Wakefu1?
Sleep1essness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou-
bic and Should
Be Looked To.

There are three different manifesta-
tons Of sleeplessness.
First, hardly to sleep wink all night.
second, to lie awake long time before
falling asleep; third. to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere in the
nerve fibres, somewhere in the brain
cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
is radically wrong, and must be righted,
or the end may be worse than death.
To right it, take Dr. Miles Ncrvinc.
Some other symptoms OF nerve trou-
bic are: Dizziness, Headache, Back
ache, Worry, Fretfuness, Irritability.
Melancholy, Lack Of Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
to Epilepsy, Fits, St. vitus Dance,
Nervous Prostitution, Paralysis, Insanity.
Nothing will give such quick and last
ing relief as DR.. Miles Nervine.

Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1904-01-06
To Attempt TO Make
Soldiers of The Chinese
Army OF the Empire to Be Northumberland 1t
Now Consists Of-Quan+ Body OF Soldiers.

Two things serve to arouse at least q
passing interest in the military capacity
OF China. First is the warlike situation
in the east with Japan and Russia SEEM
ingly drawing nearer each day to con-
t1tct in which China will be vitality inter-
ested, and for which that empire must
furnish the battle ground. Dispatches
from the orient tell Of China's depend
ence upon Japan for the ousting of the
bear from. Manchuria, and the preser-
walton of the empire. Under such condi-
tons China would naturally become an
ally Of Japan in the struggle for eastern
supremacy. These things make our Sec
ond reason for evincing an interest in
military China of still greater i'm
portance than it otherwise would be, and
this second reason is the expressed inten-
ton of the Chinese government to re-
organize and modernize it's army.
Even before Caleb Cushing carried
President Tyler's letter to Picking and
negotiated the first treaty with China in
1843, the possibilities Of the mailed fist
had become bug-a-boo to the people of
the western nations. So long as China
slept there was no danger; but China
was awakening, and what the awaken
Ing might bring, what ambitions the
eastern giant might eyince, were serious
questions In both Europe and America.
More than half century has passed
since Caleb Cushing negotiated our
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1904-01-06

first commercial treaty with China, and
our first fears seem no nearer realization
than they were then. China is not yet
fully awakened, and, as the Chinese en-
pire, may never be, but in the meantime
the world has had some small expert
ence with the giant.
In a general way, the Chinese soldier
is nonenity so far as fighting qualities
are concerned, though there have been
exceptions to this general rule. During
the TAPPING rebellion, the greatest of the
many civil wars China has known, the
English Gen. Gordon proved that the
coolies were not towards when prop
erly led. His lever victorious" force Of
less than 10000 men, put to route rebel
armies ten times it's size. Gordon's force
was differed by foreigners, and had
sprinkling of foreigners in it's ranks, and
it was the fearless example set by these
men which made heroes of the coolies.
A stranger force was never mustered
under military banner than this of Cor
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1904-01-06

don, nor seldom more heroic one.
Soldiers of fortune from practically
every nation of Europe and America,
men who were fighting merely for the
adventure and pay the service promised,
yet the power of one man not only made
heroes of them, but heroes of the Chi
nese coolies as we'll. It was an expert
ment that proved possibilities under
right conditions.
OF capable military leaders China de-
veloped but few during the TAPPING re-
bellion, or since that time. OF the few
Gen. Ching, who served with Gordon,
after his desertion from the rebel forces,
was a notable character, and of great
military ability. During the several
petty foreign wars in which China was
engaged down to the time OF the out
break of the war with Japan, no char
acter of anything like equal ability was
developed, nor did the more important
conflict with Japan bring to the front a
leader of such worth as to be classed
with him. This lack of military leaders
would seem to place China as non-mil-
liant power Of whom the world need
have no fears.
It takes training to make perfection,
and the training of the Chinese soldier
is the one great essential lacking.
Through all its defeats administered
since the days OF the coming Of the white
man, the empire has never felt the need
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1904-01-06

