HAPPY IN THEIR THRIFT.

LET me tell you story Of human In
terest'' said a real estate man yesterday
to q reporter for the Star. "A few months
ago a man and his wife, people to whom
nothing has come without much labor came
to my office and made the first payment
occupying as tenants. They were very happy
to be able to buy their home and the way
they laughed and talked Of the sacrifices
they had made to accomplish 1t stopped the
work Of every clerk in the Office and some-
how made us feel as though the sun werO
shining through the windows, although the
day was dark outside.
..In a few days, when we had about for
gotten the transaction, we were surprised
with a visit from the old wife. Do you
know, she said to me after glancing about
to see that we were alone, do you know.
I've been thinking that l can save enough
money from my allowance to buy that
50-foot lot adjoining ours on the south. It
will make such a splendid playground for
the children and l can have it about paid
for when our house IL decided to us clear.
It will be so good for the children she
continued, quietly, and then, after a pause.
and it will surprise Henry, too Well. We
closed the deal for the lot on the south and
she went away happy. 1t was beautiful
scheme, we thought, and one in which, from
business motives, we took much interest.
But that isn't all.
IA few days ago the old man came in.

the story we'll by this time and had peen

on the street demanded their attention ard
one was trying to rub some dust from her
eyes. All right l said, you can have it.
Now. you may not believe IT, the real es-

LOOTING IN CHINA.
Allies Took Things "Undcr the Natu-
ral Law of Conquest"

rus AsASv Va SVAIeC"~s
do not propose to apologize for the
lccting that was dcne in China If I did
I should have to begin with the Chinese
themselves. In every town from Taku to
Fekin the first evidence Of looting bore the
imprint of Chinese enterprise. AS the al
lied troops advanced, vast caravans of
carts and coolies made away with the wealth
and treasures of the cities. The troops in
yariably conquered half-destroyed and sys-
tematica1ly looted towns. To protect the
deserted territory has required an army it
self, and to leave 1t untouched but offered
a further field of operation for the refugee
Chinese who soon came back.
In Tien Tsin nothing was too insignificant
for the Chinese to loot. They carried away
their neighbors' doors, the partitions to
their rooms. and the titles of their houses.
In Pekin similar tactics were attempted,
but the fight from the capital was too
precipitate to permit the Inhabitants to do
the job thoroughly. They burned some of
their most sacred and lancient buildings,
and carried away all THAT horse and man
could transport. What was left of value
the silver, jade, silks,4nnd furs-the allies
took under the natural slaw Of conquest.
1t was contraband Of war and there was no
secret made of the job. &
The English, under war orders, system
atically gathered in the furs, ornaments,
and furniture from 4he house in their
quarter and sold 1t atDpuhlic auction. The
Japanese devoted theiE energies largely to
gold, silver and munition of war. which
they shipped to Japan. giving the private
free rein to collect souvenirs. The Rus
SLAMS officially ignored lDoting, and every
one helped himself. EhH Americans both
recognized and ignored the proposition.
Much loot was gathered dn and shipped to
Shanghai and the Philippines and sold to
the highest bidder. The French took what
they could get. The method Of the Ger
mans was questionable; they came late,
and organized punitive expeditions. But I
think the punishment they administered
will rebound to the lasting benefit OF
civilization.-Leslie's Weekly.

Dsar sir:-BeiieYing It to be my duty
70 the public will send you TOR publi-
cation (H you 20 elect) an account Of the
psnedt myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
Last fall caught heavy cold and
could not break it up, ana 1t resulted in
catarrh in the head. It kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; 1t bothered me to breathe; was
gaising large quantities Of phlegm and
was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t so happened was delegate
TO the State Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union. last winter, and the last
evening Of the session, had been at
q committee meeting, and Eric Olson,
state lecturer of F. A. & I. g.. was pres
ent, and just as we were parting he
took out of his pocket a little box and
commenced putting something into his
nostrils. asked him what Il was: he
anid It was Dead Shot to Catarrh.
asked him II 1t was good for It; he said
It had been highly recommended to him.
I told him I had been suffering with
catarrh for some time and asked him to
let me try it; he did so and took the

Dukes, of Minneapolis. The next morn
ing found 1t had helped me very much.
When I got home l sat right down and
sent in an order for one-half dozen
boxes, and before l had used half Of one
box I was cured. The ringing in my
ears had stopped, and it had cleaned
out my lungs. l could feel the accumu-
htion in my lungs loosen and raised |:
in chunks. My daughter, Gladys, has
had catarrh for long time; we have
tried several remedies, AND among them
DR.. Halls great remedy, that he offered
to give 500 for any case 1t will not
cure. She used several bottles and got
no relief. She bled at the uose con-

was stopped and she was almost we'll.
I have sold good many dozen boxes In
this section and have got to find one
person that has used IL who Is not con-
vinced that 1t is the only remedy that
will cure catarrh. thereby preventing SO
many from dying with consumution.
Everyone who uses 1t tries to keep it IN
the house, as it Is sure cure for cold
as soon as 1t is contracted. l am con-
vinced that after person has once had

brane of the nose will never get natural

susceptible to colds and :atarrh; but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always on

it. Please send me two dozen boxes.

