Child Travels Alone From Germany
To Ohio.

Almost completely covered with tags,
all alone, and without knowledge of a
single word of English, Marie Ritter, a
pretty little fiaxen-ha German,
arrived in Cincinnati Thanksgiving
morning, after an eleven days journey
from her home in the Fatherland.
About eight years ago Freda Ritter
came to this country from her home
near Stuttgart.
For year past she has been employ
ed as laundress at the Palace Hotel
She finally sent word for Marie to join
her in this city. Marie's relatives ac-
companied her from Stuttgart to Ant
werp, where she was placed on the
steamer Zealand. AS she could not
speak English her transportation was
purchased clear through from Antwerp
to Cincinnati and tag attached to hel
dress bearing her name and destina'
ton.
When she arrived in New York and
passed the CustOm-house another tag
was attached, and this was repeated
with each transfer, until she arrived
at the Grand Central Depot in Gin
cinnati. Her dress was covered with
tags and train checks. A cabmar
read the tags and took her to her sistel
at the Palace Hotel. Marie is Is years
old, and will seek a position in thai
city.

Take care of the stomach and the
health will take care of itself. Ii
people only realized the soundness of
that statement the majority might live
to a good old age like Moses, 'the eye
undimmed, the natural force unabat-
ed.T 1t is in the stomach that the
blood is made. 1t is from the stomach
that nourishment is dispensed to nerve
and music. If the stomach is ''Weak"
it can't do it's whole work for each
part of the body. If it is diseased the
disease will taint the nourishment
which is distributed. and so spread dis
ease throughout the body. Itwas the
realization of the Importance of the
stomach as the very center of health
and the common source of disease,
which led DIR. Pierce to prepare his
Golden Medical Discovery" ''Dis-
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach. u
The soundness of this theory is proved
every day by cures OF diseased organs,
heart, liver, lungs, blood.-by the use
of the "Discovery" which is solely and
singly medicine for the blood and
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
is a temperance medicine containin G
no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant.

The
Pace
That
ellis.

In the six day bicycle races the pace
tells terribly at the end. Man after
man falls out exhausted. The victor
wabbles YEARLY over the line. In the
business race it's the same Man after
man drops out exhausted. The success
flu man is often dyspeptic, unable to
enjoy success. When the stomach is
diseased there is not enough nutrition
assimilated to sustain the body and re-
pair the daily waste of tissues. The
result is weakness, tending to collapse.
DIR. Piercs's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
enables the perfect assimilation of food
by which the body is built up with
sound, healthy flesh.

| LONDON PAYS WELL
FOR VIRGINIA PEARS
How the Agriculture Department Led to
Big Shipment.

Senator 3. l. Lupton, of Frederick,
is one of the most prosperous and en-
thusiastic fruit growers in the State,
and be is more than pleased at a recent
experience he has had in shipping
Keifer pears to the English market.
"Yes,n said the Senator to a News
reporter, Il had shipment of pears to
London that was entirely satisfactory.
1 shipped, Oct. 10, $50 barrels of pears.
An agent from the agricultural depart
ment came to me and said that if l
would pack my fruit and allow an in
spection that the government would
put on a stamp showing that it had
been inspected.
1.-The reason for this was that much
of the fruit sent from this country is
sold subject to rejectidns, due to the
fact that there is no standard in this
country, while in other countries there
is standard and the inspection is a
guarantee that the fruit is of certain
grade. I packed the pears as all my
fruit is packed, the inspector affixed
bis stamp and away the fruit went.
II was informed by the agricultural
department the other day that the
pears reached London when the mark
ct was full, and that 1.5OO barrels were
on sale when my shipment arrived, but
when my pears were offered they found
ready sale at Sc a barrel, netting me
81 So barrel. That is a pretty fair
price, l think.
"Had known in time, could have
bought Keifer pears in my county for
81. .25 barrel. There is money in fruit,
and l am glad to see that the agricul-
tural department is bending it's ener-
gies to fix a standard and to foster the
industry. 1 am willing to do anything
in my power to assist in the movement.
There Is another fact in connection
with the shipment of pears which l
omitted. The fruit was not the best
I have grown. 1t was what we call
'smOky'-Was not clear golden yel-
low, and had l been able to select the
fruit it would have netted me 81 to
81. a barrel more. The size was all
right, as was the flavor, but the color
was little off, as was all the fruit in
my section this year.
Attention to fruit growing will pay
IN Virginia, and is one of the most
profitable industries in which the peo-
pie can engage. ."-RichmonG News.

THE ONLY FOUR CORNERS.
Where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and
Arizona Meet.