of remodeling it's system of training.
In fact, the soldier in China is held more
in contempt than esteem. The men who
are entrusted with the destinies of tho
army must prove their efficiency In the
sacred writings of Confucius rather than
in the science of war. The officers of the
army are drawn from those who sue
cessfully pass the civil examination, the
training for which is useless not only
from the military standpoint, but the
administration of civil duties as we'll.
Aside from these examinations the only
other test required is Intended to prove
efficiency with bows and arrows, a relic
of antiquity scarcely to be imagined
outside the Wilds of Africa. The rank
and file of the army is recruited to
large extent from the criminal classes.
Men whose offenses do not merit death
are sentenced to serve in the army, either
the imperial or the provincial forces.
Even with such force 1t might be pos
sible to accomplish something as has been
shown by the success of Gen. Gordon,
were they given any practical training.
One of the prominent features Of the
drill of the army consists of teaching the
recruit to assume an attitude ana ex-
preston to brighten his opponent at
the time of the opening of the war with
Japan, and, in fact, at the present time,
much of the armament consists of hall
herds, pixies, bows and arrows and long

Die all the time; and whereas once it
was just the black or the silver sequin,
we now have the saucy thing in every
color of the rainbow and in all sorts of
substances. The robe cannot exist with
out sequin, and the world of women
cannot exist without the robe. The
robe has been woman's best solace for
the dilatory sins of the dressmaker.

and no unsophisticated simplicity of a
hasty pudding recipe would this be, but
something filmg and sparkling and be-

frock, for example is almost always
fashioned from the sequinned robe. I
saw recently an altogether good black

deries enclosed appliques of black

of Richard there was naught save the

Kane's heart leaped. He was safe,
at least for the present. But there
was an expression of studied interest
in Richards glance as they exchanged
a few commonplaces, as though ask
ing what manner of man is this?'
which was to be explained a moment
later.
Turning to Stella, Kane asked to
see her dance-card, saying

Kane sent her an answering look,
and breathed more freely. The fact
that the brothers were both under his
roof seemed a good omen, and argued
no opposition to his suit
For the first time in many days his
inner mood lightened. All might yet
go we'll, and he resumed his task Of
welcoming the remaining guests with
almost boyish vim and abandon.
After all, the ball would be per-

tended, with his affianced bride as
its chief ornament and attraction for
him.
That waltz with Stella Dysart, he
told himself, the soft perfume of her
hair floating upward like blessed in
cense, was worth periling a mans
soul for. The while he held her in
his arms he vowed to himself that he
would 60 through the fires of perdition

the thought there came to him the

numbers less than 100000 men, though
its paper strength is more than 500 900.
This makes the total army of China num-

one-half the men in each regiment are
banner bearers and not armed at all. Of
methods of commissariat nothing is
known, nor is there such thing as hos

for this state of affairs lie, in great
measure, to the fact that funds appro-

CHAPTER VIII.

And now the quick march of events
brings us to the night of the dance at
The Cedars, which was to confront for
the first time on one stage the chief
characters in this little drama.
Dinner for the house party was over
at $3.50, and by nine o'clock the invited
guests from the nearby countryside
began to arrive. Among the first fight
was the party from Denecroft-Stella
and Sir Arthur, Marcia Churchill and
Richard.
The historic old picture gallery,
which was to be devoted to the dan
cling, was already well-filled, and Ros-
sitter Kane stood at the entrance to re-
ceive his guests in company with a
young-old dowager, Lady Agatha Kin
gar, who had consented to chaperon
the house party, seeing that the host
was bachelor.

of face, portly in form, and with IRE
proachable natural underpinning, an

pompous tones he vociferated:

suit the most exacting, and can you
not imagine how charming it would be
when made of gauzy black material

The ribbon girl is another charming
costume, that is far away from the or
