the way from $50, 900 to 81, 900, 900 per

featuring Company. A year ago the
question would have been laughed al
as great joke. Very earnestly and in
all seriousness the young Pennsylva-

How It is Done.

Considerable surprise has often been
naifested by the general public at the
fact that some of the most prominent
and responsible commercial concerns
continue to contribute free to the to
the regular purchases of their goods,
premiums that have very substantial
value. II was long a popular notion
that the goods with which presents
were given were necessarily OF an in
ferior character, aud the practice of
many firms went far to make the public
skeptical about the quality of the arti-
cles offered for sale, but it would be
manifestly unjust to make the sweep
ing assertion that all concerns having
honest goods on the market, and en-
deayoring, in Legitimate way, to push
the sales by offering extra inducements
to buy, were necessarily to be classed
under the head of "ehoap gift enter
prises.
The premiums given by the Woolson
Spice Co. of Toledo, Ohio, for instance,
to those who saye and send in the Lion
heads cut from the wrappers of Lion
Coffee, are of useful aud valuable
character, and while in vast quantities
they may not be very expensive, it is
certain that those who receive these
premiums would have to pay quite a
high price or them if bought individu-
ally in small town, 1t is the immen-
sity of the Lion Coffee business that
enables the Woolson Spice CO. to pur-
chase at wholesale prices often buying
out an entire factors prodnct- the ar
ticles which they distribute separately
to their customers. In no other way
could those premiums be bought so as
to be given away and still leuve a small
margin of profit on the Coffee.

Peking. OHM. March %. 1901 !

Peking, China, March 2S, l9Ol,)
August 11th, The column advanced
to Chang-Ja-Wa, q distance Of about
II miles. This is the Oldest town in
this province, if not the oldest in the
empire; the country has rolling as
pect in this vicinity.
On August 12th we reached Tupg-
Chow; it was here that the Boxers
made their last feeble resistance before
We reached Peking; as we marched in
to the place firing could be heard not
far away and we thought that we would

was disappointed again, as upon gain
ing the town we learned that it was tie
inyincible Japs driving the enemy on
toward Peking.
Tung- Chow was and is yet, one of
the most important towns in the "how-
cry kingdom" 1t is next to Peking in
importance in this province and about
the fifth largest in size in the empire;
it is the head of navigation on the Peu-
no river, and before the advent of the
railway, all the immense traffic to and
from Peking and Tien Tsin was con-
Quoted via Tung- Chow, but since the
railway was finished Its importance as
a shipping center has decreased con-
siderably.
The famous military road or cause
way from this place to Peking, was at
one time one of the principle points Of
interest in China, but of late years it
has gradually relapsed in decay, the
large blocks of stone of which the bed
was made has become separated, and
the continual freeze and thaw has
caused a great many of them to become
displaced thereby rendering traffic, by
wheel, utterly impossible.
At this place was situated the In

of the outer walls of Peking, and all

sibly more, to be bonght at retail in the

Co., buying tha. very article by the ten
thousand at time, get low price in
the same position as the wholesaler or
jobber.
The Lion Coffee is well known to be
Of excellent and Of uniform quality and
it is used today in millions of Ameri-
can homes. The fact that premiums
are given to help its sale, does not in
the least affect the quality or quantity,
and the great claim that this Coffee has
on the public MUD is that it is abso-
lutely pure, and not glazed or coated
in any way. 1t is said that the finest
coffee-roasting establishment in the
world is located on the Woolson Spice
Co.'S. premises in Toledo, andthe facil-
tiles for preparing this coffee for the
market are unsurpassed.
1t is therefore not to be wondered at
that Lion Coffee has such an immense
sale, as it has clearly pushed its way to
the front on its intrinsic merits and is
its own advertisement, 1t is recon
mended on account of its wholesome
purity, its strength and fragrance, and
the fact that it takes less Of it to make

until about $3.50 p m, the 18th, when
camp was broken and we marched to a
point about miles northwest of Tung-
Chow, and waited for the signal of 1T
tack on Peking, to be given.
During this march we were treated
to a first-class Chinese thunder storm,
and the manner in which the thunder
reverberated and the lightning flashed,
reminded us very much of the tropical
storms of Luzon; this was accompanied
by heavy downpour of rain, which
soon drenched us to the skin, aud made
the roads ankle deep in mud, and al
most impassable; and to make matters
worse, we became lost twice, owing to
the almost impenetrable darkness; but
neyerthe less spirit of good nature
peryaded, and many were the jokes one
heard, directed principally at our Off
GERS, who it can be said were not to
blame for our dilemma
Dark, why it was so dark you could
not see your file leader, except by the
fitful flashes of lightning, as one of the
men put it "it was as black as a stack
of black CATS on black night" so you
see it must have been very dark.
After several hours OF weary march
ing in mud and rain, we rt last reached
corn field where we bivouacked for
the rest of the night. Bright and early
on the morning of the l4th camp was
broken and we again took up the march,
and after frequent halts we at last
reached point about onc-half mile
from the outer wall of the wonderful
! city Of "Kublai Khan"
Since early dawn the artillery OF the
Allies had been pounding with relent-
less regularity at the walls and pagoda
topped gates of the capitol of the Oldest
empire that history knows.
