Of 100000 to the Sultan, and the
Khedive is supposed to be subject to
his Will. Lord Cromer. the British con-
sui general and diplomatic agent, is
the de facto ruler Of the country, and
the Khedive is allowed to do nothing
without his consent and approval. He
has no formal title. In the official lists
he ranks with the consul generals Of
the United States and other countries,
and on ceremonial occasions he ap-
pears with his collea CUES of the con-

Lord Cromer Is Boss.

promoted, honored and admired. Hence
Lord Cromer has his finger upon every
bureau and upon every clerk of every

compelled to accept the situation which
CONTINUES as it existed when he came
to the throne in 1892, and is likely to
continue indefinitely.
Englishmen are careful to exDlain
that they have not annexed Egypt;
that there is no prOtectOrate. and that
no official tie exists between the two
governments. The word '.occupation'
is used to describe a condition that has
existed since 1882, and in theory Great
Britain has never attempted 10 legalize
her position in Egypt. Her army is
there theoretically at the request of
the Khedive to preserve the peace and

The other powers of Europe accent
the situation for financial reasons. be-
cause the interests of their subjects in
the Egyptian debt can best be served
that way. They are allowed represen-

rest of the responsibility.

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
a SOLID SORE.

New Castle, Pa, July 90, 1908.
Three years ago a common boil ap.
peared on the calf Of my limb. Not yield
ing to simple home remedies, I consulted
a physician, who prescribed poultice,
max seed, supposedly. BY some fearful
mistake was given corrosive subli-
mate, and after having it on for few
minutes could endure the pain no
longer, so took off the application and
found that my limb from the calfto the
ankle was in an awful condition. i'm
mediately sent for another physician,
who told me had been poisoned. My
limb from the calf to the ankle was ono
solid inhamed sore. was advised to
begin s. 8. g., and improved rapidly
under its use, but about this time had
an attack oftyphoid fever, and this set
tied in the original sore. This, of course,
caused a back set, but having confidence
in the ability of 8. s. s., began it again
as soon as was over the fever, and to
make a long story short, was completely
and permanently cured. Two years have
elapsed, and have never had a return OF
the trouble. MRS. X. A. DUFFY,

Smythe laughed. He felt it rather a

he replied. NO enc else can do it. that's

Lord Duncan bit at his moustache

And thus was the evil bargain made.
