DR.. Miles Nclvinc has been successfully

thousands OF testimonials prove this, and in

in the following:
Seven years ago my wife commenced
having ;;pasms or fits and / called in my

lyzcd.. lie rubbed her with salt water and
gave her caomcl and she eventually got
some better, but in short time she had
another attack. She was confined to her
bed Tor three months and the doctor could
not help her. She had fits frequently, some
times very severe. Her hands would cramD
SO we could not open them and she finally
got SO her jaws would become locked
Finally | saw the doctor was doing her no
good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles Re-
storative Nervine. She received so much
benefit from the first bottle that got some
more. She has taken n number OF bottles
but has never had a fit since taking the first
dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr,

One OF tho ONLY UI<cl'AO plnya

An ancient baseball fan tells this
story to Illustrate the quickness and
tricliincss Of Mike Kelly, the one time
king OF the green diamond:
az game between Boston and Wash
ington was played at Beantown. Char
lie Bennett was catching, and Mike
Kelly wns sitting OH the bench when Il
foul which Bennett could not possibly
get goes up In the air toward the
bench, and Kelly, being captain, yclls
to the umpire that he will put Bennett
out Of the game, and ut the same time
he puts on mitt with lightning speed
and catches the ball. He then tries to
make the umpire allow the catch, but
the umpire, after wrangling long
time with Kelly, decides the ball was
in play and Bennett could not be re-
moved from the game until the ball
had been caught by n player in the
game, so he ordered the batsman to
hit over. This was quick thought Of
Kelly, even If it did moi work"

German Emperor Presents His Two
Sons to the POntiff.
ACCORDED MILITARY HoNoRs

The Kaiser Received Tumutuous
Greeting From Populace On His
Way to the Vatiean-Presented His
Two Sons to Pentlff.
Rome. May 4. - Emperor William
was received by the Pope yesterday.
He had a conference with the Pom
tiff of 40 minutes duration. and then
returned to the residence OF the Prus-
sian minister to the Holy See. As
the emperor and his suite traversed
the streets of Rome he was enthusi-
astically acclaimed. His majesty pre-
sented Prince Frederick William and
Prince Eitel to the POntiff. At the
Vatican the emperor was received
with military honors by the Palatine
Guard and a platoon of gendarmes,
and he was welcomed by the high
dignitauos of the pontifcal court.
The visit Of Emperor William was
returned by Cardinal Rampolla, Papal
secretary of state, at the Prussian le-
CATION.
The sun was shining brightly when
Emperor William left the Prussian le-
cation to drive to the Vatican. Fif-
teen carriages were required for the
use Of his majesty and his suite. His
majesty wss in full uniform and ac-
compaRied by Prince Frederick Will
liam and Prince Eitel. The royal
party received tumultUOus applause
all along the route.
When Pope Leo was advised Of the
arrival OF his guests the door was
thrown open and the Pontih appeared.
He was dressed in white, with the eX-
ception of a small cape of red velvet,
trimmed with ermine. The emperor
advanced alcne, making a profound
bow. The Pontiff inquired in French
as to the emperor's health. Emperor
William then presented his two sons.
His majesty and the PonJiff then re
tired to the latter's private study The
| audience lasted 40 minutes. At the
end of this time the princes were sum-
moned and spoke to the POntih-
The imperial party then paid a
brief visit to Cardinal Rampolla.
Upon his three previous visits to
the Vatican Emperor William returned
direct to the Quirinal This was not
liked by the Vatican as it thought he
should first return to neutral ground.
It was appreciated, however, by the
| Quirinal. as to do so is considered
somewhat of a slight upon the Pope
| King Edward followed this course
Yesterday Emperor William returned
| from the Vatican to the Prussian le
| CATION accredited to the Holy See
where he changed carriages, his
cufrassiers remaining at the legation
This course is supposed to imply that
his majesty wished to pay particular
Difference to the feelings of the Vati
can.
There was another new departure
during this visit of the emperor Pre-
viously Cardinal, Rampolla had re
turned the imperial visit to the Vati
can at the Prussian legation, and had
found only the Prussian minister. Yes
terday. however. Emperor William
waited at the legation, received the
cardinal most cordially and had Ions
conference with him.
The Vatican is delighted at the i'm
portance given by Emperor William
to his visit to the Pope and the au
thorities consider this visit an answer
to what they call the present perse
cution of the church in France.
