Picking, Feb. 25.-Sir Robert Hart
(chief of the Chinese imperial Gus
toms) has sent the ministers of the
powers strongly worded protest
against the seizure of his property, to
increase the size of the legations area,
which has been taken by Austria,
France, Germany and Italy The lat

which Sir Roberts house was situated.
He says it can only be Chinese govern
ment property in an indefinite sense,
in that during the past 20 years part Of
his salary as Picking official has been
given to him in houses, instead of the
government paying in cash. Sir Rob-
ert also put money into the purchase
Of land, in building houses and in keep
ing them in repair. He considered that,
having lived there for 20 years, he
owned the property absolutely. 1t Is
generally understood in the service
that whoever has lived that long in a
house owned 1t, having purchased it
on rent allowance. He says Italy, es.
pecially, had suitable grounds and that
she had no reason to share in the gen.
eral gratis distribution of lands for the
various legations. Sir Robert also
points to his many years in the service
Of the foreign powers and to his hav-
ing made the customs pay the principal

ternational service, and that he has
even paid the interest on the loane

Elite Rebekah Lodge, No. 2, I. o. O.
F., of this town, came very nearly los
ing their esteemed and capable Sec
rotary, Mrs. Julia A. Mallahan. Mrs.
Mallahan caught severe cold last
winter, and like many. others, failed
to recognize the dangerous POSSIBLE
tiles until it had settled in her kid
neys, and left her with very severe
bearing down pains and almost con-
slant back-ache. It almost carried
her off. Mrs. Mallahan tells the story
this way
II caught cold last winter, which
I neglected until it settled in my kid
neys, causing severe bearing down
pains and almost constant back-ache.
My health had previously been SO
good, that paid little attention to
these symptoms, until the disease
had gone SO far, that my doctor en-
tertained but slight hope of my
recovery.
Fortunately, one Of our Lodge
Members mentioned Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Her description of the cures
they had effected sounded like a fairy
tale, but sent for a box, deciding
to give them a trial. soon found
that she had but half told the story
of what they could do. I bless the
day first tried them, and have moth
ing but the highest praise for them"
Many very valuable lives have been
saved by the timely use of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and not few Of these
have been in Owosso and other neigh

to be no case of kidney trouble or

The worth of a Name.

Polonius' advice, neither a borrower
nor lender be, has deeper applica-
ton than the pocketbook. There are
cases in which to fitch from man his
good name does enrich the thief or
borrower, Shakespeare to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Many questionable
business or political scheme thrives be-
cause an honored name has been fraud
ulently taken, or carelessly lent to
the list of trustees. Many a doubtful
entertainment "goes" because some
prominent lady has disliked to refuse
her name as patron. The conse-
quences of such thoughtless good ma
ture are often humiliating and dis
creditable! Moreover, the private citi-
zen cannot publicly renounce response
bility, as great pianist once did in a
somewhat sensational manner. Won
Bulow had agreed to play certain
piano during tour through the Unit
ed States, and at the first concert OBJ
served large board with the makers
name fastened to the instrument. En-
ragged at this, reminder of his servi-
tude, Won Bulow took counsel with
his violinist and vocalist. In an inter.
val he marched to the platform, un-
hooked the board, threw it on the
floor and stamped upon it. The violin
list solemnly kicked it, and the vocalist
proceeded to dance upon it. The sec
ond part of the programme then went
on.-Youth's COMPANION.

That Strain Again,

For domestic use, the scene of this
story may be changed to suit individ-
ual fancy. Niagara Falls would not
be judicious selection; not that
American ladies cannot talk, but a
moral overdrawn defeats its own pur-
pose. Tourists who go to see Bolton
Abbey, in England, usually push on
to Posforth Gill waterfall, which is
near by. On one occasion an old
guide accompanied a party of very
garrulous ladies' and solitary gen.
tleman to the head Of the gorge
where the water comes down. The
gentleman became somewhat tired
after awhile, possibly from sight
seeing, and remarked: "My good fell
low, how much farther is it yet to
the fall?" "Just a minute or two.

He seemed deeply shocked by this
confession. For several minutes he sat
staring at her dumbly. Presently he
pulled himself together. Later in his
life he recalled his reply and regarded
it in the light of an inspired prophecy.
Jeanne, don't drive me too far" he
said with a sudden firmness that beat
her back into the crafty cautiousness
from which overconfidence had allowed
her to slip. Don't drive me too far.
I have always had an ideal-a woman
who would be above instead of beneath
me in high aspirations, and if anything
should cause me to shake you off, it
will be that you draw me down instead
of upward"
Her face was full of startled concern
for single instant, then she began to
smile upon him.
Leave it all to me, then, Rowland, -
she said. 81 am plotting and planning
for your interest and mine. All ask
of you is to be silent and obey my or
ders. Think of the long years of hap
piness before us. You never could make
me believe that we are doing Blanche
any wrong in making the few remain
ing months of her life happy. She con-
fessed to me that she loved you only a
few minutes ago."
"You are not serious, Jeanne?"
Il never was more so. She has never
had a moments happiness since you
married me. Now, it will be but fair
for me to give you to her while she
lives"
He made no reply. The freight
shone in the face of the enchantress.

did nothing but what mans earliest

AS Blanche went out she saw her
guardian waiting on the first landing
of the stairway, and her heart re-
preached her for remaining so long
with his wife, for she saw that his i'm.

nothing to say as she passed.; his face
was filed with utterances too vague for
