completely overthrown. Why? Christ

God said: 'There are treasures in
Heaven in banks that never break"
Jesus hushing the tempest.
There is one storm into which we
will all have to run. The moment
when we let go of this world and try
TO take hold of the next, we will want
all the grace possible. Yonder I see
a Christian soul rocking on the surges

seem let out against that soul-the

are no tears; plenty of tears in the

All shall be well, Jesus being our

nvv~ roxes Get Rid of FIeas.

By an old hunter and naturalist of To- cal repute story has been told here confirming as absolutely true and trust worthy the published account, which has had few believers until now. of how foxes rid themselves of feas. The fox, according to the book narrative, simply backs slowly into a stream of water with a portion of the pelt of a rabbit fin his mouth after the fox has made meal off the rabbit. The water drives the fleas first up the fox's legs and then toward his head and finally out on the piece of rabbit fur, and then the fox drops the fur, and his pests are done for.
 The local hunter and naturalist re- ferred to, strange to say, had never heard or read this story when he told of the actions of the fox which he ob- served in the waters of the Patapsco river. The little animal, he stated, backed into the river slowly with so much deliberation that he wondered what 1t meant. 1t carried something he did not know what-in its mouth and dropped the something when out In deep water. Then the fox hurried away. The object left -fioated near to the observer, and he hauled 1t ashore with a stick. Pleas literally swarmed through the object, which was found to be bit of raw rabbit fur. The ob- server had puzzling mystery explain ed to him. He says his admiration for the shrewdness of the fox grows more and more as he grows older and learns his ways.-Baltimore Sun.

According to the narrative of Ser geants Ross I. Barton and John Zimmer- man of the Forty-seventh volunteer in- fantry, who have recently returned to their homes in Whitestone, L. l., while their regiment was fighting with the F'ili- pinos at Albay, Sergeant Fowler, also of Whitestone. shot and killed a handsome young Filipino lieutenant named Marcus and captured his sword. Lieutenant Marcus was a son of Marcellue Marcus, a wealthy Filipino, who is known all over the island and who had hitherto been friendly to the Americans, although his son was bitterly opposed to them. The death of his son, however, reused the old man to a pitch of the greatest fury, and he swore that he would spend every dollar he owned to avenge his boy despite the fact that young Marcus had been killed in fair fight. Marcellue Marcus accordingly raised a troop of 5000 na- tive followers and offered a reward of S100 for every left ear of a member of the Forty-seventh regiment.

Coney Case Decided.

The New York state court of appeals has given a decision on two questions of great political import: First, that d member of a general political county com mittee cannot be removed from office by the vote of a majority of the committee; second, that the will of majority of per sons voting at a primary election for q member of a county committee may not be overridden by the committee itself. The decision is given in the case of Sena- tor Michael J. Coffey of Kings, who was removed by the Kings county Democratic committee on March 2S, 1900, on the charge made by several electors that he had been in open hostility to the party in the election of November, 1899. Judge Parker, presiding judge, wrote the opin- ion, and it is concurred in by Judges Haight, Yann and Landon. Judge Cullen writes the dissenting opinion and is con- cured with by Judges O'Brien and Bart lett.

Soldiers I'm Reunion.

Chattanooga, Oct. 10.-An trains last night brought in additional veterans to the reunion of the Army of the Cumber- land and the Spanish-American War Vet erans' association, and there are now several thousand in the city. The council of administration of the Spanish Ameri- can War Veterans association held a meeting yesterday afternoon.

Chineae sunerafition

When General Grant was visiting China, Chester Holcombe, for many years secretary of the American lega- ton at Picking, secured for him privi- lege never,before that time accorded to foreigner, the privilege of admission into the sacred precincts of the Temple of Heaven in Picking.
 Now, 1t is contrary to. the settled be- lief of the Chinese to admit a member of the female sex, old or young. even to the temple ground, under any circum- stances. 1t Is said that should a Chi nese guard venture even to carry a baby girl In his arms within the forbid den lines he would probably be punish ed with death. Not knowing of these restrictions, a number of ladies in Gen. eral Grants party ventured to follow him when he visited the sacred edifice.
 Realizing the seriousness of this ac- ton, MT. Holcombe afterward apolo- gized to the emperor's representative for the conduct of his countrywomen and was informed that the intrusion would be overlooked, but must be kept as secret as possible, for should the populace learn of 1t an antiforeign out break would be likely to follow. They would not forgive such a pollution of their most sacred building. Weekly.

 T told him there was no fly on him, but he pointed to the mirror and said: You think I can't see him. I ain't so drunk that I can't see a fy.'
 T turned to the glass, and there stood the fly on the mirror and In such position that from my customer's s range of vision 1t seemed to be on his cheek.

A LASTING EFFECT. This Evidence Should Prove
 Every Claim.

Relief from the pains and aches of . bad back h always welcome to every backache sufferer. but to cure q lame, weak or aching back Is what's wanted. Cure 1t SO it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it.
 MT. H. P. Smith, blacksmith, of Elm street, Amesbury, Mass, says: ''Mrs. Smith, from cold which settled in her loins, suffered SO severely from backache that she was unable to attend to the or- dinary household duties, often finding 1t impossible to even make bed for three months. had read great many state ments of residents of Amesbury who pos itively declared that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured them of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint. This led me to make some inquiries, and as q re- suit Mrs. Smith took a thorough course of the treatment. 1t cured her. It Is SO long ago that am confident the results are permanent. We never lose an oppor- tunity of advising others who suffer from either weakened or over-excited kidneys to procure Doan's Kidney Pills, and we know of scores in and around Amesbury who have taken our advice and were not only surprised but gratifed at the bene- fits received"

No Trace of Captain shield..

The expedition that was recently sent to rescue Captain Devereaux Shields and the 52 men who are supposed to have been captured by Filipinos on Marin duque island in September reached Tor rios on Sept. 27. It marched into the mountains over the route which Shields had expected to take, but without secur- ing any definite information, the natives fleeing at the approach of the rescuing party. Some Chinamen were encounter ed on the march. They said that Cap tain Shields had been wounded in fight nine miles north of Torrijos. After los ing several killed Shields ammunition be- came exhausted, and his party was over whelmed and captured. The Chinamen thought that the Filipinos might have taken the prisoners to Mindoro, an ungar- riaoned town

Conxer Cable. Name. of Guilty.

In accordance with request, Minister Conger has cabled a list of prominent Chinese whom he regards as the responsi- ble authors of the outrages on foreigners and has made recommendations as to their punishment It is understood that the minister has named some who were not included in the recent imperial decree when Prince Yuan was degraded. Among these is doubtless General Tung Fun Slang and other generals of the Chinese forces. As to the punishment to be ad- ministered he has undoubtedly recom- mended that some be executed and others degraded. This government, desiring that exemplary punishment shall be visited on the most guilty, will probably urge that Yuan be beheaded as a fitting penalty for his crimes and direct responsibility for the murder of foreign and native Chris tians
