have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little and was very
yellow even the whites Of her eyes
would be yellow.
"Ths doctors gave us no encourage

her. After taking one box Of Dodd's

treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and We still give
them to her occasionally, when she Is

Russian Officer kilIed-Japaness Best
In describing the fight between the
Russian and japanese torpedo boats, a
London Times correspondent confirms
the fierceness Of the contest. The yes.
sells were SO close that the Russians
threw charges OF explosives on one Of
he japanese boats. One Of these. how.
ever. failed to detonats.
AL the vessels engaged we're more
or less damaged. The Japanese losses
were six kI,ied and eight wounded.
That the Russians were defeated in
spite of their superior numbers Is due
to the better shooting Of the japanese
and the fact that the Russian vessels
we're armed with three pound guns,
while the armament Of the Japanese
ships was made up Of six Founders.
In reference to the tight Of three
hours. which occurred later. the cor
respondent says the Russians fought
with desperation and the Japanese
with confidence OF their past victories.
One Russian commander was killed
early In the fight. A lieutenant then
took command. only to fall, shot in
both legs. Then the command devolved
on the sub-lieutenant. who also was
killed after taking the wheel himself.
when the coxswain fell this vessel was
captured by the Japanese. The other
Russian vessel escaped.

HIll's Tip on the Market

One of the best stories of the many in- effectual attempts to wiring a hint from J. J. Hill on the probable course of the market during the merger litigation is told by a wealthy St. Paul capitalist, himself personal friend of Mir. Hill. Effort after effort to ''get line" on stocks failed. Finally. just prior to Mir. Hills last visit to New York, the two dined together at the Minnesota Club, and the conversation turned to the market. Mir. Hill was courteously vague and blandly evasive. Finally his friend re- marked:
 Just between ourselves, I hold quite a block of Securities stock and hold quite little Union Pacific. I have been won dering whether I better hang on to the Securities or enlarge my U. P. hold ings."
 Silence for three minutes. Then Mir. Hill leaned over, and with his peculiarly friendly smile, the kind he wears when he is really anxious to help, remarked, with his hand on his friends shoulder:
 My dear Blank I'll tell you what I'd do. I'd sell a little of one and buy a little of the other"
 But there wasn't an opportunity to ask which

MT, HiII and l,In neIIa.

James J. Hill, pioneer railroad king of the Northwest, has Herculean prejudices Among other things he dislikes bells. He owns the finest sleighs and horses in St. Paul, but no juggling accompanies his sleighing. For the same reason he has little use for telephones and never uses one when 1t can be avoided. Mir. Hill maintains offices ir several cities. but ncne of them is equipped with that mod ern convenience so essential to the aver age business man.
 When MT. Hilrs offices in St Paul were recently renovated his private room was equipped with a telephone and fine set of bells to signal his office force MT Hill called before him the office mana ger and expressed general satisfaction. But why did you put in these bells?" he demanded. My men aren't cows. and when want them can use my lungs. |"
 The next day signal bells and telephone were removed.
