the chickens hatch.
While others do a deal of harm
With honors, dearly won,
III live in peace upon the farm
And toll from sun to sun.

When Pm too crippled up to feed
The boar black pig own
He gains, by far, the most in life
Who keeps the most alone.
Away from party feud and strife,
"Unhonored and unknown"
Who lives a life serene and true
Unostentatious wise
And counts upon favored few
To "blubber" when he dies.
