afflicted with cancer of the lower lip.
The cancer was removed the / st of
September by DIR. Uriah Branch, of

cancer. The principal cure was
effected by some internal remedy.

cure is permanent"

Consecuencia de ese estado de cosas
es ell malestar general econ6mico, que

Esa suspension produce efectos coll
trarios, pues en- realidad perjudica la

| Ante esa amenaza, venimOs a rOga-

1por ser atenUatoria al derecho que asis-
te a intereses tan legftimos como los
que Sc quieren favorecer; por ser ade-
mas perjudicial q los intereses genera

GREAT NATION.

Three million Jews live in Russia,
where they are shut up in the western
provinces and v~illainously treated. If he
ventures to live outside the Jewish pale
in Russia Hebrew has to carry or some
humble trade, and the richest banker in
Odessa, if any Russian has a grudge
against him, may be compelled to work as
a cobbler on pain of Punishment.
Naturally the Jews retaliate, and de-
light in getting Russian officials and
mobiles under their power with loans of
money. One million five hundred thous-
and Jews live in the Austrian empire,
where they are prosecuted. The present
mayor and corporation of Vienna were
elected for the Express purpose of bully
ing the Jewish community. France has
50. 900 Jews, Roumania has 100, 900 Jews;
Germany 100, 900, Holland so, 1000 and Italy
so, 600.
Great Britain has 10000, including
many of our most notable and popular
public men.
Europe has 100000 Jews, America
$50. 900, Africa 500, 900, Asia $50, 900 and
Australasia 20, 900.
SO, altogether, there are 1920 0 of this
nation, which is pretty fair, considering
that 1000 years ago they only numbered
about 5000, 900, and the whole civilized
world has been massacreing n bullying
them ever since. They seem to be by far
the most capable race on earth. There
is not a single art, industry or science in
which they have not excelled.

HIS SISTER.

L have the sweetest sister ever b2oomed
IN beauty's garden,
A Winsome little angel full of Innocence
and grace;
If you could see the charming girl you'd
grant me smiling pardon
For saying she would knock most any
male heart off its base!
There's ripping music in her laugh, it
seems inspired of heaven,
Her smile would melt the coat of ice
from woman-hater's heart!
Though but my sister, by her charms my
heart is sadly riveTt-
Is pierced from suburbs clear to core by
Cupids singing dart!
Her pretty face an angel from the upper
realms would covet,
"A smiling face set in a frame of semi
golden hair;
All! that sweet, winEpme frontispiece! to
see it is to love it!
No man susceptible of heart could
'scape it's waiting snare!
Her teeth of porcelafnish tint set in their
rosy portal
Seem far too pure to chop at such a vul-
gar thing as hash!
I'll bet my birthright 'sainst a dime no
other feTnale mortal
Such lovely teeth of natural growth
upon the eyes can flash!
Her hands are beautiful in, shape, and
very we'll she knows it,
Her feet-Well, them I never So w. but
dainty are her boots,
Her nose is of the Grecian build, and
when the darling blows it
The melody is sweeter than am orches-
ira of flutes!
Her gentle voice falls on the ear like
golden love-bells tirkling,
1t holds me in a waking trance tina,
seems almost divine!
But in this rambling, offhand verse
scarce can give an inkiing
OF all the charms possessed by tina
sweet sister dear of mine
You're no doubt wondering just why the
bloomin' deuce a fellow
Should group the leakines of his brair
| in a poetic maze,
Should chew the rag of poesy and must.

Such hifalutin' language to exploit c
sisters praise,
The thing is new to me, you know, anG
hence it is I howell
SUCK tuneful fuel N the fire to keer
her charms alight;

She's only been my sister since I pop.

AT CALUMPIT.

It appears that Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers ere making a final stand at Cal
urnpit, and that the United States troops,
with the Montana volunteers in the lead,
ara surrounding the stronghold pre-
paratory to the ringing down of the cur
tain upon the Filipino war. The work
that is going on today will mark the be-
ginning of the end, as the fortunes Of war
are played. NJ
Whether seige is Laid to the insurgent
leader and his horde Of savages, and the
capitutation Of the enemy finally brought
about i'm that manner, or the works are
captured by assault, the result will be
the practical closing of the war. Aside
from A~guipaldo the Filipinos have no
header in whom absolute reliance is
placed, and with his capture or death in
the near future the backbone of the in
surrection will be broken.
The events of The next few days win be
awaited with great interest, especially by
MoEtanians, as our boys are at the front
and will share largely in the misfortunes
and elories of the contest.
