Three Lives Saved.

Two Partisan gendarmes were walk
ing along the banks of the Canal
d'Ourcq one day. says La Gazette Anec-
dotlque, when they came across a
beautiful Russian deerhound, evidently
astray. On his collar was nothing ex-
cept what was evidently his name
"Dimitri. -
Tying stout cord to his neck, the
policemen led him along with them,
meaning to take him to the pound.
Destiny seemed to be Turing him to his
death, for unless he We're claimed with
in week or two he would surely be
asphyxiated according to law.
Suddenly the trio arrived at the Dual
de la Marine, where large crowd had
collected. A child had fallen into the
water and was drowning, while it's
mother was running up and down, cry
ing in agony:
"Oh, save my child! Who will save
my child?''
Finally man named Emil Nolle
jumped into the stream and swan out
to the boy. Incumbered with his cloth
ing, he was seized in frantic grasp by
the struggling child, and both were dis
appearing, to the horror of the specta-
tors, when like flash of light Dimitri
sprang into the canal. He had bitten
his rope through.
In two minutes the drowning pair
were at the side Of the canal, where
willing hands drew them from the wa
ter. In the excitement of the work of
resuscitation the bystanders forgot the
dog. When at last they looked around
for him, he had disappeared. His cap
tors never saw him again, and there
were three lives saved.

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

How Some of the Conditions Neees-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance of maintaining gooo
health is easily understood, and it Is
really simple matter if we take cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
dipests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need IT,
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such a record OF cures as HOOD
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken

CHINA WANTS HER CRIMINALS.
CeIestiaIs Propose to Negotiate an
ExtrnditiOn Treaty.

Washington, Dec 1.-The Chinese gov
ernment, through Minister WI Ting Fang,
has broached to the authorities here the
willingness of China to negotiate an extra
dtlon treaty applicable 10 all criminals,
but intended in particular 10 reach che
"Hlghbinders." This fraternity has spread
terror through the far West.
The Chinese government finally determ-
ned TO take cognizance OF the subject as
the agitations in this country operated
quite as much against the law-abiding Chi
nese and against the Chinese government
itself as it did against the parties to the
secret crimes. 1t was, therefore, repre-
sented to the officials here that as the
Highbinders had proved such a dihicult
class for the local police authorities in
this country to deal with, China would as
sumo the burden Of detection and punish
ment IL am extradltion treaty could be
negotiated. The purpose, II was suggest
ed, to have China assume all the costs
of apprehending and transporting the gull
ty parties.
While willing to get rid OF Chinese high
binders and all other Chinese criminals,
the authorities here foresaw serious legal
objections to such a treaty. The methods
OF trial and punishment In China are very
summary. The proposal, therefore, was
open to the objection that this country
was surrendering persons domlciled within
its borders 10 a foreign country for harsh
and unusual prosecution ana punishment
Little doubt was entertained here that If
China once secured possessions of the
highbinders short work would be made
of them, owing to the prejudice they have
brought upon the government China was
ready to overcome this objection as far
as possible by providing for a full hearing
on trial In this country before the parties
were turned over TO the Chinese officials
for deportation home. This. however, did
not fully meet the legal objections against
the proposition. Moreover Il was believ-
ed the Senate, to which such a treaty
would have to be referred for ratification
would not act favorably upon II, and that
Il would stir up anifioslties and agitation
on the Chinese question IN general, rather
than accept such special good in the direc-
tion wished for.
The Chinese authorities have not, there
fore, gone further than to breach the sub
ject to the officials here and learn how
such treaty woi:ld be viewed although
they stand ready at any time to assume
the burden of dealing with the highbinders
and other Chinese criminals II naturalI-
cation treaty should give them jurisdc-
tlon over the offenders.

Loss OF THE KING PHILIP.
Her Crew of Twelve Men Perished.
VaIued mt $4,000.

Baltimore, Dec. 1.-The Biack-Sheridan-
Wilson Coal Company of this city received
a telegram to-day from e. II. Norton, the
Boston agent of the firm, saying the
company's schooner King Philip, which
left this port Nov. 16 with 1,7a tons of
coal for Portland, Me. had foundered in
the gale Sunday night off Highland light,
on the Massachusetts, coast, and that all
were lost.

vessel She was owned by the Black
Sheridan Wilson company, and was val
ued al $4,000 She was commanded by
Capt. A. A. Duncan of Portland, from
which port her crew all hailed. She ran
regularly between Baltimore and Eastern
ports with coal cargoes. 1t is said that

twelve men all told. The vessel and car
go were fully insured.
