A Thousand Dollars Thrown
4 Ny1V

Mr.. w. w. Baker, of PIainview,
Neb., writes: "My wife had lung
trouble for over fifteen years. We
tried a number of doctors and spent
over a thousand dollars without any
relief. She was very low and l lost
all hope, when a friend suggested try
ing Foley's Honey and Tar, which I
did and thanks be to this great rene
dy, it saved her life. She is stronger
and enjoys better health than she has
ever known is ten years. We shall
never be without -FoIey's Honey and
Tar and would ask those afflicted to
try it. Frederick Vivian.

A plea for consideration was put
forward OF behalf OF a pickpocket at
Marlborough street on the ground
that eve Il short sentence would
carry with 1t the additional hardship
to a gentleman of the prisoners pro-
1essiOn of being sequestrated during
the coronation festivities. To the
Mght-tingered fraternity this would
certainly be a matter of serious loss.
The plea reminds us of the two men
accused OF pocket-picking who tried
to engage a o celebrated counsel to
conduct their defense at the Old
Bailey. There was one insuperable
im%pediment to this contamination
namely. the absence OF the necessary
guineas.

HONORABLE TERMS OF PEACE.

The settlement made between the
British and the Beers is very credit
abe 70 both parties. 1t shows that
tie British considered their antagon.
lists worthy Of their steel and that they
believed 1t simple Justice to accord
snsmy could conscientiously receive.
Tho war has besn the most remark.
able in history. A little handful of
people have wtthstood the onslaughts
Of tho British empire for three years
and at the end Of that long period have
been enabled to dictate terms Of peace,
they have every reason to be proud of.
At no time have they been enabled to
muster more than 0 1000 men. but they
have had-s faculty O., saving their
ammunition and have proved them
selves marksmen such As the world
has never seen before. Man for man
the British troops were no match for
them. In men and money Great
Britain has suffered . loss Of tremend'
