Origin of the Sentiment.

An aged clergyman with silvery
hair was the recipient of several SIM
ultaneOus requests from young ladies
for lock of his hair
The requests were complied with,
the clergyman being pleased to fulfill
wishes which seemed founded on a
sentiment of respect, and all went well
until his wife received this note:
Dear Mrs. -; Won't you please ask
your husband to send me little lock
OF his hair? We have all been taking
lessons in making hair flowers. So
many of the other girls asked him,
and he sent it to them, that thought
would rather ask you to get it for
me. Won't you please do this for me-?
It is so hard to get white hair for
lilies of the valley."-Chicago Journal.

REPORT AvERTs AN ULTIMATUM
Stateme nts Are, However, Inconceivable to

Stateme nts Are, However, Uncomfortable to
Ian sdOwne-One Demand Denied.
Had Admiral Rojestvensky's report
not arrived it is probable the dispute
would have been settled one way or
the other last night It's terms, how
ever are generally held to prevent the
presentation of the ultimatum which
Great Britain undoubtedly intended to
send. Although Lord Lansdowne has
frankly said that the circumstances re-
ported by Admiral Rojestvensky are to
him incOnceivable the foreign minis
ter is not prevented from seeing that
new light has been thrown on the out
rage and that diplomatic usage now
compels less urgent action than the
British government at first contem-
plated.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
that the report that Great Britain has
demanded the punishment of the au-
thors of the trawler incident is un-
true, and that Great Britain has not
yet made any specific demands except
for an inquiry, pending which there
can be no question of a demand for
punishment This is puzzling the news
papers, which have published the
statement that the demand was made,
and now it is said that while no de.
mand has really been made on the car
for such action 'Lansdowne, in CONVEX
sation," has made such a demand "to
all intents and purposes which is
different thing, in diplomacy.
Meanwhile the press here reports
that the ships of the British channel
fleet at Gibraltar cleared their decks
yesterday afternoon and that it is ru-
mored that the whole fleet, with the
exception of the battleship Caesar, will
steam westward today with the al
legged purpose of making sham attack
against the rock Of Gibraltar. Also
that all the vessels of the British Medi-
terranean fleet now in Greek waters
have been ordered to sail forthwith.

A Little Lose

Of flesh and strength, little barking,
obstinate cough and little pain in
the chest may not mean galloping
consumption, but they are sights
that prudence will not neglect. A
few doses of Aliens Lung Balsam
cause free discharge of mucus and
so loosens the cough. It heals the
infamed air passages and all it's
beneficent work is accomplished
without grain of opium.

London, Oct. 2S.-One of the most
complicated diplomatic situations in re-
cent history, and one that is attended
with the most dangerous possibilities
for the peace of the whole of Europe,
exists, with no sign of immediate solu-
ton. The tension has been modified
by the introduction of an entirely new
set of contentious contained in Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's report; yet
even the most astute diplomats, who
recognize temporary improvement in
conditions, are puzzled by the compli-
cations that SO curiously cause it.
However, there is at the embassies a
very strong conviction that way out
will be found other than in recourse to
war;
Rojestvensky's Report in Brief.
The pitch of the report of Admiral
Rojestvensky, as telegraphed from st.
Petersburg, not official, is to the effect
that the Russian squadron was at
boats which came upon the squadron
from the direction of the fishing feet.
He opened fire and believes he sunk
one OF the torpedo boats, the other
making off for cover among the fisher
men. AS soon as he saw the fisher
men Admiral Rojestvensky ceased fir
ing. He proceeded on his way with
out leaving any vessel behind, and says
he believes the vessel which the fisher
men reported as remaining on the
scene for six hours without Offering
succor to the drowning was the other
torpedo boat, either waiting for her
consort or repairing damage inflicted
by the fire of his ships.
Japs Says 1t Was Impossible.
Baron Hayachi, the japanese minis
ter, after reading Admiral Rojesr-
venskys report again reiterated his
statement that it was impossible that
any japanese torpedo boat could have
been where the Russian admiral
thought them. The baron also en-
phatically denied a statement from
Copenhagen that the Danish ministry
of marine was informed recently thai
several ships were chartered at Hull
by the Japanese government to attack
the Russian Baltic squadron, and that
thirteen Swedish vessels had also been
chartered by Japan for the same pur-
pose. The Japanese minister said that
no ship had been chartered by his
government from Hull or elsewhere to
destroy the Baltic squadron. He said
such thing would be impossible.

GIRL WAS IN TROUBLE
Left Der Home After Telling Her Mother
She Would Never See Her
Alive Again.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 2S.-The
parents and friends of pretty 1S-year-
old Mabel Clark, popular operator
in the Fell Telephone Office, called
at police headquarters and asked that
search for her body be made in
Grand river, the mother believing that
she drowned herself some time dur
ing the night.
The case is an unusually sad one.
Mrs. Clark discovered that her daugh-
ter was in trouble, and after a quar-
rel, Mabel ran out of the house, but
before going told the mother that she
would never see her alive again." She
was clad in thin shirt waist and was
bareheaded when she left.
1t is believed she went direct to the
river and jumped in. Neighbors say
that the girl had threatened several
times recently to commit suicide.

that the basing price Of whIskey had dropped from

five cents in about two months created sensation

A GREAT CLERICAL OPERATION.
Magnitude of Morton Trust Company's Task
in Handling Tobacco Merger.

The reorganization OF the tobacco companies
which is being carried through the agency of
the Morton Trust Company is noteworthy as being
one Of the greatest operations of its kind, in the
amount of clerical labor and bookkeeping in the
history of American finance. The total value the
securities to be received for conversion into stock
is 1868 sos 800 while the of new securities
however includes s1S0Ocoo00 In common stock Of

of work involved in signatures. verifcation, diff

ably be appreciated only by trust company officers

Before we bought the rights to Liquozone'
we tested it for two years, through physicians
and hospitals in this country and others we
proyed it in all kinds of germ diseases-ln tnou-
sands Of the most difficult cases obtainable.
And we cured with it nearly every disease
which was considered incurahle.
We knew then that the product was of vital
worth to humanity. We know that everywhere
there was sickness which Liquozone alone could
cure and suffering which nothing but dquo-
zone could stop. We knew that thousands died
daily whom Liquozone could save.
But what was the best way to quickly let the
sick ones know it? How could get this help
to them at once? How could we best convince
them that Liquozone did what medicine never
could do?
We decided to buy the first bottle and give 1t
free to every sick one we learned Of We would
let the product itself prove its power. So we
published this offer, again and again. in nearly
every newspaper III America.
The result is that millions use Liquozone now.
Your own neighbors, wherever you are, can
tell YOU about il. And half the people one
meets in any part of America know some one
whom LiquoZone has cured.
