would come TO that child on his

wish that Jane had been less consci-

He strode rapidly along and soon

The Beauty Show.

One of the most delightful and absorb
ing features of the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo will be the great
Pan-American beauty contest.
Inhabitants of all parts of this coun-
try are sending in photographs and pic
lures of the women they consider most
worthy to be pronounced the most beau
tiful in the United States.
The perilous task of giving decision
will be entrusted to a commission of dis.
tinguished artists from all parts of the
United States. This commission has not
yet been completed. The difficulty
which confronts these artists seems in
surmountable, but they hope that gen.
tlemen who send in photographs win be
restrained from Indignation by the
knowledge that many supremely beau-
tiful women must be among the re-
jected and by a patriotic pride in ti1s.
vastness and resources of their country.
Think of all the types of beauty In
this wide land. It dazzles the magma
ton. There is the dangerous daughter
of the cavaliers in the old south, the
sweet, demure Puritan maid of New
England, the lovely dark-eyed Creole ct
Louisiana, the glorious daughter of the
Golden West. These are but a few of
these heart-breaking beauties.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using anything
else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doc
tors We're scarce, and they seldom heard
of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested, food, regu-
late the action Of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower. in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

SMALL DEBT FOR
CUBAN REPUBLIC
Independent Islands Will Begin Bust

of $l22,2O
Senior Guerra, Former Treasurer of the
Revolutionary Government,
Gives Figures.
(By Associated PreSS,)

Washington, July 15.-Independent
Cuba will begin business with bonded
Indebtedness of only $122,20O, resulting
from claims pledged by the revolutions
airy government during the war with
Spain
There has been considerable doubt as
to the amount Of this indebtedness, but
unless some of the bonds were issued
just before or since the intervention Of
the United States the figures are corr
rect.
Representative Alden Smith of Mich:-
gan has just made public letter which
he received from Senior Guerra, treas.
urer of the revolutionary government,
just before the beginning of the war be-
tween the United States and Spain.
which has never been communicated to
anyone except the members Of the for
eign affairs committee OF the house Of
representatives.
In this letter Senior Guerra says the
revolutionary government issued bonds
to the amount of $3,145, 500 and that the
total of the bonds disposed Of was $12s,-
2oo leaving bonds to the amount Of
$s,o2s. 400 in his hands.
