TWO POINTED QUESTIONS At
SEVERED.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor II you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference IN
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they Will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought -prom1-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment On them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may occasional
ly take UP with some fashionable nov
city put forth with exaggerated
claims, but are certain to return to

reliable, and for coughs, colds and

out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump,
ICentrifugals, Elevators, Flows, Rail-
ways and HOSTS; also, furnish light
and power for a radius of from 15 to
80 miles.
Electric Power being used, saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill
Where water power is available 1t
costs nothing to generate Electric

JAPAN READY FOR WAR.

Has Been MobolizinE Her Army and
Navy in Secret.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The st. James
Gazette, commenting upon the dispatch
from Yokohama, saying that fleet Of
nine japanese warships will leave
Japan in the course of week for Chi
nese waters, says:
Japan is prepared for war. That in
a nutshell is the news from Yokohama,
and it is really the first news from
Japan since the beginning of the Chi.
nese crisis. It was obvious that the
Japanese government had stopped tel
egraphic communication, which it
never does except when mobiliziny the
army or navy. That is precisely what
it has been doing. It is almost certain
that the destination Of the fleet is Wei
Hal Wei, and there is no doubt the
movement means the status quo in
China, so far as Manchuria and Korea
are concerned, shall not be altered sy
Russia or any combination Of Russia s
allies, in defiance of Great Britain and
Japan. So long as the defenders poi.
icy is equality Of opportunity in China,
they are in u position to enforce then
claims.
Tho St. James Gazette also give:
prominence to a list of ships in tht
Japanese navy, points out its immense
fighting strength, and says:
"Even with Great Britain q mere
sympathetic onlooker, it is probable
that Japan could finish off all the Rus
sian and German warships east Of Suez,
in short order"

A THORN APPLE TRIP.

ca, we went to the woods on a thorn apple
trip,
For the apples that blaze from the low branch's
tipi
For the sky was so blue,
The white clouds peeping through,
There was nothing TO do
to give all the world md it's people the
slip
And away to the woods on a thorn apple trip.
Then the woodpecker bowed, in his gay scarlet
hood,
And the crow swung aloft in the tall cotton
wood
While he called his ''caw, cawi'
To lay down the law
To these strangers he saw.
Then down under the fence in the best way we
could
And-all h~ail--we're at last in the thorn apple
wood.
Then a rush for the trees and a fall or a slip,
Up and onward again, with a laugh and a quip!
Now a toss of n stick,
Or q limb shaken quick,
And the apples fail thick
As the eager young robbers the bent branches
strip
And hurrah for the woods and the thorn apple
tripi
For we went to the woods on a thorn apple
trip,
For the apples that blaze from the low branch's
tipl
Then hurrah for the sun
And the laugh and the fun,
For the tumble and run,
And again with me join in the loyal hip, hip,
hurrah, for the woods and the thorn apple
tIipl
Mat Myrtle Cook in st. Nicholas.
