Histake of French piclomats.

It is the custom in Abyssinia for all
foreign missions to bring presents tc
King Menelik. The French some
years ago brought a lot of Partisan
mechanical ~toys-sheep that squeak
ed, pigs that ran about on their hind
legs and dolls that talked. They
thought such things would be certain
to tickle the fancy of a dusky king.
Menelik looked at them for a moment
with disgust and rage, then he thrust
them aside. do you think" he asked.
that I am a child Or a savage, that
should delight in toys?" The Russian
and English emissaries showed a
truer insight into his character. They
brought him Mauser pistols, revolvers
and the latest and best rifles they
could buy. He a delighted. These
are gifts worthy to be received by a
warrior and a king" he declared. The
influence of the Russians and English
owe Menelik dates from that lucky
incident.

Russians Buying Salmon.

From 10000 to $4,000 cases of red
Alaska salmon are said to have been
bought by the Russian Government
as a portion of the army subsistence
for use in the war with Japan. This
purchase was made in San Francisco,
Cal.
1t is expected that there will be a
constant demand for canned salmon,
canned meats, picked meats, and 9th
er supplies in immense quantities.
Even if no war occurred it is pointed
out by numerous leading dealers that
business will improve because all Eu-
ropean nations will go upon a war foot
ing, and will be compelled to buy more
literally of food products.
If $4,000 cases of red Alaska salmon
have been taken out of the market,
as now seem probable, there is no tell
ing to what height prices will go.
There is practically NJ stock in hand
now, and the active consuming season
is almost here. The Russian embrog-
lilo promises, therefore, to exert con-
siderable influence upon the grocery
trade Of this city before it is sett.ed.-

Future of Panama,

Some persons on the other side of
the Atlantic see certain things on this
side of the water pretty clear. The
London Morning Post, for example,
says it is Gin the interest of the world
and of civilization that Panama de-
clare it's independence and hoist its
flag under the shelter Of the guns OF
the United States Navy" The London
| Daily Mail, with prophetic foresight,
declares that Panama's independence
will be of a ''shadowy nature and
that it must come to depend entirely
! on the United States, to which it will
henceforth be virtually annexed" And
it adds:
'Thus the United States draws a
step nearer to the immense wealth OF
| South America, which must some day
fall under its control"
All this, of course, is gospel. Civil
ization will be benefited by the separa-
ton Of Panama from Colombia. Pan
ANA, in it's new status, will virtually
be part of the territory of the United
States. Theoretically it will be inde-
pendent, at least for a time. Actually,
it will be a dependency Of the United
States. 1t will be formally annexed tc
the United States in time, pass through
the territorial status and then be ad'
mitted to the Union on an equality
with New York, Missouri and the resi-
of the states. This is prophecy which
will soon transmute itself into history

AM TIRED.
Everybody Is Tired--Spring

Depression of the nervous system at the

Depression of the nervous system at the
approach of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, duh, heavy sensations,
continual tired feeling, with irregular ap-
petite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Pc
runa meets every indication and proves it
self to be perfectly adapted to all their va
ried peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the
system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores
the normal appetite and produces regular
sleep.
That tired feeling which j. the natural
result Of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigorat-
Jag cold of winter quietly disappears when
Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily tes-
tifying to its priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 w. 18th street,
ADes Meines, Ia, writes: II am happy to
give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as ! consider it a valu-
able medicine to take when the system is
run down from overwork. About two years
ago l felt that ! must take a long rest, as
had been unable to work for over a month
and could not regain my strength. | could
not sleep at night and was in a very ner-
vous, high strung condition. ] decided to
try what Peruna would do to build up my
strength, and I'm pleased to say that | be-
gan to improve very shortly, and in less
than two months | was able to take up
my work, and felt better than / have for
years. l take it now twice a year, and find
that it keeps me in perfect health" Mrs.
Kassatt was for over ten years the mana
ger of q plant furnishing ladies' wear and

Roardino Houses Fail in England.

Although in many respects we have
become A~mericaniZed in the last few
years the boarding house system has
not taken root in England. Here and
there in London streets entirely de-
voted to boarding house keepers are
to he found, but the system has never
become really popular in England as it
has in America and on the continent.
The reason probably is that English
boarding houses are not u on bust
lines. The proprietress, instead of
regarding herself as the nanageress
of an hotel, persists in the fallacy that
she is a hostess and that her custom
ers are guests. Moreover, the strong
foreign element that is to be found
in most London boarding houses
makes English people suspicious OF
them. I believe that if some clever,
hustling Englisawoman with a fairly
large circle of friends were to start q
boarding house in London and run it
on business lines, instead Of those Of
friendship, the venture would prove a
big success. but all the old tradition
of the lady of the house and her
guests would have to be entirely

a "Bush" Vauabond.

A strange human document has
lust passed away in an Australian hos
pital. His pen name was "Scotty, the
Wrinkler." and his real one Philip
Henry Mitchell Mowbray. He was in
early manhod an officer of the Royal
artillery. In Australia he became a
professional swagman, 'sundoWner,'
or tramp. one of the vagabonds who
spend their lives wandering about
from one squatter's station to another,
and pick up a precarious livelihood by
doing odd Jobs. "Scotty" had studied
this nomadic population very. closely
and contributed many realistic
stories and sketches of their adven-
lures and habits to the Sydney Bull
letin. He might have earned a hand
some income with his pen if he could
have settled down to regular work,
hut he could not shake off the rowing
disposition. Many young fellows who,
for one reason or another-generally
drink-lose caste in the old country,
rise and recover themselves in
! Australia and develop into successful
c~olonists. Others sink into the army
