American and French soldiers acted as
police.
Chi Shiu, an elderly man of full body
and member of the Tsung- Lii Yamen
! was in the first cart. After the legal
| formalities had been gone through with
incredible rapidity, he walked firmly
and with dignity to the further mat
and knet down. Instantly he was
seized, a piece of string was tied tight
ly round his head, his pigtail pulled
aside, his clothes torn away to bare
the neck, and his arms seized. Four
men held him while the executioner
raised the heavy knife, and, with one
swift drawing cut, decapitated his vic
tim.
The head was held aloft for all the
world to see, and simultaneously the
inert trunk fell forward to the ground.
/ There it lay while the executioners,
with hands and clothes saturated with
blood, went in search Of the second
prisoner.
Shiu Cheng vi, whose chief offense
seems to have been that his father
now dead, declared that he would new
er be happy until he had the skin of a
foreigner as a rug for his cart, was
also an elderly man, and was taller and
not so stout as his predecessor, it was
obvious that he had been robbed of all
feeling by drugs. There was no emo

along, and placed in position on his mat

the gruesome operation of sewing the
heads on to the trunks, and the dis

thirteen different nationalties in the
crowd which witnessed the execution,
and the only pleasing feature through
though a public ceremony, there was
no sign of rowdyism. The ribald song,
the laughter, the paths, and the hy-

was there any suggestion of prayers

eknown Scranton Physician Discovers
Ing Valuable Food Properties of Wheat With Pure
Nilk-A Perfect Food for Infants.

Having established the principle,
DR.. Hand set about a search for fac
tory in a grazing section, far from
even the probability of contamination
of distillery slops or unhealthy COWS.
The plant was finally located in the
great clover fields near Ub1y, Mich. :
Close at hand stands the factory
scrupulously clean, light and airy
to which the milk is taken direct from
the fields. Here the processes are diff
ferent from the practice of other con-
densing plants. Each successive step
in reducing the milk is taken after
many tests for the qualities and con-
ditlons preparatory to the addition of
the tasteless phosphates and hypo-
phosphites, and when the process is
completed it is truly--as has often
been said" the greatest health-giving
and best condensed milk made. "
Hundreds of mothers have discov-
cred the wonderful food value of DR..
Hands Phosphated Condensed Milk.
Following is one of many letters from
Bridgeport, Conn:
II have been using DR. Hand s Condensed Milk
now for nearly two months. and will say that the
milk has done wonders for my baby. 1t has
brought him up from n puny sckly condition TO
healthy, robust child. Shall certainly keep
on using It, and will heartily recommend 1t to ali
OF my friends ms being the best baby food in exist
ence. To this can truthfuy testify, having
tried ten other foods without success"

1t is well to add that the same proper
ties that make DR.. Hands Phosphated
Condensed Milk the best infant food,
gives it the greatest restorative quality
for invalids and the aging, and makes
it best for general household use.

THE BEHEADALS AT PEKING.
How the Powers Saved Their Face in
China by Executing Two of Their

How the Powers Saved Their Face" in
| China by Executing Two of Their
Prisoners.
Just before Yuen Chang, a member
of the Tsung- il Yamen, was beheaded
here in July last on account of his al
legged pro-foreign leanings, he solem-
ly warned Shiu Cheng vi, the vice
president of the board of punishments,
in the following language: To-day I
shall suffer an ignomnious death be-
cause I have striven to avert calamity
from China. In a, few months the for
eigner will occupy Picking, and then
you will undergo a similar penalty on
the self-same spot
This forecast was realized to-day,
and, as the Chinaman is superstitious
and a fatalist, perhaps the feeling that
it was his destiny may have afforded
some sort of consolation to the wretch
ed Shiu Cheng vi when he and his COL
league, Chi Shiu, We're being jolted in
Picking carts through this dusty city
to their death.
How is it that at times which do not
lend themselves to hilarity doggerel
rhymes will sometimes persist in jing-
ling through ones brain? Anyhow, as
I rode along to witness this historical
execution / found myself repeating
over and over again those once popular
lines from 1.-THE Mikado:"
Yves got 'em on the list,
They never, will be missed.
And this couplet was after all appro-
pirate to this homogeneous occasion.
For there were we, the eight most pow
erful nations in the world, after maxi
ing out list of thirteen officials and
demanding their heads of the Chinese
government obliged to eat our own
words and accept two Of the least i'm
portant of these men for execution,
Save for the skill of the japanese we
should not even have secured any one
for beheadal. The sad part of it is that
the allied forces have made it clear
to the Chinese that the governments of
the foreign devil collectively are
prone to adopt the same pitiful diplo-
macy of bluff and cave in" which
over and over again has characterized
their individual policy in treating with
China Yes, these two comparatively
unimportant men. who never" will be
missed" to the Chinese, have been con-
sidered by the allied powers as suffic-
ing to save our face, while their eleven