It may seem a broad statement to
one who hears it for the first time that
the only place where four States,
Territories, or provinces join, is that
point where Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico, and Arizona meet Not only
is this the ouly -four corners'' in the
United States, but it is the only ''cOrn-
err of its kind in the world.
Although the locality is unique in
this respect. it is not often visited, as
it is not easy of access. Few tourists
care to endure the hardships of q
pilgrimage to see the monument which
marks the spOt.-The stone was erect
ed by the United States Government
surveyors, and Is similar to those used
to mark other boundary lines. On q
simple shaft in the centre of the rocks
are inscribed the names of the States
and Territories which touch the spot.
The monument is reached by train
which leads from the road between
Navajo Springs and Aneth, Utah.
The trail leaves the read near Scott's
trading post, close to the Utah line, and
crosses the San Juan river. Then its
course is along spur of the Corriza
Mountains until it comes to the top of
the spur, where the shaft is situated.
1t is in the midst of country once
densely populated by the cliff dwellers.
The ruins of their homes are all about
this section. The point is nearly
hundred miles from Mancos, Col, the
nearest railroad town. Were is not for
the rocks, a wagon could be placed SO
that the four wheels would be in as
many different States.
This monument was destroyed few
years ago by the Navajos, but was re-
built last Summer.-St. Louis Re-

Need for Storage Reservoirs.

The storage of most of the spring
waters which would otherwise go to
waste has come to be one of the neces-
stiles of the western states. In past
years water was considered important
largely in connection with the limited
amount of land then under irrigation,
but so rapidly have the demands of IT,
rigation advanced and so greatly is
water needed, not only for this but for
other new purposes as we'll, such as
cheap power to generate electricity and
for town and city supply, that.it has
now become question of saving all the
water of the streams, that of the freshet
season in the Springs as much as pos
sible as well as the Summers flow to
meet the increasing demands. This
must be done by the construction of
large storage reservoirs, and already
great activity is being shown in the
western states and especially in Cali
fornia, in making preliminary surveys
for these necessary and important un-
dertakings.
The United States Geological Survey
has recently published, in it's interest
ing series of Water Supply and Irriga
tion Papers. the results of one Of these
Investigations looking to the storage of
water in the Valley of Cache Greek, one
of the important agricultural and fruit
raising districts near Sacramento noted
for its fertility and productiveness.
The basin of this stream is also of con-
siderable additional Importance as it
contains as the head waters of Cache
Creek. the beautiful body of water
known as Clear Lake situated in the
heart Of the Coast Range, at an eleva-
tion of over 1900 feet above sea level.
The purity of its waters and it's relative
nearness to San Francisco make it's
storage possibilities as probable sup
ply for that city of considerable value.

The Coronation Robes.

The designs for the coronation robes
have finally been decided upon. King
Edward will wear cloth of gold un.
der jacket embroidered with palm
branches and the shamrock, rose, and
thistle. On the Kings stole the cross
of st. George, the royal crown, and
the rose, shamrock, and thistle will be
woven in gold thread. His cape will
be a magnificent garment, decorated
with silver eagles and fiuer de-lis and
and the national floral emblems.
The Queen will wear robes almost
exactly similar to those of Queen
Adelaide, which will be brought to
Marlborough House from Brodie Cas-
tie, where they are kept as heirlooms.
In spite of their age they are found to
be in excellent condition. They are of
black velvet, manufactured on hand
looms, elaborately embroidered and
laced, having gold trimmings, and with
huge, hanging sleeves.
The coronation rites will last four
hours. After the sacrament has been
administered to the King be will dis
card the Church vestments and put on
bis State robes.
Over three thousand precious stones.
diamonds, pearls, rubies, sapphires,
and emeralds will be included in the
Kings crown. There will be 1850
pure white diamonds and 1.270 rose
diamonds. The historic ruby which
King of Castle gave to the Black Prince
in 1867, and which was subsequently
worn by Henry ", at Agincourt, is in
the centre of the crown, placed in the
heart of Maltese cross.

Red Blanket, Chippewa Chief, Tells

Chippewa tribe, accompanied by sub.
chief, Nah Che Cav Bow, Man Whe.
Moves Standing and an interpreter, ap.
peared before Governor Van Zant to
protest against the manner in which, as
Red Blanket asserted, the Chlppewas
are being defrauded by timber cutters
on the reservation. Red Blanket de-
clared, through the interpreter. that
white and halfbreed mbermen are
now destroying the reservation timber
by assuming to act under the provisions
of the law permitting certain persons to
cut the dead and down" timber.
Red Blanket also said that, although
the Indians have been allotted land in
severalty, several of the men don t
know where their allotments are situ-
ated and cannot find out.
Nah Che. Cau- Bow said that the tribe
supposed that the fullblood Indians
weuld secure work cutting the timber.
The work, however, had all been given
to halfbreeds and squawmen. More
over, the lumbermen had cut large
quantities of green timber, in place of
the dead and down timber.

Treaty, Ceding Manchuria.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of Prince Ii Hung
Chang from Pektng for Shanghai, the
officials are inclined to believe it is true
and that Ii Hung Chang is really leav-
ing Peking for good and because the
emperor is displeased with his conduct
OF the negotiations.
1t was known here that when Ii
Hung Chang was one Of the peace en-
yoys he was a pro- Russian in sentiment,
but there was no cause for complaint on
that score until the Manchurlan agree
ment came up for reconsideration.
Now it is believed by officials here
that Ii has proved so earnest an advo.
cate of the Russian cause and has SO
strenuously worked for the signature of
the agreement that his own government
has felt obliged to deprive him of power
to further that agreement.
Ii this understanding is correct, it is
believed that an effectual check has
been administered to Russias designs
upon Manchuria, for it is thought the
emperor of China would scarcely have
acted III this summary fashion had he
not received assurances Of support from
other powers.
