THE LATE DIR. KELLEY.

The late DR.. Leslie e. Kelley was
native of st. Lawrence county, N. T.,
where he was born sixty-eight years
ago. He went through the civil war as
an army surgeon and then settled
down to the practice of medicine in the
little town of Dwight, III. According
to his own story. he devoted all his
energies to the study of drunkenness
as a. disease, and after numerous ex-
periments devised what he termed a
cure. He opened sanitarium at
Dwight and patients soon began flock
ing to it. Controversies ragged about
his cure. Many physicians scoffed at
it. But the remarkable faith shown IN
him by a large majority who had TAX
en- his cure soon brought about d
change in public opinion concerning
him. and he became an object OF re-
spectful professional consideration not
withstanding that his treatment was

REV. WILSON CARLlLE.
army are in Edgware road, in Hyde
Park, London, and here large force
of employees are constantly at work.
One of the most important things per-
formed by the army is the work IN
prisons and poorhouses and the sys-
tenn of working homes" The Church
army has official permission to get at
the prisoners, and the additional con-
cession that no prison official need be
present during the interviews with the
prisoners.
In the course of these interviews the
prisoner is told, not how wicked and
irredeemable he is, but what mistake
he has made in adopting life of idle
ness and worry instead of one of THRIFT
and content. If he realizes the truth of
this, they ask him if he would like to
earn an honest living after he comes
out of prison. If, after all their efforts,
he doesn't, he is let alone, but If he
does the Church army receives him,
when his term expires, into one of its
working homes. of which there are l02
in Great Britain. When a man enters
the home he begins to chop firewood
and to draw salary at the rate of about
$3.50 a week. For his board-four
meals a day-and lodging they charge
him $780, he gets % cents pocket
money and the rest is banked for him.
Religion is not pressed upon him too
sharply; he attends morning and even
ing prayer, but when work is done he
can smoke and play checkers or domi-
noes. The first thing aimed at is that
these "homes" should be as much like
a home as possible. The man and
woman in charge of them are callel
the mother" and father and no
more than twenty-five dodgers are
permitted in each, for the reason that
it is possible, if the number is limited
in this way, to know each man.

American prospectors have searched
the province of Bengnet, in the Philip
pines, and have found many paying
gold fields. Igorrottes everywhere in
the interior on high elevations are
working good, small quartz wins, and
in some places in very primitive style.
Much territory belonging to the savage
head hunters" was never explored BY
the Spanish. Copper and gold, iron
and Ignite are sure to be developed by

Allen joke ON the Senate.

A resolution expressing sympathy
for the Beers in their struggle against
Great Britain and urging mediation on
the part Of the United States between
the belligerents was adopted the other
day by the senate without having at
tracted comment from any one of the
dozen or more senators present. A
minute later. at the request of the
chair (Mr. Frye) Mr.. Allen consented
to Reconsideration of the vote. by
which the resolution was passed, and
the incident closed amid quiet laugh,

Once a second lieutenant Of Ameri-
can regulars was up for examination
for promotion. One Of the questions
asked of him by grizzled member OF
the board was this:
IF you were out scouting and hill
should suddenly rise up before you
what would you do?"
I'D run like HI" said the lieuten-
ant, promptly, who added, II wouldn't
want to stay in country where hills
are liable to rise up like that"
These are the kind of hills or kops
that confront the Tommies in South
Africa. And the Tommies run like
HI" too, only being brave men in
actual warfare, they run mostly to-
ward the top of the hills. These hills,
many of them, are about as nearly per-
pendicular on all sides as they can be
without topping over. The particular
hill in this picture is Coleskop, in the
Colesberg district, and the scene was
sketched by G. D. Giles, war artist Of
the London Graphic. Coleskop jumps
straight out of the plain a thousand
feet and more into the air, and COM
mands the entire surrounding country.
1t was seized by the British, who i'm
mediately made plans to fortify it.
BY infinite hard labor and persever-
rance two fifteen-pound field guns
were dragged to the summit. But the
guns are useless without continuous
and unfailing supply of ammunition.
To save the labor of carrying shot and
shell up by hand, the engineers con-
structed an endless belt of bridging
wire. This wire can stand a strain

of 1000 pounds, and each load of am
munition and water which was sent up
there weighed forty pounds. The
length of one span from top to bot
tom, was 400 feet, and so it may be
guessed, what the perpendicular height
Of the hill Is.
After holding the hill for some time
with small detachment the British
found themselves greatly outnumbered
by the Beers, and were obliged to
abandon the position.

WHAT THE KELLEY CURE WILL
DO

Plainly stated. it will cure man of
the whiskey and opium additions, if
the treatment is conscentiously taken. IL
a man wants to be cured, he can be
cured at the Greensboro Institute. If
he does not want to be cured, he will
be wasting time to go there or anywhere
else. The Kelley Cure does not claim
to put a man in such condition that it
will be impossible for him to drink again.
The Creator could not do that and let
IMAM be q free agent. But the Kelley
Cure does claim to take away all desire
for drink and drugs and leaves man
in the same condition that he was before
he became addicted to the use of whis-
key or drugs. All thirst will be gone.
