to the family just before bedtime 1 like
these little surprises and so do they. l
found the cat locked u1 in the pantry
and put her out, and then pushed the
door to to keep her out while was get
ting the apples. 1t is a curious door lock-
for il has no knob on the inside. and l
soon found that the cat was locked out
and l was locked in. / raped and banged
for awhile for somebody to hear me and
come, but nobody came. Then / knocked
harder and halloed louder, but to no eff
feet. Then / kicked the door and made
all sorts of a racket. but nobody came
So l concluded they heard me, but
thought it was good fun to keep me in
prison and give me time to reflect on my
past life and the value of freedom in this
land of liberty. But | didn't ponder long
on those things. l was perplexed but al
ter while thought of my knife as a screw
driver and soon had the hasp off and
was out of prison. Didn't you all hear
me?' / inquired. Yes, we heard you
knocking. What were you doing out
there?" said my wife. They thought
was fixing or mending something, and
did not hear my voice, for there were
two rooms and hall between us and all
the doors shut. / distributed the apples
and everything was soon calm andS Sc
rene. but l have an increased horror of
being put in iail and / am going to be-
have myself and keep out
Monday night we heard Mrs. Sheridan
sing and it was feast. We have known
her from her childhood. when she wore
panteletts and pinafores and went to
school in Rome with my children, could
not realize that this was or ever had
been little Sarah Mcdonald who used to
play and romp and scream like other
children, but in her early youth she
heard prima donna sing and resolved
to be a great singer, too. The Scotch
Irish blood was in her veins and she sue
ceeded. Her father and mother were
poor, but that made no difference. They
had faith-religious faith-Bible faith
and named their four boys, Matthew
Mark. Luke and John and their three
daughters Mary, Martha and Sarah
Mark and Luke are living in Rome yet
and have prospered. Sarah CHANGED to
visit Philadelphia some years ago and
by request sang one Sabbath at little
mission church that was founded by
John Wannamaker. He was there and
heard her and took a great liking to her
and helped her to visit Europe to have
her voice trained. She soon found other
friends, who have befriended her and
lavished upon her their aid and bless
ing.
AS listened to her singing those sweet
old Scottish songs / wondered if there
were not many Just such female voices
in that audience and all thew lacked was
culture and determination. / recalled
Gray's beautiful lines
Full many gem of purest ray serene,
The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean
bear: #
Full many flower is born to blush un-
seen
And waste it's sweetness on the desert
air. BILL ARP.

THE OLD WAY.
OF Treating Stomach Trouble and Indiges
ton, Barbarous and Useless One.

OF Treating Stomach Trouble and Indiges-
ton, Barbarous and Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it is the
common and usual one at the present time
and many dyspeptics, and physicians as
well, consider the first step in attempting
to cure indigestion is to diet, either by Sc
lecting certain food and rejecting others
or to greatly diminish the quantity of
food usually taken.
In other words the starvation plan is by
many, supposed to be the first essential
in the cure of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure of the star
walton cure for stomach trouble has been
proven time and again, but still the usual
advice, when dyspepsia makes it's appear
ance, is course of dieting.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend dieting
or starvation to a person suffering from
dyspepsia because Indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
fibre in the body.
What is needed is abundant nutrition,
not less, and this means plenty of good,
wholesome, well-ccoked food ano some
natural digestive to assist the weak stom-
ach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuarts Dyspepsia TIA bets are adapted
and this is the way they cure the worst
cases of stomach trouble.
me patient eats plenty of wholesome
food, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets d.
gests it for him.
And this Is in accordance with nature
ana common serise because in this way
the whole system is nodrished and the
overworked sto mach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food, whether the
stomach works Or not. One of Stuart S
dyspepsia Tablets will digest 1900 grains
OF meat, eggs and similar food.
ANY drugg ist will tell you that Stuart S
dyspepsia Tablets is remedy of extra
ordinary Alue and probably is the purest
and SAFEST. remedy for stomach troubles.
NO pers ION suffering from poor digestion
and lack OF appetite can fail to be imme-
diately and permanently benefited if they
would make a practice to take one or two
OF Stuiart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal.

lions, the public knows from the blue
book and the reading of General
Botha's last dispatch that it was the
British general who first made propos-
ais. Never did the Boer general refuse
to listen. We do not fight except for
peace. We are not conquerors, but, al
though General Botha listened to the
British proposals, he never uttered q
word of eQuivocation on the subject OF
independence. Independence Is the only
treasure we cherish, even If we have
to sacrifice all others.
1T is for this reason our citizens for
SOCK their farms and sacrificed their
lives, and our women and children now
suffer temporary seryitude in the enc
my's camp.
And added the president, with still
more emphasis, 'if the English were
not blind, if they considered their own
interests well, if they were not hope
lessly enslaved by error and injustice.
they would recognize the independence
We demand, because in the nope Of
safeguarding it, we shall be ready to
make many concessions and sacrifices,
and, moreover, it would assure peace
forever for South Africa"
The subject of arbitration being next
preached, Mr.. Kruger expressed his
entire readiness to submit all questions
to the arbitrament of an impartial tri-
bunal, not even excepting the question
of independence
I'VE would sacrifice our liberty" he
said, '.if the verdict of arbitration de-
cided that one or the other of the re-
publics had done anything to forfeit
it. But on that point we are at ease"
Here the Bible was invoked, Mr..
Kruger reading a passage from the
Psalms in which David calls upon the
Lord and asks If there be any spot or
blemish in him or whether he had COM
mitted any miSdeed.
But, like David" he said, I'VE are
far from being exhausted; the Boer
commandos are able to go on fighting
Indefinitely. We have combatants,
arms and ammunition in sufficient
quantities. 1t is useless to hope to re-
duce us by lassitude or extermina-
tion."
He ended by expressing thanks to
Providence for the manifold complica-
tions with which the British Empire
is now beset at other points of the
globe, which one day will compel it to
release its prev,

from New York paper asking his CO.
operation in giving relief to starving
millions of Northern China. His tele-
gram in reply was:
Christian Herald, New York: Your

