An open letter from Mrs. Isobel
Strong, stepdaughter of Robert Louis
Stevenson, comes right upon the heels
of resolutions which congress has
passed against the sale Of liquor and
firearms to uncivilized peoples. Ever
since the Samoan islands came under
the influence Of the United States,
Great Britain and Germany, she says,
an organized effort has been made to
keep drunkenness out. The native rul-
ers have shared this effort. But since
the islands were divided and Tutuils
allotted to the United States, a license
has been issued for a saloon in Page
Page, our harbor there, and the saloon
is under construction. Mrs. Strong
calls attention to the matter because
she believes the people of the United
States may not know what is being
done, and ought to, know. She says
with justice, that to participate II
the international efforts to stop tn,
sale OF liquor among native tribes IL
Central Africa, and to fail to stop 4
when the power is all in our owl
hands. would be a sham affectation o
decency.

more money thrown away, but when
had taken them a week I could see
that they were helping me. The lame
ness / had suffered with for so long Is
nearly all gone. 1t is not a quarter as
bad as 1t was. For years / had to
wear a warm bandage around my fore
head to prevent the pain. Since using
the Pills I have been able to remove
this altogether.
II cannot find words to express m y
heartfelt thanks for Dodd's kindly
Pills for their wonderful cure OF my

How Grant Conquered the Mules.


Maj. j. A. Watrous, ". $. A., tells, IN
the Saturday Evening Post, severai
good stories of Gen. Grant when ne
was a lieutenant in the Mexican war'
One is the mule story. He tried a de-
tall of men and many ropes, but tne
mule got the better of the experiment.
Then this happened:
Returning, he gave orders to take
the next victim to a large rock. 1t was
backed as closely to the obstruction as
possible without actually touching IT.
Half a dozen men were told to hold inc
brute by the head, ears and neck, ana
on no account to let 1t advance fro"
the rock. Then a man was told TO cap
a harness on quickly. As soon as the
buckles began to fasten the mule De-
came restless. Pretty o o 1t made .
sudden lunge and succeeded in getting
Q u feet away from the rock, and then
the fun began. His heels cracheu
against the rock savagely for a shor'
time. 1t was a new experience, anu
apparently, a painful one, for the pa',
tered hind feet were lifted again anu
again. but very gently, and only one a.
a time, while its head shook ana 10
ears Topped. That mule was cureu'
and the problem was solved. The oe-
tail returned to camp late that evenins'
having accomplished its mission-tah
ing the kick out of a drove OF as un-
manageable mules as eve hauled poiN
and bareback.
