A Nerve Trying ordeal.

Some years ago the students at the
Japanese Naval academy We're accus-
toned to attend an annual banquet.
They sat at circular table around u
slowly re's,it7ing cannon loaded with a
ball and trained to the level of their
heads. The trigger was so arranged
that it could be touched from a hidden
source outside of the banquet hall.
That at some time during the tNnquet
the cannon would be fired every one at
the table knew, but just when or in
what direction it would be pointing
was Il mystery.
OF course there was possibility
that the ball might crash harmlessly
between the heads of two banqueters,
but it was equally probably that it
might carry off the head of some stu
dent Yet no one finched. The
chances We're equal to all.
The picturesque object Of destruction
revolving during the jovial hours of the
banquet, pointing from student to stu
dent and ready at a given moment to
blow any one of them to pieces, was
considered in Japan admirable training
to steady the nerves of a fighting man

the Good Qualities of Chamber
laln'S Cough Remedy.

AsHBURNHAM, Ont, April IS, 1903
| think it is only right that L should
tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter I
was so distressed with cold and
cough that did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as my
voice was almost choked by the cough.
The same day received an order from
you for a bottle of your Cough Rene
dy. at once procured sample bot
tie, and took about three doses of the
medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disap-
peared and l was able to preach three
times on Easter Day. 1 know that
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough remedy. / make this
testimonial without solicitation, being
thankful to have found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,

source of anxiety and trouble all the

places becoming cancerous If not

are good for external use, but they
can't stop the discharge or change

this reason the sore never heals per-

FROM CALF OF THE LEG TO ANKLE
A SOLID SORE.
New Castle, Pa, July 90, lee

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 a poultice,
fax seed, supposedly. BY some fearful
mistake I was given corrosive subli-
mate, and after having it on for few
minutes I 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. 1 i'm
mediately sent for another physician,
who told me I had been poisoned. MY
limb from the calf to the ankle was ono
solid infamed sore. was advised to
begin s. 8. s., and improved rapidly
under it's 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. 8. s., I began it again
as soon as I was over the fever, and to
make 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,

that the regro, Sam Brown, who
killed Alsan Hethington, at Meg

been captured by the posse which
are after ham. The pursuit is still
on and the opinion seems to be that
the capture is ouly question of
time. A report was circulated here
today that the negro had been ar
rested by police oficer at the Line
street station, the negro having made
for Charleston for greater protection,
but there was no truth in the story.
The negro who resembled Brown,
arrested at Green Pond last mig ght,
has been released ss be was not the
man who did the killing. The feel

Bombardiag Continues

Londoo, Aug. lS-The Russian
garrison at Port Arthur has refused
to comply with the Japanese demand
to surrender, and non-combatants in
the beleagured city refuse to avail
themselves of the Japanese offer Of a
chance to leave the city. Telsgrams
issued by the Japanese legation this
morning confirm the press reports
to this effect. The japanese de-
mands were teat into the beleagured
city DIor day night with a stipulation
that an answer must be sent by 10
o'clock yesterday. The refusal
means that the bombardment CT the
city will be recommended with In
creased vigor. Owing to the serious
plight of the garrison it is expected
that the fall CT Port Arthur will be
Effected III few days.

ROYALTIES Not Bidden.

Washington, August l7-Careful
inquiry at the State department de-
velops the fact that no invitation has
passed through that department to
any king, prince or potentste to at
tend the worlds fair at st. Louis
The executive branch of the govern
ment does not intend to issue invita-
tions of this kind except on explicit
directions from Congress. Congress
has appropriated no money to enter
taio royal visitors, and; moreover, it
is regarded as highly desirable that
there should be no discrimination IN
such invitations, and it is not feasable
to invite all the crowed heads OF
Europe to ST. Louis al the govern
ment's expense.
Il is possible that some distin-
guished visitors will come of their
own volitiop, in which case the Pres
ident will see to it that they receive
every possible courtesy, but he can
not extend invitations.
