1t cures diseases of the stomach, and

Many diseases i'll organs remote from the

Hence the whole body, and each organ
Of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, 50

their house meantime, as the servants
unexpectedly left in body, It was
quite natural that Tom should ask
Fred to keep1n eye on it.

charged him last week?' he hurriedly
explained. just before the train left.
well, he might hear in some way
about our all going off, and, although
don't suppose he'd risk breaking in
himself. he may send friend of his

But al that moment the cars moved
off, and Tom had to run for them,
Fred however, fully comprehended
what was required of him, and re-
solved to prove himself worthy Of the
trust.
His mother being a widow, he had
for the past two years been man Of
the house" at home, and, indeed his
height aud weight combined were cal
culated to keep small boys very re-
spectful in his presence.
As soon as he had seen Tom safely
gain the rear platform Of the last car
Fred walked back to the cottages,
which stood apart from the other
houses in the village, the Wilton's be-
ing bounded on one side by wood.
There was neither fence nor hedge
to separate the grounds from the APP
plebys' and after making sure that
every shutter had been closed, Fred
strobe back across the lawn to his own
piazza.
They might almost as well be open,

to do is to slip his fingers through the
Stats and lift the latch. They ought to
have nailed them up as they do in the
winter; but stop! | don't believe a
man could get his hand in. So won''
worry about that point Of approach
Three times every day Fred walkeC
around the cottage, which alway'
stared back at him with the SAME
closed, inhospitable air, and at thu
end of a week he concluded that th'
wrathful coachman must have forgot
ten all about the WiltoBs and LAX,
Beach. However, he still kept up hi
careful daily inspection of the prem
ises, thereby winning from his mothe
and sister the title of "the youn!
guardsman."
One day, just before lunch, he caugh
up the baseball bat he always carriet
on these occasions, and started on hi
noon patrol. As he crossed the divid

FRANCES mrsFoRrUNE.

The French colonial experiments in
the island of Martinique, the scene Of
the recent awful disaster, have not, ac-
cording to the publication Of the treas
ury bureau of statistics, colonial admin
istration, been altogether satisfactory.
While many of the French colonies have
been successful and prosperous, those Of
the West Indies, by reason of their
small area and distance from the moth
er country. have proved not only a bur
den financially but somewhat unsatis-
factory in the demands which their rep
resentatives have n ade and continue to
make upon the mother country France
has tried the experminet, as did Spain,
of giving to certain of her colonies rep
resentation in the legislative body of the
home government and, according to a
quotation made in the bureau Of sta
tistics publication from NJ. Leroy Beau
lieu. that experiment has been nnsatis-
factory. The French colonies in Amer
lea consist of Martinique and Guade-
leupe with their adjacent Islands form
ing a part of the chain of small islands
which stretches IN a semi-eircle south
eastwardly from Porto Rico almost to
the coast of South America. On the
mainland of South America near the
southern terminus of this sem5eIrcle of
islands just n mentioned is another colony
of France. French Guiana, while fur
Tier north just off the southern coast of
Newfoundland is the remainder of
French colonial America. the Islands of
St Pierre and Nfauelon.
Martinique has an area of 3s1 square
miles and population Of about 10000
of which number about 5000 are Ia
borers brought from India and over r.
coo laborers from Africa; also about 500
Chinese immigrants The remainder of
the population is largely native negroes,
the white population numbering in all
about 10000. A large share of the inter
ior of the islal has never been brought
under cultivation, although it has been
occupied by the French almost cor
stantly since 1886, a period Of 267 years
the only interruption in French control
being the period from 1894 to 1862 when
the island was held by the British.
Slavery existed until 1S43. when it was
abolished in this as we'll as other
French colonies. Notwithstanding the
fact that a large part of its interior has
never been brought under cultivation.
the island is described as 'one OF the
most denselv populated spots on the
globe; on the arabic lands people are
packed as closely as in such industrial
centers as Lancashire. Flanders, or
Saxony
The government Of Martinique con
sists of a local legislative body com
posed of natives which has the power to
pass laws applicable to the exercise of
political rights. the regulation Of con-
tracts. matters relating to wills. Iega-

with reference to its other colonies.
This and the other American colonies of
France have a much larger share OF
self-government than any other of her
colonies. and are each represented by

legislative body
The commerce of the two French col
Onies. Martinique and Guadeloupe. with
the United States has amounted to
nearly S2,000.000 per annum during
long term of years, a large proportion
being exports from the United States to
those islands. In the year 1900 our ex-
ports to the islands were 81, 1867 ,1eS, and
our imports from the islands. SS0,176.
From them we import chiefly vanilla
beans. while our exports to them are
flour, cotton seed and mineral oils, coal,
lard, meats. and lumber.

STRIKE OUTLOOK.
Thousands of Bituminous Miners Are
Already Out.

Hazelton, May 16.-The Associated
Press has It from the highest authority
that Michigan district and the West
Virginia district viii probably make up
SPECIAL national convention and that the
convention VIII be held as soon as the
machinery can be set In motion IN
Michigan there are about 1900 men now
on strike and about 1000 in West Vir-
ginia. The same high authority says
that the 81, 600 men in Virginia and West
Virginia and from $1,000 to 10000 men
in central Pennsylvania will with&at
doubt be on a strike within few days
unless demands that have been laid be
fore the bItunninous operators are grant
ed. These men can strike without the
sanction Of the special convention.

how it was raised, was printed in the State
Journal February G, 1902
The first item. Hamilton Printing
company, the voucher was printed in
facsimile in this paper February 9Th
and speaks for itself.
On the second item the record SHOWS
that Mr.. Kelly took $500 for Crane &
Co, and S5S.20 for himself
On the third item. LaWton & Burnap.
Mr.. Kelly was apparently not satisfied
with the process Of duplication so he
issued a triplicate, sent Lawton & Bur
nap the amount OF their bill, $31s5, and
took for himself $685., fifteen cents IN
excess of twice the. amount of the bill
against the county, In other words for a
bill of $31- IS the county actually pa ii
out $3.50.
In the next two items he seems to
have been satisfied with taking the same
amount as was allowed the judge.
In the next item, that Of Crane & Co.
the voucher was raised from $150 to
S61.05, Mr.. Kelly receiving on this trans
action $3.50. making a very expensive
printing item for Miami county
The next three items are duplicated
vouchers, Mr. Kelly receiving the same
amounts as the parties who did the ser
vice.
Then follows the Hall & O'Donald item
raised from S11-00 to $77.o0 by putting
wings on the figure Is.
The next item, John c. Carpenter
covers court stenographer's fees $500
Here Mr.. Kelly received the same
amount as paid the stenographer.
Now We come to the bridge item of
1888 The county paid this amount 10
T. NJ Hobson for constructing the
bridge and to T. T. Kelly for con
structing the duplicate voucher and
warrant. 1t appears that this duplica t.
voucher was not printed in the official
county paper under the list of accounts
allowed nor did it appear on the COM
missiOners' blotter and journal.
The next three items were for blank
books. the vouchers being raised SO IN
each case.
It is understood that the commissioners
found a large number of transa ctions
which were not satfsfa ctorily explained,
but about which there was doubt. In
these instances Mr.. Kelly was given the
benefit of the doubt In the commission
ers' report the items are those about which
there was no shadow of a doubt
Mr. Kelly was in Paola during the en-
tire investigation and was given full op-
pOrtunity to refute any charges or give his
explanation.
