During the winter Of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va ,
struck his leg against cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severely.
1t became very much swollen and
panied him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
half gallons of whiskey in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief untii n
began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete in Ii
weeks time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would have
had to be amputated. Paiu Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumatism. For Sale by j. ]. Plumer,

Whic.. Was Who.

An interesting Missouri exchange
has this: Two brothers from a North
issonri county appeared one morn
ing at the portals of the st. Joe insane
asylum, one to be incarceratei as Il
patient and the other having him in
charge. They were dressed very much
alike and the observer on the train
would not have detected signs of in
sanity in either. The asylum man was
in a quandary. lie chatted with the
visitors until late hour and then
locked them in room together. Then
he telegraphed to the town where the
brothers lived: 1.-Two men arrived here
from your town today, both dressed
alike. One calls himself Bill and talks
of constructing an air line to the moon;
the other goes by the name of Dave and
advocates the gold standard. Which

One day when Caesar was leaning up
against wooden Indian in front OF
Brutus' cigar store, half way between
the Forum and the Republican central
committee headquarters, he was &C
costed by bunko steerer with green

Awakened China,

ASH mas excited the curiosity and
ambition of mankind" writes Archibald
Colquthoun. At once the cradle of the
human race and the treasury of riches,
this continent is the last to he exploited
by the alert States of the West.
OF all Asia, China is the land of prom
Use. 1t is of vast territorial extent, with
a population to be roughly estimated
as five times that of the United States.
Its people are civilized. Its mineral re-
sources are limitless. Adding to all
this an extensive coast, mighty rivers,
and varied climate, ard one is able to
judge why China is receiving the pres
emit attention.
1t is not that the country has been
recently discovered, but in its lethargy
it has been lost sight of.
In the short war which ended with
the treaty of 1895, when China lay at
the feet Of Japan, China's weakness was
revealed to the world.
Russia, France and Germany saw AL
opportunity which they at once availea
themselves of. Japan was informed
that China's friends wished to see fair
play, and the Japanese forces reluct-
antly withdrew.
No sooner was this done than Russia
bounced upon Port Arthur,and through
skilful management has peacefully &C.
Quired paramount influence in China.
Russia is, indeed, the only power that
has actually taken possession of con-
siderable area, and the four hundred
thousand or more square miles, which
she has practically annexed, are not
one-tenth of the whole, and their popu-
lstion is probably not more than one
twentieth of the whole. The seizures
or purchases or leases Of all the other
powers put together do not amount to
one-tenth as much as Russia's.
Practically the whole coast Of China
has been taken by the powers, leaving
the Independent part Of the Empire
mere Cumberland"
Russia has all the coast from the Co.
rean boundary to the Great Wall
The British command the northern
coast of the Shan-Tung promontory.
while the Germans command the south
ern coast.
Japan and Italy both command por
ton Of the coast, so that the two hun
bred miles or less of the coast of Pc
Chilli are all of the whole coast that
China can now call her own.
1t goes without saying that, with the
coast thus taken, the interior land will
be speedily reduced to the status of
mere dependencies upon the powers
that control its approach to the sea.
Nine-tenths of the controversies in
Africa have been about the inland re-
gions, and the same will be true of
China. 1t is comparatively easy to
divide the coast and to control it. There
warships are sll-powerful and all-sutfi-
cient. But far inland, where ships can
not go, it will be different and far
more difficult matter, first to divide the |
land between the powers, and then to |
govern it after it is divided.
1t is forseen, however, that out of |
the ruins of the rapidly passing Chinese
empire there may arise strong and |
vigorous State, for to what greatness
may not China hope to attain when her
people have mastered not only the
white mans arts, but his military and
moral methods as wellf

Mistaken for a Coon.

A probably fatal shooting affair
occurred in North Granville. a few
miles from Bennington, Saturday
afternoon. George Molott and
Henry Loomis went hunting for
coon,. They separated and not
long after Loonis noticed a commo-
ton in the bushes and, supposing
that it was Il coon, fired. The
charge of shot struck his companion
in the head and face. Serious in
iu,ies were inflicted, and the physi-
clans think it doubtful about the
wounded man recovering.

purposes. Said she: 'Now, Mr..
Selden, | want some clarct tol
