For $500 He Guarantees to Do That
for Which a Lady Offers Him 500.
Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. %, 1901
Especial. )-Some two years ago To-
cal druggist engaged in transaction
which was in it's details somewhat re-
markable. He was visited by Miss
Anna P Nichols, who had a doctors
prescription for rheumatism, which
the druggist was filling. In the course
of conversation the good lady said: u
would give one hundred dollars to gen
we'll"
He Immediately replied: Give me-
five dollars and l will guarantee to
cure you"
She agreed. and he at once handed
her box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. say
ing: They are soc box. Two boxes
may cure you, but am quite sure that
ten will"
Miss Nichols tells the story as fol-
lows: 'Dodd's Kidney Pills are verit-
able life preservers. l was troubled
for five years with rheumatism, so
that at times my right arm seemed
paralyzed and l could only walk with
difficulty, and could not go out OF
doors IL the air was damp or cold
took so much medicine that l think
| my system was poisoned rather than
helped. One day when my druggist
was putting up a prescription for me
| 1 remarked to him that 1 would give
one hundred dollars for a remedy that
would make me better"
"'Give me five dollars and I will
guarantee to cure you,' he said.
readily agreed and he handed me a
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, saying,
| They are SOC box. Two boxes may
cure you, but am sure that ten WILL
1 left my prescription intact and, in
stead, took these Pills, and I found
them, as 1 said before, to be veritable
/ life preservers. Before 1 had finished
the second box 1 had my first perfect
nights rest in years. 1 gradually i'm
proved. 1 had determined to use the
ten boxes before I would give up, but
imagine my surprise to find that be-
fore half that quantity was used was
completely cured. This was two years
ago, and 1 have not had a twinge
since"

that the construction of the railway
from Athens to Larissa will shortly
be commenced. In consequence of the

other. The first section will be from
Athens to Chalcis and will be COM
pleted in 1902. The second, from Cha
els to Lamia, will be ready for traffic in

Cory, Pa, Feb. 23.-In the history
of this region no storm ever before
reached the fury of this blizzard. With
half dozen feet of snow on country
roads and outlying districts, and Hatch
street buried under twelve feet OF
snow, Cory caught about the worst
part of the storm. A heavy fall OF
snow, accompanied by fierce wind of
great velocity. Some snow drifts on
the railroads are 20 feet high. Horses
can not go through the snow and
farmers walk miles for necessary trade.

We will speak out, we will be heard,
Though all earth's systems crack.
We will not bate a single word,
Nor take letter back.
We speak the truth, and what care we

While some faint gleamings we can see
Of freedoms coming morn?
Let liars fear. let towards shrink,
Let traitors turn away;
Whatever we have dared to think
That dare we also say.

All public utilities will finally belong
to the people. The title will rest with
them, and in the more private combi-
nations of capital the producer will
find a way to procure his fair share
of the savings rendered possible by the
economies which are effected. This is
the hope and promise of the twentieth
century. 1t will be all the easier for
the government to take these great
properties in the name of the people
when the time is ripe.-Boston Daily

A LESSON FROM MONKEYS.

Herbert S. Casson teaches a lesson
by illustrating the movements of ten
monkeys, who were hunting together.
They discovered cocoanut across
stream. Nine Of the monkeys formed
bridge, over which the tenth passed
safely, and secured the nut. He, how
ever, claimed it as his own, although
he had walked over the bodies of the
other nine to secure it. This is the
game of the average capitalist today.

years and received an average salary

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY WINS
Powers Have Accepted the Princi-
Pile Of Hands off Territory;
WITHOUT POWERS APPROVAL:

Washington, Feb. 23.-At the in
stance of the United States government
the. powers have accepted the principle
that no further individual; concessions
of territory in China shall be sought. or
obtained by any one power without
international assent.
This agreement applies not only to
Tien Tsin, where there has been some
rivalry exhibited in the effort to OBJ
tain concessions from foreign settle
ments, but to all other Chinese points.
The state department began this
movement some time ago under the
belief that all of the powers might be
willing to subscribe to general prin-
ciple which promised upon its face to
maintain the rights of all against
selfish individual efforts.
The conjecture was well founded, for
after the department had addressed
received from not only majority, but
nearly all of them, and certainly a
sufficient number to insure the exeeu-
ton of the plan, were an acceptance of
the American principle. So hereafter
If any otie nation seeks to secure room
for its individual settlements or like
privileges in ports or elsewhere in
China. the application must be APP
proved by the other powers before the
Chinese government will be permitted
to assent, even if it desired it so.
There is another and a very important
point of the agreement, which is that
the present is not the most opportune
time for asking new concessions. 1t
cannot be determined at this moment
whether the conclusion above an
nounced is retroactive in effect.
