rangement was the fact that Count Lams- dorff, Russian minister of foreign affairs
 had informed the British ambassador at St Petersburg that it was the purpose of Russia to arrange the motives vivenda with China with the object of preventing disturbances in the vicinity of the Russian frontier, and that she had no intention of seeking that guarantee in any acquisition of territory or In any actual or virtual protectorate over Manchuria If the doc unent really fell within the language used by Count Lamsdorff, hls majesty S government would certainly not object to il. Until these uncertainties were re- moved Great Britain could not do other wise than E hC ( lo the iCW that China. at a time when she was negotiating with the whole of the powers should simul- taneously enter into a private and sep arate arrangement Involving territorial and financial conditions with another power. That was the language used by the German government. His majesty s government would be tenacious in mat ters of principle. In matters of detail taey realized that they must not always expect to have their own way. They would use their best endeavors to bring the negotia tions to close and terminate a situation which was inconvenient and fraught with danger to all concerned.

MAN DETERMINED
 TO KILL HIMSELF
Laid Down in Front of a Train and Tries to Use a
 Flow Line

Athens, March 29.-(Special.)-A man with determination, it seems, to commit suicide lives near this place. He caused a passenger train to be delayed last week for thirty minutes by lying down in front of the approaching train in the early morning, and the light from the engine gave warning to the man at the throttle that he was about to kill fellow man and the train was brought to a stop and the trainmen alighted expecting to see a crushed and mangled form but found that the fellow was gone, and then search through the woods for parts of his anatomy failed to reveal any fragments, The train moved on to the next telegraph station and wired from there that it was possible a man had been killed near Ath- ems. The man rolled off the track when the engine came to stop within toucn or him and hid for fear of arrest, and then sneaked off to his home. Last afternoon he informed a number of laborers at the cotton factory that at o'clock he was going to leave the troublesome world by the rope route, and they kept watch on him. as he was blowing nearby, and at the appointed time he took a blow line from his mule and retired to the woods nearby, and curiosity caused the men to follow him, and soon he was seen to swing from a limb, with the rope tied se- curely around his neck and to the tree. They rushed up and cut him down before he was injured He stated that the reason for his desire for the end of life was that he was dethroned by another in the af- factions of his wife, and life held no fur ther charm for him. He Is commonly known in this community as Happy Jack" and from whence he and his came or what his name, we know not. But he still lives and may take another course for the unknown soon.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep We'll,

It is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day few simple rules of health.
 The all important thing is to keep the stomach right, and to do this 1t Is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feel ing that certain favorite articles of food must be avoided.
 Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good advice on this subject; he says: "I am 6s years old and have never had serious Illness and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one, but I early dis covered that the way to keep healthy was to keep healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort: on the contrary. I always eat what my appetite craves, but for the past eight years I have made 1t daily prac- tice to take one or two of Stuart's Dys- nepsia Tablets after each meal and I at tribute my robust health for a man of my age to the regular daily use of Stu arts Tablets.
 My physician first advised me to use them because he said they were perfect ly harmless and were not a secret patent medicine. but contained only the natural digestive peptones and diastase, and af- ter using them a few weeks have never ceased to thank him for his advice.
 I honestly believe the habit of taking stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to the we'll and strong
 Men and women past fifty years of age need a safe digestive after meals to in- sure a perfect digestion and to ward off disease. and the safest. best known and most widely used is stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 They are found in every we'll regulated household from Maine to California and in Great Britain and Australia are rap- idly pushing their way into popular favor
 All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets full sized packages, at 50 cents and for a weak stomach fifty-cent pack age will often do fifty dollars worth of good.
