The story of the luck of the Howths
is well known, and down to very recent
times no member of that family would
permit a rat to be put to death. 1t was
said that about the year 1850 the TWEEN
ty-sixth Baron Howth was giving a
banquet to his friends when a rat rush
ed into the hall, followed by several
dogs, and, jumping on the table, sat up
before Lord Howth as if appealing for
protection. He saved it's life, and from
that moment it new =. quilted him. At
last he set out on a foreign tour, accom-
panied by his brother, who persuaded
him to leave the rat behind.
Sitting in a hotel at Marseilles, the
door suddenly flew open, and the rat,
dripping wet came crawling in and
went straight to the fire to dry itself
Lord Howth's brother, enraged at the
intrusion, seized the poker and dashed
out the rats brains. you have muir
dered mew exclaimed Lord Howth and
instantly fell down and expired.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

A Toad In a. Hole.

If you poke about the corners of a
garden you will soon understand, says
the Garden, how the stories of toads
imprisoned in solid rock arise You
hardly ever find toad in it's chosen
retreat without wondering how it man
aged to get in and how it proposes to
get out again, and our ancestors en-
shrined this batrachian habit in the
phrase toad in hole as the name of
a dish in which piece of meat is
baked inside batter, with no visible
means of entrance or exit. This pecul-
lar faculty of the toad for burying him
self without leaving a trace behind is
due to his trick Of burrowing back
ward, as q crab does, his strong hind
legs shoveling the earth forward until
he is covered.

LIKE FINDING MONEY.
Wilson Bros. Offer Popular Med.
fcine at Half Price.

Wilson Bros, the popular druggists,
are making an offer that is just like
finding money, for they are selling q
regular 50 cent bottle of DR.. Towards
celebrated specific for the cure of con-
stipation and dyspepsia at half price. In
addition TO this large discount they
agree TO return the money 10 any pur-
chaser whom the specific does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able TO buy
fifty cent pieces foc quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently, through the solicitation of
Druggists Wilson Bros that this medi-
cine could be bought for less than fifty
cents. They urged the proprietors to
allow them to sell it at this reduced price
for little while, agreeing to sell GER
tain amount. The result has justified
their good Judgment, for the sale has
been something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia. dizziness, sour stomach, speck
before the eyes, or any liver tcouble,
should take advantage of this opportu-
nifty, for DR.. Towards specific will cure
all these troubles. But if by any chance,
it should not, Wilson Bros. will return
your money.
The specific is very pleasant to take,
coming In the form of small granules,
and there are sixty doses in every pack
age. 1t is especially convent when
travelling, and no one should start on q
journey without bottle of this reliable
medicine.

Pr0HtabIe Politeness

'@The custom house nuisance can be
greatly abated by knowledge of for
eign manners" says an experienced
traveller. "Politeness is not Absolutely
thrown away even ON American Gus
tom house officials, and in France it is
three-quarters of the battle. The whole
secret of getting easily and comfortably
through the douane lies in the greatest
possible politeness and the least posi-
BILE appearance of furry. Pardon, mon
sieur; 81 vous aurez la bonte,' ETC.. is a
safe prelude to happy and rapid re-
lease. If you have nothing to declare
say so at once and at the same time be-
gin to open your bags and boxes. In
nine cases out of ten this will have the
effect Of making the officer chalk all
your boxes without a word A little
joke, too, about the absurdity of i'm
porting anything into so perfect coun-
try as France or some such mild Jest
will often go far to put you on the best
of terms with the douanier. But above
all things be polite. Remember that in
France you cannot lay it on too thick"

LEISHMAN IS WAITING
Wants to Discover What the Porte VIII!
DO in the Vice Consul Meg
elssen Case.

Constantinople, Sept. S.-United
States Minister Leishman is not taking
any steps regarding the attempt upon
Vice Consul Magelssen at Beirut, but
is quietly awaiting developments on
the part of the porte. Referring to the
declarations made by Chekib Bey, the
Turkish minister at Washington, in an
interview with him August 20. which
have been cabled here, it is pointed out
in Constantinople that the porte would
have obviated all the present disagree
ment between the United States and
Turkey had it executed its engagements
made last year, and therefore. that the
Ottoman government is alone blama-
BILE for the present relations between
the two countries.
It is also declared that the charges
made by Chekib Bey against the
United States missionaries of melting
the Armenians against the Mussul-
MANS are unfOunded. The interiors of
most of the embassies here are guard
ed by armed sailors from their re-
spective guardships The German en-
bassy, in the absence of it's guardship,
the Loreley, which is cruising in the
Black Sea, is guarded by Turkish sol
diers.
A letter from Beirut dated Aug. 20
describes the condition of affairs there
under the present vail as scandalous.
1t says: Not only bribery and cor
ruption are rampant in every branch
of the administration, but certain
laWlessness is manifesting itself among
the Moslem element which, if not sup
pressed, is sure to cause trouble in the
future. The native Christians are op-
pressed, but they dare not complain,
whilst the Europeans no longer enjoy
the security which existed a few years
ago The house of the Italian consul
was lately rifled by burglars, and on
Aug. % the United States vice con-
sui was fired at. Arrests We're made,
but it always happens that the inno-
cent man is made to- suffer for the
crime

Questions Answered

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system
and that is all that they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all druggists.
Price 25c and 75c.

sun Drunkenness.

To become sun drunk is a condition
into which any one may fall in the
tropics. Exposure to the suns rays will
reduce man to a condition almost ex-
actly resembling drunkenness. He stag
gers about and is usually compelled to
lie down and "sleep it Off" Sun drunk
enness is sometimes accompanied by
nausea. Another curious fact in con-
nection with life in the tropics, where
the sun rises at the same time all the
year round, is that if you do not get up
before sunrise you do not feel we'll all
day. You feel heavy, out Of sorts and
have tendency to sickness.
