that 1t was simple enough when he

it. Waiting until the moon was high

the forest of stately eucalyptus trees.
and, moving stealthily along with ot.r
eyes fixed on the lofty branches,
scanned them closely for the little
black spots which were 'rossums

flash from the muzzle of the gun, a

perience at incoming 'possums. l say

ness Of it, its very weirdness fascir-
ated me. and we kept it up for hours
in the brilliant moonlight that made
the forest almost as bright as day.

into at once, and deeply. Maybe the blood
is cloggcd with germs that are capable of
producing any of o dozen complaints-with
the chance of great suffering, running into
the terminal station known as Death. To
prepare remedy having the power to con-
quer these ills, more surely than the ordin-
AIRY treatment had ever done, was DR..
Kennedy's ambition. Through WEAKNESS
and Encouragement he toiled on. He had
his reward at last. As naturalist comes
upon strange plant in the woods, so
DR.. David Kennedy one day laid hands on
the ingredient required to make his neto
medicine (the success Of the era )--Calcura
Solvent. He rejoiced, yet was humbly
thankful; as man is who knows that while
Paul may plant and Apollos water it is God
who giveth the increase; who leadeth to the
knowledge of the truth. Since then
thousands have been relieved and cured
who were spending their days in pain, with
the Grim Spectre waiting to deal the
finishing blow. Sufferers from rheuma-
tism, govt, dyspepsia, nervous prostration
or womens complaints will find help in

How to Keen Ice,

To keep ice, put It in deep dish
or jug, cover it with plate and place
the vessel on n pillow stuffed with
feathers and cover the top with another
pillow, by this means excluding the
external air. Feathers are well known
bad conductors of heat, and in conse-
quence the Ice is preserved from melt
ing. Ice may be so preserved for six or
eight days. The plan is simple and
within the reach Of every household.

PACKERS And Transfers.
A Compromise Agreement is Drawn
And Signed.
ROOM is LEFT FOR TROUBLE.

Chicago, June Quiet again reigns
in the turbulent stockyards district, as
a result of the settlement of the meat
teamsters' strike. But the happiness
of the men is married somewhat by the
report that the packers will refuse to
employ leaders among the striking
teamsters-
When the members of the conference
separated the strike was virtually at
an end, but the agreement of the com
mitteemen had to be ratified by the
packers and the teamsters This
caused some further delay, and it was
not until evening that all arrange
ments had been completed for the
strikers to return to work
Soon after the arrangement, which
is compromise, was ratified by the
men, report spread that the packers
had determined to take back only
teamsters who had not been active in
the strike. That the companies would
exercise choice in taking their former
transfers seemed not to have oc-
CURED to the men before and on inves-
tigation it was found that several
workmen recently employed in the
yards had been discharged. These
men declare that they have been sim
gled out because they were strong
union men and strike sympathizers.
This is denied by the packers, but the
statements of the discharged. men are
being carefully investigated.
The men who have been discharged
are members of the StoclSyards EN-
ployes' Unioa Their organization,
which was G4srmed less that than three
weeks ago, and already has a member
ship of over 700, is affiliated with the
Butchers Union.
A. W. Leonard, superintendent of
the Union Stoclyards company, will
be asked to reinstate the men who
have been discharged, and unless he
consents to do so it is said that the
5000 butchers employed in the differ
ent packing plants will be called out
on a strike.

Space to BE Set Aside In Westminster
Abbey for Them.
If the earl marshal ca5yjes out lis
teresting places in Westminster alb
hey on the day of the coronation will
be the 'children's corner" a space
which it is proposed to set aside for
the youthful little peers and peeresses
in their own right, who, though still
boys and girls, have a legal right of
which they intend to avail them
selves being present when Ed
ward VII is enthroned on the "stone
of destiny"
There are several boys in the peer
age who, owing to the death of their
father or some other relative, became
hereditary legislators before they
gave up the nursing bottle, or soon
after, and several little peeresses who
succeeded to their titles at an imma-
ture age. These little peers and peer
esses, in their coronation robes and
coronets, it is proposed to corral in
one group, which would make pref
ty picture; but think of the possibili-
ties, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, should the little folks get to
squabbhng among themselves! The
earl marshal would better provide a
lord high wielder of the birch rod
to keep the children's corner in order
during the long ceremonies.
AS the ages of the boy peers range
all the way from 9 to 10, the older
ones may be set as monitors" over
them, the way they used to do at
school. A vast amount of property
will be represented by these children
There is the Viscount Combermere,
Is years old, and possessed of $4,000
acres, with three great country
houses, one of them being the cele-
brated Combermere abbey; the Baron
Carbery, 10 years old, with an estate
of value in Ireland, and Lord Holm
patrick, with about 1000 acres to his
estate. Among the big boys is the
earl of Caledon, IT years old, an
immensely rich youth, with 10000
acres to his fortune. Lord Camoys, a
year older, has an estate of $500
acres.

Evidence of Mont Pelee.s Power.

Galveston, Tex, June 1O.-Mont
Pelee, on the island of Martinique, has
sent evidence of its power to Galveston,
several pieces of pumice stone having
been found on the beach here. Deputy
County Clerk Kuhnel, local astrono-
mer and geologist, states that about
May 16 he noticed the odor of whale
oil. At the time he believed that pos
sibly the explosion of the volcano on
Martinique had killed many fish and
probably several whales, and they had
foated westward giving off the odor
noticed by him. Since then his theory
has been further confirmed by the dis
covery of whales and fish floating on
the waters between here and the vol
canic islands.

Denver strlke CaIlea ON.

Denver, Col. June 1O.-The building
Trades Council declared off the strike
which has paralyzed all building in
Denver for the past two weeks, directly
affecting 5000 mechanics. It is not
known what action will be taken by
the employers organization in regard
to re-employing the strikers. The
calling off of the strike is said to be
the result of an order from the Ma
tional Building Trades Council which
declared the strike irregular in several
particulars.
