CHICAGO, April 21.-Bogus stamps
were discovered by the local internal
revenue officers to-day on several hun
dred boxes Of cigars. which they say
came from Factory No. 3,74l. Ninth
district of Pennsylvania, the proprle-
tors of which are said to have been
arrested in the east. The counterfeits
were found only on boxes containing
fifty cigars. and were readily detected
by the obscure stars in the letters Of
the word Cigar" The result was tele-
graphed to the commissioner at Wash
ington, and Instructions were received
to seize all the contraband goods. which
were Mt first only detained. Over 200,-
900 cigars which came from the fac
tory. of the eastern counterfefters have
already been located.

A POEM ON MANKIND.

Like what is man, but like a sproutins

That grows and rlpens but to cast its
seed
Among the thistles and the tares OF life
And then to see It strangled In the

or like the clouds that wander with the
breeze
And pass unnotlced from a life Of ease ?
Or like a mushroom, sprung to life,
alas,
To starve or strangle In the tangled
grass?
These are thoughts that are apt to
come to many people at times. espe-
clally when they are sick and have 70

Is one drug store in Oregon where you

ENGLISH FIGHTING AGAINST
ODDS.

A striking peculiarly Of the present
situation in South Africa is that it re-
verses for the moment the relative posi-
tons Of the weak and If the strong
power. Much sympathy has been arous-
ed for the Beers IN the plea that they
have been forced into a war with a
mighty empire. but if mere disparity
in numbers justifes such a plea then
the sympathy and the admiration which
go out to the man who fights against
odds belong Of right to the British SOL
diers who have done such gallant work
under General White in Natal and un-
der Baden-Powell at Mafeking.
In judging this personal gallantry
and the skillful direction it enjoys, It
makes no difference that the odds will
be changed ultimately The heroic Of
ficers who were 50 conspicuous in the
brilliant charges up the heights at Dun
dee and Elandsladgte We're the leaders
of the smaller army just the same, and
knew that there was no prospect of
large and immediate reinforcements.
Theirs was the uphill struggle on every
account
With respect to numbers the various
estimates leave no room for doubt that
the Beers have an immense advantage
throughout Natal and Bechuanaland
too. The figures in Natal are given as
three to one, two to one, 1900 to 5000,
