Names from South Africa Arc Given {,
Unfortunate Youngsters.
One OF the results Of the war in South
Africa is an outbreak of curious
names. Luckless infants born at Of

ing christened after the events them
selves, as well as after the more promi'
nent individuals concerned. Redverl

ago, and Dundee, Glencoe and Glands

Penn Symons White Robinson. A
Boer named Troskie, residing In tho
Craddock district in Cape Colony, had

to have taken South Wales in a very
acute form. A few days ago Moddet
River Jones, John Redvers Butler
Thomas, Harry White Redvers Joseph,
Harold Baden Mafeking Powell, and
Ezekiel Methuen Macdonald Baden
Powell Williams were the names given
to helpless infants by patriotic parents
in Meath. At Pontypridd there are
poor babes called Richard Colenso

James, and Baden-Powell Williams;
and at. Mountain Ash, Victor Colenso
Warren, Warren Sanford, Macdonald
Claremont, Methuen Phillips, John
Stanley Methuen Williams, and Baden

the famous Tristram. 1t will be remem-
bered, believed there was something
fateful in name. The world seems
to have been blessed with a sufficient
number Of individuals Of opinions
similar to this, else how can one ac-
count for such names as Peter the
Great Wright and William the Con-
queror Wright (twins), King David
Hayden, John Bunyan Parsonage,
King George Westgate, Martin Luther

Jones, Lord Nelson Putnam, Empress

doubt, had pious hope that the child

of the great persons whose names
had been appropriated. The hope has
not been realized, for none OF these in
dividuals seem ever to have set the
Thames on fire. And perhaps 1t is
rather well for humanity that there

The change in the size Of the bath

New York's growth. This valuable

u. 5. Preparingto Bring Turkey to Terms.

Washington. government is
preparing to take very decisive steps,
it is learned. with a view to bringing
Turkey to the prompt performance of
it's promise and it's obligations with
respect to the claims OF the United
States.
The recall of Ali Ferrough Bey, the
Turkish, minister, has vastly stimu-
lated interest in the somewhat strained
diplomatic relations with the sublime
porte, and every step in the negotia-
tions is watched with keen interest,
especially now that it is possible for
an American fleet to be withdrawn
from easten waters for a possible
demonstration in the Mediterranean
1t is learned from high official that
the administration is of the opinion
that no extreme measures will be nec-
essarv in dealing with the sultan. but
that it is prepared TO adopt such mea-
sures if the more usual and gentler re-
sources of diplomacy are Of no effect
These harsher measures will be, in
the event of the failure of the present
negotiations, nothing less than an ul-
timatum, which would be presented to
the sultan by Minister Oscar S. Straus,
who will soon return to Constantine

Near Waldron, Ind, resides Mr..
Robert White, one of the best-known
farmers of the community. He is well
situated, and just now has had an un-
usual share OF good fortune.
In his earlier days Mr.. White was
strong and athletic, but now, while on
the declining side of forty, hard work
and disease nave made him different
man, although today he is in good
| health.
| For number of years he has been
| troubled with rheumatism, catarrh of
the mead ana stomach. Often in bad
weather his ailments would be aggra-
vated and he would be in serious
condition.
When the grippe visited this section
seven years ago, Mr.. White was one
OF those attacked by this fearful dis
ease and was confined to his bed for
several days. After recovering enough
to sit up for a few days, concluded
he was well enough to get out about
his work.
! He went out too soon. Most all pa
tients do that. He had relapse and
was confined to his bed for several
greatly affected. The efforts of his
physician, who had been attending him
all the time, proved unavailing. The
doctor was dismissed. Several others
were tried, but their treatment was
useless.
Mr. White doctored himself and used
many remedies said to be good for his
diseases, but he was not helped.
He went to Matisville and took the
baths, but they did him only tempor-
ary good cit seemed impossible to
get relief" said he, "and I did not

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and they cured me. | commenced TAX
ing them last June, and after taking
five boxes I was entirely cured. They
relieved me from all suffering. OF
course I suffered from rheumatism
most, and l am now completely cured
of that. I had tried two catarrh spe-
cialists, who were said to be good for
the trouble, and they each said my
case was incurable. Dr%Wiliams' Pink

lieved me of miserable suffering, and
my only regret is thatI did not have
the good fortune to take them seven
years ago. I have recommended the
medicine to a number and the dealer
in Waldron says he has large de-
mand for it."
It was natures own remedy that
accomplished this cure caused by i'm
pure blood, for Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are composed of
vegetable remedies that exert power
full influence in purifying and enrich
ing the blood. Many diseases long
supposed by the medical profession to
be incurable have succumbed to the
potent influence of these pills. This
universal remedy is sold by all drug
gists.

Prints Money and Stamps.

From the desperate haste in which
bank notes are turned out at the bu-
reau of engraving and printing at
Washington the casual observer might
think the country was going to be
flooded with paper money. Such is
not the case. It takes 81 ,000,0 900 in pa
per money every day to redeem the
worn-out bank bills sent to Washing
ton by the banks of the country Then
it takes nearly s1200000O a month to
redeem the circulating notes of ma
tional banks.
The bureau last year produced g.
715,828,875 postage stamps Three aud
a half billions of these were the ordi-
nary stamps. but 2O0,000000 were is
sued to celebrate the Omaha exposi-
tion. There were 100000 postage
due stamps printed and 100000 spe-
cial delivery stamps.
There is a $100 stamp printed and it
took $4,000 of them to satisfy popular
demand. Last year 100000 stamps
were issued for the internal revenue
tax. Cuba got over 18,000,000 postage
stamps last year, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines 100000, while Guam ap-
piled for and got $4,000.
United States bonds are printed by
the bureau for coupon bonds are con-
stantly being exchanged for registered
bonds which have to be in the names
of the new purchasers. 1t is said in
one year this bureau does work which
represents a sum equal in value to all
the money in circulation in the United
States.-Chicago News.

Dried Fruit Abroad.

Washington-The prospect for an un-
precedented export of American dried
fruits, apricots, peaches and pears, as
well as evaporated apples and rasp,,
winter is exceedingly bright, says Con-
sul-G eneral Mason, at Berlin, provided
the crop in the United States is suffici-
emily plentiful to furnish large sup
ply at reasonable prices. Mr.. Mason
say that the supply cf dried American
fruits last year was insufficient to meet
the demand of the German market, but
that large contracts have been made by
American merchants, who after attend
ing the Paris Exposition visited the
principal cities of Germany and per-
sonally offered their products to the
more important dealers.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannotireach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by coIstitu-

famed condition of the mucous Innings OF the
Eustachian Tube When this tube gets inhamad
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

Spanish Embezzler.

New York-A dispatch to the Herald

that the amount of money alleged to
have been embezzled by the former
Spanish Minister, Salvador Lopez y
Guijarro, is more than $4,000 The
money belonged to Spanish subjects,
who are very indignant. Lopez received
the funds from the Chilean government
to pay damages sustained by Spaniards
during the revolution in 1920. Hav-
ing presented his papers for retire
ment, the Minister disappeared with

for a walk, accompanied by a little
boy and girl, noticed standing in a
ditch woebegone donkey, and the
little lad, anxious to make Neddy run
on so cold a morning, went up aud
fiicked him with n twig. But Neddy
stood stock still and never moved a
peg. The woman, surprised at shis,
went up to look at the occupant OF the
ditch and discovered that the poor
animal had been frozen fast in the
mud, so that its Indifference to the
boy whip was Immediately explained.
She Immediately returned home and
had man sent to dig the donkey out.
Neddy was removed 20 the stable and
was thawed effectively by the applica-
