Once more we get glimpse Of Emperor
Jacques Lebaudy. He is now SIG 600 poorer
through having royalty settled the claims
of the French marine department against
him, and those Of the deserted sailors whom
he recruited from the Frasquita. This ac-
tion of the Emperor jacques has rather con-
ciliated public opinion, since it shows that
Jacques Is no fool after all; he preferred
paying to commencing the interminable
wrangling with French court His BROTH
ers in Paris confess that they don't know
exactly how far his scheme has progressed,
but the fact that the aforesaid sailors re-
receipts were made out formally to His
Majesty Jacques Premier, Emperor du

Polite Terms for Crime.

Our language and vocabulary, with our
growing slackness, are changing. We
are carrying things otherwise insupport-
able) with laugh, and coming phrases
for the purpose. AS has been said. we
are still sensitive to such coarse words
as thief" and 'steal," but it is vain to
deny among ourselves that certain I'M
challenged doings Of today forcibly sug-
gest those terms. SO we save our face
with an indulgent gaiety, not devoid of
humOr. We give twist and a turn to
the rapidly changing English language,
and the ugly words disappear in the
process. When n conductor steals fare
we jocularly remark that he is knocking
down on the company when we steal
4 ride from the same company and con-
ductor we laughingly refer TO our success
in beating the game" when we bride
we merely influence or'square things :"
when we are brbed we collect Assess
ments" or rebates" or Commissions" or
''retainers." and so on, until we reach n
grave definition Of honest graft which
would be more humorous IL SO many peo-
pie did not feel that the term supplied
them with a long-felt want. Now. these
expressions and others like them may
bear strong resemblance TO thieves
slang, but they merely reject the Ian

A MINERS TROUBLE
REACHES A CLIMAX AFTER YEARS
OF SLOW DEVELOPMENT.
A Settlement Happily Effected in
the Case of Henry Story in Time
to Avert a Serious Misfortune.

II all the troubles of the coal miners
could be adjusted as salts factorily as
that which for many months disturbed
the happiness of Mr. Henry Story, of
532 Muskingum avenue, GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, it would be a most welcome re-
lief for both the men and their families.
he facts IN the case were related by
Mrs Story, who IS a very happy woman
today because her husband has had such
a fortunate escape from the calamity
that threatened him.
My husband" says Mrs. Story, SIS
a very hard working man and has al
ways been very healthy, but some
months ago rheumatism got hold of
him, and made him suffer terribly. It
would soon have used him up If it had
not been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, which, we think, are
the best medicine IN the world.
He suffered so much in his legs that
he could hardly stand; his back hurt,
and he had such pain in his left arm
that he could not rest night or day. His
arm WouId turn numb and L would have
to rub and battle it in hot water I tried
everything l could think OF to give him
relief. At last he went to doctor, who
told him that his trouble had come from
nard work. The doctor gave him some
medicine, but it did not do any good.
In the meantime l picked up a paper
and read about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and thought my hus-
bands trouble might be with his nerves.
got two boxes of the pills for him and
persuaded MIN TO take them.
after he had taken the first box he
felt much better, and when he had FIN
ished the second box he was better still.
So | bought six boxes the next time and
he took four of them that is six boxes
in all. That is three months ago and he
has never had an ache or pain since and
can do hard days work with any
young man. We praise DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to all our friends"
These famous pills effect radical cures
of all diseases of the blood such as
rheumatism, and of the nerves such as
neuralgia and partial paralysis. They
