Secret society scheme tn Drive the British
Flag from New York Harbor Is
Very Devilish.

New York, May 1l.-An internal ma
chine connected with 100 pounds OF
dynamite was found in a box on the
Cunard pieI According TO the expert
opinion of the superintendent Of the
bureau of combustibles the box was
found and put into the river just In the
nick OF time to prevent II from ex-
ploding and demolishing the pier and
the Umbria. which was alongside and
about TO sail. The box was left at the
pier in an apparent attempt to have
ii placed aboard with the baggage OF
the passengers. The Umbria sailed
few minutes after the box was dis
covered, and all on board were in
ignorance of the attempt TO place an
internal machine aboard the vessel.
The discovery Of the box was due
to letter received ut police headquar-
tiers stating that the Malta" wanted
to show what it could do and telling
how to find the box. The letter also
said that this was the first and last
warning and that the intention was TO
drive the British flag out of New York
harbor. The society, the letter said,
asked and gave no quarter.
When examined it was found that
the fuse had been on fire and that it
would have exploded on the deck in
a few minutes. No one believes the
Malta has anything to do with the
devitry, but tive general opinion is that
the signing of the Italian name "Pietro
de Martini and the claim to the name
Malta are for the purpose of putting
the police on the wrong track. Had
the machine gone off on board the
Umbria it would have blown her bot
tom out.

Kansas City. May 12.-The west

BUDS and FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make IL the Home Medicine
For Che Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, II we expect
them to rpen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times OF i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vlgor-
Gus by giving them NATURES medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues OF Paine's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children well.
