closely and found that Henning Pre-
torious' description of her was accu-
rate in every detail. The woman had
light, soft hair thin lips, blue eyes and
a complexion as light as that of the
majority of white persons who have
lived in the tropics FOR many years.
Many persons have attempted to ex-
plain the mystery of the queens an
cestry and the result has been that
many strange tales are current in the
country, each being heralded as the
true solution. The most plausible the
ory is the one that General Joubert ad-
vanced. From some old chieftans he
learned that there was a tradition
among the Meakatese that many gen.
erations ago a large number of white
men had come into the Zambesi region
to dig gold. These men incurred the
enmity of the blacks, who massacred
all except one or two. General Jou-
bert believed, as did the chieftans,
that Majaje WIS the descendant of one
Of these survivors, but the native ira
dltion does not explain the process by
which she rose to the position of ruler
of the tribe. Proof of the fact that
gold was dug in that neighborhood
has been found in scores of places
along the Zambesie. where in recent
years many old shafts have been I'M
overed.-Howard C. Hillegas, in New

FOR WOMEN ONLY.
Free Treatment During Hot Weather
by DIR. Hartman.

BY the assistance of an experienced stan
OF physicians, DIR. Hartman proposes to
direct the treatment of several thousand
women, who for one reason or another are
ailing.
Each patient sends name symptoms ana
a short description of previous treatment,
and are entered in the doctors books as
regular patients.
The treatment is directed from time to
time as mey be found necessary by the doc
tor, without charge. Every letter and name
is held strictly confidential, and in no case
will any one be published except by the ex-
press wish of the patient herself.
These cases are treated with the same care
and fidelity as the private patients OF a reg
ular family physician. During the past year
large number of cases have been cured.
Every item OF the treatment Ia directed, for
which no charge whatever Is made.
Address DR.. Hartman, President of The
Hartman Sanitarlum, Columbus, Ohio, for
free treatment.

stefan. She cannot bring herself to
tell everything, and the physician is
at constant disadvantage. This is
why, for the past twenty-five years,
thousands of women have been con-
fiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham,
and whose advice has brought happi-
ness and health to countless women in
the United States.
Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, Ill,
whose portrait we publish, advises all
suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink
hams advice and use Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, as they
cured her of inflammation of the ovaries
and womb; she, therefore, speaks from
knowledge, and her experience ought
to give Others confidence. Mrs. Pink
hams address is Lynn, Mass, and her
advice is absolutely free.

TREE WHICH OWNS ITSELF.
A Magnificent Oak That Has Become
Property Holder.

Property Holder.
Athens, Ca, has one remarkable
tree, said congressman of that state.
This is tree which is property
holder. The records at the county
courthouse shows deeds conveying the
tree and all the land within eight feet
Of * to the tree.
1t is magnificent oak and seems to
stand straighter and hold its head
more proudly than any of the trees
around it. Certainly, it is ranked
above the common trees of the world.
for it cannot be touched against it's
will; that is if the conditions of the
deed are carried out.
The facts are these: Many years
ago, Colonel w. II. Jackson watched
its growth, and when he saw it stand
ing in its magnificent proportions he
was panied to think that after his
death it might fall into the hands of
people who would destroy it. Believ-
ing that the only way to save the tree
from the AK of the woodsman was to
deed the tree to itself, he did so, hav-
ing a deed recorded in the clerks Of
fee, witnessing that "for and in con-
sideration of the great love bear said
tree (giying its location), and a great
desire that the said tree be protected
for all time, I convey to said oak tree
entire possession of itself and all land
within eight feet of 1t on all Sides"
Now, suppose that this tree is
about the only one in this country
which belongs wholly to itself. If
there is another anywhere, have
never heard of it.-New York Sun.

ENGLAND FEARS AMERICA.

The remarks made by the Earl Of
Roseberry at banquet in London
last week when speaking on "The
Great Commercial Warfare being
waged against England" have at
tracted widespread attention.
"The chief rivals to be feared" "
said his lordship, "are America and
Germany. The Americans with their
vastiand almostincalculable resources,
their acuteness and enterprise and
their huge population which will prob
ably be 1OO,OOO,O0O in twenty years,
together with the plans they have
adopted for putting accumulated
wealth into great cooperative syn
dicates or trusts for the purpose of
carrying on this great commercial
warfare are perhaps the most formid-
able.
ION the other hand the Germans
with their calculating and conq1ering
spirit and the energy with which they
seize and use the best and most econ
omical methods are but little less re-
doubtable than the Americans.
''The Americans, scarcely satisfied
with gigantic individual fortunes, use
these by combination to make of cap
ital a power, which, welded by one
or two minds, is almost irresistible;
and if this power is concentrated
against Great Britain in trade warfare
it will be a danger we cannot afford
to disregard.
GA trust of many millions might
compete with any trade in England
underselling all her products at a con-
siderable loss. This is possible out
come of the immediate future.''

Death of Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria Of England died last
Tuesday and her son, Albert Edward,
is king under the title Of Edward VII.
Queen Victoria was born May "a, 1919
and was made queen in 1887. In 1910
she married Albert Edward. The
present king was born in 1871. Under
Victoria's reign England has seen
great prosperity and it's prestige and
power has been greatly increased.
Though the country has seen many
wars her influence has always been
found on the side of peace and during
our civil war she did much to avert
what seemed at one time might lead
to war between the two countries.
Her influence was also felt in every
court in Europe and was always on
the side of justice. The political views
of the new king and what course he
will pursue are practically unknown.

Case of Mildred Brewster.

States Attorney R. A. Hoar of
Washington county has received
word from the superintendent Of the
state asylum for the insane at Water
bury that the supervisor of the insane
has instructed him to discharge Mil
dred Brewster as cured. Three years
ago last May Miss Brewster shot and
killed Annie Wheeler IN Montpelier.
She was tried for murder at the fol-
lowing September term Of court. The
verdict Of the jury that tried her was
'not guilty by reason Of insanity"
Miss Brewster was committed to the
asylum by order of the court and the
question has arisen whether she can
be released without a similar order,
although at the same time the super
visors have authority to order the
release of patients.