ADMINISTRATOR in Shan 81 Is indescrib-
able. Your plan of relief is the best.
Put matter in hands of consuls at Shang-

Prince Ching told me only two days
before left Peking," said Minister Con-
ger. that these people were literally
eating each other. They have eaten every
blade of grass, every bit Of bark-every-
thing, in fact, that can be eaten in that
province. Nothing has been raised there
for two years, and unless relief is given
many. many thousands must perish"

Troubles Of

THINKS FREEDOM
MAY YET COME
More Than Willing to Submit
TransvaaI's Claims to
Arbitration.

PARIS, May S.-An Interview with
former president Of the TransvaaI was
seen in modest little inn at Utrecht,
where he is stopping for the moment.
His eyes have been very much improv-
ed by recent operations, and he can
now dispense with spectacles.
Sitting in front Of table, with
Bible under his left hand, Mr.. Kru-
ger delivered himself of an important
statement to which further significance
was given by the presence Of the Or
ange Free State delegate, Herr Fisch-
er.
Mr.. Kruger began by announcing
that on Saturday next he proposed re-
firing into the country for complete
rest. The little village of Hilbersum
not far from Utrecht, has been selected
for his abode. Nothing has yet been
decided regarding his trip to America
Mr.. Kruger will undertake the journey
If his strength permits. and if there
is any hope Of gaining advantage for
the Boer cause.
Pointing to Herr Fischer, the aged
president declared that the two repub-
lies were indissolubly united. Herr
Fischer" he said. lis fighting for the
same cause as my heroic friend, Presi-
dent Steyn. The two presidents ana
the two commanding generals, Botha
and De Wet, will share the, same fate. !"
On being questioned regarding re-
lance he placed on the Boer official
kilograms and statements in Pariia-
ment. Mr.. Kruger, half rising from. his
armchair, declared:
The British government, British
telegraph and the British press always
try to make this much'-and he n1ea
sured his little f1nger-.1ook like this
much" and he extended both arms.
I am persuaded everything is going
we'll out there. precisely because our
enemies continue to dissimulate and

TA THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE.

We believe the district attorneys office has a record of the indictments that have been returned by grand iuries since the establishment in Nome of the district court. We would like to ask how many of the persons thus indicted have been prosecuted and how many cases ithere are which have never been called. And, further would like to know, and we think that this is matter in which all good citizens should be interested, why some have been se- lected for trial, while others of long standing have remained in abeyanee have been, perhaps, for gotten We weud also like to ask the district at- terney's office how many men, under indictment, have been permitted to leave the country this fall without any effort having been made to bring them to trial We know of ourselves and the records of the court do notshow that these men were ever arraigned In case at least, one man was in dicted on three separate charges a year ago. He is route to the States, and he did not. conceal the fact that he going. @
 We are ever ready to commend diligence and hon. esty on the part of officials, but are also ever ready to hold those officials to strict accounting In otherwords, demand that eyen-handed, justice be meted' out to all. s.E

AS TO THE GLACIER GREEK RIOTS.

Some of the witnesses in the of the United States against J. w. Griffin, charged with rioting, seem to be men endowed with great powers of pene- tration. They able, according to their testi- mony, to identify men behind masks whom they acknowledged they had never met before. This is an example of far-sightedness, and nsightedness, that is rarely found, save in Alaska It speaks well for the 1penetrating powers of the Alaskan. He is "it" when the occasion demands he is 'there for that purpose"
 We have a fellow feeling for the residents of Alaska-especally the odtime residents: We know that they observant, ingenious, open-learted and ree-handed. Many of them are of the "salt of the earth" and ready to demonstrate the faith that is in them by their works. But the odtimer is guileless; he has not, in this great country, cuti vated the art of deceit of lying in wait for his neigh bor that he might take him at disadvantage. He would scorn to do it. But the whrligig of time brings many changes. The old-tmer oftentimes finds his occupation gone, because of the strenuous habits af the new-tmer to acquire everything in sight. and by any means. Tbere time in Alaska when a mans property safe his cabin left un- locked, and the wayarer might enter it, help himself provided he content with supplying only his immediate wants; there was open hospitality to steal was crime that not to be forgiven. And it never It did not matter whether the crime lay in robbing cache stealing 8 claim The first of the early miners declared that these things should not be tolerated. And they were not.
 But we have digressed. It is not our purpose to cast any reflections upon the character integrity of any of the witnesses in the case cited We will as- sume, for the nonce, that if they were mistaken it was not intentional. Mems feelings run high in a community of this kind None are free from preiu dicss, and senterest is too frequently ruling pas sion~ The causes leading up to the "rioting" on Glacier creek the early morning of August 15 are we'll known, and we need not refer to them here There almost universal dstrust of the federal court then constituted Men were in despair, and while we deprecate any act that may tend to bring the observance of law into disrepute, free to state that lander the conditions then prevailing we do not wonder that men "took the law into their own hands, as has been charged.
 The aim of the law is to punish the guilty and protect the innocent; yet it is matter of common knowledge, we believe, that men who participated in the affair Glacier creek have not been indicted, and those who not there have been placed under the bane of the law. This statement is freely made, and rnay be permitted to state that the nvestiga ton of the prosecuting officers does not seem to have been thorough as it migh! have been.
