Finding a Victim.

When a crowd of boys in a board
ing-school have settled on some mis-
chief by common consent, and have
been detected and ordered to bring
forward the ringleader to be punished.
there is often great difference of opin-
ion as to who the ringleader really
is. The boys of Winchester College.
IN England, have hit upon a scheme
OF settling the matter, says a master
OF the school, the Rev. G. NJ A. Hewett.
When the master demands victim
as sacrifice of atonement for break
ing rules, the boys get all together,
and each puts twopence into a hat.
Then each boys name is written on
a Slip and lots are drawn The one
who is chosen to be the victim takes
the collection in the hat, and delivers
himself over to the master as the ring
leader. Then when he has been sufi-
GENTLY punished, he goes down town
and consoles himself with ice-cream
bought by the common fund.-Youth's

The FISHING FLEET.
ENGLISH TRAWLERS THATwERF
VICTIMS OF RUSSIAN GUNS.
The Industry, Though Great One,
Is of Comparatively Recent Origin
Result of Hard Times
in England

By the: recent action of the Russian
Baltic fleet in firing on fleet of British
fishing vessels in the North sea, an in
dustry has been brought into the public
eye, which, although little has been
written about it, is the main support
of the inhabitants of the east coast or
England
Trawling is not new pursuit 1t is
over 80 years since the business was
first taken up by sailors of the North
sea, and its inauguration was due to the
great stagnation in the shipping trade
which occurred in the seventies
Trawling was followed particularly by
certain steam tugs that were plying
at the mouth of the Wear and Tyne.
and the success of these tug trawlers
was so great that their example was
followed not only in Great Britain, but
by the fishermen of the Continent.
Since that time very great improve
ments have been made in the construc-
ton of the ships engaged in this calling.
At first they were of wood, and this
was quickly changed to iron, and those
that used to be sailing vessels have been
changed into steamers. The extent of
this change may be judged from the fol-
lowing facts: In 1883 al Hull there were
only 20 steamers to 900 sailing trawlers,
but by 1900 there were $50 steam traw-
lers and only four that used sails. At

TOO GREAT A RESEMBLANCE
Partrait So Like the Original That
It Lacked Charitable Ex-

Bishop Oimsted, of Denver, is interest
ed in a number of charities, and obtains
many generous contributions on their be-
halt from rich Episccpalians, says the New
York Tribune.
There is in Denver, however, a million
aire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is
generous man, and in his own way he
assists the poor, but to organized char
ity, for some reason, he heartily OBJ
lects. The bishop often asks him for
subscriptions, but these requests are al
most invariably refused.
Recently the millionaire had his por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met him
the other day and said:

portrait
And did you ask it for subscription 3"

AN ENGLISH TRAWLER.

Hull the avOcatiOn is carried out in two
separate ways, corresponding with two
classes Of traWlerS. In one the traWler
goes out by itself, and stays at sea a
week or ten days if the fishing ground
happens to be far away. These brin e
their own catch home, and it is dis
patched from their port to Billingsgate
But in the other instance it is customary
for large firm to own fleet of trawlers,
and with them the business is much bet
ter organized These trawlers often 60
out for five or six weeks at a time, and
one OF the captains is put in command
OF the rest, the vessels on this account
being called Fleeters in the neighbor-
hood. For the purpose of conveying the
fish taken to London, special vessels
are employed as carriers, and the traw-
lers transfer their catch to this carrying
vessel In speaking of the composition
Of fleet, we ought not to omit mention
Of the hospital ship, which belongs to

the Royal National Mission to Deep-sea
Fishermen. The first hospital steam
traWler was launched in 1899, and began
us work in April of the next year. In
her construction the greatest care was
taken, with view to making provision
for the special use for which she was
designed. Thus, in addition to water
tight bulkheads, and collision bulkhead
at each end, she has a hot-water heating
installation for heating the hospital
saloon and the crews quarters forward,
while special arrangements are made to
ensure sufficient ventilation. The hos
p1tal is fitted with swing cots for frac-
ture cases, and furnished with all the
most modern surgical appliances, in
Guiding ROntgen ray apparatus. This
provision of hospital ships will not be
deemed unnecessary by those who re-
member that Grimsby and Hull are the
most important fishing ports in Great
Britain, if the value of the fish landed be
taken as criterion.
They that go down to the sea in ships

told, but they also have to face innumer-
able hardships and privations to which
landsmen are not exposed. Scarcely
season passes without some tale of wreck
and misfortune, to which they submit
with kind of fatalism as to what was
doomed beforehand and is inevitable.
To the untutored observer who
watches the vessels at work off the Eng
Iish coast it would seem that immense
wealth attended the efforts of the fisher
men; but most of the boats are owned

Bordering on the miraculous is the case
of Mrs. Benz. Wilson, of this place. Suf-
fering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted

barely tipped the scales at 100 lbs. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her
cure her husband says:
My wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years
and doctored with two doctors, but re-
ceived no benefit. She had so much pain
all over her that she could not rest day
or night. The doctor said that she could
not live.
Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a

TARIFF REVISION CERTAIN
SENATOR HANSBROUGH SAYS
TARIFF WILL BE CHANGED BY
WINNERS OF THE ELECTION.

