great strength of the Notifications, it
is believed will do much to make up
for the disparity In numbers.
Upon one point there is absolute
unanimity-namely that IL the fort
ress falls the feet will not fall into
the hands OF the japanese. On this
point the sdmiraity's instructions are
of the most imperative character.
Vice Admiral Prince Ouktomsky
has been orderd should the worst
come to sally forth for death struggle
and there is no question here that
these instructions will be carrie out
both in letter and in spirit, but if for
any reason q final sortie proves to be
impossible. the admiral is to destroy
his ships to make certain that the
wreoksge shall be absolutely ire

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child !
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion is substi-
tuted by cheap emulsions and
so-cslled wines, cordials and
extracts of cod-liver oil.
They can do you no good
and are dear at any price.
Why buy themi SCOTS
Emulsion has been the one
reliable preparation of cod
liver oil for nearly thirty years.

0GOhNLhEg an I'm
= I7@Fd slishman who has
XII served e Bty
ASIHS years in penal
q ~ servitude, Is to
II be released from
~ next week. He
Will be able to walk about among
his fellows and breath the fresh sir
of freedom.
The story Of his life is Of such
to make people pause and wonder
whether or not Providence ever
interferes to prevent an act Of in
Justice in this little world OF
ours.
Twenty years ago Lee was the
servant Of an elderly woman in
DevOnshire. She was penurious
to a degree and one day she reduc-
ed his wages to 10 cents a week
The next morning she was found
dead in her bed, strangled. 5us-
piciOn pointed to Lee. He was ar
rested, tried, convicted and SEN
tenced to be hanged, purely on
circumstancial evidence. No one
bad seer the deed committed.
When the time came for his ex.
ecution the gallOws was prepared
with deliberate care. He was led
out from his prison cell and placed
upon the trap, through which the
verdict had said be was to be
dropped into eternity. The lever
was pulled, but the trap refused to
work. The man with the moose
about his neck was removed from
the trap, and on pulling the lever
the trap fell with its own weight.
Three times did the hangman and
the wardens try to send this mans
soul into eternity. Every time he
was placed upon the trap he ut
tered these words, "I am limo.
cent" Then the mechanism reius.
ed to obey the ordinary laws Of
physics. Finally three men tried
by sheer physical force to compel
the trap to obey the demands Of
the lever. They could not bulge
it 30 long as the condemned man
was standing on it with the words,
at am Innocent echOing from his
tips. One Of the wardens tainted
from fright aud the condemned
man vas finally returned to his
ell.
The hangmau made an official
report OF the affair to the Home
Secretary, who Issued an order
that Lees sentence be COMMITTED
to imprisonment for life.
He will soon be free but the
question still remains.
Does the infinite ever interfere in
human aitairsf Reason and OBJ
servance is against the thought,
bet such occurrences IS this lend
good material to the belief that at
bhe critical moments in our lives a
hand is stretched down
rom above.