Iowa Pioneers Tell a Weird Tale Con.
cerning Lost Sarah.

cerning n Lost Sarah.
ROCHESTER,, Iowa.-Among the oldest
residents of this little town there is an
amusing piece of gossip going the rounds.
1t Is declared by the pioneers who came
to Iowa when the buffalo still roamed over
the prairies that Sarah Bernhardt was once
a resident of Rochester. Half a dozen men
have recognized her, they declare. In the
impersonator Of LAlgion they have seen
Sal King, known to them over four decades
ago. OF course, this announcement would
be more startling IL the early life of the
famous actress was not a matter of history
In which Iowa has no part, but the residents
snap their fingers at all the printed biog-
raphies OF the famous French woman. Thus
far they have not claimed CoQuelin, but
they may discover he is a relative
Forty-fve years ago Rochester was the
metropolis OF eastern Iowa. 1t is located on
the Cedar river, which then afforded COM
munication with the Mississippi and blnuglt
Rochester into touch with the world that
could not then be reached by rail. Among
the newcomers who ~flocked to the little
Western town was French Canadian fam
lily of the name of King The Oldest
daughter in the family bore the maine Of
Sarah, but her schoolmates adopted the more
familiar "Sal." And Sal is said to be the
girl who developed into the inimitable
bernhardt. few relatives of Sarah King
still live near Rochester and they are posi-
tive In their statement that she and the
great French woman are the same person
Fred Finefeld, nephew of Sarah King
has seen the tragedienne, and he AYERS
that there Is no possibility Of his being
mistaken as to her identity.
Forty years ago Sal King left Rochester
and none of her relatives have heard from
her since. She was girl CT 10 or &c years
old at the time she went away. When ex-
hibitions were held in the little school
house in old Rochester, Sal King was al
ways the star performer. Other pupils re-
cited poetry Of the period and took kindly
to the selections given in the we'll thumb
ed copies of McGuffey's sixth reader but
Sal King learned portions of Shakespeare 8
tragedies and reveled in such excerpts as
the "blood-spot scene from 'Macbe1h.'' -
When pupils gave the dialogue SO popular
in the school days OF our fathers, Sal WAS
always stage director and abe handled her
pygmy actors with AAuahtY txyra1ny.

FRENCH GENERAL
BACK FROM CHINA

LONDON. Sept. PA dispatch to the
Times from Marseilles says there have
been great rejoicings there this week
over the return of General Voyron, one
of the French general staff, which took
part in the expedition to China.
General Voyron has been much affect
ed by the attentions shown to him, espe-
cially by his promotion to the rank of
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.
All the members of the general staff
are optimistic regarding China's imme-
date future. They believe that the Chi
nese now comprehend that Europe is a
force to be reckoned with. and that a
long reign of peace will be the result of
this. The foreign military contingents re-
naming in China are said to be ample
to preserve tranquility.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
quotes an interview with General Voy-
ron by a representative of the Temps.
The general praised Field Marshal Count
Won WaIdersee and the Russians, and
also said that the relations between him.
self and the British commanders were
cordial. The British, however, had much
more in common with the Americans.
The British troops included a detachment
of Sikhs whom the French do not re-
gard as soldiers.

much mere common than it should be

The lady's appetite failed, and, as
might be expected. she got weak from
want of her proper food. 1t was, there
fore, a hard task Il mean the ordinary
home work. it was a hard task to dc
even the easiest part of it.
In letter which she was good enough
to write on the 2Srd of April OF this
year u9Oo), Mrs. Saunderson says:-"I

THE LITTLE WHITE CORDS.

Those little white cords called nerves
the human body is full of them. The
brain is the nervous centre, and from
it the nerves run out to almost every
point in the system, somewhat as tele-
graph wires radiate from great city
like London.
In some way, which no man is sun
ming enough to understand, the nerves
are conductors of sensation and of pow
or. You have no doubt seen cases of
more or less complete paralysis. Some
times they are so dreadful and shock
ing that one turns from the sight in
disgust and horror.
Yet to the action of the nerves we
owe all our feelings of pleasure. With
out them we should be insensate and
helpless as logs of wood. Nay, worse.
we should have no life at all; not even
the life of a creeping vine or of sleepy
oyster.
a man may have the bullying and
knotted muscles of a prive fighter, but
unless his nerves operate naturally he
has no strength You see it, it all comes
from the head as the electric current
comes from a battery.
Now the nerves, if we hope to keep
them in order must be fed-just as the
rest of the body must be. Weak nerves
always cause pain or some other sort
of discomfort or distress.
This is why Mrs. A. Saunderson, who
lives at 81 Brown street, Adelaide, 5. A
/ had so miserable a time from neuralgia
for nearly nine years, The pain was