Senator H. C. Hansbrough of North
Dakota, who was in the twin scities
yesterday, expressed his belief that
there would be an early readjustment
of the tariff. He is confident of
Roosevelt's success, but he says that
in either event the tariff is going to
be changed, by its friends or by its
foes.
Senator Hansbrough, who as a
member of the resolutions committee
at the national convention, stood by
Senator Nelson in an effort to get a
more positive declaration for revision,
states his argument as follows:
The tariff should be readjusted to meet
changed and changing conditions. The
present tariff law will be eight years old
next summer. Since it was enacted, we
have fought war with foreign. country,
we have freed Cuba, acquired Porto Rico
and the Philippines and become great
world power. Necessarily our CONNER
cial relations with foreign countries have
changed. For that reason think that the
tariff law should be overhauled and
brought down to date. H.
1t may be a. fine distinction, but I be-
lieve there is a distinction between a re-
vision and q readjustment of the tariff
| BY revision it is generally understood
| that duties are to be lowered all along the
line, whereas it we proceed to readjus1
the existing law we would find number
of articles now on the free list that SHOULD
be placed on the dutiable list. I am equal
! ly certain that there are articles on the
dutiable list the rates upon which should
! be lowered.
r believe that the tariff is going to be
the principal issue in the coming presi
! Dental campaign Some believe that the
| trust question will be the paramount is
sue, but it will be found when discussion
opens that the democrats have no rem
edy whatever to offer, whereas we al
know that President Roosevelt has adopt
ed the policy Of enforcing existing laws
| In addition, the departm ent Of commerc,
has been established during his admins
tration and this department is now en-
gagged N bringing about the most com
plete publicity with respect to, the so

But the question from our stand
point is who is going to get this road.
Canadian Northern and Grand Pacific
are mentioned. In the hands of Ca
madam Northern it could be made
very dangerous. We get little enough

are open. Canada Atlantic independ-
ent has been bad enough as a COM
petitor. With Canadian Northern to
feed it, it should nearly double it's
tonnage. The addition would be
made at our expense and the expense
of Canadian Pacific. The transporta-
ton company fleet on the upper lakes

THE FRUITS OF LlFE
They Are Determined by the Strength
of the Body and Mind.

It is the laboratory worker who is
coming to the front now as the crea-
tor Of new fruits. When the cold
winds from the north destroyed the
citrus industry of Florida, work was
undertaken at once by the national
government to secure an orange
which would be more hardy than any
now grown in the east. AS far north
as Philadelphia is a small Japanese
orange which is only suitable for or
ndmental purposes and which bears
a fruit the size of a walnut. Here
was the hardness; by using this plant
as a mother and the tender, sweet
orange of Florida as the father, and
vice versa, hybrids have been pro-
duced which partake of the charac-
teristics Of both. These. hybrids are
now beginning to fruit for the first
time. They are, Of course, not so
hardy as the hardy mother, but are
much more hardy than the sweet or
ange, the other parent.

FAIR FOLKS

Many claim they are nervous ''by
nature" when it is really only because
they are slaves to the coffee or
tea habit, and this is easily proved by
cutting out the coffee or tea for ten
days and using we'll boiled Postum

II seemed endowed by nature with
a nervous constitution" says a lady Of
Knoxville, Tenn, "and although I felt
tea and coffee were bad for me, the
force of habit was so strong I just
couldn't give them up.
Someone suggested that I try
cereal coffee, but remembered what
insipid drinks we used under that
name during the civil war, and SO
without ever looking into the subject
or realizing what progress science had
made in this direction, just wouldn't
give Postum a trial until finally the
w. C. T. U. in our city started an ex-
change where there were so many
calls for Postum it was served regu-
larly and many were thus induced to
try it, myself among the number How
delighted I was to find 1t so agreeable,
delicious and satisfying. AS 1 had suf-
fered from nervous prostration a
change from tea and coffee was i'm
perative. but all these troubles dis
appeared after I had used the Postum
faithfully for few weeks.
"a sister and a son-in-law were
converted to Postum at the same time
and now we all enjoy it as we'll as we
did coffee, but instead Of making us
nervous like coffee. we enjoy steady
nerves, sleep sound and are in every
way better for the change" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
This lady found what she thought
was natural nervousness was only due
to an acquired taste for coffee that
Is to some people a sure destroyer OF
nerves and health. Like her, anyone
who cuts off coffee altogether and uses
we'll boiled Postum in it's place will be
greatly benefited after few days and

There's a reason.
