take it all too seriously, Neil. AS 1 said
before, doubt if Duva1 would dare go

strike. A rich strike; but what has it
cost me? Nobody knows who has not
tried it, what it takes out of a man to
live and work for years like that. He
pays the price of success out of his
very arteries; he is just so much the
poorer in actual life-blood; he has
burned out that much of his candle of
life, and it is gone, never to be regained.
He is old and all the wealth of the
world will never give him back his
squandered youth. Itwouid seem, con-
sidering all things, that he should be
entitled to his paltry wages; but far
from that, every highwayman in the
land is at liberty to harass and despoil
him, provided only the methods are
chosen with reference to the accommo-

myself an injunction, shutting me out

and steal my coat, could have him sent
up for sixty days, with hardly the de-
lay of an hour; but this high-toned
thief can rob me of thousands, and my
only redress seems to be to allow judge
and jury and witnesses to rob me of
thousands more. 1t is enough to make
a man swear"
"Well, swear, then. 1t may do you
good" laughed the lawyer, but his
glance was sympathetic. ut is tough,

If you have any birds which you have
reason to believe will not keep, have
them picked and emptied. They should
then be rinsed and afterward rubbed
over with salt, outside and in. When
this has been done, take them by the
legs one by one and plunge them into
boiling water several times. After they
have been in the water five or six min
utes, take them out and hang them in
= cool place till thoroughly drained
when they should be rubbed inside and

that the number OF pensions allowed
during the past fiscal year, including
the war of 1912, was 56, 1871. of which
54,S52 were for soldiers II 1855 for

mou paid for pensions during the
fiscal year ending June so, 1898. S144,-
651, S79; average value of each pen
sion $131.79. Comparison shows that
more pensions for service in the war
of the rebellion were granted during
the last fiscal year than were allowed
during the entire four years of Grants
second term and the entire admins
tration of President Hayes; that the
amount actually paid for army and
navy pensions during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1898. was largely in ex-
cess of the amount paid either dur
ing the first or second term of Presi-
dent Grants administration and al
most as much as was paid during the
entire four years of President Hayes

Hours Before Being Rescued

Mr.. Isaac T. Shepard and his fish
ing crew who operate on upper Tonsail
Sound, had a narrow escape from a
Wattery grave in the ocean on Sat
urday last. While passing out Sid
bury's inlet which runs from the ocean
into Topsail Sound, the heavy swell
capsized the boat a half mile from
shore. Seven men and a 1i-year-pld
boy were thrown into the water and it
was wonderful that they were not
drowned.
The tide was running swiftly out Of
the inlet, and when the boat capsized
the men managed to cling to it's bot
tom while 1t was tossed about at the
mercy of the waves. The boy got hold
of a platform seat used in one end of
the boat and he drifted to sea three
quarters of a mile beyond the others.
He held on to 1t, however, but was
and ready to go down by
the time he was rescued.

THE DREYFUS CASE
Steps Taken to Give Him a New Trial
Colonel Henry,s Suicide COnniyed at.
He had AccOmplfces in the Forgery

Paris, September lit is reported
hat the minister of justice, M. Sar-
rien, has taken steps to grant Captain
Dreyfus a retrial.
La Patrie announced today that Col
onel Patty du Clam had been arrested
for completely in the Dreyfus forgery.
It is now insinuated that the suicide
of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the chief
of the intelligence department of the
French ministry for war, was con-
nived at by the French army authori-
ties. 1t is recalled that a similar OPP
portunity to commit suicide was af-
forded to Dreyfus, who, declined to
profit by it.
It is generally believed that the rest
of the general staff of the French
army will follow the example of Cen
eral Boisdeffre, the chief of staff, and
of General Come, the under chief and
tender their designations.
1t appears that the minister of war,
M. Cavaignac, is convinced that Colo
mel Henry had accomplices in the for
gerry of the discriminating document.
Colonel Henry left letters addressed
to the minister for war and General
Boisdeffre in which he protested that
he had not realized the gravity of the
act which he committed "solely for
the good Of the cause"
The minister for war this afternoon
had an audience with Gen. Renouard
director of the military college, VINO
has accepted the Office of chief of the
general staff, vacant owing to the res
ignation of General Boisdeffre. The
latter bid farewell to the officials of
his bereau this morning.
