of the court in that case. Beatty
killed a man in cold blood. He was
given fair trial and the verdict
brought in in accordance with the
law and the fact condemned him to
death. That he should sahef the

spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one of the features
of the Park during the season. He

skill with the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and,
it rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed IL ia
put it very mildly. This plucky man.
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such ..
cruel foe.
At last he heard of medicine that
had cured many such cases,-Doddia
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:-"I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else" -

NEVER HASTY AGAIN.
AtOnement Made by Sir Edwin Ar
mold to One He Had Unjustly
ChastiOed.

The affection Of almost total blind
ness has fallen upon Sir Edwin Arnold,
the charming litterateur and world
wide traveller. All the world regrets
this sad blow and sympat hizes with
the victim. Many years ago-it was
back in the '50'sASir Edwin, then plain
Mr.. Arnold, was pedagogue at King
Edwards school, Birmingham. In
those days there used to be placed on
the masters desk an inkstand, roll
book and a stick. The story tells how
the future poet and journalist abol-
ished the stick.
It was sweltering day and the sub
iect of the lesson was "De Amicitia."
With an inattentive pupil the master
lost his temper. The stick descended
and he struck hard. The culprit pro.
tested that it was the unprovoked as
sault of a next-door neighbor which
had caused his thoughts to stray. The
next-door neighbor confessed and the
victims assailant was chilled with re-
morse. Calling the boy out, he
handed him the stick and ordered
the boy to strike him-the master
Imperatively commanded, the boy
obeyed, and the stick was never more
ueed &hepceforwaFd.
