MRS. ALICE THRAMER, THE MOTHER
Mrs. Alice Thramer, the mother Of,
the child, testified that she also lived
at Anoka, anc came to- Royalton5
with the children on a Visit, and had
been there over two months. Before
coming to Royalton the child had
not been healthy, and had been more
since coming to Royalton
than before. I had physician for
the child when at home and thought
the child sicker then than at Royal

have called q physician: but my
opinions are not now what they
were then. Ispoke to Mrs. Thramer

like to have him come and pray for
the child that her cold would not
get worse and go to I her lungs.

store and he said he would come
after dinner. He came and prayed
for her, and she was better than she

His Roundabout Way.

A man was going home to his wife
and family. 1t was growing dark. His
road from the station was a lonely
one, and he was getting along as fast
as he could when he suddenly suspect
ed that man behind him was follow
ing him purposely. The faster he went
the faster the man went until they
came to q graveyard.
''Now," he said to himself, ''I'll find
if he's after me-" And he entered the
churchyard.
The man followed him. Vague visions
Of revolvers and garroters grew upon
him. He made a detour of a splendid
mausOleum. Still the man was after
him, round and round.
AT last he turned and faced the fell
low and asked: what the dickens do
you want? What are you following
me for?"
well, sir, do you always go home
like this? I am going up to Mr..
Browns house with a parcel, and the
porter at the station told me that if I'd
follow you L should find the place, as
you live next door. Are you going
home at all tonight ?"-Columbian.

Broken Brio a hraCS.

M. Major, the famous cement man of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cem+nt costs
1915 pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are rothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr. Majors adj
vertlsing, which now amounts to over
$4,000 a month throughout the country
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not &C
cept any off hand advice from druggist.
If you are at al handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are a good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised. at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

HE GOT THE INTERVIEW.
A Story of Amos Cummings and Sec
rotary of State Seward

reI3ry OF state seward.
1t was while Amos Cummings was
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun that he had a memora-
BILE interview with Lincoln's secretary
of state, Seward. Cummings received
orders one day to get certain informa-
ton from Secretary Seward without
fail, and accordingly he went to the
secretary's office to see him. Mr..
Seward did not receive the newspaper
man very cordially.
II won't talk to a representative Of
The Sun on that subject" said the Sec
rotary. Il am very busy. You are
taking up my time, young man, and /
can't be bothered with YOU"
In an instant Cummings was boiling
with anger and hurt pride. He drew
himself up, looked the secretary
straight in the eyes and said:
you forget, sir, that there are three
parties to this interview"
'Three" queried Seward in surprise.
"How do you make that out?'
First, sir, there is you, secretary Of
state and one of the foremost figures
in the world of men of the day; second,
there is the correspondent of the New
York Sun, who has come to you on
perfectly proper errand in the service
of his newspaper, and, third, sir, there
is an American citizen who considers
himself the equal of any man on earth
and who will not be insulted by you or
any man alive"'
The great Seward looked at Cum
mings and smiled.
"Sit down." he said. "and tell me
exactly what you want. young man."
The Sun not only got the news 1t
wanted but also one Of the best inter-
views with Seward ever published.

edict denouncing the Chinese General
for killing Boxers and ordered the

Chow, thirteen miles from Peking was
burned and twenty native Christians
were killed. All hope of rescuing the
five Belgian engineers and one woman
were abandoned. The empress dOwager
appointed anti-fOreign generals to sup
press the Boxers. The French consuls
