pealing to the country for $500, 600 for
his nstitutlon has not reckoned with

country that is, few Of them, have
shown that the possession of great
wealth is not always country's curse.
Such men as Carnegie, Rockefeller,
and thousands of others who are giving
away millions for the bsneft Of the
masses, prove that wealth is blessing
If used to bless and not simply to pos

using his wealth as the masses would,

preferment must not precede but fol-
low our advancement in the other

Then some fine day restless tickle
fancied beauty will discover that she
has tired of features Of the man she
thought she loved when they were
ground into her white flesh, and sud
denly up will spring a small army OF
skilled operators who will pick out the
Objectionable marks and charge a
pretty penny for the job. The fad will
gradually die out, but the value Oh
tattooing will never be disputed as
long as abduction occupies the atten-
ton Of the wicked. Hosts OF children
could be lost and never traced because
they have 70 distinguishing marks, not
even rnoles, whose location could be re-
menbered. The tattooed places need
not be large or ugly, but they should
be unique to fully answer their pur-
pose. Owing to the use Of cocaine
very little pain goes with the opera
ton, and even delicate children are
not much inconvenienced by 1t.

BRAZIL AT ODDS WITH TWO STATES.
Uruguay Will Dismiss It's Minister-
Protest From Bolivia.


A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Rio Janeiro via Galveston, Tex. says OFF,
cial information of positive character has
confirmed the reports that Uruguay Is
about to sever friendly relations with
Brazil.
1t is admitted that the government at
Montevidio has intimated that 1t will soon
hand his passports TO the Brazilian min
lister.
The cabinet has discussed the attitude of
Uruguay, but In the absence Of definite ac-
ton has not decided what course snail be
pursued
Bolivia also is showing some feeling
against Brazilians. Its minister has pre-
sented a protest against alleged support
given to the Republic of Acre by the au-
thorities Of the state of Amazonas.
The Bolivian minister informed the min
lister of war that the Bolivian troops have
been hampered greatly in their work of sup
pressing the rebellion because supplies have
been received by the insurgents through
Brazilian territory.
Through its soldiers and it's friends hip
With Peru the Bolivian government has
been able to stop war supplies from the
west. Its officers who are endeavoring to
suppress the trouble report, however, that
the rebels. many of whom have come from
the state of Amazonas. have no difficulty
in obtaining munitions by way of the Anna
zon and Purus rivers
Brazil is asked to take decisive measures
in cooperation with Bolivia, to end the re-
beIlion.
